                          Notes to Financial Statements

                               September 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  nine  months  ended  September  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.

                    Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

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
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 totaled  $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.

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,  totaled $60,423 for the nine months
ended  September 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
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                               (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

Item 2.   Management'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
representing 62%, 29%, 9% and 0% at September 30, 1996,  respectively,  and 76%,
15%,  9%  and  less  than  1%  of  total   investment  at  September  30,  1995,
respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

    For the three months ended  September 30, 1995,  the  Partnership  leased or
financed  equipment  with an initial  cost of $110,975 to 5 lessees or equipment
users.

Results of Operations

    Revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 were  $341,799,
representing  an increase of $165,753 or 94% from 1995. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of
equipment  of  $221,279.  Results  were also  affected  by a decrease in finance
income of $26,715,  or 15%, a decrease in income from joint  venture of $23,066,
or 76%,  and a decrease in interest  income of $5,745 or 31% from 1995.  Finance
income  decreased  due to a decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from
1995 to 1996. 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  September  30,  1996  were  $59,838,
representing  a decrease of $57,260 or 49% from 1995.  The  decrease in expenses
was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $39,916. Results
were also affected by a decrease in management fees of $6,426 or 22%, a decrease
in  amortization  of initial  direct  costs of $5,861 or 80% and a  decrease  in
administrative  expense  reimbursements of $6,328 or 21% 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 a decrease in the average
size of the portfolio from 1995 to 1996.

    Net  income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$281,961 and $58,948,  respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $1.41 and $.29 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were net cash  provided by  operations  $991,909 and
$18,867,  respectively,  and  proceeds  from sales of  equipment  of $90,874 and
$679,086,  respectively.  These funds were used to purchase equipment, fund cash
distributions  and make  payments  on  borrowings.  The  Partnership  intends to
continue to purchase additional equipment and fund cash distributions  utilizing
cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of equipment.

    Cash  distributions to limited partners for the three months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $446,558  and  $449,012,
respectively,  of which $279,141 and $58,359 was investment  income and $158,386
and $390,653 was a return of capital,  respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited  partners was 9.00%,  of which 5.63% and 1.17% was
investment  income  and 3.37% and 7.83% 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  September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $2.25, of which $1.41 and $.29 was
investment income and $.84 and $1.96 was a return of capital,  respectively. The
Partnership  had  non-recourse  notes  payable at September 30, 1996 and 1995 of
$1,270,926 and $3,655,885, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 the Partnership leased
or  financed  equipment  with an  initial  cost of  $2,179,971  and  $1,472,660,
respectively,  to 8 and 28 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 was 54 and 53 months, respectively.

Results of Operations

    Revenues  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  were  $976,636,
representing  an increase of $145,455  from 1995.  The  increase in revenues was
primarily  attributable  to an increase in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of
equipment  of  $400,133.  The  increase in revenues  was  partially  offset by a
decrease  in finance  income of $170,086 or 28%, a decrease in income from joint
venture of $65,011 or 62% and a decrease in interest income and other of $19,581
or 27% from 1995. The net gain on sales or  remarketing  of equipment  increased
due to the sale of several  pieces of leased  equipment  for which the  proceeds
received were in excess of the remaining carrying value. The decrease in finance
income  resulted from a decrease in the average size of the portfolio  from 1995
to 1996.  The decrease in interest  income and other resulted from a decrease in
the average cash balance from 1995 to 1996.

    Expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  were  $205,566,
representing  a decrease of $345,237 or 63% from 1995.  The decrease in expenses
was primarily  attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $225,306 or 99%
from 1995.  Results  were also  affected  by a decrease  in  management  fees of
$31,827 or 31%, a decrease in administrative expense reimbursement of $31,607 or
31%, a decrease in  amortization  of initial direct cost of $28,278 or 82% and a
decrease in general and administrative  expense of $28,219 or 34% from 1995. The
decrease  in  interest  expense  was due to the  decrease  in the  average  debt
outstanding  from 1995 to 1996. The decrease in  amortization  of initial direct
costs,   general   and   administrative    expenses,    administrative   expense
reimbursements  and management fees resulted from a decrease in the average size
of the portfolio from 1995 to 1996.

    Net  income  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$771,070 and $280,378, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $3.84 and $1.39 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of  funds  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996 and 1995 were net cash  provided by operations of $2,279,737
and $1,122,354,  respectively,  proceeds from sales of equipment of $593,453 and
$1,375,000, respectively. These funds were used to purchase equipment, fund cash
distributions  and make  payments  on  borrowings.  The  Partnership  intends to
continue to purchase additional equipment and fund cash distributions  utilizing
cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of equipment.

    Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $1,340,433 and $1,348,112,
respectively,  of which $763,359 and $277,574 was investment income and $577,074
and $1,070,538  was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly  annualized
cash  distribution  rate to limited partners was 9.00%, of which 5.13% and 1.85%
was investment income and 3.87% and 7.15% 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 nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $6.75, of which $3.84 and $1.39 was
investment income and $2.91 and $5.36 was a return of capital, respectively.

    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 September 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 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 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.
