RAL YIELD + EQUITIES IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pursuant to Rule 10-01(a)(5) of Regulation S-X (17 CFR Part 210)
RAL Yield + Equities IV Limited Partnership is omitting its
footnote disclosure. The disclosure is being omitted since it
substantially duplicates the disclosure contained in the most
recent annual report to security holders, Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The Registrant has presumed
that users of the interim financial information have read or have
access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal
year. Copies of the audited financial statements will be furnished
upon request.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial
statements presented herein reflect all adjustments necessary to
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
Events which have occurred subsequent to the end of the most
recent fiscal year which would have a material impact on the
Partnership are discussed in the following section.
I-6
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RAL YIELD + EQUITIES IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP is a Wisconsin
Limited Partnership formed on August 8, 1986, under the Wisconsin
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership was
formed to acquire new and existing income-producing properties for
cash.
The Partnership purchased a total of fifteen income-producing
properties. The Partnership originally purchased six mobile home
communities (three in Wisconsin and three in Minnesota) and two
garden apartment complexes located in Ohio and Maryland. The
Partnership also originally purchased the following commercial
properties: a restaurant located in Longmont, Colorado;
two retail auto parts and service stores located in Menasha,
Wisconsin and Neenah, Wisconsin; a mobile home park office
located in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and three Hardee's restaurants,
located in Mundelein, Illinois; Joliet, Illinois; and Eagan,
Minnesota.
The Partnership sold one of the mobile home communities and two
of the commercial properties during 1993. An additional commercial
property was sold in 1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Properties acquired by the Partnership are intended to be held
for approximately seven to ten years. During the Properties'
holding periods, the investment strategy is to maintain (on the
"triple net lease" restaurant properties) and improve (on the
residential properties) occupancy rates through the application of
professional property management (including selective capital
improvements). Cash flow generated from property operations is
distributed to the partners on a quarterly basis. The Partnership
also accumulates working capital reserves for normal repairs,
replacements, working capital, and contingencies.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30 was $514,842 in 1996 and $559,431 in 1995. The 8%
decrease in operating cash flow from 1995 to 1996 is a result of
several items:
1. The Hardee's tenant in the commercial properties located in
Mundelein and Joliet, Illinois stopped paying rent in February,
1996. The tenant is having extreme financial difficulties and has
closed the Mundelein store and will probably be closing the Joliet
store in the near future. The tenant would like to buy the two
buildings and address back rent owed in the same deal. Due to
their precarious financial position, the Partnership had been
accruing rent due it and immediately recording a bad debt expense.
Beginning May, 1996 rent revenue due and the corresponding bad debt
I-7
expense will no longer be accrued on the financial statements
(essentially this had a zero impact on net income). A receivable
is still recorded each month to track the total amount owed to the
Partnership but is offset with an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The four months (March, 1996-June, 1996) of unpaid rent amount to
about $51,000 in reduced cash flow.
2. Due to the severe winter, snow removal is $9,500 higher than
last year.
3. Most of our utility expenses have seen a general increase over
the prior year.
As of June 30, 1996 the Partnership had cash of approximately
$276,000 consisting of undistributed cash flow, working capital
reserves, and tenant security deposits. Current liabilities
totaled approximately $403,000.
The Partnership has not experienced, and is not currently
experiencing any liquidity problems. It is not expected that the
Partnership will experience liquidity problems, in light of the
excess of current liabilities over cash on hand, due to the
nature of the current liabilities. Approximately $145,000 of the
current liabilities represent tenant security deposits. The
majority of current liabilities are accrued and escrowed real
estate taxes payable in installments during 1996 and 1997. The
Partnership expects to meet all of its obligations as they come
due.
A distribution of cash flow from operations totaling
approximately $236,000 was made to the Limited Partners in May,
1996. Total limited partner distributions made during 1995 were
approximately $945,550.
As discussed above, the Partnership is experiencing one tenant
delinquency problem with its Hardee's tenants in Mundelein and
Joliet, Illinois. Although the tenant had been paying rent each
month, they did not pay the rent increase that went into effect in
1992. This resulted in a shortfall of rent paid each month of
approximately $2,300 for the two stores. The Partnership has not
received any rent from them since February, 1996. The total now
due the Partnership is $183,000. About $105,000 of this amount has
been reserved for. The tenant has offered to purchase both
buildings and negotiate a settlement of the lease. Nothing has
been finalized regarding these negotiations and cash flow will
therefore continue to be negatively impacted by the loss of this
rental income. Once the buildings are sold, however, a return of
capital will be made to limited partners and any money received
towards the lease settlement will also be available for
distribution.
I-8
South Hills mobile home park, located in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, has
been experiencing problems with frequent leaks in its water lines.
The solution to this problem is a complete replacement of the water
lines. The total cost to do this has been estimated at $300,000.
To begin to cover this expense, the Partnership will be reserving
$100,000 of the last property sale (see below). The rest of this
expense will probably be paid for through a loan.
On July 31, 1996 the Partnership sold Parkwood Estates mobile home
park, located in Willmar, Minnesota, for $525,000. After deducting
selling costs and the remaining $61,000 due on a special assessment
to the village of Willmar, the Partnership received cash of
$400,000. As noted above, $100,000 of these funds are being
reserved to pay for replacement of water lines at South Hills
mobile home park. The remaining $300,000 will be distributed to
limited partners as a capital distribution in August, 1996.
Results of Operations:
Gross revenues for the six months ended June 30 were
$1,146,903 in 1996 compared to $1,150,562 in 1995. Total expenses
for the six months ended June 30 were $869,049 in 1996 and
$768,220 in 1995.
Net income for the six months ended June 30 was $262,436 in
1996 compared to $366,400 in 1995.
The reasons for the decreased revenue and increased expenses are
detailed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above.
Three additional items, which do not affect cash flow but do affect
total expenses are as follows:
1. The write-off of rent due from the two Hardee's restaurants
caused a $30,000 increase in bad debt expense in 1996 in
comparison to 1995.
2. Depreciation expense has increased over $16,000 in the first
half of 1996 versus the same period of 1995.
3. Real estate taxes were about $15,000 lower in the first half of
1995 due to an adjustment made in the first half of 1995 for an
overaccrual made in 1994. The actual tax bill received in 1995 for
the 1994 taxes on the apartment complex located in Canton, Ohio was
about $13,000 less than expected. The remainder of the difference
represents a general increase in real estate tax amounts among all
the properties.
I-9
The leases of the commercial properties are currently paying rent
based on the minimum lease payments. Certain tenant leases
provide for rental payments based on a percentage of purchase price
of the properties or a percentage of sales whichever is greater.
None of the Partnership's tenants are currently generating a sales
volume which would trigger percentage rent.

occupancy rates for the Partnership's residential properties

</TABLE>
Inflation:
Due to the relatively low level of inflation since the Partnership
commenced operations, the effect of inflation on the Partnership
has not been material to date. Should the rate of inflation
increase substantially over the life of the Partnership, it is
likely to influence ongoing operations, in particular, the
operating expenses of the Partnership. All commercial leases
contain clauses permitting pass-through of certain increased
operating costs. Residential leases are typically of one year or
less in duration; this allows the Partnership to react quickly
(through rental increases) to changes in the level of inflation.
These factors should serve to reduce, to a certain degree, any
impact of rising costs on the Partnership.
