RIDGEWOOD
ELECTRIC POWER TRUST IV


NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(unaudited,
dollar amounts in thousands)






1.   BASIS
OF PRESENTATION





The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Ridgewood Electric
Power Trust IV (the “Trust”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on December 14, 2007 (the “2006 Form
10-K”). No significant changes have been made to the Trust’s accounting policies
and estimates disclosed in its 2006 Form 10-K.





In the
opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements as of
March 31, 2007, and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year or any other period.





2.   DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS





The Trust
is a Delaware trust formed in September 1994. The Trust began offering shares on
February 6, 1995 and concluded its offering on September 30, 1996. The objective
of the Trust is to provide benefits to its shareholders through a combination of
distributions of operating cash flow and capital appreciation. The Managing
Shareholder of the Trust is Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC (“RRP” or the
“Managing Shareholder”).





The Trust
has been organized to invest primarily in independent power generation
facilities and other infrastructure projects in the US. The projects owned by
the Trust have characteristics that qualify the projects for government
incentives. Among the incentives are ancillary revenue opportunities related to
the fuel used by the power plants.





The
Trust’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of Ridgewood Providence Power Partners, L.P. (“Ridgewood
Providence”). The Trust’s condensed consolidated financial statements also
include the Trust’s 50% interest in Ridgewood Maine Hydro Partners, L.P. (“Maine
Hydro”) and its 25% interest in Ridgewood Indeck Maine Energy, LLC (“Indeck
Maine”), which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the
Trust has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control the
operating and financial policies of these entities.





The Trust
owns 64.3% interest in Ridgewood Providence and the remaining 35.7% minority
interest is owned by Ridgewood Electric Power Trust III (“Trust III”). The
interest of Trust III is presented as minority interest in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.





In
January 2008, the Managing Shareholder announced that it intends to market Maine
Hydro and Indeck Maine for sale.





3.  
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS




FIN
48





In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes(“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS
109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. The Trust adopted FIN 48 effective January
1, 2007 with no impact on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.

SFAS
157




In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157"), to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expand
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires quantitative
disclosures using a tabular format in all periods (interim and annual) and
qualitative disclosures about the valuation techniques used to measure fair
value in all annual periods. SFAS 157 will become effective for the Trust
beginning January 1, 2008. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS 157 on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.





SFAS
159





In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159; The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which expands
opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Trust beginning January 1,
2008. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its
condensed consolidated financial statements.





SFAS
160





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51
(“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in
subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of
consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the
consolidated financial statements within
equity, but separate from the parent’s equity.It also requires once a
subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in
the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient
disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160
will become effective for the Trust beginning January 1, 2009. The Trust is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.

The
Trust assigned the excess purchase price over the net assets acquired to fixed
assets. The Trust depreciates the fixed assets over their remaining useful lives
using the unit of production method.  Depreciation expense of $78 and
$76 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is
included in the equity income from Indeck Maine in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.





5.    COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES





Ridgewood
Providence and several of its affiliates have an agreement with a power marketer
for which they are committed to sell a portion of their renewable portfolio
standard attributes ("RPS Attributes") derived from their electric generation.
The agreement provides such power marketer with six separate annual options to
purchase such RPS Attributes from 2004 through 2009 at fixed prices, as defined.
If Ridgewood Providence and its affiliates fail to supply the required number of
RPS Attributes, penalties may be imposed. In accordance with the terms of the
agreement, if the power marketer elects to exercise an annual option and
Ridgewood Providence and its affiliates produce no renewable attributes for such
option year, Ridgewood Providence and its affiliates face a maximum penalty,
which is adjusted annually for the change in the consumer price index, among
other things, of approximately $3,800, measured using current factors, for that
option year and any other year in which an option has been exercised and no
renewable attributes have been produced. Pursuant to the agreement, Ridgewood
Providence and Indeck Maine are liable for 8% and 70% of the total penalty,
respectively, but each may be liable up to 100% in the event of the default of
its affiliates. In the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006, the power marketer
notified Ridgewood Providence and its affiliates that it has elected to purchase
the output for 2008 and 2007, respectively, as specified in the
agreement.  As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, Ridgewood Providence
satisfied and delivered RPS Attributes as prescribed in the agreements and
therefore no penalties were incurred.





On August
16, 2006, the Managing Shareholder and affiliates of the Trust filed lawsuits
against the former independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust,
Perelson Weiner, LLP (“Perelson Weiner”), in New Jersey Superior Court. 
The suits alleged professional malpractice and breach of contract in connection
with audit and accounting services performed by Perelson Weiner. On October 20,
2006, Perelson Weiner filed a counterclaim against the Trust and its affiliates
alleging breach of contract due to unpaid invoices. Discovery is ongoing and no
trial date has been set. The costs and expenses of the litigation are being paid
for by the Managing Shareholder and affiliated management companies and not the
underlying investment funds, including the Trust.





The Trust
is subject to legal proceedings involving ordinary and routine claims related to
its business. The ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to
such matters cannot be estimated with certainty and requires the use of
estimates in recording liabilities for potential litigation settlements.
Estimates for losses from litigation are disclosed if considered reasonably
possible and accrued if considered probable after consultation with outside
counsel. If estimates of potential losses increase or the related facts and
circumstances change in the future, the Trust may be required to record
additional litigation expense.  While it is not possible to predict
the outcome of the litigation discussed above with certainty and some lawsuits,
claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Trust, based on its
evaluation of matters which are pending or asserted, the Trust’s management
believes the disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the Trust’s business or financial statements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




The
purpose of this discussion and analysis of the operating results and financial
condition as of  March 31, 2007 is intended to help readers analyze
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, notes and other
supplemental information contained in this document.  Results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be attained for any other period. This discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements, notes and other supplemental information
included elsewhere in this report and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Trust’s 2006
Form 10-K.





Forward-Looking
Statements




Certain
statements discussed in this item and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
generally relate to the Trust’s plans, objectives and expectations for future
events and include statements about the Trust’s expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical
facts.   These statements are based upon management’s opinions
and estimates as of the date they are made.  Although management
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that may be beyond the Trust’s control, which could
cause actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from the
results, performance and achievements projected, expected, expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements. Examples of events that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated
include changes in political and economic conditions, federal or state
regulatory structures, government mandates, the ability of customers to pay for
energy received, supplies and prices of fuels, operational status of generating
plants, mechanical breakdowns, volatility in the price for electric energy,
natural gas or renewable energy. Additional information concerning the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements is contained in, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”
and  Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” of the Trust’s 2006 Form 10-K. The Trust
undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements or
cautionary factors, except as required by law.





Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates





The
following discussion and analysis of the Trust’s financial condition and
operating results is based on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.  The preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the Trust’s condensed consolidated financial
statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and
assumptions.  No material changes have been made to the Trust’s
critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in its 2006 Form
10-K.




Results
of Operations and Changes in Financial Condition





Three
months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2006





Revenues
increased by $0.3 million, or 9.6%, from $3 million in the first quarter of 2006
to $3.3 million for the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to
higher renewable attribute revenue resulting from higher prices in the
Connecticut market in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter
of 2006.





Cost of
revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 10.9%, from $2.2 million in the first
quarter of 2006 to $2.4 million for the same period in 2007. This increase in
the first quarter of 2007 was primarily attributable to higher royalty expense
driven by increased renewable attribute revenues.





Gross
profit increased by $0.1 million, or 6.5%, from $0.8 million in the first
quarter of 2006 to $0.9 million for the same period in 2007 primarily due to
increased revenues partially offset by increased cost of revenues.





For the
first quarter of 2007, the Trust recorded equity income of $0.2 million from its
investment in Maine Hydro compared to equity income of $0.4 million for the same
period in 2006. The decrease of approximately $0.2 million in equity income was
primarily related to decreased energy revenues resulting from lower
production in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of
2006.





Total
assets at March 31, 2007 were $23.2 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the
December 31, 2006 balance of $23.7 million. This decrease was primarily due
to decreases of $0.6 million in cash, $0.2 million in plant and equipment and
$0.1 million in intangibles, partially offset by increases of $0.3 million
in accounts receivable and $0.1 million in notes receivable.  Total
liabilities decreased by approximately $0.3 million from $5.7 million at
December 31, 2006 to $5.4 million at March 31, 2007. The decrease was
primarily the result of a decrease of $0.3 million in accounts
payable.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources





Three
months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2006





At March
31, 2007, the Trust had cash of $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million
from $0.8 million at December 31, 2006. The cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 were $0.8 million provided by operating activities and $1.4
million used in financing activities.




Cash
provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
$0.2 million. The first quarter of 2006 cash flows represents proceeds of
$0.2 million from the loan to Ridgewood Power B Fund/Providence Expansion
partially offset by capital expenditures of $20,000.  There were no
cash flows from investing activities in the first quarter of 2007.





In the
first quarter of 2007, the Trust used cash of $1.4 million in financing
activities, primarily as a result of $1 million and $0.4 million used for cash
distributions to shareholders and minority interest, respectively.  In
the first quarter of 2006, the Trust used cash of $0.7 million in financing
activities, which represents cash distributions to shareholders.





Future
Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements





The Trust
expects cash flows from operating activities, along with existing cash and
borrowing capabilities will be sufficient to provide working capital and fund
capital expenditures for the next 12 months.





Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations and Commitments





There
have been no material changes in the off-balance sheet arrangements and
contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the Trust’s 2006 Form
10-K.





ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK




The
disclosure required by this Item is omitted pursuant to Item 305(e) of
Regulation S-K.




ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES




In
accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer evaluate the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure
controls and procedures. A system of disclosure controls and procedures is
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a registrant in
reports filed with the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms.
This includes disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a registrant is accumulated and
communicated to senior management so as to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. A review of these controls and procedures was done by the
Trust as of March 31, 2007, which revealed that the following material
weaknesses previously identified continue to exist:





(i)
            a
      lack of sufficient personnel with relevant experience to develop,
      administer and monitor disclosure controls and procedures to enable the
      Trust to comply efficiently, or on a timely basis, with its financial
      reporting obligations,





(ii)
            inadequate
      disclosure controls and procedures, including inadequate record retention
      and review policies that would enable the Trust to meet its financial
      reporting and disclosure obligations in an efficient and timely
      manner.





As a
result of these weaknesses, the Trust has not timely met its reporting
obligations under the Exchange Act.





Since the
review, the Trust has implemented the following to address the above
weaknesses:





·
            Increased
      the number of degreed accountants. Additional staff expansion is
      underway.





·
            In
      May 2007, the Trust appointed a new Chief Financial Officer who is a
      Certified Public Accountant with approximately 29 years of professional
      accounting experience, including prior experiences as a financial officer
      of publicly
      traded companies.

 Table of Contents




·
            During
      the fourth quarter of 2007, the Trust expanded its disclosure controls and
      procedures. The Trust documented many of its existing informal procedures,
      established a compliance-focused disclosure committee, formalized monthly
      closing procedures, and implemented a corporate whistleblower
      policy.





The Trust
believes that the completion of the expansion of the accounting and financial
reporting staff and the implementation of the above procedures will mitigate the
above weaknesses. However, due to the Trust’s delinquencies in meeting its
filing deadlines under the Exchange Act, the Trust expects these deficiencies to
continue to be material weaknesses at least until such time as the Trust is no
longer delinquent in its Exchange Act filings.





The
Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange
Act and concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
because of the material weaknesses noted above, the Trust’s disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective.





The
Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that
there was no change in the Trust's internal control over financial reporting (as
such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred
during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over
financial reporting.
