PART I
Item 1. Financial Statements
The unaudited Financial Statements of Atlas-Energy for the Nineties-Public
#4 Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the period January 1, 1997 to Sept 30, 1997
Item 2. Description of Business
The Partnership has drilled and completed approximately 31.5 net wells to
the Clinton/Medina formation in Mercer and Venango Counties, Pennsylvania.
As of Sept 30, 1996, 31.5 net wells are in production. The first quarterly
distribution was on July 8, 1996 for natural gas production during February,
March and April, 1996. All wells are on line.
Net Production revenue for the three months was $171,447 includes pumpers
fees of $275.00 per month per well Expenses for this period include
$75.00 per month per well for administrative costs.
For the next twelve months management believes that the Partnership has
adequate capital. No other wells will be drilled and, therefore, no
additional funds will be required.
Although management does not anticipate that the Partnership will have to
do so, any additional funds which may be required will be obtained from
production revenues from Partnership wells or from borrowings by the
Partnership from Atlas or its affiliates, although Atlas is not
contractually committed to make such a loan. No borrowings will be
obtained from third parties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES--PUBLIC #4 LTD.
A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Septmeber 30, 1997
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements as of September 30, 1997 for the nine months then
ended have been prepared by the management of the Partnership without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 1996
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
presentation have been included.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil
and gas activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties, drill and equip wells and organizational and syndication costs
are capitalized. Oil and gas properties are periodically assessed and when
unamortized costs exceed expected future net cash flows, a loss is
recognized by a charge to income.
Capitalized costs of oil and gas wells, leases and organization and
syndication costs are depreciated, depleted and amortized by the unit of
production method.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------
Net production revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are down
$107,097 (14%) due primarily to normal declines in natural gas production from
435,402 Mcf in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to 361,622 Mcf in the
current nine months. The production declines are net of increases in revenues
and operating costs attributable to wells being on-line for the full period
in the current nine months compared with the prior year. Natural gas prices
increased by $.15/Mcf to $2.32/Mcf during the current nine months to partially
offset the effect of the decline in production.
Quarter Ended September 30, 1997
- --------------------------------
Net production revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are down
$134,646 (34%) due primarily to normal declines in natural gas production
from 183,944 Mcf in the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 106,087 Mcf
in the current three months. Natural gas prices increased by $.09/Mcf to
$2.21/Mcf during the current three months to partially offset the effect of a
decline in production.
Financial Position
- ------------------
Liquidity
- ---------
The partnership's working capital decreased 39% from $527,179 at December 31,
1996 to $320,966 at September 30, 1997. The decrease is attributable to
normal declines in natural gas production which result in lower receivables
for gas produced but not yet sold at the end of the reporting period.
Capital Resources
There were no new material commitments for capital expenditures during the
period and the Partnership does not expect any in the foreseeable future.
