NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL
The information contained in the following notes to the financial
statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual audited
financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements included herein
should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes thereto contained in the annual report for the year ended December
31, 1999 filed by Real Estate Associates Limited IV (the "Partnership").
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater
reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the
interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the entire year.
In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of March 31, 2000 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows
for the three months then ended.
The general partners have a 1 percent interest in profits and losses of the
Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent interest
which is allocated in proportion to their respective individual
investments. National Partnership Investments Corp. (NAPICO) is the
corporate general partner of the Partnership. Casden Properties Inc. owns a
95.25% economic interest in NAPICO, with the balance owned by Casden
Investment Corporation ("CIC"). CIC, which is wholly owned by Alan I.
Casden, owns 95% of the voting common stock of NAPICO.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
METHOD ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity
method. Acquisition and selection fees and other costs related to the
acquisition of the projects have been capitalized as part of the investment
account and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated
lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.
NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
Net income per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
limited partners' share of net income by the number of limited partnership
interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited partnership
interests was 13,202 for the periods presented.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of deposit
with an original maturity of three months or less. The Partnership has its
cash and cash equivalents on deposit primarily with two high credit quality
financial institutions. Such cash and cash equivalents are in excess of the
FDIC insurance limit.
INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the individual
partners.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been
any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If
the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership holds limited partnership interests
in 7 limited partnerships In addition, the Partnership holds a general
partner interest in Real Estate Associates II ("REA II"), which in turn
holds limited partner interests in 2 additional limited partnerships.
NAPICO is also a general partner in REA II. In total, therefore, the
Partnerships hold interests, either directly or indirectly through REA II,
in 9 partnerships which owned as of March 31, 2000, residential low income
rental projects consisting of 641 apartment units. The mortgage loans of
these projects are payable to or insured by various governmental agencies.
The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to between 95 percent
and 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships it has
invested in directly. The Partnership is also entitled to 99.9 percent of
the profits and losses of REA II. REA II is entitled to a 99 percent
interest in each of the limited partnerships in which it has invested.
Equity in loss of the limited partnerships is recognized until the
investment balance is reduced to zero. Losses incurred after the limited
partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized.
Distributions from the limited partnerships are accounted for as a return
of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero or to a negative
amount equal to further capital contributions required. Subsequent
distributions received are recognized as income.

=========== ===========
NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner and property
management agent for certain of the limited partnerships included above.
Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the
Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the
existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such
new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed
HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market
rentals, which was generally the case under existing HAP Contracts. The
payments under the renewed HAP Contracts are not expected to be in an
amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of
properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements
of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD
("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address
the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new
policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of
1997 ( "MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the
restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to
properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured
mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be
amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan
payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage
loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service
payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to
result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured
loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out
project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located
in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a
tenant-based subsidy.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
On September 11, 1998, HUD issued interim regulations implementing MAHRAA
and final regulations are expected to be issued in 2000.
When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance
that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an
investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under
MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the
combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the
restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is
uncertain.
On December 30, 1998, after obtaining the consents of the limited partners,
the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 20 local limited
partnerships to affiliates of Casden Properties Inc. The sale resulted in
cash proceeds to the Partnership of $5,860,300, which was collected in
1999. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash distributions of $7,781,697
to the limited partners and $78,603 to the general partners, which included
using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests.
NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEE AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER
Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partners, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management
fee equal to .4 percent of the invested assets of the limited partnerships.
Invested assets are defined as the costs of acquiring project interests,
including the proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the
Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of the respective
partnerships. The fee was approximately $28,000 and $35,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement
paid to NAPICO was approximately $3,300 and $3,200 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and is included in
administrative expenses.
NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES
On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of
limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner) and
two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited partnership
interest in Real Estate Associates Limited VI (another affiliated
partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner) commenced an
action in the United States District Court for the Central District of
California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated
entities. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their
fiduciary duty to the limited partners of certain NAPICO managed
partnerships and made materially false and misleading statements in the
consent solicitation statements sent to the limited partners of such
partnerships relating to approval of the transfer of partnership interests
in limited partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to affiliates of
Casden Properties Inc., organized by an affiliate of NAPICO. The plaintiffs
seek equitable relief,

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
as well as compensatory damages and litigation related costs. On August 4,
1999, one investor holding one unit of limited partnership interest in
Housing Programs Limited (another affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is
the managing general partner) commenced a virtually identical action in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California against
the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The managing
general partner of such NAPICO managed partnerships and the other
defendants believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intend
to contest the actions vigorously.
The corporate general partner of the Partnership is involved in various
lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the claims
will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.
NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments. The carrying amount of other
assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income earned
from investing available cash and distributions from limited partnerships
in which the Partnership has invested. It is not expected that any of the
local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will
generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to limited
partners in any material amount. The Partnership made a distributions to
investors in March 12, 1999, previously using proceeds from the disposition
of its investments in certain limited partnerships.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Partnership revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on
certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not
required for investment in local partnerships.
Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and
administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to the
Partnership. In addition, an annual Partnership management fee in an amount
equal to .5 percent of investment assets is payable to the corporate
general partner.
The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited
partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance
by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local limited
partnerships. Losses incurred after the limited partnership investment
balance is reduced to zero are not recognized.
Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return
of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a
negative amount equal to future capital contributions required. Subsequent
distributions received are recognized as income.
Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds, the
Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other limited
partnerships owning government assisted projects. Available cash not
invested in Limited Partnerships is invested in these funds earning
interest income as reflected in the statements of operations. These money
market funds and certificates of deposit can be converted to cash to meet
obligations as they arise. The Partnership intends to continue investing
available funds in this manner.
Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the
Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the
existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such
new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed
HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market
rentals, which was generally the case under existing HAP Contracts. The

Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (

On September 11, 1998, HUD issued interim regulations implementing MAHRAA

When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance
