NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual
financial statements. In the opinion of the general partner, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at
December 31, 2003 was derived from the audited financial statements
included in the Partnership's 2003 Form 10-K. For further information,
refer to the financial statements of Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P.
(the "Partnership"), and the related notes, included in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For leasing
entities, this includes the estimate of residual values and impairment as
discussed below. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included
in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and
2003 were $110,000 and $100,500 for provision for losses.
The Partnership is in its liquidation period, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement. Even so, because the liquidation period extends over an
undefined number of accounting periods, the accompanying financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates
the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary
course of business, which is in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliates
----------------------------------------------------
Management Fees Paid to General Partner
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner earns a
management fee in connection with its management of the equipment,
calculated as a percentage of the monthly gross rentals received, and paid
monthly in arrears. Managemenet fees to the general partner for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $75,092 and $100,014,
respectively. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 management fees of
$18,743 and $18,542 respectively, are included in payables to affiliates.
Direct Services from General Partner
The General Partner and an affiliate provide accounting, investor
relations, billing, collecting, asset management, and other administrative
services to the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the General Partner
for these services performed on its behalf as permitted under terms of the
Partnership Agreement. Direct services from the general partner for the
three months ended March 31,2004 and 2003 were $71,664 and $72,595,
respectively. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 direct services
from the General Partner in the amount of $24,856 and $22,802,
respectively, are included in payables to affiliates.
General and Administrative Expenses
The General Partner and an affiliate are reimbursed for the actual cost of
administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership per the terms
of the Partnership Agreement. General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended March 31,2004 and 2003 were $131,017 and $247,238,
respectively. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 administrative
expenses of $66,721 and $124,899, respectively, are included in payables to

changes in those items derived from the Statements of Income:

Net income $ 18,642 $ 4,414 $ 14,228
========= ========= =========
The Partnership entered its liquidation period in 2002, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, and will not purchase significant amounts of equipment in
future periods. Furthermore, during future periods, initial leases will expire
and the equipment will be remarketed (i.e., re-leased or sold). As a result,
both the size of the Partnership's leasing portfolio and the amount of total
revenue will decline ("portfolio runoff"). Even so, because the liquidation
period extends over an undefined number of accounting periods, the accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that
contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business, which is in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Leasing Margin
Leasing margin consists of the following:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
---------------------------
2004 2003
----------- -----------
Operating lease rentals $ 2,986,970 $ 4,054,330
Direct finance lease income 81,253 128,121
Depreciation (2,415,963) (3,221,871)
Interest expense on discounted lease rentals (301,949) (473,873)
----------- -----------
Leasing margin $ 350,311 $ 486,707
=========== ===========
Leasing margin ratio 11 % 12 %
== ==
Leasing margin and all of the components of leasing margin including operating
lease rentals, direct finance lease income, depreciation on leased equipment and
interest expense on discounted lease rentals decreased due to portfolio runoff.
Because the Partnership is in its liquidation stage, no additional equipment is
being purchased. As a result, leasing margin and its components will decline
over the remaining life of the related
8
CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Results of Operations, continued
- ---------------------
leases in the Partnership's portfolio.
Leasing margin ratio will vary due to changes in the portfolio, including, among
other things, the mix of operating leases versus direct finance leases, the
average maturity of leases comprising the portfolio, the average residual value
of leased assets in the portfolio, and the amount of discounted lease rentals
financing the portfolio. Leasing margin ratio for a direct finance lease is
fixed over the term of the lease. Leasing margin ratio for an operating lease
financed with discounted lease rentals increases during the term of the lease
since rents and depreciation are typically fixed while interest expense declines
as the related discounted lease rentals principle is repaid. Leasing margin
ratio decreased primarily as a result of the increase in the average net book
value of the operating lease portfolio and an increase in the average balance of
discounted lease rentals outstanding, both of which are discussed above.
The ultimate profitability of the Partnership's leasing transactions is
dependent in part on interest rates at the time the leases are originated,
future equipment values, and on-going lessee creditworthiness. Because leasing
is an alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend
to rise and fall with interest rates (although lease rate movements generally
lag interest rate changes in the capital markets).
Equipment Sales Margin
Equipment sales margin consists of the following:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
--------------------------
2004 2003
--------- ---------
Equipment sales revenue $ 115,934 $ 329,185
--------- ---------
Cost of equipment sales (60,826) (293,050)
Equipment sales margin $ 55,108 $ 36,135
========= =========
Equipment sales margin fluctuates based on the composition of equipment
available for sale. Currently, the Partnership is in its liquidation period (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement). Initial leases are expiring and the
equipment is either being re-leased or sold to the lessee or a third party.
Equipment sales margin varies with the number and dollar amount of equipment
leases that mature in a particular period and the current market for specific
equipment and residual value estimates.

CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Results of Operations, continued
- ---------------------
Interest Income
Interest income varies due to (1) the amount of cash available for investment
pending distribution to partners and (2) the interest rate on such invested
cash.
Expenses
Management fees paid to the general partner are earned on gross rents received
and will fluctuate due to variances in cash flow and the size of the
Partnership's portfolio. Management fees paid to the general partner decreased
due to the decrease in average portfolio size discussed above, which resulted in
a corresponding decrease in gross rents received.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a) upgrades to
computer equipment and the associated consulting expenses that were incurred in
2003 and b) change in recognition of prepaid insurance and state income tax
expenses.
Provision for Losses
The realization of greater than the carrying value of equipment (which occurs
when the equipment is remarketed subsequent to initial lease termination) is
reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin
(if the equipment is re-leased). The realization of less than the carrying value
of equipment is recorded as provision for losses.
Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from
the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the
Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee,
including, for example, the likelihood that the lessee will re-lease or purchase
the equipment. The nature of the Partnership's leasing activities is such that
it has credit exposure and residual value exposure and will incur losses from
those exposures in the ordinary course of business. The Partnership performs
quarterly assessments of the estimated residual value of its assets to identify
any impairments in value that, if any, are also recorded as provision for
losses.
The provision for losses of $110,000 recorded during the three months ended
March 31, 2004 related primarily to losses on equipment returned to the
Partnership at lease maturity occurring because the residual realized is
expected to be less than the residual value originally estimated.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Liquidity & Capital Resources
- -----------------------------
The Partnership is in its liquidation period, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement. The Partnership is not purchasing additional equipment, initial
leases are expiring, and the amount of equipment being remarketed (i.e.,
re-leased, renewed, or sold) is generally decreasing. As a result, both the size
of the Partnership's lease portfolio and the amount of leasing revenue are
declining. Even so, because the liquidation period extends over an undefined
number of accounting periods, the accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets
and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, which is in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents
and sales of off-lease equipment. The decline of net cash provided by operating
activities of approximately $1,000,000 from the three months ended March 31,
2003 to March 31, 2004 is primarily due to a reduction in equipment under lease.
Available cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are invested in short-term
government securities pending distribution to the partners.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership declared
distributions to the Class A limited partners of $743,985 ($306,323 of which was
paid in April 2004). All such distributions are expected to constitute a return
of capital for economic purposes. Distributions may be characterized for tax,
accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital, or
a portion of both. The portion of each cash distribution that exceeds its net
income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital for accounting
purposes. However, the total percentage of the partnership's return on capital
over its life will only be determined after all residual cash flows (which
include proceeds from the re-leasing and sale of equipment) have been realized
at the termination of the partnership.
The General Partner believes that the Partnership will generate sufficient cash
flows from operations during the remainder of 2004, to (1) meet current
operating requirements, and (2) fund cash distributions to Class A limited
partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. All distributions are
expected to be a return of capital for economic and accounting purposes.
Additionally, the General Partner anticipates that all equipment owned by the
Partnership will be sold and the Partnership liquidated between 2004 and 2006.
However, the Partnership has not entered into a formal liquidation plan as of
March 31, 2004.

1995
- ----
The statements contained in this report which are not historical facts may be
deemed to contain forward-looking statements with respect to events, the
occurrence of which involve risks and uncertainties, and are subject to factors
that could cause actual future results to differ both adversely and materially
from currently anticipated results, including, without limitation, the level of
lease originations, realization of residual values, the availability and cost of
financing sources and the ultimate outcome of any contract disputes. Certain
specific risks associated with particular aspects of the Partnership's business
are discussed under Results of Operations in this report and under Results of
Operations in the 2003 Form 10-K when and where applicable.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership's leases with equipment users are non-cancelable and have lease
rates that are fixed at lease inception. The Partnership finances its leases, in
part, with discounted lease rentals. Discounted lease rentals are a fixed rate
debt. The Partnership's other assets and liabilities are also at fixed rates.
Consequently, the Partnership has minimal interest rate risk or other market
risk exposure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
the General Partner's management, including the President and Director, and the
Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation,
the General Partner's management, including the President and Director, and the
Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Partnership required to be included in the
Partnership's periodic SEC reports.
