the financial condition and business and operating history of the tenant, and

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

to sell Units to investors.

COMPENSATION

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

representatives all or any portion of this fee based upon the bona fide due
diligence expenses incurred.  The General Partners will receive a

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.

     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 9, 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:

9.   COMPENSATION TO THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND THEIR AFFILIATES

     The second sentence of Section 9.7 of the Partnership Agreement has been
amended so as to read in its entirety as follows:

     Such fees shall accrue and be subordinated to receipt by the
     Limited Partners of aggregate Distributions equal to a 10.5% per
     annum cumulative, non-compounded return on their Adjusted
     Investment plus aggregate distributions of Net Sale or Refinancing
     Proceeds equal to 100% of their Original Contributions.
     
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.
     
              PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT OF GENERAL PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

     In a recently filed registration statement with the Commission for its
initial public offering, Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc., an Affiliate of the
General Partners, stated that it will become the sole general partner of the
Partnership by acquiring the general partnership interests in the Partnership
held by the General Partners.  However, the transfer of such general
partnership interests is subject to the approval of the Limited Partners by
Majority Vote, and the Limited Partners will receive notice of and an
opportunity to approve any transfer of the general partnership interests.

                   CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. IV
                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET

1.    THE PARTNERSHIP:

      Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
      limited partnership, was organized on July 23, 1996 for the purpose of
      acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment
      leased on a "triple net" or "double net" basis, primarily to operators of
      national and regional franchised businesses, principally restaurants, as
      well as national and regional retail chains.  The Partnership has not
      commenced operations.

      The General Partners of the Partnership are Captec Franchise Capital
      Corporation IV (the "Corporation"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Captec
      Financial Group, Inc. ("Captec"), and Patrick L. Beach, an individual,
      hereinafter collectively referred to as the Sponsors.  Patrick L. Beach
      is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief
      Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec.  The General Partners
      have each contributed $100 in cash to the Partnership as a capital
      contribution.

      The Partnership has undertaken a public offering of limited partnership
      interests ("Units") in 1996.  A minimum of 2,000 Units and a maximum of
      30,000 Units, priced at $1,000 per Unit, will be offered on a "best
      efforts, part or none" basis.  As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership
      had not issued any Units.

      The initial Limited Partner of the Partnership is Patrick L. Beach.  Mr.
      Beach has contributed $100 to the capital of the Partnership and has
      received 0.1 Unit.  Upon admission to the Partnership of any other
      Limited Partner, the initial Limited Partner may withdraw from the
      Partnership, in which case his 0.1 Unit shall be redeemed for $100.

2.    ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING EXPENSES:

      Organization and offering expenses, excluding selling commissions, will
      be paid initially by the Sponsors and/or their affiliates and reimbursed
      by the Partnership in an amount equal to up to three percent (3%) of the
      gross proceeds of the offering (less any amounts paid directly by the
      Partnership).  The Sponsors are liable for all expenses of the offering
      and for the general obligations of the Partnership if no Units are sold
      (i.e., if subscriptions are not received for the minimum number of
      Units).  In addition, the Sponsors and/or their affiliates will be paid a
      non-accountable expense allowance by the Partnership in an amount equal
      to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the offering.

      The Sponsors have also guaranteed payment of organization and offering
      expenses which exceed 13% of the gross proceeds of the offering.

3.    OMISSION OF INAPPLICABLE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

      The Partnership was organized in July 1996, but has not commenced
      operations.  As no revenues or expenses have been incurred, no Statement
      of Operations, Statement of Partners' Capital or Statement of Cash Flows
      are included for the Partnership.

4.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

      On March 5, 1997, the Partnership accepted subscriptions for 2,015.5
      Units, at which time $2,015,500 of proceeds from the sale of such Units
      were released from escrow and the Partnership immediately commenced
      operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Captec Franchise Capital Corporation IV:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Captec Franchise Capital
Corporation IV as of December 31, 1996 and July 30, 1996, and the related
statements of cash flows for the period from July 30, 1996 to December 31,
1996.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence support financial statement amounts and disclosures.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Captec Franchise Capital
Corporation IV as of December 31, 1996 and July 30, 1996, and its cash flows
for the period from July 30, 1996 to December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                    CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL CORPORATION IV
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    ORGANIZATION:

      Captec Franchise Capital Corporation IV (the "Corporation") is a Michigan
      corporation organized on July 22, 1996.  The Corporation was formed for
      the purpose of serving as the managing general partner of Captec
      Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
      limited partnership.

      The Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group,
      Inc. ("Captec").  Captec has paid $1,000 in cash to the Corporation for
      the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation.  As a
      general partner of the Partnership, the Corporation has contributed $100
      to the capital of the Partnership, Patrick L. Beach is also a general
      partner of the Partnership and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
      President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec.
      Each general partner has a 0.5 percent share in the Partnership's net
      income or loss.

      The Partnership anticipates undertaking a public offering of limited
      partnership interests ("Units") in 1996.  A minimum of 2,000 Units and a
      maximum of 30,000 Units, priced at $1,000 per Unit, will be offered on a
      "best efforts, part or none" basis.  As of December 31, 1996, the
      Partnership had not issued any Units.

      Affiliates of the Corporation are expected to provide various services to
      the Partnership and will be paid certain fees for such services as
      specified in the Partnership Agreement.

      Following is a summary of the Corporation's significant accounting
      principles:

      a.   INCOME TAXES: The Corporation reports its income for federal
           income tax purposes in the consolidated tax return of Captec.
           Income taxes are allocated by Captec to the Corporation on the
           separate return basis.  The Corporation's income tax expense
           reflected in the statement of operations and that computed by
           applying the statutory federal income tax rate are approximately
           equal.  Deferred income taxes, for financial reporting purposes, are
           not material.

      b.   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 revenues and expenses during
           the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
           estimates.

2.    OMISSION OF INAPPLICABLE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

      For the period from July 30, 1996 to December 31, 1996, the Corporation
      had no sources of revenue or expense, since operations of the Partnership
      had not commenced.  As no revenues or expenses had been incurred, no
      Statement of Operations or Statement of Partners' Capital are included
      for the Corporation.

3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

      Organization and offering expenses related to the offering of Units are
      prepaid by the Corporation and reimbursed by the Partnership in an amount
      equal to up to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds of the offering
      (less any amounts paid directly by the Partnership).  The Corporation is
      also reimbursed by the Partnership for a non-accountable expense
      allowance in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of
      the offering.  The Corporation did not receive reimbursements from the
      Partnership in 1996 because the Partnership had not commenced operations.

      The Corporation receives advances from Captec in order to have sufficient
      funds for the prepayment of organization and offering and non-accountable
      expenses made on behalf of the Partnership.  As the Corporation receives
      reimbursements of such prepaid expenses, the advances to Captec are
      repaid.

4.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

      On March 5, 1997, the Partnership accepted subscriptions for 2,015.5
      Units, at which time $2,015,500 of proceeds from the sale of such Units
      were released from escrow and the Partnership immediately commenced
      operations.
