                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                  June 30, 1997

                                   (unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

   The financial  statements  of ICON Cash Flow  Partners,  L.P.,  Series A (the
"Partnership")  have been prepared  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  (the  "SEC")  and,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement  of income  for each  period  shown.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC rules and  regulations.
Management  believes  that  the  disclosures  made  are  adequate  to  make  the
information  represented not misleading.  The results for the interim period are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results for the full year.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.    General Partner Loan

   In  February  1995 and March  1995,  the  General  Partner  lent  $75,000 and
$100,000,  respectively,  to the  Partnership.  Principal  on the loans  will be
repaid only after the extended  Reinvestment  Period  expires,  and, the limited
partners have received at least a 6% return on their  capital.  These notes bear
interest at the lower of 6% or prime.  Interest on the loans will be paid if the
Partnership determines that there are sufficient funds available.

3.    Related Party Transactions

   During the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 the  Partnership  paid or
accrued  to the  General  Partner  management  fees of  $1,344  and  $2,170  and
administrative expense reimbursements of $2,377 and $3,821, respectively.  These
fees and reimbursements were charged to operations.

   The payment of management fees have been deferred since September 1, 1993 and
as of June 30, 1997, $36,873 in management fees have been accrued but not paid.

   Under the original Partnership agreement, the General Partner was entitled to
management fees at either 2% or 5% of rents, depending on the type of investment
under  management.  In conjunction  with the  solicitation  to amend the Limited
Partnership Agreement,  effective, January 31, 1995, the General Partner reduced
its  management  fees to a flat  rate of 1% of rents for all  investments  under
management.  The  General  Partner  previously  reduced its  management  fees on
January  1,  1994 to a flat  rate  of 2%.  The  foregone  management  fees,  the
difference  between  the  flat  rate  (1%)  and  the  allowable  rates  per  the
Partnership  Agreement  (2% or 5%) of rents for  certain  types of  investments,
totaled $2,661 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These foregone management
fees are not accruable in future years.

   There were no acquisition fees paid or accrued by the Partnership for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

   In 1997 and 1996 the  Partnership  accrued $5,250 in interest due the General
Partner related to notes payable with the General Partner (see Note 2).

                                  June 30, 1997

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

     The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted of a net investment in financings,
finance  leases and operating  leases  representing  86%,14% and less than 1% of
total investments at June 30, 1997, respectively,  and 78%, 22% and less than 1%
of total investments at June 30, 1996, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

   Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $19,094,  representing
a  decrease  of  $45,466  or  70%  from  1996.  The  decrease  in  revenues  was
attributable  to a decrease in net gain on sales or  remarketing of equipment of
$38,139 or 75%, a decrease in finance  income of $6,705 or 55% and a decrease in
interest  income and other of $622 or 40%. Net gain on sales or  remarketing  of
equipment  decreased due to a decrease in the renewal rentals received in excess
of  estimated  unguaranteed  residual  values.  The  decrease in finance  income
resulted from a decrease in the average size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997.
The  decrease  in  interest  income and other  resulted  from a decrease  in the
collection of late charges.

   Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $13,563,  representing
a decrease of $6,386 or 32% from 1996. The decrease in expenses was attributable
to a decrease in general and administrative expense of $4,471 or 32%, a decrease
in  interest  expense  of $793 or 23%,  a  decrease  in  administrative  expense
reimbursements of $713 or 40%, and a decrease in management fees of $409 or 40%.
General and administrative  expense,  administrative  expense reimbursements and
management fees decreased due to a decrease in the average size of the portfolio
from 1996 to 1997. The decrease in interest  expense resulted from a decrease in
the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997.

   Net income for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $5,441 and
$44,521,  respectively.  The net income per weighted average limited partnership
unit was $1.03 and $8.44 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

   Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $53,456,  representing a
decrease of $66,405 or 55% from 1996. The decrease in revenues was  attributable
to a decrease in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of $49,874 or
56%, a decrease  in finance  income of $14,385 or 54% and a decrease in interest
income and other of $2,146 or 51%. Net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
decreased  due to a  decrease  in the  renewal  rentals  received  in  excess of
estimated  unguaranteed residual values. The decrease in finance income resulted
from a decrease  in the average  size of the  portfolio  from 1996 to 1997.  The
decrease in interest income and other resulted from a decrease in the collection
of late charges.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

   Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $21,241,  representing a
decrease of $16,680 or 44% from 1996. The decrease in expenses was  attributable
to a  decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expense  of  $10,455 or 46%, a
decrease  in  interest  expense of $3,955 or 43%, a decrease  in  administrative
expense  reimbursements  of $1,444 or 38%, and a decrease in management  fees of
$826 or 38%  from  1996.  General  and  administrative  expense,  administrative
expense  reimbursements and management fees decreased due to the decrease in the
average  size of the  portfolio  from 1996 to 1997.  The  decrease  in  interest
expense  resulted from a decrease in the average debt  outstanding  from 1996 to
1997.

   Net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996 was  $32,215 and
$81,940,  respectively.  The net income per weighted average limited partnership
unit was $6.11 and $15.54 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Partnership's  primary sources of funds for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were net cash  provided by  operations  of $127,251 and  $154,129,
respectively,  and proceeds  from sales of  equipment  of $41,541 and  $111,283,
respectively.  These  funds  were  used to fund cash  distributions  and to make
payments  on   borrowings.   The   Partnership   intends  to  fund  future  cash
distributions  utilizing  cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of
equipment.

   In  February  1995 and March  1995,  the  General  Partner  lent  $75,000 and
$100,000,  respectively,  to the  Partnership.  Principal  on the loans  will be
repaid only after the extended  Reinvestment  Period  expires,  and, the limited
partners receive their minimum return. These notes bear interest at the lower of
6% or prime.  Interest on the loans will be paid if the  Partnership  determines
that there are sufficient funds available.

   Cash distributions to limited partners for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996,  which were paid  quarterly,  totaled  $112,702,  of which $30,604 and
$77,843 was  investment  income and $82,098 and $34,860 was a return of capital,
respectively.  The  quarterly  annualized  cash  distribution  rate  to  limited
partners was 9.00%, of which 2.44% and 6.22% was investment income and 6.56% and
2.78% was a return of capital, respectively,  calculated as a percentage of each
partner's  initial capital  contribution.  The limited partner  distribution per
weighted  average  unit  outstanding  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 was $22.50,  of which $6.11 and $15.54 was investment income and $16.39 and
$6.96 was a return of capital, respectively.

   As of June 30,  1997,  except as noted  above,  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,  sales of
equipment and borrowings,  the Partnership  will 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 as they become due.
