Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Partnership's 2002 Form 10-K. For further information, refer to the financial statements of Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P. (the "Partnership"), and the related notes, included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership is in its liquidation period, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Even so, because the liquidation period extends over an undefined number of accounting periods, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 6 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 2. Transactions With the General Partner and Affiliates ---------------------------------------------------- Management Fees Paid to General Partner In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner earns a management fee in connection with its management of the equipment, calculated as a percentage of the monthly gross rentals received, and paid monthly in arrears. Management fees of approximately $19,000 and $28,000 are included in payables to affiliates at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Direct Services from General Partner The General Partner and an affiliate provide accounting, investor relations, billing, collecting, asset management, and other administrative services to the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the General Partner for these services performed on its behalf as permitted under terms of the Partnership Agreement. Direct services from the General Partner of approximately $24,000 and $30,000 are included in payables to affiliates at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. General and Administrative Expenses The General Partner and an affiliate pay the allocated actual cost of administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the General Partner for these expenses as permitted under terms of the Partnership Agreement. General and administrative costs of approximately $85,000 and $151,000 are included in payables to affiliates at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. 7 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations --------------------- Presented below are schedules (prepared solely to facilitate the discussion of results of operations that follows) showing items of income and expense and changes in those items derived from the Statements of Income:

The Partnership entered its liquidation period during 2002, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and will not purchase equipment in future periods. Furthermore, during future periods, initial leases will expire and the equipment will be remarketed (i.e., re-leased or sold). As a result, both the size of the Partnership's leasing portfolio and the amount of total revenue will decline ("portfolio runoff"). Even so, because the liquidation period extends over an undefined number of accounting periods, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Leasing Margin Leasing margin consists of the following:

8 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Results of Operations, continued --------------------- Leasing Margin, continued Operating lease rentals, direct finance lease income and depreciation decreased primarily due to portfolio runoff. The average balances of the Partnership's operating lease and direct finance lease portfolios were approximately $31,800,000 and $7,200,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to approximately $34,900,000 and $7,900,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Currently, as portfolio runoff progresses, operating lease rentals, direct finance lease income and depreciation will decrease. Interest expense on discounted lease rentals decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2003 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of discounted lease rentals outstanding. Discounted lease rentals outstanding averaged approximately $21,600,000 and $26,000,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As portfolio runoff progresses, interest expense on discounted lease rentals will decrease. Interest expense on discounted lease rentals increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of discounted lease rentals outstanding. Discounted lease rentals outstanding averaged approximately $24,400,000 and $23,900,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Leasing margin ratio will vary due to changes in the portfolio, including, among other things, the mix of operating leases versus direct finance leases, the average maturity of leases comprising the portfolio, the average residual value of leased assets in the portfolio, and the amount of discounted lease rentals financing the portfolio. Leasing margin ratio for a direct finance lease is fixed over the term of the lease. Leasing margin ratio for an operating lease financed with discounted lease rentals increases during the term of the lease since rents and depreciation are typically fixed while interest expense declines as the related discounted lease rentals principle is repaid. Leasing margin ratio was lower during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 primarily as a result of the increase in the average balance of discounted lease rentals outstanding and associated operating lease revenue and depreciation, as discussed above. The ultimate profitability of the Partnership's leasing transactions is dependent in part on interest rates at the time the leases are originated, future equipment values, and on-going lessee creditworthiness. Because leasing is an alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend to rise and fall with interest rates (although lease rate movements generally lag interest rate changes in the capital markets). 9 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Results of Operations, continued --------------------- Equipment Sales Margin Equipment sales margin consists of the following:

Equipment sales margin fluctuates based on the composition of equipment available for sale. Currently, the Partnership is in its liquidation period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Initial leases are expiring and the equipment is either being re-leased or sold to the lessee or a third party. Equipment sales margin varies with the number and dollar amount of equipment leases that mature in a particular period and the current market for specific equipment and residual value estimates. Interest Income Interest income varies due to (1) the amount of cash available for investment (pending distribution to partners or investment in equipment purchases) and (2) the interest rate on such invested cash. Expenses Management fees paid to the General Partner are earned on gross rents received and will fluctuate due to variances in cash flow and the size of the Partnership's portfolio. Management fees paid to the General Partner decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to portfolio run-off. Direct services from General Partner decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily because the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 included increased costs related to the General Partner's efforts to collect receivables owed to the Partnership. General and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily due to a) increased insurance costs of approximately $40,000, and b) upgrades to computer equipment of approximately $57,000 needed to effectively and efficiently manage the Partnership's assets. General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002 primarily due to increased equipment storage costs of approximately $13,000. 10 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Results of Operations, continued --------------------- Provision for Losses Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee, including, for example, the likelihood that the lessee will re-lease or purchase the equipment. The nature of the Partnership's leasing activities is such that it has credit exposure and residual value exposure and will incur losses from those exposures in the ordinary course of business. The Partnership performs quarterly assessments of the estimated residual value of its assets to identify any other-than-temporary losses in value that, if any, are also recorded as provision for losses. The realization of greater than the carrying value of equipment (which occurs when the equipment is remarketed subsequent to initial lease termination) is reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin (if the equipment is re-leased). Losses related to credit exposure, if any, and residual value exposure, if any, are recorded as provision for losses. Residual value exposure includes equipment returned to the Partnership subsequent to initial lease termination and equipment sold to the lessee subsequent to initial lease termination. Additionally, residual value exposure includes assets currently under lease. The Partnership performs quarterly assessments of the estimated net realizable value (NRV assessments) of its assets under lease to identify any other-than-temporary losses in value that, if any, are also recorded as provision for losses. The provision for losses of $257,000 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 related primarily to losses of approximately $97,000 related to equipment returned to the Partnership subsequent to initial lease termination, approximately $139,000 related to equipment sold to the lessee subsequent to initial lease termination and approximately $221,000 related to NRV assessments; offset by reversal of $200,000 of provision for losses. The General Partner reviewed the accounts receivable balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and determined that the accounts receivable allowance was greater than the amount required because of the General Partner's efforts to collect receivables owed to the Partnership. 11 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Liquidity & Capital Resources ----------------------------- The Partnership is in its liquidation period, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership is not purchasing additional equipment and initial leases are expiring with the equipment being remarketed (i.e., re-leased, renewed, or sold). As a result, the size of the Partnership's lease portfolio is decreasing, which results in a corresponding decrease in leasing revenue. Even so, because the liquidation period extends over an undefined number of accounting periods, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents and sales of off-lease equipment. Available cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are invested in short-term government securities (considered cash equivalents) pending distribution to partners. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Partnership declared distributions to the Class A limited partners of $5,075,380 ($475,775 of which was paid during October 2003). All such distributions are expected to constitute a return of capital for economic purposes. Distributions may be characterized for tax, accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital, or a portion of both. The portion of each cash distribution that exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of the partnership's return on capital over its life will only be determined after all residual cash flows (which include proceeds from the re-leasing and sale of equipment) have been realized at the termination of the partnership. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will generate sufficient cash flows from operations during the remainder of 2003, to meet current operating requirements and fund cash distributions to partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. All distributions are expected to be a return of capital for economic and accounting purposes. Additionally, the General Partner anticipates that all equipment owned by the Partnership will be sold and the Partnership liquidated during 2005 or 2006. 12 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued "Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 ---- The statements contained in this report which are not historical facts may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements with respect to events, the occurrence of which involve risks and uncertainties, and are subject to factors that could cause actual future results to differ both adversely and materially from currently anticipated results, including, without limitation, the level of lease originations, realization of residual values, the availability and cost of financing sources and the ultimate outcome of any contract disputes. Certain specific risks associated with particular aspects of the Partnership's business are discussed under Results of Operations in this report and under Results of Operations in the 2002 Form 10-K when and where applicable. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Partnership's leases with equipment users are non-cancelable and have lease rates that are fixed at lease inception. The Partnership finances its leases, in part, with discounted lease rentals. Discounted lease rentals are a fixed rate debt. The Partnership's other assets and liabilities are also at fixed rates. Consequently, the Partnership has no interest rate risk or other market risk exposure. Item 4. Controls and Procedures The Partnership carried out an evaluation as of September 30, 2003, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner's management, including the President and Director, and the Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Director, and the Chief Accounting Officer, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no changes in the Partnership's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. 13 CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-IV, L.P. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Partnership is involved in routine legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The General Partner believes none of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Partnership. Item 6.
