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 June 30, 2000, management fees of $4,708 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 June 30, 2000, direct services from the General
    Partner in the amount of $6,712 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.

    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 June 30, 2000, the Partnership acquired the
    equipment described below from Capital Associates International, Inc.:

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

   According to the records of CAII, an affiliate of the general partner, as of
   June 30, 2000, CAII owes the Partnership approximately $400,000, 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 $3.0 million to other investors and creditors as of July
   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 six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999 due to a decrease in the
operating lease portfolio.  Interest on discounted lease rentals increased for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six months ended June 30,
1999 primarily due to an increase in discounted lease rentals. Direct finance
lease income increased for the three and six months ended due to an increase in
the net investment in direct finance leases compared to the same period of 1999.

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 decreased for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 primarily due to a
variance in equipment available for sale.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 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 six
months ended June 30, 2000 were lower than the six months ended June 30, 1999
primarily due to an decrease in rents collected.

Direct services from general partner increased for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 six months
ended June 30, 2000 generated refurbishing charges in the amount of $52,030.

General and administrative charges increased for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to a one time
remarketing fee on the renewal of a lease for approximately $25,000, an increase
in audit fees of $22,000 and an increase in income tax expense of approximately
$13,000.  The increase in income tax expense is due to a change by the State of
Michigan, in the method of apportions of multi-state companies and an increase
in appraised fees to determine fair market value.

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 $75,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related primarily to equipment
returned to the Partnership and the associated decrease in the estimated value
to be received from the equipment.

          Results of Operations, continued


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 six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership acquired equipment
subject to leases with a total purchase price of  $7,006,579.  As of June 30,
2000, the general partner had identified approximately $3 million of additional
equipment that satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria and is expected
to be acquired during the remainder of 2000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership declared
distributions to the partners of $2,637,004 ($9,298 of which was paid in July
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
June 30, 2000, CAII owes the Partnership approximately $400,000, 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 $3.0 million to other investors and creditors as of July 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.
