NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on
behalf of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, which were paid or accrued by the
Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:
1995 1994
--------------- ---------
Equipment management fees $ 112,067 $ 170,898
Administrative charges 15,750 9,000
Reimbursable operating expenses
due to third parties 71,543 53,752
-------------- --------------
Total $ 199,360 $ 233,650
============ ============
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At September 30, 1995, the Partnership was owed $310,950 by AFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in
October 1995.
On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a
newly formed Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG, issued a voluntary Offer to Purchase for Cash (the "Offer")
up to approximately 45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in
this Partnership and 20 affiliated partnerships sponsored and managed by AFG.
Coincident to the Offer, a Tender Offer Statement pursuant to Section 14(d)(1)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, on August 18, 1995, the General
Partner filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement (Schedule 14D-9) pursuant
to Section 14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act. The Offer was amended and supplemented
in order to provide additional disclosure to unitholders; increase the offer
price; reduce the number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding
units; and extend the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995. Certain
legal actions were initiated by interested persons against AALP and each of the
general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and various other
affiliates and related parties. One action, representing a class action on
behalf of the unitholders (limited partners), sought to enjoin the Offer and
obtain unspecified monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation was
proposed and was preliminarily approved by the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts (the "Court") on September 27, 1995. A final
settlement hearing is scheduled on November 15, 1995. A second class action,
brought in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, seeks to
enjoin the Offer, obtain unspecified monetary damages, and intervene in the
first class action. The plaintiffs have filed objections to the proposed
settlement of the first action. At this date, these objections have not been
acted upon by the Superior Court. As of the Offer expiration date, the limited
partners of the Partnership had tendered approximately 94,671 Units or 7.45% of
the total outstanding Units of the Partnership to AALP. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the operations of the Partnership are not expected to be adversely
affected by the proceedings or proposed settlements.

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 7, 1993, Rose's Stores, Inc. (the "Debtor"), a lessee of
the Partnership, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
AFG, on behalf of the Partnership and various other AFG-sponsored investment
programs, filed a proof of claim in this case, which claim was amended and
restated. In August 1994, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Motion to Reject
Certain Executory Equipment Leases filed by the Debtor relating to approximately
$295,000 of equipment owned by this Partnership. The Partnership sold all such
equipment during 1994 and recognized a net gain of $344 for financial statement
purposes. During 1995, the Partnership sold an additional $1,392 of equipment
previously leased to the Debtor and recognized a net gain of $213 for financial
statement purposes. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership owned other
equipment, having an original cost of $605,747, which was leased to the Debtor.
This equipment represents approximately 3% of the Partnership's aggregate
equipment portfolio and is fully depreciated for financial statement purposes.
All of this equipment is being leased pursuant to renewal rental schedules
executed by the Debtor.
The Debtor's First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan of
Reorganization") was adopted on December 14, 1994. On June 8, 1995 and August
18, 1995, AFG, on behalf of the Partnership and various other AFG-sponsored
investment programs, was issued 17,023 shares and 7,296 shares, respectively, of
the Debtor's common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The common
stock, no par value stock, which had a market value of $2.38 and $2.56 at the
respective settlement dates, was issued in full satisfaction of the outstanding
unsecured claims of the affected investment programs. The Partnership's
proportionate interest in this settlement is 8.03% or approximately 1,954
shares. This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the Partnership.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994:
Overview
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to
acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements
with third parties. The Partnership was designed to progress through three
principal phases: acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the
operations phase, a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the
Partnership's portfolio will progress through various stages. Initially, all
equipment will generate rental revenues under primary term lease agreements.
During the life of the Partnership, these agreements will expire on an
intermittent basis and equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be
renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the
assessment of such conditions by AFG to obtain the most advantageous economic
benefit. Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment
portfolio will become available for remarketing and cash generated from
operations and from sales or refinancings will begin to fluctuate. Ultimately,
all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. The
Partnership's operations commenced in 1989.
Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $701,589 and $2,241,342, respectively, compared to
$973,771 and $3,417,968 for the same periods in 1994. The decrease in lease
revenue from 1994 to 1995 was expected and resulted principally from primary
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The
Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$32,183 and $95,476, respectively, compared to $24,631 and $52,104 for the same
periods in 1994. Interest income is generated from temporary investment of
rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term instruments. The
increase in interest income from 1994 to 1995 resulted from a greater
availability of cash for investment and an increase in interest rates. The
amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate in relation to
prevailing interest rates and the collection of lease revenue and equipment
sales proceeds.
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
15
For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment having a net book value of $6,886 to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes,
of $83,725 compared to a net gain in 1994 of $196,626 on equipment having a net
book value of $118,272.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment having a net book value of $113,435 to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes,
of $455,051 compared to a net gain in 1994 of $456,205 on equipment having a net
book value of $552,629.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies
such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was $234,491 and $721,117, respectively, compared to $526,217
and $2,027,992 for the same periods in 1994. For financial reporting purposes,
to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership
depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the
estimated residual value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term.
For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of
equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that
equipment is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to
depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis
over the asset's remaining economic life.
Interest expense was $10,310 and $35,543 or 1.5% and 1.6% of lease revenue
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared
to $25,030 and $90,486 or 2.6% of lease revenue for each of the same periods in
1994. Interest expense in future periods will continue to decline in amount and
as a percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes payable is
reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue during each of the periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and will not change as a percentage of lease
revenue in future periods.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented 3.4% and 3.9% of lease
revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively,
compared to 2.9% and 1.8% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1994. The
overall increase in operating expenses from 1994 to 1995 was due principally to
an increase in professional service costs and insurance premium adjustments for
aircraft owned by the Partnership. The amount of future operating expenses
cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher
during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other
fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing
activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an
equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities
derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with
leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating
activities generated net cash inflows of $2,333,838 and $3,342,960 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease
and equipment sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's
lease revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a higher
frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold
to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon
expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership realized $568,486 in equipment sale
proceeds compared to $1,008,834 in 1994. Future inflows of cash from asset
disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors
including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations,
the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market
conditions.
During 1994, the Partnership capitalized $664,500 of refurbishment costs
incurred to upgrade two cargo vessels leased by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen
Skipsrederi A/S ("KGJS") pursuant to the terms of an extended and renegotiated
contract with KGJS. Refurbishment costs were financed with a third-party lender
and shared between the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in
proportion to their respective ownership interests in the vessels.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing activities. Each note payable is recourse
only to the specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments
contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which period
generally coincides with the lease rental term). As rental payments are
collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay the
associated indebtedness. In future periods, the amount of cash used to repay
debt obligations will continue to decline as the principal balance of notes
payable is reduced through the collection and application of rents.
Cash distributions to the General Partners and Recognized Owners are
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component
of financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the
Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $2,406,480. In
accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or
$2,382,415 , and the General Partners were allocated 1%, or $24,065. The third
quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on October 13, 1995.
Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return
of and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of
Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and
are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The Partnership's future cash distributions will be adversely affected by
the 1991 bankruptcy of Midway Airlines, Inc. ("Midway"). Although this
bankruptcy had no immediate adverse effect on the Partnership's cash flow, as
the Partnership had almost fully leveraged its ownership interest in the
underlying aircraft leased to Midway, this event resulted in the Partnership's
loss of any future interest in the residual value of the aircraft. This
bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership
to achieve all of its originally intended economic benefits. However, the final
yield on capital will be dependent upon the collective performance results of
all the Partnership's equipment leases.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing
and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the
outcome of residual activities. The Managing General Partner anticipates that
cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will
occur during the life of the Partnership.
