Item 1.  Business

         National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV, a Maryland Limited
Partnership (the Partnership), was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act as of January 8, 1986. On January 15, 1986, the
Partnership commenced offering 35,000 limited partnership interests, at a price
of $1,000 per interest, through a public offering registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Offering). The Offering was managed by
Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. and was terminated on October 14, 1986, with
subscriptions for 15,414 limited partnership interests.

         The General Partner with a 1% interest in the Partnership is The
National Housing Partnership (NHP), a District of Columbia limited partnership,
whose sole general partner (0.2%) is National Corporation for Housing
Partnerships (NCHP). Following a corporate reorganization in August 1995, which
involved an initial public offering of NHP Incorporated's management-related
service companies (the "Reorganization"), the remaining 99.8% of NHP's limited
partnership interest is owned by NHP Partners Two Limited Partnership (Partners
Two), a Delaware limited partnership. NCHP is wholly owned by NHP Partners,
Inc. (Partners), a Delaware corporation. Notwithstanding the Reorganization,
control of NCHP, Partners Two and Partners remains with Demeter Holdings
Corporation (a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation, which is
wholly-owned/controlled by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a
Massachusetts educational corporation created by the constitution of
Massachusetts), Capricorn Investors, L.P. (a Delaware investment limited
partnership, whose general partner is Capricorn Holdings, G.P., a Delaware
general partnership), and J.  Roderick Heller, III (Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer of NCHP and Partners).

         The Original Limited Partner of the Partnership is 1133 Fifteenth
Street Four Associates, a Maryland limited partnership, whose general partner
is NHP and whose limited partners were key employees of NCHP at the time the
Partnership was formed. The Original Limited Partner holds a 1% Limited
Partnership interest in the Partnership.

         The remaining 98% limited partnership interests in the Partnership are
held by the investors who subscribed to the Offering.

         The Partnership's business is to own directly one multi-family housing
property, Trinity Apartments, and to hold limited partnership interests in four
limited partnerships (Local Limited Partnerships), which in turn, owns and
operates multi-family rental housing properties (Properties). With the
exception of Trinity Apartments, all of these Properties receive one or more
forms of assistance from the Federal Government.

         The Partnership acquired the interests in the four Local Limited
Partnerships from sellers who originally developed the Properties. The
Partnership directly purchased Trinity Apartments. With respect to the Local
Limited Partnerships, NHP is the general partner of each Local Limited
Partnership and the Partnership is the principal limited partner. As a limited
partner, the Partnership's liability for obligations of the Local Limited
Partnerships is limited to its investment, and the Partnership does not
exercise control over the activities of the Local Limited Partnerships in
accordance with the partnership agreements.

         The Partnership's investment objectives are:

         (1)     preserve and protect Partnership capital;

         (2)     provide current tax benefits to Limited Partners to the extent
                 permitted by law, including, but not limited to, deductions
                 that Limited Partners may use to offset otherwise taxable
                 income from other sources;

         (3)     provide capital appreciation through increase in value of the
                 Partnership's investments, subject to considerations of
                 capital preservation and tax planning; and





                                       2
<PAGE>   4
         (4)     provide potential cash distributions from sales or
                 refinancings of the Partnership's investments and, on a
                 limited basis, from operations.

         The Partnership does not have any employees. Services are performed
for the Partnership by the General Partner and agents retained by it.

         The following is a schedule of the Properties owned directly by the
Partnership or by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership is a
limited partner:

         Although each Local Limited Partnership in which the Partnership has
invested owns an apartment complex which must compete with other apartment
complexes for tenants, government mortgage interest and rent subsidies make it
possible to rent units to eligible tenants at below market rates. In general,
this insulates the Properties from market competition. Capital Park and Royal
Towers Section 8 subsidy contracts covering 127 and 88 units, respectively, are
scheduled to expire in June 1996. Additionally, Royal Towers has another
contract for 22 units scheduled to expire in September, 1996. In January 1996,
President Clinton signed into law H.R. 2880. This legislation includes a
provision that requires HUD to provide a one-year renewal for Section 8
contracts scheduled to expire during the first nine months of 1996. All other
Section 8 contracts are scheduled to expire between 1997 and 2008.

         Trinity Apartments (Trinity), which is wholly-owned by the
Partnership, is conventionally financed and is a market rate project which
receives no government assistance and must compete directly with other
apartment complexes in its rental market. The local economy and competitive
conditions in the Dallas area, historically, have adversely affected operations
at Trinity Apartments.

         The mortgage note payable (the Note) on Trinity was due June 30, 1995.
On March 15, 1996, a modification agreement to the loan agreement was signed
which, among other provisions, extends the due date to March 15, 1999.

         As discussed in Note 10 to the Partnership's financial statements,
during 1993 the Partnership determined that a write-down in the book value of
Trinity was necessary because the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from
operations and sale of the property is expected to be less than the net book
value of the property. This write-down was recorded as a loss on reduction of
carrying value of rental property.

         The General Partner has made substantial loans to the Partnership for
Trinity's operations. During 1994, Trinity generated surplus cash to pay NHP
$65,625 for administrative fees owed and $38,436 for accrued interest on
partner loans. No payments were made during 1995. Given the competitive nature
of the Dallas market, it is still uncertain as to whether the property will
continue to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the remaining loans and
interest to the General Partner. NHP posted a $200,000 letter of credit on
behalf of Trinity which is to be released after certain debt service coverage
ratios are met. This letter of credit expired in 1993 and was converted to a
cash escrow by NHP on behalf of Trinity.

         Royal Towers, which is located in Kansas City, Missouri, has a
significant amount of trade payables at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Royal
Towers' ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its maintaining
high occupancy levels and reducing its trade payables. Neither the General
Partner nor the Partnership is legally obligated to fund operations, nor does
the Partnership have sufficient reserves to fund operations at Royal Towers.
During 1994, Royal Towers sold the project's parking garage for $6,000
resulting in a net loss on the sale of $181,213. The loss is included in
expenses under loss on sale of parking garage in the statement of profit and
loss (see Note 14 to the Local Limited Partnerships' Combined Financial
Statements). HUD approved this partial release of collateral based on the
estimated high cost to repair or demolish the structure. The parking garage had
been closed for public safety since 1992. Additionally, Royal Towers has
entered into a grant agreement with HUD under the Drug Elimination Grant
Program to assist in the elimination of illegal drugs and the associated crime
at the property (Note 13 to the Local Limited Partnerships' Combined Financial
Statements). The grant agreement is dated July 7, 1994. During 1995, the
Partnership incurred $155,177 of costs under the Program of which $120,010 have
been capitalized in rental property. Drug Elimination Grant revenue of $155,177
is included in other revenue (Note 14 to the Local Limited Partnership's
Combined Financial Statements).

         In 1993, Capital Park was awarded a Drug Elimination Grant from HUD in
the amount of $175,000. The funds from the grant are to be used to implement
drug-free housing programs such as physical improvements related to security
and to reduce community vulnerability to drugs and drug activity. The
improvements include iron fencing and exterior lighting along with the
installation of surveillance cameras. During 1994, Capital Park incurred
$174,993 of costs under the program of which $385 are included in operating
expenses and $174,608 have been capitalized in rental property. Drug
Elimination Grant revenue of $174,993 is included in other revenue (Note 14 to
the Local Limited Partnerships' Combined Financial Statements). During 1993,
Kennedy Homes also applied for a Drug Elimination Grant but was unsuccessful in
obtaining that grant.

         Except for Trinity (as discussed in Note 7 to the Local Limited
Partnerships' Combined Financial Statements), 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 NHP'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.

         The following details the Partnership's ownership percentages of the
Local Limited Partnerships, the cost of acquisition of such ownership and the
cost of Trinity Apartments. All interests in the Local Limited Partnership's
are limited partner interests.  Also included is the total mortgage encumbrance
and deferred acquisition notes and accrued interest on each property for each
of the Local Limited Partnerships and Trinity Apartments as of December 31,
1995.

(A)      The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in the Local
         Limited Partnerships, and since its liability for obligations is
         limited to its original investment, its investment account is not
         reduced below zero (creating a liability) for the investments in Local
         Limited Partnerships. As a result, during 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and
         1991 $1,313,743, $1,447,892, $1,242,218, $1,113,035 and $850,654,
         respectively, of losses from four, four, three, three and three,
         respectively, Local Limited Partnerships have not been recognized by
         the Partnership (see Note 4 to the Partnership's financial
         statements).

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

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 the Federal Government. 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 terms of these government assistance programs. In prior years,
these restrictions have had an impact on the Partnership's ability to meet its
cash obligations.

         Net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, was
$20,181, as compared to cash provided by operations of $9,936 in 1994 and
$473,000 in 1993. The increase in net cash used in operations from 1994 to 1995
was the net result of decreases in certain expenses paid, including partnership
administrative fees and interest on partner loans, which were more than offset
by increased mortgage interest paid and a decrease in distributions in excess
of investment in Local Limited Partnerships.  The decrease in cash provided by
operations from 1993 to 1994 resulted from an increase in property tax expense,
an increase in other operational expenses, and payment of administration fees
and accrued interest to the General Partner.

         Distributions in excess of investment in 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 investment in Local
Limited Partnerships, investment carrying values for each of the Local Limited
Partnerships has decreased to zero. Cash distributions received are recorded in
revenues as distributions received in excess of investment in Local Limited
Partnerships. Cash distributions totaling $20,296 and $45,307 were received
from two Local Limited Partnerships during the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The receipt of these distributions in future years is
dependent on the operations of the underlying properties of the Local Limited
Partnerships.

         Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $35,568 at December 31, 1995.
The ability of the Partnership to meet its on-going cash requirements, in
excess of cash on hand at December 31, 1995, 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
December 31, 1995, the Partnership owes the General Partner $991,158 for
administrative and reporting services performed. In prior years, NHP has made
advances totalling $635,000 to Trinity Apartments to cover costs associated
with the refinancing of the Partnership's mortgage note payable for Trinity
Apartments and to cover operating deficits for Trinity Apartments. 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.

         Trinity Apartments' mortgage note, which was originally due June 30,
1995, had interest due and payable at a variable rate equal to 3.10% above the
lender's commercial paper rate. The Note had no amortization of principal
which, coupled with the competitive pay rate in prior years, enabled Trinity to
generate cash flow from operations. During 1994, $65,625 of administrative fees
and $38,436 of accrued interest on advances was paid to NHP from this cash
flow.

         On March 15, 1996, a modification to the original loan agreement
became effective which extended the due date of Trinity's mortgage note to
March 15, 1999. Under the revised agreement, interest is payable monthly at a
variable rate equal to 3.25% above the lender's commercial paper rate.
Principal is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 100% of Trinity's net cash
flow, as defined in the agreement, with the remaining principal balance due and
payable March 15, 1999.

         In 1993, based on an evaluation of the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows of Trinity, the Partnership recorded a write-down in the net book
value of the property, equal to the shortfall of the estimated undiscounted
future





                                       7
<PAGE>   9
cash flows from operations and proceeds from an assumed sale of the property as
compared to the net book value of the property (discussed more fully in Note 10
to the Partnership's financial statements). The amount of the write-down was
$4,091,000 and is recorded as a loss on reduction of carrying value of rental
property in 1993.

         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 NHP'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.

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. The Partnership's results of
operations are significantly impacted by the rental operations of Trinity
Apartments. In prior years, results of operations were also affected by the
Partnership's share of losses from the Local Limited Partnerships in which it
has invested to the extent the Partnership still had a carrying basis in a
respective Local Limited Partnership. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership had no carrying value in any of the Local Limited Partnerships and
therefore, reflected no share of losses from the four Local Limited
Partnerships.

         The Partnership's net loss increased to $889,927 in 1995 from a net
loss of $435,225 in 1994. The net loss per unit of limited partnership interest
increased to $58 in 1995 from net loss per unit of $28 in 1994 for the 15,414
units outstanding throughout both years. The primary reasons for this increase
in net loss include a $356,000 increase in interest on mortgage notes payable
and a $60,000 increase in interest on partner loans. The increase in mortgage
interest was the result of interest rate increases which began during 1994 and
continued throughout 1995.

         The Partnership's net loss was $435,225 in 1994 and $4,852,801 in
1993. Net loss per unit of limited partnership interest was $28 in 1994,
compared to a net loss per unit of $315 in 1993 for the 15,414 units
outstanding throughout both years. The primary reason for this decrease in net
loss resulted from a $4,091,000 write-down of the carrying value of Trinity
(see Note 10 to the Partnership's financial statements) in 1993, while no such
write-down was necessary in 1994. In addition, there was a decrease in interest
expense of approximately $110,000 on Trinity Apartments and an approximate
$56,000 increase in rental revenue from Trinity.  The share of losses decreased
in 1994 as the Partnership did not recognize its share of losses from four
Local Limited Partnerships, as the Partnership's net book investment in them
was reduced to zero (see Note 4 to the Partnership's financial statements). The
Partnership did not recognize $1,447,892 of its allocated share of losses from
the four Local Limited Partnerships, as the Partnership's net book investment
in them was reduced to zero (see Note 4 to the Partnership's financial
statements). The Partnership's share of losses from the Local Limited
Partnerships, if not limited to its investment account balance, would have
decreased $22,509 between years. This decrease was the result of the
combination of an increase in rental income and an increase in operating
expenses.

         The Partnership did not recognize $1,313,743 of its allocated share of
losses from the four Local Limited Partnerships in 1995, as the Partnership's
net book investment in them was reduced to zero (see Note 4 to the
Partnership's financial statements).  The Partnership's share of losses from
the Local Limited Partnerships, if not limited to its investment account
balance, would have decreased $134,149 between years. The decrease was
primarily the result of one of the Local Limited Partnerships recording an
approximately $181,000 loss on the sale of a parking garage during 1994, and an
increase in rental income of $10,000 in 1995, partially offset by a $150,000
increase in interest on deferred acquisition notes.

Independent Auditors' Report



To The Partners of
   National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV
Washington, D.C.


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of National
Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV (the Partnership) as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit),
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, and the supporting schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and the schedule
referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, when read in
conjunction with the related financial statements, the information therein set
forth.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       SUMMARY OF PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
         POLICIES

         Organization

         National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV (the Partnership) is a
limited partnership organized under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on January 8, 1986. The Partnership was formed for the purpose
of raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests, and
then using that capital to acquire and operate (either directly or through
investment as a limited partner in Local Limited Partnerships) multi-family
rental apartments, some of which are financed and/or operated with one or more
forms of rental or financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). On February 21, 1986, inception of operations, the
Partnership began raising capital and acquiring interests in Local Limited
Partnerships.

         The General Partner was authorized to raise capital for the
Partnership by offering and selling to additional limited partners not more
than 35,000 interests at a price of $1,000 per interest. During 1986, 15,414
interests were sold to additional limited partners. The offering was terminated
on October 14, 1986.

         During 1986, the Partnership acquired 99% limited partnership
interests in four limited partnerships (Local Limited Partnerships) which were
organized in 1986 to operate existing rental housing projects. In addition,
during 1986, the Partnership directly purchased Trinity Apartments (Trinity), a
conventionally financed rental apartment project.

         Significant Accounting Policies

         The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting. Public offering costs were recorded as a direct
reduction to the capital accounts of the limited partners. Direct costs of
acquisition, including acquisition fees and reimbursable acquisition expenses
paid to the General Partner, have been capitalized as investments in Trinity or
the Local Limited Partnerships. Other fees and expenditures of the Partnership
are recognized as expenses in the period the related services are performed.
The organization fee was amortized over a period of 60 months on a
straight-line basis. Deferred finance costs are amortized over the appropriate
loan period on a straight-line basis.

         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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Depreciation of the buildings and improvements is computed using the
straight-line method, assuming a 50 year life from the date of initial
occupancy and depreciation of equipment is calculated using accelerated methods
over estimated useful lives of 5 to 27 years (see Note 3).

         The Partnership recognizes rental revenue in the month earned in
accordance with signed resident tenant lease agreements.

         The financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trinity. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

                                  (CONTINUED)




         Investments in Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for using the
equity method and thus are carried at cost less the Partnership's share of the
Local Limited Partnerships' losses and distributions (see Note 4). An
investment account is maintained for each of the limited partnership
investments and losses are not taken once an investment account has decreased
to zero. Cash distributions are limited by the Regulatory Agreements between
the Local Limited Partnerships and HUD to the extent of surplus cash as defined
by HUD. Undistributed amounts are cumulative and may be distributed in
subsequent years if future operations provide surplus in excess of current
requirements. Distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships in which
the Partnership's investment account has decreased to zero are recorded as
revenue in the year received.

         For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Partnership
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with initial maturities

3.       CHANGE IN ESTIMATE

         During 1993, depreciation of the building was computed using the
straight-line method, assuming a 50-year life from the date of initial
occupancy after construction or substantial rehabilitation of the building.
Depreciation of the building in prior years was computed using the
straight-line method, assuming a 30-year life and 30% salvage value. This
change in the estimate of the life and salvage value of the building decreased
the net loss in 1993 by $73,751.

4.       INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

         The Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest in Loring
Towers Apartments Limited Partnership, Kennedy Homes Limited Partnership,
Capital Park Limited Partnership, and Royal Towers Limited Partnership. These
investments are accounted for using the equity method because, as a limited
partner, the liability of the Partnership is limited to its investment in the
Local Limited Partnerships. As a limited partner, the Partnership does not
exercise control over the activities of the Local Limited Partnerships in
accordance with the partnership agreements. Thus, the investments are carried
at cost less the Partnership's share of the Local Limited Partnerships' losses
and distributions. However, since the Partnership is neither legally liable for
the obligations of the Local Limited Partnerships, nor otherwise committed to
provide additional support to them, it does not recognize losses once its
investment in each of the individual Local Limited Partnerships, reduced for
its share of losses and cash distributions, reaches zero. As a result, during
1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership did not recognize $1,313,743, $1,447,892
and $1,242,218 of its allocated share of losses from four Local Limited
Partnerships, respectively. As of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Partnership had not recognized $6,250,914, $4,937,171 and $3,489,279 of its
cumulative allocated share of losses from four of the Local Limited
Partnerships, respectively.

         No working capital advances or recoveries occurred between the
Partnership and the Local Limited Partnerships during 1995 or 1994. During 1991
and 1989, the Partnership advanced $400 and $12,000, respectively, to two Local
Limited Partnerships as working capital advances. These amounts were
outstanding as of December 31, 1993. However, in the fourth quarter of 1993,
the Partnership re-evaluated the timing of the collectibility of these advances
and determined, based on the Local Limited Partnerships' current operations,
that such advances were not likely to be collected currently; therefore, the
Partnership reclassified these advances to the related investment accounts. Due
to the cumulative losses incurred but not recognized on the investments, the
balance was then reduced to zero, with the corresponding charge to operations,
shown as "Loss on Investment in Local Limited Partnerships" in the Statement of
Operations. To the extent these advances are repaid by the Local Limited
Partnerships in the future, operations will be credited upon repayment.

         Summaries of the combined financial position of the aforementioned
Local Limited Partnerships as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the combined
results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 are
as follows:

         The combined financial statements of the Local Limited Partnerships
are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Each Local Limited Partnership
was formed during 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and operating a rental
housing project originally organized under Section 236 or Section 221(d)(3) of
The National Housing Act. All four projects receive rental assistance from HUD.

         Depreciation of the buildings and improvements is computed using the
straight-line method, assuming a 50-year life from the date of initial
occupancy and depreciation of equipment is calculated using accelerated methods
over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 27 years.

         The mortgage notes payable are insured by the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) and secured by first deeds of trust on the rental
properties. The notes bear interest at rates ranging from 6% to 8.5% per annum.
For the three rental housing projects insured under Section 236, FHA makes
subsidy payments directly to the mortgage lenders reducing the monthly
principal and interest payments of the project owner to an effective interest
rate of 1% over the 40-year term of the notes. The liability of the Local
Limited Partnerships under the mortgage notes is limited to the underlying
value of the real estate collateral plus other amounts deposited with the
lenders.

         Deferred acquisition notes of $7,174,900 bear interest at the rate of
9% per annum, compounded semi-annually. These notes are nonrecourse and are
secured by security interests in all partnership interests of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Neither principal nor interest is payable currently; all
principal and accrued interest are payable upon the earlier of the sale,
transfer, or refinancing of the projects or 2001. The notes may be prepaid in
whole or in part at any time without penalty.

         For operating real estate property, generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) require that the Local Limited Partnerships evaluate whether
it is probable that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of any of its
properties, plus the cash projected to be received upon an assumed sale of the
property (Net Realizable Value) is less

than the net carrying value of the property. If such a shortfall exists, is
material, and is deemed to be other than temporary in nature, then a write-down
equal to the shortfall would be warranted. The Local Limited Partnerships
perform such evaluations on an ongoing basis. No adjustment was required to any
of the Local Limited Partnerships' properties as a result of this evaluation.

         Additionally, regardless of whether a write-down of an individual
property has been recorded or not, the carrying value of each of these
properties may still exceed their fair market value as of December 31, 1995.
Should a Local Limited Partnership be forced to dispose of any of its
properties, it could incur a loss.

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of"
(the "Statement") effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. Adoption of this Statement during the year ending
December 31, 1996 will require an impairment loss to be recognized if the sum
of estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is
less than the carrying amount of rental property. The impairment loss would be
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the rental
property. If the rental property is to be disposed of, fair value is calculated
net of costs to sell. The Local Limited Partnerships have not estimated the
effect of implementing the Statement. Adoption of the Statement for the year
ending December 31, 1996 will not have a significant impact on the results of
operations and financial position of the Partnership because its investment in
each Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to zero.

         One of the Local Limited Partnerships, Royal Towers has a significant
amount of payables and only limited resources to pay such items which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. NHP's
intentions are to continue managing the property prudently so that it can
maintain positive cash flow.

6.       MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE

         The Partnership, on behalf of Trinity Apartments, had a non-recourse
mortgage note payable (the Note) in the amount of $13,700,000, payable to
General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC). The Note had a term of five years

which matured on June 30, 1995, at which date the entire principal and accrued
interest was due and payable. The mortgage had been in default since that date.

         Under the terms of the defaulted loan, interest on the Note accrued at
a rate of 11% in the first year and thereafter at a variable rate (the Contract
Index Rate) equal to 3.10% above the "GECC Composite Commercial Paper Rate"
- -essentially GECC's short term commercial paper rate. At December 31, 1995, the
Contract Index Rate was 8.93%.

         Trinity was entitled to defer interest above the Applicable Base
Percentage Rate (as defined below), provided that such deferred interest not
exceed the lesser of 10% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note
(excluding capitalized deferred interest) or $1,370,000. The Applicable Base
Percentage Rate was set at 8.5% for the first year, 9.0% in the second and
third years, and 9.5% in the fourth and fifth years. Deferred interest was
payable in any month in which the Applicable Base Percentage Rate exceeded the
Contract Index Rate and, on each February 15, to the extent of Trinity's net
cash flow for the previous calendar year.  Any unpaid deferred interest
remaining at the end of any year was to be added to the then outstanding
principal amount of the Note.  Through the June 30, 1995 maturity date, no
deferred interest was added to the outstanding principal balance.

         GECC was also entitled to 50% of annual net cash flow and net sale or
refinancing proceeds or, to the extent Trinity was not sold or refinanced by
the maturity date, 50% of Trinity's appraised net fair market value. In
addition, if Trinity was refinanced, GECC was entitled to 50% of the fair
market value above the amount of refinanced debt and could elect to have such
amount calculated and paid either at the time of refinancing or upon what would
have been the maturity date of the Note (June 30, 1995) had Trinity not
refinanced.

         During 1995, subsequent to June 30, the Partnership continued to make
monthly payments for interest and real estate tax escrows while negotiating for
an extension or refinancing of the loan. The balance of the loan at December
31, 1995 was $13,700,000.  A Modification Agreement was signed on March 15,
1996.

         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.

         Under the agreement with GECC, Trinity is required to make monthly
escrow deposits for taxes.

         As additional security for all obligations arising under the Note,
NHP, on behalf of the Partnership, secured two letters of credit with Riggs
National Bank under which GECC may draw down a maximum of $500,000. The first
letter of credit in the amount of $300,000 was released during 1992. The second
letter of credit for $200,000 expired in 1993 and was replaced by cash escrowed
by NHP on behalf of Trinity.

7.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES OF THE GENERAL
         PARTNER

         The General Partner of the Partnership is The National Housing
Partnership (NHP). National Corporation for Housing Partnerships (NCHP) is the
sole general partner of NHP, while NHP Partners Two Limited Partnership is the
sole limited partner. The Original Limited Partner of the Partnership is 1133
Fifteenth Street Four Associates, whose limited partners are individuals who
were key employees of NCHP at the time the Partnership was formed and whose
general partner is NHP.

         The Partnership accrued administrative and reporting fees payable to
the General Partner of $115,604 in 1995 and 1994 and $115,605 during 1993. The
balance owed to NHP at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $991,158 and $875,554,
respectively. No payments were made during 1995, 1994 or 1993.

         During 1995 and 1994, NHP made working capital advances of $38,907 and
$541, respectively, to the Partnership. No repayments of working capital
advances were made in 1995 or 1994. The balance owed to NHP at December 31,
1995 and 1994 was $1,248,401 and $1,209,494, respectively. Interest is charged
at the Chase Manhattan Bank rate of prime plus 2%. During 1994, interest of
$38,436 was paid to NHP. Additionally, Annual Partnership Administrative Fees
of $7,500 were accrued by Trinity Apartments during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These fees are payable to NHP without interest from cash
available for distribution to partners. During 1994, $65,625 was paid to NHP
for these fees. As of December 31, 1995, $7,500 was owed to NHP for these fees.
No balance was owed to NHP at December 31, 1994.

         An affiliate of the general partner, NHP Management Company (NHPMC),
is the project management agent for Trinity Apartments and each of the
properties operated by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership
has invested. NHPMC and other affiliates of NCHP earned $707,401, $629,187 and
$698,899 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for management fees and other
services provided to Trinity Apartments and the Local Limited Partnerships. At
December 31, 1995, trade payables included $26,950 due to NHPMC.

         Personnel working at Trinity Apartments and the other property sites
were NCHP employees and, therefore, Trinity and the properties reimbursed NCHP
for the actual salaries and related benefits. Beginning January 1, 1996,
project employees became employees of NHP Incorporated. Total reimbursement for
salaries and benefits earned for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 were approximately $872,300, $872,900 and $872,100, respectively.

8.       INCOME TAXES

         The Partnership is not taxed on its income. The partners are taxed in
their individual capacities upon their distributive share of the Partnership's
taxable income and are allowed the benefits to be derived from off-setting
their distributive share of the tax losses against taxable income from other
sources subject to application of passive loss rules. The taxable income or
loss differs from amounts included in the statement of operations because of
different methods used in computing depreciation and determining the losses of
the Local Limited Partnerships. The tax loss is allocated to the partner groups
in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore is
not necessarily proportionate to the interest percentage owned.

         For Federal income tax purposes, both the Partnership and the four
Local Limited Partnerships compute depreciation of the buildings and
improvements using the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), while for financial
statement purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method,
assuming a 50-year life from the date of initial occupancy. Rent received in
advance is included as income in determining the taxable income or loss for
Federal income tax purposes, while for financial statement purposes, it is
shown as a liability. Other differences result from the allocation of tax
losses in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         As discussed in Note 4, one of the Local Limited Partnerships in which
the Partnership has invested may not be able to continue as a going concern.
Should a Local Limited Partnership not continue as a going concern or the
Partnership itself not continue as a going concern (see Note 9), there could be
adverse tax consequences to the partners in the Partnership. The impact of the
tax consequences is dependent upon each partner's individual tax situation.

9.       GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

         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 December 31, 1995 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.

10.      LOSS ON REDUCTION OF CARRYING VALUE OF RENTAL PROPERTY

         Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that the
Partnership evaluate whether it is probable that the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows of Trinity Apartments is less than the net book value of the
Trinity





                                       22

                                  (CONTINUED)




Apartments rental property. If such a shortfall exists, is material, and is
deemed to be other than temporary in nature, then a write-down equal to the
shortfall would be warranted. The Partnership performs such an evaluation on an
ongoing basis by comparing the net book value to the total estimated
undiscounted future cash flow plus cash projected to be received upon an
assumed sale (Net Realizable Value). In doing such an analysis at December 31,
1992, no write-down of Trinity's rental property was necessary.  However,
during 1993, due to revised estimates of future market conditions and
operations, both of which are projected to have a negative impact on the
Partnership's ability to refinance the mortgage note, coupled with the fact
that one year's less undiscounted cash flow is available at December 31, 1993,
the Partnership recorded a write-down of $4,091,000 to reduce the carrying
value to estimated net realizable value, which may not necessarily reflect
current market value. This non-cash expense is shown on the accompanying
statement of operations as a loss on reduction of carrying value of rental
property. The analysis done at December 31, 1995 and 1994 indicated that no
additional write-down was necessary for 1995 and 1994. However, the carrying
value of the property may still exceed its fair market value as of December 31,
1995 and 1994. The Partnership will continue to evaluate the carrying value of
the rental property on an ongoing basis.

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting For The
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of'
(the "Statement") effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. Adoption of this Statement during the year ending
December 31, 1996 will require an impairment loss to be recognized if the sum
of estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is
less than the carrying amount of rental property. The impairment loss would be
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the rental
property. If the rental property is to be disposed of, fair value is calculated
net of costs to sell. The Partnership has not estimated the effect of
implementing the Statement. Adoption of the Statement for the year ending
December 31, 1996 could require that an impairment loss be recognized which
could have a significant impact (noncash) on results of operations and
financial position.

11.      ALLOCATION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND GAINS AND
         LOSSES FROM SALE OR REFINANCING

         Cash received from sales or refinancing of any underlying property of
the Local Limited Partnerships, after payment of the applicable mortgage debt
and the payment of all expenses related to the transaction, is to be
distributed in the following manner:

         First, to the General Partner for any unrepaid loans to the
         Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership (other than operating
         guarantee loans) and any unpaid fees (other than disposition and
         refinancing fees);

         Second, to the General Partner to repay any unrepaid operating
         guarantee loans made to the Property sold or refinanced;

         Third, to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have
         received a return of their capital contribution to the Partnership
         allocable to the Property sold or refinanced after deduction for prior
         cash distributions from sales or refinancing, but without deduction
         for prior cash distribution from operations;

         Fourth, to the General Partner to repay any unrepaid operating
         guarantee loans made to Properties other than the Property sold or
         refinanced;

         Fifth, to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have
         received a return of the unrecovered amount of their capital
         contributions, after deduction for prior cash distributions from sales
         or refinancings, but without deduction for prior cash distributions
         from operations;

         Sixth, to the Limited Partners, until each Limited Partner has
         received an amount equal to a cumulative noncompounded 9% annual
         return on its capital contribution, after deduction of (a) an amount
         equal to 35% of the tax losses allocated to the Limited Partner and
         (b) prior cash distributions from operations;

         Seventh, to the General Partner until the General Partner has received
         a return of its capital contributions, after deduction for prior cash
         distributions from sales or refinancing, but without deduction for
         prior cash distributions from operations;

         Eighth, to the General Partner for disposition and refinancing fees,
         including prior disposition and refinancing fees which have been
         accrued but are unpaid;

         Ninth, to the partners with positive capital accounts to bring such
         accounts to zero; and

         Finally, 85% of the remaining sales proceeds to the Limited Partners
         and 15% to the General Partner.

         Net income or loss from operations is allocated 98% to the Limited
Partners, 1% to the General Partner and 1% to the Original Limited Partner.
Cash distributions from operations, after payment of certain obligations
including reimbursement on a cumulative basis of direct expenses incurred by
the General Partner or its affiliate in managing the properties and payment of
annual cumulative administrative and reporting fees, is distributed 98% to the
Limited Partners, 1% to the General Partner and 1% to the Original Limited
Partner.

         Gain for federal income tax purposes realized in the event of
dissolution of the Partnership or upon sale of interests in a Local Limited
Partnership or underlying property will be allocated in the following manner:

         First, to the Limited Partners in an amount up to the negative
         balances of the capital accounts of Limited Partners in the same
         proportion as each Limited Partner's negative capital account bears to
         such aggregate negative capital accounts;

         Second, to the General Partner in an amount up to the General
         Partner's negative capital account, if any;

         Third, to the Limited Partners up to the aggregate amount of capital
         contributions of the Limited Partners, after deduction for prior cash
         distributions from sales or refinancing, but without deduction for
         prior cash distributions from operations, in the same proportion that
         such Limited Partner's capital contribution bears to the aggregate of
         all Limited Partners' capital contributions;

         Fourth, to the Limited Partners, until each Limited Partner has been
         allocated in such an amount equal to a cumulative noncompounded 9%
         annual return on their capital contribution, after deduction of (a) an
         amount equal to 35% of the tax losses allocated to the Limited Partner
         and (b) prior cash distributions from operations;

         Fifth, to the General Partner up to the aggregate amount of capital
         contributions made by the General Partner, after deduction for prior
         cash distributions from sales or refinancing, but without deduction
         for prior cash distributions from operations and

         Finally, 85% of the remaining gain to the Limited Partners and 15% to
         the General Partner.

         Losses for federal income tax purposes realized in the event of
dissolution of the Partnership or upon sale of interests in a Local Limited
Partnership or underlying property will be allocated 85% to the Limited
Partners and 15% to the General Partner.

12.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about significant
financial instruments, when it is practicable to estimate that value and
excessive costs would not be incurred. To estimate the fair value of the
balances due to the General Partner and accrued interest thereon, excessive
costs would be incurred and, therefore, no estimate has been made. The
Partnership believes that the carrying value of other assets and liabilities
reported on the statement of financial position that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

13.      NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITY

         During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership incurred costs of $9,297 and
$6,085, respectively, for additions to building and equipment which are
included in accounts payable as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

         National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV has no officers or
directors. However, as outlined in the prospectus, various fees and
reimbursements are paid to the General Partner and its affiliates. Following is
a summary of such fees paid or accrued during the year ended December 31, 1995:

         (i)   Administrative and reporting fees of $115,604 accrued during the
               year but not yet paid to the General Partner for managing the
               affairs of the Partnership and for investor services. No payments
               were made in 1995.

         (ii)  Annual partnership administration fee of $30,000 to the General
               Partner for its services as General Partner of the four Local
               Limited Partnerships. Payments of $15,000 were made in 1995.
               Trinity Apartments also accrued $7,500 in such fees during 1995.

         (iii) During 1995, the Local Limited Partnerships repaid to NHP $205
               of accrued interest on Partner advances.

         (iv)  An affiliate of the General Partner, NHP Management Company
               (NHPMC), is the project management agent for the projects
               operated by the Local Limited Partnerships, as well as Trinity
               Apartments. During 1995, NHPMC and other affiliates of NCHP
               earned $501,645 and $205,756 for management fees and other
               services provided to the Local Limited Partnerships and Trinity
               Apartments, respectively.

         (v)   In 1995, personnel working at the project sites which were
               managed by NHPMC were NCHP employees, and therefore the project
               reimbursed NCHP for the actual salaries and related benefits.
               Total reimbursements for salaries and benefits earned for the
               year ended December 31, 1995, were approximately $642,000 for
               the Local Limited Partnerships and $230,000 for Trinity
               Apartments.

whose general partner is NHP and whose limited partners were key employees of
NCHP at the time the Partnership was formed, owns a 1% interest in the

Independent Auditors' Report




To The Partners of
    National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV
Washington, D.C.


We have audited the accompanying combined statements of financial position of
the Local Limited Partnerships in which National Housing Partnership Realty
Fund IV (the Partnership) holds a limited partnership interest as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related combined statements of operations, partners'
deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of the Local Limited Partnerships in
which National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV holds a limited partnership
interest as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the combined results of their
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                           LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       SUMMARY OF PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF COMBINATION AND
         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization

         National Housing Partnership Realty Fund IV (the Partnership) is a
limited partnership organized under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on January 8, 1986. The Partnership was formed for the purpose
of raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests, and
then using that capital to acquire and operate (either directly or through
investment as a limited partner in Local Limited Partnerships) existing
multi-family rental apartments, some of which are financed and/or operated with
one or more forms of rental or financial assistance from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On February 21, 1986, inception of
operations, the Partnership began raising capital and acquiring interests in
Local Limited Partnerships.

         During 1986, the Partnership acquired 99% Limited Partnership
interests in four limited partnerships (the Local Limited Partnerships) which
were organized in 1986 to acquire and operate existing rental housing projects.
The rental housing projects were originally organized under Sections 236 or
221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act. As a limited partner, the Partnership
does not exercise control over the activities of the Local Limited Partnerships
in accordance with the partnership agreements.

         Basis of Combination

         The combined financial statements include the accounts of the
following four Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership holds a
limited partnership interest:

         Capital Park Limited Partnership
         Kennedy Homes Limited Partnership
         Loring Towers Apartments Limited Partnership
         Royal Towers Limited Partnership

         Significant Accounting Policies

         The financial statements of the Local Limited Partnerships are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Depreciation of the buildings and
improvements is computed using the straight-line method, assuming a 50-year
life from the date of initial occupancy. Cash distributions are limited by the
Regulatory Agreements between the Local Limited Partnerships and HUD to the
extent of surplus cash as defined by HUD. Undistributed amounts are cumulative
and may be distributed in subsequent years if future operations provide surplus
cash in excess of current requirements.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect  the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with initial maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

2.       CHANGE IN ESTIMATE

         Depreciation of the buildings has been computed using the
straight-line method, assuming a 50-year life from the date of initial
occupancy after construction or substantial rehabilitation of the building.
Depreciation of the buildings in 1992 was computed using the straight-line
method, assuming a 30-year life and a 30% salvage value. This change in the
estimate of the life and salvage value of the buildings increased the combined
net loss of the four local limited partnerships by $133,419 during 1993.

3.       ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

         Accounts receivable consist of the following:

4.       HOUSING ASSISTANCE AGREEMENTS

         The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has contracted with the four
subsidized rental projects under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 to make housing assistance payments to the
Local Limited Partnerships on behalf of qualified tenants. The terms of the
agreements are five years with one or two five-year renewal options. The
agreements expire at various dates over the next ten years. Each Local Limited
Partnership has an agreement in effect for 1996. Capital Park and Royal Towers
Section 8 subsidy contracts covering 127 and 88 units, respectively, are
scheduled to expire in June 1996.  Additionally, Royal Towers has another
contract for 22 units scheduled to expire in September, 1996. In January 1996,
President Clinton signed into law H.R. 2880. This legislation includes a
provision that requires HUD to provide a one-year renewal for Section 8
contracts scheduled to expire during the first nine months of 1996. All other
Section 8 contracts are scheduled to expire between 1997 and 2008. The Local
Limited Partnerships received a total of $3,407,079, $3,275,260 and $3,048,956
during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, in the form of housing assistance
payments which is included in "Rental Income" in the combined statements of
operations.

6.       MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

         The mortgage notes payable are insured by FHA and secured by first
deeds of trust on the rental properties. The notes bear interest at rates
ranging from 6% to 8.5% per annum. FHA, under an interest reduction contract
with the three Section 236 properties, makes subsidy payments directly to the
mortgage lender reducing the monthly principal and interest payments of the
project owner to an effective interest rate of 1% over the 40-year terms of the
notes. The liability of the Local Limited Partnerships under the mortgage notes
is limited to the underlying value of the real estate collateral, plus other
amounts deposited with the lenders.

         Under agreements with the mortgage lenders and FHA, the Local Limited
Partnerships are required to make monthly escrow deposits for taxes, insurance
and a reserve for the replacement of project assets, and are subject to
restrictions as to operating policies, rental charges, operating expenditures
and distributions to partners.

         Approximate maturities of mortgage notes payable for the next five
years are as follows:

collateralized by partnership interests in all Local Limited Partnerships.
Neither principal nor interest are payable currently; all principal and accrued
interest are payable upon the earlier of the sale, transfer, or refinancing of
the project or 2001. The notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time
without penalty.

8.       DUE TO PARTNERS

         Annual partnership administration fees of $30,000 were accrued for
1995, 1994 and 1993. The Local Limited Partnerships paid $15,000, $22,500 and
$7,500 in such fees during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These fees are
payable to NHP without interest from surplus cash available for distribution to
partners. The accumulated fees owed to NHP were $161,875 and $146,875 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         As of December 31, 1994, the Limited Partner, National Housing
Partnership Realty Fund IV, had advanced $12,000 to a Local Limited Partnership
to help defray operating deficits subsequent to NHP's guarantee period and $400
to two Local Limited Partnerships to fund partnership entity expenses. Interest
is charged at the rate of prime plus 2%. The advance and interest will be paid
in conformity with HUD and/or other regulatory requirements and applicable
partnership agreements.

9.       FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES

         The Local Limited Partnerships are not taxed on their income. The
partners are taxed in their individual capacities upon their distributive share
of the Local Limited Partnerships' taxable income and are allowed the benefits
to be derived from offsetting their distributive share of the tax losses
against taxable income from other sources subject to passive loss rule
limitations. The taxable income or loss differs from amounts included in the
statement of operations primarily because of different methods used in
determining depreciation expense for tax purposes. The tax loss is allocated to
partner groups in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
and therefore is not necessarily proportionate to the interest percentage
owned.

         For Federal income tax purposes, the Local Limited Partnerships
compute depreciation of the buildings and improvements using the Accelerated
Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(MACRS), while for financial statements purposes, depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method, assuming a 50-year life from the date of
initial occupancy. Rent received in advance is included as income in
determining the taxable income or loss for Federal income tax purposes, while
for financial statement purposes it is shown as a liability. Other differences
result from the allocation of tax losses in accordance with Section 704(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code.

10.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The General Partner of the Partnership is The National Housing
Partnership (NHP). National Corporation for Housing Partnerships (NCHP) is the
sole general partner of NHP. NHP is the sole general partner of the Local
Limited Partnerships. An affiliate of the general partner, NHP Management
Company (NHPMC), is the project management agent for the projects operated by
the Local Limited Partnerships. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, NHPMC and other
affiliates of NCHP earned $501,645, $430,115 and $500,273, respectively, for
management fees and other services provided to the Local Limited Partnerships.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, amounts due NHPMC and unpaid by the Local
Limited Partnerships amounted to $169,072 and $190,283, respectively.

         Personnel working at the project sites which are managed by NHPMC are
NCHP employees, and therefore the projects reimburse NCHP for the actual
salaries and related benefits. At December 31, 1994, trade payables include
$31,080 due to NCHP. Total reimbursements earned for salaries and benefits for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $642,000,
$613,000 and $623,000, respectively.

11.      NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         At December 31, 1995, three of the Local Limited Partnerships had
purchased $47,017 in additions to rental property and at December 31, 1994,
three Local Limited Partnership had purchased $16,556 of additions to rental
property which are included in trade payables.

12.      FUTURE OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS

         One Local Limited Partnership, Royal Towers, has a significant amount
of payables and only limited resources with which to pay such items. These
issues raise substantial doubt about the Royal Towers Limited Partnership's
ability to continue as a going concern. Royal Towers continued existence as a
going concern is dependent upon maintaining positive cash flows from operations
or obtaining additional fundings from partners if positive cash flows are not
maintained. NHP's intentions are to continue managing the property prudently so
that it can maintain positive cash flows and decrease its debts.

                                  (CONTINUED)





         The total assets, deficit, revenues and net loss of Royal Towers
represent 23%, 35%, 24% and 20% of the applicable amounts included in the
accompanying combined financial statements as of December 31, 1995 and for the
year then ended.

13.      DRUG ELIMINATION GRANT PROGRAM

         Two Local Limited Partnerships have entered into a grant agreement
with HUD under the Drug Elimination Grant Program (the "Program") to assist in
the elimination of illegal drugs and the associated crime at the properties.
The grant agreements are dated August 1993 and July 1994, and the amounts
awarded are $175,000 and $164,387, respectively. During 1995, one of the Local
Limited Partnerships received $156,034 for costs incurred under the program, of
which $35,167 is included in miscellaneous operating expenses and $120,867 has
been capitalized in rental property. During 1994, one of the Local Limited
Partnerships received $174,993 for costs incurred under the program, of which
$385 is included in miscellaneous operating expenses and $174,608 has been
capitalized in rental property.

14.      SALE OF PARKING GARAGE

         During 1994, one of the Local Limited Partnerships sold the project's
parking garage for $6,000 resulting in a net loss on sale of $181,213.

         HUD approved this partial release of collateral based on the estimated
high costs to repair or demolish the structure. The parking garage had been
closed for public safety since 1992. As a condition of sale, certain easements
have been granted to the Partnership to use or access equipment, storage areas
and entrances in the same manner as before the sale.

15.      LOSS ON REDUCTION OF CARRYING VALUE OF RENTAL PROPERTY

         For operating real estate property, generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) require that the Local Limited Partnership evaluate whether
it is probable that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of each of its
properties, plus the cash projected to be received upon an assumed sale of the
property (Net Realizable Value) is less than the net carrying value of the
property. If such a shortfall exists, is material, and is deemed to be other
than temporary in nature, then a write-down of the shortfall would be
warranted. The Local Limited Partnership performs such evaluations on an
ongoing basis. No adjustment was required to any of the Local Limited
Partnerships' properties as a result of this evaluation.

         Additionally, regardless of whether a write-down of an individual
property has been recorded or not, the carrying value of each of these
properties may still exceed their fair market value as of December 31, 1995.
Should a Local Limited Partnership be forced to dispose of any of its
properties, it could incur a loss.

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting For The
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of"
(the "Statement") effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. Adoption of this Statement during the year ending
December 31, 1996 will require an impairment loss to be recognized if the sum
of estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is
less than the carrying amount of rental property. The impairment loss would be
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the rental
property. If the rental property is to be disposed of, fair value is calculated
net of costs to sell. The Local Limited

                                  (CONTINUED)




Partnerships have not estimated the effect of implementing the Statement.
Adoption of the Statement for the year ending December 31, 1996 could require
that an impairment loss be recognized which could have a significant impact
(noncash) on the results of operations and financial position of the Local
Limited Partnerships.

16.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments, when it is practicable to estimate that value. The mortgage notes
payable are insured by the FHA and are secured by the rental property. The
operations generated by the rental property are subject to various government
rules, regulations and restrictions which make it impracticable to obtain the
information to estimate the fair value of the mortgage note and the partner
loans and related accrued interest. For the deferred acquisition notes and
related accrued interest, a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made
without incurring excessive costs. The carrying amount of other assets and
liabilities reported on the statement of financial position that require such
disclosure approximates fair value.
