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, 2001, 2,680 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 General Partner of CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership in 2001 started
the process of winding up the Partnership and expects to complete the wind-up
during 2002. As of December 31, 2001 the Partnership had fifty-four remaining
leases in its portfolio.
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 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 meets 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, 2001, substantially all of the remaining equipment in the
Partnership's portfolio was leased under 54 separate leases to 35 lessees.
The lessees representing 10% of total revenues during 2001 were as
follows:
America Online Inc. 21%
America West Airlines, Inc. 17%
Tradepoint PLC. 14%
Cardservice International, Inc. 11%
As of December 31, 2001, approximately 11% of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio (based on cost) is leased outside the United States. The
Partnership's acquisition and leasing of equipment is 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; and (2) 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 2001.
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, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was
$6,501,299, $9,902,211, and $14,903,995, respectively. Net income for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $578,076, $1,048,500, and
$1,249,602, respectively. The decrease in rental income is primarily due to
lease expirations anticipated as the partnership approaches wind-up. Net
income was impacted by the sale of equipment from three (3) large computer
related equipment leases that expired during the fourth quarter of 2001. These
three leases from one lessee, originated in 1997, and contained approximately
$11,300,000 in original equipment cost. A significant portion of this
equipment was sold during the fourth quarter of 2001 resulting in a loss on
sale of this equipment of $561,917 primarily due to more rapid obsolescence
than originally anticipated. Overall, the sale of equipment during 2001
resulted in a loss of $347,139, as compared to a gain of $711,614, and $258,512,
for the years ended 2000 and 1999. Depreciation expense for 2001, 2000 and 1999
was $4,975,058, $8,056,432, and $11,508,608, respectively.
Interest income for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $239,047, $209,433, and $158,617,
respectively. Interest expense was $74,425, $460,138, and $1,050,363 for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2001, the Partnership generated $5,790,905 in cash flow from
Operations and $2,100,966 cash flow from the sale of equipment. The
Partnership utilized the majority of these funds to reduce outstanding
notes payable by $1,967,579 and make cash distributions of $5,289,579
to the Partners.
During, the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership purchased an
interest, as an interim lender, in a short-term investment secured by an
equipment lease obligation yielding 7.75% interest. During 2001, the
Partnership recorded approximately $192,000 in interest income related to this
investment. The Partnership's portion of the short-term loan participation
was repaid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The General Partner of CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership in 2001 started
the process of winding up the Partnership and expects to complete the wind-up
during 2002. As of December 31, 2001 the Partnership had fifty-four remaining
leases in its portfolio.
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 82% to 104% 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.
During year 2001, CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership increased the monthly
distribution on October 15th from $.83 per unit to $1.00 per unit. Future
distributions will continue throughout the wind-up at which point a final larger
distribution may be expected.
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. The General Partner
will continue to report on the Limited Partners' return of investment with each
cash distribution.

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, 2001 and 2000, 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Partnership is in its
wind-up phase as provided for in the Partnership Agreement and the General
Partner expects to complete the wind-up during calendar year 2002.
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, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the three years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
(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, 2001, the
Partnership has 506,776 units of Limited Partnership interest outstanding
representing aggregate capital contributions of $50,677,600.
The General Partner of CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership in 2001 started
the process of winding up the Partnership and expects to complete the wind-up
during 2002. As of December 31, 2001 the Partnership had fifty-four remaining
leases in its portfolio.
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. As provided by the Partnership Agreement, pursuant to Section
8.3 (c), accounting profits from the sale of equipment as part of the wind-up
of the Partnership are allocated to each partner first in an amount equal to
the negative balance in the Capital Account of each partner. During the year
2001 certain of these gains were allocated for accounting purposes to the
General Partner to reduce its Capital Account negative balance.
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. During 1994, the Limited
Partners approved an Amendment to the Partnership Agreement allowing for the
payment of Management Fees based on gross rental revenues on Sales Agency
leases.
(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 value depreciation adjustments in
2001, 2000 or 1999.
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 in 2001, 2000 and
1999 was $1,456,716, $2,102,735, and $3,058,315, respectively. The differences
between Partnership taxable income and book income are primarily due to the
the difference between tax and book depreciation methods and the related
differences in the gain or loss on sales of equipment. Partnership taxable
income was greater in 2001 since accelerated depreciation for tax purposes
was applied in earlier years.
CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
The Partnership considers investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investment in 2001 represents an interest, as an interim lender, in
an investment secured by an equipment lease obligation and is reported at fair
and actual value.
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. Also, in
accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Partnership Agreement, during the
year 2000, the Partnership reached it's expiration period for new equipment
acquisitions which lead to the announced wind-up process.
A summary of changes in rental equipment owned and its related accumulated
depreciation is as follows:
