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, 1999 was derived from the audited financial statements
     included in the Partnership's 1999 Form 10-KA. 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-KA for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999
     Form 10-KA"), 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. 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
     General Partner does not expect the adoption of Statement 133 or Statement
     137 to have an impact on its financial reporting.

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. As of March 31, 2000, management fees of $87,251 are
     included in payables to 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 March 31, 2000, direct services from the
     General Partner in the amount of $52,579 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 March 31, 2000, administrative expenses of
     $16 are 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.

     Equipment Purchases

     During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership acquired the
     equipment described below from Capital Associates International, Inc.:

     As of March 31, 2000, the general partner had identified approximately
     $608,000 of equipment that satisfied the Partnership's investment criteria
     and is expected to be acquired during the remainder of 2000.

3.   General Partner Matters
     -----------------------

     According to the records of CAII, an affiliate of the general partner, as
     of March 31, 2000, CAII owes the Partnership approximately $700,000, for
     rents, remarketing proceeds and other amounts (collectively, the "Prior
     Rents") collected by CAII on behalf of the Partnership during periods prior
     to February 1, 2000 (the "Prior Periods"). According to its own records,
     CAII owes approximately $3.9 million to other investors and creditors as of
     March 31, 2000 (who, along with the Partnership, are referred to herein as
     the "Payees"), for Prior Rents collected by CAII on their behalf during the
     Prior Periods. CAII, which presently does not have the funds to repay all
     of the Prior Rents, is in negotiations with the Payees to develop a plan
     for repayment of the Prior Rents owed to all Payees over time. The
     Partnership is withholding acquisition fees and managements fees otherwise
     payable to the general partner and crediting such withheld fees (the
     "Fees") against the Prior Rents owing from CAII. The Partnership intends to
     continue to withhold future Fees until such time as it recovers all Prior
     Rents.

     The amount stated on the Balance Sheet as Receivable from affiliates is net
     of a $300,000 allowance recorded at December 31, 1999.

     The Partnership relies upon the services of CAII for origination of leases,
     administrative and accounting services and remarketing of leases and
     equipment, among other services. Should CAII be unable to develop a plan
     for repayment with it's Payees, the Partnership may be required to contract
     with another party for these services. In such event, there is no assurance
     that another provider of these services can be identified.

Operating lease rentals and depreciation decreased for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 due to a
decrease in the operating lease portfolio.  Interest on discounted lease rentals
remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1999 even though the balance of discounted
lease rentals increased over the same period.  This was primarily due to the
debt being added toward the end of the period so that the interest start date
will occur in the following quarter.

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
March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 although equipment sales
revenue for the same period decreased primarily due to the variance in equipment
available for sale.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
the three months ended March 31, 1999 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 three
months ended March 31, 2000 were lower than the three months ended March 31,
1999 primarily due to an decrease in rents collected.

Direct services from general partner increased for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to a
change in the method in which the general partner charges for its asset
management services.  The Partnership pays a refurbishing charge to the general
partner at the time computer equipment is returned by the lessee to the
Partnership.  The refurbishing charge includes all services necessary to prepare
the equipment for re-sale.  Computer equipment returned to the Partnership for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 generated refurbishing charges in the
amount of $42,020.

General and administrative charges increased for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to a
one time remarketing fee on the renewal of a lease for approximately $25,000.

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
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 $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 related primarily to
equipment returned to the Partnership and the associated decrease in the
estimated value to be received from the equipment.

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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership acquired equipment
subject to leases with a total purchase price of  $4,197,229.  As of March 31,
2000, the general partner had identified approximately $608,000 of additional
equipment that satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria and is expected
to be acquired during the remainder of 2000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership declared
distributions to the partners of $1,320,393 ($511,146 of which was paid in April
2000). 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 2000, 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.

According to the records of CAII, an affiliate of the general partner, as of
March 31, 2000, CAII owes the Partnership approximately $700,000, for rents,
remarketing proceeds and other amounts (collectively, the "Prior Rents")
collected by CAII on behalf of the Partnership during periods prior to February
1, 2000 (the "Prior Periods"). According to its own records, CAII owes
approximately $3.9 million to other investors and creditors as of March 31, 2000
(who, along with the Partnership, are referred to herein as the "Payees"), for
Prior Rents collected by CAII on their behalf during the Prior Periods. CAII,
which presently does not have the funds to repay all of the Prior Rents, is in
negotiations with the Payees to develop a plan for repayment of the Prior Rents
owed to all Payees over time. The Partnership is withholding acquisition fees
and managements fees otherwise payable to the general partner and crediting such
withheld fees (the "Fees") against the Prior Rents owing from CAII. The
Partnership intends to continue to withhold future Fees until such time as it
recovers all Prior Rents.

The amount stated on the Balance Sheet as Receivable from affiliates is net of a
$300,000 allowance recorded at December 31, 1999.

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

The Partnership relies upon the services of CAII for origination of leases,
administrative and accounting services and remarketing of leases and equipment,
among other services. Should CAII be unable to develop a plan for repayment with
it's Payees, the Partnership may be required to contract with another party for
these services. In such event, there is no assurance that another provider of
these services can be identified.

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.   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 General Partner does not expect the adoption of
Statement 133 or Statement 137 to have an impact on its financial reporting.

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 significant interest rate risk or
other market risk exposure.
