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

      The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of a net  investment  in finance
leases,  financings,  equity investment in joint venture and operating leases of
65%, 25%, 10% and 0% of total  investments at June 30, 1996,  respectively,  and
80%, 9%, 11% and 1% of total investments at June 30, 1995, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Results of Operations

      For the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership  leased
or  financed  equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $1,249,690  and  $437,927,
respectively, to 54 and 16 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

      Revenues  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  were  $194,008,
representing  a decrease of $70,948,  or 27% from 1995. The decrease in revenues
was primarily  attributable  to a decrease in finance  income of $49,767 or 25%.
Results were also affected by a decrease in income from joint venture of $24,515
or 63% and a decrease in  interest  income and other of $6,052 or 26% from 1995.
These  decreases  were  partially  offset by an increase in net gain on sales or
remarketing  of  equipment  of $9,386.  The overall  decrease in finance  income
resulted  from the  decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from 1995 to
1996. Net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment increased due to an increase
in the number of leases  maturing,  and the underlying  equipment  being sold or
remarketed  for  which the  proceeds  received  were in excess of the  remaining
carrying  value of the  equipment.  The  decrease in  interest  income and other
resulted from a decrease in the average cash balance from 1995 to 1996.

      Expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  were   $68,344,
representing  a decrease of $138,679 or 67% from 1995.  The decrease in expenses
was primarily  attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $87,731 or 100%
and a decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expense of $21,004 or 51% from
1995. Results were also affected by a decrease in amortization of initial direct
costs of $9,082 or 83%, a decrease in administrative  expense  reimbursements of
$10,316 or 30% and a decrease  in  management  fees of $10,541 or 31% from 1995.
The decrease in interest  expense  resulted  from a decrease in the average debt
outstanding   from  1995  to  1996.   Amortization   of  initial  direct  costs,
administrative  expense  reimbursements and management fees decreased due to the
decrease in the average size of the portfolio from 1995 to 1996.

      Net income for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $125,664
and  $57,933,   respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $.63 and $.29 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 were net cash provided by operations of $885,771 and $413,422,
respectively,  and proceeds  from sales of  equipment of $355,500 and  $485,578,
respectively.  These funds,  along with previously  accumulated excess cash from
operations  and proceeds from sales of equipment,  were used to make payments on
borrowings,   to  fund  cash  distributions  and  to  purchase  equipment.   The
Partnership  intends to continue to purchase  additional  equipment  and to fund
cash  distributions  utilizing cash  accumulated  from prior periods,  cash from
operations and proceeds from sales of equipment.

      Cash  distribution to limited partners for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and  1995,  which  were  paid  monthly,  totalled  $446,558  and  $449,325,
respectively,  of which $124,407 and $57,354 was investment  income and $322,141
and $391,971 was a return of capital,  respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited  partners was 9.00%,  of which 2.51% and 1.15% was
investment  income  and 6.49% and 7.85% was a return of  capital,  respectively,
calculated as a percentage of each partners  initial capital  contribution.  The
limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the three
months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995  was  $2.25,  of which  $.63 and $.29 was
investment income and $1.62 and $1.96 was a return of capital, respectively. The
Partnership  had  non-recourse  notes  payable  at June  30,  1996  and  1995 of
$1,926,122 and $4,681,719, respectively.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Results of Operations

      For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership leased or
financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $2,179,970  and   $1,742,892,
respectively to 54 and 23 lessees or equipment users, respectively, and invested
$1,500,000 in a joint venture in 1995. The weighted average initial  transaction
term  relating  to  these  transactions  for  each  year  was 42 and 55  months,
respectively.

      Revenues  for  the  six  months   ended  June  30,  1996  were   $634,837,
representing  a decrease of $20,298,  or 3% from 1995.  The decrease in revenues
was  primarily  attributable  to a decrease  in finance  income of  $143,371  or
32%from  1995.  Results  were also  affected by a decrease in income from equity
investment  in a joint  venture of $41,945  or 63% and a  decrease  in  interest
income and other of $13,836 or 26% from 1995.  These  decreases  were  partially
offset  by an  increase  in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of
$178,854.  The overall  decrease in finance income resulted from the decrease in
the  average  size of the  portfolio  from  1995 to  1996.  Net gain on sales or
remarketing  of  equipment  increased  due to an  increase  in  renewal  rentals
received and an increase in the number of leases  maturing,  and the  underlying
equipment  being sold or  remarketed  for which the  proceeds  received  were in
excess  of the  remaining  carrying  value of the  equipment.  The  decrease  in
interest  income and other  resulted from a decrease in the average cash balance
from 1995 to 1996.

      Expenses  for  the  six  months   ended  June  30,  1996  were   $145,728,
representing  a decrease of $287,977 or 66% from 1995.  The decrease in expenses
was primarily  attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $185,390 or 96%
and a decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expense of $29,490 or 45% from
1995. Results were also affected by a decrease in amortization of initial direct
costs of $22,417 or 83%, a decrease in administrative  expense reimbursements of
$25,279 or 34% and a decrease  in  management  fees of $25,401 or 35% from 1995.
The decrease in interest  expense  resulted  from a decrease in the average debt
outstanding for 1995 to 1996. General and administrative  expense,  amortization
of initial direct costs,  administrative  expense  reimbursements and management
fees  decreased  due to the decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from
1995 to 1996.


      Net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995 was  $489,109
and  $221,430,  respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $2.44 and $1.10 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary sources of funds for the six months ended June
30,  1996 and 1995  were net cash  provided  by  operations  of  $1,287,828  and
$1,103,487,  respectively,  proceeds  from sales of  equipment  of $684,326  and
$695,914, respectively. These funds were used to make payments on borrowings, to
fund cash distributions and to purchase  equipment.  The Partnership  intends to
continue  to  purchase  additional  equipment  and to  fund  cash  distributions
utilizing cash from operations, proceeds from sales of equipment and borrowings.

      Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and  1995,  which  were  paid  monthly,  totalled  $893,877  and  $899,100,
respectively,  of which $484,218 and $219,216 was investment income and $409,659
and $679,884 was a return of capital,  respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution rate to limited partners was 9.00% for 1996 and 1995, of which 4.88
% and 2.20% was  investment  income and 4.12% and 6.80% 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, 1996 and 1995 was $4.50, of which
$2.44  and  $3.40  was  investment  income  and  $2.06 and $1.10 was a return of
capital, respectively.

                       (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                                 June 30, 1996

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

      On February 3, 1995, the Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series B ("Series B"), and ICON Cash Flow  Partners,  L.P. Six
("L.P.  Six") formed ICON Asset  Acquisition  L.C.C. I ("ICON Asset  Acquisition
LLC") as a special purpose  liability  company.  ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC was
formed for the purpose of acquiring,  managing and  securitizing  a portfolio of
leases.  The Partnership,  Series B and L.P. Six contributed  $1,500,000 (13.39%
interest),   $1,000,000  (8.93%  interest)  and  $8,700,000  (77.68%  interest),
respectively  to  ICON  Asset   Acquisition  LLC.  ICON  Asset  Acquisition  LLC
established a warehouse line of credit with ContiTrade Services Corp.
with a maximum amount available of $20,000,000.

      On February 17, 1995,  ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC  purchased 975 finance
leases  of an  existing  lease  portfolio  from  First  Sierra  Financial,  Inc.
utilizing  $16,273,793  of proceeds  from the  warehouse  line,  $10,857,427  in
contributions  received from the Partnership and affiliates and $723,046 in cash
adjustments at closing,  relating primarily to rents received by the seller from
lessees prior to closing and for the benefit of ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC. The
purchase price of the portfolio totalled  $27,854,266,  the underlying equipment
consists  of graphic  arts and  printing  equipment  and the terms of the leases
range from 12 to 72 months.  ICON Asset Acquisition LLC acquired lease contracts
which  were  less than 60 days  delinquent,  and,  which  met the  Partnership's
overall credit  underwriting  criteria.  The purchase price of the portfolio was
determined by discounting the future contractual cash flows. All such leases are
net leases and are reported and accounted for as finance leases. The Partnership
accounts  for  its  investment  in  ICON  Asset  Acquisition  LLC  as an  equity
investment.

      On September 5, 1995, ICON Asset Acquisition LLC securitized substantially
all of its portfolio. Proceeds from the securitization were used to pay down its
existing line of credit and excess  proceeds  were  returned to the  Partnership
based on its pro rata interest. ICON Asset Acquisition LLC became the beneficial
owner of a trust and the Prudential Insurance Company of America  ("Prudential")
is  treated  as the  lender to the  trust.  The  trustee  for the trust is Texas
Commerce Bank ("TCB"). In conjunction with this  securitization,  the portfolio,
as well as the General Partner's servicing capabilities,  were rated "A" by Duff
& Phelps,  a  nationally  recognized  rating  agency.  The General  Partner,  as
servicer, is responsible for managing, servicing, reporting on and administering
the portfolio.  All monies  received from the portfolio are remitted to TCB. TCB
is  responsible  for  disbursing  to  Prudential  its  respective  principal and
interest and to ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC the excess of cash  collected  over
debt service from the portfolio.  ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC accounts for this
investment  as an  investment  in finance  leases and  financings.  Prudential's
investment  in the trust is  accounted  for as  non-recourse  debt on ICON Asset
Acquisition  LLC's books and  records.  All monies  received and remitted to TCB
from the  securitized  portfolio  are  accounted  for as a reduction  in related
finance  lease and financing  receivables  and all amounts paid to Prudential by
TCB are accounted for as a reduction of non-recourse debt.

      The  Partnership's  Reinvestment  Period expired June 19, 1996, five years
after the Final Closing Date. As such the Partnership has discontinued investing
in  leased  equipment.  The  Partnership  has filed a proxy  statement  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC") on June 17, 1996 for the purpose
of amending the Partnership Agreement in order to extend the Reinvestment Period
for up to four years. On July 26, 1996, the Partnership received comments on its
filing and will be  responding  shortly.  The  Partnership  will continue to pay
monthly cash distributions to limited partners at an annualized rate of 9% until
the proxy filing and  subsequent  vote is finalized.  As always the  Partnership
will  continue  to  evaluate  the  operations  to  determine  the ability of the
Partnership to sustain the current distribution rate.

      As of June 30, 1996, 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.

New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets  and for Long-  Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of,"  which is
effective  beginning in 1996.  The new standard is similar to the  Partnership's
existing  accounting  policies relating to the impairment of estimated  residual
values.  As a result,  adoption of SFAS No. 121 in the first quarter of 1996 had
no impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                 June 30, 1996

                                  (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

   The financial  statements  included herein should be read in conjunction with
the Notes to  Financial  Statements  included in the  Partnership's  1995 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and have been  prepared in  accordance  with the  accounting
policies stated therein.

2. New Accounting Pronouncement

   In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment
of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed  Of," which is
effective beginning in 1996.

   The  Partnership's  existing  policy with respect to  impairment of estimated
residual values is to review,  on a quarterly  basis,  the carrying value of its
residuals on an individual asset basis to determine whether events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable and, therefore, an impairment loss should be recognized.  The events
or changes in circumstances  which generally indicate that the residual value of
an asset has been  impaired are (i) the estimated  fair value of the  underlying
equipment is less than the  Partnership's  carrying  value or (ii) the lessee is
experiencing  financial  difficulties  and it does not  appear  likely  that the
estimated  proceeds from  disposition of the asset will be sufficient to satisfy
the  remaining  obligation  to the  non-recourse  lender  and the  Partnership's
residual  position.  Generally in the latter  situation,  the residual  position
relates to equipment subject to third party non-recourse notes payable where the
lessee remits their rental  payments  directly to the lender and the Partnership
does not recover its residual until the  non-recourse  note obligation is repaid
in full.

   The  Partnership  measures  its  impairment  loss as the  amount by which the
carrying  amount of the  residual  value  exceeds the  estimated  proceeds to be
received by the Partnership from release or resale of the equipment.  Generally,
quoted market  prices are used as the basis for measuring  whether an impairment
loss should be recognized.

   As a result,  the  Partnership's  policy  with  respect  to  measurement  and
recognition of an impairment loss  associated with estimated  residual values is
consistent  with  the  requirements  of  SFAS  No.  121  and,   therefore,   the
Partnership's  adoption of this  Statement  in the first  quarter of 1996 had no
material effect on the financial statements.

3. Redemption of Limited Partnership Units

   The  General  Partner  consented  to the  Partnership  redeeming  330 limited
partnership  units  during the six months ended June 30,  1996.  The  redemption
amount was  calculated  following  the  specific  redemption  formula as per the
Partnership Agreement.  Redeemed units have no voting rights and do not share in
distributions. The Partnership Agreement limits the number of units which can be
redeemed  in any one year  and  redeemed  units  may not be  reissued.  Redeemed
limited partnership units are accounted for as a deduction from partners equity.

4. Investment in Joint Venture

     The  Partnership  Agreement  allows  the  Partnership  to  invest  in joint
ventures  with other  limited  partnerships  sponsored  by the  General  Partner
provided that the  investment  objectives of the joint  ventures are  consistent
with that of the Partnership.

   On February  3, 1995,  the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series B ("Series B"), and ICON Cash Flow  Partners,  L.P. Six
("L.P.  Six") formed ICON Asset  Acquisition  L.C.C. I ("ICON Asset  Acquisition
LLC") as a special purpose  liability  company.  ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC was
formed for the purpose of acquiring,  managing and  securitizing  a portfolio of

interest),   $1,000,000  (8.93%  interest)  and  $8,700,000  (77.68%  interest),
respectively  to  ICON  Asset   Acquisition  LLC.  ICON  Asset  Acquisition  LLC
established a warehouse line of credit with  ContiTrade  Services  Corp.  with a
maximum amount available of $20,000,000.

   On February 17, 1995, ICON Asset Acquisition LLC purchased 975 finance leases
of an existing  lease  portfolio  from First Sierra  Financial,  Inc.  utilizing
$16,273,793 of proceeds from the warehouse  line,  $10,857,427 in  contributions
received from the Partnership and affiliates and $723,046 in cash adjustments at
closing,  relating  primarily to rents received by the seller from lessees prior
to closing and for the benefit of ICON Asset Acquisition LLC. The purchase price
of the portfolio  totalled  $27,854,266,  the underlying  equipment  consists of
graphic arts and printing equipment and the terms of the leases range from 12 to
72 months.  ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC acquired lease contracts which were less
than  60 days  delinquent,  and,  which  met the  Partnership's  overall  credit
underwriting  criteria.  The purchase  price of the portfolio was  determined by
discounting the future  contractual  cash flows.  All such leases are net leases
and are reported and accounted for as finance leases.  The Partnership  accounts
for its investment in ICON Asset Acquisition LLC as an equity investment.

   On September 5, 1995, ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC securitized  substantially
all of its portfolio. Proceeds from the securitization were used to pay down its
existing line of credit and excess  proceeds will be returned to the Partnership
based on its pro rata interest. ICON Asset Acquisition LLC became the beneficial
owner of a trust and the Prudential Insurance Company of America  ("Prudential")
is  treated  as the  lender to the  trust.  The  trustee  for the trust is Texas
Commerce Bank ("TCB"). In conjunction with this  securitization,  the portfolio,
as well as the General Partner's servicing capabilities,  were rated "A" by Duff
& Phelps,  a  nationally  recognized  rating  agency.  The General  Partner,  as
servicer, is responsible for managing, servicing, reporting on and administering
the portfolio.  All monies  received from the portfolio are remitted to TCB. TCB
is  responsible  for  disbursing  to  Prudential  its  respective  principal and
interest and to ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC the excess of cash  collected  over
debt service from the portfolio.  ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC accounts for this
investment  as an  investment  in finance  leases and  financings.  Prudential's
investment  in the trust is  accounted  for as  non-recourse  debt on ICON Asset
Acquisition  LLC's books and  records.  All monies  received and remitted to TCB
from the  securitized  portfolio  are  accounted  for as a reduction  in related
finance  lease and financing  receivables  and all amounts paid to Prudential by
TCB are accounted for as a reduction of non-recourse debt.

   Information  as to the  financial  position and results of operations of ICON
Asset  Acquisition  LLC as of and for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 is
summarized below:

6. Related Party Transactions

   During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the  Partnership  accrued
to the General Partner management fees of $47,532 and $72,933, respectively, and
paid or accrued  administrative  expense  reimbursements of $48,271 and $73,550,
respectively, which were charged to operations.

   The payment of management fees have been deferred since September 1, 1993 and
as of June 30, 1996, $531,636 in management fees have been accrued but not paid.

   Under  the  Partnership  agreement,   the  General  Partner  is  entitled  to
management fees at either 2% or 5% of rents, depending on the type of investment
under  management.  Effective  January 1, 1994, the General  Partner  elected to
reduce  its  management  fees to a flat rate of 2% of rents for all  investments
under management. The foregone management fees, the difference between 2% and 5%
of rents for certain types of investments,  totalled  $41,765 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. These foregone  management fees are not accruable in future
years.

   The  Partnership,  and two affiliates,  Series B and L.P. Six, formed a joint
venture,  ICON  Asset  Acquisition  LLC (See Note 2 for  additional  information
relating to the joint venture).

   There were no acquisition fees paid or accrued by the Partnership for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
