The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 7 PERFORMANCE ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND IV, LTD., A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Financial Statements Organization and Description of Business Performance Asset Management Fund IV, Ltd., A California Limited Partnership ("Partnership"), was formed in October 1992, for the purpose of acquiring investments in or direct ownership of distressed loan portfolios from financial institutions and other sources. Interests in the Partnership were sold in an intrastate offering to residents of California pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(A)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933; however, the Partnership did not begin its primary operations until March 1993. The General Partner is Performance Development, Inc., a California corporation ("General Partner"). The Partnership terminates at December 31, 2005. At that time, the Partnership will distribute any remaining cash after payment of Partnership obligations following the sale or collection of all assets. Profits, losses, and cash distributions are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner until such time as the limited partners have received cash equal to 100% of their contributions to the capital of the Partnership plus an amount equal to 6% per annum of the original limited partner capitalization yet to be returned. Thereafter, Partnership profits, losses, and cash distributions will be allocated 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner. Cash and Equivalents The Partnership defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Partnership maintains cash balances at one bank in accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership uses a cash management system whereby idle cash balances are transferred daily into a master account and invested in high quality, short-term securities that do not enjoy the benefit of the federal insurance. The General Partner believes that these cash balances are not subject to any significant credit risk, due to the nature of the investments and the strength of the bank and has not experienced any losses with cash and equivalent investments. The Partnership received interest income from these investments of $113,015 and $188,640 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. 8 Cash Held in Trust The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership and Performance Asset Management, Ltd., A California Limited Partnership; Performance Asset Management Fund II, Ltd. A California Limited Partnership; Performance Asset Management III, Ltd., A California Limited Partnership; and Performance Asset Management Fund V, Ltd. A California Limited Partnership ("PAM Funds") may, in the future, be reorganized and merged into Performance Asset Management Company, a Delaware Corporation ("PAMCO") ("Rollup"). In an effort to accomplish the Rollup, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership and the PAM Funds, entered into an agreement on December 12, 1995, with the State of California Department of Corporations ("Department"), pursuant to the provisions of which the Performance Asset Management Fund Trust ("Trust") was created. Certain funds of the Partnership are held by the Trust and these funds held in trust are subject to the terms of the Trust agreement. The Trust was the recipient of those funds resulting from a settlement of certain then pending litigation between the Partnership and its affiliates and West Capital Financial Services Corp. and its affiliates. The funds held by the Trust must not be less than $5,000,000 which is comprised of funds from the Partnership and the PAM Funds. The Trust agreement specifies that the Trust will terminate and the trustee will distribute all of the remaining funds held by the trustee on August 16, 1998 if the Rollup is not completed by such date. The Department has indicated that it will oppose the termination of the Trust on August 16, 1998. The Partnership is attempting to reach an agreement with the Department regarding the termination of the Trust and the disposition of the Partnership's funds held by the Trust. The Partnership's share of the Trust's funds at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $2,915,849 and $2,849,998. Investments in Distressed Loan Portfolios and Revenue Recognition Investments in distressed loan portfolios are carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Amounts collected are treated as a reduction to the carrying basis of the related investments on an individual portfolio basis and are reported in the Statement of Operations as portfolio basis recovery. Under the cost recovery method of revenue recognition used by the Partnership, net investment income is not recognized until 100% recovery of the carrying value of the investment in each portfolio occurs. Estimated net realizable value represents the General Partner's estimates, based on its present plans and intentions, of the present value of future collections. Due to the distressed nature of these investments, no interest is earned on outstanding balances, and there is no assurance that the unpaid principal balances of these investments will ultimately be collected. Any adjustments reducing the carrying value of the individual portfolios are recorded in the results of operations as a general and administrative expense. Organization Costs, Net Organization costs include legal and other professional fees incurred related to the organization of the Partnership. These costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Organization costs were fully amortized at December 31, 1997. 9 Professional Fees Professional fees are incurred in relation to ongoing accounting and legal assistance. Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements, except for the Partnership's minimum state franchise tax liability of $800. All partners report individually on their share of the Partnership's operating results. 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Disclosure regarding: Forward Looking Statements The information contained in this report on Form 10-QSB, other than historical facts, contains "forward-looking statements" (as such term is defined with the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) including, without limitation, statements as to the Partnership's objective to grow through future portfolio acquisitions, portfolio account sales, the Partnership's ability to realize operating efficiencies in the integration of its acquisitions, trends in the Partnership's future operating performance, and statements as to the Partnership's or the General Partner's beliefs, expectations and opinions. Forward looking statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, such as "may", "will", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. In addition to the factors discussed in this Report, certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, the risk that the Partnership will not be able to realize operating efficiencies in the integration of its acquisitions, risks associated with growth and future acquisitions, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, and the other risks detailed from time to time in the Partnership's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, dated on March 31, 1998, can cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 10 Results of Operations The Partnership recorded net investment income of $115,188 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a 352% increase from $25,494 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase was generated from collections in excess of the carrying value of certain portfolios. Approximately 5% of portfolio collections received for the six months ended June 30, 1998 are reflected as income, compared to 2% for the similar period in 1997. Net investment income of $115,188 for the six months ending June 30, 1998 is the direct result of portfolio collection proceeds from eight of the Partnership's portfolios. These eight portfolios owned by the Partnership contain two portfolios which contribute 58% of the net investment income and six other portfolios which contribute the remaining net investment income during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Collections for the months ended April 30, 1998, May 31, 1998, and June 30, 1998, totaled $411,489, $456,357, and $558,424, respectively. The Partnership received proceeds from portfolio sales of $445,949 of which 100% were recorded as recoveries of investment basis and reflected in portfolio collections for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Proceeds totaling $54,019 were received for the comparable period ended June 30, 1997. The General Partner continues to believe that proceeds from both collection and portfolio account sales will continue in subsequent periods. Total operating expenses of the Partnership decreased 41% to $301,261 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $508,181 for the comparable period in 1997. The decrease is due primarily to a 61% reduction in professional fees to $64,479 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $165,793 for the similar period in 1997. Collection expenses decreased 38%, to $104,203 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $167,889 for the same period in 1997. This is due to a decrease in skip tracing used in that period. Management fees increased by 21% to $131,158 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $108,724, which was directly related to the increase of investments in distressed loan portfolios and net assets under management. Total operating expenses of the Partnership as a percentage of portfolio collections decreased 24%, to 12% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 36% in the comparable period in 1997. This decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in professional fees due to less activity in legal fees associated with the Partnership. Operating expenses as a percentage of portfolio collections decreased 33% to 7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 40% for the similar period ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in operating expense as a percent of portfolio collections is primarily attributed to increased portfolio sales reflected in portfolio collections. Total operating expenses of the Partnership decreased 61% to $103,314 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $267,213 for the comparable period of 1997. The decrease in total operating expenses is primarily attributed to a reduction in collection expenses by 91%. This decrease in collection expenses is due essentially to a reduction in skip tracing used to locate and identify Partnership debtor accounts. Management 11 fees increased 24% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to $63,953 from $51,632 for the similar period ended 1997, due to the acquisition of new portfolios increasing the net assets under management. Professional fees decreased 63% to $27,127, from $73,173 due to a reduction of legal fees. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Partnership's total assets decreased approximately 3% to $14,791,312 as of June 30, 1998, from $15,296,220 at December 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily attributed to portfolio collection proceeds of $2,487,306, of which 95% or $2,372,118 was recorded as a reduction of investment portfolio assets. The purchase related to the deposit on distressed loan portfolio acquisition of $2,858,076 was consummated shortly after the year-end, and is reflected in the increase in investments in distressed loan portfolios. The decrease of $231,443 in due from affiliates is primarily the result of the receipt of payments due the Partnership for the prior period's collections. The decrease of $631,593 in due to affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 1998, was due primarily to the payments of accrued legal expenses and management fees to the General Partner. The Partnership acquired three new distressed loan portfolio assets in the first half of 1998 from third party financial institutions which specialize in credit card origination. The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will acquire additional portfolios in the near future. Future acquisitions will depend on the asset market, which continues to grow in size and diversity. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will continue to acquire low-end-priced distressed portfolios; however, the General Partner will continue to evaluate assets with different pricing and debtor account structure in order to determine whether such portfolios can generate strong immediate cash flows and provide additional liquidity to the Partnership. The Partnership has made no future commitments with credit card originators and other financial institutions to acquire portfolio assets. The General Partner plans to use its present contacts and relationships to identify and acquire additional assets at optimal prices, and believes that it will have no difficulties in identifying and acquiring such assets. The General Partner suspended distributions to its partners in the third quarter of 1997 to improve the financial condition of the Partnership and provide the Partnership future portfolio acquisitions. The General Partner also believes current cash reserves and future portfolio collection proceeds will be sufficient to acquire additional portfolio assets in the next twelve months. However, the General Partner will continuously monitor its liquidity and evaluate whether additional external capital resources will be necessary for future growth. Impact of Additional Partnership Acquisitions and Resources on Operations. The General Partner anticipates that additional portfolio acquisitions and continued expansion will improve the Partnership's liquidity, profitability and financial condition, which will result in increased portfolio collections and sales. The General Partner believes that Performance Capital Management, Inc., a California corporation and an affiliate to the General Partner ("PCM"), which serves as the servicer of the 12 Partnership's portfolios of indebtedness, must continue to increase that amount of its collection representatives and human resources in order to supplement such growth to the Partnership. PCM is seeking to lease office space in which it will plan to move and expand their facilities. The General Partner believes that this move provides the adequate operating facilities for the future growth of PCM, which will subsequently increase portfolio collections for the Partnership. A proposal is currently under consideration by the General Partner, pursuant to which PAM Funds and the Partnership would merge with and into PAMCO. The result of the proposed merger would be that a series of interrelated changes to the current organizational form of PAMCO would be implemented, including (a) merging the Partnership and the PAM Funds with and into PAMCO, as a result of which PAMCO would be the sole surviving entity; (b) terminating the PAM Funds and the Partnership and (c) converting the Limited Partners interests in the Partnership into shares of common stock issued by PAMCO. Year 2000 Compliance. The General Partner recognizes that the arrival of the Year 2000 poses a unique challenge to the ability of the computer systems of PCM used to service, manage and collect the portfolios in which the Partnership has an interest, to recognize properly and process date sensitive information related to the date change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. As the century date change occurs, date-sensitive systems may recognize the Year 2000 as 1900, or not at all. This inability to recognize or treat properly the Year 2000 may cause PCM's computer systems to process financial and operational information incorrectly, which could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations. PCM has assessed and begun remedial work relating to PCM's computer software programs and business processes to provide for PCM's ability to continue to function effectively. In 1997, PCM began the process of identifying, evaluating and implementing changes to PCM's computer programs necessary to address the Year 2000 issue. The General Partner is currently addressing the Partnership's internal Year 2000 issue by coordinating with PCM in connection with PCM's modification of existing programs and conversions to new programs. The General Partner is also in communication with financial institutions and other entities with which the Partnership conducts business to help them identify and resolve the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the Partnership's business operations. An assessment of the readiness of those third party institutions and entities with which the Partnership does business is ongoing. While PCM and the General Partner are confident that PCM will complete the assessment and remediation of PCM's computer software, there can be no assurance that the necessary modifications and conversions by those third party institutions and entities with which the Partnership conducts business will be completed in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations. The total cost to the Partnership associated with the required modifications and conversions is not expected to be material to the Partnership's results of operations and financial position and is being expensed as incurred. 13 PART II Item 1.
