NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.	ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE FUND

Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc. (the “Fund”), was incorporated in Maryland on October 31, 2003 as a nondiversified closed-end management investment company electing status as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") and is managed by Westech Investment Advisors, LLC, formerly known as Westech Investment Advisors, Inc. (“Manager” or “Management”). One hundred percent of the stock of the Fund is held by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the “Company”). Prior to commencing its operations on May 28, 2004, the Fund had no operations other than the sale to the Company of 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value for $25,000 in November 2003. This issuance of stock was a requirement in order to apply for a finance lender's license from the California Commissioner of Corporations,which was obtained by the Fund on April 15, 2004.

In the Manager's opinion, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted; however, the Fund believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of what the results would be for a full year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.


2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, money market funds, and demand deposits in banks with maturities of 90 days or less.

Interest Income

Interest income on loans is recognized using the effective interest method including amounts resulting from the amortization of discounts attributable to equity securities received as part of the loan transaction. Additionally, fees received as part of the transaction are added to the loan discount and amortized over the life of the loan.

Valuation Procedures

The Fund accounts for loans at fair value in accordance with the “Valuation Methods” below. All valuations are determined under the direction of Management, in accordance with these Methods.

The Fund's loans are valued in connection with the issuance of its periodic financial statements, the issuance or

repurchase of the Fund's shares at a price equivalent to the current net asset value per share, and at such other times as required by law. On a quarterly basis, Management will submit to the Board of Directors (“Board”) a “Valuation Report,” which details the rationale for the valuation of investments.

Valuation Methods

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the financial statements include nonmarketable investments ($15,393,678 and $19,646,112 or approximately 61% and 69% of total assets, respectively), with fair values determined by the Manager in the absence of readily determinable market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of these valuations, estimated fair values of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Below is the information used by the Manager in making these estimates.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. There is no secondary market for the loans, hence Management determines fair value based on hypothetical markets. Venture loans are generally held to maturity and are recorded at estimated fair value. Management determines whether to adjust the estimated fair value of a loan based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the borrower's payment history, available cash and “burn rate,” revenues, net income or loss, the likelihood that the borrower will be able to secure additional financing in the future, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment. The amount of any valuation adjustment is determined based upon a credit analysis of the borrower and an analysis of the expected recovery from the borrower, including consideration of factors such as the nature and quality of the Fund's security interests in collateral, the estimated value of the Fund's collateral, the size of the loan, and the estimated time that will elapse before the Fund achieves a recovery.

Money market funds held as Cash and Cash Equivalents are valued at their most recently posted net asset value, if available, or at amortized cost, provided such amount is not materially different from quoted price.

Warrants and Stock

Warrants and stock that are received in connection with loan transactions generally will be assigned a fair value at the time of acquisition. These securities are then distributed by the Fund to the Company at the assigned value. Warrants are valued based on a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account underlying estimated stock value, expected term, volatility, and risk-free interest rate, among other factors. Warrants are typically distributed immediately upon receipt to the Company.

Nonaccrual Loans

The Fund's policy is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when the loan stops performing and Management deems that it is unlikely that the loan will return to performing status. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed for the quarter in which the loan was placed on nonaccrual status. Any uncollected interest related to quarters prior to when the loan was placed on nonaccrual status is added to the principal balance, and the aggregate balance of the principal and interest is evaluated in accordance with the policy for valuation of loans in determining Management's best estimate of fair value. Interest received by the Fund on nonaccrual loans will be recorded on a cash basis.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans with a cost basis of $21.6 million and $22.2 million and a fair value of $8.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, have been classified as nonaccrual.

Commitment Fees

Unearned income and commitment fees on loans are recognized using the effective-interest method over the term of the loan. Commitment fees are carried as liabilities when received for commitments upon which no draws have been made. When the first draw is made, the fee is treated as unearned income and is recognized as described

above. If a draw is never made, the commitment fee less any applicable legal costs becomes recognized as other income after the commitment expires.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), and requires additional disclosure related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements with respect to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and requires entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years). The adoption of ASU

2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

Tax Status

As long as the Fund qualifies as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”), it will not pay any federal or state corporate income tax on income that is distributed to its shareholder (pass-through status). Should the Fund not qualify as a RIC or lose its RIC status, it could be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year (even if that income is distributed to its shareholder), and all distributions out of its earnings and profits would be taxable to its shareholder as ordinary income. As of March 31, 2011, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions.

The Fund's tax years open to examination by major jurisdictions are 2007 and forward.


3.	SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS

Loans generally are made to borrowers pursuant to commitments whereby the Fund agrees to finance assets and provide working capital up to a specified amount for the term of the commitments, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified by such commitment. As of March 31, 2011, the Fund's investments in loans are primarily to companies based within the United States and are diversified among borrowers in the industries shown below. The percentage of net assets that each industry group represents is shown with the industry totals below (the sum of the percentages does not equal 100 percent because the percentages are based on net assets as opposed to total loans).

The Fund defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability was exchanged in an orderly transaction; it was not a forced liquidation or distressed sale.

Loan balances are summarized by borrower. Typically a borrower's balance will be composed of several loans drawn under a commitment made by the Fund with the interest rate on each loan fixed at the time each loan is funded. Each loan drawn under a commitment has a different maturity date and amount. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the weighted average interest rate on performing loans was 19.18% and 15.60%, respectively. Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors, including volatility and early payoffs.

Loans as of March 31, 2011 are to non-affiliates and consist of the following:

* As of December 31, 2010, loans with a cost basis of $22.2 million and a fair value of $7.1 million have been classified as non-accrual. These loans have been accelerated from original maturity and are due in their entirety. During the period for which these loans have been on non-accrual status, no interest income has been recognized.

The Fund provides asset-based financing primarily to start-up and emerging growth venture-capital-backed companies. These loans are generally secured by assets of the borrowers. As a result, the Fund is subject to general credit risk associated with such companies.

Valuation Hierarchy

The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Fund's valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:



Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2		Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3		Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The Fund's cash equivalents were valued at the net asset value of the money market fund. As a result, these measurements are classified as Level 1. The Fund uses estimated exit values when determining the value of its investments. Because these transactions are individually negotiated and unique, and there is no market in which these assets trade, the inputs for these assets, which are discussed in the Valuation Methods listed above, are classified as Level 3.

The following table presents the balances of assets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



As of March 31, 2011	Level 1		Level 3		Total

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of potential common shares (e.g., stock options). The Fund has no instruments that would be potential common shares; thus, reported basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

5. CAPITAL STOCK

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, and 100,000 shares issued and outstanding. Total committed capital of the Company is $250.0 million. Total contributed capital to the Fund as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $245.0 million.

The chart below shows the distributions of the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.



	For the Three Months Ended		For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2011		March 31, 2010
Cash distributions	$	5,000,000	$	21,800,000
Distributions of securities	423,481		167,992

Total distributions to shareholder	$	5,423,481	$	21,967,992

Final classification of the distributions as either a return of capital or a distribution of income is an annual determination made at the end of each year dependent upon the Fund's current year and cumulative earnings and profits.

6. OTHER INVESTMENT

In 2009, the Fund repossessed the collateral from a borrower who was having financial difficulties. At the time of the repossession, the loan from the borrower had a cost basis of $2,433,298 and a book value of $1,213,298. The repossessed assets were immediately contributed to a newly formed LLC (Sensors Licensing, LLC, “SL LLC”) in conjunction with a licensing agreement between SL LLC and an unaffiliated third party. The Fund and Venture Lending & Leasing V, Inc. each have a 50% ownership interest in SL LLC.

At the time the assets were contributed to SL LLC they were valued at $1,750,000 based on expectations of cash flows from the licensing arrangement. The Fund took a realized loss on the loan in the amount of $1,558,298 at the time the transaction was consummated in 2009. The realized loss is the difference between the Fund's portion of the value of the assets repossessed and the book value of $2,433,298.

SL LLC collected $200,000 and distributed $100,000 to the Fund. The unaffiliated third party cancelled the licensing agreement in 2009. SL LLC continues to distribute proceeds from the sale of equipment as cash becomes available.

Because the collateral is highly customized and no current buyer or lessee has been identified, the Fund had taken a $735,000 fair market reduction in 2009, which represents the difference between the previously determined fair value, the collections to date, and the expected liquidation value of the assets should no buyer or lessee be found. The Fund's portion of the expected liquidation value of the asset as of March 31, 2011 is $24,791.

7. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of financial highlights of the Fund for the periods presented, the three months ended March 31, 2011. The total rate of return is defined as the return based on the change in value during the period of a theoretical investment made at the beginning of the period. The total rate of return assumes a constant rate of return for the Fund during the period reported and weights each cash flow by the amount of time held in the Fund. This required methodology differs from an internal rate of return.

The ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, calculated below, are annualized and are computed based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented. Net

investment income is inclusive of all investment income net of expenses, and excludes realized or unrealized gains and losses.

Beginning and ending net asset values per share are based on the beginning and ending number of shares outstanding. Other per share information is calculated based upon the aggregate weighted average net assets of the Fund for the periods presented.

The following per share data and ratios have been derived from the information provided in the financial statements:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. These forward-looking statements reflect the current view of Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc. (the “Fund”) with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Fund's control. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this report, regarding strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of the Fund are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “will”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. The Fund does not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

General

The Fund is 100% owned by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (the “Company”). The Fund's shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value were sold to its shareholder under a stock purchase agreement. The Fund has issued 100,000 of the Fund's 10,000,000 authorized shares. The Fund's shareholder may make additional capital contributions to the Fund.

In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. The reader of this Quarterly Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Fund's actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments and competition. This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Fund's business.

Overview

The Fund is a financial services company primarily providing financing and advisory services to a variety of carefully selected venture-backed companies primarily located throughout the United States with a focus on growth oriented companies. The Fund's portfolio is well diversified and consists of companies in the communications, information services, media, and technology, including software and technology-enabled business services, bio-technology, and medical devices industry sectors, among others. The Fund's capital is generally used by our portfolio companies to finance acquisitions of fixed assets and/or for working capital. On May 28, 2004, the Fund completed its first closing of capital contributions, made its first investments, and became a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code with the filing of its federal corporate income tax return for 2004. Pursuant to this election, the Fund generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income it distributes to the stockholder as dividends, allowing the Fund's shareholder to substantially reduce or eliminate its corporate-level tax liability.

The Fund will seek to meet the ongoing requirements, including the diversification requirements, to qualify as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements, it would be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year (even if that income were distributed to the Company) and all distributions out of its earnings and profits would be taxable to the Members of the Company as ordinary income; thus, such income would be subject to a double layer of tax. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet the ongoing requirements to qualify as a RIC for tax purposes.

The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total return. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by providing debt financing to portfolio companies. Since inception, the Fund's investing activities have focused primarily on private debt securities. The Fund generally receives warrants to acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments. The Fund generally distributes these warrants to its shareholder upon receipt. The Fund also has guidelines for the percentages of total assets which will be invested in different types of assets.

The portfolio investments of the Fund consist of debt financing to early and late stage venture capital backed technology companies. The borrower's ability to repay its loans may be adversely impacted by a number of factors, and as a result, the loan may not fully be repaid. Furthermore, the Fund's security interest in any collateral over the borrower's assets may be insufficient to make up any shortfall in payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

We identified the most critical accounting principles upon which our financial statements depend and determined the critical accounting principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The two critical accounting policies relate to the valuation of loans and treatment of non-accrual loans.

Loans are held at estimated fair value as determined by Management, in accordance with the valuation methods described in the valuation of loans section of Note 2 of the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). Critical factors in determining the fair value of a loan include payment history, collateral position, financial strength of the borrower, prospects for the borrower's raising future equity rounds, likelihood of sale or acquisition of the borrower, and length of expected holding period of the loan, as well as an evaluation of the general interest rate environment. The actual value of the loans may differ from Management's estimates which would affect net income as well as assets.

Results of Operations - For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of interest on venture loans outstanding during the period. The remaining income consisted of interest and dividends on the temporary investment of cash and late fees. The decrease in investment income is a result of the Fund no longer funding new loans and the existing portfolio continues to pay down. Average performing loans decreased to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $58.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This was partially offset by increasing interest rates, as average interest rates increased to 19.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 15.60% for the three months March 31, 2010. Interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and rates earned by the Fund will fluctuate based on many factors including, volatility and early payoffs.

Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Management fees are based on assets under management, and decreased due to the decrease in assets under management relative to the previous year.

Total banking and professional fees was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease for the period was primarily related to a decrease in credit insurance fees and banking fees resulting from the elimination of the credit facility.

The total other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were less than $0.1 million and did not materially change.

Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Total net realized loss from investments was $0.5 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The realized losses consist of write offs, net of recoveries of previously written off uncollectible loans.

Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from investments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $2.2 million and $(1.5) million, respectively. The unrealized gain (loss) consists of fair market value adjustments of loans.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $2.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. On a per share basis, net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $23.78 and $2.31 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - March 31, 2011

Total capital contributed to the Fund was $245.0 million, prior to the distribution of capital, as of March 31, 2011. Committed capital to the Company at March 31, 2011 was $250.0 million, all of which had been called.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 39% and 30% of the Fund's assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The Fund has no unexpired unfunded commitments and does not anticipate funding any additional loans. Net loan amounts outstanding after amortization and fair market adjustments decreased by approximately $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011.



As of	Cumulative Amount Disbursed	Principal Reductions and Fair Market Adjustment	Balance Outstanding - Fair Value	Unexpired Unfunded Commitments
March 31, 2011	$934.5 million	$919.1 million	$15.4 million	$0
December 31, 2010	$934.5 million	$914.9 million	$19.6 million	$0

The Fund seeks to meet the requirements to qualify for the special pass-through status available to RICs under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized capital gains that it distributes to its shareholder. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must distribute to its shareholder for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term capital gain) (“Distribution Requirement”). To the extent that the terms of the Fund's venture loans provide for the receipt by the Fund of additional interest at the end of the loan term or provide for the receipt by the Fund of a purchase price for the asset at the end of the loan term (“residual income”), the Fund would be required to accrue such residual income over the life of the loan, and to include such accrued income in its gross income for each taxable year even if it receives no portion of such residual income in that year. Thus, in order to meet the Distribution Requirement and avoid payment of income taxes or an excise tax on undistributed income, the Fund may be required in a particular year to distribute as a dividend an amount in excess of the total amount of income it actually receives. Those distributions will be made from the Fund's cash assets, from amounts received through amortization of loans or from borrowed funds.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Fund's business activities contain elements of risk. The Fund considers the principal types of market risk to be interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund considers the management of risk essential to conducting its business and to maintaining profitability. Accordingly, the Fund's risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze the Fund's risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

The Fund anticipates managing its credit risk by maintaining a portfolio that is diverse by industry, size of investment, stage of development, and borrower. The Fund has limited exposure to public market price fluctuations as the Fund primarily invests in private business enterprises and the Fund generally distributes all equity securities upon receipt to the Company.

The Fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is regularly monitored and analyzed by measuring the characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Fund utilizes various methods to assess interest rate risk in terms of the potential effect on interest income net of interest expense, the value of net assets and the value at risk in an effort to ensure that the Fund is insulated from any significant adverse effects from changes in interest rates.

Based on the model used for the sensitivity of interest income net of interest expense, if the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have affected net income by less than $0.1 million. This translates to less than 1% of income for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Although Management believes that this measure is indicative of the Fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes, it makes estimates to adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them of any material information relating to the Fund that is required to be disclosed by the Fund in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Changes in Internal Controls:

There were no changes in the Fund's internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
