PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------- --------
The Registrant, First Capital Institutional Real Estate, Ltd.- 4 (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership organized in 1986 under the Uniform
Limited Partnership Act of the State of Illinois. The Partnership sold 593,025
Limited Partnership Assignee Units (the "Units") to the public from November
1986 to May 1988, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration Statement No. 33-06149).
Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have
in the Partnership's Registration Statement.
The business of the Partnership is to invest primarily in existing commercial
income-producing real estate, such as shopping centers, warehouses and office
buildings, and, to a lesser extent, in other types of commercial income-
producing real estate. From January 1987 to March 1989, the Partnership made
one real property investment and purchased 50% interests in three joint ventures
and a 75% interest in one joint venture each with Affiliated partnerships. Two
of the 50% joint ventures and the 75% joint venture were each formed for the
purpose of acquiring a 100% interest in certain real property and one 50% joint
venture was formed for the purpose of participating in a mortgage loan
investment, which was recognized as of July 1, 1990 as being foreclosed in-
substance and was recorded as two real property investments. All of the
Partnership's joint ventures, prior to dissolution, were operated under the
common control of First Capital Financial Corporation (the "General Partner").
Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership, with its respective joint venture
partners, dissolved the 50% joint venture which was originally formed for the
purpose of participating in a mortgage loan investment and the three remaining
joint venture interests as a result of the sale and/or disposition of the five
real property investments.
Property management services for the Partnership's real estate investment is
provided by a third party for fees calculated as a percentage of gross rents
received from the properties.
The real estate business is highly competitive. The results of operations of
the Partnership will depend upon the availability of suitable tenants, real
estate market conditions and general economic conditions which may impact the
success of these tenants. The property owned by the Partnership frequently
competes for tenants with similar properties owned by others.
As of March 1, 1998, there was one employee at the Partnership's property for
on-site property maintenance and administration.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (a)(b)
- ------- -----------------
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned Indian Ridge Shopping Center
("Indian Ridge"), located in Mishawaka, Indiana. Indian Ridge has 186,297 net
leasable square feet of which 90%, 92%, 72%, 98% and 98% was occupied as of
December 31, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The average annual
rental per square foot, as computed by dividing the property's base revenues by
its average occupied square footage, for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $9.11, $7.77, $8.72, $9.32 and $9.18,
respectively.
For federal income tax purposes, the Partnership depreciates the portion of the
acquisition costs of Indian Ridge allocable to real property (exclusive of
land), and all improvements, over a useful life of 40 years, utilizing the
straight-line method. In the opinion of the General Partner, Indian Ridge is
adequately insured and serviced by all necessary utilities. 1997 real estate
taxes for Indian Ridge were $297,400.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (Continued)
As of December 31, 1997 there were 25 tenants at Indian Ridge. The tenants
which occupy ten percent or more of the rentable square footage of Indian Ridge
are Circuit City, an audio visual store, and T.J. Maxx, a department store,
occupying 23% and 16% of the net leasable square footage of Indian Ridge,
respectively. The per annum base rents provided for in the Circuit City lease,
which expires on January 31, 2016 and has one five year renewal option, will be
$288,800 during 1998 and for each year for the remainder of the current lease.
The per annum base rents provided for in the T.J. Maxx lease, which expires on
January 31, 2003 and has two five year renewal options, will be $243,700 in 1998
and for each year for the remainder of the current lease.
The amounts in the following table represent the base rental revenue from leases
in their respective year of expiration (assuming no lease renewals) through the
year ended December 31, 2007:

(including Operating Expenses, payments of principal (other than balloon
payments of principal out of offering proceeds) and interest on any
Partnership indebtedness and interest on advances by the General Partner
and any reserves of revenues from operations deemed reasonably necessary by
the General Partner), except depreciation and amortization expenses and
capital expenditures and lease acquisition expenditures. Cash Flow (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement) includes amounts distributed to
Limited Partners from funds advanced to the Partnership by the General
Partner and the General Partner's Partnership Management Fee.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The ordinary business of the Partnership is expected to pass through its life
cycle in three phases: (i) the Offering of Units and investment in properties;
(ii) the operation of properties and (iii) the sale or other disposition of
properties.
The Partnership commenced the Offering of Units on November 5, 1986 and began
operations on December 15, 1986, after achieving the required minimum
subscription level. On May 4, 1988, the Offering was Terminated upon the sale
of 593,025 Units. From January 1987 to March 1989, the Partnership made one
real property investment and purchased 50% interests in three joint ventures
and a 75% interest in one joint venture each with Affiliated partnerships. Two
of the 50% joint ventures and the 75% joint venture were each formed for the
purpose of acquiring a 100% interest in certain real property. The remaining
50% joint venture was formed for the purpose of participating in a mortgage
loan investment, which was recognized as of July 1, 1990 as being foreclosed
in-substance and was recorded as two real property investments; the Wellington
North Office Complex (comprised of three office buildings, "Wellington") and
the North Valley I Office Center.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. In
1992 the Partnership, in addition to being in the operation of properties
phase, entered the disposition phase of its life cycle. During the disposition
phase of the Partnership's life cycle, comparisons of operating results are
complicated due to the timing and effect of property sales and dispositions.
Partnership operating results are generally expected to decline as real
property interests are sold or disposed of since the Partnership no longer
receives income generated from such real property interests. During 1997, the
Partnership sold its interests in Carrollton Crossroads Shopping Center
("Carrollton"), 3120 Southwest Freeway Office Building ("Southwest Freeway")
and Park Plaza Professional Building ("Park Plaza"). Carrollton, Southwest
Freeway and Park Plaza are hereafter referred to as the Sold Properties. For
further information see Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
OPERATIONS
The table below is a recap of certain operating results of the Partnership's
remaining property and the Sold Properties for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995. The discussion following the table should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing in this
report.

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996
Net income improved by $922,600 for the year ended December 31, 1997 when
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to
the net gain on the sales of the Sold Properties. The improved operating
results at Indian Ridge Shopping Center ("Indian Ridge") and the increase in
income earned on the Partnership's short-term investments was offset by the
diminished operating results at Park Plaza and the absence of results in 1997
due to the sales of the Carrollton and Southwest Freeway. The diminished
operating results at Park Plaza were due to a decline in the rates charged to
new and renewing tenants and a decrease in tenant expense reimbursements.
Net income exclusive of Sold Properties increased by $782,600 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The
increase was primarily due to improved operating results at Indian Ridge and an
increase in interest earned on the Partnership's short-term investments. The
increase in interest income was due primarily to increased availability of cash
from property sales prior to its distribution to Partners.
The following comparative discussion excludes the operating results of the Sold
Properties.
Rental revenues increased by $357,800 or 21.0% for the year ended December 31,
1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase was
primarily the result of increased occupancy. In October 1996, a new tenant,
Circuit City, completed construction and commenced operations in approximately
45,000 square feet of previously vacant space. In addition, another significant
tenant which had been paying only percentage rent resumed paying the rental
rates charged prior to the 1995 vacancy of a former significant tenant.
Interest expense decreased by $131,300 for the year ended December 31, 1997
when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily
due to the effects of the $2,830,700 principal paydown of the Partnership's
loan payable to the General Partner on May 31, 1997. In accordance with the
Partnership Agreement 25% of the Sales Proceeds from Carrollton and Southwest
Freeway were used to partially repay this loan.
Real estate tax expense decreased by $18,500 for the year ended December 31,
1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to an adjustment in 1996 to correct for an underaccrual of 1995
tax liability.
Property operating expenses decreased by $42,500 for the year ended December
31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in professional services which was due to the
significant 1996 expenditures related to securing the new
6

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(CONTINUED)
major tenant. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in property
management fees. This increase was due to an increase in base rental income and
to the 1996 expenditure of lease commissions paid to an outside broker which
were capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995
Net results improved by $2,039,600 for the year ended December 31, 1996 when
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The improvement was primarily due
to provisions for value impairment recorded during 1995. Exclusive of the
provisions for value impairment, net income decreased by $360,400 for the years
under comparison. The decrease was primarily the result of diminished operating
results at Indian Ridge and to a lesser extent at Park Plaza and Southwest
Freeway. Also contributing to the decrease in net income was an increase in
interest expense on the loan payable to the General Partner as a result of a
greater average outstanding loan balance and a decrease in interest income
resulting from a reduction in the average amount of funds available for short-
term investments. Partially offsetting the decrease in net income was an
increase in operating results at Carrollton.
Rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased by $192,500 or
3.6% when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The primary factor
which contributed to the decrease in rental revenues for the years under
comparison was lower average occupancy rates at all of the Partnership's
properties except Carrollton. Rental revenues at Indian Ridge decreased by
$146,600 for the year ended December 31, 1996, when compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995. This decrease was the result of a major tenant vacating
45,000 square feet of space in July 1995, subsequent to filing for bankruptcy.
This 45,000 square feet accounted for approximately 24% of the total leasable
square footage of Indian Ridge. In addition, in accordance with its lease,
starting in December 1995, the other major tenant at Indian Ridge began to pay
percentage rent, in lieu of the required base rent, because of the major tenant
vacancy. During October 1996, a new tenant, Circuit City, completed
construction and commenced operations in 45,000 square feet of this vacated
space. Beginning October 1, 1996, the major tenant previously paying percentage
rent resumed paying the rental rates charged prior to the vacancy. In addition,
rental revenues decreased at Southwest Freeway due to a decrease in average
occupancy and at Park Plaza due to a decrease in base rental rates charged to
new and renewing tenants.
Real estate tax expense increased by $84,500 for the years under comparison.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in the 1995 tax liability (paid
in 1996) at Indian Ridge resulting from an increase in the assessed value for
real estate tax purposes.
Property operating expenses increased by $70,700 for the year ended December
31, 1996 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily due to higher professional service fees at Park Plaza and Indian
Ridge. Partially offsetting the increase was lower property management and
leasing fees at Indian Ridge as a result of the decrease in rental revenues.
Repairs and maintenance expenses increased by $56,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily
due to increased: 1) expenditures relating to the parking facility at Park
Plaza; 2) snow removal and janitorial expenses at Indian Ridge and 3) expenses
related to the enhancement of the appearance of Carrollton. Partially
offsetting the increases were decreases at Southwest Freeway as a result of
expenditures made during 1995 in order to enhance the appearance and safety
features of the property.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $96,400 for the years under
comparison, primarily due to the effects of the provisions for value impairment
recorded for several of the Partnership's properties during the year ended
December 31, 1995.
To increase and/or maintain the occupancy level at the Partnership's remaining
property, the General Partner, through its Affiliated asset and third party
management groups, continues to take the following actions: 1) implementation
of marketing programs, including hiring of third-party leasing agents or
providing on-site leasing personnel, advertising, direct mail campaigns and
development of property brochures; 2) early renewal of existing tenants' leases
and addressing any expansion needs these tenants may have; 3) promotion of
local broker events and networking with local brokers; 4) networking with
national level retailers; 5) cold-calling other businesses and tenants in the
market area; and 6) providing rental concessions or competitively pricing
rental rates depending on market conditions.
The rate of inflation has remained relatively stable during the years under
comparison and has had a minimal impact on the operating results of the
Partnership. The nature of various tenant lease clauses protects the
Partnership, to some extent, from increases in the rate of inflation. Certain
of the lease clauses provide for the following: (1) annual rent increases based
on the Consumer Price Index or graduated rental increases; (2) percentage
rentals, for which the Partnership receives as additional rent a percentage
based on a tenant's sales over predetermined amounts and (3) total or partial
tenant reimbursement of property operating expenses (e.g., common area
maintenance, real estate taxes, etc.).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. In
the interim, the Partnership continues to manage and maintain its property.
Notwithstanding the Partnership's objective relative to property sales, another
primary objective of the Partnership is to provide cash distributions to
Partners from Partnership operations. To the extent cumulative cash
distributions exceed net income, such excess distributions will be treated as a
return of capital. Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is
generally not equal to net income or cash flows as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), since certain items are treated
differently under the Partnership Agreement than under GAAP. Management
believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the Partnership's
operations, an analysis of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
should be examined in conjunction with an analysis of net income or cash flows
as defined by GAAP. The second table in Selected Financial Data of this report
includes a reconciliation of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) to cash flows provided by operating activities as determined by
GAAP. Such amounts are not indicative of actual distributions to

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED
Partners and should not be considered as an alternative to the results
disclosed in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Statements of Cash Flow.
The decrease in Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $440,700
for the year ended December 31, 1997 when compared to year ended December 31,
1996 was primarily due to the 1997 sales of the Sold Properties. In addition,
prior to its sale, the operating results at Park Plaza, exclusive of
depreciation and amortization, were significantly diminished in 1997 when
compared to 1996. Partially offsetting the decrease was the improved operating
results at Indian Ridge, as previously discussed, exclusive of depreciation and
amortization expense, and the increase in interest earned on the Partnership's
short-term investments.
The increase of $7,835,400 in the Partnership's cash position for the year
ended December 31, 1997 resulted primarily from the receipt of Sale Proceeds
from the December 18, 1997 sale of Park Plaza. Liquid assets (including cash,
cash equivalents and investments in debt securities) of the Partnership as of
December 31, 1997 were comprised of amounts held for working capital purposes
and undistributed Sale Proceeds.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $866,400 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to the absence of operations of Carrollton and
Southwest Freeway for a portion of 1997 and the diminished operating income at
Park Plaza, as previously discussed. Partially offsetting the decrease was the
improved operating results at Indian Ridge and the increase in interest income.
Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities changed from $(2,209,700)
for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $18,980,600 for the year ended December
31,1997. The change was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from the Sold
Properties as well as a reduction in the amount of investments in debt
securities.
The Partnership maintains working capital reserves to pay for capital
expenditures and spent $159,700 for capital, tenant improvement and leasing
costs during the year ended December 31, 1997. Approximately $60,000 is
budgeted to be spent during 1998 at Indian Ridge. Actual amounts expended may
vary depending on a number of factors including actual leasing activity and
other market conditions throughout the year. The General Partner believes these
improvements and leasing costs are necessary in order to increase and/or
maintain the occupancy levels in a very competitive market, maximize rental
rates charged to new and renewing tenants and prepare the remaining property
for disposition.
On January 17, 1997, Carrollton Crossroads Associates, a joint venture in which
the Partnership owns a 50% interest, completed the sale of Carrollton. The
Partnership's share of Sale Proceeds from this transaction amounted to
$8,846,500. On May 31, 1997, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, 75%
of the Sale Proceeds were distributed to the Limited Partners of record as of
January 17, 1997, with the remaining 25% remitted to the General Partner to
repay a portion of the Loan Payable to the General Partner. For further
information see Note 6 in Notes to Financial Statements.
On February 18, 1997, the joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 75%
interest completed the sale of Southwest Freeway. The Partnership's share of
Sale Proceeds from this transaction amounted to $2,460,700. On May 31, 1997, in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement, 75% of the Sale Proceeds were
distributed to Limited Partners of record as of February 18, 1997, with the
remaining 25% remitted to the General Partner to repay a portion of the Loan
Payable to the General Partner. For further information, see Note 6 in Notes to
the Financial Statements.
On December 18, 1997, a joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50%
interest completed the sale of Park Plaza. The Partnership's share of proceeds
from this sale amounted to $8,140,000. On May 31, 1998, $6,523,300 or $11.00
per Unit will be distributed to Limited Partners of record as of December 18,
1997. The remaining portion, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, will
be used to payoff the Loan Payable to the General Partner.
The increase in net cash used for financing activities of $10,405,800 was
primarily due to the distribution to Limited Partners and the partial repayment
of the Loan Payable to the General Partner from the Proceeds from the sales of
Carrollton and Southwest Freeway.
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has contracted for
substantially all of its business activities with certain principal entities
for which computer programs are utilized. Each of these companies is
financially responsible and have represented to management of the General
Partner that they are taking appropriate steps for modifications need to their
respective systems to accommodate processing data by Year 2000. Accordingly,
the Partnership anticipates incurring no material Year 2000 costs and is
currently not aware of any material contingencies related to this matter.
The General Partner continues to take a conservative approach to projections of
future rental income in its determination of adequate levels of cash reserves
due to capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs that may be necessary
at the Partnership's property during the next several years. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) retained
to supplement working capital reserves amounted to $767,200.
Distributions to Limited Partners for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 were
declared in the amount of $296,500, or $.50 per Unit. Cash distributions are
made 60 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter. The amount of future
distributions to Partners will ultimately be dependent upon the performance of
the Partnership's remaining property as well as the General Partner's
determination of the amount of cash necessary to supplement working capital
reserves to meet future liquidity requirements of the Partnership. Accordingly,
with the exception of the special distribution to Limited Partners on May 31,
1998 of Sale Proceeds totaling $6,523,300 or $11.00 per Unit, there can be no
assurance as to the amounts of cash for future distributions to Partners.
Based upon the current estimated fair value of its assets, net of its
outstanding liabilities, together with its expected operating results and
capital expenditure requirements, the General Partner believes that the
Partnership's cumulative distributions to its Limited Partners from inception
through the termination of the Partnership may be less than such Limited
Partners' original Capital Contributions.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- -------- ----------------------------------------------
(a) Certain Affiliates of the General Partner provide leasing, supervisory and
property management services to the Partnership. Compensation for these
property management services may not exceed 6% of the gross receipts from
the property being managed where the General Partner or Affiliates provide
leasing, re-leasing and leasing related services, or 3% of gross receipts
where the General Partner or Affiliates do not perform leasing, re-leasing
and leasing related services for a particular property. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, these Affiliates were entitled to leasing, supervisory
and property management fees of $123,300. In addition, other Affiliates of
the General Partner were entitled to receive $56,800 for fees and
reimbursements from the Partnership for insurance, personnel and other
services. Compensation for these services are on terms which are fair,
reasonable and no less favorable to the Partnership than reasonably could be
obtained from unaffiliated persons. A total of $800 of these amounts was due
to Affiliates as of December 31, 1997.
As of December 31, 1997, $40,200 was due to the General Partner for real
estate commissions earned in connection with the disposition and sale of
Partnership property. These commissions have been accrued but not paid.
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, these commissions will not be
paid until such time as the Limited Partners have received cumulative
distributions of Sale or Financing Proceeds equal to 100% of their Original
Capital Contribution, plus a cumulative return (including all Cash Flow
which has been distributed to Limited Partners) of 6% simple interest per
annum on their Capital Investment from the initial date of investment.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, as compensation for services
rendered in managing the affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner
shall be entitled to receive subsequent to May 4, 1988, the Termination of
the Offering, a Partnership Management Fee payable annually within 60 days
following the last day of each fiscal year, which shall be an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the net value of the Partnership's assets as of
the end of such fiscal year reflected on the Certificate of Value furnished
to the Limited Partners, plus, to the extent the Partnership Management Fee
paid in any prior year was less than 0.5% of the net value of the
Partnership's assets in such prior year, the amount of such deficit, or (ii)
an amount equal to the
12
<PAGE>
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
- -------- ----------------------------------------------
difference between 10% of the Partnership's aggregate Cash Flow (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) for the period from the Commencement of
Operations to the end of the fiscal year for which such Partnership
Management Fee is payable, and the aggregate amount previously paid to the
General Partner as a Partnership Management Fee. In addition, Sale Proceeds
are distributed: first, 75% to all Limited Partners and 25% to the General
Partner until the earlier of (i) receipt by Limited Partners of cumulative
distributions of Sale Proceeds in an amount equal to 100% of their Original
Capital Contribution, or (ii) receipt by the General Partner of cumulative
distributions of Sale Proceeds sufficient to repay all outstanding advances
to the Partnership from the General Partner; thereafter, to the General
Partner, until all outstanding advances, if any, to the Partnership from the
General Partner have been repaid; thereafter, to the Limited Partners, until
they have received cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds in an amount
equal to 100% of their Original Capital Contribution, plus an amount
(including Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)) equal to a
cumulative return of 6% per annum simple interest on their Capital
Investment from their investment date in the Partnership; thereafter, 85% to
all Limited Partners; and 15% to the General Partner, provided, however,
that no distribution of the General Partner's 15% share of Sale Proceeds
shall be made until Limited Partners have received the greater of (i) Sale
Proceeds plus Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) previously
received in excess of the Preferred Return equal to 125% of the Limited
Partners' Original Capital Contribution, or (ii) Sale Proceeds plus all Cash
Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) previously received equal to
their Original Capital Contribution plus a 10% per annum simple interest
return on their Capital Investment from the date of investment.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Net Profits (exclusive of Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of Partnership properties) shall be
allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of
such Net Profits or the Partnership Management Fee paid by the Partnership
to the General Partner during such year, and the balance, if any, to the
Limited Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale,
disposition or provision for value impairment of Partnership properties) are
allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of a Partnership property are
allocated: first, prior to giving effect to any distributions of Sale
Proceeds from the transaction, to the General Partner and Limited Partners
with negative balances in their Capital Accounts, pro rata in proportion to
such respective negative balances, to the extent of the total of such
negative balances; second, to each Limited Partner in an amount, if any,
necessary to make the positive balance in its Capital Account equal to the
Sale Proceeds to be distributed to such Limited Partner with respect to the
sale or disposition of such property; third, to the General Partner in an
amount, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in its Capital
Account equal to the Sale Proceeds to be distributed to the General Partner
with respect to the sale or disposition of such property; and fourth, the
balance, if any, 15% to the General Partner and 85% to the Limited Partners.
Net Losses from the sale, disposition or provision for value impairment of
Partnership properties are allocated: first, after giving effect to any
distributions of Sale Proceeds from the transaction to the General Partner
and Limited Partners with positive balances in their Capital Accounts, pro
rata in proportion to such respective positive balances, to the extent of
the total amount of such positive balances; and second, the balance, if any,
1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, there shall be allocated to the General Partner
not less than 1% of all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit during the existence of the Partnership. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, the General Partner was paid a Partnership Management Fee
of $113,400 and was allocated Net Profits of $424,000, which included
$310,600 from the sales of three Partnership properties.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner made
advances to the Partnership in cumulative amounts equal to the Acquisition
Fees and the Partnership Management
13
<PAGE>
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (Continued)
- -------- ----------------------------------------------
Fees which were paid to the General Partner or its Affiliates for
distribution to the Limited Partners on a pro rata basis to the extent that
Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) was less than sufficient
to distribute cash in amounts equal to the Limited Partners' Preferred
Return (7.5% per annum noncompounding cumulative return on the Limited
Partners' Capital Investment); provided, however, that the maximum amount
which shall be advanced to the Partnership by the General Partner for
distribution to the Limited Partners shall be the amount of Acquisition Fees
and Partnership Management Fees actually paid to the General Partner or its
Affiliates. Amounts advanced bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum
simple interest, payable monthly. Repayment of amounts advanced shall be
made only from Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) if and to
the extent it is more than sufficient to distribute cash to the Limited
Partners in amounts equal to the Limited Partners' Preferred Return and from
Sale Proceeds to the extent permitted in the Partnership Agreement. During
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the General Partner advanced its
Partnership Management Fee for the year ended December 31, 1996 of $153,400
to the Partnership. On May 31, 1997, $2,830,400 was repaid to the General
Partner in conjunction with the distribution of Sales Proceeds to Limited
Partners from the sales of Carrollton and Southwest Freeway. As of December
31, 1997, the loan has an outstanding balance of $1,569,500, which
represents the total amount of the General Partner's current commitment. In
May 1998, the remaining balance will be repaid with a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of Park Plaza.

for these services are on terms which are fair, reasonable and no less
favorable to the Partnership than reasonably could be obtained from
unaffiliated persons.
(c) No management person is indebted to the Partnership.
(d) None.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Capital Institutional

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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of First Capital Institutional
Real Estate, Ltd. - 4 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended

Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS:
Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have
in the Partnership's Registration Statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form S-11. Definitions of these terms are contained in
Article III of the First Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of
Limited Partnership, which is included in the Registration Statement and
incorporated herein by reference.
ORGANIZATION:
The Partnership was formed on May 20, 1986, by the filing of a Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership with the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County,
Illinois, and commenced the Offering of Units on November 5, 1986. On December
15, 1986, the required minimum subscription level was reached and Partnership
operations commenced. The Offering was Terminated on May 4, 1988 with 593,025
Units sold. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in existing,
improved, income-producing commercial real estate.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will be dissolved on or
before December 31, 2016. The Limited Partners, by a majority vote, may
dissolve the Partnership at any time.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Partnership utilizes the accrual
method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when incurred.
Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP
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.
The financial statements include the Partnership's 50% interest in two joint
ventures and a 75% interest in one joint venture with Affiliated partnerships.
Each of these ventures were formed for the purpose of each acquiring a 100%
interest in certain real property and are operated under the common control of
the General Partner. Accordingly, the Partnership's pro rata share of the
ventures' revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and Partners' capital was
included in the financial statements.
The Partnership is not liable for federal income taxes as the Partners
recognize their proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss on their
individual tax returns; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the
financial statements of the Partnership. In addition, it is not practicable for
the Partnership to determine the aggregate tax bases of the individual
Partners; therefore, the disclosure of the difference between the tax bases and
the reported assets and liabilities of the Partnership would not be meaningful.
Commercial rental properties are recorded at cost, net of any provisions for
value impairment, and depreciated (exclusive of amounts allocated to land) on
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Lease acquisition
fees are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the lease. Repair and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; expenditures for improvements are
capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of such improvements.
The Partnership evaluates its commercial rental property for impairment when
conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of
expected future cash flows (undiscounted) from the property are less than its
carrying basis. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, the
carrying basis in the rental property is reduced to its estimated fair value.
Except as disclosed in Note 7, the General Partner was not aware of any
indicator that would result in a significant impairment loss during the periods
reported.
Property sales are recorded when title transfers and sufficient consideration
has been received by the Partnership. Upon disposition, the related costs and
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the respective
accounts. Any gain or loss on sale or disposition is recognized in accordance
with GAAP.
Cash equivalents are considered all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased.
Investments in debt securities are comprised of corporate debt securities and
are classified as held-to-maturity. These investments are carried at their
amortized cost basis in the financial statements, which approximated fair
value. All of these securities had maturities of less than one year when
purchased.
The Partnership's financial statements include financial instruments, including
receivables, trade and other liabilities and the loan payable to the General
Partner. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, was not materially different from their carrying value at December
31, 1997 and 1996.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, as compensation for services
rendered in managing the affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner shall
be entitled to receive subsequent to May 4, 1988, the Termination of the
Offering, a Partnership Management Fee payable annually within 60 days
following the last day of each fiscal year, which shall be an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the net value of the Partnership's assets as of the
end of such fiscal year reflected on the Certificate of Value furnished to the
Limited Partners, plus, to the extent the Partnership Management Fee paid in
any prior year was less than 0.5% of the net value of the Partnership's assets
in such prior year, the amount of such deficit, or (ii) an amount equal to the
difference between 10% of the Partnership's aggregate Cash Flow (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement) for the period from the Commencement of Operations
to the end of the fiscal year for which such Partnership Management Fee is
payable, and the aggregate amount previously paid to the General Partner as a
Partnership Management

<PAGE>
Fee. In addition, Sale Proceeds are distributed: first, 75% to all Limited
Partners and 25% to the General Partner until the earlier of (i) receipt by
Limited Partners of cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds in an amount
equal to 100% of their Original Capital Contribution, or (ii) receipt by the
General Partner of cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds sufficient to
repay all outstanding advances to the Partnership from the General Partner;
thereafter, to the General Partner, until all outstanding advances, if any, to
the Partnership from the General Partner have been repaid; thereafter, to the
Limited Partners, until they have received cumulative distributions of Sale
Proceeds in an amount equal to 100% of their Original Capital Contribution,
plus an amount (including Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement))
equal to a cumulative return of 6% per annum simple interest on their Capital
Investment from their investment date in the Partnership; thereafter, 85% to
all Limited Partners; and 15% to the General Partner, provided, however, that
no distribution of the General Partner's 15% share of Sale Proceeds shall be
made until Limited Partners have received the greater of (i) Sale Proceeds plus
Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) previously received in
excess of the Preferred Return equal to 125% of the Limited Partners' Original
Capital Contribution, or (ii) Sale Proceeds plus all Cash Flow (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement) previously received equal to their Original Capital
Contribution plus a 10% per annum simple interest return on their Capital
Investment from the date of investment.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Net Profits (exclusive of Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of Partnership properties) shall be
allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of
such Net Profits or the Partnership Management Fee paid by the Partnership to
the General Partner during such year, and the balance, if any, to the Limited
Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale, disposition or
provision for value impairment of Partnership properties) are allocated 1% to
the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net Profits from the sale
or disposition of a Partnership property are allocated: first, prior to giving
effect to any distributions of Sale Proceeds from the transaction, to the
General Partner and Limited Partners with negative balances in their Capital
Accounts, pro rata in proportion to such respective negative balances, to the
extent of the total of such negative balances; second, to each Limited Partner
in an amount, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in its Capital
Account equal to the Sale Proceeds to be distributed to such Limited Partner
with respect to the sale or disposition of such property; third, to the General
Partner in an amount, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in its
Capital Account equal to the Sale Proceeds to be distributed to the General
Partner with respect to the sale or disposition of such property; and fourth,
the balance, if any, 15% to the General Partner and 85% to the Limited
Partners. Net Losses from the sale, disposition or provision for value
impairment of Partnership properties are allocated: first, after giving effect
to any distributions of Sale Proceeds from the transaction to the General
Partner and Limited Partners with positive balances in their Capital Accounts,
pro rata in proportion to such respective positive balances, to the extent of
the total amount of such positive balances; and second, the balance, if any, 1%
to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, there shall be allocated to the General Partner not
less than 1% of all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit during the existence of the Partnership. For the year ended December 31,
1997, the General Partner was paid a Partnership Management Fee of $113,400 and
was allocated Net Profits of $424,000, which included $310,600 from the sales
of three Partnership properties. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the
General Partner was paid a Partnership Management Fee, and was allocated Net
Profits of $153,400. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the General Partner
was paid a Partnership Management Fee of $161,200 and was allocated Net Profits
of $137,200, which included a (loss) from provisions for value impairment of
$(24,000).
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner made advances
to the Partnership in cumulative amounts equal to the Acquisition Fees and the
Partnership Management Fees which were paid to the General Partner or its
Affiliates for distribution to the Limited Partners on a pro rata basis to the
extent that Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) was less than
sufficient to distribute cash in amounts equal to the Limited Partners'
Preferred Return (7.5% per annum noncompounding cumulative return on the
Limited Partners' Capital Investment); provided, however, that the maximum
amount which shall be advanced to the Partnership by the General Partner for
distribution to the Limited Partners shall be the amount of Acquisition Fees
and Partnership Management Fees actually paid to the General Partner or its
Affiliates. Amounts advanced shall bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum
simple interest, payable monthly. Repayment of amounts advanced shall be made
only from Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) if and to the
extent it is more than sufficient to distribute cash to the Limited Partners in
amounts equal to the Limited Partners' Preferred Return and from Sale Proceeds
to the extent permitted in the Partnership Agreement. As of December 31, 1997,
the outstanding balance on the loan was $1,569,500, which represents the total
amount of the General Partner's current commitment. On May 31, 1997, $2,830,400
was repaid to the General Partner in conjunction with the distribution of Sales
Proceeds to Limited Partners from the sales of Carrollton and Southwest
Freeway. In May 1998 the Partnership intends to repay the outstanding balance
of the Loan with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Park Plaza. For
further information, see Note 6.

(a) As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owed $40,200 to the General
Partner for real estate commissions earned in connection with the sales of
Partnership properties. These commissions have been accrued but not paid.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership will not pay
the General Partner or any Affiliates a real estate commission from the
sale of a Partnership property until Limited Partners have received
cumulative distributions of Sale or Financing Proceeds equal to 100% of
their Original Capital Contribution, plus a cumulative return (including
all Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which has been
distributed to the Limited Partners from the initial investment date) of 6%
simple interest per annum on their Capital Investment.
On-site property management for the Partnership's properties is provided by an
Affiliate and an independent property management group for a fee equal to 3% of
gross rents received from the properties. The Affiliate and independent
property management group are entitled to a leasing fee equal to 3% of gross
rents received, reduced by leasing fees paid to third parties up to but not
exceeding the 3% leasing fee.
3. RESTRICTED CASH:
Restricted cash includes a negotiable certificate in the amount of $50,000,
which has been pledged as collateral for utility deposits to the Houston
Lighting & Power Company. In March 1998, this deposit was refunded in
connection with the sale of Park Plaza in December 1997.
4. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTALS:
The Partnership's share of future minimum rental income due on noncancelable
leases as of December 31, 1997 was as follows:

2002 1,011,700

</TABLE>
The Partnership is subject to the usual business risks associated with the
collection of the above-scheduled rentals. In addition to the amounts scheduled
above, the Partnership expects to receive rental revenue from operating expense
and real estate tax expense reimbursements and percentage rents. Percentage
rents earned for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $22,700,
$196,900 and $84,300, respectively, which included percentage rent from
Carrollton of $5,600, $67,400 and $79,300.
5. INCOME TAX:
The Partnership utilizes the accrual basis of accounting for both income tax
reporting and financial statement purposes. Financial statement results will
differ from income tax results due to the use of differing depreciation lives
and methods, the recognition of rents received in advance as taxable income and
the Partnership's provisions for value impairment. The (loss) for tax reporting
purposes was $(1,617,300) for the year ended December 31, 1997. The aggregate
cost of commercial rental properties for federal income tax purposes at
December 31, 1997 was $18,943,500.
6. PROPERTY SALES:
On January 17, 1997, a joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50%
interest, consummated the sale of Carrollton, located in Carrollton, Georgia,
for a sale price of $18,100,000, of which the Partnership's share was
$9,050,000. The Partnership's share of net proceeds from this transaction was
$8,846,500, which was net of closing expenses. The Partnership reported a gain
of $372,600 during the year ended December 31, 1997 in connection with this
sale. On May 31, 1997, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, 75% of the
net proceeds were distributed to Limited Partners of record as of January 17,
1997, with the remaining 25% remitted to the General Partner to repay a portion
of the loan payable to the General Partner. The Partnership reported a gain of
$190,500 for tax reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 1997 in
connection with this sale.
On February 18, 1997, the joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 75%
interest, consummated the sale of Southwest Freeway, located in Houston, Texas,
for a sale price of $3,425,000, of which the Partnership's share was
$2,568,800. The Partnership's share of net proceeds from this transaction was
$2,460,800, which was net of closing expenses. The Partnership reported a gain
of $729,700 during the year ended December 31, 1997 in connection with this
sale. On May 31, 1997, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, 75% of the
net proceeds were distributed to Limited Partners of record as of February 18,
1997, with the remaining 25% remitted to the General Partner to repay a portion
of the loan payable to the General Partner. The Partnership reported a (loss)
of $(504,000) for tax reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 1997
in connection with this sale.
On December 18, 1997, a joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50%
interest, consummated the sale of Park Plaza, located in Houston, Texas, for a
sale price of $16,900,000, of which the Partnership's share was $8,450,000. The
Partnership's share of net proceeds from this transaction was $8,140,000 which
was net of actual and estimated closing expenses. The Partnership reported a
loss of $61,900 during the year ended December 31, 1997 in connection with this
sale. The Partnership intends to pay a distribution of $6,523,300 or $11.00 per
Unit on May 31, 1998 to Limited Partners of record as of December 18, 1997. The
Partnership reported a (loss) of $(2,606,400) for tax reporting purposes for
the year ended December 31, 1997 in connection with this sale.

7. PROVISIONS FOR VALUE IMPAIRMENT:
Due to the depressed economic environment in the retail industry, regional
factors affecting the Partnership's retail and office properties and other
matters relating specifically to certain of the Partnership's properties, there
was uncertainty as to the Partnership's ability to recover the net carrying
value of certain of its properties during the remaining estimated holding
periods. Accordingly, it was deemed appropriate to reduce the bases of such
properties in the Partnership's financial statements during the year ended
December 31, 1995. The provisions for value impairment were considered non-cash
events for the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows and were not utilized
in the determination of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).
The following is a summary of the provisions for value impairment reported by
the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1995:
