              (A New York Limited Partnership)

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          Unaudited
                              
1.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with generally accepted

accounting principles for interim financial information.

They do not include all information and notes required by

generally accepted accounting principles for complete

financial statements.  There has been no material change in

the information disclosed in the notes to financial

statements of the Partnership included in the Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The

information furnished includes all adjustments which are, in

the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the

financial position of the Partnership as of September 30,

1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the

periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Results of

operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 are not

necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected

for the entire fiscal year.

2.  Current Operations

    As of September 30, 1995, all twenty-seven films in

which the Partnership has an interest have been released.

All of these films have completed their theatrical release

and are being distributed in various ancillary markets.

    Based on the anticipated performance of one film

released through the Tri-Star Joint Venture, it is expected

that the Distributor of the Tri-Star Joint Venture will be

required to make an Additional Payment with the respect to

this film.  Accordingly, distribution fees earned and

expected to be earned by the Distributor of the Tri-Star

Joint Venture as of September 30, 1995 of approximately

$392,000 has been accrued by the Partnership as a receivable

from the Tri-Star Joint Venture.

    For the purpose of computing the net profit (loss) per

unit, the net profit (loss) for the period is allocated  99%

to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner.

3.  Additional Information

    Additional information, including the audited year end

1994 Financial Statements and the Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies, is included in the Partnership's Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 on

file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

and short-term investments of approximately $1,688,000.

    Since the Partnership's obligations to make

contributions to the Joint Ventures for the production of,

and acquisition of interests in, films have been satisfied,

all revenue received by the Partnership (other than with

respect to Unrecouped Films) is used to pay operating

expenses of the Partnership and to make cash distributions

to partners.

    The Partnership commenced cash distributions to its

partners in April 1987.  Distributions through September 30,

1995 have aggregated $3,735 per unit (74.7% of the limited

partners' original investment in the Partnership).

b.  Results of Operations

    The Partnership's operating results are primarily

dependent upon the operating results of the Joint Ventures'

and are significantly impacted by the Joint Ventures'

policies.

    The performance of each film is based upon the amount

expended for production and other costs associated with a

film and the revenue generated by a film.  The amount and

timing of revenues generated by each film is dependent upon

the degree of acceptance by the consumer public and the

particular ancillary market in which the film is then being

exhibited.

    Amounts contributed toward each film are compared

periodically to the expected total revenue to be generated

for that film, and write-downs may occur to the extent the

amounts invested exceed the expected total revenue for that

film.

    Additionally, each Joint Venture has recorded income

with respect to Additional Payments, to the extent

available, which has allowed it to recover its investment in

films.

    For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the

Columbia Joint Venture had

a net profit of which the Partnership's share was

approximately $78,000, due primarily to the profitable

results of certain films.  The Tri-Star Joint Venture had a

net loss; however, the Partnership reported a net profit

from that Joint Venture of approximately $2,000 due

primarily to the profitable results of certain films.  In

addition, the Partnership earned approximately $23,000 of

interest income from its short-term investments and incurred

approximately $103,000 of  expenses from its operations,

resulting in an overall net profit to the Partnership of

approximately $0.

    For the three months ended September 30, 1994, the

Columbia Joint Venture had a net loss of which the

Partnership's share was approximately $63,000, due primarily

to the unprofitable results of certain films.  The Tri-Star

Joint Venture had a net loss; however, the Partnership

reported a net profit from that Joint Venture of

approximately $10,000 due primarily to the profitable

results of certain films.  In addition, the Partnership

earned approximately $19,000 of interest income from its

short-term investments and incurred approximately $101,000

of expenses from its operations, resulting in an overall net

loss to the Partnership of approximately $135,000.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the

Columbia Joint Venture had a net profit of which the

Partnership's share  was approximately $245,000, due

primarily to the profitable results of certain films.  The

Tri-Star Joint Venture had a net loss; however, the

Partnership reported a net profit from that Joint Venture of

approximately $54,000 due primarily to the profitable

results of certain films.  In addition, the Partnership

earned approximately $66,000 of interest income from its

short-term investments and incurred approximately $310,000

of expenses from its operations, resulting in an overall net

profit to the Partnership of approximately $55,000.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the

Columbia Joint Venture had a net loss; however, the

Partnership reported a net profit from that Joint Venture of

approximately $37,000, due primarily to the profitable

results of certain films.  The Tri-Star Joint Venture had a

net loss; however, the Partnership reported a net profit

from that Joint Venture of approximately $230,000, due

primarily to interest income related to the accrual of

Additional Payments and the profitable results of one film.

In addition, the Partnership earned approximately $97,000 of

interest income from its short-term investments and incurred

approximately $316,000 of expenses from its operations,

resulting in an overall net profit to the Partnership of

approximately $48,000.

    Interest income for the three month period ended

September 30, 1995 as compared with the corresponding period

in 1994 was virtually unchanged.

    The decrease in interest income for the nine month

period ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the

corresponding period in 1994 is due primarily to the

availability of less funds for short-term investments during

1995.

     The Partnership's total expenses for the three month

period ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the

corresponding period in 1994 was virtually unchanged.

     The decrease in the Partnership's total expenses  for

the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared

with the corresponding period in 1994 is primarily

attributable to a decrease in Operating Expenses.  The

decrease in Operating Expenses is primarily due to a

decrease in professional fees related to the performance of

fewer production and distribution audits during 1995.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          Unaudited
                              
1.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with generally accepted

accounting principles for interim financial information.

They do not include all information and notes required by

generally accepted accounting principles for complete

financial statements.  There has been no material change in

the information disclosed in the notes to financial

statements of the Joint Venture included in the Annual

Report on Form 10-K of Delphi Film Associates IV (the

"Partnership") for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The

information furnished includes all adjustments which are, in

the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the

financial position of the Joint Venture as of September 30,

1995 and the results of its operations and cash flows for

the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Results of

operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 are not

necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected

for the entire fiscal year.

2.  Current Operations

    All twelve films in which the Joint Venture has an

interest have completed their theatrical release and are

being distributed in various ancillary markets.  For the

three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, the

Joint Venture is reporting net revenue of $1,178,000 and

$3,660,000, respectively, due primarily to the performance

of certain films in the worldwide free television, home

video and pay television markets.  For the nine month period

ended September 30, 1995, the Joint Venture recorded an

increase of $235,000 in the accrued Additional Payment due

to changes in the estimated distribution fee to be earned by

its Distributor.  For the three and nine month periods ended

September 30, 1995, the Joint Venture recorded an Other

Expense of $57,000 relating to the write down of the

Receivable from Columbia Pictures (Distributor) due to two

films which were fully recouped for both Columbia and Delphi

as of the Additional Payment date.

    For the three and nine month periods ended September

30, 1994, the Joint Venture reported a net loss from motion

picture exploitation of $1,305,000 and $75,000,

respectively, due primarily to the decline in the

performance of one film in the home video market.

Accordingly, for the three month period ended September 30,

1994 the Joint Venture recorded a recapture of amortization

of $119,000.  For the nine month period ended September 30,

1994, the Joint Venture recorded a decrease of $37,000 in

the accrued Additional Payment due to changes in the

estimated distribution fee to be earned by the Distributor.

3.  Additional Information

    Additional information, including the audited year end

1994 Financial Statements and the Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies, is included in the Annual Report on

Form 10-K of the Partnership for the year ended December 31,

1994.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          Unaudited
                              
1.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with generally accepted

accounting principles for interim financial information.

They do not include all information and notes required by

generally accepted accounting principles for complete

financial statements.  There has been no material change in

the information disclosed in the notes to financial

statements of the Joint Venture included in the Annual

Report on Form 10-K of Delphi Film Associates IV (the

"Partnership") for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The

information furnished includes all adjustments which are, in

the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the

financial position of the Joint Venture as of September 30,

1995 and the results of its operations and cash flows for

the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Results of

operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 are not

necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected

for the entire fiscal year.

2.  Current Operations

    All fifteen films in which the Joint Venture has an

interest have completed their theatrical release and are

being distributed in various ancillary markets.  For the

three



and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, the Joint

Venture is reporting net revenue of $132,000 and  $664,000,

respectively, due primarily to the performance of its films

in the worldwide free television and international

theatrical markets.  For the nine month period ended

September 30, 1995, the Joint Venture has recorded an

increase in the Additional Payment accrual of $23,000 due to

an increase in the estimated distribution fee to be earned

by the Distributor.  For the three and nine month periods

ended September 30, 1995, the Joint Venture recorded an

Other Expense of $824,000 relating to the write down of the

Receivable from TriStar Pictures, Inc. (Distributor) due to

four films which were fully recouped for both TriStar and

Delphi as of the Additional Payment date.

    For the three and nine month periods ended September

30, 1994, the Joint Venture reported net revenue of $61,000

and $1,336,000, respectively, due primarily to the

performance of  films in the home video and worldwide free

television markets.  For the three and nine month periods

ended September 30, 1994, the Joint Venture recorded a

decrease in the Additional Payment accrual of $1,515,000 and

$2,525,000, respectively due to a decrease in the estimated

distribution fee to be earned by the Distributor.  In

addition, for the nine month period ended September 30,

1994, the Joint Venture recorded interest income of $571,000

due to the decrease in the discount period relating to the

Additional Payment.  The Joint Venture received

approximately $23,200,000 in February 1994 representing the

Joint Venture's Additional Payment net of the $200,000

advance previously received by the Joint Venture from the

Distributor.

3.  Additional Information

    Additional information, including the audited year end

1994 Financial Statements and the Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies, is included in the Annual Report on

Form 10-K of the Partnership for the year ended December 31,

1994.
