Part I
Item 1. Business
CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized under the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act. The Partnership is composed of CSA Lease Funds, Inc. (an
affiliate of CSA Financial Corp.), the sole General Partner, and as of
December 31, 1999, 2,707 Limited Partners owning 506,776 Units of Limited
Partnership Interest of $100 each. The capital contributions of the Partners
aggregated $50,677,600. The Partnership was formed on December 21, 1989 and
commenced operations on April 18, 1990.
The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of acquiring
income-producing equipment for investment. The Partnership's principal
objectives are:
1. To acquire and lease equipment, primarily through Operating Leases,
to generate income during their entire useful life;
2. To provide monthly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners
from leasing revenues and from the proceeds of sale or other
disposition of Partnership equipment;
3. To reinvest in additional equipment a portion of lease revenues and
a substantial portion of Cash From Sales and Refinancing during the
first years of the Partnership's operations.
The Partnership was formed primarily for investment purposes and not as a "tax
shelter".
The Partnership shall terminate on December 31, 2014 unless sooner terminated.
The Partnership has no direct employees. The General Partner has full and
exclusive discretion in management and control of the Partnership.
Selection of the equipment for purchase and lease is based principally on the
General Partner's evaluation of the usefulness of the equipment in commercial
or industrial applications and its estimate of the potential demand for the
equipment at the end of the initial lease term.
The Partnership's equipment may include:
1. New and reconditioned computer peripheral equipment, computer terminal
systems and data processing systems manufactured by companies such as Compaq
Computer Corporation, Dell Computer Corporation, EMC Corporation and
International Business Machines, Inc. (IBM).
2. New telecommunications and telecomputer equipment consisting
primarily of private automated branch exchanges (PBX's), advanced
high-speed digital telephone switching devices, voice/data
transmission devices and telephone/computer networks as well as
telephone handsets and facsimile transmission products.
3. New office equipment consisting primarily of photocopying and
graphic processing equipment.
4. New highway transportation equipment and new and reconditioned
transportation equipment consisting primarily of tractors,
trailers, trucks, intermodal equipment, railroad rolling stock,
passenger vehicles and corporate or commercial aircraft.
5. Miscellaneous other types of equipment which meet the investment
objectives of the Partnership.
The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. In initiating its leasing
transactions, the Partnership competes with leasing companies, manufacturers
that lease their products directly, equipment brokers, dealers and financial
institutions, including commercial banks and insurance companies. Many
competitors are larger than the Partnership and have access to more favorable
financing. Competitive factors in the equipment leasing business primarily
involve pricing and other financial arrangements. Marketing capability is
also a factor.
As of December 31, 1999, substantially all of the remaining equipment in the
Partnership's portfolio was leased under 136 separate leases to 72 lessees. The
lessees providing at least 10% of total revenues during 1999 are as follows:
America Online Inc. 22%
Siemens Business Communications Systems, Inc. 12%
As of December 31, 1999, approximately 12% of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio (based on cost) is leased outside the United States. The Partnership's
leases and equipment are described more fully in Notes 3 and 4 to the
Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Item 2. Properties
The Partnership neither owns nor leases office space or equipment for the
purpose of managing its day-to-day affairs. The General Partner, CSA Lease
Funds, Inc. ("CLF"), has exclusive control over all aspects of the business
of the Partnership, including provision of any necessary office space. As
such, CLF will be compensated through Management fees and reimbursement of
General and Administrative costs related to managing the Partnership's
business. Excluded from the allowable reimbursement to the General Partner,
however, will be any of the following: (1) Expenditures for rent or
utilities; (2) Capital equipment and the related depreciation; and
(3) Certain other administrative items.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is not a party to any pending legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 1999.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Equity Securities and Related
Security Holder Matters
a. The Partnership's limited partnership interests are not publicly traded.
There is no active market for the Partnership's limited partnership interests
and it is unlikely that one will develop. However, partners have received
offers to purchase their Limited Partnership units from third parties. In
such cases the General Partner has recommended the partner should consult
their Financial Advisors. If the partner still has intentions of selling
their units, the General Partner, through its affiliate CSA Financial Corp.
("CSA"), would be willing to make an offer. In certain cases, CSA has
purchased Partnership units.

Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Rental income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
$14,903,995, $16,031,035, and $12,413,441, respectively. Net income for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1,249,602, $2,670,654, and
$2,716,253, respectively. The decrease in rental income and net income is
primarily due to the anticipated lease expirations as the partnership ages.
Net income was also affected, in comparison, by a gain on sale of equipment
in 1999 of $258,512, as compared to $863,210, and $865,137 for the years
ended 1998 and 1997. Depreciation expense for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
$11,508,608, $10,967,117, and $8,072,215, respectively.
Interest income for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $158,617, $69,999, and $124,960,
respectively. Interest expense was $1,050,363, $1,626,363, and $1,123,693 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 1999, the Partnership generated $12,503,473 in cash flow from operations
and $2,805,158 from the sale of equipment. The Partnership utilized these
funds and proceeds from notes payable of $3,192,141 to reduce outstanding
notes payable by $10,210,436, make cash distributions of $3,242,000 and
acquire additional equipment of $2,230,104.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had approximately $1,000,000 in
equipment off lease and in storage. The General Partner expects to remarket
this equipment during the first half of year 2000.
The Partnership will continue to invest in select short term leases that will
maximize the total return of the Limited Partners. On February 23, 1998, the
Partnership reached its five year Anniversary Date of Closing. As of that
anniversary date, no additional cash receipts from operations or sale of
equipment can be used for the purchase of equipment. However, cash on hand
and cash from the financing of existing leases may be used for purchase of
equipment. The Partnership has approximately $1,200,000 available to invest
in equipment during year 2000.
The Partnership's liquidity is determined by cash from operations provided by
the leases currently in place. It is expected that this cash flow will be
sufficient to service outstanding debt, pay monthly distributions to the
partners and meet any other commitments and obligations which may arise in
the ordinary course of business.
To date, the Partnership has made cash distributions to the Limited Partners
ranging from 63% to 85% of their initial investment, depending on when the
Limited Partner entered the Partnership. The objective of the Partnership is
to return the Limited Partners' investment through current distributions and
provide a return on this investment by continued distributions.
The Partnership will continue to seek high yielding short term leases to
maximize the overall return to the Limited Partners. The General Partner, as
previously stated, anticipates beginning the wind-up of the Partnership
in year 2000, which may continue into calendar year 2002.
CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership increased the monthly distribution as
of November 15th from an annualized rate of 6% to 8%. Future distributions will
be based on the Partnership's current cash position, as well as, forecasted
cash flow projections.
Management reviews the Partnership's projected performance on a periodic basis.
Based on an analysis of the remaining assets in the Partnership's portfolio
completed as part of the annual audit process, the General Partner presently
estimates that the continued cash distributions will return the entire initial
investment of the Limited Partners and a return thereon. However, the magnitude
of the return may be lower than originally anticipated at the inception of
the Partnership. The General Partner will continue to report on the Limited
Partners' return of investment with each cash distribution.
The General Partner completed year 2000 ("Y2K") compliant requirements during
1999 and the Company has experienced no "Y2K" related problems in year 2000
to date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of CSA Income
Fund IV Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in partners' capital
(deficit) for the three years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial position of CSA Income Fund IV Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
(1) Organization
CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") was formed under the
Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on December 21, 1989 with an
initial investment of $1,000, from its sole General Partner, CSA Lease Funds,
Inc. and the purchase of 10 Limited Partnership Units at $100 each by an
initial Limited Partner. The Partnership's primary activity is to invest in
equipment to be leased to third parties. On February 22, 1990, the
Partnership began its offering of Limited Partnership Units. The Partnership
commenced operations on April 18, 1990. As of December 31, 1999, the
Partnership has 506,776 units of Limited Partnership interest outstanding
representing aggregate capital contributions of $50,677,600.
Distributable cash from operations, sales or refinancing and profits or losses
for federal income tax purposes are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and
1% to the General Partner until Payout has occurred, and thereafter, 85% and
15% respectively. Payout is achieved when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners equals the amount of the Limited
Partners' original invested capital plus a cumulative 9% annual return
(compounded daily) on unreturned invested capital.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is liable to the
General Partner (or its affiliates) for management fees calculated at 5% of
gross rental revenues and to certain reimbursable operating expenses subject
to limitations stated in the Partnership Agreement.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
The Partnership accounts for equipment leases as operating leases; therefore,
rental income is reported when earned. Equipment purchases are depreciated on
a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease to estimated
realizable value. On a periodic basis, the Partnership conducts a review of
the residual value of its equipment as compared to the estimated net
realizable values for such equipment upon expiration of the related lease.
In connection with this review , there were no residual values depreciation
adjustments in 1999 or 1998. In the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Partnership recorded additional charges of $74,500 to depreciation expense.
Deferred income represents prepaid rentals received for active leases that are
recognized when earned.
No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is
that of the Partners rather than the Partnership. The Partnership's federal
tax return is prepared solely to arrive at the Partners' individual taxable
income or loss as reported on form K-1. Partnership taxable income (loss)
in 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $3,058,315, $1,271,389, and ($7,349,952),
CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
respectively. The differences between Partnership taxable income and book
income are primarily due to the difference between tax and book depreciation
methods and the related differences in the gain or loss on sales of equipment.
The Partnership considers short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(3) Rental Equipment
The Partnership purchases equipment subject to existing leases either
directly from CSA Financial Corp. or the manufacturer. The purchase price to
the Partnership is equal to the lesser of fair market value or cost as
adjusted, if necessary, for rents received and carrying costs, plus an
acquisition fee of 4% of cost. In accordance with Section 6.4 (b) of the
Partnership Agreement, the total of all acquisition fees paid to the General
Partner shall not exceed 15% of the total Capital Contributions received by
the Partnership. This lifetime acquisition fee limit was met during 1996
and the General Partner is no longer paid acquisition fees on any new
Partnership equipment acquisitions. On February 23, 1998, the Partnership
reached its five year Anniversary Date of Closing. As of that anniversary
date, no additional cash receipts from operations or sale of equipment can
be used for the purchase of equipment. However, cash on hand and cash from
the financing of existing leases may be used for purchase of equipment.
The Partnership has approximately $1,200,000 available to invest in
equipment during year 2000.
A summary of changes in rental equipment owned and its related accumulated
depreciation is as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of

the Partnership for debt with the same remaining maturity. The carrying
amount of notes payable approximates fair value.
