                              A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $374,479
which will be used for working capital requirements of the Partnership and its
properties. It is anticipated that the Partnership will be able to meet current
obligations and commitments from cash on hand and from cash generated from
operations during 1996.

Distributions to partners were not made during the first half of 1996. Future
cash distributions will depend on future property operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The General Partner, after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material
factors relating to any of the Partnership's properties or the operations of the
Partnership that would cause the financial information of the Partnership not to
be indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditions.

Net rental income of the properties was $856,767 and $847,948 and for the second
quarter of 1996 and 1995 respectively. This is an increase of $8,819 or 1%.
Operating expenses were $525,660 and $460,205 for the second quarter of 1996 and
1995 respectively. This is an increase in operating expenses of $65,455
attributable primarily to increases in replacement of carpet and appliances. The
combination of increased revenue and a greater increase in expenses resulted in
a loss from operations of $73,928 for the second quarter of 1996 as compared to
a net loss of $26,924 for the second quarter of 1995. Overall, operations of the
Partnership and its properties resulted in negative cash flow for the second
quarter of $49,136 compared to a positive cash flow of $207,601 during the
second quarter of 1995.

Ravenwood Apartments is currently being marketed for sale. A contract for the
sale of the property was executed on July 1, 1996. The agreement for the sale is
contingent upon the satisfactory inspection and acceptance of the property at
the sole discretion of the buyer.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

                     On September 20, 1995 Everest Investors, LLC ("Everest")
              filed a lawsuit in Hennepin County Minnesota's Fourth Judicial
              District Court against Griffin Associates IV ("General Partner"),
              the general partner of Griffin Real Estate Fund-IV, A Limited
              Partnership ("Partnership"). The lawsuit alleged that the General
              Partner had wrongfully denied Everest access to the books and
              records of the Partnership. The court granted, in part, Everest's
              request for access to the books and records and ordered the
              General Partner to provide Everest access to these records. The
              General Partner complied with this court order. Everest continued
              to seek access to additional books and records of the Partnership
              beyond the scope of the court order. The General Partner
              vigorously defended the Partnership's right to keep its
              proprietary records from being reviewed by Everest, who has not
              been admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership despite
              having been assigned a financial interest in 649 units by some
              original limited partners. The General Partner filed for a
              dismissal of the matter. The court heard arguments on September
              29, 1995, October 26, 1995 and November 17, 1995. On November 27,
              1995 the court dismissed Everest's lawsuit. Everest appealed the
              dismissal in the Minnesota Court of Appeals on March 12, 1996.
              Briefs were filed and oral arguments were heard by the court on
              July 1, 1996. A decision is pending.

              Also, as of June 30, 1996, an individual was pursuing a legal
              action against the Partnership for injuries sustained in a fall.
              The individual is attempting to recover monetary damages and to
              receive reimbursement for medical costs. Any judgement against the
              Partnership would be covered by insurance.
