(1) Organization and Partnership Matters
The foregoing financial statements of Wellesley Lease Income Limited Partnership
IV (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Pursuant to such
rules and regulations, certain note disclosures which are normally required
under generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is
recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The financial statements include allowances for estimated losses on receivable
balances. The allowances for doubtful accounts are based on past write off
experience and an evaluation of potential uncollectible accounts within the
current receivable balances. Receivable balances which are determined to be
uncollectible are charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance. At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the
allowance for doubtful accounts included in rents receivable was $30,821 and
$25,985, respectively. At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the allowance
for doubtful accounts included in sales receivable was $0.
(3) Investment Property
At March 31, 1998, the Partnership owned computer equipment with a depreciated
cost basis of $500,992.
(4) Related Party Transactions
Fees, commissions and other expenses paid or accrued by the Partnership to the
General Partner or affiliates of the General Partner for the quarters ended

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Unaudited)
Results of Operations
The following discussion relates to the Partnership's operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 in comparison to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
The Partnership realized net income (loss) of $(19,265) and $196,142 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Rental income decreased
$85,483 or 34% between the three month periods. The decrease is primarily due to
lower rental rates generated on equipment lease extensions and remarketings
resulting after the initial lease term expires, and due to a decrease in the
size of the equipment portfolio. Other income is the result of the reduction of
overstated liabilities recorded in prior periods. Interest income decreased as a
result of lower average short-term investment balances held during the current
quarter. The $2,079 net gain on sale of equipment recognized in the current
quarter is the result of sales of equipment carrying low net book values. The
net loss on sale of marketable securities in 1997 reflects the below-cost sale
of Continental Information Systems Corporation stock. The stock had been
received from the Trustee of the Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation (the
"Estate"), the former ultimate parent company of the General Partner, as part of
a settlement of certain outstanding issues between the Partnership and the
Estate.
Total costs and expenses decreased $51,792 or 21% between the three month
periods. The most significant factor impacting the decrease is the current
quarter reduction in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense decreased due to
a portion of the equipment portfolio becoming fully depreciated and due to a
reduction in the size of the equipment portfolio. Interest expense decreased
$5,600 due to the continued paydown of long-term debt. Management fees decreased
with the decline in rental income on operating leases. During the first quarter
of 1997, the Partnership reversed a provision for doubtful accounts in the
amount of $23,790 due to successful collection efforts on delinquent rents
receivable.
The Partnership recorded net income (loss) per Limited Partnership Unit of
$(0.71) and $7.07 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The allocation for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 includes a cost recovery
allocation of profit and loss among the General and Limited Partners. This cost
recovery allocation is required to maintain capital accounts consistent with the
distribution provisions of the Partnership Agreement. In certain periods, the
cost recovery of profit and loss may result in an allocation of net loss to the
Limited Partners in instances when the Partnership's operations were profitable
for the period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Unaudited)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, rental revenue generated from operating
leases and proceeds from the sale of investment property were the primary
sources of funds for the Partnership. As equipment leases terminate, the General
Partner determines if the equipment will be extended to the same lessee,
remarketed to another lessee, or sold. This decision is made upon analyzing
which option generates the most favorable result.
Rental income has continued to decrease due to two factors. First, lower rates
are obtained on the remarketing of existing equipment upon expiration of the
original leases. Typically the remarketed rates are lower due to the decrease in
useful life of the equipment. Second, the increasing change of technology in the
computer industry usually decreases the demand for older equipment, thus
increasing the possibility of obsolescence. Both of these factors together will
cause remarketed rates to be lower than original rates and will cause certain
leases to terminate upon expiration. This decrease however, should not affect
the Partnership's ability to meet its future cash requirements, including its
long-term debt obligations. To the extent that future cash flows should be
insufficient to meet the Partnership's operating expenses and liabilities,
additional funds could be obtained through the sale of equipment, or a reduction
in the rate of cash distributions.
The Partnership's investing activities resulted in sales of equipment with a
depreciated cost basis of $885, generating $2,965 in proceeds. Included in
equipment sales is a $553 loss. The Partnership will not purchase equipment in
the future as the Partnership has reached the end of its reinvestment period.
The Partnership's activities included a paydown on long-term debt of $73,954.
The Partnership will payoff its remaining long-term debt of $202,425 in 1999.
Total debt assumed by the Partnership from inception is $14,500,441, for a total
leverage of 43%.
Cash distributions are currently at an annual level of 4% per Limited
Partnership Unit or $5.00 per Limited Partnership Unit on a quarterly basis. The
Partnership expects to continue paying at or near this level in the future. The
effects of inflation have not been significant to the Partnership and are not
expected to have any material impact in future periods.
