Funding Partners IV Liquidating Trust;
2. Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any

necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
the period covered by this annual report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this annual report, fairly present
in all material respects the financial condition of the net assets and
statement of changes in net assets of the registrant as of, and for,
the periods presented in this annual report;
4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) for the registrant and have:
a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information relating to the registrant is made known to me by
others within the entity, particularly during the period in which this
annual report is being prepared;
b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
c) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
the case of an annual report) that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting;
5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):
a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant; and b) any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting; and
