NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions for preparing
Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and are unaudited. As such, these financial statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures required under generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements, and
accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1995 Annual Report. Except
as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the information
presented in the footnotes to the 1995 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 have been made and are reflected.
On September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold all of its remaining equipment
assets. In October 1996, the Partnership filed Form 8-K, which provided a
description of the remarketing process and the terms of sale. The entire
remarketing effort was undertaken jointly by 15 individual equipment
leasing programs, consisting of the Partnership and 14 affiliated
partnerships, each of which individually executed separate purchase and
sale agreements with RSL Finance Limited Partnership II (the Buyer) for all
or a portion of their equipment assets (the Sale Assets). The proceeds
were first used to repay the entire outstanding balance due under the notes
payable and the associated interest of $224,483 and $793, respectively.
The Buyer also purchased certain of the Partnership's rents receivable
equal to $69,581 at September 30, 1996.
The Managing General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be
dissolved on or before December 31, 1996 in accordance with the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership. Prior to December 31, 1996, the Managing General Partner will
wind up the operations of the Partnership and make a liquidating
distribution of $4,354,736 to the Partners. The distribution approximates
the Partnership's available cash net of estimated wind-up costs and a
contingency reserve. In November 1996, the contingency reserve of $525,000
was deposited in a separate account to cover any unforeseen liabilities
that may arise in future periods. At such time as the Managing General
Partner considers appropriate, any balance in the reserve account will be
distributed to the Partners according to their respective ownership
interests in the Partnership at the date of its dissolution (see Note 6).

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
The financial statements presented have been prepared on a going-concern
basis through September 30, 1996. Due to the imminent dissolution of the
Partnership requiring liquidation and distribution of its net assets, a
statement of net assets in liquidation as of September 30, 1996 is
presented below. This statement is prepared based on anticipated
liquidating values of assets and liabilities. Management has determined
the liquidating values of amounts receivable based on collectibility of
balances prior to any final distribution and termination of the
Partnership. Accrued liabilities have been estimated based on the existing
obligations and anticipated fees and costs associated with the sales
transactions and the wind-up effort. Cash distributions to partners,
including contingency reserves, may vary depending upon the realization of
the amounts estimated by management. Values estimated by management may be
different from actual amounts.

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by American
Finance Group (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, 1996 and 1995,
which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are
as follows:
1996 1995
Equipment management fees $ 89,683 $ 103,016
Administrative charges 21,000 15,750
Reimbursable operating expenses due to
third parties 145,952 87,487
---------- ----------
Total $ 256,635 $ 206,253
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
Administrative charges and reimbursable operating expenses due to third
parties in 1996 include all costs anticipated in connection with the
Partnership's wind-up and dissolution.
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment, including the sales
transaction described in Note 1, 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, 1996, the Partnership was owed $247,574 by AFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in
October 1996. The sales proceeds due from the Buyer were deposited into
the escrow account subsequent to September 30, 1996.
The remarketing effort described in Note 1 was undertaken jointly by 15
individual equipment leasing programs, consisting of the Partnership and 14
affiliated partnerships (Other Affected Partnerships). Collectively, the
Partnership and the Other Affected Partnerships offered for sale all or a
portion of their equipment assets. Thirteen of the programs, including the
Partnership, sold all of their equipment assets and are expected to wind up
business operations by December 31, 1996; the remaining two programs, which
will continue their business operations beyond December 31, 1996, sold only
their interest in assets owned jointly with one or more of the 13 programs
anticipating wind-up by December 31, 1996. Substantially all of the
Partnership's equipment assets of material value represented partial
ownership interests whereby the Partnership owned less than a 100% interest
in the equipment it sold. The remaining interests in such assets were
owned by one or more of the Other Affected Partnerships. Ultimately, the
Sale Assets were sold for an aggregate adjusted sale price of approximately
$32,997,000, of which the Partnership's proportionate share, net of
associated costs, was determined to be $5,102,996. The Partnership's
proportionate share in this transaction is net of certain third-party
advisory fees incurred in connection with the equipment sale.
The Buyer is a limited partnership established to acquire the Sale Assets
and has no direct affiliation with the Partnership, the Other Affected
Partnerships, the General Partners or AFG. The sole general

partner of the Buyer of the Partnership's equipment is RSL Holdings, Inc.
(RSL). An affiliate of RSL purchased a significant limited partnership
interest in a direct-participation equipment leasing program co-sponsored
by AFG in 1992. AFG acquired this interest in 1993 for cash and assumption
of indebtedness. There have been no other business dealings between the
Buyer and AFG and their affiliates.
(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 1996, the Partnership repaid the entire outstanding balance due
under the notes payable and the associated interest of $224,483 and $793,
respectively.
On October 10, 1996, the Managing General Partner entered into a Cross
Partnership Agreement with the general partners of certain other affiliated
partnerships. Under this agreement, each of the general partners has
agreed to set aside a contingency reserve amount for future liabilities and
deposit that amount into an account that may be accessed by any of the
general partners to fund any and all obligations contemplated under the
Cross Partnership Agreement. Any obligation of the Partnership that is not
associated with the sales transaction (see Note 1) will directly reduce the
Partnership's reserve amount. All costs arising as a result of the sales
transaction will be allocated against the reserve amount of the Partnership
and other affiliated partnerships. If the reserve amount contributed by
the Partnership is reduced below zero, the reserve amounts contributed by
the general partners of the other affiliated partnerships shall be debited
on a pro rata basis to cover the deficit. If the reserve amount
contributed by one of the affiliated partnerships is reduced below zero,
the reserve amounts of the Partnership and the other affiliated
partnerships shall be debited on a pro rata basis to cover the deficit.
Upon termination of the contingency reserve account, any monies remaining
will be distributed to those partnerships with positive balances. The
Partnership's reserve amount under this agreement was determined to be
$525,000 and was deposited in the reserve account in November 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared To the Three and
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995:
OVERVIEW
The Partnership was organized in 1989 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject
to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership's stated investment
objectives and policies contemplated that the Partnership would wind up its
operations within approximately seven years of its inception.
On September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold all of its remaining equipment
assets. The remarketing effort described in Note 1 was undertaken jointly by 15
individual equipment leasing programs, consisting of the Partnership and 14
affiliated partnerships (Other Affected Partnerships). Collectively, the
Partnership and the Other Affected Partnerships offered for sale all or a
portion of their equipment assets (Sale Assets). Thirteen of the programs,
including the Partnership, sold all of their equipment assets and are expected
to wind up business operations by December 31, 1996; the remaining two programs,
which will continue their business operations beyond December 31, 1996, sold
only their interest in assets owned jointly with one or more of the 13 programs
anticipating wind-up by December 31, 1996. Substantially all of the
Partnership's equipment assets of material value represented partial ownership
interests whereby the Partnership owned less than a 100% interest in the
equipment it sold. The remaining interests in such assets were owned by one or
more of the Other Affected Partnerships. Ultimately, the Sale Assets were sold
for an aggregate adjusted sale price of approximately $32,997,000, of which the
Partnership's proportionate share, net of associated costs, was determined to be
$5,102,996. The Partnership's proportionate share in this transaction is net of
certain third-party advisory fees incurred in connection with the equipment
sales. In addition, the Buyer also purchased certain of the Partnership's rents
receivable equal to $69,581 at September 30, 1996.
The Managing General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be dissolved
on or before December 31, 1996 in accordance with the Partnership's Amended and
Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (Partnership
Agreement). Prior to December 31, 1996, the Managing General Partner will wind
up the operations of the Partnership and make a liquidating distribution of
$4,354,736 to the Partners. The distribution approximates the Partnership's
available cash, net of estimated wind-up costs and a contingency reserve. In
November 1996, the contingency reserve of $525,000 was deposited in a separate
account to cover any unforeseen liabilities that may arise in future periods.
At such time as the Managing General Partner considers appropriate, any balance
in the reserve account will be distributed to the Partners according to their
respective ownership interests in the Partnership at the date of its dissolution
(see Note 6 to the financial statements).

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Continued)
OVERVIEW (Continued)
The financial statements presented have been prepared on a going-concern basis
through September 30, 1996. Due to the imminent dissolution of the Partnership
requiring liquidation and distribution of its net assets, a statement of net
assets in liquidation as of September 30, 1996 is presented below. This
statement is prepared based on anticipated liquidating values of assets and
liabilities. Management has determined the liquidating values of amounts
receivable based on collectibility of balances prior to any final distribution
and termination of the Partnership. Accrued liabilities have been estimated
based on the existing obligations and anticipated fees and costs associated with
the sales transactions and the wind-up effort. Cash distributions to Partners,
including contingency reserves, may vary depending upon the realization of the
amounts estimated by management. Values estimated by management may be
different from actual amounts.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $563,184 and $1,793,666, respectively, compared to
$644,261 and $2,060,316 for the same periods in 1995. The decrease in lease
revenue from 1995 to 1996 resulted principally from primary lease term
expirations and sale of equipment. The Partnership also earned interest income
from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales proceeds in
short-term instruments.
Prior to the sale of the Partnership's assets, the Partnership's equipment
portfolio included certain assets in which the Partnership held a proportionate
ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests were owned by AFG or
an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG. Proportionate
equipment ownership enabled the Partnership to further diversify its equipment
portfolio by participating in the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing
the general levels of risk that could result from a concentration in any single
equipment type, industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate
individually reported, in proportion to their respective ownership interests,
their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses associated
with the equipment.
During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment
in the normal course of business with a net book value of $14,479 to existing
lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $141,559 compared to a net gain of $1,083 in 1995 on
equipment having a net book value of $1,917.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment
in the normal course of business with a net book value of $15,342, to existing
lessees and third parties. The sales resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $153,995, compared to a net gain of $390,869 in 1995 on
equipment having a net book value of $71,625 for the same period in 1995. In
connection with the September 30, 1996 sales transaction discussed above, the
Partnership realized a net loss of $271,047.
12
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$128,687 and $593,044, respectively, compared to $306,617 and $1,002,632 for the
same periods in 1995. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that an
asset was held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciated 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. To the extent that equipment was
held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continued 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 $5,250 and $66,961 or less than 1% and 3.7% of lease
revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
compared to $69,243 and $215,416 or 10.8% and 10.5% of lease revenue for the
same periods in 1995.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue during each of the periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Operating expenses consisted 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 were incurred in connection with equipment being remarketed.
Collectively, operating expenses represented 23.1% and 9.3% of lease revenue for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 3.3% and 5% of
lease revenue for the same periods in 1995. Operating expenses for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 included all costs anticipated in
connection with the Partnership's wind-up and dissolution.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DISCUSSION OF CASH FLOWS
The Partnership, by its nature, is a limited-life entity that was established
for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview." As an equipment
leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities have been
derived from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's
principal source of cash from operations was provided from the collection of
periodic rents. These cash inflows were used to satisfy debt service
