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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. 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, 2013.

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5 a California Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), was formed on March 3, 1997 under the laws of the State of California. 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. is the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner” or “Associates”). The chairman and president owns 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 to be in full force and effect until December 31, 2052 unless terminated prior to that date pursuant to the partnership agreement or law.

The financial statements include only activity relating to the business of the Partnership, and do not give effect to any assets that the partners may have outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations, including income taxes, of the partners.

The Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units of limited partnership interest (“Partnership Units”) at $1,000 per Partnership Unit. The offering of Partnership Units has concluded and 25,000 Partnership Units, representing subscriptions in the amount of $24,918,175, net of discounts of $54,595 for volume purchases and dealer discounts of $27,230 had been accepted. 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. As of September 30, 2013, a total of 24,903 Partnership units remain outstanding. The investors in the Partnership (“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 properties 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 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 Credit 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 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 properties, 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 the 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. Until all Local Limited Partnerships have completed the 15 year Low Income Housing Tax Credit Compliance period, risks exist for potential recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits received.

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 November 30, 2014.

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 their 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.

Exit Strategy

The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates 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. A sale prior to the end of the Compliance Period could result in recapture if certain conditions are not met. Six of the Housing Complexes have completed their Compliance Period as of September 30, 2013.

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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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 maximize the Limited Partners’ return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down the Partnership. 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 September 30, 2013. As of March 31,2013 six Housing Complexes completed their 15 year Compliance Period.

As of March 31, 2013,the Partnership had sold its Local Limited Partnership Interest in Murfreesboro Villas, L.P., Concord Apartment Partners, L.P., Chillicothe Plaza Apartments, L.P. and Enhance, L.P., El Reno Associates ( El Reno) and Austin Gateway Ltd.

As of September 30, 2013, Bradley Villas, L.P., Hillcrest Heights, L.P., Hughes Villas, L.P., Mark Twain Senior Community, L.P., Spring Valley Terrace Apartments, LLC, United Development Company, L.P. - 97.1 (“UDC 97.1”) and United Development Company, L.P. – 97.2 (“UDC 97.2”) were identified for disposition. Contracts have been drafted and are currently under review by potential purchasers of the Limited Partnership interests. As of the date of this report, the estimated purchase prices are still unknown for all properties except UDC 97.1 and 97.2.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Housing Complexes in UDC 97.1 and UDC 97.2 were sold. The investment balance was zero at the time of sale for both Local Limited Partnerships. UDC 97.1, and UDC 97.2 were appraised for $1,100,000 each, and had a mortgage note balance of $814,000, and $328,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. Both Partnerships had other debt including past due property taxes. Both UD 97.1 and UD 97.2 had filed for bankruptcy and both properties were sold under the supervision of the bankruptcy court. There were no cash proceeds to the Partnership for either of these deals. The mortgage notes on both Partnerships were in technical default due to the fact that property taxes were not current. The Housing Complexes were sold and all encumbrances of debt were transferred with the dispositions. Both UDC 97.1 and UDC 97.2 will wind down any remaining partnership activity and ultimately dissolve by December 31, 2013.

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 allocated to the Partnership and any 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 and were being amortized over 30 years(see Note2).

“Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships” for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 has been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three and six-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).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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 September 30, 2013, 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.

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. The Partnership had no cash equivalents for all periods presented.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income for all periods presented.

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. Income tax returns filed by the Partnership are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2009 remain open.

Net Loss Per Partnership Unit

Net loss per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available 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, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Partnership owns limited partnership interests in 9 Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate 413 apartment units. The respective Local 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 99.9%, as specified in the Local Limited Partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, and Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Local Limited Partnerships.

Selected financial information for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 from the unaudited combined condensed financial statements of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested is as follows:

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses and/or have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital contributions by the Partnership may be required to sustain operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associate 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 Period.

On September 13, 2011, the Partnership was notified by legal counsel for the Local General Partner of United Development Co., L.P. – 97.1 (“UD 97.1”) and United Development Co., L.P. – 97.2 (“UD 97.2”) that the Local General Partner is being sued by the lender, Wells Fargo Bank (Wells Fargo), for being in default on its loans due to past due property taxes. Wells Fargo confirmed that the loans were current regarding mortgage payments, but due to the fact that the property taxes past due, they were suing to call all of the notes to be paid in full immediately. A meeting was held on November 22, 2012 with the county and city to review a new payment plan on the past due taxes. Associates has received a copy of the plan signed by the Local General Partner that provides for the payment of delinquent taxes and the refinancing of the property with the intention of removing Wells Fargo by 2015. As of the date of this report, the Local General partner has continued to comply with the agreements to pay the delinquent property taxes. A date has not been established for the receivership proceedings by Wells Fargo. The Partnership’s investment balance in these Local Limited Partnerships was $0 as of both September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

Under the terms of the delinquent real estate tax repayment plan negotiated by the General Partner with the City and County, monthly combined payments of $41,000 per month were to be made, current year taxes were to be paid when due and an annual balloon payment was to be made each December 31^st. The General Partner began making these monthly installments in January 2012 with all monthly installments being paid current through December 2012. The General Partner, however, failed to pay the 2012 taxes when due and also failed to make the December 31^st balloon payment as required thus defaulting on the payment agreement. Wells Fargo, in turn, restored their motion for receivership and a court date of January 23, 2013 was established. After numerous discussions with the General Partner, it was clear the partner lacked the resources necessary to bring these delinquent payments current and a partner’s meeting was scheduled for January 11, 2013. At this meeting of the partners, the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner both voted to remove the General Partner for cause. The General Partner refused to recognize the vote so the Partnership filed a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the removed General Partner from interfering with the transition to the new General Partner. Due to the poor condition of the books and records and other financial demands of these partnerships, the replacement General Partner has elected to file for bankruptcy. Local bankruptcy counsel was hired, all filings were prepared and the actual filing occurred on January 22, 2013.

The Partnership is not obligated to fund advances to the Local Limited Partnerships. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Partnership sold its Housing Complexes in UDC 97.1 and UDC 97.2 as disclosed in note 1.

NOTE 5 – CONTRIBUTIONS

The debt was a result of operating expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or an affiliate. The cancellation of debt is considered a capital contribution by the General Partner to the Partnership and as such it is reflected in the Statement of Partner’s Equity (deficit) in the Partnership’s condensed financial statements.

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 September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 September 30, 2013 consisted of $17,000 in cash and $18,000 in other assets. Liabilities at September 30, 2013 consisted of $1,264,000 of accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner and affiliates.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012. The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $(63,000), reflecting an increase of approximately $(61,000) from the $(2,000) net loss experienced for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was partially due to an increase of $(40,000) in legal and accounting expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Legal and accounting expenses increased due to legal expenses related to the Wells Fargo lawsuit against the Local General Partner of United Development Co., L.P. – 97.1 (“UD 97.1”) and United Development Co., L.P. – 97.2 (“UD 97.2”)incurred. Gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships decreased by $(24,000) during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The number of dispositions and gains recorded vary from period to period depending on the economic conditions and the market for the properties in the specific location. There was a $2,000 decrease in asset management fees during the three months ended September 30, 2013. These fees are calculated based on the Invested Assets. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the Invested Assets decrease, thereby decreasing the asset management fees that are incurred.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 2012. The Partnership’s net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $(164,000), reflecting an increase of approximately $(108,000) from the $(56,000) net loss experienced for the six months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in net loss is largely due to the $(90,000) increase in legal and accounting expenses during the six months end September 30, 2013. Legal and accounting expenses increased due to legal expenses related to the Wells Fargo lawsuit against the Local General Partner of United Development Co., L.P. – 97.1 (“UD 97.1”) and United Development Co., L.P. – 97.2 (“UD 97.2”).Gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships decreased by $(24,000) during the six months ended September 30, 2013. The number of dispositions and gains recorded vary from period to period depending on the economic conditions and the market for the properties in the specific location. There was a $5,000 decrease in asset management fees during the six months ended September 30, 2013. These fees are calculated based on the Invested Assets. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the Invested Assets decrease, thereby decreasing the asset management fees that are incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2012. The net decrease in cash during the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $(11,000) compared to a net increase in cash during the six months ended September 30, 2012 of $5,000. The decrease was partially due to an $(11,000) payment of outstanding accounts payable during the six months ended September 30, 2013. There was a decrease of $(24,000) in net proceeds from sale of Local Limited Partnerships. During the six months ended September 30,2012, the Partnerships sold two of the Local Limited Partnerships compared to none sold during the six months ended September 30, 2013. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership paid$0 to the General Partner or an affiliate for accrued asset management fees and the reimbursements of operating expenses which were paid on its behalf compared to$(26,000) paid to the General Partner or an affiliate during the six months ended September 30, 2012.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party asset management fees and advances due to the General Partner, increased by $94,000. The General Partner does not anticipate that the balance of the 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, 2013, 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, 2014.

Recent Accounting Changes

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance related to fair value measurements on how to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. For fair value measurements categorized as level 3, a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, a description of the valuation processes and narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not materially affect the Partnership’s condensed financial statements.

Other Matters

On September 13, 2011, the Partnership was notified by legal counsel for the Local General Partner of United Development Co., L.P. – 97.1 (“UD 97.1”) and United Development Co., L.P. – 97.2 (“UD 97.2”) that the Local General Partner is being sued by the lender, Wells Fargo Bank (Wells Fargo), for being in default on its loan due to past due property taxes. Wells Fargo confirmed that the loans were current regarding mortgage payments, but due to the fact that the property taxes past due, they were suing to call all of the notes to be paid in full immediately. A meeting was held on November 22, 2012 with the county and city to review a new payment plan on the past due taxes. Associates has received a copy of the plan signed by the Local General Partner that provides for the payment of delinquent taxes and the refinancing of the property with the intention of removing Wells Fargo by 2015. As of the date of this report, the Local General partner has continued to comply with the agreements to pay the delinquent property taxes. A date has not been established for the receivership proceedings by Wells Fargo. The Partnership’s investment balance in these Local Limited Partnerships was $0 as of both September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

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 September 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
