1. Basis of Condensed Financial Statement Preparation
   --------------------------------------------------

   In  the  opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited
   condensed  financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
   principally  of  normal, recurring accruals) necessary  to  present
   fairly  the  financial  position of Leastec  Income  Fund  IV  (the
   Partnership)  as  of  September 30, 1995, September  30,  1994  and
   December 31, 1994.
  

   As   provided  for  in  the  Partnership  agreement  and   offering
   document,  the  Partnership  engaged in  leasing  activities  which
   intended  to  be completed in approximately eleven years  from  its
   inception at which time all remaining partnership assets will  have
   been  liquidated and cash proceeds distributed to the  registrant's
   partners.   The  Partnership  has  presented  its  1995   financial
   statements  to reflect its leasing activities on a basis consistent
   with prior periods.

2. Wind Down Phase
   ---------------

   The  Registrant has ceased acquisition of new capital equipment and
   is  in  the  process  of  liquidating its lease  portfolio.  It  is
   intended  that the Registrant will be fully liquidated at  the  end
   of its eleventh full year of operation, December 1996.

                A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                                
        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operation
- --------------------

   The  Registrant  has been winding down operations  since  1993  by
discontinuing  new  leasing activities and returning  cash  available
from   operations  to  the  Registrant's  Partners.    Although   the
Registrant  has  until  December 1997 to  liquidate  operations,  the
Registrant intends to be fully liquidated by December 1996.  In order
to  complete the liquidation of all assets by the end of 1996, it  is
the General Partner's policy to allow the early termination of leases
when  requested as well as to seek the sale of leased assets in which
the  lease may extend beyond December 1996. The General Partner  does
not  anticipate that the cash proceeds from liquidation  will  return
100% of the investors original capital contribution.

   The majority of the Registrant's operating leases have terminated.
The  remaining  leases were fully depreciated in the  first  half  of
1995.   As  operating leases terminate, the equipment is  sold.   The
remaining  balance  of  the lease portfolio  is  invested  in  Direct
Finance  leases  which  terminate  with  the  lessee's  contractually
required  purchase  of equipment.  The income  and  expenses  of  the
Registrant  are  steadily  declining  as  the  lease  portfolio  size
declines.   The  cash balances and related interest income  fluctuate
according to the cash flow from rents and equipment and finance lease
sales  during  each  quarter.  Cash is distributed  to  the  Partners
according to their respective tax basis capital accounts.

  The  Registrant  reported a net income of  $882,844  or  $8.23  per
Limited  Partnership  Unit for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1995,  as  compared  to net income of $481,596 or $4.49  per  Limited
Partnership Unit for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

  Total  revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,  were
$1,319,858 compared $1,369,656 for the same period in the prior year.
This slight decrease is primarily due to the significant increase  in
other  income  from $11,727 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1994,  to $641,486 for the same period in 1995. The majority  of  the
increase, or $591,829, for the nine months ended September 30,  1995,
was  caused by early termination fees on a direct finance lease  with
Paradigm  Technology.   Revenue derived  from  the  Fund's  equipment
management  activities  comprised 99% of the  total  income  for  the
period, with the remaining 1% being interest income. Direct financing
lease  income  decreased  from September 30, 1994, to  September  30,
1995,  ($523,498  to $336,386 respectively). The  net  investment  in
direct  financing leases decreased from $4,391,489 at  September  30,
1994, to $1,453,233 at September 30, 1995.

  Interest  income  increased because the  Registrant  held  slightly
higher  cash  balances due to equipment and lease  sales  during  the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior
year.  All available cash is being paid out in distributions  to  the
Fund's partners on a quarterly basis.

   Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,  were
$437,014 compared to $888,060 for the same period in the prior  year.
Depreciation,   management   fees,   interest,   and   general    and
administrative  costs comprised 94% of the total expenses.   Interest
expense  decreased  from September 30, 1994 to  September  30,  1995,
($98,616  to  $30,192  respectively). The note  payable  balance  was
$548,591 as of September 30, 1994, compared to a note payable balance
of $0 as of September 30, 1995.

      The equipment on operating leases was fully depreciated at  the
end  of 1994 giving a balance net of accumulated depreciation of $-0-
for both December 31, 1994, and September 30, 1995.

      The  gain  on  sale  of  equipment for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995, was $54,313 as compared to $92,071 for  the  same
period   in  1994.   As  the  Registrant  draws  nearer  to  complete
liquidation more leases and underlying equipment will be sold causing
fluctuations between periods in the gain on sale of equipment.

      General  and administrative costs remained relatively unchanged
decreasing slightly from $174,706 for the first nine months  of  1994
to $151,168 for the same period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

  Cash  provided  by operating activities for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1995, was $563,420 compared to $861,393 for  the  same
period in the prior year.
  
  Cash  provided  by investing activities increased  from  $1,866,216
for  the nine months ended September 30, 1994, to $2,312,471 for  the
same   period   in   1995,  reflecting  primarily  the   inter-period
fluctuations in equipment sales and the aging of rental receipts from
the direct finance lease portfolio.
  
  As  rental  payments on finance leases are received,  the  cash  is
broken  up  into income and return of principal.  As a finance  lease
ages  the  income  portion of the rental receipts  decrease  and  the
return of principal portion increases.
  
  Sales  proceeds  of equipment for the nine months  ended  September
30,  1994, totaled approximately $259,852 resulting in a $92,071 gain
after depreciation expense was taken compared to $51,445 resulting in
a gain of $54,313 for the same period this year.

  Cash  provided  by investing activities was used to repay  $305,610
of debt during the nine months ended September 30,1995 as compared to
$1,027,482 for the same period in the prior year.

  As  of September 30, 1995, the Fund's partners were allocated  cash
distributions of $657,900 payable on October 13, 1995.  The  size  of
investor  distributions depend on the timing of equipment  sales  and
collections  of  rents.  As a result of the decreasing  portfolio  of
leases, this amount can be expected to gradually decrease during 1995
and  1996  and  to  be  variable in amount from  quarter  to  quarter
depending on the timing of equipment sales.

   The cash balance increased from $576,596 at December 31, 1993,  to
$660,347 at September 30, 1994, to $928,298 at December 31,  1994  to
$998,579 at September 30, 1995.

  The  cash  position  as of September 30, 1995, was  $998,579.   The
General  Partner  anticipates  that funds  from  operations  will  be
adequate  to  cover all operating expenses and future  needs  of  the
Partnership during 1995.
