VENTURE LENDING & LEASING IV, INC.



NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005



1.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE FUND

Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc., (the Fund), was incorporated in Maryland on October 31, 2003 as a nondiversified closed-end management investment company electing status as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is managed by Westech Investment Advisors, Inc. (Manager or Management).  One hundred percent of the stock of the Fund is held by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the Company).  Prior to commencing its operations on May 28, 2004, the Fund had no operations other than the sale to the Company of 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value for $25,000 in November 2003.  This issuance of stock was a requirement in order to apply for a finance lender's license from the California Commissioner of Corporations.



In the Manager's opinion, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted; however, the Fund believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of what the results would be for a full year.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



2. SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS



Loans generally are made to borrowers pursuant to commitments whereby the Fund agrees to finance assets and provide working capital up to a specified amount for the term of the commitments, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified by such commitment. As of September 30, 2005, the Fund's investments in loans are to companies based within the United States and are diversified among borrowers in the industries shown below.  The percentage of net assets that each industry group represents is shown with the industry totals below.  (The sum of the percentages does not equal 100 percent because the percentages are based on net assets as opposed to total loans).



Loan balances are summarized by borrower.   Typically a borrower's balance will be composed of several loans drawn under a commitment made by the Fund.  As each loan drawn under a commitment has a different maturity date and amount, the interest rate for the borrower changes each month.  For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 15.2% and 14.1%, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and the period from commencement of operations through September 30, 2004, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 12.3 % and 12.5%, respectively.   Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including volatility, early payoffs, and recovery of interest from non-performing assets.



Valuation Procedures



1) The Fund is a fair value reporter and therefore accounts for investment securities at fair value in accordance with the Valuation Methods below.  All valuations are determined under the direction of the Manager, in accordance with this Policy.







2) The Funds assets are valued in connection with the issuance of its periodic financial statements, the issuance or repurchase of a Funds shares at a price equivalent to the current net asset value per share, and at such other times as required by law.  On a quarterly basis, Management will submit to the Board of Directors (Board) a Valuation Report, which details the rationale for the valuation of investments.





Valuation Methods



1) Venture loans are generally held to maturity as there is no secondary market for the loans.  In the absence of a secondary market, venture loans are valued at their original purchase price less amortization of principal, unless Management determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.  Management determines whether to adjust the value of a loan based on a credit analysis of the borrower, which generally includes consideration of several factors, including but not limited to the borrowers payment history, available cash and burn rate, revenues, net income or loss, the likelihood that the borrower will be able to secure additional financing in the future, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment.    The amount of any valuation adjustment is determined based upon an analysis of the expected recovery from the borrower, including consideration of factors such as the nature and quality of the Funds security interests in collateral, the estimated value of the Funds collateral, the size of the loan, and the estimated time that will elapse before the Fund achieves a recovery.



2) Warrants and equity securities are generally assigned an estimated fair value as determined by Management at the time of acquisition.  Thereafter all warrants and equity securities are immediately distributed to the shareholder.



3)  Money market funds and debt instruments held as Cash and Cash Equivalents are valued at their most recently posted net asset value, if available, or at amortized cost, provided such amount is not materially different from quoted price.



4) Debt securities held as Short-term Investments are valued based on current bid quotations of recognized dealers or, when market quotations are not readily available, based on appraisals received from a pricing service using a computerized matrix system, or based upon appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in the securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, debt securities with remaining maturities of ninety (90) days or fewer generally are valued by amortizing the difference between their last available fair value and their par value, provided such amount is not materially different from quoted price.





Loans as of September 30, 2005 are in non-affiliates and consist of the following:

As of December 31, 2004, no loans were classified as non-accrual.

The Fund provides asset-based financing primarily to start-up and emerging growth venture-capital-backed companies.  These loans are generally secured by assets of the borrowers.  As a result, the Fund is subject to general credit risk associated with such companies. At September 30, 2005, the Fund had unexpired unfunded commitments to borrowers of $177.3 million.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of potential common shares (e.g., stock options).  The Fund has no instruments that would be potential common shares; thus, reported basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same.

4.  CAPITAL STOCK

As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, and 100,000 shares issued and outstanding.  Total committed capital of the Company is $250.0 million.  Total contributed capital to the Company through September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $112.5 million and $87.5 million, respectively, of which $108.5 million and $82.5 million, respectively, was contributed to the Fund.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, distributions of $4,286,201 and $503,176, respectively were made to the Funds shareholder.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Fund made deemed distributions to its shareholder in the amount of $11,313 and $33,951, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Fund made distributions of securities to its shareholder in the amount of $22,634 and $141,176, respectively.

5.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R).  The effective date of FIN 46R for non-registered investment companies (such as the Fund) has been deferred pending a decision by the FASB concerning whether to exempt such entities from applying the provisions of FIN 46R.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of financial highlights of the Fund for the periods presented, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.  The total rate of return is defined as the return based on the change in value during the period of a theoretical investment made at the beginning of the period. The total rate of return assumes a constant rate of return for the Fund during the period reported and weights each cash flow by the amount of time held in the Fund. This required methodology differs from an internal rate of return. The Fund did not commence operations until May 28, 2004.

The ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, calculated below, are annualized and are computed based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.  Net investment income is inclusive of all investment income net of expenses, and excludes realized or unrealized gains and losses.

Beginning and ending net asset values per share are based on the beginning and ending number of shares outstanding. Other per share information is calculated based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.

The following per share data and ratios have been derived from the information provided in the financial statements:

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations





General



Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc, (the Fund) is 100% owned by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the Company).  The Fund's shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value were sold to its shareholder under a stock purchase agreement.  The Fund has issued 100,000 of the Funds 10,000,000 authorized shares. The Fund's shareholder may make additional capital contributions to the Fund.



In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. The reader of this Quarterly Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome.  The Fund's actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments and competition. This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Fund's business.





Overview



The Fund is a financial services company primarily providing financing and advisory services to a variety of carefully selected venture-backed companies throughout the United States with a focus on growth oriented companies.   The Funds portfolio is well diversified and consists of companies in the communications, information services, media, and technology, including software and technology-enabled business services, bio-technology, and medical devices industry sectors, among others. The Funds capital is generally used by our portfolio companies to finance acquisitions of fixed assets and working capital. On May 28, 2004, the Fund completed its first closing of capital, made its first investments, and became a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2004. Pursuant to this election, the Fund generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income it distributes to the stockholder as dividends, allowing the Funds shareholder to substantially reduce or eliminate its corporate-level tax liability.



The Fund will seek to meet the ongoing requirements, including the diversification requirements, to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) under the Internal Revenue Code.  If the Fund fails to meet these requirements, it will be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year (even if that income is distributed to the Company) and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable to the Members of the Company as ordinary income; thus, such income will be subject to a double layer of tax. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet the ongoing requirements to qualify as a RIC for tax purposes.



The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total return. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing debt financing to portfolio companies.   Since inception, the Fund's investing activities have focused primarily on private debt securities.  The Fund generally receives warrants to acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments.  The Fund generally distributes these warrants to its shareholder upon receipt.  The Fund also has guidelines for the percentages of total assets which will be invested in different types of assets.



The portfolio investments of the Fund consist of debt financing to early and late stage venture capital backed technology companies.  The borrowers ability to repay its loans may be adversely impacted by a number of factors,





and as a result the loan may not fully be repaid.  Furthermore, the Funds security interest in any collateral over the borrowers assets may be insufficient to make up any shortfall in payments.



Critical Accounting Policies



We identified the most critical accounting principles upon which our financial statements depend.  We determined the critical accounting principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments.  We identified our only critical accounting policy to be that related to the valuation of loans.



Loans are held at estimated fair value as determined by management, in accordance with the valuation methods described in the valuation of loans section of Note 2 of the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). Critical factors in determining the fair value of a loan include payment history, collateral position, financial strength of the borrower, prospects for the borrower's raising future equity rounds, likelihood of sale or acquisition of the borrower, and length of expected holding period of the loan, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment.. The actual value of the loans may differ from management's estimates, which would affect net income as well as net assets.



Results of Operations For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004



Total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $6.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of which $6.6 million and $0.5 million consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period.  Total investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $15.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of which $14.5 million and $0.6 million consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period.  The remaining income related to interest income from short-term investment of cash as well as other income from commitment fees received for loans that will never fund.   Investment income continues to increase as additional loans are funded, which increases the outstanding balance of loans.  Loans rose from $85.4 million as of December 31, 2004 to $203.6 million as of September 30, 2005.



Total expenses were $2.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended and $7.9 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Management fees, the largest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.  Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $4.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.  Management fees will continue to be based on committed capital of the Company until the second anniversary in May, 2006, at which time they will be based on assets under management.



Total interest expense was $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.  No interest expense was incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 because the debt facility had yet to be put in place.



Total organizational costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $0.1 million.  None were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 or for the three months ended September 30, 2004.



Total banking and legal fees was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Total banking and legal fees was $1.0 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Banking and legal fees increased for the periods presented due to the closing of the conduit facility in late 2004.  No banking or legal fees associated with the banking had been incurred prior to September 30, 2004.







Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.  Total other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Director fees and audit and accounting related fees comprised a majority of the other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Net investment income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.9 million and ($1.2) million, respectively.  Net investment income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $7.1 million and ($1.9) million, respectively.



Total unrealized gain for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.4 million and $0, respectively.  Total unrealized gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.4 million and $0, respectively.  The unrealized gain was the result of the Funds hedging transactions.



Net increase (decrease)  in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $4.3 million and ($1.2) million, respectively.  Net increase (decrease)  in net assets resulting from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $7.5 million and ($1.9) million, respectively.  On a per share basis, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $43.29 and ($11.56) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  On a per share basis, net increase (decrease)  in net assets resulting from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $75.02 and $(18.55), respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Resources  September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004



Total capital contributed to the Fund was $108.5 million and $82.5 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.  Committed capital to the Company at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $250.0 million, of which $112.5 million has been called and received.  The remaining $137.5 million in committed capital is due to expire in May 2009 as the five year anniversary will have passed, at which time no further capital can be called.



On October 14, 2004, the Fund entered into agreements with Société Générale and Rabobank International that established a debt facility to provide the Fund up to $125.0 million of financing.  Borrowings by the Fund are collateralized by receivables from loans advanced by the Fund in its ordinary course of business.  The Fund pays interest on its borrowings based on the secured facilitys cost of issuing commercial paper obligations.  The Fund typically will enter into hedge transactions to limit its interest rate risk, and thus the net interest expense will be based in a large part on the fixed rate negotiated on these transactions.  The facility terminates in May 2009, but can be accelerated under an event of default such as failure by the Fund to make timely interest or principal payments.  The first draw against this direct financial obligation of the Fund took place in October, 2004.  As of December 31, 2004, fees of $1,074,250 were incurred in order to procure the facility.  Additionally $17,000 was incurred in March, 2005 in conjunction with the facility.  Legal costs of $287,050 were incurred in negotiation of the facility. Both the bank fees and legal costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the expected life of the facility.



At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 the Fund had interest rate swap transactions outstanding with a total notional principal amount of $66.2 million and $29.6 million.  Additionally, prior to quarter end, the Fund increased the future notional values of the swap effective October 10, 2005 to $100.7 million.  The effect of these swap transactions is to convert the floating rate bank debt into a fixed rate on the contract notional value.  The amortization schedule for each borrowing under the facility is expected to correspond to the amortization of the loans supporting each borrowing.









As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 2% and 22%, respectively, of the Fund's assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.  The Fund continued to invest its assets in venture loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Amounts disbursed under the Fund's loan commitments totaled approximately $151.4 million during the period from December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2005. Net loan amounts outstanding after amortization increased by approximately $118.2 million for the same period. Unexpired, unfunded commitments totaled approximately $177.3 million as of September 30, 2005.





|As of              | Amount Disbursed | Principal Reductions | Balance Outstanding | Unexpired Unfunded Commitments
|------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------
|September 30, 2005 | $242.9 million   | $39.3 million        | $203.6 million      | $177.3 million                
|December 31, 2004  | $91.5 million    | $6.2 million         | $85.4 million       | $102.6 million                





Venture loans are privately negotiated transactions.  Investments in these assets are relatively illiquid.





Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



The Fund's business activities contain elements of risk. The Fund considers the principal types of market risk to be interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund considers the management of risk essential to conducting its business and to maintaining profitability. Accordingly, the Fund's risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Fund's risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.



The Fund anticipates managing its credit risk by maintaining a portfolio that is diverse by industry, size of investment, stage of development, and borrower.  The Fund has limited exposure to public market price fluctuations as the Fund primarily invests in private business enterprises and the Fund generally distributes all equity securities upon receipt to the Company.



The Fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge its interest rate on its bank loans. The net interest received or paid on the transactions is included in interest expense. The fair value of the swap is recorded in other assets or other liabilities and the change in the fair value is recorded as a change in unrealized gain (loss) from investment transactions.





The Fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Fund utilizes various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income net of interest expense, the value of net assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the Fund is insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates.



Based on the model used for the sensitivity of interest income net of interest expense, if the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have affected net income by less than $0.1 million.  This translates to less than 1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes, it makes estimates to adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect net income.  Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.





ITEM 4.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them of any material information relating to the Fund that is required to be disclosed by the Fund in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.



Changes in Internal Controls:



There were no significant changes in the Fund's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.



PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.   Legal Proceedings



The Fund may become party to certain lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business.  While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Fund does not expect these proceedings will have a material effect upon the Fund's financial condition or results of operation.



Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds



Prior to the Funds commencement of operations on May 28, 2004, the Fund sold 100,000 shares to the Funds sole shareholder, Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC for $25,000 in November 2003.  No other shares of the Fund have been sold; however the Fund received an additional $108.5 million of paid in capital during the period from May 28, 2004 through September 30, 2005 which is expected to be used to acquire venture loans and fund operations.
