PART I Item 1. Business. (a) General Development of Business AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on September 29, 1988 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the Managing General Partner (AFG Leasing IV Incorporated) and $100 from the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). The common stock of the Managing General Partner is owned by AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership, of which American Finance Group ("AFG"), a Massachusetts partnership, and a wholly-owned affiliate, are the 99% limited partners and AFG Programs, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation wholly-owned by Geoffrey A. MacDonald, is the 1% general partner. On December 29, 1988, the Partnership issued 873,935 units, representing assignments of limited partnership interests (the "Units"), to 1,331 investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other than the Initial Limited Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized Owners. Subsequent to the Partnership's Closing, the Partnership had four General Partners: AFG Leasing IV Incorporated, a Massachusetts corporation, Daniel J. Roggemann, Martin F. Laughlin, and Geoffrey A. MacDonald (collectively, the "General Partners"). Pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"), the General Partners agreed to the withdrawal of Messrs. Laughlin and Roggemann as Individual General Partners. The General Partners are not required to make any other capital contributions except as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Restated Agreement, as amended. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments The Partnership is engaged in only one industry segment: the business of acquiring capital equipment and leasing the equipment to creditworthy lessees on a full payout or operating lease basis. Full payout leases are those in which aggregate noncancellable rents exceed the Purchase Price of the leased equipment. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate noncancellable rental payments are less than the Purchase Price of the leased equipment. Industry segment data is not applicable. (c) Narrative Description of Business The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to various full payout and operating leases and to lease the equipment to third parties as income-producing investments. More specifically, the Partnership's primary investment objectives are to acquire and lease equipment which will: 1. Generate quarterly cash distributions; 2. Preserve and protect invested capital; and 3. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale. The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain federal income tax benefits. The Closing Date of the Offering of Units of the Partnership was December 29, 1988. The initial purchase of equipment and the associated lease commitments occurred on December 30, 1988. The acquisition of the equipment and its associated leases is described in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 1999. The Partnership has no employees; however, it entered into a Management Agreement with AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership. At the same time, AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership entered into an identical Management Agreement with AFG (the "Manager") (collectively, the "Management Agreement"). The Manager's role, among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and consummate the acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing, financing, and refinancing of equipment, and (iii) arrange the resale of equipment. The Manager is compensated for such services as described in the Restated Agreement, as amended, Item 13 herein, and in Note 4 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The Partnership's investment in equipment is, and will continue to be, subject to various risks, including physical deterioration, technological obsolescence and defaults by lessees. A principal business risk of owning and leasing equipment is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues and equipment sale proceeds will be insufficient to provide an acceptable rate of return on invested capital after payment of all debt service costs and operating expenses. Consequently, the success of the Partnership is largely dependent upon the ability of the Managing General Partner and its Affiliates to forecast technological advances, the ability of the lessees to fulfill their lease obligations and the quality and marketability of the equipment at the time of sale. In addition, the leasing industry is very competitive. Although all funds available for acquisitions have been invested in equipment, subject to noncancellable lease agreements, the Partnership will encounter considerable competition when equipment is re-leased or sold at the expiration of primary lease terms. The Partnership will compete with lease programs offered directly by manufacturers and other equipment leasing companies, including limited partnerships and trusts organized and managed similarly to the Partnership and including other AFG sponsored partnerships and trusts, which may seek to re-lease or sell equipment within their own portfolios to the same customers as the Partnership. Many competitors have greater financial resources and more experience than the Partnership, the General Partners and the Manager. Generally, the Partnership is prohibited from reinvesting the proceeds generated by refinancing or selling equipment. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the Partnership will begin to liquidate its portfolio of equipment at the expiration of the initial and renewal lease terms and to distribute the net liquidation proceeds. As an alternative to sale, the Partnership may enter re-lease agreements when considered advantageous by the Managing General Partner and the Manager. In accordance with the Partnership's stated investment objectives and policies, the Managing General Partner also is considering winding-up the Partnership's operations, including the liquidation of its entire portfolio. Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is incorporated herein by reference to Note 2 to the financial statements in the 1995 Annual Report. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Default by a lessee under a lease may cause equipment to be returned to the Partnership at a time when the Managing General Partner or the Manager is unable to arrange for the re-lease or sale of such equipment. This could result in the loss of a material portion of anticipated revenues and significantly weaken the Partnership's ability to repay related debt. AFG is a successor to the business of American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management, principally Geoffrey A. MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of AFG, established AFG Holdings (Massachusetts) Limited Partnership ("Holdings Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings Massachusetts effected this event by acquiring all of the equity interests of AFG's two partners, AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership ("Holdings Illinois") and AFG Corporation. Holdings Massachusetts incurred significant indebtedness to finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature in 1995. On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings Massachusetts (the "Senior Lender") assumed control of its security interests in Holdings Illinois and AFG Corporation and sold all such interests to GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled entirely by Gary D. Engle, President and a member of the Executive Committee of AFG. As a result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of the assets, rights and obligations of AFG from the Senior Lender and assumed control of AFG. Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG and member of its Executive Committee. (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales Not applicable. Item 2. Properties. Incorporated herein by reference to Note 3 to the financial statements in the 1995 Annual Report. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Incorporated herein by reference to Note 7 to the financial statements in the 1995 Annual Report. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder Matters. (a) Market Information There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop. (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders At December 31, 1995, there were 1,200 recordholders of Units in the Partnership. (c) Dividend History and Restrictions Pursuant to Article VI of the Restated Agreement, as amended, the Partnership's Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings are determined and distributed to the Partners quarterly. Each quarter's distribution may vary in amount. Distributions may be made to the Managing General Partner prior to the end of the fiscal quarter; however, the amount of such distribution reflects only amounts to which the Managing General Partner is entitled at the time such distribution is made. Currently, there are no restrictions that materially limit the Partnership's ability to distribute Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings or that the Partnership believes are likely to materially limit the future distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings. The Partnership expects to continue to distribute all Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings on a quarterly basis.
Distributions in 1995 and 1994 were as follows: General Recognized Total Partners Owners Total 1995 distributions $ 1,268,972 $ 12,690 $ 1,256,282 Total 1994 distributions 1,765,524 17,655 1,747,869 Total $ 3,034,496 $ 30,345 $ 3,004,151
Distributions payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $275,863 and $441,381, respectively. "Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current liabilities of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent deemed reasonable by the Managing General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by the Managing General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations and reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout, further reduced by all accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees. Distributable Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings. "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts realized from any loss or destruction of equipment which the Managing General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar equipment for the remainder of the original lease term of the lost or destroyed equipment, or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the Managing General Partner determines that investment of such proceeds will significantly improve the diversity of the Partnership's equipment portfolio, and subject in either case to satisfaction of all existing indebtedness secured by such equipment to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the Managing General Partner, or (b) the proceeds from the sale of an interest in equipment pursuant to any agreement governing a joint venture which the Managing General Partner determines will be invested in additional equipment or interests in equipment and which ultimately are so reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees. "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership from sale or refinancing transactions, as reduced by (i)(a) all debts and liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of sale or refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any liabilities on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and any remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the General Partners, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees whether or not then due and payable) and (b) any reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by the Managing General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by the Managing General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations. In the event the Partnership accepts a note in connection with any sale or refinancing transaction, all payments subsequently received in cash by the Partnership with respect to such note shall be included in Cash From Sales or Refinancings, regardless of the treatment of such payments by the Partnership for tax or accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives purchase money obligations in payment for equipment sold, which are secured by liens on such equipment, the amount of such obligations shall not be included in Cash From Sales or Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied. Each distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings of the Partnership shall be made 99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners until Payout and 85% to the Recognized Owners and 15% to the General Partners after Payout. "Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all distributions to the Recognized Owners of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the Recognized Owners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual return of 10.5% (compounded quarterly and calculated beginning with the last day of the month of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate unreturned capital contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only to the extent that distributions of cash to the Recognized Owners exceed the amount required to satisfy the cumulative annual return of 10.5% (compounded quarterly) on the Recognized Owners' aggregate unreturned capital contributions, such calculation to be based on the aggregate unreturned capital contributions outstanding on the first day of each fiscal quarter. Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings ("Distributions") are distributed within 45 days after the completion of each quarter, beginning with the first full quarter following the Partnership's Closing Date. Each Distribution is described in a statement sent to the Recognized Owners. Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The ownership and organization of AFG is described in Item 1 of this report. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is AFG Leasing IV Incorporated, an affiliate of AFG. (a) Transactions with Management and Others 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 the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows: 1995 1994 1993 Equipment management fees $ 55,193 $ 97,368 $ 172,576 Administrative charges 17,592 12,000 14,955 Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties 55,877 52,581 86,114 Total $ 128,662 $ 161,949 $ 273,645
As provided under the terms of the Management Agreement, AFG is compensated for its services to the Partnership. Such services include all aspects of acquisition, management and sale of equipment. For acquisition services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price paid by the Partnership. For management services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of gross lease rental revenue earned by the Partnership or (ii) fees which the Managing General Partner reasonably believes to be competitive for similar services for similar equipment. Both of these fees are subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Compensation to AFG for services connected to the sale of equipment is calculated as the lesser of (i) 3% of gross sale proceeds or (ii) one-half of reasonable brokerage fees otherwise payable under arm's length circumstances. Payment of the remarketing fee is subordinated to Payout and is subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Restated Agreement, as amended, for persons employed by AFG who are engaged in providing administrative services to the Partnership. Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties represent costs paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG. All equipment was purchased from AFG, one of its affiliates, including other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party sellers. The Partnership's Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note 2, Equipment on Lease. 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 December 31, 1995, the Partnership was owed $119,651 by AFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in January 1996. On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a newly formed Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled by certain principals of AFG, commenced a voluntary cash Tender Offer (the "Offer") for up to approximately 45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in this Partnership and 20 affiliated partnerships sponsored and managed by AFG. The Offer was subsequently 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. Following commencement of the Offer, certain legal actions were initiated by interested persons against AALP, each of the general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and various other affiliates and related parties. One action, a class action brought in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the "Court") on behalf of the unitholders (Recognized Owners), sought to enjoin the Offer and obtain unspecified monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation was approved by the Court on November 15, 1995. A second class action, brought in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "Superior Court") seeking to enjoin the Offer, obtain unspecified monetary damages, and intervene in the first class action, was dismissed by the Superior Court. The Plaintiffs have filed an appeal in this matter. The Recognized Owners of the Partnership tendered approximately 77,141 units or 8.83% of the total outstanding units of the Partnership to AALP. The operations of the Partnership are not expected to be adversely affected by these proceedings or settlements. (b) Certain Business Relationships None. (c) Indebtedness of Management to the Partnership None. (d) Transactions with Promoters See Item 13(a) above. PART IV Item 14. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and Reports on Form 8-K.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to the year ended December 31, 1993 Overview As an equipment leasing partnership, American Income Partners IV-B Limited 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 progresses through various stages. Initially, all equipment generates rental revenues under primary term lease agreements. During the life of the Partnership, these agreements expire on an intermittent basis and equipment held pursuant to the related leases are renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such conditions by American Finance Group ("AFG") to obtain the most advantageous economic benefit. Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment portfolio becomes available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and from sales or refinancings begins to fluctuate. Ultimately, all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. In accordance with the Partnership's stated investment objectives and policies, the Managing General Partner is considering the winding-up of the Partnership's operations, including the liquidation of its entire portfolio. The Partnership's operations commenced in 1988. Results of Operations For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership recognized lease revenue of $1,103,850 compared to $1,947,354 and $3,451,518 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in lease revenue between 1993 and 1995 was expected and resulted principally from primary lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. The Partnership also earns interest income from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments. 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. In 1995, the Partnership sold equipment having a net book value of $56,323 to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $134,140 compared to a net gain in 1994 of $577,408 and a net gain in 1993 of $278,529 on equipment having a net book value of $158,762 and $436,923 respectively. 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 was $358,661, $787,866 and $3,360,131 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 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. (See Note 2 to the financial statements herein.) Interest expense was $11,584 or 1% of lease revenue in 1995, $25,619 or 1.3% of lease revenue in 1994 and $95,430 or 2.8% of lease revenue in 1993. 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 in each of the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 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 6.7%, 3.3%, and 2.9% of lease revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Operating expenses as a percentage of lease revenue were higher during 1995 compared to prior years due to an increase in professional service costs. 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 $945,180, $1,967,998 and $3,228,287 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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 1995, the Partnership realized $190,463 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $736,170 and $715,452 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. 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 $192,500 of refurbishment costs incurred to upgrade a cargo vessel leased by Gearbulk Shipowning Ltd. ("Gearbulk"), formerly Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi A/S, pursuant to the terms of an extended and renegotiated contract with Gearbulk. 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 vessel. 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 years, 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 year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,268,972. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"), the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or $1,256,282, and the General Partners were allocated 1%, or $12,690. The fourth quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on January 22, 1996. 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. 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, 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 of 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. In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur asset refurbishment or upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing activities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will occur during the life of the Partnership.

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 1995 -11- NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS The Partnership was organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on September 29, 1988, for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the Managing General Partner (AFG Leasing IV Incorporated) and $100 from the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). The common stock of the Managing General Partner is owned by AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership, of which American Finance Group ("AFG"), and a wholly-owned affiliate, are the 99% limited partners and AFG Programs, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation wholly-owned by Geoffrey A. MacDonald, is the 1% general partner. On December 29, 1988 the Partnership issued 873,935 units, representing assignments of limited partnership interests (the "Units"), to 1,331 investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other than the Initial Limited Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized Owners. Subsequent to the Partnership's Closing on December 29, 1988, the Partnership had four General Partners: AFG Leasing IV Incorporated, a Massachusetts corporation, Daniel J. Roggemann, Martin F. Laughlin and Geoffrey A. MacDonald (collectively, the "General Partners"). Pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"), the General Partners agreed to the withdrawal of Messrs. Laughlin and Roggemann as Individual General Partners. The General Partners are not required to make any other capital contributions except as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Restated Agreement, as amended. AFG is a successor to the business of American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management, principally Geoffrey A. MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of AFG, established AFG Holdings (Massachusetts) Limited Partnership ("Holdings Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings Massachusetts effected this event by acquiring all of the equity interests of AFG's two partners, AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership ("Holdings Illinois") and AFG Corporation. Holdings Massachusetts incurred significant indebtedness to finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature in 1995. On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings Massachusetts (the "Senior Lender") assumed control of its security interests in Holdings Illinois and AFG Corporation and sold all such interests to GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled entirely by Gary D. Engle, President and a member of the Executive Committee of AFG. As a result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of the assets, rights and obligations of AFG from the Senior Lender and assumed control of AFG. Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG and member of its Executive Committee. Significant operations commenced December 30, 1988 when the Partnership made its initial equipment purchase. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as amended, Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings will be allocated 99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners until Payout and 85% to the Recognized Owners and 15% to the General Partners after Payout. Payout will occur when the Recognized Owners have received distributions equal to their original investment plus a cumulative annual return of 10.5% (compounded quarterly) on undistributed invested capital. Under the terms of a Management Agreement between the Partnership and AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership and the terms of an identical management agreement between AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership and AFG (collectively, the "Management Agreement"), management services are provided by AFG to the Partnership at fees which the Managing General Partner believes to be competitive for similar services. (Also see Note 4.) AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Cash Flows The Partnership considers liquid investment instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Partnership invests excess cash with large institutional banks in reverse repurchase agreements with overnight maturities. Under the terms of the agreements, title to the underlying securities passes to the Partnership. The securities underlying the agreements are book entry securities. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had $640,000 invested in reverse repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities. Revenue Recognition Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly, quarterly or semi-annually and no significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time. The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. Future minimum rents of $2,427,041 are due as follows: For the year ending December 31, 1996 $ 872,355 1997 739,093 1998 573,645 1999 241,948 Total $ 2,427,041
Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is as follows: 1995 1994 1993 Gearbulk Shipowning Ltd. (formerly Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi A/S) $ 403,824 $ 410,752 $ 444,033 Northwest Airlines, Inc. $ 282,750 $ 351,988 $ 440,220 Building Materials Corporation of America $ 171,037 $ 199,542 -- Fred Meyer, Inc. -- $ 277,195 $ 396,011 Bally's Health & Tennis Corporation -- -- $ 419,575
The Managing General Partner identified certain rents receivable as potentially uncollectable at December 31, 1993. As such, lease revenue was reduced by $100,000 in 1993. The reserve was reviewed and considered adequate at December 31, 1994 and 1995. It cannot be determined whether the Partnership will recover any such rents in the future; however, the Managing General Partner will pursue the collection of all past due items. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Equipment on Lease All equipment was acquired from AFG, one of its affiliates, including other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party sellers. Equipment cost represents asset base price plus acquisition fees and was determined in accordance with the Restated Agreement, as amended, and certain regulatory guidelines. Asset base price is affected by the relationship of the seller to the Partnership as summarized herein. Where the seller of the equipment was AFG or an affiliate, asset base price was the lower of (i) the actual price paid for the equipment by AFG or the affiliate plus all actual costs accrued by AFG or the affiliate while carrying the equipment less the amount of all rents earned by AFG or the affiliate prior to selling the equipment or (ii) fair market value as determined by the Managing General Partner in its best judgment, including all liens and encumbrances on the equipment and other actual expenses. Where the seller of the equipment was a third party who did not manufacture the equipment, asset base price was the lower of (i) the price invoiced by the third party or (ii) fair market value as determined by the Managing General Partner. Where the seller of the equipment was a third party who also manufactured the equipment, asset base price was the manufacturer's invoice price, which price was considered to be representative of fair market value. Depreciation The Partnership's depreciation policy is intended to allocate the cost of equipment over the period during which it produces economic benefit. The principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each asset's primary lease term, which term generally represents the period of greatest revenue potential for each asset. Accordingly, 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 an asset 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. 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. Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate Unpaid operating expenses paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership are reported as Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate.(See Note 4.) Allocation of Profits and Losses For financial statement purposes, net income or loss is allocated to each Partner according to their respective ownership percentages (99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners). See Note 6 concerning allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes. Net Income and Cash Distributions Per Unit Net income and cash distributions per Unit are based on 873,935 limited partnership units outstanding during each of the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and computed after allocation of the General Partners' 1% share of net income and cash distributions. Provision for Income Taxes No provision or benefit from income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. The Partners are responsible for reporting their proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other tax attributes on their tax returns. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the impact of adoption to be material to the financial statements of the Partnership.
NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at December 31, 1995. In the opinion of AFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment did not exceed its fair market value. Lease Term Equipment Equipment Type (Months) at Cost Location Vessels 63-72 $ 3,296,257 Foreign Aircraft 38 3,110,533 MN Manufacturing 60 1,348,044 CA/UT Retail store fixtures 36-72 636,001 FL Materials handling 5-60 437,744 MI/NC/VA Medical 24-60 73,506 CA/IN Locomotives 60 53,445 MO Tractors and heavy duty trucks 12-60 22,156 NC Total equipment cost 8,977,686 Accumulated depreciation (5,827,635) Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 3,150,051
In 1994, the Partnership incurred and capitalized costs of $192,500 to refurbish and improve a cargo vessel leased by Gearbulk Shipowning Ltd. ("Gearbulk"), formerly Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi A/S, pursuant to the terms of an extended and renegotiated lease contract with Gearbulk. Refurbishment costs were financed by a third-party lender and shared between the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in proportion to their respective ownership interests in the vessel. The refurbishment costs will be depreciated over 15 years. In certain cases, the cost of the Partnership's equipment represents a proportionate ownership interest. The remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG. 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. 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. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of $8,406,412, representing approximately 94% of total equipment cost. Certain of the equipment and related lease payment streams were used to secure term loans with third-party lenders. The preceding summary of equipment includes leveraged equipment having an original cost of approximately $193,000 and a net book value of approximately $159,000 at December 31, 1995. (See Note 5.) Generally, the costs associated with maintaining, insuring and operating the Partnership's equipment are incurred by the respective lessees pursuant to terms specified in their individual lease agreements with the Partnership. As equipment is sold to third parties, or otherwise disposed of, the Partnership recognizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the net book value of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized upon sale or disposition. The ultimate realization of estimated residual value in the equipment is dependent upon, among other things, AFG's ability to maximize proceeds from selling or re-leasing the equipment upon the expiration of the primary lease terms. The summary above includes equipment held for sale or re-lease with an original cost and net book value of approximately $53,000 and $17,000, respectively, at December 31, 1995.
NOTE 4 - 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 the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows: 1995 1994 1993 Equipment management fees $ 55,193 $ 97,368 $ 172,576 Administrative charges 17,592 12,000 14,955 Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties 55,877 52,581 86,114 Total $ 128,662 $ 161,949 $ 273,645
As provided under the terms of the Management Agreement, AFG is compensated for its services to the Partnership. Such services include all aspects of acquisition, management and sale of equipment. For acquisition services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price paid by the Partnership. For management services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of gross lease rental revenue earned by the Partnership or (ii) fees which the Managing General Partner reasonably believes to be competitive for similar services for similar equipment. Both of these fees are subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Compensation to AFG for services connected to the sale of equipment is calculated as the lesser of (i) 3% of gross sale proceeds or (ii) one-half of reasonable brokerage fees otherwise payable under arm's length circumstances. Payment of the remarketing fee is subordinated to Payout and is subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Restated Agreement, as amended, for persons employed by AFG who are engaged in providing administrative services to the Partnership. Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties represent costs paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG. All equipment was purchased from AFG, one of its affiliates, including other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party sellers. The Partnership's Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note 2, Equipment on Lease. 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 December 31, 1995, the Partnership was owed $119,651 by AFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in January 1996. On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a newly formed Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled by certain principals of AFG, commenced a voluntary cash Tender Offer (the "Offer") for up to approximately 45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in this Partnership and 20 affiliated partnerships sponsored and managed by AFG. The Offer was subsequently 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. Following commencement of the Offer, certain legal actions were initiated by interested persons against AALP, each of the general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and various other affiliates and related parties. One action, a class action brought in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the "Court") on behalf of the unitholders (Recognized Owners), sought to enjoin the Offer and obtain unspecified monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation was approved by the Court on November 15, 1995. A second class action, brought in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "Superior Court") seeking to enjoin the Offer, obtain unspecified monetary damages, and intervene in the first class action, was dismissed by the Superior Court. The Plaintiffs have filed an appeal in this matter. The Recognized Owners of the Partnership tendered approximately 77,141 units or 8.83% of the total outstanding units of the Partnership to AALP. The operations of the Partnership are not expected to be adversely affected by these proceedings or settlements. NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable at December 31, 1995 consisted of an installment note of $120,313 payable to an institutional lender. This note is non-recourse, with a fluctuating interest rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.5%. At December 31, 1995, the applicable LIBOR rate was approximately 7.44%. The note is collateralized by the equipment and assignment of the related lease payments and will be fully amortized by noncancellable rents. The annual maturities of the installment note payable are as follows: For the year ending December 31, 1996 $ 48,125 1997 48,125 1998 24,063 Total $ 120,313 NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of the Partnership. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or loss to each class of partner according to their respective ownership percentages (99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners). This convention differs from the income or loss allocation requirements for income tax and Dissolution Event purposes as delineated in the Restated Agreement, as amended. For income tax purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or net loss in accordance with the provisions of such agreement. The Restated Agreement, as amended, requires that upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partners will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any negative balance which may exist in the General Partners' tax capital account. At December 31, 1995, the General Partners had a positive tax capital account balance.
The following is a reconciliation between net income reported for financial statement and federal income reporting tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993: 1995 1994 1993 Net income $ 781,201 $ 1,584,993 $ 19,499 Financial statement depreciation in excess of (less than) tax depreciation (264,266) 39,495 1,643,600 Prepaid rental income (662) (85,225) 65,284 Other 47,858 (17,652) 187,839 Net income for federal income tax reporting purposes $ 564,131 $ 1,521,611 $ 1,916,222 The principal component of "Other" consists of the difference between tax gain on equipment disposals and the financial statement gain on disposals.
The following is a reconciliation between partners' capital reported for financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994: 1995 1994 Partners' capital $ 3,579,548 $ 4,067,319 Add back selling commissions and organization and offering costs 2,562,184 2,562,184 Financial statement distributions in excess of tax distributions 2,759 4,414 Cumulative difference between federal income tax and financial statement income (loss) (1,533,800) (1,316,730) Partners' capital for federal income tax reporting purposes $ 4,610,691 $ 5,317,187 Financial statement distributions in excess of tax distributions and cumulative difference between federal income tax and financial statement income (loss) represent timing differences.
NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In April 1992, a lessee of the Partnership, Ryan Operations G.P. (d.b.a. "Ryan Homes"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. AFG, on behalf of the Partnership and certain other AFG-sponsored programs, filed a proof of claim in this matter. The lease obligations of Ryan Homes were guaranteed by its affiliate, NV Homes L.P., which also filed for protection under Chapter 11 in 1992. Equipment leased to Ryan Homes had a cost of approximately $377,700 at the time of the bankruptcy filing. In 1994 and 1995, the Partnership sold all of the affected equipment resulting in net gains of $106,570 and $13,100, respectively, for financial statement purposes. This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Partnership. In 1993, Affiliated Food Stores, Inc., a lessee of the Partnership, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. AFG filed a proof of claim on behalf of the Partnership for all amounts owed by this lessee. Equipment leased to this lessee had a cost of approximately $712,000 at the time of the bankruptcy filing. The Partnership sold the equipment in 1993, 1994 and 1995, resulting in net gains of approximately $30,000, $27,000 and $45,000, respectively, for financial statement purposes. This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Partnership. 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 $224,000 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 $1,451 of equipment previously leased to the Debtor and recognized a net gain of $213 for financial statement purposes. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned other equipment, having an original cost of $636,274, which was leased to the Debtor. This equipment represents approximately 7% 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; however, a sale with respect to such equipment is currently pending. 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 24,319 shares of the Debtor's common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The common stock, which had a market value of $2.38 per share (for 17,023 of the shares) and $2.56 per share (for 7,296 of the shares) 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. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT On January 1, 1995, AFG entered into a series of agreements with PLM International, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California ("PLM"), whereby PLM would: (i) purchase, in a multi-step transaction, certain of AFG's assets and (ii) provide accounting, asset management and investor services to AFG and certain of AFG's affiliates, including the Partnership and all other equipment leasing programs managed by AFG (the "Investment Programs"). On January 3, 1996, AFG and PLM executed an amendment to the 1995 agreements whereby PLM purchased: (i) AFG's lease origination business and associated contracts, (ii) the rights to the name "American Finance Group" and associated logo, and (iii) certain furniture, fixtures and computer software. PLM hired AFG's marketing force and certain other support personnel effective January 1, 1996 in connection with the transaction and relinquished its responsibilities under the 1995 agreements to provide accounting, asset management and investor services to AFG, its affiliates and the Investment Programs after December 31, 1995. Accordingly, AFG and its affiliates retain ownership and control and all authority and rights with respect to each of the general partners or managing trustees of the Investment Programs; and AFG, as Manager, will continue to provide accounting, asset management and investor services to the Partnership. Pursuant to the 1996 amendment to the 1995 agreements, AFG and certain of its affiliates agreed not to compete with the lease origination business sold to PLM for a period of five years. AFG reserved the right to satisfy all equipment needs of the Partnership and all other Investment Programs and reserved certain other rights not material to the Partnership. AFG also agreed to change its name, except where it is used in connection with the Investment Programs. AFG's management considers the amendment to the 1995 agreements to be in the best interest of AFG and the Partnership. AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS IV-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP SCHEDULE OF EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF TOTAL CASH GENERATED TO COST OF EQUIPMENT DISPOSED for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 The Partnership classifies all rents from leasing equipment as lease revenue. Upon expiration of the primary lease terms, equipment may be sold, rented on a month-to-month basis or re-leased for a defined period under a new or extended lease agreement. The proceeds generated from selling or re-leasing the equipment, in addition to any month-to-month revenues, represent the total residual value realized for each item of equipment. Therefore, the financial statement gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized upon sale or disposition may not reflect the aggregate residual proceeds realized by the Partnership for such equipment.
The following is a summary of cash excess associated with equipment dispositions occurring in the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. 1995 1994 1993 Rents earned prior to disposal of equipment, net of interest charges $ 2,000,791 $ 5,840,174 $ 4,082,161 Sale proceeds realized upon disposition of equipment 190,463 736,170 715,452 Total cash generated from rents and equipment sale proceeds 2,191,254 6,576,344 4,797,613 Original acquisition cost of equipment disposed 1,800,744 5,354,535 4,338,490 Excess of total cash generated to cost of equipment disposed $ 390,510 $ 1,221,809 $ 459,123
