Part I Item 1. Business CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership is composed of CSA Lease Funds, Inc. (an affiliate of CSA Financial Corp.), the sole General Partner, and as of December 31, 1997, 2,766 Limited Partners owning 506,776 Units of Limited Partnership Interest of $100 each. The capital contributions of the Partners aggregated $50,677,600. The Partnership was formed on December 21, 1989 and commenced operations on April 18, 1990. The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of acquiring income-producing equipment for investment. The Partnership's principal objectives are: 1. To acquire and lease equipment, primarily through Operating Leases, to generate income during its entire useful life; 2. To provide monthly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners from leasing revenues and from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of Partnership equipment; 3. To reinvest in additional equipment a portion of lease revenues and a substantial portion of Cash From Sales and Refinancing during the first years of the Partnership's operations. The Partnership was formed primarily for investment purposes and not as a "tax shelter". The Partnership shall terminate on December 31, 2014 unless sooner terminated. The Partnership has no direct employees. The General Partner has full and exclusive discretion in management and control of the Partnership. Selection of the equipment for purchase and lease is based principally on the General Partner's evaluation of the usefulness of the equipment in commercial or industrial applications and its estimate of the potential demand for the equipment at the end of the initial lease term. The Partnership's equipment may include: 1. New and reconditioned computer peripheral equipment, computer terminal systems and data processing systems primarily manufactured by International Business Machines, Inc. (IBM) and qualified for IBM maintenance. 2. New telecommunications and telecomputer equipment consisting primarily of private automated branch exchanges (PBX's), advanced high-speed digital telephone switching devices, voice/data transmission devices and telephone/computer networks as well as telephone handsets and facsimile transmission products. 3. New office equipment consisting primarily of photocopying and graphic processing equipment. 4. New highway transportation equipment and new and reconditioned air transportation equipment consisting primarily of tractors, trailers, trucks, intermodal equipment, railroad rolling stock, passenger vehicles and corporate or commercial aircraft. 5. Miscellaneous other types of equipment which meet the investment objectives of the Partnership. The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. In initiating its leasing transactions, the Partnership competes with leasing companies, manufacturers that lease their products directly, equipment brokers, dealers and financial institutions, including commercial banks and insurance companies. Many competitors are larger than the Partnership and have access to more favorable financing. Competitive factors in the equipment leasing business primarily involve pricing and other financial arrangements. Marketing capability is also a factor. As of December 31, 1997, substantially all of the remaining equipment in the Partnership's portfolio was leased under 165 separate leases to 102 lessees. The lessees providing at least 10% of total revenues during 1997 are as follows: Siemens Business Communications Systems, Inc. 15% America Online Inc. 13% As of December 31, 1997, approximately 22% of the Partnership's equipment portfolio (based on cost) is leased outside the United States. The Partnership's leases and equipment are described more fully in Notes 3 and 4 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8. Item 2. Properties The Partnership neither owns nor leases office space or equipment for the purpose of managing its day-to-day affairs. The General Partner, CSA Lease Funds, Inc. ("CLF"), has exclusive control over all aspects of the business of the Partnership, including provision of any necessary office space. As such, CLF will be compensated through Management fees and reimbursement of General and Administrative costs related to managing the Partnership's business. Excluded from the allowable reimbursement to the General Partner, however, will be any of the following: (1) Expenditures for rent or utilities; (2) Capital equipment and the related depreciation; and (3) Certain other administrative items. Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Partnership is not a party to any pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 1997. PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Equity Securities and Related Security Holder Matters a. The Partnership's limited partnership interests are not publicly traded. There is no active market for the Partnership's limited partnership interests and it is unlikely that one will develop. b.

Selected Financial Data - unaudited The following table sets forth selected financial information regarding the Partnership's financial position and operating results. The information should be used in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and the General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in Items 7 and 8 of this Report. Years Ended December 31, (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER UNIT AMOUNTS) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 Total Revenues $13,487 $17,641 $21,917 $21,735 $23,745 Net Income 2,716 1,772 858 2,356 1,148 Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit 5.31 3.46 1.68 4.60 2.24 Total Assets 36,736 25,498 33,734 48,111 44,448 Notes Payable 20,923 7,573 13,804 23,329 17,846 Limited Recourse Notes Payable - 229 581 757 - Cash Distribution per Limited Partnership Unit Outstanding $ 7.00 $ 8.00 $ 8.00 $ 8.00 $ 9.68 Item 7. General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Rental income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $12,413,441, $17,428,344 and $20,213,456, respectively. The decrease in rental income during 1997 was due to expiring leases primarily in the TIC Leasing Corp. portfolio purchased in 1994. The Partnership continues to invest in European Agency (Lease Residual) Transactions which represent lease transactions in the European Community where the lender receives nominal title to the equipment as a means of securing the loan, all rents are paid directly by the lessee to the lender and the Partnership as agent ofr the lender manages the lease and is entitled to substantially all of the residual value of the equipment. These agreements provide no current rental revenue or debt service requirements to the Partnership. Net income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $2,716,253, $1,772,216 and $857,812, respectively. The increase in net income in 1997 is primarily attributable to lower levels of depreciation which were the result of the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for a portion of the Partnership's portfolio in prior years. Net income was also affected by the gain on the sale of equipment of $865,137, $108,293 and $1,113,423 for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, primarily due to the remarketing of fully depreciated equipment. Depreciation expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $8,072,215, $13,095,023 and $17,736,910, respectively. Interest income for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $124,960, $90,473, and $480,899, respectively. The increase in 1997 was primarily due to approximately $49,000 of interest being paid by one lessee on late rental payments. Interest expense was $1,123,693, $1,065,689, and $1,662,201 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources During 1997, the Partnership generated $10,546,060 in cash flow from operations and $5,793,771 from the sale of equipment. The Partnership utilized these funds and proceeds from notes payable of $19,876,925 to acquire additional equipment of $24,487,895, reduce outstanding notes payable by $6,755,179 and make cash distributions of $3,583,264. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership did not have any material amount of equipment off lease and in storage. The Partnership's liquidity is determined by cash from operations provided by the leases currently in place. It is expected that this cash flow will be sufficient to service outstanding debt, pay monthly distributions to the partners and meet any other commitments and obligations which may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Partnership's future liquidity will be dependent upon the addition of leased equipment, the sale and/or re-lease of equipment as it comes off lease and the level of debt service. To date, the Partnership has made cash distributions to the Limited Partners ranging from 50% to 72% of their initial investment, depending on when the Limited Partner entered the Partnership. The objective of the Partnership is to return the Limited Partners' investment through current distributions and provide a return on this investment by continued distributions as long as the equipment continues to be leased. Management reviews the Partnership's projected performance on a periodic basis. Based on an analysis of the remaining assets in the Partnership's portfolio completed as part of the annual audit process, the General Partner presently estimates that the continued cash distributions will return the entire initial investment of the Limited Partners and a return thereon. However, the magnitude of the return may be lower than originally anticipated at the inception of the Partnership. The General Partner will continue to report on the Limited Partners' return of investment with each cash distribution and the General Partner intends to pursue additional lease investment opportunities to increase the Partnership's distributions.

CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1997 (1) Organization CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on December 21, 1989 with an initial investment of $1,000, from its sole General Partner, CSA Lease Funds, Inc. and the purchase of 10 Limited Partnership Units at $100 each by an initial Limited Partner. The Partnership's primary activity is to invest in equipment to be leased to third parties. On February 22, 1990, the Partnership began its offering of Limited Partnership Units. The Partnership commenced operations on April 18, 1990. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has 506,776 units of Limited Partnership interest outstanding representing aggregate capital contributions of $50,677,600. Distributable cash from operations, sales or refinancing and profits or losses for federal income tax purposes are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until Payout has occurred, and thereafter, 85% and 15% respectively. Payout is achieved when the aggregate amount of all distributions to the Limited Partners equals the amount of the Limited Partners' original invested capital plus a cumulative 9% annual return (compounded daily) on unreturned invested capital. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is liable to the General Partner (or its affiliates) for management fees calculated at 5% of gross rental revenues and to certain reimbursable operating expenses subject to limitations stated in the Partnership Agreement. (2) Significant Accounting Policies The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. The Partnership accounts for equipment leases as operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned. Equipment purchases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease to estimated realizable value. On a periodic basis, the Partnership conducts a review of the residual value of its equipment as compared to the estimated net realizable values for such equipment upon expiration of the related lease. The Partnership records additional charges to depreciation expense when net book values exceed estimated realizable values. In connection with this review for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 the Partnership recorded additional charges of $74,500, $300,000 and $445,686, respectively, to depreciation expense. Deferred income represents prepaid rentals received for active leases that are recognized when earned. No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership. The Partnership's federal tax return is prepared solely to arrive at the Partners' individual taxable income or loss as reported on form K-1. Partnership taxable income (loss) in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was ($7,349,952), $1,628,070 and $816,250, respectively. The differences between Partnership taxable income and book income are primarily due to the difference between tax and book depreciation methods and the related differences in the gain or loss on sales of equipment. CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Financial Statements The Partnership considers short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (3) Rental Equipment The Partnership purchases equipment subject to existing leases either directly from CSA Financial Corp. or the manufacturer. The purchase price to the Partnership is equal to the lesser of fair market value or cost as adjusted, if necessary, for rents received and carrying costs, plus an acquisition fee of 4% of cost. In accordance with Section 6.4 (b) of the Partnership Agreement, the total of all acquisition fees paid to the General Partner shall not exceed 15% of the total Capital Contributions received by the Partnership. This lifetime acquisition fee limit was met during 1996 and the General Partner is no longer paid acquisition fees on any new Partnership equipment acquisitions. However, the General Partner continued to actively seek out additional lease investment opportunities during 1997. A summary of changes in rental equipment owned and its related accumulated depreciation is as follows: Beginning Ending Balance Additions Sales Balance Costs for years ended: December 31, 1995 $92,684,951 $ 6,158,563 $21,373,531 $77,469,983 December 31, 1996 $77,469,983 $13,050,318 $31,085,950 $59,434,351 December 31, 1997 $59,434,351 $24,487,895 $24,604,206 $59,318,040 Accumulated depreciation for the years ended: December 31, 1995 $49,934,611 $17,501,209 $15,802,000 $51,633,820 December 31, 1996 $51,633,820 $13,095,023 $28,082,483 $36,646,360 December 31, 1997 $36,646,360 $ 8,072,215 $19,525,088 $25,193,487 CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Financial Statements (4) Leases As of December 31, 1997, substantially all of the Partnership's equipment was leased under 165 separate leases to 102 lessees. Approximately 22% of the Partnership's equipment portfolio (based on cost) has been leased outside the United States. Two lessees provided approximately 28% (15% and 13%, respectively) of the Partnership's revenues in 1997 as compared to two leases providing 35% (20%, and 15%, respectively) in 1996 and three lessees providing 48% (25%, 13%, and 10%, respectively) in 1995. Minimum annual lease rentals scheduled to be received under existing noncancellable operating leases are as follows: Year Amount 1998 $12,973,248 1999 9,088,664 2000 5,927,311 2001 1,522,346 2002 22,829 $29,534,398 (5) Notes Payable Notes payable consist of nonrecourse notes due in monthly, quarterly and annual installments, with interest rates that range from 6.25% to 10.50% per annum.
