                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2003 AND 2002


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the financial statements of Maxus Real Property Investors - Four, L.P.,
formerly known as Nooney Real Property Investors - Four, L.P. (the "Partnership"
or the "Registrant"),  for the year ended November 30, 2002, which are contained
in the  Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB,  for a  description  of the
accounting policies which have been continued without change. Also, refer to the
footnotes  to those  statements  for  additional  details  of the  Partnership's
financial  condition and results of operations.  The details in those notes have
not changed  except as a result of normal  transactions  in the interim.  In the
opinion of the general  partner,  all  adjustments  (which  include  only normal
recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position,
results  of  operations  and  cash  flows at May 31,  2003  and for all  periods
presented  have been made. The results for the three and six month periods ended
May 31, 2003 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire year.

Certain  reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform
to the current period presentation.

(a) Description of Business

The Partnership is a limited  partnership  organized under the laws of the State
of Missouri  on  February  9, 1982.  The  Partnership  was  organized  to invest
primarily in income-producing  real properties such as shopping centers,  office
buildings and other commercial properties,  apartment buildings, warehouses, and
light  industrial  properties.  The  Partnership's  portfolio  is comprised of a
402-unit  apartment  building  located  in  West  St.  Louis  County,   Missouri
(Woodhollow Apartments).

(b) Basis of Accounting

The financial statements include only those assets, liabilities,  and results of
operations  of the partners  which relate to the business of Maxus Real Property
Investors-Four, L.P. The statements do not include assets, liabilities, revenues
or expenses  attributable to the partners' individual  activities.  No provision
has been made for  federal  and state  income  taxes  since  these taxes are the
responsibility of the partners.

(2) Repurchase of Partnership Interests

On May 23, 2003,  the  Partnership  commenced an odd-lot offer to purchase up to
3,468 of the  Registrant's  limited  partnership  units  from  limited  partners
holding 12 units or fewer (the "Offer").  The Offer expired on June 27, 2003. In
connection with the Offer, the Registrant redeemed 100 limited partnership units
of the Registrant at $430 per unit. The redemptions of units held by ten limited
partners,  totaling 55 units,  are being held pending  receipt of all  necessary
documents to satisfy the Registrant's redemption requirements.  Previously,  the
Partnership  commenced  an  odd-lot  offer  to  purchase  up  to  3,840  of  the
Registrant's limited partnership units from limited partners holding 12 units or
fewer, which expired on December 31, 2002. At that time, the Registrant redeemed
332 limited  partnership units at $430 per unit. As a result, as of July 1, 2003
there are 11,496 outstanding limited partnership units.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This  10-QSB  contains  forward-looking  information  (as defined in the Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995) that involves risk and  uncertainty,
including  trends  in  the  real  estate  investment   market,   general  market
conditions,   projected   leasing  and  sales,  and  future  prospects  for  the
Partnership.  Actual results could differ materially from those  contemplated by
such statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to the Financial Statements of the Partnership for the year ended November
30, 2002, which are contained in the Partnership's Annual Report in Form 10-KSB,
for a description of the accounting policies,  which have been continued without
change, unless otherwise noted herein.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that affect  amounts  reported in the  accompanying  financial
statements.  The most  significant  assumptions and estimates  relate to revenue
recognition for leases, treatment of capital expenditures,  depreciable lives of
investment  property,  capital  expenditures  and the  valuation  of  investment
property.  Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as
to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The  Partnership  leases its property  pursuant to  operating  leases with terms
generally of six or twelve  months.  Rental income is recognized  when received;
this method  approximates  recognition using the  straight-line  method over the
related lease term.

Investment Property Useful Lives

The  Partnership  is required to make  subjective  assessments  as to the useful
lives of its property for the purposes of determining the amount of depreciation
to reflect on an annual basis with respect to the  property.  These  assessments
have a direct impact on the Partnership's net income.

Investment  property is depreciated  over its estimated  useful life of 30 years
using the straight-line method.  Furnishings and appliances are depreciated from
5 to 7 years using the straight-line method.

Capital Expenditures

For  reporting  purposes,   the  Partnership   capitalizes  all  carpet,  vinyl,
appliance,   and  HVAC   replacements.   The  Partnership   expenses  all  other
expenditures  that  total  less than  $10,000.  Expenditures  over  $10,000  and
expenditures  related to contracts over $10,000 are evaluated  individually  for
capitalization.

Impairment of Investment Property Values

The Partnership is required to make  subjective  assessments as to whether there
are impairments in the value of its investment property.  Management's estimates
of  impairment in the value of the  investment  property have a direct impact on
the Partnership's net income.

The  Partnership  follows the  provisions  of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  (SFAS)  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
Long-Lived  Assets".   The  Partnership  assesses  the  carrying  value  of  its
long-lived asset whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the
carrying amount of the underlying asset may not be recoverable.  Certain factors
that may occur and  indicate  that an  impairment  exists  include,  but are not
limited to: significant  underperformance relative to projected future operating
results;  significant  changes  in the  manner  of the  use  of the  asset;  and
significant adverse industry or market economic trends. If the carrying value of
the property may not be  recoverable  based upon the existence of one or more of
the above indicators of impairment,  management measures the impairment based on
projected  discounted  cash flows using a discount rate determined by management
to be commensurate  with the risk inherent in the  Partnership,  compared to the
property's current carrying value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash as of May 31, 2003 was  $812,000,  a decrease of $99,000 from  November 30,
2002.  Cash provided from operating  activities for the six months ended May 31,
2003 was  $405,000,  which is  consistent  with  results from the same period in
2002.   Investing  activities  used  $130,000  due  to  investment  in  property
improvements  including roof  replacements  of $62,000 and HVAC  replacements of
$25,000.  Cash used in financing activities was $374,000,  comprised of $232,000
of distributions of $10 per limited partner unit, which were paid in January and
April of 2003, and $142,000 to repurchase 332 limited partner units.

Contractual Obligations

The mortgage  note  payable is secured by  Woodhollow  Apartments  and calls for
monthly  interest  payments  of  $61,000,  with  interest  fixed at  7.45%.  The
principal  balance is due December 1, 2010.  In the event of  prepayment  by the
Partnership, the note requires a substantial prepayment penalty.

Management  believes the Partnership's  current cash position and the property's
ability to provide  operating  cash flow should enable the  Partnership  to fund
anticipated capital expenditures and meet debt obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three and six  month  periods  ended  May 31,  2003,  the  Partnership's
revenues  were  $708,000 and  $1,441,000,  respectively.  Revenues  decreased by
$20,000 (2.7%) and $5,000 (.4%) respectively for the three and six-month periods
ended May 31, 2003 as  compared to the same  periods  ended May 31,  2002.  This
decrease was primarily due to an increase in vacancy loss of $24,000 and $10,000
for the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2003, respectively.

For the three and six  month  periods  ended  May 31,  2003,  the  Partnership's
operating expenses were $521,000 and $988,000, respectively.  Expenses increased
by $30,000 (6.1%) for the  three-month  period ended May 31, 2003 as compared to
the same period ended May 31, 2002.  The increase in expenses was  primarily due
to an  increase  in real  estate  taxes of  $14,000,  insurance  expense  (other
expenses)  of  $27,000,  and  utilities  of  $7,000,  offset  by a  decrease  in
professional  fees of $9,000 and repairs and  maintenance  of $11,000.  Expenses
decreased $25,000 (2.5%) for the six-month period ended May 31, 2003 as compared
to the same period  ended May 31, 2002.  The decrease in expenses was  primarily
due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance of $25,000 and professional fees of
$48,000 offset by an increase in insurance  expense (other  expenses) of $37,000
and taxes of  $15,000.  The  decrease in  professional  fees was the result of a
property tax study  completed in 2002.  This expense was not recurring in nature
and did not recur in 2003. The increase in insurance expense is primarily due to
a rate increase in 2003.

Woodhollow was 94% occupied at May 31, 2003. Based on industry information,  the
average  occupancy of the sub-market  Woodhollow  competes with is in the low to
mid 90% range. In 2002, unemployment rose above 6% in the St. Louis area for the
first time since 1993. The rate is expected to continue to stay at higher levels
until the end of 2003.  Interest  rates  remain low,  which  normally  increases
losses of tenants who move out of apartments when they purchase homes.  Economic
development is expected to continue in St. Louis,  with various projects such as
new  retail   developments  and  an  airport  expansion  being  planned.   These
developments may lead to a decrease in the unemployment rate.

INFLATION

The effects of inflation  did not have a material  impact upon the  Registrant's
operations  in  fiscal  2002  and are not  expected  to  materially  affect  the
Registrant's operations in 2003.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Partnership does not have any "off-balance sheet arrangements" as defined in
Item 303 (c) of Regulations S-B promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.




                                       8



ITEM 3:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the  supervision  and with the  participation  of the  management of Maxus
Capital Corp.,  the  Partnership's  managing  general  partner,  including Maxus
Capital  Corp.'s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and Chief  Financial  Officer,  the
Registrant has established a system of controls and other procedures designed to
ensure that  information  required to be disclosed in its periodic reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  is recorded,  processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods  specified in the Securities and
Exchange  Commission's ruled and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures
have been evaluated under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer within the last 90 days. Based on such evaluations,  the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure
controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in
the system of internal  controls or in other  factors  that could  significantly
affect  internal  controls  subsequent to the evaluation by the Chief  Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

O. BRUCE MILLS V. MAXUS  CAPITAL CORP.  AND MAXUS REAL  PROPERTY  INVESTORS-FOUR
L.P., CASE NO. 01CC-004237, CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI

On April 30, 2003, the Registrant  settled the only remaining issue in this case
with Mills. The terms of the settlement are confidential. The settlement did not
require  the  Registrant  or its  General  Partner to make any payment to Mills.
Moreover, the Court's judgment against Mills on all claims remains in place. The
judgment,  however,  was amended on May 2, 2003 in order to release to Mills the
$7,000  bond he had  posted  to secure a  preliminary  injunction.  The  amended
judgment  also  vacated  the  preliminary  injunction  in this case.  With these
actions by the parties and the Court this matter is now concluded.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On May 23, 2003,  the  Partnership  commenced an odd-lot offer to purchase up to
3,468 of the  Registrant's  limited  partnership  units  from  limited  partners
holding 12 units or fewer (the "Offer").  The Offer expired on June 27, 2003. In
connection with the Offer, the Registrant redeemed 100 limited partnership units
of the Registrant at $430 per unit. The redemptions of units held by ten limited
partners,  totaling 55 units,  are being held pending  receipt of all  necessary
documents to satisfy the Registrant's redemption requirements.  Previously,  the
Partnership  commenced  an  odd-lot  offer  to  purchase  up  to  3,840  of  the
Registrant's limited partnership units from limited partners holding 12 units or
fewer, which expired on December 31, 2002. At that time, the Registrant redeemed
332 limited  partnership units at $430 per unit. As a result, as of July 1, 2003

our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
of  registrant's  board of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent
functions):

         a) all  significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
     controls  which  could adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
     process, summarize  and  report  financial data and have identified for the
     registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

         b) any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material, that involves management or
     other  employees  who  have a significant role in the registrant's internal
     controls; and

     6. The  registrant's  other certifying officer and I have indicated in this
quarterly  report  whether  or  not  there  were significant changes in internal
