NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004 AND AUGUST 31, 2003
(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, 2003, 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 August 31, 2004 and for all periods
presented have been made. The results for the periods ended August 31, 2004 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year.
(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 November 25, 2003 the Partnership commenced an odd-lot offer to purchase up
to 3,887 of the Partnership's limited partnership units. In connection with the
offer, the Partnership redeemed 95 limited partnership units at $450 per unit.
On June 14, 2004, the Partnership commenced an odd-lot offer to purchase up to
4,874 of the Partnership's limited partnership units from limited partners
holding 25 units or fewer (the "June Offer") at $507 per unit. The June Offer
expired on July 16, 2004. In connection with the offer, the Partnership redeemed
100 units of the Partnership at $507 per unit during the quarter ended August
31, 2004. As of August 31, 2004 there were 11,256 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, 2003, 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 over
periods ranging 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 property, compared to the
property's current carrying value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2004 was $379,000, a decrease of
$272,000 from November 30, 2003. Cash provided from operating activities for the
nine months ended August 31, 2004 was $552,000, comparable with the same period
in 2003. Investing activities used $387,000 primarily due to a renovation of the
clubhouse for $108,000 and pool and deck improvements for $45,000 along with
other investments in property improvements including carpet, flooring, HVAC and
appliance replacements of $178,000. Cash used in financing activities was
$437,000, comprised primarily of $342,000 of distributions of $10 per limited
partner unit, which were paid in each of January, April, and July 2004, and
$95,000 to repurchase 195 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 nine month periods ended May 31, 2004, the Partnership's
revenues were $669,000 and $2,054,000, respectively. Revenues decreased by
$33,000 (4.7%) and $89,000 (4.2%) respectively for the three and nine-month
periods ended August 31, 2004 as compared to the same periods ended August 31,
2003. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in vacancy loss of $40,000
and $81,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2004,
respectively.
For the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2004, the Partnership's
operating expenses were $509,000 and $1,504,000, respectively. Expenses for the
three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2004 are comparable in total to
the same periods ended August 31, 2003. However, several expense categories had
offsetting increases or decreases caused by changes in several expenses within
those categories significant only as a whole.
Woodhollow was 89% occupied at August 31, 2004, as compared to 92% as of August
31, 2003. Twenty-two (22) units, or approximately 5% of the property, are vacant
due to the fire described below. Based on industry information, the average
occupancy of the sub-market Woodhollow competes with is in the low to mid 90%
range. Interest rates remain low, which normally increases losses of tenants who
move out of apartments when they purchase homes.
On April 16, 2004, Woodhollow incurred a fire in one building. The damage was
limited to the 22 units in that building. Management estimates that most of the
damages (estimated to be $260,000) are covered by insurance, less a $10,000
deductible and approximately $10,000 of make-ready expenses. The insurance
policy also covers loss of rents and management is currently in discussions with
the insurance company as to the amount of rental loss the partnership will be
reimbursed for. Management believes that the repairs were substantially
completed in September 2004, and the units will be available for rental after
inspection by the city is complete in early October.
Inflation
The effects of inflation did not have a material impact upon the Registrant's
operations in fiscal 2003 or the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and are not
expected to materially affect the Registrant's operations in the remainder of
2004.
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.

ITEM 3: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of Maxus
Capital Corp., including the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, the Partnership 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
(the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms. These disclosure controls and procedures have been evaluated under the
direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of May
31, 2004. Based on such evaluations, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)) are effective.
There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during the period
covered by this report.
