                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1997

                                   (unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated  financial  statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,
Series D (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
consolidated 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
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.    Security Deposits and Deferred Credits

      Security  deposits and deferred credits at September 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996 include $1,483,888 and $219,646,  respectively, of proceeds received on
residuals which will be applied upon final remarketing of the related equipment.

3.    Related Party Transactions

      During the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
paid or accrued to the General Partner management fees of $422,319 and $548,945,
respectively,   and  administrative   expense  reimbursements  of  $206,327  and
$236,206,   respectively.   These  fees  and  reimbursements   were  charged  to
operations.

      Included in the Partnership's acquisitions for the year ended December 31,
1996 is a financing transaction for $8,756,291.  This transaction represents the
financing  of free cash and first  priority  rights of the first  $4,000,000  of
residual proceeds from the eventual sale of the equipment related to a leveraged
lease.  The free cash results from lease rental  payments being greater than the
debt  payments.  The financing is secured by the  underlying  equipment,  a 1986
McDonnell  Douglas  DC-10-30F  aircraft,  currently on lease to Federal  Express
Corp.  In August 1996 ICON Cash Flow  Partners  L.P.  Seven ("L.P.  Seven"),  an
affiliate of the  Partnership,  acquired the residual  interest in the leveraged
lease and assumed the related  outstanding  non-recourse  debt.  In January 1997
L.P. Seven  re-financed  the free cash and  $2,000,000 of its residual  position
with a third party. As a result of this re-financing,  the Partnership  received
proceeds of $7,221,452 and reduced its interest in the investment.

      On June 5, 1997, the Partnership  borrowed  $3,500,000 from ICON Cash Flow
Partners, L.P., Series E ("Series E"), an affiliate of the Partnership,  for the
purpose of  acquiring  two Boeing  DHC-8-102  aircraft  currently on lease to US
Airways,  Inc. The borrowing was in the form of a short-term note, bore interest
at the rate of 11% and was  repaid in  September  1997,  along  with  $26,370 in
accrued interest.

4.    Investment in Joint Venture

In March 1997 the Partnership and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P. Six"),
and L.P. Seven, contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables
and residuals  with a net book value of $4,874,857,  $5,553,962 and  $5,465,238,
respectively to ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity
created for the purpose of originating new leases, managing existing contributed
assets  and,  eventually,  securitizing  its  portfolio.  In  order  to fund the
acquisition of new

leases,   1997-A  obtained  a  warehouse   borrowing  facility  from  Prudential
Securities  Credit  Corporation  (the "1997-A  Facility").  Borrowings under the
1997-A  Facility were based on the present value of the new leases.  Outstanding
amounts under the 1997-A Facility bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%.

      On  September  19, 1997 Series E and L.P.  Six  contributed  and  assigned
equipment  lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book value of
$15,698,027 and $5,346,909,  respectively to 1997-A. The Partnership,  Series E,
L.P. Six and L.P. Seven  (collectively the "1997-A Members")  received a 17.81%,
31.19% 31.03% and 19.97% interest,  respectively, in 1997-A based on the present
value of their related contributions.

     On  September  19,  1997,  1997-A  securitized  substantially  all  of  its
equipment  leases and finance  receivables and residuals.  The net proceeds from
the  securitization  totaled  $47,140,183,  of which $16,658,877 was used to pay
down  the  1997-A  Facility,  and the  remaining  proceeds,  after  establishing
reserves for expenses,  were  distributed  to the 1997-A  Members based on their
respective interests. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a 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  "AA" by Duff &  Phelps  and  Fitch,  both  nationally
recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for
managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits
all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing
to the  noteholders  their  respective  principal and interest and to 1997-A the
excess of cash  collected  over debt  service  from the  portfolio.  The  1997-A
Members  receive their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from
1997-A.  The  Partnership's  share of the net proceeds  from the  securitization
totaled $3,962,495.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under
the equity method of  accounting.  The  Partnership's  original  investment  was
recorded  at  cost  and is  adjusted  by  its  share  of  earnings,  losses  and
distributions thereafter.


      Information  as to the  financial  position and results of  operations  of
1997-A as of and for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997 is  summarized
below:

5.    Lease Acquisition

     In June 1997 the  Partnership  acquired two DeHaviland  DHC-8-102  aircraft
currently on lease to U.S. Airways,  Inc. The purchase price totaled $6,819,250,
and was funded with $3,619,250 of cash and $3,200,000 in non-recourse  debt. The
lease is an operating lease and expires in January 1999. The note bears interest
at 10.34% and is interest only through  January 1999.  The principal  balance is

                               September 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  finance
leases, operating lease, investment in financings and equity investment in joint
venture  representing 62%, 28%, 10% and 9% of total investments at September 30,
1997,  respectively,  and 66%, 0%, 34% and 0% of total  investments at September
30, 1996, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     For the three months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
leased  or  financed  equipment  with an  initial  cost  of $0 and  $10,166,670,
respectively, to 0 and 36 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

     Revenues  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 were  $1,066,855
representing  an increase of $199,953 or 23% from 1996. The increase in revenues
was  attributable  to an  increase  in rental  income of  $456,000  or 100%,  an
increase in income from equity  investment  of $110,574 or 100%,  an increase in
net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $14,044 or 23%. These increases
were  partially  offset by a decrease in finance income of $316,590 or 44% and a
decrease in interest income and other of $64,074 or 76% from 1996. Rental income
increased due to an increase investment in operating leases.  Income from equity
investment  in  joint  ventures  increased  due  to the  Partnerships  increased
investment in these transactions.  Finance income decreased due to 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 average cash balance from 1996
to 1997.

     Expenses  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1997 were  $869,949,
representing  an increase of $112,185 or 15% from 1996. The increase in expenses
was  attributable  to an increase  in  depreciation  of  $203,667  or 100%.  The
decrease  in  expenses  was  primarily  attributable  to a decrease  in interest
expense of $120,037 or 35% from 1996.  Results were also  affected by a decrease
in  amortization of initial direct cost of $48,761 or 36%, a decrease in general
and administrative  expenses of $22,045 or 38%, a decrease in management fees of
$10,873 or 7% and a decrease in administrative  expenses reimbursement of $60 or
less than 1% from 1996. Depreciation increased due to an increase in investments
in operating  leases.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from a decrease
in the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. Management fees, amortization
of initial direct costs and administrative expense reimbursements  decreased due
to a  decrease  in the  average  size of the  portfolio  from 1996 to 1997.  The
decrease in general and  administrative was due primarily to a decrease in legal
fees.

     Net income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996 was
$196,906 and $109,138, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.49 and $.27 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     For the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
leased  or  financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $10,230,433   and
$18,770,370,   respectively,   to  42  and  40  lessees  or   equipment   users,
respectively.  The weighted average initial term relating to these  transactions
was 42 and 39 months, respectively.

                               September 30, 1997

     Revenues  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997 were  $2,646,463
representing a decrease of $2,344,246 or 47% from 1996. The decrease in revenues
was primarily  attributable to a decrease in net gain on sales or remarketing of
equipment of $1,782,917 or 80%, a decrease in finance income of $746,810 or 34%,
a decrease  in income  from  leveraged  leases,  net of  $369,511  or 100% and a
decrease  in  interest  income and other of  $149,602  or 66% from  1996.  These
decreases were  partially  offset by an increase in rental income of $456,000 or
100% and the 1997 income from equity  investment of $248,594.  Net gain on sales
or  remarketing  of  equipment  decreased  in  comparison  to the prior year due
primarily  to the  prior  year  gain of  $1,891,802,  which  resulted  from  the
Partnership's  sale  of its  investment  in  leveraged  leases.  Finance  income
decreased  due to a decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from 1996 to
1997.  Income from leveraged leases decreased as a result of the April 1996 sale
of all underlying equipment relating to the Partnerships investment in leveraged
leases.  The decrease in interest  income and other  resulted from a decrease in
the average cash balance from 1996 to 1997.  Rental income  increased due to the
June 1997  acquisition  of two  DeHaviland  aircraft  currently on lease to U.S.
Airways which were  classified as an operating  lease.  The  Partnership did not
have any investments in operating leases during 1996.


     Expenses  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 were  $2,119,787,
representing  a decrease of $591,563 or 22% from 1996.  The decrease in expenses
was  attributable  to a  decrease  in  interest  expense of  $416,153  or 33%, a
decrease in  amortization  of initial direct cost of $194,405 or 40%, a decrease
in  management  fees of $126,626 or 23%, a decrease  in  administrative  expense
reimbursements  of $29,879 or 13% and a decrease in general  and  administrative
expenses of $28,167 or 16% from 1996.  The decrease in expenses  were  partially
offset by an increase in depreciation  expense of $203,667 or 100%. The decrease
in interest  expense  resulted  from a decrease in the average debt  outstanding
from 1996 to 1997.  Management  fees,  amortization  of initial direct costs and
administrative expense reimbursements decreased due to a decrease in the average
size  of  the  portfolio  from  1996  to  1997.  The  decrease  in  general  and
administrative  expenses  was due to a  decrease  in  legal  fees.  Depreciation
increased due to an increase in investments in operating leases.

     Net  income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996 was
$526,676  and  $2,279,359,  respectively.  The net income per  weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $1.31 and $5.65 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1997 and 1996 were net cash  provided by operations of $7,344,343
and $1,489,260, respectively, proceeds from sales of equipment of $9,095,666 and
$14,932,272,  respectively,  proceeds from recourse  borrowings of $2,700,000 in
1997 and proceeds from a revolving  line of credit of $1,750,000 in 1996.  These
funds were used to purchase equipment, fund cash distributions and make payments
on borrowings.

     Cash  distributions to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $3,924,943 and $4,191,454,
respectively,  of which  $521,409  and  $2,256,565  was  investment  income  and
$3,403,534  and $1,934,889  was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly
annualized cash  distribution rate to limited partners was 13.11% and 14.00% for
1997 and 1996,  of which  1.74% and 7.54% was  investment  income and 11.37% and
6.46% 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 was $9.83, of which $1.31 and $4.85 was investment income and $8.52 and
$5.65 was a return of capital, respectively.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                               September 30, 1997

     The Partnership  entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Facility")
in October  1992.  The  facility was amended in March 1996.  The maximum  amount
available  under the  Facility  was  $5,000,000  and at  December  31,  1996 the
Partnership had $3,386,421  available for borrowing  under the Facility,  all of
which was  outstanding  at year end. The facility had a final  maturity  date of
January 31, 1997, at which time the Partnership paid the outstanding balance and
terminated the agreement.

     Included in the Partnership's  acquisitions for the year ended December 31,
1996 is a financing transaction for $8,756,291.  This transaction represents the
financing  of free cash and first  priority  rights of the first  $4,000,000  of
residual proceeds from the eventual sale of the equipment related to a leveraged
lease.  The free cash results from lease rental  payments being greater than the
debt  payments.  The financing is secured by the  underlying  equipment,  a 1986
McDonnell  Douglas  DC-10-30F  aircraft,  currently on lease to Federal  Express
Corp. In August 1996 L.P. Seven, an affiliate of the  Partnership,  acquired the
residual  interest in the  leveraged  lease and assumed the related  outstanding
non-recourse  debt.  In January 1997 L.P.  Seven  re-financed  the free cash and
$2,000,000  of its residual  position  with a third  party.  As a result of this
re-financing,  the Partnership  received  proceeds of $7,221,452 and reduced its
interest in the investment.

In March 1997 the  Partnership  and L.P.  Six and L.P.  Seven,  contributed  and
assigned  equipment lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book
value of $4,874,857, $5,553,962 and $5,465,238, respectively to ICON Receivables
1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose  entity  created  for the purpose of
originating new leases,  managing existing  contributed assets and,  eventually,
securitizing  its  portfolio.  In order to fund the  acquisition  of new leases,
1997-A obtained a warehouse borrowing facility from Prudential Securities Credit
Corporation (the "1997-A  Facility").  Borrowings under the 1997-A Facility were
based on the present  value of the new  leases.  Outstanding  amounts  under the
1997-A Facility bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%.

      On  September  19, 1997 Series E and L.P.  Six  contributed  and  assigned
equipment  lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book value of
$15,698,027 and $5,346,909,  respectively to 1997-A. The Partnership,  Series E,
L.P. Six and L.P. Seven  (collectively the "1997-A Members")  received a 17.81%,
31.19% 31.03% and 19.97% interest,  respectively, in 1997-A based on the present
value of their related contributions.

     On  September  19,  1997,  1997-A  securitized  substantially  all  of  its
equipment  leases and finance  receivables and residuals.  The net proceeds from
the  securitization  totaled  $47,140,183,  of which $16,658,877 was used to pay
down  the  1997-A  Facility,  and the  remaining  proceeds,  after  establishing
reserves for expenses,  were  distributed  to the 1997-A  Members based on their
respective interests. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a 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  "AA" by Duff &  Phelps  and  Fitch,  both  nationally
recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for
managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits
all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing
to the  noteholders  their  respective  principal and interest and to 1997-A the
excess of cash  collected  over debt  service  from the  portfolio.  The  1997-A
Members  receive their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from
1997-A.  The  Partnership's  share of the net proceeds  from the  securitization
totaled $3,962,495.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under
the equity method of  accounting.  The  Partnership's  original  investment  was
recorded  at  cost  and is  adjusted  by  its  share  of  earnings,  losses  and
distributions thereafter.

                               September 30, 1997

     The Partnership's  Reinvestment  Period ended June 5, 1997. The Disposition
Period  began on June 6, 1997 and is expected to continue  through June 5, 2002.
During  the  Disposition  Period  the  Partnership  has,  and will  continue  to
distribute substantially all distributable cash from operations and sales to the
partners and begin the orderly  termination of its  operations and affairs.  The
Partnership  has not, and will not reinvest in any leased  equipment  during the
Disposition Period.

     As of September 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.
