The Plan of Liquidation authorizes asthe ~~well~~General asPartners ato ~~response~~transfer and assign the Partnership’s remaining assets to a ~~recent~~liquidating ~~offer~~trust to ~~purchase~~facilitate ~~limited~~the ~~partnership~~Partnership’s dissolution. ~~units~~In furtherance of the Plan of Liquidation, on March 21, 2016, the Partnership entered into a Liquidating Trust Agreement (the “~~Units~~Liquidating Trust Agreement”) with Rancon Financial Corporation, as trustee of the ~~Partnership.~~Liquidating Trust (the A“Trustee”), ~~copy~~in ofconnection with the ~~letter~~formation toof ~~limited~~The ~~partners~~Rancon isRealty ~~furnished~~Fund ~~with~~IV ~~this~~Liquidating ~~Form~~Trust ~~8-K~~(the ~~as Exhibit 99~~“Liquidating Trust”).1.

~~Item~~In 7accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Partnership transferred all of its remaining assets to the Liquidating Trust to be administered, disposed of or provided for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.01 Also ~~Regulation~~as FDof ~~Disclosure~~the Effective Date, the Partners, as beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust (“Beneficiaries”), have received beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust (the “Beneficial Interests”). The purpose of the Liquidating Trust is to provide for the orderly liquidation of the assets transferred to it by the Partnership, to pay the liabilities of the Partnership and the expenses of administering the Liquidating Trust, and to make liquidating distributions to the Beneficiaries in accordance with their Beneficial Interests. The existence of the Liquidating Trust will terminate upon a date determined by the Trustee (the “Termination Date”) after the Trustee has distributed to all Beneficiaries, other than Beneficiaries who cannot be located (“Missing Beneficiaries”), all of the Trust’s assets in accordance with the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, which is intended to take place within three years from the date of the Liquidating Trust’s formation; provided that the Trustee has the discretion to delay such final distribution if in its good faith determination it should not be made at that time, so long as such date is no more than 21 years after the date of the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The existence of the Liquidating Trust may, however, be extended beyond such three year term if the Trustee determines that the final distribution should not be made at that time. Notwithstanding such termination of the Liquidating Trust and the Trust Agreement on the Termination Date, the Liquidating Trust shall continue to exist for the purpose of winding up its affairs, collecting and discharging its remaining obligations, and disposing of its remaining assets, including disposing of any assets that are distributable to Missing Beneficiaries in accordance with applicable state laws regarding escheatment and abandoned property.

~~Also on~~On ~~or around~~ March 925, 2016, the Partnership ~~will~~filed ~~mail~~ a ~~letter~~Certificate toof ~~custodians~~Cancellation ~~and~~with ~~pension~~the ~~plan~~California ~~trustees~~Secretary ~~holding~~of ~~outstanding~~State, ~~Units~~cancelling the limited partnership, ~~providing~~and anfiled ~~estimate~~a byForm 15 with the ~~General~~Securities ~~Partners~~and ofExchange Commission (the ~~value~~“Commission”) to terminate the registration of anthe ~~outstanding~~limited ~~Unit~~partnership ofunits in the Partnership. asAccordingly, the Partnership will cease filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act of ~~February~~1934. 29However, ~~2016.

As stated in the letter, no third-party appraisals were obtained in connection with the General Partners’ valuation of the Units, and the General Partners’ valuation and the methodology they employed to value the Units was not verified or reviewed by any third-party advisor, including the Partnership’s auditors. The ~~actual~~foregoing ~~amount for which the Partnership’s properties~~summary ~~are~~of ~~eventually sold may be materially lower than~~ the ~~current~~Liquidating ~~estimates~~Trust ofAgreement ~~their~~is ~~fair~~qualified ~~market~~in ~~values~~its ~~made~~entirety by ~~the~~reference ~~General~~to ~~Partners. Furthermore, since~~ the ~~average~~full ~~value~~text ~~per Unit only represents the arithmetic mean~~ of the ~~amounts~~Liquidating ~~which~~Trust ~~the General Partners estimate will be distributed with respect to each Unit~~Agreement, ~~the actual amount distributed with respect to each Unit will very likely vary from~~ ~~such value depending upon the date and price such Units were originally acquired from the Partnership (whether by such Limited Partner or, in the case of Units~~ which ~~were~~is ~~acquired~~filed inas ~~the~~Exhibit ~~secondary market, the original holder of such Unit at the time of initial issuance) and the accrued preferred return for such Unit~~99.1 Itto ~~should~~this ~~also~~Form be8-K ~~noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries~~ and ~~IRA custodians~~is ~~may~~incorporated ~~use~~herein Unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Partnership’s outstanding Units in secondary market trades, and that such estimated Unit valuations likely will be lower than that estimated by ~~the General Partners as set forth in the attached letter~~reference.
