ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
Ryland Acceptance Corporation Four (the "Company") was incorporated in Virginia on February 12, 1985 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of LPS Holdings Corporation (LPS) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of The Ryland Group, Inc. (Ryland). Ryland is a diversified homebuilding and mortgage- finance company.
The Company was formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the long-term financing of mortgage loans. The Company issues collateralized mortgage- backed bonds (the "bonds") in series and uses the net proceeds from the sale of the bonds to: 1) purchase mortgage collateral from Ryland Mortgage Company (RMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryland, 2) purchase mortgage collateral from other homebuilders or financial institutions and 3) fund loans secured by mortgage collateral to limited-purpose subsidiaries of homebuilders or financial institutions participating in the issuance of the bonds.
The Company has issued and recorded in the financial statements, 43 series of bonds with an initial principal amount of $4.34 billion as of December 31, 1995. In 1988, certain classes within 27 of the original 43 series of bonds with mortgage collateral of $516 million were sold to Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc., formerly RAC Mortgage Investment Corporation, a publicly held real estate investment trust. Also included in the sale were certain residual cash flows of various bond series. The related mortgage collateral and bond balances are not included in the financial statements as described below.
In addition, as of December 31, 1995, the Company has issued 56 series of bonds with an original principal balance of $12.03 billion under a program initiated during 1987 whereby the Company uses its shelf registration to issue bonds on behalf of other companies. These bonds and the associated mortgage collateral are excluded from the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the issuance of these bonds has been accounted for as a sale of the associated mortgage collateral in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
During 1994, the Company acquired bonds of $12.8 million and the related collateral from another company. These bonds had previously been issued from the Company's shelf registration and accounted for as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles.
It is anticipated that regular payments under the terms of the mortgages, as well as early mortgage retirements, will reduce the number of mortgages and amount of bonds outstanding in future years. The Company does not anticipate the issuance of additional series of bonds.
On February 13, 1985, the Company filed an initial registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), providing for the issuance of bonds in series. Registration statements have been filed as follows:
At December 31, 1995, the Company had $626.2 million of bonds remaining for issuance under a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bonds sold in private placements do not reduce the remaining issuance shelf. Since inception, the amount of bonds issued in private placements was $.9 million.
The bonds are secured by mortgage collateral which is comprised of GNMA certificates guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, mortgage participation certificates issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, other mortgage certificates issued by private companies, mortgage loans secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust and funds held by trustee (collectively, the "mortgage collateral"). The mortgage collateral is pledged to Bank of New York, (the "Trustee"), under an Indenture. The mortgage loans constituting the mortgage collateral are either insured by the Federal Housing Administration, partially insured by private mortgage insurance or partially guaranteed by the U.S. Veterans Administration. The bonds are not guaranteed or insured by Ryland, RMC, LPS or any other affiliated entities.
Certain series of bonds are secured by mortgage collateral beneficially owned by a finance company. Pursuant to a funding agreement, the finance company pledges mortgage collateral and certain other collateral to the Company to secure a note receivable in an amount equal to the collateral value, as defined in the Indenture, of the pledged mortgage collateral and bearing interest generally at the weighted average interest rate of the applicable bond series. The Company assigns each funding agreement to the Trustee as security for the applicable bond series.
Each series of bonds is secured by mortgage collateral with an aggregate collateral value of not less than the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of that series. Additionally, the bonds of a series may be further secured by one or more of the following: 1) cash or letters of credit to fund a buy-down fund for a series secured by one or more buy-down mortgage loans; 2) cash or letters of credit to fund a special reserve fund for certain series secured by mortgage loans; 3) mortgage pool insurance; 4) special hazard insurance; 5) mortgagor bankruptcy insurance; 6) master servicing agreement; 7) servicing agreements; 8) cash to fund other accounts and reserves; and 9) additional mortgage collateral.
During 1991, RMC assumed the Company's obligation to maintain cash deposits with the Trustee for mortgagor bankruptcy risk associated with the mortgage collateral. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash deposits of $.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were maintained by RMC.
The Company competes in a national market with other private conduits, thrift institutions and financial firms. Economic conditions, interest rates, prepayment speeds, regulatory changes and market dynamics all influence the market for collateralized mortgage bonds.
LEGEND:
* These bonds are variable interest rate bonds. These bonds will bear interest at rates based upon the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, as specified in each Series Supplement to the Indenture between the Company and Bank of New York, as Trustee, dated February 1, 1985, as heretofore supplemented, amended and restated.
** These classes of bonds represent REMIC residual interests and other classes for which varying interest rates as described in each Series' Supplement apply.
*** These classes of bonds represent private placements of residual interests which have no stated interest rate.
**** For purposes of this schedule only, the balances shown for these series have been reduced by the January 1, 1996 bond payment.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the following review.
The Company was formed on January 25, 1985 solely for the purpose of facilitating the long-term financing of mortgage loans through the issuance and sale of mortgage-backed bonds (the "bonds"). Since its inception, the Company has issued and recorded in the financial statements 43 series of bonds. The bond series shown in the financial statements represent obligations solely of the Company, and are secured by mortgage collateral originated by Ryland Mortgage Company (RMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Ryland Group, Inc. (Ryland), and by other entities. The bonds are not guaranteed or insured by Ryland, RMC, LPS Holdings Corporation or any other affiliated entities.
The Company issues bonds in series and uses the net proceeds from the sale of the bonds to: (1) purchase mortgage collateral from RMC, (2) purchase mortgage collateral from other homebuilders or financial institutions and (3) fund loans secured by mortgage collateral to limited-purpose subsidiaries of homebuilders or financial institutions participating in the issuance of the bonds. The bonds are structured such that the cash flows from the underlying mortgage collateral will be sufficient to satisfy the bond obligations. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $626.2 million of collateralized mortgage bonds remaining for issuance under a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, the Company uses its shelf registration to issue bonds on behalf of other companies. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had issued 56 series of bonds under these arrangements. These bonds and the associated mortgage collateral are excluded from the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the issuance of these bonds has been accounted for as a sale of the associated mortgage collateral in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has relinquished all risks and rewards relating to the bonds payable and associated mortgage collateral. The Company has elected to treat 49 series of these bonds as real estate mortgage investment conduits for tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company did not issue any bonds.
During 1994, the Company acquired bonds of $12.8 million and the related collateral from another company. These bonds had previously been issued from the Company's shelf registration and accounted for as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles.
The bonds were reduced during the year for payments and prepayments on the underlying mortgage collateral. A bond series or a class within certain series may be redeemed at par at the earlier of the date specified in the Indenture or when the outstanding collateral value of the mortgage securities securing the bond series or class is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial collateral value of such securities. During the year ended December 31, 1995, certain classes within each of 8 series totaling $58.1 million were redeemed. During the year ended December 31, 1994, certain classes within each of 17 series totaling $291.2 million were redeemed.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, revenues consisted primarily of interest on mortgage collateral subject to the bond indebtedness and amortization of deferred items, and totalled $44,557, $58,142 and $104,366, respectively. The amount of revenues reported during each period depends primarily upon the amount of mortgage collateral outstanding during each such period, the related prepayment rates and the interest rates on such mortgage collateral. The Company's average net investment in mortgage collateral (excluding funds held by trustee) and the average effective rate of interest income are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 consisted primarily of interest on the Company's outstanding bonds and amortization of deferred costs, and totaled $44,546, $58,062 and $104,310, respectively. The amount of expenses reported during each period depends primarily upon the amount of bonds outstanding during each such period and the interest rates on such bonds. The Company's average debt outstanding and average cost of borrowings are as follows (dollars in thousands):
The bonds will decline over time in direct proportion to the decline in the mortgage collateral.
Net cash flows that are generated based upon the differential between the interest rates of the bonds outstanding and the mortgage collateral are described as the net interest spreads. Excluding the impact of the amortization of deferred costs, the net interest spread of a bond generally is higher during the earlier years since bond classes with earlier stated maturities generally have lower interest rates than classes with later stated maturities. Because the weighted average interest rate of the bonds is lower during the earlier years and the interest rates on the underlying collateral are fixed, there is a greater net interest spread in the earlier years. The number of bonds issued by the Company in which a net interest spread is retained has decreased substantially since 1988.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Mortgage collateral held by the Company is pledged as collateral for the mortgage-backed bonds, the terms of which provide for the retirement of all bonds from the proceeds of the mortgage collateral. Cash flows from payments on the mortgage collateral, together with proceeds of reinvestment income earned on the mortgage collateral, are intended to provide cash sufficient to make all required payments of principal and interest on each outstanding series of bonds. The Company anticipates that it will require no additional funds to meet the obligation on its outstanding bonds.
During 1991, RMC assumed the Company's obligation to maintain cash deposits with the Trustee for mortgagor bankruptcy risk associated with the mortgage collateral. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash deposits of $.2 million and $1.7 million were maintained by RMC.
It is anticipated that regular payments under the terms of the mortgages, as well as early mortgage retirements, will reduce the number of mortgages and amount of bonds outstanding in future years. The Company does not anticipate the issuance of additional series of bonds.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ryland Acceptance Corporation Four and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

December 31, 1995 (dollars in thousands)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Ryland Acceptance Corporation Four (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of LPS Holdings Corporation (LPS) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of The Ryland Group, Inc. (Ryland). The Company was organized to facilitate the long-term financing of mortgage loans originated by Ryland Mortgage Company (RMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryland, and other entities through the issuance and sale of mortgage-backed bonds.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, C.C. Holding Company and Brock Acceptance Corporation (BAC). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Collateral for Bonds Payable
Collateral for bonds payable consists of mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans receivable, notes receivable from participants, funds held by trustee and various types of insurance. Mortgage-backed securities consist primarily of GNMA certificates, FNMA mortgage pass-through certificates and FHLMC participation certificates. Mortgage loans receivable consists of loans collateralized by first mortgages or first deeds of trust on single family attached or detached houses.
Notes receivable represent funding agreements with unaffiliated entities (the "participants") participating in the Company's bond programs. The Company issues bonds and lends proceeds to the participants in accordance with funding agreements. These funding agreements are fully collateralized by mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The Company has assigned to the Trustee its interest in these funding agreements and the underlying loans and mortgage-backed securities as collateral for a corresponding amount of bonds. Principal and interest on the funding agreements are payable concurrently and at the same rate as such payments on the bonds.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
Collateral for Bonds Payable (Continued)
Funds held by trustee represent payments on mortgage collateral and reinvestment earnings on such funds which have not been applied to pay principal and interest on the bonds. These funds are restricted to assure payment in accordance with the Trust Indenture ("the Indenture").
The mortgage collateral securing the bonds may include mortgage loans that are delinquent or non-performing, and real estate owned ("REO") properties. At December 31, 1995, Mortgage loans receivable and Notes receivable include 145 loans in the amount of $14.2 million that are delinquent, non-performing, or REO properties. At December 31, 1994, Mortgage loans receivable and Notes receivable include 153 loans in the amount of $16.6 million that are delinquent, non-performing, or REO properties. Reserves for these loans have not been established as any anticipated losses would be covered by primary mortgage insurance, hazard insurance, mortgagor bankruptcy insurance or mortgage pool insurance policies. Since the Company's inception, the Company has recovered $20.7 million from pool insurance which represents less than 1% of the initial total principal balance of mortgage loans. At December 31, 1995, $258.6 million or 93% of the initial pool insurance coverage remains available for future potential losses. Management believes that this coverage is adequate. As of December 31, 1995, the pool insurer has been rated AAA by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.
Mortgage loans receivable acquired from an affiliate are valued at the affiliate's net carrying amount which is the lower of cost or market at the time of transfer.
Collateral for bonds payable are reported net of loan origination discount points and purchase price discounts. These discounts are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related collateral for bonds payable and are amortized into interest income over their respective lives using the interest method adjusted currently for the effects of prepayments.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of bonds are capitalized and amortized over the respective lives of the bonds using the interest method adjusted currently for the effects of prepayments. These costs are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Bond Price Discounts
Price discounts incurred in connection with the issuance of bonds are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the bonds and are amortized into interest expense over the lives of the bonds using the interest method adjusted currently for the effects of prepayments.

Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by Ryland. Consolidated income taxes are allocated to the Company using the separate return method. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109), effective January 1, 1993. Prior to the adoption of FAS 109, income taxes were accounted for in accordance with FAS 96. The impact of the adoption of FAS 109 was not material. Certain items of income and expense are included in one period for financial reporting purposes and another for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided in recognition of these differences.
Mortgage Backed Securities
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company adopted the provisions of the new standard for investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994.
Management determines the appropriate classification of mortgage backed securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. The Company has classified its investments in mortgage-backed securities as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are accounted for at amoritized cost. Securities classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair market value with market value changes, net of tax, reflected as a component of stockholder's equity. Because the Indentures prohibit liquidation of collateral for bonds payable, fair values cannot be realized unless the corresponding bonds payable are redeemed.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Special Report No. 155-B, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", as an aid in understanding and implementing Statement 115. The effect of adopting this implementation guidance as of December 31, 1995 has resulted in the reclassification of $45,825 of mortgage backed securities from the held-to- maturity classification to the available-for-sale classification. The related unrealized gain recorded in stockholder's equity totaled $1,213, net of deferred taxes of $808. Restatement of prior periods to reflect the effects of initially adopting this implementation guidance is not permitted.

NOTE B--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (FAS 107), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet.
FAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of cash flow. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

NOTE B--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The estimated fair values of the company's financial instruments are as follows:
The company used the following methods and assumptions in estmating fair values:
Cash: The carrying amounts of cash approximate fair values.
Mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans receivable: Fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar certificates, loans or securities.
Notes receivable: Fair values are based on quoted market prices for securities comparable to those that collateralize the notes receivable.
Funds held by trustee: The carrying amounts of funds held by trustee approximate fair values.
Bonds payable: Fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.
Because the Indentures prohibit liquidation of collateral for bonds payable, fair values cannot be realized unless the corresponding bonds payable are redeemed. As more fully described in Note C, the bonds can be redeemed before maturity by the Company only under certain prescribed conditions.

NOTE C--BONDS PAYABLE
Bonds payable represent mortgage-backed bond series issued by the Company. Neither Ryland, nor any affiliated entities have guaranteed, nor are they otherwise obligated, with respect to these bond issues.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, mortgage-backed bond series consisted of series with various classes maturing in the years 2006 through 2019. Payments are made on a periodic basis as a result of, and in amounts related to, corresponding payments received on the underlying mortgage collateral. Also, additional payments of the bonds may occur prior to maturity in accordance with certain provisions of the Indenture and related Series Supplements between the Company and the Trustee. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the classes of each series of bonds bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 7.25% to 12.625%.
During 1994, the Company acquired bonds of $12.8 million and the related collateral from another company. These bonds had previously been issued from the Company's shelf registration and accounted for as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles.
Under certain provisions of the Indenture, a bond series or a class within certain series may be redeemed at par prior to the stated maturity date. The redemption may take place at the earlier of specified dates or when the outstanding collateral value (as defined in the Indenture) of the mortgage securities securing the bond series or class is less than or equal to a specified percentage of its initial collateral value of such securities. Certain classes within each of 8 series totaling $58.1 million were redeemed in 1994 and certain classes within each of 17 series totaling $291.2 million were redeemed in 1994.
The Company uses its shelf registration to issue bonds on behalf of other companies. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had issued 56 series of bonds under these arrangements. These bonds and the associated mortgage collateral are excluded from the financial statements of the Company since these transactions have been accounted for as sales of the associated mortgage collateral in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The outstanding principal balance at December 31, 1995 and 1994, of bonds issued by the Company which is not included in the accompanying financial statements is $2 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company did not issue any bonds.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had $626.2 million of collateralized mortgage bonds remaining for issuance under a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Also included in bonds payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are funding notes payable totaling $.9 million and $1.0 million which represent BAC's participation in bond series issued by an unaffiliated entity.

NOTE D--TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Company records various intercompany transactions with affiliates and Ryland. These transactions include ongoing charges related to the outstanding bonds. The amount of these charges for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $.2 million, $.4 million and $2.4 million, of which $.3 million, $.3 million, and $.5 million is recorded in interest revenue and ($.1) million, $.1 million and $1.9 million is recorded in other revenue, respectively.
The Company is charged a finance charge which is based on the average outstanding balance of advances made by Ryland and RMC. The amount of finance charge, which has been recorded in interest expense, is $.3 million, $.3 million and $.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Interest is calculated at approximate market rates. The carrying values of Due to affiliate were $3,209 and $3,911 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Included in bonds payable are amounts which RMC holds totaling $72,704 and $80,887 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest incurred on the bonds payable amounted to $7,380 and $9,254 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
An affiliate performed the administration function through June 30, 1995 for the bonds issued under the Company's shelf registration statement. The affiliate was sold as of June 30, 1995 and continues to provide these functions as an unaffiliated entity. There were no payable balances related to administration fees to affiliated companies at December 31, 1995. Payable balances related to administration fees to affiliated companies were $155 at December 31, 1994.
In addition, an affiliate performs the loan servicing function for certain mortgage loans collateralizing the bonds. All fees and related expenses in connection with these services are recorded in the affiliates' financial statements.
During 1991, RMC assumed the Company's obligation to maintain cash deposits with the Trustee for mortgagor bankruptcy risk associated with the mortgage collateral. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash deposits of $.2 million and $1.7 million were maintained by RMC.
NOTE E--INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes under the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 , "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109), effective January 1, 1993. Prior to the adoption of FAS 109, income taxes were accounted for in accordance with FAS 96. As both FAS 96 and 109 required the liability method, the adoption of FAS 109 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
