NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's
financial position as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and the
results of its operations, its cash flows and partners' capital for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.

     See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's
financial statements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
- ----------------------------------

     Copley Realty Income Partners 4; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing
primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real properties.
The Partnership commenced operations in September 1989, and acquired its real
estate investments prior to 1991. The Partnership sold its last remaining real
estate investment in August 1999 and, therefore, intends to liquidate and
dissolve in 2000.

NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES
- -----------------------------------

     On August 27, 1999, the Shasta Way joint venture, in which the Partnership
and an affiliate own a 42% and 58% interest, respectively, sold its property to
an unaffiliated third party for gross proceeds of $13,057,000, of which the
Partnership's share was $5,483,940. The Partnership received its 42% share of
the net proceeds, $5,404,521 after closing costs, and recognized a gain of
$1,974,170 ($163.81 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. On September 22,
1999 the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,297,364 ($444.00 per
limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- -----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
- -------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in December 1990 and a total of 11,931 units were sold. The Partnership
received proceeds of $10,097,962, net of selling commissions and other offering
costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related
acquisition costs, or retained as working capital reserves.

     In July 1995, the Partnership reduced its working capital reserves by
making a capital distribution of $441,447 ($37 per limited partnership unit).
After the distribution, the Partnership's adjusted capital contribution was $963
per unit.

     On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,791,854
($234 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Hohokam, which
reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $729 per unit. On November 24,
1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,004,408 ($168 per
limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Fairmont, which reduced the
adjusted capital contribution to $561 per unit.

     On September 22, 1999 the Partnership made a capital distribution of
$5,297,364 ($444 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Shasta
Way, which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $117 per unit.

     At September 30, 1999, the Partnership had $1,410,169 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $109,187 was used for cash distributions to the partners
on October 28, 1999; the remainder is being retained primarily as a reserve in
the event of any claims for breach of representations or warranties in
connection with the sale of the Shasta Way property on August 27, 1999 and as an
additional reserve in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership.
Distributions of cash from operations related to the first three quarters of
1998 were made at the annualized rate of 7.0% on the adjusted capital
contribution of $561 per unit. Cash distributions from operations related to the
first two quarters of 1999 were made at the annualized rate of 5.5% on the
adjusted capital contribution of $561 per unit. Cash distributions related to
the third quarter of 1999 were made at the annualized rate of 7% on the weighted
average capital contribution of $517.57 per unit. The increase in the
distribution rate was due to higher cash receipts from the Shasta Way joint
venture due to a later than anticipated sale date.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
- ------------------------------

     The Year 2000 Issue is a result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business operations.

     The Partnership relies on AEW Capital Management L.P. ("AEW Capital
Management"), the parent of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc., to generate
financial information and to provide other services which are dependent on the
use of computers. The Partnership has obtained assurances from AEW Capital
Management that:

     .    AEW Capital Management has developed a Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan")
          consisting of five phases: inventory, assessment, testing,
          remediation/repair and certification.

     .    As of September 30, 1998, AEW Capital Management had completed the
          inventory and assessment phases of this Plan and had commenced the
          testing and remediation/repair of internal systems.

     .    AEW Capital Management concluded the internal testing,
          remediation/repair and certifications of its Plan in June 1999.

     .    AEW Capital Management successfully participated in industry-wide
          testing in August 1999.

     .    AEW Capital Management believes it is ready for Year 2000. AEW Capital
          Management has advised the Partnership that being ready means that AEW
          Capital Management has tested its internal mission critical systems
          and software applications, and based upon testing conducted, AEW
          Capital Management believes that such systems and applications are
          prepared to process dates correctly through the Year 2000.

     Based upon these assurances, the Partnership has determined that it is not
necessary for it to develop a Year 2000 contingency plan.

     Because the Partnership has sold all of its real property investments, the
Partnership no longer relies on joint venture partners and/or property managers
to supply financial and other data with respect to its real properties with the
exception of year-end audited statements. Consequently, the Partnership does not
have any material provider of data other than AEW Capital Management.

     The Partnership is subject to external forces that might generally affect
industry and commerce, such as utility or transportation company Year 2000
compliance failures and related service interruptions. Given the nature of its
operations, the Partnership will not incur any costs associated with Year 2000
compliance. All such costs are borne by AEW Capital Management.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Investment Results

          Joint venture earnings from Shasta Way were $42,898 and $205,813 for
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
compared to $66,145 and $198,769 for the comparable periods ended September 30,
1998. The three month decrease of $23,247 is due to the sale of Shasta Way in
August 1999. The overall nine month increase of $7,044 is a result of a rental
increase effective June 30, 1998.

          Interest on cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $400
and $8,200 between the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999,
compared with the same periods in 1998. The decrease is primarily due to lower
average investment balances in 1999 due to the sale of the Shasta Way property.

     Portfolio Expenses

          General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate
appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses
did not change significantly during the comparable three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

          The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner. Management fees decreased by $907
and increased by $4,076, respectively, between the comparable three and nine
month periods ending September 30, 1999 and 1998. The three month decrease is a
result of lower cash distributions. The overall nine month increase is due to
management fees incurred related to the special distribution from the operating
reserve made in April 1999.
