  1.   The local limited partnership will employ either its local general partner
       or an affiliate of its local general partner, or a third party, as a
       property manager for leasing and management of the apartment complex. The
       fee payable generally is determined pursuant to market conditions.
  
  2.   The local limited partnership will pay its local general partner or an
       affiliate of its local general partner fees for various services, including
       organization, development, land acquisition, syndication, and the like.
  
  3.   Reflects the amount of the net cash flow from operations, if any, to be
       distributed to Series 9 and the local general partner for each year of
       operations. Net cash flow generally is equal to the excess of revenues over
       expenses, including the property manager's fee.
  
  4.   Subject to certain special allocations, reflects the respective percentage
       interests in profits, losses and low income housing tax credits of
       (i) Series 9, (ii) WNC Housing, L.P., an affiliate of WNC & Associates,
       Inc. which is the special limited partner, and (iii) the local general
       partner.
  
  5.   Reflects the percentage interests in any net cash proceeds from sale or
       refinancing of the apartment complex of (i) Series 9, and (ii) the local
       general partner. Net cash proceeds from sale or refinancing of the
       apartment complex is equal to the sale proceeds less payment of the
       mortgage loan and other local limited partnership obligations.
  
  6.   Series 9 normally will make its capital contributions in stages, with each
       contribution due when certain conditions regarding construction or
       operations of the apartment complex have been fulfilled.

           WNC & Associates, Inc. believes that Series 9 is reasonably likely to
  retain its interest in the local limited partnership identified herein. However,
  Series 9 may not do so as a result of one or more factors. For example, Mendota
  I may fail to satisfy one or more conditions precedent to the investment of
  Series 9. Series 9 may fail to raise additional capital necessary to complete
  the purchase of the local limited partnership. Moreover, the terms of the
  acquisition may differ from those as described. In this regard, it is noted that
  Mendota I consists of three properties, as discussed above. However, the local
  general partner of Mendota I submitted four properties within the single limited
  partnership when requesting low income housing tax credits from the Illinois
  state allocating agency and when requesting mortgage funding from RD. Throughout
  negotiations, it was the intent of WNC & Associates, Inc. that each property
  would be held by a separate limited partnership, and that the fourth limited
  partnership/property would be acquired by an affiliate of WNC & Associates, Inc.
  Accordingly, the fourth property has been transferred to a second partnership.
  Nonetheless, Series 9 has entered into the Mendota I partnership agreement
  with the understanding that if either the Illinois state agency or RD refuses to
  permit a second limited partnership to hold the fourth property, then, subject
  to the considerations set forth at the beginning of this paragraph, such
  property will be acquired by Mendota I (and indirectly through its acquisition
  of an interest in Mendota I) by Series 9. The original decision to have Series 9
  acquire (indirectly) three of the four properties was based on WNC's
  underwriting and acquisition policies. See "Conflicts of Interest" in the
  Prospectus.

  1.   The local limited partnership will employ either its local general partner
       or an affiliate of its local general partner, or a third party, as a
       property manager for leasing and management of the apartment complex. The
       fee payable generally is determined pursuant to market conditions.
  
  2.   The local limited partnership will pay its local general partner or an
       affiliate of its local general partner fees for various services, including
       organization, development, land acquisition, syndication, and the like.
  
  3.   Reflects the amount of the net cash flow from operations, if any, to be
       distributed to Series 9 and the local general partner for each year of
       operations. Net cash flow generally is equal to the excess of revenues over
       expenses, including the property manager's fee.
  
  4.   Subject to certain special allocations, reflects the respective percentage
       interests in profits, losses and low income housing tax credits of
       (i) Series 9, (ii) WNC Housing, L.P., an affiliate of WNC & Associates,
       Inc. which is the special limited partner, and (iii) the local general
       partner.
  
  5.   Reflects the percentage interests in any net cash proceeds from sale or
       refinancing of the apartment complex of (i) Series 9, and (ii) the local
       general partner. Net cash proceeds from sale or refinancing of the
       apartment complex is equal to the sale proceeds less payment of the
       mortgage loan and other local limited partnership obligations.
  
  6.   Series 9 normally will make its capital contributions in stages, with each
       contribution due when certain conditions regarding construction or
       operations of the apartment complex have been fulfilled.
  2
  WNC & Associates, Inc. believes that Series 9 is reasonably likely to
  retain its interest in the local limited partnership identified herein. However,
  Series 9 may not do so as a result of one or more factors. For example, Mendota
  I may fail to satisfy one or more conditions precedent to the investment of
  Series 9. Series 9 may fail to raise additional capital necessary to complete
  the purchase of the local limited partnership. Moreover, the terms of the
  acquisition may differ from those as described. In this regard, it is noted that
  Mendota I consists of three properties, as discussed above. However, the local
  general partner of Mendota I submitted four properties within the single limited
  partnership when requesting low income housing tax credits from the Illinois
  state allocating agency and when requesting mortgage funding from RD. Throughout
  negotiations, it was the intent of WNC & Associates, Inc. that each property
  would be held by a separate limited partnership, and that the fourth limited
  partnership/property would be acquired by an affiliate of WNC & Associates, Inc.
  Accordingly, the fourth property has been transferred to a second partnership.
  Nonetheless, Series 9 has entered into the Mendota I partnership agreement
  with the understanding that if either the Illinois state agency or RD refuses to
  permit a second limited partnership to hold the fourth property, then, subject
  to the considerations set forth at the beginning of this paragraph, such
  property will be acquired by Mendota I (and indirectly through its acquisition
  of an interest in Mendota I) by Series 9. The original decision to have Series 9
  acquire (indirectly) three of the four properties was based on WNC's
  underwriting and acquisition policies. See "Conflicts of Interest" in the
  Prospectus.
