Item 1. Business
--------

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on December 18, 1995 and is engaged in the
business of owning and leasing equipment. CAI Equipment Leasing V Corp., a
Colorado corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Associates, Inc.
("CAI"), is the general partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership commenced business operations on April 16, 1996. Through
December 31, 1997, the Partnership had sold approximately 460,000 Class A
limited partner units and on February 9, 1998 achieved the planned maximum
placement of 500,000 Class A limited partner units. During 1998, the Partnership
will enter its reinvestment period as defined in the Partnership Agreement. A
summary of the Partnership's offering activities is presented below:

======== ====== ============ =========== ============



Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), an affiliate of the general
partner, is the sole Class B limited partner of the Partnership. In exchange for
its Class B limited partner interest, CAII is required to contribute cash of
$10,000 for each $1,000,000 of investors' capital contribution (i.e., cash
investments in the Partnership) to the Partnership. In addition, CAII's interest
in Distributable Cash is subordinated to the Class A limited partners' interest.
The contributions of CAII are made simultaneously with the purchase of equipment
by the Partnership. Through December 31, 1997, CAII had contributed $460,000 to
the Partnership.

The Partnership's overall investment objectives are to (i) raise the maximum
allowable capital from investors for investment in accordance with the
Partnership's investment objectives described in the Prospectus (which was
reached on February 9, 1998); (ii) invest such capital and related indebtedness
in a diversified portfolio of equipment subject to leases with terms ranging
from two to seven years; (iii) if funds are available for distribution, make
monthly cash distributions to the Class A and Class B limited partners during
the reinvestment period (a period that ends approximately June 30, 2003); (iv)
re-invest all available undistributed cash from operations and cash from sales
in additional equipment during the reinvestment period to increase the
Partnership's portfolio of revenue-generating equipment provided suitable
equipment can be identified and acquired; and (v) sell or otherwise dispose of
the Partnership's equipment and other assets in an orderly manner and promptly
distribute cash from sales thereof to the Partners within three years of the end
of the reinvestment period.

During 1997, the Partnership acquired capital of various types under lease to
third parties. All of the capital was purchased by CAII directly from
manufacturers or from other independent third parties and sold to the
Partnership. The capital is generally comprised of, transportation and
industrial equipment, office furniture and equipment and computer and peripheral
equipment, among others (the "equipment"). See Item 13 of this report,

-2-





Item 1. Business, continued
--------

"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for the detail listing of
equipment purchased during 1997. The Partnership expects that a majority of the
equipment purchased during 1998 will be similar in nature to the equipment
acquired in 1997. As of December 31, 1997, the general partner has identified
approximately $3.6 million of additional equipment that satisfied the
Partnership's acquisition criteria that is expected to be acquired during the
first quarter 1998.

The Partnership may assign the rentals from leases to financial institutions, or
acquire leases subject to such assignments, at fixed interest rates on a
nonrecourse basis. This non-recourse debt financing, also referred to as
discounted lease rentals, will be utilized to finance the purchase of equipment
under lease, or to invest the proceeds therefrom in additional equipment under
lease. In the event of default by a lessee, the financial institution has a
first lien on the underlying leased equipment with no further recourse against
the Partnership. Cash proceeds from such financings, or the assumption of such
assignments incurred in the acquisition of leases are recorded on the balance
sheet as discounted lease rentals. As lessees make payments to financial
institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

During 1997, the Partnership leased equipment to investment grade lessees in
diverse industries including the material handling, telecommunications and
manufacturing industries. Approximately 79% of the Partnership's equipment under
lease was leased to investment grade lessees as of December 31, 1997. Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, an investment grade lessee is a company (i) with a
net worth in excess of $100,000,000 (and no debt issues that are rated); or (ii)
with a credit rating of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's Investor
Services, Inc. or comparable credit rating, as determined by another recognized
credit rating service; or (iii) a lessee, all of whose lease payments have been
unconditionally guaranteed or supported by a letter of credit issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements. The Partnership limits its credit
risk through selective use of non-recourse debt financing of future lease
rentals, as described above.

The Partnership only acquires equipment that is on lease at the time of
acquisition. After the initial term of its lease, each item of equipment will be
expected to provide additional investment income from its re-lease or sale. Upon
expiration of the initial lease, the Partnership attempts to re-lease or sell
the equipment to the existing lessee. If a re-lease or sale to the lessee cannot
be negotiated, the Partnership will attempt to lease or sell the equipment to a
third party.

The Partnership's business is not subject to seasonal variations.

The ultimate rate of return of the Partnership's leasing transactions is
dependent, in part, on the general level of interest rates at the time the
leases are originated, as well as 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). The amount of future distributions to the partners will
depend, in part, on future interest rates.

The Partnership has no employees. The officers, directors and employees of the
general partner and its affiliates perform services on behalf of the
Partnership. The general partner is entitled to receive certain fees and expense
reimbursements in connection with the performance of these services. See Item 10
of this Report, "Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership" and Item
13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," which are
incorporated herein by reference.

-3-





Item 1. Business, continued
--------

The Partnership competes in the leasing marketplace as a lessor with a
significant number of other companies, including equipment manufacturers,
leasing companies and financial institutions. The Partnership competes mainly on
the basis of the expertise of its general partner in remarketing equipment,
terms offered in its transactions, pricing and service. Although the Partnership
does not account for a significant percentage of the leasing market, the general
partner believes that the Partnership's marketing strategies and financing
capabilities enable it to compete effectively in the equipment leasing and
remarketing markets.

The Partnership leases equipment to a significant number of lessees. However,
rental revenue from one lessee accounted for approximately 12% ($1,386,538) of
total revenue of the Partnership during 1997. Rental revenue from this lessee
constituted a larger percentage of the Partnership's total revenue than it is
expected to be in the future, as additional leases are acquired by the
Partnership.

The Partnership is required to dissolve and distribute all of its assets no
later than December 31, 2007. However, the general partner anticipates that all
equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be liquidated prior to that
date.


Item 2. Properties
----------

Per the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership does not own or lease any
physical properties other than the equipment discussed in Item 1 "Business," of
this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------

Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's equipment is the subject of
any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
---------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership,
through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 1997.


Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Matters
-------

(a) The Partnership's Class A limited partner units, Class B interest and
general partner interest are not publicly traded. There is no
established public trading market for such units and interests and none
is expected to develop.

(b) At December 31, 1997, there were 2,226 Class A limited partners.

$ 10.50 $ 2,947,541
======= ===========

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 by a partnership which
exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of
capital for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a
partnership's return on capital over its life can 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 distribution for the month ended December 31, 1997, totaling
$425,479, was paid to the Class A limited partners on January 3, 1998.
Distributions to the general partner and Class B limited partner during
1997 are discussed in Item 13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions."

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate
sufficient cash flows from operations during 1998, to (1) meet current
operating requirements, (2) enable it to fund cash distributions to
both the Class A and Class B limited partners at annualized rates of
10.5% of their capital contributions, (portions of which are expected
to constitute returns of capital) and (3) reinvest in additional
equipment under leases, provided that suitable equipment can be
identified and acquired.

Operating lease rentals $ 11,394,668 $ 881,778
Direct finance lease income 259,558 7,805

============ ==========
Leasing margin ratio 10% 23%
== ==

*For the period from April 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to December 31,
1996.

All components of leasing margin increased due to growth in the Partnership's
lease portfolio. Leasing margin ratio fluctuates primarily due to non-recourse
interest expense. As of December 31, 1997, approximately 40% of the
Partnership's portfolio consisted of operating leases financed with non-recourse
debt while for the comparable period in 1996, the portfolio was minimally
financed with non-recourse debt and therefore, leasing margin was not materially
impacted by interest expense. Leasing margin and the related leasing margin
ratio for an operating lease financed with non-recourse debt increases during
the term of the lease since rents and depreciation are typically fixed while
interest expense declines as the related non-recourse debt is repaid.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on interest rates at the
time the leases are originated, as well as, 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).

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased due to an increase in invested cash from sales of
Class A limited partner units pending the Partnership's initial acquisition of
equipment.

EXPENSES

Management fees, direct services from general partner and general and
administrative expenses increased due to growth in the Partnership's lease
portfolio.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES

The remarketing of equipment for an amount greater than its book value is
reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin
(if the equipment is re-leased). The realization of less than the carrying value
of equipment (which is typically not known until remarketing subsequent to the
initial lease termination has occurred) is recorded as provision for losses.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations, continued
-------------

PROVISION FOR LOSSES, continued

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 the
equipment. The nature of the Partnership's leasing activities is that it has
credit and residual value exposure and, accordingly, in the ordinary course of
business, it will incur losses from those exposures. The Partnership performs
on-going quarterly assessments of its assets to identify any
other-than-temporary losses in value.

There were no provision for losses recorded during 1997 or 1996.

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

The Partnership was formed on December 18, 1995. On April 16, 1996, the
Partnership commenced offering 500,000 Class A limited partner units at $100 per
unit for sale to investors.

A summary of the Partnership's offering activities for 1997 is presented below:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

of Operations, continued
-------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
- -------------------------------

The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
discounted lease rentals (non-recourse debt), interest income, and sales of
off-lease equipment. Available cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are
invested in short-term government securities pending the acquisition of
equipment or distribution to the partners.

During 1997, the Partnership acquired equipment subject to leases with a total
purchase price of $47,828,703 (including $16,946,684 of equipment acquired
subject to existing non-recourse debt). Also during 1997, the Partnership
discounted future rental payments from certain leases to non-recourse lenders
and received proceeds of $3,687,846. Non-recourse borrowing against unleveraged
leases in the Partnership's lease portfolio may occur in the future as well,
when the general partner, in its discretion, determines that such non-recourse
financing is in the best interest of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1997,
the general partner had identified $3.6 million of additional equipment that
satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria and is expected to be acquired
during 1998.

During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership declared distributions to the Class A
limited partners of $2,947,541 and $439,720, respectively, of which $425,479 was
paid during January 1998. A portion of such distributions is expected to
constitute a return of capital. 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 by a partnership which
exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital
for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a partnership's return
on capital over its life can only be determined after all residual cash flows
(which include proceeds from the re-leasing and sales of equipment) have been
realized at the termination of the Partnership. For 1997, approximately 73% of
the cash distributions paid to the partners of the Partnership constituted a
return of capital for accounting purposes. This percentage may not be reflective
of the percentage of distributions that constitutes a return of capital at any
subsequent point in time.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate sufficient cash
flows from operations during 1998, to (1) meet current operating requirements,
(2) enable it to fund cash distributions to both the Class A and Class B limited
partners at annualized rates of 10.5% of their capital contributions (portions
of which are expected to constitute returns of capital), and (3) reinvest in
additional equipment under leases, provided that suitable equipment can be
identified and acquired.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------

Organization

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized on
December 18, 1995 as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of
Delaware pursuant to an Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"). The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing a diversified portfolio of equipment to unaffiliated third
parties. The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2007 unless
terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement. All Partnership equipment is expected to be sold and the
Partnership liquidated between 2003 and 2007. The general partner of the
Partnership is CAI Equipment Leasing V Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Capital Associates, Inc. ("CAI").

The general partner manages the Partnership, including investment of
funds, purchase and sale of equipment, lease negotiation and other
administrative duties. The Partnership commenced business operations on
April 16, 1996, and from that date through December 31, 1997, 456,633
Class A limited partner units were sold to approximately 2,238 investors
at a price of $100 per Class A limited partner unit.

Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of CAI, is the Class B limited partner. The Class B limited partner is
required to contribute cash, upon acquisition of equipment, in an amount
equal to 1% of gross offering proceeds received from the sale of Class A
limited partner units.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. For leasing entities, this includes the
estimate of residual values, as discussed below. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Partnership Allocations

Cash Distributions
------------------

During the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), available cash is distributed to the partners as follows:

Partnership Allocations, continued

Cash Distributions, continued
------------------

First, 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0% to the Class A limited
partners until the class A limited partners receive annual,
non-compounded cumulative distributions equal to 10.5% of their
contributed capital.

Second, 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0% to the Class B limited
partner until the Class B limited partner receives annual non-compounded
cumulative distributions equal to 10.5% of its contributed capital.

Third, any remaining available cash will be reinvested or distributed to
the partners as specified in the Partnership Agreement.

After the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement),
available cash will be distributed to the partners as follows:

First, in accordance with the first and second allocations during the
Reinvestment Period as described above.

Second, 99.0% to the Class A limited partners and 1.0% to the general
partner, until the Class A limited partners achieve Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement).

Third, 99.0% to the Class B limited partner, 1.0% to the general
partner, until the Class B limited partner achieves Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement).

Fourth, 99.0% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
and 1.0% to the general partner, until the Class A and Class B limited
partners receive cash distributions equal to 170% of their capital
contributions.

Thereafter, 90% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
and 10% to the general partner.

Profits and Losses
------------------

There are several special allocations that precede the general allocations
of profits and losses to the partners. The most significant special
allocations are as follows:

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------------

Partnership Allocations, continued

Cash Distributions, continued
------------------

First, commissions and expenses paid in connection with the sale of
Class A limited partner units are allocated 1.0% to the general partner
and 99.0% to the Class A limited partners.

Second, depreciation relating to Partnership equipment and any losses
resulting from the sale of equipment are generally allocated 1.0% to the
general partner and 99.0% to the limited partners (shared 99.0%/1.0% by
the Class A and Class B limited partners, respectively) until the
cumulative amount of such depreciation and such losses allocated to each
limited partner equals such limited partner's contributed capital
reduced by commissions and other expenses paid in connection with the
sale of Class A limited partner units allocated to such partner.
Thereafter, gain on sale of equipment, if any, will be allocated to the
general partner in an amount equal to the sum of depreciation and loss
on sale of equipment previously allocated to the general partner.

Third, notwithstanding anything in the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, and before any other allocation is made, items of income and
gain for the current year (or period) shall be allocated, as quickly as
possible, to the general partner to the extent of any deficit balance
existing in the general partner's capital account as of the close of the
immediately preceding year, in order to restore the balance in the
general partner's capital account to zero.

After giving effect to special allocations, profits (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) are first allocated in proportion to, and to the
extent of, any previous losses, in reverse chronological order and
priority. Any remaining profits are allocated in the same order and
priority as cash distributions.

After giving effect to special allocations, losses (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) are allocated in proportion to, and to the extent

remaining losses are allocated 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0% to
the limited partners (shared 99.0%/1.0% by the Class A and Class B limited
partners, respectively).


Financial Reporting
-------------------

For financial reporting purposes, net income is allocated to the partners
in a manner consistent with the allocation of cash distributions.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

During 1997, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfer
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
("SFAS No. 125"). SFAS No. 125 provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers
that are secured borrowings. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a
material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

Long-lived Assets

The Partnership accounts for long-lived assets under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed
Of ("SFAS No. 121"). SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets,
including operating leases, and certain identifiable intangibles to be
held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the
entity should estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected
future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than
the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets, including
operating leases, and identifiable intangibles held by the Partnership is
based on the fair value of the asset calculated by discounting the
expected future cash flows at an appropriate interest rate.

Lease Accounting

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
requires that a lessor account for each lease by the direct finance,
sales-type or operating lease method. The Partnership currently utilizes
the direct financing and operating methods for all of the Partnership's
equipment under lease. Direct finance leases are defined as those leases
which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of
the equipment to the lessee. For all types of leases, the determination of
profit considers the estimated value of the equipment at lease
termination, referred to as the residual value. After the inception of a
lease, the Partnership may engage in financing of lease receivables on a
nonrecourse basis (i.e., "non-recourse debt" or "discounted lease
rentals") and/or equipment sale transactions to reduce or recover its
investment in the equipment.

The Partnership's accounting methods and their financial reporting effects
are described below.





-20-




Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------------

Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases ("DFLs")

The cost of the equipment, including acquisition fees paid to the general
partner, is recorded as net investment in DFLs on the accompanying balance
sheet. Leasing revenue, which is recognized over the term of the lease,
consists of the excess of lease payments plus the estimated residual value
over the equipment's cost. Earned income is recognized monthly to provide
a constant yield and is recorded as direct finance lease income on the
accompanying income statements. Residual values are established at lease
inception equal to the estimated value to be received from the equipment
following termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances
includes anticipated re-lease proceeds), as determined by the general
partner. In estimating such values, the general partner considers all
relevant information regarding the equipment and the lessee.

Equipment on Operating Leases ("OLs")

The cost of equipment, including acquisition fees paid to the general
partner, is recorded as leased equipment in the accompanying balance
sheets and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to
an amount equal to the estimated residual value at the lease termination
date. Leasing revenue consists principally of monthly rents and is
recognized as operating lease rentals in the accompanying income
statements. Residual values are established at lease inception equal to
the estimated value to be received from the equipment following
termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances includes
anticipated re-lease proceeds), as determined by the general partner. In
estimating such values, the general partner considers all relevant
information and circumstances regarding the equipment and the lessee.
Because revenue, depreciation expense and the resultant profit margin
before interest expense are recorded on a straight-line basis, and
interest expense on discounted lease rentals (discussed below) is recorded
on the interest method, lower returns are realized in the early years of
the term of an OL and higher returns in later years.

Non-recourse Discounting of Rentals

The Partnership may assign the future rentals from leases to financial
institutions, or acquire leases subject to such assignments, at fixed
interest rates on a non-recourse basis. In return for such assigned
future rentals, the Partnership receives the discounted value of the
rentals in cash. In the event of default by a lessee, the financial
institution has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment, with no
further recourse against the Partnership. Cash proceeds from such
financings, or the assumption of such financings, are recorded on the
balance sheet as discounted lease rentals. As lessees make payments to
financial institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are
recorded.

Capital Preferred Yield Fund-IV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
-----------------------------------------------------------

Allowance for Losses

An allowance for losses is maintained at levels determined by the general
partner to adequately provide for any other-than-temporary declines in
asset values. In determining losses, economic conditions, the activity in
the used equipment markets, the effect of actions by equipment
manufacturers, the financial condition of lessees, the expected courses of
action by lessees with regard to leased equipment at termination of the
initial lease term, and other factors which the general partner believes
are relevant, are considered. Asset chargeoffs are recorded upon the
termination or remarketing of the underlying assets. The lease portfolio
is reviewed quarterly to determine the adequacy of the allowance for
losses.

Transactions Subsequent to Initial Lease Termination

After the initial term of equipment under lease expires, the equipment is
either sold or re-leased to the existing lessee or another third party.
The remaining net book value of equipment sold is removed and gain or loss
recorded when equipment is sold. The accounting for re-leased equipment is
consistent with the accounting described under "Net Investment in Direct
Financing Leases" and "Equipment on Operating Leases" above.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements
since taxable income or loss is recorded in the tax return of the
individual partners.

Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents of approximately $4,676,000 and $2,491,000 at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively, are comprised of investments in a mutual fund
which invests solely in U.S. Government treasury bills having maturities
of 90 days or less.

Net Income Per Class A Limited Partner Unit

Net income per Class A limited partner unit is computed by dividing the
net income allocated to the Class A limited partners by the weighted
average number of Class A limited partner units outstanding during the
period.

8. Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------

Approximately 79% of the Partnership's equipment under lease was leased to
investment grade companies. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, an
investment grade lessee is a company (i) with a net worth in excess of
$100,000,000 (and no debt issues that are rated), or (ii) with a credit
rating of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
or comparable credit rating as determined by another recognized credit
rating service; or (iii) a lessee, all of whose lease payments have been
unconditionally guaranteed or supported by a letter of credit issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements.

One lessee accounted for approximately 12% ($1,387,000) of total revenue of
the Partnership during 1997. Three lessees accounted for approximately 48%
($453,000) of total revenue of the Partnership during 1996. Rental revenue
from these lessees constituted a larger percentage of the Partnership's
total revenue than expected in future periods, as additional leases are
acquired by the Partnership.

The Partnership's cash balance is maintained with a high credit quality
financial institution. At times, such balances may be in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit due to the receipt of lockbox amounts that have not cleared
the presentment bank (generally for less than two days). As the funds become
available, they are invested in a money market mutual fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------

Statement of Financial Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments specifically excludes certain items from its
disclosure requirements such as the Partnership's investment in leased
assets. The carrying amounts at December 31, 1997 for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
payable to affiliates, rents and sale proceeds received in advance and
distributions payable to partners approximate their fair values due to the
short maturity of these instruments.

As of December 31, 1997, the carrying value of discounted lease rentals
approximates its fair value because the debt was recently acquired.
