          Note 1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                    -------------------------------
          In the  opinion of Rancon  Financial Corporation  and Daniel  Lee
          Stephenson  (the   Sponsors)   and  Glenborough   Inland   Realty
          Corporation,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements
          contain  all adjustments  (consisting  of only  normal  accruals)
          necessary to  present fairly  the  financial position  of  Rancon
          Realty   Fund   IV,  A   California   Limited  Partnership   (the
          Partnership) as of June  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  and the
          related statements  of operations  for the  three and  six months
          ended June 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995, and changes in  partners'
          equity and cash flows for the  six months ended June 30, 1996 and
          April 30, 1995.

          Effective   with  the   year  ending   December  31,   1996,  the
          Partnership's  year  end  has  been changed  from  October  31 to
          December 31.

          Effective January 1, 1994 the Partnership had contracted with RFC
          to perform on the Partnership's behalf for financial, accounting,
          data processing, marketing, legal,  investor relations, asset and
          development management and  consulting services.   These services
          were provided by RFC subject to the provisions of the Partnership
          Agreement.    Prior  to  January  1,  1994  the  Partnership  had
          contracted  with   Partnership   Asset  Management   Company,   a
          California corporation, to perform the same services.   Effective
          January 1, 1994, RFC entered into an agreement with the  owner of
          Partnership  Asset  Management Company  to  purchase  all of  its
          outstanding  shares  of  stock.    Partnership  Asset  Management
          Company  was not considered to be an affiliate of the Partnership
          or RFC, at the time of the purchase.

          In December 1994, RFC entered  into an agreement with Glenborough
          Inland  Realty  Corporation  (Glenborough)  whereby  RFC  sold to
          Glenborough   the   contract   to    perform   the   rights   and
          responsibilities under RFC's  agreement with the  Partnership and
          other    related    Partnerships   (collectively,    the   Rancon
          Partnerships) to perform or contract on the Partnership's  behalf
          for  financial, accounting,  data  processing, marketing,  legal,
          investor   relations,  asset   and  development   management  and
          consulting services for the Partnership for a period of ten years
          or to the liquidation of  the Partnership, whichever comes first.
          Pursuant to the  contract, the Partnership  will pay  Glenborough
          for its services as follows: (i) a specified asset administration
          fee of $993,000 per year,  which is fixed for five  years subject
          to reduction in the year following the sale of assets; (ii) sales
          fees  of 2%  for improved  properties and  4% for  land; (iii)  a
          refinancing fee  of 1% and (iv)  a management fee of  5% of gross

                           A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                    June 30, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)

          rental  receipts.  As part of this agreement, Glenborough has and
          will  perform certain tasks for the General Partner of the Rancon
          Partnerships and RFC agreed to cooperate with Glenborough, should
          Glenborough  attempt to  obtain a  majority  vote of  the limited
          partners  to  substitute itself  as  the Sponsor  for  the Rancon
          Partnerships.   This agreement  was  effective January  1,  1995.
          Glenborough is not an affiliate of RFC.

          As  a result  of this  agreement, RFC  terminated several  of its
          employees  between December 31, 1994 and February 28, 1995.  Also
          as  a result of  this agreement, certain  of the officers  of RFC
          resigned from  their positions effective February  28, 1995, June
          30, 1995 and July 1, 1995.

          Organization - In  order to satisfy  certain lender  requirements
          for  the  Partnership's new  loan  secured  by Carnegie  Business
          Center  I, Service  Retail Center  and Promotional  Retail Center
          (see Note 5), Rancon Realty Fund IV Tri City Limited Partnership,
          a  Delaware limited partnership ("RRF IV Tri City") was formed in
          April,  1996.    The  three  properties securing  the  loan  were
          contributed  to RRF IV Tri  City by the  Partnership. The limited
          partner of RRF  IV Tri-City  is the Partnership  and the  general
          partner  is  Rancon Realty  Fund IV,  Inc.,  wholly owned  by the
          Partnership.

          Since  the Partnership indirectly owns  100% of RRF  IV Tri City,
          the  financial   statements  of  RRF   IV  Tri  City   have  been
          consolidated with those of the Partnership.

          Reclassification - Certain  1995 balances have been  reclassified
          to conform with the current period presentation.

          Note 2.  REFERENCE TO 1995 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ----------------------------------------------
          These   unaudited  financial   statements  should   be  read   in
          conjunction with the  Notes to Financial  Statements included  in
          the 1995 audited financial statements.

          Note 3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
                   --------------------------
          The Partnership had  an agreement with  the Sponsor for  property
          management  services through  December 31,  1994.   The agreement
          provided  for a  management  fee equal  to  5% of  gross  rentals
          collected  while managing  the properties.   Fees  incurred under
          this agreement totaled $61,000 for the six months ended April 30,
          1995.  Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership contracted with
          Glenborough  to provide  these services  to the  Partnership (see
          Note 1).

                           A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                    June 30, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)

          The Partnership incurred $4,000 in program management fees to the
          Sponsor during the six  months ended April 30, 1995.  The Sponsor
          received this  fee  for  its  management  and  administration  of
          unimproved  or non-income producing  properties.  As  a result of
          the agreement with Glenborough (see Note 1), effective January 1,
          1995,  this  fee  is no  longer  payable  to  the Sponsor  or  to
          Glenborough. 

          The Partnership Agreement also provides for the reimbursement  of
          actual  costs  incurred  by  the  Sponsor  in  providing  certain
          administrative, legal and development services necessary  for the
          prudent operation of the Partnership.  Effective January 1, 1995,
          such services are  being provided by Glenborough as  described in
          Note 1.

          As a result of the agreement between the RFC and Glenborough (see
          Note  1),  RFC terminated  approximately  82  employees who  were
          previously responsible  for performing the  administrative, legal
          and development  services to the Partnership.   Upon termination,
          certain   employee  costs   including  severance   benefits  were
          allocated  to  the  various  Rancon  partnerships.    Such  costs
          allocated to the Partnership aggregated $200,000 and are included
          in administrative costs for the six months ended April 30, 1995.

          The  remainder   of  the  reimbursable  costs   incurred  by  the
          Partnership totaled  $104,000 for the six months  ended April 30,
          1995.  Of the costs incurred, $43,000 was capitalized.

          Note 4.  INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE
                   -------------------------
          In the  second  quarter  of  1996,  construction  was  officially
          completed  on the Inland Regional  Center ("IRC") project and the
          tenant commenced its 13-year  lease.  As a result,  $7,791,000 of
          the IRC  construction cost was reclassified  from construction in
          progress to rental property.

          During the  first  quarter  of  1996,  the  Partnership  received
          letters  of intent  to sign  leases on  two single  tenant retail
          buildings  to be constructed on 3.19  acres of Tri-City Corporate
          Center in San Bernardino, California.  The Partnership  commenced
          construction  on  the   3.19  acres  in   1996  and   accordingly
          reclassified  $990,000   from  land   held  for   development  to
          construction in progress.  In addition, the Partnership  incurred
          $16,000 in construction  costs during the  six months ended  June
          30, 1996.

          On March 26, 1996, 1.3 acres  of land in Temecula, California was
          sold  for  $275,000.   This parcel  of  land had  previously been

                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                    June 30, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)

          classified as land  held for  sale.  The  Partnership's net  sale
          proceeds, after allocating $165,000 for future site improvements,
          was  $84,000.  The net  proceeds were added  to the Partnership's
          cash  reserves and will be  used to complete  improvements on the
          remaining lots, which  are expected to  greatly assist  marketing
          efforts  for the property.   Since a provision  for impairment of
          investment  in real estate was established in 1995, this sale did
          not result in a gain or loss on the transaction.

          Note. 5.  NOTES PAYABLE
                    -------------
          On  April  19,  1996,  the  Partnership  obtained  new  permanent
          financing  of $6,500,000, secured  by real estate  referred to as
          Carnegie Business Center I, Service Retail Center and Promotional
          Retail Center.  After disbursing $6,035,000 for the payoff of the
          existing Far East National Bank, Chino Valley  Bank, and Imperial
          Bank  loans, as well as the payment of loan fees, the Partnership
          received  approximately $465,000 in  refinancing proceeds, net of
          $150,000  held in  reserve  for final  tenant  improvements on  a
          portion  of  Promotional Retail  Center.   The net  proceeds were
          added  to  the  Partnership's  cash  reserves  for  future   site
          improvements.

          The new  loan  is  a  10-year  fixed rate  loan  with  a  25-year
          amortization  and matures  on  May 1,  2006.   The  loan  accrues
          interest at a rate of 8.744% per annum  with $53,413 in principal
          and interest payments due monthly, commencing June 1, 1996.

          On  May 14, 1996, the  Partnership closed escrow  on a $2,500,000
          construction  loan from  Citizens Business  Bank, secured  by the
          Inland  Regional Center  building.   Through  June 30,  1996, the
          Partnership had drawn $652,000 of the total $2,500,000  available
          for the completion of the Inland Regional Center construction.

          The  loan is  a five  year fixed  rate loan  due April  23, 2001,
          accruing  interest at  the  rate of  8.75%  per annum.    Monthly
          payments of interest only are due for three months commencing May
          23,  1996.  Beginning August  23, 1996, $20,771  in principal and
          interest payments will be due monthly.

                    Conditions and Results of Operations.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          -------------------------------
          As of July,  1987, Rancon  Realty Fund IV  (the Partnership)  was
          fully  funded from the sale  of all limited  partnership units in
          the amount  of  $72,556,000  (net  of  selling  and  organization
          expenses).   As of  June 30,  1996, the Partnership  had cash  of
          $917,000 (the Partnership  Agreement requires the Partnership  to
          maintain  initial working capital reserves of  1 percent of gross
          proceeds from the sale of  Units or $809,000).  The remainder  of
          the Partnership's assets consist primarily of its investments  in
          properties, which  totaled approximately $49,162,000  at June 30,
          1996.

          The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of  funds  consist  of  the
          proceeds of its public offering of limited partnership units, new
          financing  and  cash provided  by its  rental activities.   Other
          sources of funds include,  construction financing, property sales
          and interest income on certificates of deposit and other deposits
          of  funds   invested  temporarily,  pending  their   use  in  the
          development of properties.  

          A  majority of  the Partnership's assets  are located  within the
          Inland Empire submarket of  the Southern California region.   The
          Southern  California regional  economy in  general, and  the real
          estate  industry  in  particular,  is  considered   to  be  in  a
          recessionary cycle.   The Partnership may  realize both  positive
          and  negative  effects  from  these  current  market  conditions.
          Potential negative  effects include the delinquency  of lease and
          mortgage  payments owed  to  the Partnership  and  a decrease  in
          competitive market lease rates and land prices,  and an inability
          to obtain  financing  for  further  property  development.    The
          Partnership may  benefit from the current  economic and financing
          conditions due  to the  general lack  of new  competitive product
          being  constructed, potentially  causing  greater  absorption  of
          existing inventory.

          Other  assets increased  29% or  $356,000 at  June 30,  1996 from
          December 31, 1995 largely as a result of: i) the $165,000 held in
          escrow  for further site  improvements from  the March,  1996 1.3
          acre  land sale in Temecula, California; ii) the $150,000 held in
          escrow for  future  tenant  improvements  from  the  April,  1996
          $6,500,000 financing described below; and iii) the loan fees paid
          in connection  with the $6,500,000 financing,  netted against the
          retirement of  unamortized loan fees  related to  the loans  paid
          off.

          Accounts  payable and  other liabilities  increased approximately
          four and one-half times  or $1,274,000 from December 31,  1995 to
          June  30, 1996  due  to an  outstanding  invoice related  to  the
          construction  of  IRC.    Once  funding  was  received  from  the
          construction  loan  (described  below)  in  July,  1996,  77%  or
          $986,000 of this  balance was  immediately paid.   The  remaining



                                    Page 10 of 15






          balance primarily represents normal payables and accrued expenses
          (including property taxes).

          With the signing of  a 13-year lease with Inland  Regional Center
          and  the completion of construction of the 81,000 square foot IRC
          building, the Partnership now has six operating properties within
          the  Tri-City   Corporate  Center  project   in  San  Bernardino,
          California (Tri-City)  with approximately 373,000  total leasable
          square feet.

          On April 19, 1996, the Partnership borrowed $6,500,000  under new
          permanent financing.  The loan is a 10-year  fixed rate loan with
          a 25-year amortization, bearing interest at 8.744% per annum with
          monthly principal  and interest  payments of  $53,413.   The loan
          proceeds  were used to payoff three existing loans.  After paying
          refinancing  and  other fees,  and  placing funds  in  escrow for
          tenant  improvements  for  the  Promotional  Retail  Center,  the
          Partnership  netted  approximately  $465,000  in  proceeds.    In
          addition  to the financing  proceeds, the  Partnership benefitted
          from  the extension of the weighted average maturity of the three
          existing loans from 1.75 years  to 10 years on the new  loan, and
          the reduction of the weighted average interest rate from 9.72% to
          8.74%.

          On  May 14, 1996, the  Partnership closed escrow  on a $2,500,000
          construction  loan,  secured  by the  IRC  building.    This loan
          requires  monthly interest only payments  at a rate  of 8.75% per
          annum  through July 23, 1996  at which time  $20,771 in principal
          and  interest  payments  commence  through  its  April  23,  2001
          maturity.   Through June 30, 1996, the Partnership had drawn only
          $625,000 of the total $2,500,000 available.

          Offsite  improvements remain on  hold at Lake  Elsinore Square in
          Lake Elsinore, California pending recovery of the housing market.
          The tentative parcel map has been approved and the final  map was
          being  processed  when   further  activity  was   put  on   hold.
          Subsequently, the tentative parcel map expired.

          There has been  no development  of the Perris  property to  date.
          The property continues to be marketed for sale by the Partnership
          to retail users and interested developers.

          The 12.4  acre property in Temecula, California  has been divided
          into 12  separate parcels  via a  parcel  map approved  December,
          1995.  Final map approval was received January 2, 1996.  In March
          1996, the Partnership  executed the  sale of a  1.3 acre  parcel.
          The  Partnership's net sale  proceeds, after  allocating $165,000
          for future  site improvements,  was $84,000.   The proceeds  from
          this  sale will be used to complete improvements on the remaining
          lots,  which  should greatly  assist  marketing  efforts of  such
          property.

          Portions  of the  property at  Tri-City sold during  fiscal 1989,
          1991 and 1993 included lots 8 and 9, the Chili's and TGI Friday's
          restaurants  and a 1.5 acre  fire station site.   The Partnership
          continues to hold  a note  receivable in the  amount of  $405,000


                                    Page 11 of 15






          related  to the  sale  of  the  TGI  Friday's  restaurant.    The
          Partnership  does  not anticipate  the  sale  of any  significant
          portion  of the balance of the Tri-City property (except the Land
          fill) until after  the completion of development of such property
          or the liquidation of  the Partnership.  Any cash  generated from
          property  sales  may  be  utilized in  the  development  of other
          properties or distributed to the partners.  The General  Partners
          continue to  assess the real estate market in Southern California
          in an effort to determine  an appropriate time to dispose  of the
          Partnership's assets.

          Aside  from the foregoing,  the Partnership knows  of no demands,
          commitments,  events, or  uncertainties  which  might affect  its
          liquidity  or capital  resources in  any material  respect.   The
          effect  of inflation on  the Partnership's business  should be no
          greater than its effect on the economy as a whole.

          Management  believes that  the Partnership's  cash balance  as of
          June   30,  1996,   together  with   cash  from   operations  and
          construction loan financing,  will be sufficient  to finance  the
          Partnership's  and  the  properties'  continued   operations  and
          development plans.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------
          The  Partnership's year end has  been changed from  October 31 to
          December  31.    Since  the  Partnership's  operations  are   not
          seasonal, comparisons will reflect the three and six months ended
          June 30,  1996 versus the  three and six  months ended  April 30,
          1995.

          Rental income:
          Rental income  for the three and  six months ended June  30, 1996
          decreased $412,000 and $811,000 or 28% and 27% from the three and
          six  months ended  April 30,  1995, respectively, primarily  as a
          result of the November, 1995 vacancy upon lease expiration of one
          tenant,  Aetna  Health  Management  ("Aetna"),  who  occupied  an
          aggregate of 74,000 square  feet of space at One  Vanderbilt, Two
          Vanderbilt  and  Carnegie  Business  Center  I,  which  caused  a
          decrease  in average occupancy, as  further detailed in the table
          of  Tri-City properties  below. Aetna's  vacancy was  primarily a
          function of the tenant's desire to consolidate its various spaces
          into one building.

          Occupancy rates at  the Partnership's Tri-City  properties as  of
          June 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995 were as follows:

                                                    June 30,     April 30,
                                                      1996         1995
                                                    --------     --------
             One Vanderbilt                            59%          98%
             Two Vanderbilt                            25%          97%
             Service Retail Center                     97%          98%
             Carnegie Business Center I                87%          97%
             Promotional Retail Center-Phase I         97%          94%
             Inland Regional Center                   100%          ---
                 (commencing June, 1996)

                                    Page 12 of 15





          As of  June  30,  1996,  there  are  five  tenants  that  in  the
          aggregate, occupy approximately 178,000 square feet or 48% of the
          374,000 total leasable  square feet of  the Tri-City  properties.
          The Partnership  has  positioned itself  well in  respect to  the
          timing of lease  expirations, as these  five tenants have  leases
          that expire at various dates between 1997 and 2009.

          Management is currently in various stages of negotiations on five
          new leases totaling 38,000  square feet of space.   Management is
          also negotiating a  lease for a 38,000  square foot build-to-suit
          retail building on vacant land in Tri-City.

          Operating expenses (expenses applicable to rental income) for the
          three  and six months ended  June 30, 1996  decreased $63,000 and
          $184,000 or 11%  and 15%,  respectively, from the  three and  six
          months ended April 30, 1995 due primarily to: (i) lowered utility
          costs  and management  fees  associated with  decreased occupancy
          from April 30,  1995 to June 30, 1996, discussed  above; and (ii)
          net  property  tax refunds,  after appeal  fees,  as a  result of
          successful tax appeals.  

          Depreciation and  amortization for the three and six months ended
          June 30,  1996 increased $69,000 and  $13,000 or 19% and  2% from
          the  three  and six  months ended  April 30,  1995, respectively,
          primarily  as  a result  of the  full  amortization of  loan fees
          related to  the  loans that  were  paid-off upon  refinancing  in
          April, 1996.

          Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
          increased $139,000 and $235,000 or 78% and 68% from the three and
          six  months ended  April 30,  1995, respectively, primarily  as a
          result of  the new $6,500,000  financing discussed above  and the
          additional notes payable  obtained to facilitate  construction in
          1995 and 1996.

          Administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 1996
          decreased $148,000 or  18% from  the six months  ended April  30,
          1995.   This  decrease is  primarily the  result of  the one-time
          payment  of severance  to RFC's terminated  employees in  the six
          months ended April 30, 1995.
