CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS-IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of Capital Realty Investors-IV Limited Partnership (the Partnership) as
of March 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the
interim period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB. Certain information and accounting policies and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such instructions. These condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 1997.
2. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership's obligations with respect to its investments in Local
Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes having a principal balance of
$42,011,391 (exclusive of unamortized discount on purchase money notes of
$9,678,763) plus accrued interest of $88,933,949 as of March 31, 1998, are
payable in full upon the earliest of: (i) sale or refinancing of the respective
Local Partnership's rental property; (ii) payment in full of the respective
Local Partnership's permanent loan; or (iii) maturity. Purchase money notes in
an aggregate principal amount of $1,370,000 and $1,330,000 matured on July 27,
1994 and August 31, 1997, respectively, but have not been paid, as discussed
below. The remaining purchase money notes mature from 1999 to 2026.
The purchase money notes are generally secured by the Partnership's
interest in the respective Local Partnerships. There is no assurance that the
underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and equity to enable the
Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and accrued interest when
due. If a purchase money note is not paid in accordance with its terms, the
Partnership will either have to renegotiate the terms of repayment or risk
losing its partnership interest in the Local Partnership. The Partnership's
inability to pay certain of the purchase money note principal and accrued
interest balances when due, and the resulting uncertainty regarding the
Partnership's continued ownership interest of the related Local Partnerships,
does not impact the Partnership's financial condition because the purchase money
notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the
related Local Partnerships. Therefore, should the investment in any of the
Local Partnerships with maturing purchase money notes not produce sufficient
value to satisfy the related purchase money notes, the Partnership's exposure to
loss is limited because the amount of the nonrecourse indebtedness of each of
the maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment
in and advances to the related Local Partnerships. Thus, even a complete loss
of one of these Local Partnerships would not have a material impact on the
financial condition of the Partnership.

Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $4,241,791 and $3,853,116 respectively.
Amortization of the imputed interest on purchase money notes increased interest
expense during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 by $1,524,829 and
$1,276,055, respectively. The accrued interest on the purchase money notes of
$88,933,949 and $86,434,915 as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respect-
ively, is due on the respective maturity dates of the purchase money notes or
earlier, in some instances, if the pertinent Local Partnership has distributable
net cash flow, as defined in the relevant Local Partnership agreements.
Garden Court
------------
The report of the auditors on the financial statements of Garden Court
Associates Limited Partnership (Garden Court) for the year ended December 31,
1997 indicated that substantial doubt existed about the ability of the Local
Partnership to continue as a going concern due the negative cash flow resulting
from decreasing occupancy levels. As of March 31, 1998, Garden Court reported a
net operating loss of approximately $76,850 and a 50% occupancy level. Garden
Court has been accruing management fees payable to the local managing general
partner, who is also the management agent, in order to remain current on the
mortgage note secured by the property. The Partnership's investment in Garden
Court was previously reduced to zero as a result of losses from the Local
Partnership during prior years. In addition, the Partnership did not issue any
purchase money notes or debt instruments in connection with its investment in
Garden Court. Therefore, the uncertainty about the Local Partnership's
continued ownership of the property does not impact the Partnership's financial
condition. Furthermore, the complete loss of this investment would not have a
material impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.
Highland Village
----------------
The Managing General Partner is currently negotiating an extension on the
purchase money notes related to Highland Village. The purchase money notes, the
aggregate principal amount of which is $1.1 million, are due to mature on
October 31, 1999. In connection with the proposed extension of the purchase
money notes, the Managing General Partner, the local managing general partner
and the purchase money noteholders are jointly exploring various options to
refinance the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) and HUD Section 236
interest rate subsidized mortgage loan related to this property. There is no
assurance that the noteholders will agree to an extension on the purchase money
notes, or that a refinancing of the mortgage loan will be obtained.
Holiday Village
---------------
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to Holiday
Village Apartments on July 27, 1994 when the note matured and was not paid. The
defaulted amount included principal and accrued interest of $1,370,000 and
$2,862,342, respectively. As of May 7, 1998, principal and accrued interest
totaling $1,370,000 and $5,079,837, respectively, were due. The Managing
General Partner and the noteholder continue to negotiate settlement options, and
as of May 7, 1998, negotiations between the Managing General Partner and the
noteholder were ongoing. There is no assurance that an agreement will be
-5-

reached. Should the noteholder begin foreclosure proceedings on the
Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership, the Partnership intends
to vigorously defend any action by the noteholder. However, there is no
assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the Local
Partnership. The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's
interest in the related Local Partnership does not impact the Partnership's
financial condition, as discussed above.
Jewish Federation
-----------------
The purchase money notes relating to Jewish Federation Apartments
Associates (Jewish Federation), the aggregate principal amount of which is $1.3
million, are due to mature October 31, 1999. In 1997, the Managing General
Partner entered into an agreement with the purchase money noteholders to extend
the maturity date for five years, subject to the donation and transfer by the
Local Partnership of an unimproved portion of the property to an entity
affiliated with the local managing general partner. The Local Partnership had
entered into an agreement to make such donation and transfer, but the
transaction was subject to HUD approval, which was denied in January, 1998. In
April 1998, the local managing general partner indicated that they had met with
HUD and intend to reapply for financing with HUD. There is no assurance that
such financing will be obtained. The Managing General Partner will continue to
work with the local managing general partner to attempt to work out an agreement
relating the purchase money notes. There is no assurance that such an agreement
can be reached.
Redden Gardens
--------------
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to Redden
Development Company (Redden Gardens) on August 31, 1997 when the notes matured
and were not paid. The defaulted amount included principal and accrued interest
of $1,330,000 and $2,783,593, respectively. As of May 7, 1998, principal and
accrued interest of $1,330,000 and $3,030,733, respectively, were due. In
accordance with the security agreement related to the purchase money notes, the
Partnership submitted a plan of action to cure the default. The Managing
General Partner proposed a five year extension on the purchase money notes.
This offer was rejected by the purchase money noteholders. On February 12,
1998, at the request of the purchase money noteholders, a subsequent proposal to
extend the purchase money notes for five years was forwarded to the purchase
money noteholders. As of May 7, 1998, the purchase money noteholders had not
responded to this proposal. The Managing General Partner commissioned a rental
market study and is evaluating the feasibility of converting the property to
market-rate. No conclusion has been reached as of May 7, 1998. There is no
assurance that the property will be converted nor is there any assurance that an
agreement will be reached with the purchase money noteholders. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its
interest in the Local Partnership. The uncertainty about the continued
ownership of the Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership does
not impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.

As of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Partnership's share of
cumulative losses of eight and ten, respectively of the thirty-six Local Part-
nerships exceeds the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to
those Local Partnerships by $13,385,215 and $13,044,976, respectively. Since the
Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to
these Local Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. AFFORDABLE HOUSING LEGISLATION
President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 1998 HUD appropriations bill into
law, effective October 1, 1997. The new legislation allows all Section 8
contracts with rents at (or reduced to) less than 120% of fair market rents
which expire between now and September 1998 to be renewed for one year. At the
beginning of Fiscal Year 1999 (October 1, 1998), all expiring contracts with
rents exceeding comparable market rents and whose mortgages are insured by FHA
will be subject to the Mark-to-Market legislation.
Mark-to-Market implementation will reduce rental income at properties which
are currently subsidized at higher-than-market rental rates, and will therefore
lower cash flow available to meet mortgage payments and operating expenses.

Each affected property will undergo debt restructuring according to terms
determined by an individual property and operations evaluation. This will
involve reducing the first mortgage loan balance to an amount supportable by the
property, taking into account the property's operating expenses and reduced
income. The balance of the amount written down from the first mortgage will be
converted to a non-performing but accruing (soft) second mortgage. The Section
8 HAP contracts for the following properties expire during the government's
fiscal year 1998.

With the uncertainty of continued project-based Section 8 subsidies for
properties with expiring HAP contracts, there is no assurance that these rental
properties will be able to maintain the rental income and occupancy levels
necessary to pay operating costs and debt service. It is difficult to predict
the impact on the Local Partnerships and the resulting impact on the Partnership
at this time.
4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in managing the Partnership. The Partnership paid $32,138 and $21,107 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, as direct reimburse-
ment of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership. Additionally, the
Partnership is obligated to pay an annual incentive management fee (Management
Fee), after all other expenses of the Partnership are paid. The Partnership
paid the Managing General Partner a Management Fee, as discussed above, of
$93,750 for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Capital Realty Investors-IV Limited Partnership's (the Partnership)
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains information that may be considered forward looking,
including statements regarding the effect of governmental regulations. Actual
results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking
statements and will be affected by a variety of factors including national and
local economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, terms of
governmental regulations that affect the Partnership and interpretations of
those regulations, the competitive environment in which the Partnership
operates, and the availability of working capital.
General
-------
Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are financed
by state housing agencies. The Managing General Partner has been working to
develop strategies to sell or refinance certain properties pursuant to programs
developed by these agencies or other potential buyers. These programs may
include opportunities to sell the property to a qualifying purchaser who would
agree to maintain the property as low to moderate income housing in perpetuity,
or to refinance the property, or to obtain supplemental financing. The Managing
General Partner continues to monitor certain state housing agency programs
and/or programs provided by certain lenders, to ascertain whether the properties
would qualify within the parameters of a given program and whether these
programs would provide an appropriate economic benefit to the limited partners
of the Partnership.
Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are dependent
on the receipt of project-based Section 8 Rental Housing Assistance Payments
(HAP) provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
pursuant to HAP contracts. President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 1998 HUD
appropriations bill into law, effective October 1, 1997. The new legislation
allows all Section 8 contracts with rents at (or reduced to) less than 120% of
fair market rents which expire between now and September 1998 to be renewed for
one year. At the beginning of Fiscal Year 1999 (October 1, 1998), all expiring
contracts with rents exceeding comparable market rents and whose mortgages are
insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will be subject to the Mark-
to-Market legislation.
Mark-to-Market implementation will reduce rental income at properties which
are currently subsidized at higher-than-market rental rates, and will therefore
lower cash flow available to meet mortgage payments and operating expenses.
Each affected property will undergo debt restructuring according to terms
determined by an individual property and operations evaluation. This will
involve reducing the first mortgage loan balance to an amount supportable by the
property, taking into account the property's operating expenses and reduced
income. The balance of the amount written down from the first mortgage will be
converted to a non-performing but accruing (soft) second mortgage.
Under current law, the write down of an FHA-insured mortgage under Mark-to-
Market would trigger cancellation of debt income to the limited partners, a
taxable event, even though no actual cash is received. Additionally, the newly
created second mortgage may accrue interest at a lower-than-market rate, thereby
generating further taxable "income." Proposals to counter these tax effects
have been presented; however, no form of relief has been approved under IRS
regulations at this time. Each property subject to Mark-to-Market will be

-----------------------------------
affected in a different manner, and it is very difficult to predict the exact
form of restructuring or potential tax liabilities to the limited partners at
this time.
The Managing General Partner is considering new strategies to deal with the
ever changing environment of affordable housing policy. Section 236 and Section
221(d)(3) properties that are in the 18th year of their mortgage may be eligible
for pre-payment of the mortgage. Properties with expiring Section 8 HAP
contracts may become convertible to market-rate apartment properties.
Currently, there are a few lenders that will provide financing either to prepay
the existing mortgage or provide additional funds to allow the property to
convert to market-rate units. Where opportunities exist, the Managing General
Partner will continue to work with the Local Partnerships to develop strategies
that make economic sense for all parties involved.
Financial Condition/Liquidity
----------------------------
The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of
$11,071,715 (or approximately $146.12 per Additional Limited Partner unit) and
$10,197,871 (or approximately $134.58 per Additional Limited Partner unit) as of
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, along with anticipated
future cash distributions from the Local Partnerships, is expected to meet its
current and anticipated operating cash needs. As of March 31, 1998, $50,400 of
cash resources was restricted for future interest payments on one of the
purchase money notes. As of May 7, 1998, there were no material commitments for
capital expenditures.
The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the receipt of distributions
from Local Partnerships was adequate to support operating cash requirements.
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased from the corresponding period in 1997 primarily due to an increase in
interest expense due to the amortization of discount on purchase money notes.
Partially offsetting the increase in the Partnership's net loss was an increase
in share of income from partnerships principally due to decreased operating and
maintenance costs at two properties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment to the extent the Partnership has no further obligation
to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships. As a result,
the Partnership's recognized losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998
did not include losses of $340,239 compared to excluded losses of $339,817 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997.
No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken
place during this period.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

Year 2000 Computer Issue
------------------------
The Year 2000 ("Y2K") Computer Issue refers to the inability of many
computer systems in use today to recognize "00" in the date field as the year
2000 and to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year. The Y2K problem arose
because, for many years, computer software programs, including programs embedded
in hardware, utilized only the last two digits to specify the year with the
assumption that the first two digits were "19." As a result, such programs may
not be able to recognize and process dates beyond 1999; rather they may
recognize and process "00," "01," "02,", etc., incorrectly as 1900, 1901, 1902,
instead of as 2000, 2001, 2002. In the opinion of computer experts, this could
cause such programs to create erroneous results, malfunction, or fail completely
unless corrective measures are taken.
The Partnership utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that will be affected by the Y2K issue. The
Managing General Partner is studying what actions will be necessary to make its
computer systems Year 2000 compliant; certain upgrades are already scheduled.
The expense associated with these actions cannot presently be determined, but
the Managing General Partner does not expect it to be material.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
-------------------------------
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to Holiday
Village Apartments on July 27, 1994 when the note matured and was not paid. The
defaulted amount included principal and accrued interest of $1,370,000 and
$2,862,342, respectively. As of May 7, 1998, principal and accrued interest
totaling $1,370,000 and $5,079,837, respectively, were due. The Managing
General Partner and the noteholder continue to negotiate settlement options, and
as of May 7, 1998, negotiations between the Managing General Partner and the
noteholder were ongoing. There is no assurance that an agreement will be
reached. Should the noteholder begin foreclosure proceedings on the
Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership, the Partnership intends
to vigorously defend any action by the noteholder. However, there is no
assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the Local
Partnership. The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's
interest in the related Local Partnership does not impact the Partnership's
financial condition, as discussed above.
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to Redden
Development Company (Redden Gardens) on August 31, 1997 when the notes matured
and were not paid. The defaulted amount included principal and accrued interest
of $1,330,000 and $2,783,593, respectively. As of May 7, 1998, principal and
accrued interest of $1,330,000 and $3,030,733, respectively, were due. In
accordance with the security agreement related to the purchase money notes, the
Partnership submitted a plan of action to cure the default. The Managing
General Partner proposed a five year extension on the purchase money notes.
This offer was rejected by the purchase money noteholders. On February 12,
1998, at the request of the purchase money noteholders, a subsequent proposal to
extend the purchase money notes for five years was forwarded to the purchase
money noteholders. As of May 7, 1998, the purchase money noteholders had not
responded to this proposal. The Managing General Partner commissioned a rental
market study and is evaluating the feasibility of converting the property to
market-rate. No conclusion has been reached as of May 7, 1998. There is no
assurance that the property will be converted nor is there any assurance that an
agreement will be reached with the purchase money noteholders. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its
interest in the Local Partnership. The uncertainty about the continued
ownership of the Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership does
not impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.
