Item 1. Business
--------

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on December 18, 1995 and is engaged in the
business of owning and leasing equipment. CAI Equipment Leasing V Corp., a
Colorado corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Associates, Inc.
("CAI"), is the general partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership commenced business operations on April 16, 1996. On February 9,
1998, the Partnership sold the remaining planned maximum placement of 500,000
Class A limited partner units. During 1998, the Partnership entered its
reinvestment period as defined in the Partnership Agreement. A summary of the
Partnership's offering activities is presented below:

======== ====== ============ =========== ============


Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), an affiliate of the general
partner, is the Class B limited partner of the Partnership. In exchange for its
Class B limited partner interest, CAII contributed cash of $10,000 for each
$1,000,000 of investors' capital contributions (i.e., cash investments in the
Partnership) to the Partnership. CAII's interest in Distributable Cash is
subordinated to the Class A limited partners' interest. The contributions of
CAII were made simultaneously with the purchase of equipment by the Partnership.
Through December 31, 1998, CAII contributed $500,000 to the Partnership.

The Partnership's overall investment objectives are to (i) raise the maximum
allowable capital from investors for investment in accordance with the
Partnership's investment objectives described in the Prospectus (which was
reached on February 9, 1998); (ii) invest such capital and related indebtedness
in a diversified portfolio of equipment subject to leases with terms ranging
from two to seven years; (iii) if funds are available for distribution, make
monthly cash distributions to the Class A and Class B limited partners during
the reinvestment period (a period that ends approximately June 30, 2003); (iv)
re-invest all available undistributed cash from operations and cash from sales
in additional equipment during the reinvestment period to increase the
Partnership's portfolio of revenue-generating equipment provided suitable
equipment can be identified and acquired; and (v) sell or otherwise dispose of
the Partnership's equipment and other assets in an orderly manner and promptly
distribute cash from sales thereof to the Partners within three years of the end
of the reinvestment period.

During 1998, the Partnership acquired equipment of various types under lease to
third parties. All of the equipment was purchased by CAII directly from
manufacturers or from other independent third parties and sold to the
Partnership. The equipment is generally comprised of transportation and
industrial equipment, office furniture and equipment, and computer and
peripheral equipment, among others (the "equipment"). See Item 13 of this
report, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for the detail listing

Item 1. Business, continued
--------

of equipment purchased during 1998. The Partnership expects that a majority of
the equipment purchased during 1999 will be similar in nature to the equipment
acquired in 1998. As of December 31, 1998, the general partner has identified
approximately $600,000 of additional equipment that satisfied the Partnership's
acquisition criteria that is expected to be acquired during the first quarter
1999.

The Partnership may assign the rentals from leases to financial institutions, or
acquire leases subject to such assignments, at fixed interest rates on a
non-recourse basis. This non-recourse debt financing, also referred to as
discounted lease rentals, will be utilized to finance the purchase of equipment
under lease, or to invest the proceeds therefrom in additional equipment under
lease. In the event of default by a lessee, the financial institution has a
first lien on the underlying leased equipment with no further recourse against
the Partnership. Cash proceeds from such financings, or the assumption of such
assignments incurred in the acquisition of leases are recorded on the balance
sheet as discounted lease rentals. As lessees make payments to financial
institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

During 1998, the Partnership leased equipment to investment grade lessees in
diverse industries including the material handling, telecommunications and
manufacturing industries. Approximately 77% of the Partnership's equipment under
lease was leased to investment grade lessees as of December 31, 1998. Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, an investment grade lessee is a company (i) with a
net worth in excess of $100,000,000 (and no debt issues that are rated); or (ii)
with a credit rating of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's Investor
Services, Inc. or comparable credit rating, as determined by another recognized
credit rating service; or (iii) a lessee, all of whose lease payments have been
unconditionally guaranteed or supported by a letter of credit issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements. The Partnership limits its credit
risk through selective use of non-recourse debt financing of future lease
rentals, as described above.

The Partnership only acquires equipment that is on lease at the time of
acquisition. After the initial term of its lease, each item of equipment will be
expected to provide additional investment income from its re-lease or sale. Upon
expiration of the initial lease, the Partnership attempts to re-lease or sell
the equipment to the existing lessee. If a re-lease or sale to the lessee cannot
be negotiated, the Partnership will attempt to lease or sell the equipment to a
third party.

The Partnership's business is not subject to seasonal variations.

The ultimate rate of return of the Partnership's leasing transactions is
dependent, in part, on the general level of interest rates at the time the
leases are originated, as well as 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). The amount of future distributions to the partners will
depend, in part, on future interest rates.

The Partnership has no employees. The officers, directors and employees of the
general partner and its affiliates perform services on behalf of the
Partnership. The general partner is entitled to receive certain fees and expense
reimbursements in connection with the performance of these services. See Item 10
of this Report, "Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership" and Item
13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," which are
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1. Business, continued
--------

The Partnership competes in the leasing marketplace as a lessor with a
significant number of other companies, including equipment manufacturers,
leasing companies and financial institutions. The Partnership competes mainly on
the basis of the expertise of its general partner in remarketing equipment,
terms offered in its transactions, pricing and service. Although the Partnership
does not account for a significant percentage of the leasing market, the general
partner believes that the Partnership's marketing strategies and financing
capabilities enable it to compete effectively in the equipment leasing and
remarketing markets.

The Partnership leases equipment to a significant number of lessees. No lessee
accounted for more than 10% of total revenue of the Partnership during 1998.

The Partnership is required to dissolve and distribute all of its assets no
later than December 31, 2007. However, the general partner anticipates that all
equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be liquidated prior to that
date.


Item 2. Properties
----------

Per the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership does not own or lease any
physical properties other than the equipment discussed in Item 1 "Business," of
this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------

Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's equipment is the subject of
any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
---------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership,
through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 1998.

Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Matters
-------

(a) The Partnership's Class A limited partner units, Class B interest and
general partner interest are not publicly traded. There is no established
public trading market for such units and interests and none is expected to
develop.

(b) At December 31, 1998, there were 2,345 Class A limited partners.

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 by a partnership which exceeds its
net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital for
accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a partnership's
return on capital over its life can 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 distribution for the month ended December 31, 1998, totaling $487,997,
was paid to the Class A limited partners on January 4, 1999. Distributions
to the general partner and Class B limited partner during 1998 are
discussed in Item 13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."

The general partner believes the Partnership will generate sufficient cash
flows from operations during 1998, to (1) meet current operating
requirements, (2) enable it to fund cash distributions to both the Class A
and Class B limited partners at annualized rates of 10.5% of their capital
contributions, (portions of which are expected to constitute returns of
capital) and (3) reinvest in additional equipment under leases, provided
that suitable equipment can be identified and acquired.

LEASING MARGIN

Leasing margin consists of the following:

Years Ended December 31,
-----------------------------------------
1998 1997 1996*
---- ---- ----

Operating lease rentals $ 18,926,287 $ 11,394,668 $ 881,778

Depreciation (15,287,524) (9,213,581) (659,574)
Interest on discounted lease rentals (1,355,602) (1,254,984) (26,542)
------------ ------------ ----------
Leasing margin $ 2,598,528 $ 1,185,661 $ 203,467
============ ============ ==========

Leasing margin ratio 14% 10% 23%
============ ============ ==========

* For the period from April 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1996.

All components of leasing margin increased due to growth in the Partnership's
lease portfolio. Leasing margin ratio fluctuates primarily due to non-recourse
interest expense. Interest on discounted lease rentals did not increase in 1998
at the same rate as the other components of leasing margin. As a result, leasing
margin ratio increased for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, approximately 40% of the
Partnership's portfolio consisted of operating leases financed with non-recourse
debt while for the comparable period in 1996, the portfolio was minimally
financed with non-recourse debt and therefore, leasing margin was not materially
impacted by interest expense. Leasing margin and the related leasing margin
ratio for an operating lease financed with non-recourse debt increases during
the term of the lease since rents and depreciation are typically fixed while
interest expense declines as the related non-recourse debt is repaid.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on interest rates at the
time the leases are originated, as well as, 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 from remarketing consists of the following:

1998
----

Equipment sales revenue $ 1,095,706
Cost of equipment sales (899,272)
-----------
Equipment sales margin $ 196,434

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations, continued

I. Results of Operations, continued

EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN, continued

Equipment sales margin is affected by the number and dollar amount of equipment
leases that mature in a particular period. Currently, a portion of the
Partnership's initial leases have expired and the equipment is either being
re-leased or sold to the lessee or third parties.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income decreased in 1998 compared to 1997 due to an increase in
equipment purchases and a corresponding decrease in invested cash. Throughout
1997, the Partnership was in its offering period and as such, invested cash was
generally higher pending purchases of additional equipment. Interest income
increased in 1997 compared to 1996 because the Partnership was in the offering
period for only part of 1996.

EXPENSES

Management fees paid to the general partner, direct services from general
partner and general and administrative expenses increased in 1998 and 1997
compared to 1996 due to growth in the Partnership's lease portfolio.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES

The remarketing of equipment for an amount greater than its book value 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 (which is typically not known until remarketing subsequent to the
initial lease termination has occurred) 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 the
equipment. The nature of the Partnership's leasing activities is that it has
credit and residual value exposure and, accordingly, in the ordinary course of
business, it will incur losses from those exposures. The Partnership performs
on-going quarterly assessments of its assets to identify any
other-than-temporary losses in value.

The Partnership recorded a provision for loss of $105,000 for 1998. Of that
amount, $75,000 related primarily to lessees returning equipment to the
Partnership and $30,000 was recorded as a reserve for estimated uncollectible
accounts receivable.

There was no provision for losses recorded during 1997 or 1996.

II. Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Partnership was formed on December 18, 1995. On April 16, 1996, the
Partnership commenced offering 500,000 Class A limited partner units at $100 per
unit for sale to investors. As of February 9, 1998, all 500,000 Class A limited
partner units were sold.

A summary of the Partnership's offering activities for 1998 and from the
commencement of operations to December 31, 1998 is presented below:

1998 Cumulative
---- ----------

Class A limited partner units sold 43,367 500,000
=========== ============

Gross offering proceeds $ 4,336,754 $ 49,999,995
Sales commissions (433,676) (5,000,000)
Organization and offering expenses (173,470) (2,000,000)
Due diligence expenses (75,631) (229,152)
----------- ------------
Net offering proceeds $ 3,653,977 $ 42,770,843
=========== ============

Class B limited partner (CAII) cash contribution $ 40,000 $ 500,000
=========== ============

The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
discounted lease rentals (non-recourse debt), interest income, and sales of
off-lease equipment. Available cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are
invested in short-term government securities pending the acquisition of
equipment or distribution to the partners.

During 1998, the Partnership acquired equipment subject to leases with a total
purchase price of $18,542,605 (including $3,223,219 of equipment acquired
subject to existing non-recourse debt). Also during 1998, the Partnership
discounted future rental payments from certain leases to non-recourse lenders
and received proceeds of $3,994,817. Non-recourse borrowing against unleveraged
leases in the Partnership's lease portfolio may occur in the future as well,
when the general partner, in its discretion, determines that such non-recourse
financing is in the best interest of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1998,
the general partner had identified $600,000 of additional equipment that
satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria and is expected to be acquired
during 1999.

During 1998 and 1997, the Partnership declared distributions to the Class A
limited partners of $5,188,246 and $3,246,338, respectively, of which $487,997
was paid during January 1999. A portion of such distributions is expected to
constitute a return of capital. 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 by a partnership which
exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital
for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a partnership's return
on capital over its life can only be determined after all residual cash flows
(which include proceeds from the re-leasing and sales of equipment) have been
realized at the termination of the Partnership.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate sufficient cash

identified and acquired.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

An affiliate provides accounting and other administrative services, including
data processing services to the Partnership. The affiliate has conducted a
comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify systems that could be
affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Year 2000 issue results from computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Certain computer programs which have time-sensitive software
could recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This could result in major system failures or miscalculations. Certain of the
affiliate's software has already been updated to correctly account for the Year
2000 issue. In addition, the affiliate is engaged in a system conversion,
whereby the affiliate's primary lease tracking and accounting software is being
replaced with new systems which will account for the Year 2000 correctly. The
affiliate expects that the new system will be fully operational by December 31,
1999, and therefore will be fully Year 2000 compliant. The affiliate does not
expect any other changes required for the Year 2000 to have a material effect on
its financial position or results of operations. As such, the affiliate has not
developed any specific contingency plans in the event it fails to complete the
conversion to a new system by December 31, 1999. In addition, the affiliate does
not expect any Year 2000 issues relating to its customers and vendors to have a
material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

III. New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
("Statement 130"), which requires comprehensive income to be displayed
prominently within the financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as
all recognized changes in equity during a period from transactions and other
events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. Net income and items that previously have been recorded
directly in equity are included in comprehensive income. Statement 130 affects
only the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income but does not affect
recognition or measurement of income. Statement 130 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The
Partnership adopted Statement 130 in the first quarter of 1998. The adoption did
not have an impact on its financial reporting.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"). Statement 131 provides
guidance for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial

-11-

statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports of public companies. An operating segment
is defined as a component of a business that engages in business activities from
which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, a component whose operating
results are regularly reviewed by the company's chief operating decision maker,
and a component for which discrete financial information is available. Statement
131 establishes quantitative thresholds for determining operating segments of a
company. Statement 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement
131 in the first quarter of 1998. Since the Partnership operates in a single
business segment, the adoption did not have an impact on its financial
reporting.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement 133").
Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. Statement 133 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier application
permitted. The Partnership will adopt Statement 133 in the first quarter of
1999. The General Partner does not expect the adoption to have an impact on its
financial reporting.

IV. "Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
of 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 acquisitions; realization of residual values; customer credit risk;
competition from other lessors, specialty finance lenders or banks; and the
availability and cost of financing sources. Certain specific risks associated
with particular aspects of the Partnership's business are discussed in detail
throughout Parts I and II when and where applicable.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------

The partnership's leases with equipment users are non-cancelable and have lease
rates which 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 partnerships other assets and liabilities are also at fixed
rates. Consequently the partnership has no interest rate risk or other market
risk exposure.

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------

ORGANIZATION

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized on
December 18, 1995 as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of
Delaware pursuant to an Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"). The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing a diversified portfolio of equipment to unaffiliated third parties.
The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2007 unless terminated
earlier in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. All
Partnership equipment is expected to be sold and the Partnership liquidated
between 2003 and 2007. The general partner of the Partnership is CAI
Equipment Leasing V Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Associates,
Inc. ("CAI").

The general partner manages the Partnership, including investment of funds,
purchase and sale of equipment, lease negotiation and other administrative
duties. The Partnership commenced business operations on April 16, 1996, and
from that date through December 31, 1998, 500,000 Class A limited partner
units were sold to approximately 2,345 investors at a price of $100 per
Class A limited partner unit.

Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of CAI, is the Class B limited partner. The Class B limited partner is
required to contribute cash, upon acquisition of equipment, in an amount
equal to 1% of gross offering proceeds received from the sale of Class A
limited partner units.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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 revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. For leasing entities, this includes the estimate of
residual values, as discussed below. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS

Cash Distributions
------------------

During the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement),
available cash is distributed to the partners as follows:

First, 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0% to the Class A limited
partners until the class A limited partners receive annual,
non-compounded cumulative distributions equal to 10.5% of their
contributed capital.

Second, 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0% to the Class B limited
partner until the Class B limited partner receives annual non-compounded
cumulative distributions equal to 10.5% of its contributed capital.

PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS, continued

Cash Distributions, continued
------------------

Third, any remaining available cash will be reinvested or distributed to
the partners as specified in the Partnership Agreement.

After the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement),
available cash will be distributed to the partners as follows:

First, in accordance with the first and second allocations during the
Reinvestment Period as described above.

Second, 99.0% to the Class A limited partners and 1.0% to the general
partner, until the Class A limited partners achieve Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement).

Third, 99.0% to the Class B limited partner, 1.0% to the general
partner, until the Class B limited partner achieves Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement).

Fourth, 99.0% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
and 1.0% to the general partner, until the Class A and Class B limited
partners receive cash distributions equal to 170% of their capital
contributions.

Thereafter, 90% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
and 10% to the general partner.

Federal Income Tax Basis Profits and Losses
-------------------------------------------

There are several special allocations that precede the general allocations
of profits and losses to the partners. The most significant special
allocations are as follows:

First, commissions and expenses paid in connection with the sale of
Class A limited partner units are allocated 1.0% to the general partner
and 99.0% to the Class A limited partners.

Second, depreciation relating to Partnership equipment and any losses
resulting from the sale of equipment are generally allocated 1.0% to the
general partner and 99.0% to the limited partners (shared 99.0%/1.0% by
the Class A and Class B limited partners, respectively) until the
cumulative amount of such depreciation and such losses allocated to each
limited partner equals such limited partner's contributed capital
reduced by commissions and other expenses paid in connection with the
sale of Class A limited partner units allocated to such partner.
Thereafter, gain on sale of equipment, if any, will be allocated to the
general partner in an amount equal to the sum of depreciation and loss
on sale of equipment previously allocated to the general partner.

PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS, continued

Federal Income Tax Basis Profits and Losses, continued
-------------------------------------------

Third, notwithstanding anything in the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, and before any other allocation is made, items of income and
gain for the current year (or period) shall be allocated, as quickly as
possible, to the general partner to the extent of any deficit balance
existing in the general partner's capital account as of the close of the
immediately preceding year, in order to restore the balance in the
general partner's capital account to zero.

After giving effect to special allocations, profits (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) are first allocated in proportion to, and to the
extent of, any previous losses, in reverse chronological order and
priority. Any remaining profits are allocated in the same order and
priority as cash distributions.

After giving effect to special allocations, losses (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) are allocated in proportion to, and to the extent
of, any previous profits, in reverse chronological order and priority.
Any remaining losses are allocated 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0%
to the limited partners (shared 99.0%/1.0% by the Class A and Class B
limited partners, respectively).

Financial Reporting - Profits and Losses
----------------------------------------

For financial reporting purposes, net income is allocated to the partners in
a manner consistent with the allocation of cash distributions.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
("Statement 130"), which requires comprehensive income to be displayed
prominently within the financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined
as all recognized changes in equity during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. Net income and items that previously
have been recorded directly in equity are included in comprehensive income.
Statement 130 affects only the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive
income but does not affect recognition or measurement of income. Statement
130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with
earlier application permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement 130 in the
first quarter of 1998. The adoption did not have an impact on its financial
reporting.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"). Statement 131 provides
guidance for reporting information about operating segments in annual

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, continued

financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports of public companies. An
operating segment is defined as a component of a business that engages in
business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, a
component whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the company's
chief operating decision maker, and a component for which discrete financial
information is available. Statement 131 establishes quantitative thresholds
for determining operating segments of a company. Statement 131 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement 131 in the first quarter of
1998. Since the Partnership operates in a single business segment, the
adoption did not have an impact on its financial reporting.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement
133"). Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
Statement 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999,
with earlier application permitted. The Partnership will adopt Statement 133
in the first quarter of 1999. The General Partner does not expect the
adoption to have an impact on its financial reporting.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Partnership accounts for long-lived assets under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"). SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets, including
equipment subject to operating leases and certain identifiable intangibles
to be held and used by an entity, be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the
entity should estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected
future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets, including equipment
subject to operating leases and identifiable intangibles held by the
Partnership, is based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the
asset may be calculated by discounting the expected future net cash flows at
an appropriate interest rate.

LEASE ACCOUNTING

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
requires that a lessor account for each lease by the direct finance,
sales-type or operating lease method. The Partnership currently utilizes the
direct financing and operating methods for all of the Partnership's


-23-

LEASE ACCOUNTING, continued

equipment under lease. Direct finance leases are defined as those leases
which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of
the equipment to the lessee. For all types of leases, the determination of
profit considers the estimated value of the equipment at lease termination,
referred to as the residual value. After the inception of a lease, the
Partnership may engage in financing of lease receivables on a nonrecourse
basis (i.e., "non-recourse debt" or "discounted lease rentals") and/or
equipment sale transactions to reduce or recover its investment in the equip
ment.

The Partnership's accounting methods and their financial reporting effects
are described below.

NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCE LEASES ("DFLS")

The cost of the equipment, including acquisition fees paid to the general
partner, is recorded as net investment in DFLs on the accompanying balance
sheet. Leasing revenue, which is recognized over the term of the lease,
consists of the excess of lease payments plus the estimated residual value
over the equipment's cost. Earned income is recognized monthly to provide a
constant yield and is recorded as direct finance lease income on the
accompanying income statements. Residual values are established at lease
inception equal to the estimated value to be received from the equipment
following termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances
includes anticipated re-lease proceeds), as determined by the general
partner. In estimating such values, the general partner considers all
relevant information regarding the equipment and the lessee.

EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES ("OLS")

The cost of equipment, including acquisition fees paid to the general
partner, is recorded as leased equipment in the accompanying balance sheets
and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to an amount
equal to the estimated residual value at the lease termination date. Leasing
revenue consists principally of monthly rents and is recognized as operating
lease rentals in the accompanying income statements. Residual values are
established at lease inception equal to the estimated value to be received
from the equipment following termination of the initial lease (which in
certain circumstances includes anticipated re-lease proceeds), as determined
by the general partner. In estimating such values, the general partner
considers all relevant information and circumstances regarding the equipment
and the lessee. Because revenue, depreciation expense and the resultant
profit margin before interest expense are recorded on a straight-line basis,
and interest expense on discounted lease rentals (discussed below) is
recorded on the interest method, lower returns are realized in the early
years of the term of an OL and higher returns in later years.

NON-RECOURSE DISCOUNTING OF RENTALS

The Partnership may assign the future rentals from leases to financial
institutions, or acquire leases subject to such assignments, at fixed
interest rates on a non-recourse basis. In return for such assigned future
rentals, the Partnership receives the discounted value of the rentals in

NON-RECOURSE DISCOUNTING OF RENTALS, continued

cash. In the event of default by a lessee, the financial institution has a
first lien on the underlying leased equipment, with no further recourse
against the Partnership. Cash proceeds from such financings, or the
assumption of such financings, are recorded on the balance sheet as
discounted lease rentals. As lessees make payments to financial
institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES

An allowance for losses is maintained at levels determined by the general
partner to adequately provide for any other-than-temporary declines in asset
values. The Partnership considers, economic conditions, the activity in the
used equipment markets, the effect of actions by equipment manufacturers,
the financial condition of lessees, the expected courses of action by
lessees with regard to leased equipment at termination of the initial lease
term, and other factors which the general partner believes are relevant in
determining losses. Asset chargeoffs are recorded upon the termination or
remarketing of the underlying assets. The lease portfolio is reviewed
quarterly to determine the adequacy of the allowance for losses.

TRANSACTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO INITIAL LEASE TERMINATION

After the initial term of equipment under lease expires, the equipment is
either sold or re-leased to the existing lessee or another third party. The
remaining net book value of equipment sold is removed and gain or loss
recorded when equipment is sold. The accounting for re-leased equipment is
consistent with the accounting described under "Net Investment in Direct
Financing Leases" and "Equipment on Operating Leases" above.

INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements
since taxable income or loss is recorded in the tax return of the individual
partners.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Partnership considers short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents of approximately $2,634,000 and $4,676,000 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively, are comprised of investments in a mutual fund which
invests solely in U.S. Government treasury bills having maturities of 90
days or less.

NET INCOME PER CLASS A LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

Net income per Class A limited partner unit is computed by dividing the net
income allocated to the Class A limited partners by the weighted average
number of Class A limited partner units outstanding during the period.

8. Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------

Approximately 77% of the Partnership's equipment under lease was leased to
investment grade companies. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, an
investment grade lessee is a company (i) with a net worth in excess of
$100,000,000 (and no debt issues that are rated), or (ii) with a credit
rating of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
or comparable credit rating as determined by another recognized credit
rating service; or (iii) a lessee, all of whose lease payments have been
unconditionally guaranteed or supported by a letter of credit issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements.

No single lessee accounted for more than 10% of total revenue of the
Partnership during 1998.

One lessee accounted for approximately 12% ($1,387,000) of total revenue of
the Partnership during 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

8. Concentration of Credit Risk, continued
----------------------------

The Partnership's cash balance is maintained with a high credit quality
financial institution. At times, such balances may be in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit due to the receipt of lockbox amounts that have not cleared
the presentment bank (generally for less than two days). As the funds become
available, they are invested in a money market mutual fund.

9. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Financial Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments specifically excludes certain items from its
disclosure requirements such as the Partnership's investment in leased
assets. The carrying amounts at December 31, 1998 for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
payable to affiliates, rents and sale proceeds received in advance and
distributions payable to partners approximate their fair values due to the
short maturity of these instruments.

As of December 31, 1998, discounted lease rentals of approximately
$15,709,000 had fair values of $14,844,000. The fair values were estimated
utilizing market rates of comparable debt having similar maturities and
credit quality as of December 31, 1998.
