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 March  31,  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 March
31, 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 is $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 March 31, 2000,  105,946.96
additional units were admitted representing $10,594,696 of capital contributions
bringing the total admission to 701,131.54 units totaling $70,113,154 in capital
contributions.

     The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted of investments in finance  leases,
operating leases, unguaranteed residual values and a joint venture, representing
65%, 31%, 2% and 2% of total  investments at March 31, 2000,  respectively,  and
68%, 29%, 1% and 2% of total investments at March 31, 1999, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

     For the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 the  Partnership  leased or
financed  additional  equipment and residual  interests  with an initial cost of
$3,458,500. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership leased or
financed additional equipment with an initial cost of $6,889,069.

     Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  were  $3,698,477
representing  an  increase  of  $2,769,784.  The  increase  in revenue  resulted
primarily  from an  increase  in finance  income of  $1,156,143,  an increase in
rental  income of  $1,395,000,  an  increase  in  interest  income  and other of
$148,537 and an increase in income from  investment  in joint  venture  $70,104.
These  increases  resulted  overall  from the  Partnership  continuing  to raise
capital  during  1999 and 2000 and using the  funds to invest in  equipment  and
residuals   resulting  in  increases  in  the  Partnership's   lease  investment
portfolios  during the twelve month period of April 1999 through  March 2000 and
an  increase  in the average  cash  balances in the 2000 period  versus the 1999
period.

     Expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  were  $3,522,121
representing  an  increase of  $2,599,295.  The  increase  in expenses  resulted
primarily from increases in interest expense of $1,399,931, depreciation expense
of $641,086,  amortization of initial direct costs of $245,553,  management fees
of $156,847  and general and  administrative  fees of $80,868.  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 the twelve month period of April 1999
through  March  2000 and higher  levels of  operating  activity  during the 2000
period.

     Net income for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $176,356
and  $5,867,   respectively.   The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership  unit  outstanding  was $.27  and  $.03  for 2000 and 1999  periods,
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March
31,  2000 and 1999 were  capital  contributions,  net of offering  expenses,  of
$9,376,306  and  $11,335,440,  cash provided by  operations  of  $2,020,532  and
$1,346,112  and net  proceeds  received  from  non-recourse  borrowing of $0 and
$4,546,230, respectively. 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 capital contributions,  cash from operations
and additional borrowings.

     Cash distributions to limited partners for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999,  which  were  paid  monthly,  totaled  $1,684,579  and  $414,229,
respectively  of which $174,592 and $5,808 was investment  income and $1,509,987
and $408,421 was a return of capital, respectively.

     As of March 31, 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 the  continued  offering,  operations,  or
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.
