IEA MARINE CONTAINER INCOME FUND IV
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Operations
IEA Marine Container Income Fund IV (A California Limited Partnership)
(the "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of
California on November 25, 1981 for the purpose of owning and leasing
marine cargo containers. The managing general partner is Cronos
Capital Corp. ("CCC"); the associate general partner is Smith Barney
Shearson, Inc. CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the
"Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the
Partnership.
(b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement
Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
CCC. CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the
Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing
operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing
and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has
full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and
services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the
Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership,
together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company
and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard
to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition
of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the
Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee.
The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing
Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals
collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating
expenses and management fees to CCC. The Leasing Company leases
containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years).
Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be
leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow
the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various
locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and
the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases
are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used.
Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases;
leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the
financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease
rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these
financial statements.
(c) Basis of Accounting
The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is
recognized when earned.
(d) Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form
10-K.
The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition
and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

(2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company
Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by
deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and incentive
fees payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates from the
rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership under
operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the
Partnership. Net lease receivables at September 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994 were as follows:

(3) Net Lease Revenue
Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses and
management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company, from the rental revenue
billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for
the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, was as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the
Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
1) Material changes in financial condition between September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.
The Registrant disposed of 1,227 containers, an amount approximately equal
to 11% of its original fleet size, during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995, in accordance with one of its original investment
objectives - to realize the residual value of its containers after the
expiration of their economic useful lives. The diminishing fleet size and
its effect on operations contributed to the reductions in short-term
investments and net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company. The
Registrant extinguished the remaining balance of its equipment debt during
the first quarter of 1995.
Since December 31, 1994, the Managing General Partner has monitored the
Registrant's fleet size and results of operations, as well as various
alternatives and opportunities for selling the remaining containers. The
Managing General Partner expects to continue monitoring these factors
throughout the 1996 fiscal year. However, during this period, the
Registrant will continue disposing its containers as opportunities arise.
The Registrant's continuing efforts to dispose of the remaining fleet
should produce lower operating results and, consequently, lower
distributions to its partners in subsequent periods.
The Registrant's cash balances at September 30, 1995 included sales
proceeds from equipment disposals in the amount of $459,033. The Registrant
will distribute these sales proceeds and $571,626 of cash from operations
during the fourth quarter of 1995, representing distributions to its
limited partners for the third quarter of 1995.
2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1994.
Net lease revenue for the third quarter of 1995 was $391,050, a decrease of
35% over the third quarter of 1994. Gross rental revenue (a component of
net lease revenue) for the quarter was $1,171,953, a decline of 15% from
the same period last year. For the first nine months of 1995, net lease
revenue was $1,375,823, a decline of 32% from the first nine months of
1994. Gross rental revenue declined 12% to $3,678,672 over the same
nine-month period.
Gross rental revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995
was primarily affected by the Registrant's diminishing fleet size.
Utilization rates increased from those levels experienced during the same
periods in the prior year. However, competitive pressures within the
container leasing market, as well as the Leasing Company's efforts to
improve the credit quality of its customer portfolio, combined to create a
resistance to higher per-diem rental rates. Accordingly, average per-diem
rental rates remained relatively stable when compared to the same periods
in the prior year. The Registrant expects to gain long-term benefits from
the improvement in the credit quality of this customer portfolio, as the
allowance for doubtful accounts and related expenses should decline.
The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Average Fleet Size (measured in
twenty-foot equivalents (TEU)) 9,625 11,743 10,197 12,143
Average Utilization 88% 85% 88% 85%
</TABLE>

<PAGE> 10
During the third quarter of 1995, the container leasing market began to
experience the effects of increasingly competitive market conditions,
including, but not limited to, a resistance to higher per-diem rental
rates, slightly lower utilization rates resulting from an expanding supply
of marine cargo containers within the container industry, and the economic
condition of the shipping industry, which has experienced a current trend
toward consolidation. Accordingly, the Registrant expects a stable
container leasing market during the remainder of 1995 and first half of
1996.
The declining fleet size and higher utilization rates contributed to a
$180,789 and $248,842 decline in rental equipment operating expenses during
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively.
Accordingly, base management fees also declined. The extinguishment of the
Registrant's debt during the first quarter of 1995 contributed to an
increase in incentive fees, which are a performance based fee, subject to
the operating results of the fleet, and the cash generated and distributed
from operations.
Approximately 41% and 35% of the Registrant's net earnings for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, were from
gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 31% and 23% for the same
three and nine-month periods in the prior year. As the Registrant
accelerates the disposal of its containers in subsequent periods, net gain
on disposal will contribute significantly to the Registrant's net earnings.
