Item 1.  Business
         --------

Capital  Preferred  Yield Fund-IV,  L.P., a Delaware  limited  partnership  (the
"Partnership"),  was  organized  on  December  18,  1995 and is  engaged  in the
business of owning and  leasing  equipment.  CAI  Equipment  Leasing V Corp.,  a
Colorado  corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Associates,  Inc.
("CAI"), is the general partner of the Partnership.

The  Partnership  commenced  business  operations  on April  16,  1996.  Through
December  31, 1997,  the  Partnership  had sold  approximately  460,000  Class A
limited  partner  units and on February  9, 1998  achieved  the planned  maximum
placement of 500,000 Class A limited partner units. During 1998, the Partnership
will enter its reinvestment  period as defined in the Partnership  Agreement.  A
summary of the Partnership's offering activities is presented below:

</TABLE>

Capital Associates  International,  Inc.  ("CAII"),  an affiliate of the general
partner, is the sole Class B limited partner of the Partnership. In exchange for
its Class B limited  partner  interest,  CAII is required to contribute  cash of
$10,000 for each  $1,000,000  of investors'  capital  contribution  (i.e.,  cash
investments in the Partnership) to the Partnership. In addition, CAII's interest
in Distributable Cash is subordinated to the Class A limited partners' interest.
The contributions of CAII are made simultaneously with the purchase of equipment
by the Partnership.  Through December 31, 1997, CAII had contributed $460,000 to
the Partnership.

The  Partnership's  overall  investment  objectives are to (i) raise the maximum
allowable   capital  from  investors  for  investment  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership's  investment  objectives  described  in the  Prospectus  (which was
reached on February 9, 1998); (ii) invest such capital and related  indebtedness
in a  diversified  portfolio of equipment  subject to leases with terms  ranging
from two to seven years;  (iii) if funds are  available for  distribution,  make
monthly cash  distributions  to the Class A and Class B limited  partners during
the reinvestment  period (a period that ends  approximately June 30, 2003); (iv)
re-invest all available  undistributed  cash from operations and cash from sales
in  additional   equipment  during  the  reinvestment  period  to  increase  the
Partnership's  portfolio  of  revenue-generating   equipment  provided  suitable
equipment can be identified and acquired;  and (v) sell or otherwise  dispose of
the  Partnership's  equipment and other assets in an orderly manner and promptly
distribute cash from sales thereof to the Partners within three years of the end
of the reinvestment period.

During 1997, the  Partnership  acquired  capital of various types under lease to
third  parties.  All  of  the  capital  was  purchased  by  CAII  directly  from
manufacturers  or  from  other   independent  third  parties  and  sold  to  the
Partnership.   The  capital  is  generally  comprised  of,   transportation  and
industrial equipment, office furniture and equipment and computer and peripheral
equipment, among others (the "equipment"). See Item 13 of this report,

                                       -2-

Item 1.  Business, continued
         --------

"Certain  Relationships  and  Related  Transactions"  for the detail  listing of
equipment  purchased during 1997. The Partnership expects that a majority of the
equipment  purchased  during  1998 will be  similar  in nature to the  equipment
acquired in 1997. As of December 31, 1997,  the general  partner has  identified
approximately   $3.6  million  of  additional   equipment   that  satisfied  the
Partnership's  acquisition  criteria that is expected to be acquired  during the
first quarter 1998.

The Partnership may assign the rentals from leases to financial institutions, or
acquire  leases  subject  to such  assignments,  at  fixed  interest  rates on a
nonrecourse  basis.  This  non-recourse  debt  financing,  also  referred  to as
discounted lease rentals,  will be utilized to finance the purchase of equipment
under lease, or to invest the proceeds  therefrom in additional  equipment under
lease.  In the event of default by a lessee,  the  financial  institution  has a
first lien on the underlying  leased  equipment with no further recourse against
the Partnership.  Cash proceeds from such financings,  or the assumption of such
assignments  incurred in the  acquisition  of leases are recorded on the balance
sheet as  discounted  lease  rentals.  As lessees  make  payments  to  financial
institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

During 1997, the  Partnership  leased  equipment to investment  grade lessees in
diverse  industries  including  the material  handling,  telecommunications  and
manufacturing industries. Approximately 79% of the Partnership's equipment under
lease was leased to investment  grade lessees as of December 31, 1997.  Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, an investment grade lessee is a company (i) with a
net worth in excess of $100,000,000 (and no debt issues that are rated); or (ii)
with a credit  rating of not less than Baa as  determined  by  Moody's  Investor
Services,  Inc. or comparable credit rating, as determined by another recognized
credit rating service;  or (iii) a lessee, all of whose lease payments have been
unconditionally  guaranteed  or  supported  by a letter  of  credit  issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements. The Partnership limits its credit
risk  through  selective  use of  non-recourse  debt  financing  of future lease
rentals, as described above.

The  Partnership  only  acquires  equipment  that  is on  lease  at the  time of
acquisition. After the initial term of its lease, each item of equipment will be
expected to provide additional investment income from its re-lease or sale. Upon
expiration of the initial lease,  the  Partnership  attempts to re-lease or sell
the equipment to the existing lessee. If a re-lease or sale to the lessee cannot
be negotiated,  the Partnership will attempt to lease or sell the equipment to a
third party.

The Partnership's business is not subject to seasonal variations.

The  ultimate  rate of  return  of the  Partnership's  leasing  transactions  is
dependent,  in part,  on the  general  level of  interest  rates at the time the
leases are originated,  as well as 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).  The  amount of future  distributions  to the  partners  will
depend, in part, on future interest rates.

The Partnership has no employees.  The officers,  directors and employees of the
general  partner  and  its  affiliates   perform   services  on  behalf  of  the
Partnership. The general partner is entitled to receive certain fees and expense
reimbursements in connection with the performance of these services. See Item 10
of this Report,  "Directors and Executive  Officers of the Partnership" and Item
13 of this Report,  "Certain  Relationships and Related Transactions," which are
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.  Business, continued
         --------

The  Partnership  competes  in  the  leasing  marketplace  as a  lessor  with  a
significant  number  of  other  companies,  including  equipment  manufacturers,
leasing companies and financial institutions. The Partnership competes mainly on
the basis of the  expertise  of its general  partner in  remarketing  equipment,
terms offered in its transactions, pricing and service. Although the Partnership
does not account for a significant percentage of the leasing market, the general
partner  believes  that the  Partnership's  marketing  strategies  and financing
capabilities  enable it to compete  effectively  in the  equipment  leasing  and
remarketing markets.

The Partnership  leases equipment to a significant  number of lessees.  However,
rental revenue from one lessee accounted for  approximately  12% ($1,386,538) of
total revenue of the  Partnership  during 1997.  Rental revenue from this lessee
constituted a larger  percentage of the  Partnership's  total revenue than it is
expected  to be in  the  future,  as  additional  leases  are  acquired  by  the
Partnership.

The  Partnership  is required to dissolve  and  distribute  all of its assets no
later than December 31, 2007. However,  the general partner anticipates that all
equipment  will be sold and the  Partnership  will be  liquidated  prior to that
date.


Item 2.  Properties
         ----------

Per the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  does  not own or  lease  any
physical  properties other than the equipment discussed in Item 1 "Business," of
this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's equipment is the subject of
any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
         ---------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the limited  partners of the Partnership,
through the  solicitation  of proxies or  otherwise,  during the fourth  quarter
ended December 31, 1997.


Item 5.  Market  for  the  Partnership's  Common  Equity and Related Stockholder
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         Matters
         -------

(a)      The Partnership's  Class A limited partner units,  Class B interest and
         general  partner  interest  are  not  publicly  traded.   There  is  no
         established public trading market for such units and interests and none
         is expected to develop.

(b)      At December 31, 1997, there were 2,226 Class A limited partners.

                                                     =======        ===========

         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  by a  partnership  which
         exceeds its net income for the fiscal  period may be deemed a return of
         capital for accounting  purposes.  However,  the total  percentage of a
         partnership's  return on capital  over its life can 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  distribution  for the month  ended  December  31,  1997,  totaling
         $425,479,  was paid to the Class A limited partners on January 3, 1998.
         Distributions to the general partner and Class B limited partner during
         1997 are  discussed in Item 13 of this Report,  "Certain  Relationships
         and Related Transactions."

         The  general  partner  believes  that  the  Partnership  will  generate
         sufficient cash flows from operations  during 1998, to (1) meet current
         operating  requirements,  (2) enable it to fund cash  distributions  to
         both the Class A and Class B limited  partners at  annualized  rates of
         10.5% of their capital  contributions,  (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.

*For the period from April 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to December 31,
 1996.

All  components of leasing margin  increased due to growth in the  Partnership's
lease portfolio.  Leasing margin ratio fluctuates  primarily due to non-recourse
interest   expense.   As  of  December  31,  1997,   approximately  40%  of  the
Partnership's portfolio consisted of operating leases financed with non-recourse
debt  while for the  comparable  period in 1996,  the  portfolio  was  minimally
financed with non-recourse debt and therefore, leasing margin was not materially
impacted by interest  expense.  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 is repaid.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on interest rates at the
time the leases are originated, as well as, 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).

INTEREST INCOME

Interest  income  increased  due to an increase  in invested  cash from sales of
Class A limited partner units pending the Partnership's  initial  acquisition of
equipment.

EXPENSES

Management   fees,   direct  services  from  general  partner  and  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  due to  growth in the  Partnership's  lease
portfolio.

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 is typically not known until  remarketing  subsequent to the
initial lease termination has occurred) is recorded as provision for losses.

         of Operations, continued

PROVISION FOR LOSSES, continued

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 that it has
credit and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,  in the ordinary course of
business,  it will incur losses from those exposures.  The Partnership  performs
on-going    quarterly    assessments    of   its   assets   to   identify    any
other-than-temporary losses in value.

There were no provision for losses recorded during 1997 or 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  was  formed on  December  18,  1995.  On April 16,  1996,  the
Partnership commenced offering 500,000 Class A limited partner units at $100 per
unit for sale to investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
- -------------------------------

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 the partners.

During 1997, the Partnership  acquired  equipment subject to leases with a total
purchase  price of  $47,828,703  (including  $16,946,684  of equipment  acquired
subject to existing  non-recourse  debt).  Also  during  1997,  the  Partnership
discounted  future rental payments from certain leases to  non-recourse  lenders
and received proceeds of $3,687,846.  Non-recourse borrowing against unleveraged
leases in the  Partnership's  lease  portfolio  may occur in the future as well,
when the general partner,  in its discretion,  determines that such non-recourse
financing is in the best interest of the  Partnership.  As of December 31, 1997,
the general  partner had  identified  $3.6 million of additional  equipment that
satisfied the Partnership's  acquisition criteria and is expected to be acquired
during 1998.

During 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership  declared  distributions  to the Class A
limited partners of $2,947,541 and $439,720, respectively, of which $425,479 was
paid  during  January  1998.  A 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 by a partnership which
exceeds  its net income for the fiscal  period may be deemed a return of capital
for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a partnership's return
on capital over its life can only be  determined  after all residual  cash flows
(which include  proceeds from the  re-leasing and sales of equipment)  have been
realized at the termination of the Partnership.  For 1997,  approximately 73% of
the cash  distributions  paid to the partners of the  Partnership  constituted a
return of capital for accounting purposes. This percentage may not be reflective
of the percentage of  distributions  that constitutes a return of capital at any
subsequent point in time.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate  sufficient cash
flows from operations during 1998, to (1) meet current  operating  requirements,
(2) enable it to fund cash distributions to both the Class A and Class B limited
partners at annualized rates of 10.5% of their capital  contributions  (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.

THE PARTNERS
CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P.

We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Capital  Preferred  Yield
Fund-IV,  L.P. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the related  statements of
income,  partners' capital,  and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the period from April 16, 1996  (commencement of operations) to December 31,
1996. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the  Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Capital  Preferred  Yield
Fund-IV,  L.P.  as of  December  31,  1997  and  1996,  and the  results  of its
operations  and its cash  flows for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 and the
period from April 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Organization

      Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized on
      December 18, 1995 as a limited  partnership under the laws of the State of
      Delaware pursuant to an Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
      Agreement").  The  Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring and
      leasing  a  diversified  portfolio  of  equipment  to  unaffiliated  third
      parties.  The  Partnership  will continue  until  December 31, 2007 unless
      terminated  earlier  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the  Partnership
      Agreement.  All  Partnership  equipment  is  expected  to be sold  and the
      Partnership  liquidated  between 2003 and 2007. The general partner of the
      Partnership is CAI Equipment Leasing V Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
      Capital Associates, Inc. ("CAI").

      The general  partner  manages the  Partnership,  including  investment  of
      funds,  purchase  and  sale of  equipment,  lease  negotiation  and  other
      administrative  duties. The Partnership  commenced business  operations on
      April 16,  1996,  and from that date through  December  31, 1997,  456,633
      Class A limited partner units were sold to  approximately  2,238 investors
      at a price of $100 per Class A limited partner unit.

      Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), a wholly owned subsidiary
      of CAI,  is the Class B limited  partner.  The Class B limited  partner is
      required to contribute cash, upon  acquisition of equipment,  in an amount
      equal to 1% of gross offering  proceeds  received from the sale of Class A
      limited partner units.

    Use of Estimates

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
      accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and  expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  For leasing  entities,  this  includes the
      estimate of residual  values,  as discussed  below.  Actual  results could
      differ from those estimates.

    Partnership Allocations

      Cash Distributions
      ------------------

        During  the   Reinvestment   Period  (as  defined  in  the   Partnership
        Agreement), available cash is distributed to the partners as follows:

    Partnership Allocations, continued

      Cash Distributions, continued
      ------------------

        First,  1.0% to the  general  partner  and  99.0% to the Class A limited
        partners   until   the  class  A  limited   partners   receive   annual,
        non-compounded   cumulative   distributions  equal  to  10.5%  of  their
        contributed capital.

        Second,  1.0% to the  general  partner  and 99.0% to the Class B limited
        partner until the Class B limited partner receives annual non-compounded
        cumulative distributions equal to 10.5% of its contributed capital.

        Third, any remaining available cash will be reinvested or distributed to
        the partners as specified in the Partnership Agreement.

      After the Reinvestment  Period (as defined in the Partnership  Agreement),
      available cash will be distributed to the partners as follows:

        First,  in accordance with the first and second  allocations  during the
        Reinvestment Period as described above.

        Second,  99.0% to the Class A limited  partners  and 1.0% to the general
        partner,  until the Class A limited  partners achieve Payout (as defined
        in the Partnership Agreement).

        Third,  99.0%  to the  Class B  limited  partner,  1.0%  to the  general
        partner,  until the Class B limited partner  achieves Payout (as defined
        in the Partnership Agreement).

        Fourth,  99.0% to the Class A and Class B limited  partners (as a class)
        and 1.0% to the general  partner,  until the Class A and Class B limited
        partners  receive  cash  distributions  equal to 170% of  their  capital
        contributions.

      Thereafter,  90% to the Class A and Class B limited  partners (as a class)
      and 10% to the general partner.

      Profits and Losses
      ------------------

      There are several special allocations that precede the general allocations
      of  profits  and  losses to the  partners.  The most  significant  special
      allocations are as follows:

    Partnership Allocations, continued

      Cash Distributions, continued
      ------------------

        First,  commissions  and expenses  paid in  connection  with the sale of
        Class A limited  partner units are allocated 1.0% to the general partner
        and 99.0% to the Class A limited partners.

        Second,  depreciation  relating to Partnership  equipment and any losses
        resulting from the sale of equipment are generally allocated 1.0% to the
        general partner and 99.0% to the limited partners (shared  99.0%/1.0% by
        the  Class A and  Class B  limited  partners,  respectively)  until  the
        cumulative amount of such depreciation and such losses allocated to each
        limited  partner  equals  such  limited  partner's  contributed  capital
        reduced by commissions  and other  expenses paid in connection  with the
        sale  of  Class A  limited  partner  units  allocated  to such  partner.
        Thereafter,  gain on sale of equipment, if any, will be allocated to the
        general partner in an amount equal to the sum of  depreciation  and loss
        on sale of equipment previously allocated to the general partner.

        Third,  notwithstanding  anything in the  Partnership  Agreement  to the
        contrary,  and before any other  allocation is made, items of income and
        gain for the current year (or period) shall be allocated,  as quickly as
        possible,  to the general  partner to the extent of any deficit  balance
        existing in the general partner's capital account as of the close of the
        immediately  preceding  year,  in order to  restore  the  balance in the
        general partner's capital account to zero.

      After  giving  effect to special  allocations,  profits (as defined in the
      Partnership  Agreement)  are first  allocated in proportion to, and to the
      extent  of,  any  previous  losses,  in  reverse  chronological  order and
      priority.  Any  remaining  profits  are  allocated  in the same  order and
      priority as cash distributions.

      After  giving  effect to special  allocations,  losses (as  defined in the
      Partnership  Agreement)  are allocated in proportion to, and to the extent
      of, any previous profits, in reverse chronological order and priority. Any
      remaining  losses are allocated  1.0% to the general  partner and 99.0% to
      the limited partners (shared 99.0%/1.0% by the Class A and Class B limited
      partners, respectively).


      Financial Reporting
      -------------------

      For financial reporting purposes,  net income is allocated to the partners
      in a manner consistent with the allocation of cash distributions.

    Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

      During 1997, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfer
      and  Servicing  of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities
      ("SFAS  No.  125").  SFAS  No.  125  provides  consistent   standards  for
      distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers
      that are secured  borrowings.  The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a
      material  impact on the  Partnership's  financial  position  or results of
      operations.

    Long-lived Assets

      The  Partnership  accounts for  long-lived  assets under the provisions of
      Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  Accounting for the
      Impairment of Long-lived  Assets and for Long-lived  Assets to be Disposed
      Of ("SFAS  No.  121").  SFAS No.  121  requires  that  long-lived  assets,
      including  operating leases,  and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be
      held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or
      changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
      not be  recoverable.  In  performing  the review for  recoverability,  the
      entity should  estimate the future cash flows  expected to result from the
      use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of the expected
      future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than
      the  carrying  amount of the  asset,  an  impairment  loss is  recognized.
      Measurement  of  an  impairment  loss  for  long-lived  assets,  including
      operating leases, and identifiable  intangibles held by the Partnership is
      based on the  fair  value  of the  asset  calculated  by  discounting  the
      expected future cash flows at an appropriate interest rate.

    Lease Accounting

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
      requires  that a lessor  account  for each  lease by the  direct  finance,
      sales-type or operating lease method.  The Partnership  currently utilizes
      the direct  financing and operating  methods for all of the  Partnership's
      equipment  under lease.  Direct finance leases are defined as those leases
      which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of
      the equipment to the lessee. For all types of leases, the determination of
      profit   considers  the   estimated   value  of  the  equipment  at  lease
      termination,  referred to as the residual value.  After the inception of a
      lease,  the Partnership may engage in financing of lease  receivables on a
      nonrecourse  basis  (i.e.,   "non-recourse   debt"  or  "discounted  lease
      rentals")  and/or  equipment  sale  transactions  to reduce or recover its
      investment in the equipment.

    The  Partnership's accounting  methods and their financial reporting effects
    are described below.

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases ("DFLs")

      The cost of the equipment,  including acquisition fees paid to the general
      partner, is recorded as net investment in DFLs on the accompanying balance
      sheet.  Leasing  revenue,  which is recognized over the term of the lease,
      consists of the excess of lease payments plus the estimated residual value
      over the equipment's cost. Earned income is recognized  monthly to provide
      a constant  yield and is recorded as direct  finance  lease  income on the
      accompanying  income statements.  Residual values are established at lease
      inception  equal to the estimated  value to be received from the equipment
      following termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances
      includes  anticipated  re-lease  proceeds),  as  determined by the general
      partner.  In estimating  such values,  the general  partner  considers all
      relevant information regarding the equipment and the lessee.

    Equipment on Operating Leases ("OLs")

      The cost of  equipment,  including  acquisition  fees paid to the  general
      partner,  is  recorded as leased  equipment  in the  accompanying  balance
      sheets and is depreciated on a straight-line  basis over the lease term to
      an amount equal to the estimated  residual value at the lease  termination
      date.  Leasing  revenue  consists  principally  of  monthly  rents  and is
      recognized  as  operating  lease  rentals  in  the   accompanying   income
      statements.  Residual  values are  established at lease inception equal to
      the  estimated   value  to  be  received  from  the  equipment   following
      termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances  includes
      anticipated  re-lease proceeds),  as determined by the general partner. In
      estimating  such  values,  the  general  partner  considers  all  relevant
      information  and  circumstances  regarding  the  equipment and the lessee.
      Because  revenue,  depreciation  expense and the  resultant  profit margin
      before  interest  expense  are  recorded  on a  straight-line  basis,  and
      interest expense on discounted lease rentals (discussed below) is recorded
      on the interest  method,  lower returns are realized in the early years of
      the term of an OL and higher returns in later years.

    Non-recourse Discounting of Rentals

       The  Partnership  may assign the future  rentals from leases to financial
       institutions,  or acquire  leases subject to such  assignments,  at fixed
       interest  rates on a  non-recourse  basis.  In return  for such  assigned
       future  rentals,  the  Partnership  receives the discounted  value of the
       rentals  in cash.  In the event of  default  by a lessee,  the  financial
       institution has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment,  with no
       further  recourse  against  the  Partnership.  Cash  proceeds  from  such
       financings,  or the  assumption of such  financings,  are recorded on the
       balance sheet as discounted  lease  rentals.  As lessees make payments to
       financial   institutions,   leasing  revenue  and  interest  expense  are
       recorded.

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Allowance for Losses

      An allowance for losses is maintained at levels  determined by the general
      partner to  adequately  provide for any  other-than-temporary  declines in
      asset values. In determining losses, economic conditions,  the activity in
      the  used   equipment   markets,   the  effect  of  actions  by  equipment
      manufacturers, the financial condition of lessees, the expected courses of
      action by lessees with regard to leased  equipment at  termination  of the
      initial lease term, and other factors which the general  partner  believes
      are  relevant,  are  considered.  Asset  chargeoffs  are recorded upon the
      termination or remarketing of the underlying  assets.  The lease portfolio
      is reviewed  quarterly to  determine  the  adequacy of the  allowance  for
      losses.

    Transactions Subsequent to Initial Lease Termination

      After the initial term of equipment under lease expires,  the equipment is
      either sold or re-leased to the  existing  lessee or another  third party.
      The remaining net book value of equipment sold is removed and gain or loss
      recorded when equipment is sold. The accounting for re-leased equipment is
      consistent  with the accounting  described under "Net Investment in Direct
      Financing Leases" and "Equipment on Operating Leases" above.

    Income Taxes

      No provision  for income taxes has been made in the  financial  statements
      since  taxable  income  or  loss is  recorded  in the  tax  return  of the
      individual partners.

    Cash Equivalents

      The Partnership considers  short-term,  highly liquid investments that are
      readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.  Cash
      equivalents  of  approximately  $4,676,000  and $2,491,000 at December 31,
      1997 and 1996, respectively, are comprised of investments in a mutual fund
      which invests solely in U.S.  Government  treasury bills having maturities
      of 90 days or less.

    Net Income Per Class A Limited Partner Unit

      Net income per Class A limited  partner  unit is computed by dividing  the
      net  income  allocated  to the Class A limited  partners  by the  weighted
      average  number of Class A limited  partner units  outstanding  during the
      period.

8.  Concentration of Credit Risk
    ----------------------------

    Approximately 79% of the  Partnership's  equipment under lease was leased to
    investment  grade  companies.  Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement,  an
    investment  grade  lessee  is a  company  (i) with a net  worth in excess of
    $100,000,000  (and no debt  issues  that are  rated),  or (ii) with a credit
    rating of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
    or  comparable  credit rating as  determined  by another  recognized  credit
    rating  service;  or (iii) a lessee,  all of whose lease  payments have been
    unconditionally  guaranteed  or supported by a letter of credit  issued by a
    company meeting one of the above requirements.

    One lessee accounted for  approximately 12% ($1,387,000) of total revenue of
    the Partnership  during 1997. Three lessees  accounted for approximately 48%
    ($453,000) of total revenue of the Partnership  during 1996.  Rental revenue
    from these  lessees  constituted a larger  percentage  of the  Partnership's
    total revenue than  expected in future  periods,  as  additional  leases are
    acquired by the Partnership.

    The  Partnership's  cash balance is  maintained  with a high credit  quality
    financial institution.  At times, such balances may be in excess of the FDIC
    insurance  limit due to the receipt of lockbox amounts that have not cleared
    the presentment bank (generally for less than two days). As the funds become
    available, they are invested in a money market mutual fund.

9.  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    -----------------------------------------------------

    Statement of Financial  Standards No. 107,  Disclosures  about Fair Value of
    Financial   Instruments   specifically   excludes  certain  items  from  its
    disclosure  requirements  such as the  Partnership's  investment  in  leased
    assets.  The  carrying  amounts  at  December  31,  1997  for  cash and cash
    equivalents,  accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
    payable to  affiliates,  rents and sale  proceeds  received  in advance  and
    distributions  payable to partners  approximate their fair values due to the
    short maturity of these instruments.

    As of December 31, 1997,  the carrying  value of  discounted  lease  rentals
    approximates its fair value because the debt was recently acquired.
