Notes to Exhibit B:

*Amounts invested in Heartland Properties Equity Investment Fund I were invested
pursuant to Alliant Energy  Corporation et al.,  Holding Company Act Release No.
27198 (July 10, 2000) (supplemental order).

** Amounts invested in Heartland Properties Equity Investment Fund VII, LLC were
invested  in an entity  owned in part  prior to the  three-way  merger  creating
Alliant Energy Energy Corporation.

The  cumulative  amount  of  investment  made  by HPI in  the  LIHTC  properties
authorized  in  the  SEC's  Order  dated  August  13,  1999  as  amended  by the
Supplemental  Order dated dated July 19, 2002 is  $32,502,447  leaving a balance
available for investment of $92,497,553.

On November 22, 2002 Alliant Energy Corporation  (Heartland Properties' ultimate
parent)  reported  on a  Current  Report  on Form  8-K  that as part of  Alliant
Energy's  effort to narrow the number of business  platforms  and focus on core,
utility-related businesses it would pursue the sale of, or other exit strategies
for a number of  non-regulated  businesses,  including  the  affordable  housing
business conducted by Heartland Properties.  As a result,  remaining investments
are limited to those having commitments outstanding prior to this date.
