Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying statements. For such information, reference should be made to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In the General Partner's opinion, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of CSA Income Fund IV Limited Partnership as of September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented therein. CSA INCOME FUND IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP GENERAL PARTNER'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS Rental income was $3,297,176 and $4,273,789 and net income was $671,191 and $142,315 for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, rental income was $8,833,081 and $14,334,291 and net income was $2,362,586 and $1,242,528, respectively. The decrease in rental income during 1997 was due to expiring leases as well as additional investment in European Sales Agency Agreements, the accounting for which provides no current rental revenue or debt service requirements to the Partnership. The decrease in rental income in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 was offset by 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 increased by gains on the sale of equipment for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 of $219,669 as compared to a loss of ($395,052) for the comparable quarter last year. The gain on sale of equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $651,351 as compared to a loss of ($53,150) for the same period last year. The Partnership generated $12,042,033 from operations and sales of equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Partnership used these funds, proceeds from notes payable and cash on hand to acquire additional equipment of $20,122,704, make scheduled payments on notes payable of $4,722,193 and make distributions to partners of $2,815,421. The Partnership paid distributions of $.50 per Limited Partner unit on the 15th of July, August and September 1997. To date, the Partnership has made cash distributions to the Limited Partners ranging from 49% to 71% of their initial investment, depending on when the Limited Partners entered the Partnership. The objective of the Partnership is to return the Limited Partner's investment through current distributions and provide a return on this investment by continued distributions for as long as the equipment continues to be leased. Management, on a periodic basis, reviews the Partnership's projected performance. Based on an analysis of the remaining assets in the Partnership's portfolio, 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.
