BUSINESS RAL YIELD + EQUITIES IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Registrant" or "Partnership") is a Wisconsin Limited Partnership formed on August 8, 1986, under the Wisconsin Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Registrant was organized to acquire, for cash (no debt), real estate projects, including real estate for restaurants, mobile home communities, apartment complexes and other commercial properties. The Partnership sold $19,620,500 in Limited Partnership Interests (19,620.5 Interests at $1,000 per unit) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire the real property investments described under "Properties" (Item 2). The Registrant originally acquired fourteen real property investments, utilizing the net offering proceeds available for investment. The Registrant sold three of the original properties during 1993. A fourth property was sold during 1994, and a fifth was sold in 1996. Provided below is certain financial information by property type for the three years covered by this report:
Apartment Mobile Home Commercial Complexes Parks Properties ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- 1996 1995 1994 1996 1995 1994 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Number of properties 2 2 2 4 5 5 3 3 3 owned at December 31: Gross rental revenues $998 $990 $978 $979 $1,028 $1,000 $210 $210 $193
The officers and employees of RAL Asset Management Group, a Wisconsin General Partnership, and its affiliates, performed services for the Registrant until June 1, 1993. RAL Asset Management Group is controlled by the General Partners of the Partnership. Effective June 1, 1993 the Partnership made separate property and partnership management agreements. The partnership management agreement is with an unrelated management company. The property management agreement is with a related entity with the same general partners as the Partnership. The related property management firm simultaneously subcontracted with the same unrelated management company handling the partnership management. The terms and conditions of these agreements are similar to the above related party agreements, which they replace. The Registrant itself employs individual onsite managers and maintenance personnel in the mobile home parks and apartment complexes. The Registrant employed 16 at March 28, 1997. Item 2. PROPERTIES As of March 28, 1997, the Registrant owned the following properties: Name, Type of Date of Property and Location Purchase Approximate Size - --------------------- -------- ------------------------ South Hills 12/31/86 170 mobile home site on 40 acres Mobile Home Park of land and a small vacant Beaver Dam, WI* building formerly used as an office.

All the above properties were unencumbered as of March 28, 1997. Leases on Investment Properties: The Partnership operates four mobile home parks which lease rental spaces. The Partnership also operates two apartment complexes. The mobile home parks and apartment complexes receive income on a monthly basis from tenant leases which normally have lease terms of one year or less. The restaurant properties are leased under 10-20 year leases with some having two five-year options to renew the lease at the end of the original terms. Rent on the restaurant properties, which is payable monthly, is equal to the greater of (a) 6.00% or (b) 6.50% of gross sales, depending on the lease, or a minimum base rental stated in the lease. The leases are "triple net" to the Partnership with the lessee being responsible for occupancy costs such as maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities. Both restaurant properties are now vacant. These properties have been classified in the Partnership's financial statements as properties held for sale or re-lease. The real estate business is highly competitive and the Partnership competes with many other real estate investment entities many of which have greater financial resources. No one firm or group of firms, in the opinion of the General Partners, is dominant in the industry. The Partnership, therefore, faces substantial competition from a variety of sources for attracting tenants to its properties. All commercial, residential and mobile home community properties acquired by the Partnership have competition for tenants from similar properties in the vicinity. To the extent that the Partnership owns or acquires commercial properties, such as restaurants, which have leases entitling the Partnership to participate in gross receipts of tenants above fixed minimum amounts, the success of the Partnership will depend in part on the success of its tenants in competing with similar businesses in the vicinity. In the opinion of management of the Partnership, all properties are adequately covered by insurance. MATERIAL PROPERTIES - ------------------- Following is information with respect to each property whose revenues are greater than 10% of total revenues as denoted above.

Item 7. 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 originally purchased a total of fifteen income- producing properties. The Partnership is managing four mobile home communities (two in Wisconsin and two in Minnesota) and two garden apartment complexes located in Ohio and Maryland. The Partnership is leasing the retail auto supply store in Neenah, Wisconsin. The Partnership has sold the following properties: a restaurant building located in Longmont, Colorado; a retail auto parts and service store located in Menasha, Wisconsin; a mobile home park located in Little Chute, Wisconsin; a mobile home park located in Willmar, Minnesota; and a restaurant building located in Eagan, Minnesota. The Partnership also owns restaurant properties in Mundelein, Illinois and Joliet, Illinois which are vacant. The lessee vacated both properties during 1996. The properties have been classified as properties available for sale or re-lease in the Partnership's financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Properties acquired by the Partnership are intended to be held for approximately seven to ten years. Since the Partnership has purchased the Properties for cash, liquidity is not reduced by debt service payments. 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 was $921,000 in 1996, $1,188,000 in 1995, and $1,118,000 in 1994. During 1996 and 1994 cash provided from the sale of income-producing properties amounted to $475,000 and $285,000 respectively. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash of approximately $382,000 consisting of undistributed cash flow, working capital reserves, and tenant security deposits. Liabilities totaled approximately $338,000. The Partnership has not experienced, and is not currently experiencing any liquidity problems. It is not expected that the Partnership will experience liquidity problems due to the nature of the current liabilities. Approximately $135,000 of the current liabilities represent tenant security deposits. The majority of the remaining current liabilities are accrued and escrowed real estate taxes payable in installments in 1997. The Partnership expects to meet all of its obligations as they come due. Total limited partner distributions made during 1995 were approximately $1,199,000. Results of Operations: Total revenues fluctuated during the three year period covered by this report:
1996 $2,187,000 1995 $2,228,000 1994 $2,161,000
The increase in revenues from 1994 to 1995 is a result of annual rent increases at the mobile home parks and apartments. The decrease in revenues from 1995 to 1996 is a result of the sale of Parkwood Estates mobile home park, reductions in the occupancy rates at the apartment complexes and offset by the increased rates at the apartment complexes and remaining mobile home parks. Total expenses were $2,317,000 in 1996, $1,725,000 in 1995, and $1,678,000 in 1994. Operating expenses have decreased in 1995 compared to 1994 as the number of properties in the Partnership declined due to property sales in 1993 and 1994. The operating expenses rose significantly in 1996 due to several factors. The Partnership incurred a loss on sale of the Parkwood Estates mobile home park of $339,000. Bad debt expense for 1996 amounted to $217,000 as a result of the two restaurant properties in Mundelein, Illinois and Joliet, Illinois being vacated by the lessor prior to the expiration of the lease. As a result of the vacancies of the two restaurant properties the carrying value of the building improvements and the land were written down to their estimated net realizable value. The writedown resulted in a charge to income of $159,000 in 1996. The Partnership incurred a net loss of $71,000 in 1996 compared to net income of $549,000 in 1995 and $529,000 in 1994. The decrease in 1996 is attributable to the factors discussed in the previous paragraph. Except for property sales, future net income should increase as a result of rent increases on the mobile home communities, re-leasing or selling the vacant commercial properties, and base rent increases on the "triple net" lease commercial properties. 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. The 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. Item 8.

RAL YIELD + EQUITIES IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 Note #1 Nature of the Business and Summary of Significant - ------- ------------------------------------------------- Accounting Policies ------------------- A. Nature of the Business ---------------------- RAL Yield + Equities IV Limited Partnership (the Partnership) is a Wisconsin limited partnership formed on August 8, 1986, under the provisions of the Wisconsin Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to acquire for cash, operate, lease, develop and eventually sell real estate properties. Currently, the Partnership owns nine properties. It operates four mobile home parks located in the upper midwest and two apartment complexes located in Maryland and Ohio. The partnership also leases a commercial property to a retail/service business in the upper midwest. As of December 31, 1996, two commercial restaurant properties, located in the upper midwest, which had been leased to a franchisee, are vacant. The Partnership will terminate December 31, 2016, except in the event of prior sale of the Partnership's properties, action by a majority interest of the Limited Partners or certain other events. Effective July 26, 1988, the Partnership completed its offering of limited partnership interests. A total of 19,620.5 interests were sold for an aggregate contribution of $19,620,500. In connection with the sale of limited partnership interests, the Partnership incurred approximately $2,058,000 of costs to raise capital including sales commissions of $1,766,000 and other offering costs of $292,000, which were charged against partners' equity. B. Method of Accounting -------------------- Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis method of accounting. 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 these estimates. C. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RAL Yield + Equities IV Limited Partnership and its majority owned F-7 investment in Cedar Crossing Apartments. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Partnership records are maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. D. Income-Producing Properties --------------------------- Income-producing properties are carried at the lower of cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value. Cost includes acquisition fees paid to RAL Asset Management Group. Management periodically evaluates a property's fair value based upon occupancy rate and comparison to similar properties in the same geographic area. For financial statement purposes, depreciation is determined using the straight-line method. For income tax reporting purposes, building and land improvements are depreciated using the straight - -line method, while equipment is depreciated using accelerated methods. Depreciable lives for financial statement and income tax purposes are set forth below:
Depreciable Lives --------------------------- Financial Income Tax Reporting Reporting --------- ---------- Land improvements 30 years 15-31.5 years Buildings 30 years 31.5-40 years Equipment 5-7 years 3-7 years
E. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ------------------------------- Receivables are reviewed periodically by management to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based upon management's evaluation, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $261,729 and $53,000 was necessary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-8 F. Deferred Charges ---------------- Costs incurred with respect to organizing the Partnership were deferred and have been fully amortized. Prepaid management fees incurred in the initial public offering were amortized to expense on the straight-line method over the term (ten years) of the management agreement and have been fully amortized. Commission fees incurred to lease the properties have been deferred and amortized over the respective lease term. Deferred charges consist of the following at December 31,
1996 1995 --------- --------- Deferred management fees 1,177,230 1,177,230 Lease commissions 8,700 8,700 --------- --------- 1,185,930 1,185,930 Less: Accumulated amortization 1,179,405 1,057,731 --------- --------- 6,525 128,199 ========= =========
G. Leases ------ The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the income-producing properties are properly classified as operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned and the cost of each of the properties, excluding cost of land, is depreciated over its estimated useful life. H. Income Taxes ------------ No income taxes will be payable or provided by the Partnership since net income or loss is includable in the respective tax returns of the partners. In the initial year of ownership of partnership interests, each partner's share of taxable income or loss, tax credits and distributions is allocated to them on a pro rata basis that considers the number of days in the year during which their respective interests were held. The Partnership files its income tax return on the accrual basis of accounting. The following reconciles the income reported in the accompanying Statements of Income to that reported in the tax returns. F-9

Such funds on deposit exceeded the federally insured limit by $253,004 and $152,319 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Note #2 General Provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement - ------- ------------------------------------------------------ Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, net income or losses of the Partnership from operations and losses on sale of income-producing properties are allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the general partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all depreciation from tax-exempt use properties is allocated to tax-exempt limited partners. In general, subject to certain limitations, all income from the sale of income-producing properties will be allocated first to the Partners with deficit capital accounts, then to each limited partner in an amount equal to the limited partner's original capital contribution, less prior distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds, then to the limited partners in the amount, if any, of the investment preference that is paid from sale or refinancing proceeds and the remainder shall be allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partners, provided that general partners shall be allocated at least 1% of such income. F-10 The partnership agreement requires that distributions to limited partners of Cash Available for Distribution (as defined in the partnership agreement) shall be made in such amounts and at such times as the general partners may determine, but not less frequently than semi-annually.
