AIC Trust

     During  1999,  ICON  Cash Flow  Partners  L.P.  Seven  ("L.P.  Seven"),  an
affiliate  of the  Partnership,  acquired a portfolio  of  equipment  leases for
$6,854,830. Subsequently, L.P. Seven sold interests in this portfolio at various
dates in 1999 to ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P.  Six"), an affiliate of
the  Partnership,  for $1,750,000 and to the  Partnership for $3,000,000 at book
value,  which  approximated  fair market value at the dates of sale.  L.P. Seven
recognized no gain or loss on the sale of these  interests to either L.P. Six or
to the Partnership.

     As a result of the sales of these  interests,  as of September 30, 2000 the
Partnership  and L.P. Six owned interests  aggregating  43.73% and 25.51% in the
lease portfolio with L.P. Seven owning a 30.76% interest at that date. The lease
portfolio  is owned and  operated as a joint  venture  ("AIC  Trust").  Profits,
losses,  excess  cash and  disposition  proceeds  are  allocated  based upon the
Partnerships'   percentage   ownership  interests  in  the  venture  during  the
respective  periods  the  Partnerships  held  such  interests.  The  Partnership
accounts for its investment under the equity method of accounting.

     Information  as  to  the  unaudited   financial  position  and  results  of
operations  of the  venture  as of and  for the  period  of  investment  through
September 30, 2000 is summarized below:

ICON Boardman Funding L.L.C.

     In  December  1998 the  Partnership  and three  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series C ("Series  C"),  L.P.  Six and L.P.  Seven formed ICON
Boardman  Funding L.L.C.  ("ICON BF"), for the purpose of acquiring a lease with
Portland  General  Electric.  The purchase  price totaled  $27,421,810,  and was
funded  with cash and  non-recourse  debt  assumed in the  purchase  price.  The
Partnership,  Series C, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven  received a 98.5%,  .5%, .5% and
 .5% interest,  respectively,  in ICON BF. The Partnership's financial statements
include 100% of the assets and  liabilities  of ICON BF.  Series C, L.P. Six and
L.P. Seven's  investments in ICON BF have been reflected as "minority  interests
in joint venture."  Simultaneously  with the acquisition of the Portland General
Electric  lease by ICON BF, the rent in excess of the senior debt  payments  was
acquired by L.P.  Six for  $3,801,108.  No gain or loss was  recognized  on this
transaction.

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

     The  Partnership,  was  formed  on  July  9,  1997  as a  Delaware  limited
partnership. The Partnership's maximum offering was $75,000,000. The Partnership
commenced  business  operations on its initial  closing date,  October 14, 1998,
with  the  admission  of  12,000  limited  partnership  units  at $100  per unit
representing  $1,200,000 of capital contributions.  Between October 15, 1998 and
December 31, 1999,  583,184.58 units were admitted  representing  $58,318,458 of
capital contributions. Between January 1, 2000 and May 17, 2000, the date of the
final closing of the Partnership's  offering,  154,780.46  additional units were
admitted representing  $15,478,042 of capital  contributions  bringing the total
admission to 749,965.04 units totaling $74,996,504 in capital contributions.  At
the end of September 30, 2000, total units outstanding amounted to 748,685.04 as
a result of two third quarter 2000 recision transactions involving 1,280 units.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     Revenues  for the three  months ended  September  30, 2000 were  $4,066,633
representing an increase of $1,745,738 over the three month total for the period
ended  September 30, 1999.  The increase in revenues  resulted from increases in
rental income of $1,509,083,  finance income of $141,354, income from investment
in joint  venture of $48,311 and  interest  income and other of  $46,990.  These
increases resulted from the Partnership  continuing to raise capital during 1999
and 2000 and using the funds to invest in  equipment  resulting  in increases in
the Partnership's lease investment  portfolios.  The increase in interest income
and other  resulted  from an increase in the average  cash  balances in the 2000
period versus the 1999 period.

     Expenses  for the three  months ended  September  30, 2000 were  $4,018,255
representing an increase of $2,064,982 over the three month total for the period
ended  September 30, 1999.  The increase  resulted  primarily  from increases in
interest  expense of  $789,351,  depreciation  of $664,475,  management  fees of
$364,809,  administrative expense of $178,021 and amortization of initial direct
costs of $101,355. The increase in interest expense is due to an increase in the
average  debt  outstanding  from 1999 to 2000.  The  increase in all other noted
expense  categories is due to the overall increases in the  Partnership's  lease
investment  portfolios resulting from equipment acquisition activity during 1999
through  September 2000 and higher levels of operating  activity during the 2000
period.

     Net income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
$48,378 and $367,622,  respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership  unit  outstanding  was $.06 and  $0.82  for 2000 and 1999  periods,
respectively.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     Revenues  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  were   $11,489,417
representing  an  increase of  $5,866,959  from 1999.  The  increase in revenues
resulted  from  increases  in rental  income of  $4,299,083,  finance  income of
$1,073,516,  interest  income of $313,707  and income from  investment  in joint
venture of $180,653. These increases resulted from the Partnership continuing to
raise  capital  during 1999 and 2000 and using the funds to invest in  equipment
resulting in increases in the  Partnership's  lease investment  portfolios.  The
increase in interest  income and other  resulted from an increase in the average
cash balances in the 2000 period versus the 1999 period.

     Expenses  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  were   $11,241,214
representing  an  increase of  $6,364,450  from 1999.  The  increase in expenses
resulted   primarily   from   increases  in  interest   expense  of  $2,929,811,
depreciation expense of $1,970,036, management fees of $730,867, amortization of
initial direct costs of $464,922, administrative expense of $328,337 and general
and administrative expense of $127,919. These increases were partially offset by
a decrease in the provision for bad debts of $185,000.  The increase in interest
expense is due to an increase in the average debt outstanding from 1999 to 2000.
The  increase  in all  other  noted  expense  categories  is due to the  overall
increases  in the  Partnership's  lease  investment  portfolios  resulting  from
equipment  acquisition  activity  during 1999 through  September 2000 and higher
levels of  operating  activity  during  the 2000  period.  The  decrease  in the
provision  for bad debts was the result of  determinations  made of the level of
reserves required during the 1999 and 2000 periods.

     Net  income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
$248,203 and $745,694, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit outstanding was $.35 and $2.28 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000  and  1999  were  capital  contributions,  net of  offering
expenses,  of $13,584,791 in 2000 and  $30,916,098 in 1999, and cash provided by
operations of  $8,369,336 in 2000.  These funds were used to purchase or finance
equipment   investments,   to  make  payments  on   borrowings   and  fund  cash
distributions.  The  Partnership  intends to continue to purchase  equipment and
fund  cash   distributions   utilizing  funds  from  operations  and  additional
borrowings.

     Cash distributions to limited partners for the nine months ended September,
2000 and 1999,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $5,624,269  and  $2,262,516,
respectively.

     As  of  September   30,  2000  there  were  no  known  trends  or  demands,
commitments,  events or  uncertainties,  which are  likely to have any  material
effect  on  liquidity.  As cash  is  realized  from  operations  and  additional
borrowings,  the  Partnership  will  continue to invest in equipment  leases and
financings  where it deems it to be prudent while  retaining  sufficient cash to
meet its reserve requirements and recurring obligations.
