Summary of significant accounting policies: Interim financial statements: The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the general partners, necessary to a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent report on Form 10K. 2. Organization and partnership matters: ATEL Cash Distribution Fund IV, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws of the State of California on September 19, 1991, for the purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities. Contributions in the aggregate of $600 were received as of October 8, 1991, $100 of which represented the General Partner's continuing interest, and $500 of which represented the Initial Limited Partners' capital investment. Upon the sale of the minimum amount of Units of Limited Partnership interest (Units) of $1,200,000 and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on March 6, 1992, the Partnership commenced operations. The Partnership or the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, will incur costs in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the Units. The amount of such costs to be born by the Partnership is limited by certain provisions in the Partnership Agreement. As of February 3, 1993, the Partnership had received subscriptions for 7,500,000 Limited Partnership Units ($75,000,000) in addition to the Initial Limited Partners' 50 Units. Of those subscriptions, 7,487,350 Units ($74,873,500) were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 1998. The Partnership's business consists of leasing various types of equipment. As of March 31, 1998, the original terms of the Partnership's leases were from two to ten years. ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND IV, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 (Unaudited) 3.

Investment in leases (continued): At March 31, 1998, the aggregate amounts of future minimum lease payments are as follows: Year ending Operating Direct Financing December 31, Leases Leases Total 1998 $2,462,665 $2,573,178 $5,035,843 1999 2,572,260 2,579,270 5,151,530 2000 1,750,247 1,652,153 3,402,400 2001 1,197,605 1,128,109 2,325,714 2002 859,085 557,077 1,416,162 Thereafter 627,633 23,660 651,293 ----------------- ---------------- --------------- $9,469,495 $8,513,447 $17,982,942 ================= ================ =============== 4. Non-recourse debt: Notes payable to financial institutions are due in varying monthly, quarterly and semi-annual installments of principal and interest. The notes are secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of the assets which were purchased with the proceeds of the particular notes. Interest rates on the notes vary from 6.81% to 11.2%. Future minimum principal payments of non-recourse debt are as follows: Year ending December 31, Principal Interest Total 1998 $1,744,263 $326,625 $2,070,888 1999 2,045,296 287,129 2,332,425 2000 1,535,205 151,656 1,686,861 2001 697,282 56,062 753,344 2002 356,930 22,731 379,661 ----------------- ---------------- --------------- $6,378,976 $844,203 $7,223,179 ================= ================ =============== ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND IV, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 (Unaudited) 5. Related party transactions: The terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partner and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Partnership. The General Partner and/or Affiliates earned the following fees, commissions and reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement as follows:
1998 1997 ---- ---- Incentive management fees (computed as 5% of distributions of cash from operations, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) and equipment management fees (computed as 5% of gross revenues from operating leases, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement plus 2% of gross revenues from full payout leases, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement). $110,081 $205,025 Administrative costs reimbursed to General Partner 78,798 69,901 --------------- --------------- $188,879 $274,926 =============== ===============
6. Line of credit: The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its Affiliates in a $90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions which expires on October 28, 1998. The agreement includes an acquisition facility to be used by the Partnership and Affiliates to provide bridge financing for assets on leases. Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by that borrower's assets, including equipment and related leases. The Partnership had no borrowings under the agreement during 1998. The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants applicable to each borrower. The Partnership was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 1998. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity During 1998, the Partnership's primary source of liquidity was rents from operating leases. During 1997, the Partnership's primary source of liquidity was proceeds from sales of lease assets. The liquidity of the Partnership will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases exceed expenses and proceeds from lease asset sales, and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the limited partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and proceeds from lease asset sales. As another source of liquidity, the Partnership has contractual obligations with a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As the initial lease terms expire the Partnership will re-lease or sell the equipment. The future liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will depend on the General Partner's success in re-leasing or selling the equipment as it comes off lease. The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its affiliates in a $90,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit expires on October 28, 1997. The Partnership anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the General Partner and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Partners. The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Partnership would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements. The General Partners envision no such requirements for operating purposes. Through March 31, 1998, the Partnership had borrowed approximately $38,342,000 with a remaining unpaid balance of approximately $6,379,000. Borrowings are to be generally non-recourse to the Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender for a default by the lessee on the underlying lease will be to the equipment or corresponding lease acquired with the loan proceeds. The General Partners expect that aggregate borrowings in the future will not exceed 40% of aggregate equipment cost. In any event, the Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 40% of the total cost of equipment, in aggregate. No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for the acquisition of additional equipment. At March 31, 1998, such commitments totaled approximately $804,000. If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the Partnership inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the Partnership's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the Partnership's revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation. If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Partnership can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates. The Partnership made distributions of cash from 1998 first quarter operations in February, March and April 1998. The amount of the distributions totaled $.35 per Unit. This was paid in either monthly amounts of $.11667 per Unit or in one quarterly payment of $.35 per Unit in April 1998. These distributions are equal to an annualized distribution rate of 14%. Rents from operating leases were the primary sources of cash flows from operations in the first quarter of both 1998 and 1997. The amounts of such rents decreased from 1997 to 1998 by $1,391,484. Sources of cash from investing activities in 1997 and 1998 consisted primarily of the proceeds of the sales of lease assets and cash flows from direct financing leases. Proceeds from the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one period to another. Cash flows from direct financing leases decreased by $63,031. Lease rents have declined due to lease terminations and sales of assets. In the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, there were no financing sources of cash flows. Repayments of non-recourse debt have decreased due to certain of the notes payable being paid off over the last year. These note payoffs resulted from both scheduled debt payments in 1997 and 1998 and unscheduled debt payments in 1997. Results of Operations Operations in the first quarter of 1998 resulted in net income of $349,044 compared to $674,840 in 1997. Operating lease revenues and the related depreciation expense have decreased as a result of asset sales over the last year. Sales of these assets were not significant in the first quarter of 1998, compared to 1997 and the amounts of gains recognized on those sales has declined as a consequence. Some of the assets sold had been financed with non-recourse debt. Upon those sales, the Partnership was relieved of the related debt. As a result of this and scheduled debt payments, interest expense has been reduced compared to 1997. Management fees are related to the Partnership's revenues and have declined as a result of the decreases in those revenues. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Inapplicable. Item 2.
