                  NATIONAL HOUSING PARTNERSHIP REALTY FUND IV
                        (A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         NATURE OF BUSINESS

         National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV (the "Partnership") is a
         limited partnership organized on January 8, 1986 under the laws of the
         State of Maryland under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited
         Partnership Act. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of raising
         capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests and then
         investing in limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships"), each
         of which owns and operates an existing rental housing project which is
         financed and/or operated with one or more forms of rental assistance
         or financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
         Development ("HUD").

         The General Partner raised capital for the Partnership by offering and
         selling to additional limited partners 15,414 investment units at a
         price of $1,000 per unit. The Partnership acquired limited partnership
         interests of 99% in four Local Limited Partnerships, each of which was
         organized to acquire and operate an existing rental housing project.
         In addition, the Partnership directly purchased Trinity Apartments, a
         conventionally financed rental apartment project.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all
         adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
         present a fair statement of the financial condition and results of
         operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are
         of a normal recurring nature.

         While the General Partner believes that the disclosures presented are
         adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that
         these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and the notes included in NHP Realty Fund IV's Annual
         Report filed in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


(2)      INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

         The Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest in four Local
         Limited Partnerships. In addition, the Partnership directly owns
         Trinity Apartments. Because the Partnership, as a limited partner,
         does not exercise control over the activities of the four Local
         Limited Partnerships in accordance with the partnership agreements,
         the investments in the Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for
         using the equity method. Thus, the investments (and the advances made
         to the Local Limited Partnerships as discussed below) are carried at
         cost

         less the Partnership's share of the Local Limited Partnerships' losses
         and distributions. However, because the Partnership is not legally
         liable for the obligations of the Local Limited Partnerships, and is
         not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them, it does
         not recognize losses once its investment, reduced for its share of
         losses and cash distributions, reaches zero in each of the individual
         Local Limited Partnerships. As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
         investments in all four Local Limited Partnerships had been reduced to
         zero. As a result, the Partnership did not recognize $458,725 and
         $359,352 of losses from Local Limited Partnerships during the three
         months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of March 31,
         1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership had not recognized
         $6,709,639 and $6,250,914, respectively, of its allocated share of
         cumulative losses from the Local Limited Partnerships in which its
         investment is zero.

         Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Limited
         Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership's investment in
         Local Limited Partnerships. When advances are made, they are charged
         to operations as a loss on investment in the Local Limited Partnership
         using previously unrecognized cumulative losses. As discussed above,
         due to the cumulative losses incurred by the Local Limited
         Partnerships, the aggregate balance of investments in and advances to
         the Local Limited Partnerships has been reduced to zero at March 31,
         1996 and December 31, 1995. To the extent these advances are repaid by
         the Local Limited Partnerships in the future, the repayments will be
         credited as distributions and repayments received in excess of
         investments in Local Limited Partnerships. These advances are carried
         as a payable to the Partnership by the Local Limited Partnerships.

         No working capital advances or repayments occurred between the
         Partnership and the Local Limited Partnerships during the three months
         ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The combined amount carried as payable
         to the Partnership by the Local Limited Partnerships was $12,400 as of
         March 31, 1996.

         The following are combined statements of operations for the three
         months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of the Local
         Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. The
         statements are compiled from financial statements of the Local Limited
         Partnerships, prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, as supplied
         by the management agents of the projects, and are unaudited.

(3)      TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES OF THE GENERAL
         PARTNER

         During the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the
         Partnership accrued administrative and reporting fees payable to the
         General Partner in the amount of $28,901 for services provided to the
         Partnership. The Partnership has not made any payments to the General
         Partner for these fees during the three months ended March 31, 1996
         and 1995. The amount due the General Partner by the Partnership was
         $1,020,059 and $991,158 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
         respectively.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the General Partner made
         a payment on behalf of Trinity Apartments to General Electric Capital
         Corporation (GECC) of $667,201 as a condition of a new mortgage
         modification agreement, effective March 15, 1996. In addition, the
         General Partner paid entity expenses of $1,509 on behalf of Trinity
         Apartments. During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the General
         Partner made working capital advances of $15,714 to the Partnership.
         No repayments of working capital advances were made during the three
         months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The amount

         owed to the General Partner at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
         was $1,917,111 and $1,248,401, respectively. Interest is charged on
         borrowings at the Chase Manhattan Bank rate of prime plus 2%. Accrued
         interest on this loan amounted to $1,250,679 and $1,183,574 at March
         31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The advances will be
         repaid as cash flow permits or from the sale or refinancing of the
         Local Limited Partnerships.

         Annual partnership administrative fees of $1,875 were accrued on
         behalf of Trinity Apartments during the three months ended March 31,
         1996 and 1995. These fees are payable to the General Partner without
         interest from cash available for distribution to partners. No payments
         were made during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The
         balance owed to the General Partner for these fees was $9,375 and
         $7,500 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and is
         included in Due to General Partner.

         The advances and accrued administrative and reporting fees payable to
         the General Partner will be paid as cash flow permits or from proceeds
         generated from the sale or refinancing of one or more of the
         underlying properties of the Local Limited Partnerships.

ITEM 2 -   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        (A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The properties in which the Partnership has invested, through its investments
in the Local Limited Partnerships, receive one or more forms of assistance from
Federal, state or local governments or agencies. As a result, the Local Limited
Partnerships' ability to transfer funds either to the Partnership or among
themselves in the form of cash distributions, loans or advances is generally
restricted by these government-assistance programs. These restrictions,
however, are not expected to impact the Partnership's ability to meet its cash
obligations.

Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$360,178 as compared to $459,451 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The
decrease to cash used in operations resulted primarily from a decrease in
operating expenses paid and an increase in rent collections.

No working capital advances or repayments occurred between the Partnership and
the Local Limited Partnerships during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995. The combined amount carried as due to the Partnership by the Local
Limited Partnerships was $12,400 as of March 31, 1996. Future advances made
will be charged to operations; likewise, future repayments will be credited to
operations.

Distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships represent the
Partnership's proportionate share of the excess cash available for distribution
from the Local Limited Partnerships. As a result of the use of the equity
method of accounting for the Partnership's investments, as of March 31, 1996,
investments in all four Local Limited Partnerships had been reduced to zero.
For these investments, cash distributions received are recorded as
distributions received in excess of investment in Local Limited Partnerships.
There were no distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995. The receipt of distributions in future quarters is dependent upon the
operations of the underlying properties of the Local Limited Partnerships.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $44,082 at March 31, 1996. The ability of
the Partnership to meet its on-going cash requirements, in excess of cash on
hand at March 31, 1996, is dependent on operations of Trinity Apartments,
distributions received from the Local Limited Partnerships, and proceeds from
the sales or refinancing of the underlying Properties. As of March 31, 1996,
the Partnership owes the General Partner $1,020,059 for administrative and
reporting services performed. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the
General Partner made a payment on behalf of Trinity Apartments of $667,201 as a
condition of a new mortgage modification agreement effective March 15, 1996. As
of March 31, 1996, the Partnership owes the General Partner

$1,926,486 plus accrued interest of $1,250,679. The payment of the unpaid
administrative and reporting fees and advances from the Partnership and NHP to
the Local Limited Partnerships will most likely result from the sale or
refinancing of the underlying Properties of the Local Limited Partnerships as
defined by the Partnership agreement, rather than through recurring operations.
The General Partner will continue to manage the Partnership's assets prudently
in an effort to achieve positive cash flow. NHP will evaluate lending the
Partnership additional funds as such funds are needed, but is in no way legally
obligated to make such loans.

The Modification Agreement, effective March 15, 1996, is for a mortgage
principal balance of $13,140,000. The reduction of principal of $560,000 plus
closing costs of $107,201 were loaned to the Partnership by an affiliate of
NHP. Interest only, at the Contract Index Rate, on the mortgage is payable
monthly beginning April 1, 1996 through March 1, 1999. In addition, beginning
April 1, 1996 and continuing each July, October, December and April,
installments of principal in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash flow (as
defined) is due and payable. On March 15, 1999, the entire unpaid principal and
interest is due and payable. The Contract Index Rate is equal to 3.25% per
annum in excess of the GECC Composite Commercial Paper Rate.

Except for Trinity, all the properties in which the Partnership has invested
carry deferred acquisition notes due to the original owners of the properties.
In the event of a default on these notes, the noteholders would assume
ownership of the General Partner's and the Partnership's interests in the Local
Limited Partnerships. Due to the rental market conditions where the properties
are located, the General Partner believes the amounts due on the acquisition
notes may exceed the value to be obtained by sale or refinancing opportunities.
The deferred acquisition notes mature in 2001.

In prior years, Trinity Apartments, a rental property wholly-owned by the
Partnership, has generated substantial losses from operations which have
resulted in the accumulation of significant accounts payable and accrued
expenses at March 31, 1996, and has also necessitated significant funding from
the General Partner in prior years. The General Partner's intentions are to
continue to manage Trinity prudently so that the property can maintain positive
cash flows and pay its general obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in four Local Limited
Partnerships which operate four rental housing properties.  In addition, the
Partnership directly owns Trinity Apartments. Results of operations are
significantly impacted by the losses on rental operations of Trinity
Apartments, and in prior years, by the Partnership's share of the losses of the
Local Limited

Partnerships. These losses included depreciation and accrued deferred
acquisition note interest expense which are noncash in nature.  Because the
investments in and advances to Local Limited Partnerships have been reduced to
zero, the Partnership's share of the operations of the Local Limited
Partnerships is no longer being recorded.

The Partnership's net loss decreased to $175,103 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from a net loss of $263,370 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. Net loss per unit of limited partnership interest decreased from $17 to
$11 for the 15,414 units outstanding throughout both periods. The primary
reasons for the decrease in net loss is the decrease in loss from rental
operations at Trinity Apartments, which was primarily due to an increase in
rental income and a decrease in real estate tax expense. The Partnership did
not recognize $458,725 of its allocated share of losses from the four Local
Limited Partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as the
Partnership's net carrying basis in these Local Limited Partnerships was
reduced to zero prior years. The Partnership's share of losses from the Local
Limited Partnerships, if not limited to its investment account balance, would
have increased $99,373 between periods, primarily due to a increase in
operating expenses.
