NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policy:
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying statements for the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1997, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature.
2. Partnership Termination:
The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. During 1996, the Partnership sold its minority joint venture
interest in the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. During 1997, the
Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments. Currently, the Partnership is
actively marketing for sale its remaining property, the Evanston Plaza Shopping
Center. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution
of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies
which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees
stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited
to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 6 of Notes to the Financial Statements. In
the absence of any contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months
of the last property being sold. In the event a contingency exists, reserves
may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time.
3. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1997 are:
Paid
----------------------
Six Months Quarter Payable
------------ --------- ----------
Reimbursement of expenses to
the General Partner, at cost $ 46,937 $ 27,623 $ 77,130
4. Property Sale:
In May 1997, the Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments in an all cash sale
for $13,300,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $525,090
in selling costs. The basis of the property was $8,556,811, which is net of
accumulated depreciation of $5,051,642. For financial statement purposes, the
Partnership recognized a gain of $4,218,099 from the sale of this property.
<PAGE>
5. Investment in Joint Venture with Affiliates:
The 45 West 45th Street Office Building was owned by a joint venture consisting
of the Partnership and three affiliates. During November 1996, the joint
venture sold the property. Pursuant to the sale agreement, $500,000 of the sale
proceeds was retained by the joint venture and was unavailable for distribution
until April 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The
Partnership's share of these proceeds was $76,101.
6. Contingencies:
(a) The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership,
the General Partner and certain third parties have been named as defendants
seeking damages relating to tender offers to purchase interests in the
Partnership and nine affiliated partnerships initiated by the third party
defendants in 1996. The defendants continue to vigorously contest this action.
The action has been dismissed with prejudice and plaintiffs have filed an
appeal. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable
decision in this action would have a material adverse impact on the financial
position, operations and liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership believes
it has meritorious defenses to contest the claims.
(b) The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership
and certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging certain federal
securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of
disclosures of information concerning, as well as the marketing efforts related
to, the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership. The
defendants continue to vigorously contest this action. A plaintiff class has
not yet been certified, and no determination of the merits have been made. It
is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this
action would have a material adverse impact on the financial position,
operations and liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership believes it has
meritorious defenses to contest the claims.
7. Subsequent Event:
In July 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of $13,867,468 ($74.79 per
Taxable Interest and $74.76 per Tax-exempt Interest) to the holders of Limited
Partnership Interests for the second quarter of 1997. This distribution
includes the regular quarterly distribution from Cash Flow of $2.29 per Taxable
Interest and $2.26 per Tax-exempt Interest, and a special distribution from
Mortgage Reductions of $72.50 per Taxable and Tax-exempt Interest primarily
from the proceeds received in connection with the May 1997 sale of the
Gleneagles Apartments.

(An Illinois Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Balcor Equity Pension Investors-IV A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1986 to make first mortgage
loans and to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The
Partnership raised $46,371,500 through the sale of Limited Partnership
Interests and utilized these proceeds to fund one acquisition loan and acquire
two real property investments. During 1996, the Partnership sold the property
in which it held a minority joint venture interest. In May 1997, the
Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments. Currently, the Partnership is
actively marketing for sale its remaining property, the Evanston Plaza Shopping
Center.
Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual report for 1996 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.
Operations
- ----------
Summary of Operations
- ---------------------
In May 1997, the Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments and recognized a
gain which resulted in an increase in net income during the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996. Further
discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.
1997 Compared to 1996
- ---------------------
Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1997 and 1996 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
The Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments in May 1997 and recognized a
gain of $4,218,099 for financial statement purposes. This sale also resulted in
decreases in rental and service income, depreciation, property operating
expense, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1997 as compared
to 1996.
Due to higher average cash balances as a result of the proceeds received in
connection with the sale of the Gleneagles Apartments prior to distribution to
Limited Partners in July 1997, interest income on short-term investments
increased during 1997 as compared to 1996.
In April 1997, the Partnership entered a settlement agreement with the
manufacturer of the roof at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center relating to
<PAGE>
alleged defects. The Partnership received $276,068 in satisfaction of its
claims. The amount received was recognized by the Partnership as settlement
income for financial statement purposes.
The Partnership incurred higher professional fees of approximately $103,000 in
1996 in connection with the valuation of the Partnership's real estate assets,
which was the primary reason for the decrease in administrative expenses during
1997 as compared to 1996. However, the Partnership incurred higher accounting,
consulting, legal and portfolio management fees during 1997 of approximately
$89,000 relating to property sales and class action litigation which partially
offset the decrease.
The 45 West 45th Street Office Building, in which the Partnership held a
minority joint venture interest, was sold during November 1996. As a result,
participation in income of joint venture with affiliates ceased during 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $11,334,000 as
of June 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 primarily due to the proceeds
received in connection with the sale of Gleneagles Apartments in May 1997. Cash
flow of approximately $1,052,000 was provided by operating activities during
1997 consisting of cash flow from the operations of properties, settlement
income related to Evanston Plaza Shopping Center and interest income on
short-term investments, which were partially offset by the payment of
administrative expenses. Cash from the Partnership's investing activities
consisted of the net proceeds received in connection with the sale of the
Gleneagles Apartments of approximately $12,775,000 and the release of the
Partnership's share of the holdback related to the sale of the 45 West 45th
Street Office Building of approximately $76,000. Financing activities consisted
of distributions to the Partners of approximately $2,569,000. In addition, in
July 1997 the Partnership made a special distribution of $13,447,735 to the
Limited Partners.
The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit, or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's
rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its
properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property
related expenditures. The Gleneagles Apartments generated positive cash flow
prior to its sale in May 1997 and during 1996. During 1997 and 1996, the
Evanston Plaza Shopping Center generated positive cash flow. The 45 West 45th
Street Office Building, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture
interest with affiliates, generated positive cash flow prior to its sale in
November 1996. As of June 30, 1997, the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center had an
occupancy rate of 79%.
The Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments in May 1997 and is actively
marketing for sale its remaining property, the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.
The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash
will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which
<PAGE>
exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees
stemming from litigation involving the Partnership. In the absence of any
contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last
property being sold. In the event a contingency exists, reserves may be held by
the Partnership for a longer period of time.
In May 1997, the Partnership sold the Gleneagles Apartments in an all cash sale
for $13,300,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $525,090
in selling costs. The remainder of the available proceeds were distributed to
the Limited Partners in July 1997. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements
for additional information.
The 45 West 45th Street Office Building was owned by a joint venture consisting
of the Partnership and three affiliates. During November 1996, the joint
venture sold the property. Pursuant to the sale agreement, $500,000 of the sale
proceeds was retained by the joint venture and was unavailable for distribution
until April 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The
Partnership's share of these proceeds was $76,101.
In July 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of $13,867,468 ($74.79 per
Taxable Interest and $74.76 per Tax-exempt Interest) to the holders of Limited
Partnership Interests for the second quarter of 1997. This distribution
includes the regular quarterly distribution from Cash Flow of $2.29 per Taxable
Interest and $2.26 per Tax-exempt Interest and a special distribution from
Mortgage Reductions of $72.50 per Taxable and Tax-exempt Interest primarily
from the proceeds received in connection with the May 1997 sale of the
Gleneagles Apartments. The level of the regular quarterly distribution is
consistent with the amount distributed for the first quarter of 1997. Including
the July 1997 distribution, Limited Partners have received cumulative
distributions of $179.28 per $250 Taxable Interest, of which $97.71 represents
Cash Flow from operations and $81.57 represents a return of Original Capital,
and $177.10 per $250 Tax-exempt Interest, of which $95.53 represents Cash Flow
from operations and $81.57 represents a return of Original Capital. In July
1997, the Partnership also paid $34,978 to the General Partner as its
distributive share of the second quarter of 1997 distribution, and made a
contribution to the Repurchase Fund of $11,659. Since only one property
remains, future quarterly distributions from Cash Flow are not expected to be
made. Future distributions will be made from available sales proceeds from the
Evanston Plaza Shopping Center, as to which there can be no assurances. In
light of results to date, the General Partner does not anticipate that
investors will recover all of their original investment.
In February 1997, the Partnership discontinued the repurchase of Interests from
Limited Partners.
Changing interest rates can impact real estate values in several ways.
Generally, declining interest rates may lower the cost of capital allowing
buyers to pay more for a property whereas rising interest rates may increase
the cost of capital and lower the price of real estate.
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate
investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.
