POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND IV,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Principles and Policies
In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary to
summarize fairly Polaris Aircraft Income Fund IV's (the Partnership's) financial
position and results of operations. The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions of the Quarterly Report to the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and
1995 included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K
(Form 10-K).
2. Related Parties
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid or agreed to pay
the following amounts for the current quarter to the general partner, Polaris
Investment Management Corporation, in connection with services rendered or
payments made on behalf of the Partnership:
Payments for
Three Months Ended Payable at
June 30, 1998 June 30, 1998
------------- -------------
Out-of-Pocket Administrative and Selling
Expense Reimbursement $125,893 $152,970
Out-of-Pocket Operating and
Remarketing Expense Reimbursement 29,336 4,137
-------- --------
$155,229 $157,107
======== ========
3. Partners' Capital
The Partnership Agreement (the Agreement) stipulates different methods by which
revenue, income and loss from operations and gain or loss on the sale of
aircraft are to be allocated to the general partner and the limited partners.
Such allocations are made using income or loss calculated under GAAP for book
purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes.
Cash available for distributions, including the proceeds from the sale of
aircraft, is distributed 10% to the general partner and 90% to the limited
partners.
The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book
and tax purposes result in book basis capital accounts that may vary
significantly from tax basis capital accounts. The ultimate liquidation and
distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
As discussed below under "Liquidity and Cash Distributions," Polaris Investment
Management Corporation (PIMC, or the General Partner), is in the process of
winding up the business of Polaris Aircraft Income Fund IV (the Partnership).
During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining portfolio of 13 used commercial
jet aircraft out of its original portfolio of 33 aircraft.
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded a net loss of $105,006, or $0.26 per limited
partnership unit, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net
income of $372,140, or $0.24 per limited partnership unit, for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The Partnership recorded a net loss of $54,195, or $0.62
per limited partnership unit for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to
net income of $1,269,936, or $1.52 per limited partnership unit, for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.
The decline in operating results during the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997, was primarily due to the sale of
the Partnership's remaining aircraft in 1997.
Interest income decreased during the three months and six months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997, primarily due to a decrease in
the cash reserves in 1998. The decrease in the cash reserves resulted from cash
distributions, as discussed in the liquidity section. Another factor
contributing to the decrease in interest income was the absence of interest
income on the deferred rent payments due from Continental that ended when the
final payment was made in 1997.
Operating expenses increased during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to the same period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in legal
expenses related to the sale of the remaining aircraft.
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity - As previously discussed, the Partnership sold its remaining aircraft
during 1997. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has
determined that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to
ensure that the Partnership has available sufficient funds to satisfy
anticipated contingencies and expenses in connection with winding up its
business. The Partnership's cash reserves will be monitored and may be revised
from time to time as further information becomes available in the future.
Cash Distributions - There were no cash distributions to limited partners during
the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $2,499,820, or $5.00 per
limited partnership unit, during the three months ended June 30, 1997. Cash
distributions to limited partners during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 were $28,807,349, or $57.62 per limited partnership unit, and $4,999,640,
or $10.00 per limited partnership unit, respectively. The increase, as compared
to 1997, is due to the distribution of the proceeds received from the prepayment
of a note due from Triton Aviation Services IV LLC on December 30, 1997. The
Partnership is now in the process of winding up its business. With the exception
of reserves maintained for anticipated expenses and costs of winding up, the
Partnership distributed all of its available cash during 1997 and the first
quarter of 1998. Consequently, the timing and amount of future cash
distributions, if any, are not yet known and will depend upon whether the
Partnership's reserves exceed its actual expenses and contingencies in winding
up and on the time required to complete the winding up process.
