PERFORMANCE ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND IV, LTD.,
A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
-----------------------------
Organization and Description of Business
----------------------------------------
Performance Asset Management Fund IV, Ltd., A California Limited
Partnership ("Partnership"), was formed in October 1992, for the
purpose of acquiring investments in or direct ownership of distressed
loan portfolios from financial institutions and other sources.
Interests in the Partnership were sold in an intrastate offering to
residents of California pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(A) (11)
of the Securities Act of 1933; however, the Partnership did not begin its
primary operations until March 1993. The General Partner is Performance
Development, Inc., a California corporation ("General Partner").
The Partnership terminates at December 31, 2005. At that time, the
Partnership will distribute any remaining cash after payment of
Partnership obligations following the sale or collection of all assets.
Profits, losses, and cash distributions are allocated 90% to the limited
partners and 10% to the General Partner until such time as the limited
partners have received cash equal to 100% of their contributions to the
capital of the Partnership plus an amount equal to 6% per annum of the
original limited partner capitalization yet to be returned. Thereafter,
Partnership profits, losses, and cash distributions will be allocated 70%
to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner.
Cash and Equivalents
--------------------
The Partnership defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less. The Partnership
maintains cash balances at one bank in accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership uses a cash management
system whereby idle cash balances are transferred daily into a master
account and invested in high quality, short-term securities that do not
enjoy the benefit of the federal insurance. The General Partner believes
that these cash balances are not subject to any significant credit risk due
to the nature of the investments and the strength of the bank and has not
experienced any losses with cash and equivalent investments. The Partner-
ship received interest income from these investments of $60,128 and $27,584
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively.

<PAGE>
Cash Held in Trust
------------------
The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership and Performance Asset
Management, Ltd., A California Limited Partnership; Performance Asset
Management Fund II, Ltd. A California Limited Partnership; Performance
Asset Management III, Ltd., A California Limited Partnership; and
Performance Asset Management Fund V, Ltd. A California Limited Partnership
("PAM Funds") may, in the future, be reorganized and merged into
Performance Asset Management Company, a Delaware Corporation ("PAMCO")
("Rollup"). In an effort to accomplish the Rollup, the General Partner,
on behalf of the Partnership and the PAM Funds, entered into an agreement
on December 12, 1995, with the State of California Department of
Corporations, pursuant to the provisions of which the Performance Asset
Management Fund Trust ("Trust") was created. Certain funds of the Partner-
ship are held by the Trust and these funds held in trust are subject to the
terms of the Trust Agreement. The Trust was the recipient of those funds
resulting from a settlement of certain then pending litigation between the
Partnership and its affiliates and West Capital Financial Services Corp.
("WCFSC") and its affiliates. The trust fund balance, until termination,
must exceed $5,000,000 which is comprised of funds from the partnership
and the PAM Funds. The Trust will terminate and the trustee will distri-
bute all of the remaining funds held by the trustee on August 18, 1998 if
the Rollup is not completed by such date. The Partnership's share of the
Trust's funds at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $2,881,391 and
$2,849,998.
Investments in Distressed Loan Portfolios and Revenue Recognition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Investments in distressed loan portfolios are carried at the lower of cost
or estimated net realizable value. Amounts collected are treated as a
reduction to the carrying basis of the related investments on an individual
portfolio basis and are reported in the Statement of Operations as
portfolio basis recovery. Under the cost recovery method of revenue
recognition used by the Partnership, net investment income is not
recognized until 100% recovery of the carrying value of the investment in
each portfolio occurs. Estimated net realizable value represents the
General Partner's estimates, based on its present plans and intentions, of
the present value of future collections. Due to the distressed nature of
these investments, no interest is earned on outstanding balances, and
there is no assurance that the unpaid principal balances of these invest-
ments will ultimately be collected. Any adjustments reducing the carrying
value of the individual portfolios are recorded in the results of opera-
tions as a general and administrative expense.
Organization Costs, Net
-----------------------
Organization costs include legal and other professional fees incurred
related to the organization of the Partnership. These costs are
capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over five
years. Organization costs were fully amortized at December 31, 1997.

<PAGE>
Professional Expenses
---------------------
Professional expenses are incurred in relation to ongoing accounting and
legal assistance.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements,
except for the Partnership's minimum state franchise tax liability of
$800. All partners report individually on their share of the Partner-
ship's operating results.
Estimates
---------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from
the estimates.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Disclosure regarding: Forward Looking Statements
------------------------------------------------
The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q, other than
historical facts, contains "forward-looking statements" (as such term
is defined with the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995) including, without limitation, statements as to the Partner-
ship's objective to grow through future portfolio acquisitions, portfolio
account sales, the Partnership's ability to realize operating efficiencies
in the integration of its acquisitions, trends in the Partnership's future
operating performance, and statements as to the Partnership's or the
General Partner's beliefs, expectations and opinions. Forward looking
statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology,
such as "may", "will", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "believes",
"probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations
of those terms or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements
are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various
factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. In addition to the factors discussed in
this Report, certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including,
without limitation, the risk that the Partnership will not be able to
realize operating efficiencies in the integration of its acquisitions,
risks associated with growth and future acquisitions, fluctuations in
quarterly operating results, and the other risks detailed from time to
time in the Partnership's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K,
dated March 31, 1998, can cause actual results and developments to be
materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements.

Results of Operations.
----------------------
The Partnership recorded net investment income of $42,117 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, a 2122% increase from $1,895 for the
comparable period in 1997. The increase was attributed to additional
portfolios that generated collections in excess of the carrying value
of the portfolio and as a result are reflected in net investment income.
Approximately 4% of portfolio collections received for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was reflected as investment income, compared to less
than 1% for the similar period in 1997.
Net investment revenue of $42,117 for the three months ending March 31,
1998 is the direct result of portfolio collection proceeds from six
portfolios. The Partnership acquired three portfolios during the first
quarter of 1998, which offset the reduction of net assets as a result of
portfolio collections recognized as portfolio basis reductions. The
Partnership maintains and holds two portfolios which contribute 59% of
net investment revenue and four other portfolios which contributed the
remaining net investment revenue during the three months ended March 31,
1998. Collections for the months ended January 31, 1998, February 28,
1998 and March 31, 1998 totaled $239,823, $408,943, and $370,152,
respectively.
Total operating expenses of the Partnership decreased 18% to $197,948 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $240,918 for the comparable
period in 1997. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction of
professional fees of 60% to $37,353 for the three months ended March 31,
1998, from $92,615 for the similar period in 1997, attributed to a
reduction of legal fees associated with the Rollup. Collection expenses
increased 149%, to $93,018 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$37,307 for the same period in 1997. This is primarily due to the three
portfolios acquired during the first quarter of 1998 that require
initial collection expenses such as debtor notification letters and
certain credit bureau reports. Management fees also increased 18% to
$67,205 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $57,092
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This is due to the acquisi-
tion of new portfolios increasing the net assets under management.
Operating expenses as a percent of portfolio collections totaled approx-
imately 19% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 32%
for the similar period in 1997. This 14% decrease is primarily attributed
a decrease in professional fees related to the contemplated Rollup.

<PAGE>
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Partnership's total assets increased approximately 8% to $16,567,459
as of March 31, 1998, from $15,296,220 at December 31, 1997. The
increase was primarily related to portfolio acquisitions totaling
$4,847,880, which offset the reduction in investments in distressed
loan portfolios. The decrease of $2,858,076 in deposit on distressed
loan portfolio acquisition was attributed to a deposit prior to year
end that was consummated shortly after year end. The increase of
$534,864 in due from affiliates is primarily attributed to portfolio
collections recorded but not yet paid. The increase of $1,178,535 in
due to affiliates for the first quarter of 1998 was due primarily to
accrued and unpaid collection expenses, accrued and unpaid management
fees, and declared but unpaid distributions to the General Partner.
The Partnership acquired three new distressed portfolio assets in the
first quarter of 1998 from a third party financial institution which
specializes in credit card origination. The General Partner anticipates
that the Partnership will acquire additional portfolios in the future.
Future acquisitions will depend on the asset market, which continues to
grow in size and diversity. The General Partner believes that the
Partnership will continue to acquire low-priced distressed portfolios;
however, the General Partner will continue to evaluate assets with
different pricing and debtor account structure to determine whether
such portfolios can generate significant immediate cash flows and
provide additional liquidity to the Partnership.
The Partnership has made no future commitments with credit card origina-
tors and other financial institutions to acquire portfolio assets. The
General Partner plans to use its present contacts and relationships to
identify and acquire additional assets at optimal prices, and believes
that it will have no difficulties in identifying and acquiring such
assets. Distributions were suspended during the third quarter of 1997
in anticipation of the contemplated reorganization of the Partnership
with other affiliated partnerships and Performance Capital Management,
Inc., a California corporation and an affiliate of the General Partner
("PCM"). The General Partner also believes current cash reserves and
future portfolio collection proceeds will be sufficient to acquire
additional portfolio assets in the next twelve months. However, the
General Partner will continuously monitor the Partnership's liquidity
and evaluate whether additional capital will be necessary for future
growth.
11
<PAGE>
Impact of Additional Partnership Acquisitions and Resources on Operations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The General Partner anticipates that additional portfolio acquisitions and
continued expansion will improve the Partnership's liquidity, profita-
bility and financial condition, which will result in increased portfolio
collections and sales. The General Partner believes that PCM, which serves
as the servicer of the Partnership's portfolios of indebtedness, must
continue to increase that amount of its collection representatives and
human resources in order to supplement such growth to the Partnership.
The General Partner, in conjunction with PCM and other affiliated companies
and partnerships, is seeking to lease office space in which PCM and the
Partnership plan to move their facilities. The General Partner believes
that this move provides the Partnership with the adequate operating
facilities for the future growth of the Partnership.
A proposal is currently under consideration by the General Partner,
pursuant to which the PAM Funds and the Partnership would merge with
and into PAMCO. The result of the proposed merger would be that a
series of interrelated changes to the current organizational form of
PAMCO would be implemented, including (a) merging the Partnership and
the PAM Funds with and into PAMCO, as a result of which PAMCO would be
the sole surviving entity; (b) terminating the PAM Funds and the
Partnership and (c) converting the Limited Partners interests in the
Partnership into common shares issued by PAMCO.
Year 2000 Compliance.
---------------------
The General Partner recognizes that the arrival of the Year 2000 poses
a unique challenge to the ability of the computer systems of PCM used to
service, manage and collect the portfolios in which the Partnership has
an interest, to recognize properly and process date sensitive information
related to the date change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000.
As the century date change occurs, date-sensitive systems may recognize
the Year 2000 as 1900, or not at all. This inability to recognize or
treat properly the Year 2000 may cause PCM's computer systems to process
financial and operational information incorrectly, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations.
PCM has assessed and begun remedial work relating to PCM's computer
software programs and business processes to provide for PCM's ability
to continue to function effectively.
12
<PAGE>
In 1997, PCM began the process of identifying, evaluating and implement-
ing changes to PCM's computer programs necessary to address the Year
2000 issue. The General Partner is currently addressing the Partnership's
internal Year 2000 issue by coordinating with PCM in connection with PCM's
modification of existing programs and conversions to new programs. The
General Partner is also in communication with financial institutions and
other entities with which the Partnership conducts business to help them
identify and resolve the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the Partnership's
business operations. An assessment of the readiness of those third party
institutions and entities with which the Partnership does business is
ongoing. While PCM and the General Partner are confident that PCM will
complete the assessment and remediation of PCM's computer software, there
can be no assurance that the necessary modifications and conversions by
those third party institutions and entities with which the Partnership
conducts business will be completed in a timely manner, which could have
a material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations.
The total cost to the Partnership associated with the required modifica-
tions and conversions is not expected to be material to the Partnership's
results of operations and financial position and is being expensed as
incurred.
