Boston Market Restaurant (Rochester, Minnesota)
On March 10, 1997 the Partnership acquired the land and 3,035 square foot
building comprising a Boston Market restaurant located at 1201 S. Broadway,
Rochester, Minnesota (the "Minnesota Property"). The Minnesota Property was
constructed for its present use in November of 1995 and was fully operational
at the time of the purchase. The Minnesota Property was purchased from, and
leased back to Finest Foodservice L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Finest Foodservice"). Finest Foodservice operates casual dining restaurants
under the primary trade name of Boston Market. The Partnership purchased the
Minnesota Property for a purchase price of $964,000 which was negotiated by an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner who considered factors such as the
potential value of the site, the financial condition and business and operating
history of Finest Foodservice, and demographic data for the area in which the
Minnesota Property is located. The purchase price for the Minnesota Property
is supported by an independent MAI appraisal. The Partnership purchased the
Minnesota Property with cash from Offering proceeds. It is anticipated that
the Minnesota Property will be leveraged as provided for in the Prospectus.
However, the Partnership presently does not have a financing commitment.
Finest Foodservice and the Partnership have entered into a lease (the
"Finest Foodservice Lease"), which is an absolute net lease, whereby Finest
Foodservice is responsible for all expenses related to the Minnesota Property,
including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The
Finest Foodservice Lease term expires on

Lease Years 26-30 $163,081
Lease Years 31-40 Fair market value determined for each subsequent
five-year period at the beginning of the 31st

Beginning in the sixth lease year, and in addition to the Annual Rental
provided above, Finest Foodservice will pay percentage rent on an annual basis
equal to the difference between five percent of "gross sales" (as defined in
the Finest Foodservice Lease) during such lease year less the Annual Rental
payable for such lease year.
Boston Chicken, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Option Holder"), has an
option to purchase and first right of refusal to purchase the Minnesota
Property. The Option Holder has the right to purchase the Minnesota Property
on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the offer or the Option Holder
may elect an alternate purchase price as follows: (a) during the first and
second lease years, an alternate purchase price equal to the total Annual

alternate purchase price equal to the total Annual Rental for the third ease
year divided by 9.978%; (c) during the fourth lease year, an alternative
purchase price equal to the Annual Rental for the fourth lease year divided by
9.785%; and (d) during the fifth lease year, an alternative purchase price

An Affiliate of the Managing General Partner analyzed demographic,
geographic and market diversification data for the area in which the Minnesota
Property is located and reviewed the appraisal of the Minnesota Property and
the analysis regarding comparable properties contained therein. Based upon the
foregoing, the General Partners believe that the amount of insurance carried by
Finest Foodservice is adequate.
The current annual rent per square foot for the Minnesota Property is
$33.35 per square foot. The depreciable basis of the Minnesota Property for
federal tax purposes if $614,000 and it will be depreciated using the straight
line method over 39 years, a rate of $15,744 per year.
An Affiliate of the Managing General Partner has received an Acquisition
Fee from the Partnership in an amount equal to $38,560 and expects to receive
an additional fee of $9,640 from the Partnership after leveraging the Property,
as provided for in the Prospectus. As provided in the Partnership Agreement,
these fees are being paid for services rendered in connection with the
selection, evaluation and acquisition of the Minnesota Property. In addition,
Finest Foodservice has paid to the same affiliate a closing fee equal to $4,820
as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. Finest Foodservice also paid all

conditions, or provisions of the Finest Foodservice Lease; and (iv) Finest

On July 25, 1997 the Partnership acquired the land and 6,257 square foot
building comprising a Carino's Italian Kitchen restaurant located at 675
Sunland Park Drive, El Paso, Texas (the "Carino's Property"). The Carino's
Property was constructed for its present use in 1995 and was fully operational
at the time of the purchase. The Carino's Property was purchased from and
leased back to Kona Restaurant Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Kona
Group"). Kona Group operates casual dining restaurants under the primary trade
names of Carino's Italian Kitchen and Kona Ranch Steak House. The Partnership
purchased a fee simple interest in the Carino's Property for a purchase price
of $1,600,000 which was negotiated by an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner who considered factors such as the potential value of the site, the
financial condition and business and operating history of Kona Group, and
demographic data for the area in which the Carino's Property is located. The
purchase price for the Carino's Property is supported by an independent MAI
appraisal. The Partnership purchased the Carino's Property with cash from
Offering proceeds. It is anticipated that the Carino's Property will be
leveraged as provided for in the Prospectus. However, the Partnership
presently does not have a financing commitment.
Kona Group and the Partnership have entered into a lease (the "Carino's
Lease"), which is an absolute net lease, whereby Kona Group is responsible for
all expenses related to the Carino's Property including real estate taxes,
insurance, maintenance and repair costs. The Carino's Lease term expires on
July 31, 2014 with one renewal option of six years and one renewal option of
seven years. The initial annual rent is equal to eleven percent (11%) of the
purchase price and will be payable in monthly installments on the first day of
each month. Thus, based on the purchase price of $1,600,000 the rent in the
first year of the Carino's Lease is $176,000 per year, or $14,667 per month.
The annual rent will increase by five percent (5%) on the August 1, 2000 and
every three years thereafter.

Group elects to exercise the option to purchase in the sixty-first full month
of the Carino's Lease, the option price is One Million Nine Hundred Forty
Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($1,940,400).
An Affiliate of the Managing General Partner analyzed demographic,
geographic, and market diversification data for the area in which the Carino's
Property is located and reviewed the appraisal of the Carino's Property and the
analysis regarding comparable properties contained therein. Based upon the
foregoing, the General Partners are unaware of any unfavorable competitive
conditions regarding the Carino's Property, and believe that the amount of
insurance carried by Kona Group is adequate.
The current annual rent per square foot for the Carino's Property is
$28.13 per square foot. The depreciable basis of the Carino's Property for
federal tax purposes is $500,000 and it will be depreciated using the straight
line method over 39 years, a rate of $12,821 per year.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has received an Acquisition
Fee from the Partnership in an amount equal to $64,000 and expects to receive
an additional fee of $16,000 from the Partnership after leveraging the

$16,000 as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. The Tenant also paid all
of the expenses incident to the closing of the transaction contemplated by this

entitled to damages incurred by reason of the material default; (ii) the

GENERAL
The Offering is being made on a "best efforts, part or none" basis through
broker-dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "Participating Dealers") and Captec Securities Corporation,

corporate General Partner are each an Affiliate of the Dealer-Manager. The
Offering is conditioned upon sale of the Minimum Number of Units prior to the
close of business one year after the effective date of this Prospectus (the

the Partnership, the Dealer-Manager and the Participating Dealers pursuant to
which the Participating Dealers are acting as agents of the Partnership for the
purpose of offering and selling Units. The Units are being offered on a "best
efforts, part or none" basis, which means that Participating Dealers are not
obligated to purchase any Units but are required only to use their best efforts
to sell Units to investors.
COMPENSATION
Subject to the provisions for reduced selling commissions, the Partnership
will pay selling commissions equal to 8.0% of Gross Proceeds to the
Dealer-Manager for Units sold by it. The Dealer-Manager may reallow fees of

Gross Proceeds to Participating Dealers from Units sold until the Minimum
Number of Units was sold. The Dealer-Manager may also receive up to 0.5% of
Gross Proceeds as reimbursement for bona fide due diligence expenses. The
Dealer-Manager may reallow to any Participating Dealer or its registered
representatives all or any portion of this fee based upon the bona fide due
diligence expenses incurred. The General Partners will receive a
Non-Accountable Expense Allowance in an amount equal to 2% of Gross Proceeds to
cover certain expenses relating to the offer and sale of Units (including the
additional 1% selling commission payable until the Minimum Number of Units is
sold). In no event will sales commissions, the Non-Accountable Expense
Allowance, Organization and Offering Expenses, wholesaling salaries and
expenses and expenses of sales seminars, exceed in the aggregate, 13% of Gross
Proceeds.
The General Partners, their Affiliates and Participating Dealers may
purchase up to 10% of the Units, net of any selling commissions but otherwise
on the same terms as purchasers who are not Affiliates. Purchase of Units
by the General Partners and their Affiliates will not be counted for purposes
of reaching the Minimum Number of Units. Any purchases by the General Partners
will be for investment purposes only and not with a view toward resale.
Investors will not have a right to withdraw and receive a return of their
contributions. Neither the General Partners nor any of their Affiliates will
directly or indirectly pay or award any compensation to a third party engaged
as an investment adviser as inducement to advise favorably toward investment in
the Partnership. In addition, the selling commissions to the Dealer-Manager and
Participating Dealers will be reduced on sales of 501 or more Units in
accordance with the following Schedule:
Dollar Amount Purchased Investor's
- ----------------------- ----------
Purchase Price Selling Commission Per Unit
-------------- ---------------------------
Per Unit Percent Dollar Amount
-------- ------- -------------
$1,000 - $500,000 $1,000 8.0% $80.00
$501,000 - $750,000 $ 980 6.0% $60.00
$751,000 - $1,000,000 $ 970 5.0% $50.00
$1,001,000 - $1,500,000 $ 960 4.0% $40.00
$1,501,000 - $2,000,000 $ 950 3.0% $30.00
$2,001,000 and above $ 940 2.0% $20.00
The purchaser of such Units will be credited with such reduced commission
and the net proceeds to the Partnership will not be affected by the discount.
Subscriptions may be combined for purposes of determining the volume discounts
applicable to subscriptions from a purchaser.

INDEMNIFICATION
The Partnership, General Partners, and Dealer-Manager have agreed to
indemnify the Participating Dealers and the Participating Dealers have agreed
to indemnify the General Partners, Dealer-Manager, and the Partnership against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"). In the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
indemnification for liabilities under the Act is against public policy and
therefore unenforceable. The Participating Dealers may be deemed to be
underwriters as that term is defined in the Act.
AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP OF CAPTEC FRANCHISE
CAPITAL PARTNERS IV
Sections 12, 14, and 15 of the Partnership's Agreement of Limited
Partnership included as Exhibit B to the Prospectus (the "Partnership
Agreement"), have been corrected and amended, consistent with the disclosures
in the Prospectus as set forth below:
12. TRANSFERABILITY OF UNITS
Section 12.1.4 of the Partnership Agreement has been amended so as to read in
its entirety as follows:
12.1.4 if the Managing General Partner determines in its sole
discretion that such assignment would prevent the Partnership from
being able to satisfy either the 2% or 5% "safe harbors" contained
in Service Advance Notice 88-75 or in corresponding regulations or
the Partnership has received an opinion of counsel or a favorable
service ruling that such transfer would result in the Partnership
being classified as a "publicly-traded partnership" for federal
income tax purposes.
14. RIGHTS, AUTHORITY, POWERS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF THE MANAGING
GENERAL PARTNER
The first sentence of Section 14.4.5 has been amended so as to permit the
Partnership to only enter into co-tenancy arrangements, joint ventures or
general partnerships with non-affiliates that own one or more Assets, and
Section 14.4.5 now reads in its entirety as follows:
cause the Partnership to invest in any Asset with unaffiliated
parties that own one or more Assets through co-tenancy
arrangements, joint ventures or general partnerships except on
substantially the same terms and conditions (although not
necessarily the same percentage interest) as such unaffiliated
parties; provided, however, that no such investment shall be
entered into by the Partnership (i) if it involves the payment of
duplicative property management or other fees which would have the
effect of circumventing any of the restrictions on and prohibited
transactions involving conflicts of interest contained in this
Partnership Agreement, and (ii) unless the Partnership acquires a
controlling interest in such joint venture or partnership.
15. RIGHTS AND POWERS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS
The last sentence of Section 15.3 has been revised so as to remove the
General Partners' right to vote the Units of those Limited Partners that do not
submit a vote within a certain time period, and Section 15.3 reads in its
entirety as follows:
15.3 Consent Without a Meeting. The Managing General Partner may
and, upon receipt of a request in writing signed by ten percent
(10%) or more in interest of the Limited Partners, the Managing
General Partner shall, submit any matter upon which the Limited
Partners are entitled to act, to the Limited Partners for a vote
by written consent without a meeting. For purposes of obtaining a
written vote under this Partnership Agreement, the Managing
General Partner may require a written response within a specified
time, but not less than fifteen (15) days and no more than sixty
(60) days from receipt of said request.
