NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- Copley Realty Income Partners 4; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real properties. It commenced operations in September 1989, and acquired the two real estate investments it currently owns prior to 1992. It intends to dispose of its investments within six to nine years of their acquisition, and then liquidate. NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES - ----------------------------------- On May 1, 1997, the Hohokam property within the Newhew joint venture was sold for $2,990,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of $2,826,133, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $973,919 ($80.81 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. A disposition fee of $89,700 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,791,854 ($234 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. The following summarized financial information is presented in the aggregate for the two joint ventures: Assets and Liabilities ------------------------ June 30, 1997 December 31, 1996 ------------- ----------------- Assets Real property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $2,206,745 and $2,282,330 $ 9,696,518 $11,648,017 Other 352,370 651,527 ----------- ----------- 10,048,888 12,299,544 ----------- ----------- Liabilities Note payable (a) 1,075,308 1,084,418 Other 181,627 271,985 ----------- ----------- 1,256,935 1,356,403 ----------- ----------- Net assets $ 8,791,953 $10,943,141 =========== =========== (a) Note payable to an insurance company, secured by the remaining building within the Newhew joint venture, accrues interest at 9.25% per annum.

NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were made on July 24, 1997 in the aggregate amount of $171,855 ($14.26 per limited partnership unit). Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - ----------------------------------------------------------- and Results of Operations - ------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership interest in December 1990 and a total of 11,931 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $10,097,962, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital reserves. In July 1995, the Partnership reduced its working capital reserves by making a capital distribution of $441,447 ($37 per limited partnership unit). After the distribution, the Partnership's adjusted capital contribution was $963 per unit. On May 1, 1997, the Hohokam property within the Newhew joint venture was sold for $2,990,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of $2,826,133, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $973,919 ($80.81 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. A disposition fee of $89,700 was accrued but not paid to the advisor. On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,791,854 ($234 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. The distribution reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $729 per unit. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had $1,637,652 in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, of which $171,855 was used for cash distributions to the partners on July 24, 1997; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's real estate and short-term investments. Distributions of cash from operations related to each of the first two quarters of 1996 and 1997 were made at the annualized rate of 6.5% on the adjusted capital contribution; the second quarter 1997 distribution rate was based on a weighted average adjusted capital contribution. The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements at June 30, 1997 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated cost of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At June 30, 1997, the appraised values of the Newhew and Shasta Way investments exceeded their carrying values by $1,000,000 and $800,000, respectively. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been determined by the managing general partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace. Results of Operations Form of Real Estate Investments The Newhew investment is structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm. The Shasta Way investment had been structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm and an affiliate of the Partnership. As of January 1, 1996, the Shasta Way joint venture was restructured, and the management/development firm's interest was assigned to the Partnership and its affiliate in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The Partnership's ownership percentage increased to 42%. Operating Factors As discussed above, the Partnership sold the two Newhew Phase I buildings (Hohokam Corporate Center) on May 1, 1997 and recognized a gain of $973,919. Occupancy at Hohokam increased from 97% at March 31, 1997 to 100% as of the sale date. The property was 99% leased at December 31, 1996 and 100% at June 30, 1996. Fairmont Commerce Center (Newhew's Phase II investment) has been 100% leased to two tenants since May 1992. Shasta Way is 100% occupied by a single tenant under a lease which expires December 31, 1998. Investment Results Interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $14,000 or 34% as compared to the corresponding period of 1996, primarily due to higher short-terms yields. Exclusive of operating results at Hohokam of $77,216 in 1997 and $101,014 in 1996, joint venture earnings were $179,548 and $181,040 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The 1997 amount is comprised of operating income of $68,684 at Fairmont and $110,864 at Shasta Way; the 1996 amount was comprised of operating income of $58,440 at Fairmont and $122,600 at Shasta Way. The improvement at Fairmont is primarily due to increased expense reimbursement income, partially offset by increased amortization of tenant improvements. The decrease at Shasta Way is due primarily to lower income as a result of non-recurring prior year expense reimbursement settlements. Operating cash flow decreased by approximately $4,000 between the first six months of 1996 and 1997, while net income, exclusive of the gain on sale, decreased by approximately $16,000. The difference is primarily due to the timing of distributions from both Shasta Way and Newhew. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses increased by $6,000, or 14%, between the first six months of 1996 and 1997 as increases in professional and accounting fees were partially offset by a decrease in appraisal fees. The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as determined by the managing general partner. Management fees decreased between the two six-month periods due to the decrease in distributable cash flow.
