1. Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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, 1998 was
   derived from the audited financial statements included in the Partnership's
   1998 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, 1998 (the "1998 Form 10-K"), previously filed with the
   Securities and Exchange Commission.

   Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

   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 has adopted Statement 133 in the first
   quarter of 1999. The adoption has not had any impact on its financial
   reporting.

   In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
   Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
   the Effective Date of FASB Statement 133, an Amendment of FASB Statement 133.
   Statement 137 effectively extends the required application of Statement 133
   to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier application
   permitted. The Partnership adopted Statement 133 in the first quarter of
   1999.

2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliates

2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliates, continued
   ----------------------------------------------------

   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 the terms of the
   Partnership Agreement.  As of September 30, 1999, direct services from the
   General Partner in the amount of $49,762 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 Partnership per the terms of
   the Partnership Agreement. As of September 30, 1999, there are no
   administrative expenses included in payable to affiliates.

   Receivable From Related Party

   The General Partner collects and applies rental payments to the lessee's
   account with the Partnership for those lessees who remit directly to the
   General Partner. The rental payments are then transferred to the Partnership,
   eliminating the receivable from related party balance. At the end of
   September 1999, $689,537 in rents were applied by the General Partner that
   were transferred to the Partnership subsequent to the end of the quarter and
   prior to the filing of the September 30, 1999 Quarterly Report.

Operating lease rentals and depreciation have increased slightly for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the corresponding period of
1998 due to growth in the portfolio.  Direct finance lease income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the corresponding period of 1998 has
decreased because the runoff of direct finances leases was greater than
additions to the DFL portfolio.  Interest on discounted lease rentals decreased
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to a net reduction in non-recourse
debt.

Leasing Margin, continued

Leasing margin ratio fluctuates based upon (i) the mix of direct finance leases
and operating leases, (ii) remarketing activities, (iii) the method used to
finance leases added to the Partnership's lease portfolio, and (iv) the relative
age of lease types in the portfolio.  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 principal is
repaid.

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:

</TABLE>

Equipment sales margin is affected by the volume and composition of equipment
that becomes available for sale.  Some of the Partnership's initial leases have
expired, and the equipment is either being re-leased or sold to the lessee or to
third parties.  Equipment sales margin increased for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 because of the
composition of equipment that was sold and because the volume of leases reaching
maturity is increasing.  Equipment sales margin decreased for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 primarily due to
the composition of equipment that was sold during the second quarter of 1998.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to a decrease
in invested cash.  Interest income varies due to (1) the amount of cash
available for investment (pending distribution to partners or investment in
equipment purchases) and (2) the interest rate on such invested cash.

Expenses

Management fees are earned on gross rents received and will fluctuate due to
variances in cash flow.  Management fees paid to general partner for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 were essentially equal to management fees for
the nine months ended September 30,1998. The slight decrease in management fees
paid to the general partner for the three months ended September 30, 1999
compared to the corresponding period of 1998 was primarily due to a decrease in
rental payments received on operating leases for the quarter.  Direct services
from general partner increased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to an
increase in remarketing activities associated with equipment returned to the
Partnership at lease maturity. The primary components of general and
administrative expenses are data processing, advertising, audit and tax fees,
insurance, and state income taxes.  All components of general and administrative
expenses except data processing increased for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998 primarily due
to growth in the portfolio, including a significant increase in advertising
costs related to the remarketing of equipment returned to the partnership at
lease maturity during the first six months of fiscal 1999.

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 occurs when the equipment is remarketed subsequent to
initial lease termination) 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 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 other-than-temporary losses in value.  The Partnership recorded a provision
for loss of $150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 related
primarily to the write-off of assets that were leased to a troubled lessee for
which no recovery is possible.


Liquidity & Capital Resources
-----------------------------

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 partners.

Liquidity & Capital Resources, continued
-----------------------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership acquired
equipment subject to leases with a total purchase price of $8,876,585.  As of
September 30, 1999, the general partner had identified approximately $2.6
million of additional equipment that satisfied the Partnership's acquisition
criteria and is expected to be acquired during the remainder of 1999.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership declared
distributions to the partners of $3,989,148 ($496,277 of which was paid in
October 1999).  A substantial 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 which 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 1999, to (1) meet current
operating requirements, (2) fund cash distributions to both the Class A and
Class B limited partners at annualized rates of 10.5% (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.

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 internal information technology ("IT") 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.  The affiliate is in the process of upgrading or replacing all
components of its IT systems which were identified as being affected by the Year
2000 issue.  At the present time, the affiliate has completed upgrades and
testing of the upgrades for all components of its IT systems except its primary
application software which controls the partnership's financial records, asset
management detail, and billing records.  The affiliate has fully identified all
aspects of the application software which have Year 2000 issues and has
commenced the process of upgrading the software.  The affiliate expects that the
new upgrades 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 upgrades by December 31,
1999.  However, should the affiliate be unsuccessful in completing the necessary
upgrades by December 31, 1999, the affiliate does not expect there will be a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.  There could be a negative impact on the Partnership's ability to
realize expected cash flows from leased equipment on a timely basis due to
billing or collection problems which could arise related to Year 2000 issues.

Year 2000 Issues, continued

Partnership's ability to ultimately realize all expected cash flows will not be
impacted, delays in collecting cash flows would have a negative impact on the
timing of distributions to partners.  Because the cost of addressing Year 2000
issues are borne by the affiliate, it is expected that the costs associated with
Year 2000 readiness will not be material to the partnership.  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, or on its
ability to provide services to the Partnership.

New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------

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 has adopted Statement 133 in the first
quarter of 1999.  The adoption has not had any impact on its financial
reporting.

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement 133, an Amendment of FASB Statement 133.
Statement 137 effectively extends the required application of Statement 133 to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier application permitted.
The Partnership adopted Statement 133 in the first quarter of 1999.

-------

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 1998 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 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.
