                 DELPHI  FILM ASSOCIATES IV
              (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, 1995.

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, 1996 and the results of operations and cash

flows for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and

1995.  Results of

operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the

results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.  Current Operations

    As of September 30, 1996, 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 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, 1996 of

approximately $392,000 have been accrued by the

Partnership as a receivable from the Tri-Star Joint

Venture.

   For the purpose of computing the net profit per unit,

the net profit for the periods are allocated  99% to the

limited partners and 1% to the General Partner.

3.  Additional Information

    Additional information, including the audited year end

1995 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,

1995 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE>
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

a.  Financial Condition

    The Partnership has satisfied its commitment to

contribute funds to the Joint Ventures for the production

of, and acquisition of interests in, films.  As of

September 30, 1996, the Partnership held cash of

approximately $159,000 and short-term investments of

approximately

$894,000.

    The Partnership is in the process of evaluating the

value of its interest in the film assets for the purpose

of possibly selling that interest and eventually

liquidating the Partnership.  The General Partner

anticipates that the Partnership may be liquidated by late

1996, or early 1997. No assurance can be provided that the

film assets will be successfully sold, or if sold, when

such sale would occur. Upon the ultimate sale of the film

assets, the Partnership will commence taking steps to

dissolve and liquidate.  Since the Partnership's

obligation to make contributions to the Joint Ventures for

the production of, and acquisition of interests in, films

has been satisfied, all revenue received by the

Partnership (other than with respect to Unrecouped Films)

is used to establish a reserve for operating expenses of

the Partnership and, to the extent possible, to make cash

distributions to partners.  The Partnership does not

anticipate significant future revenues and accordingly,

the Partnership does not currently anticipate making cash

distributions to partners on a quarterly basis.  However,

the Partnership may make future distributions if it

realizes proceeds from its interest in films or from the

sale of its interest in films (should the sale occur) net

of a reserve for the Partnership's operating expenses.

    The Partnership commenced cash distributions to its

partners in April 1987.  Distributions through September

30, 1996 have aggregated $3,845 per unit (76.9% 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, 1996, the

Columbia Joint Venture had

a net profit of which the Partnership's share was

approximately $132,000, due primarily to the profitable

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

a net profit of which the Partnership's share was

approximately $10,000 due primarily to the profitable

results of one film.  In addition, the Partnership earned

approximately $16,000 of interest income from its short-

term investments and incurred approximately $91,000 of

expenses from its operations, resulting in an overall net

profit to the Partnership of approximately $67,000.

    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 no overall

net profit or loss to the Partnership.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the

Columbia Joint Venture had a net profit of which the

Partnership's share was approximately $332,000, due

primarily to the profitable results of certain films.  The

Tri-Star Joint Venture had a net profit of which the

Partnership's share was approximately $68,000 due

primarily to the profitable results of certain films.  In

addition, the Partnership earned approximately $50,000 of

interest income from its short-term investments and

incurred approximately $246,000 of expenses from its

operations, resulting in an overall net profit to the

Partnership of approximately $204,000.

     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.

   The decrease in interest income for the three and nine

month periods ended September 30, 1996 as compared with

the

corresponding periods in 1995 was primarily due to less

funds available for short-term investments as well as

lower interest rates earned on short-term investments

during 1996.

     The decrease in the Partnership's total expenses  for

the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
as compared with the corresponding periods in 1995 is
primarily attributable to the Management Fee incurred in
1995 but not in 1996 due to the expiration of the
Management Fee arrangement at the end of 1995 offset, in
part, by an increase in Operating Expenses.  The increase
in Operating Expenses is primarily due to the
reimbursement to the General Partner for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with its management of the
Partnership's business in lieu of the Management Fee paid
to the General Partner prior to 1996.
