                                    June 30, 1996

                    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 leases, leveraged leases,  financings and an equity investment
in a joint  venture  representing  57%,  26%,  0%, 17% and less than 1% of total
investments at June 30, 1996,  respectively,  and 65%, 21%, 9%, 5%,and less than
1% of leveraged leases 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  $1,451,940  and  $2,266,962,
respectively, to 49 and 17 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

      Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996  were  $3,277,797,
representing an increase of $432,033, or 15% from 1995. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of
equipment of $1,195,841 and an increase in interest  income and other of $43,355
or 60% from 1995. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in finance
income of  $526,851 or 32% and a decrease  in income  from  leveraged  leases of
$279,438 or 100%.  The increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
was  attributable  to the  sale  of the  underlying  equipment  relating  to the
Partnership's  investment in leveraged leases.  This sale resulted in a net gain
of $997,606. The increase in interest income and other resulted from an increase
in the average cash balance from 1995 to 1996. Finance income decreased due to a
decrease in the average  size of the  portfolio  from 1995 to 1996.  Income from
leveraged  leases  decreased due to the sale of all of the underlying  equipment
relating to the Partnership's investment in leveraged leases.

      Expenses  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996  were  $1,965,963,
representing  a decrease of $592,830 or 23% from 1995.  The decrease in expenses
was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $395,314 or 35%,
a  decrease  in  amortization  of initial  direct  costs of  $194,831  or 46%, a
decrease in  management  fees of  $115,475 or 30%, a decrease in  administrative
expense  reimbursements  of  $58,256  or  30%  and a  decrease  in  general  and
administrative  expense  of  $29,189  or 18% from  1995.  These  decreases  were
partially  offset by an increase in provision for bad debts of $200,000 or 100%,
from 1995.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to a decrease in the average  debt
outstanding from 1995 to 1996. All other expenses decreased due to a decrease in
the average size of the portfolio  from 1995 to 1996. As a result of an analysis
of  delinquency,  an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical  loss
experience,  it was  determined  that a  $200,000  provision  for bad  debts was
required for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

      Net  income  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995 was
$1,311,834  and  $286,971,  respectively.  The net income per  weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $2.13 and $.47 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  $2,029,963  and
$3,244,619, respectively, and proceeds from sales of equipment of $8,192,532 and
$1,184,676,  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 and proceeds from sales of equipment.

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

      Cash distributions to limited partners for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $1,942,847  and  $1,943,256,
respectively,  of which  $1,298,716  and  $284,101  was  investment  income  and
$644,131  and  $1,659,155  was a return of  capital,  respectively.  The monthly
annualized cash  distribution  rate to limited  partners was 12.75% for 1996 and
1995, of which 8.52% and 1.86% was investment  income and 4.23% and 10.89% 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
$3.19 and $3.19,  of which  $2.13 and $.47 was  investment  income and $1.06 and
$2.72 was a return of capital,  respectively.  The Partnership had notes payable
at June 30, 1996 and 1995 of $41,709,722 and $61,041,662, respectively, and such
amounts  consisted  of  $39,070,114  and  $53,270,458  in  non-recourse   notes,
respectively, and $2,639,608 and $7,771,204 in recourse notes, respectively.

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  $4,679,422  and   $3,850,890,
respectively,  to 74  and 46  lessees  or  equipment  users,  respectively.  The
weighted average initial  transaction term relating to these transactions was 54
and 56 months.

      Revenues  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  were  $5,654,084,
representing  a decrease of $200,413 or 3% from 1995.  The  decrease in revenues
was primarily  attributable to a decrease in finance income of $1,183,641or  34%
and a decrease  in income  from  leveraged  leases of $361,182 or 64% from 1995.
These  decreases  were  partially  offset by an increase in net gain on sales or
remarketing of equipment of $1,311,779 and interest  income and other of $32,125
from 1995.  The increase in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of equipment  was
attributable  to  the  sale  of  the  underlying   equipment   relating  to  the
Partnership's  investment in leveraged leases.  This sale resulted in a net gain
of $997,606. The increase in interest income and other resulted from an increase
in the average cash balance from 1995 to 1996. Finance income decreased due to a
decrease in the average  size of the  portfolio  from 1995 to 1996.  Income from
leveraged  leases  decreased due to the sale of all of the underlying  equipment
relating to the Partnership's investment in leveraged leases.

      Expenses  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  were  $3,891,293,
representing a decrease of $1,446,414 or 27% from 1995. The decrease in expenses
was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $805,374 or 34%,
a decrease in amortization of initial direct cost of $382,746 or 44%, a decrease
in management fees of $222,371 or 27% and a decrease in  administrative  expense
reimbursements  of $112,721 from 1995.  These decreases were partially offset by
an increase in  provision  for bad debts of $100,000 or 100%.  Interest  expense
decreased due to a decrease in the average debt  outstanding  from 1995 to 1996.
Amortization of initial direct costs, management fees and administrative expense
reimbursements  decreased due to a decrease in the average size of the portfolio
from 1995 to 1996. As a result of an analysis of  delinquency,  an assessment of
overall risk and a review of historical loss experience,  it was determined that
a $200,000  provision  for bad debts was  required for the six months ended June
30, 1996.

      Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was  $1,762,791
and  $516,790,  respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $2.86 and $.84 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

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

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  $8,362,146  and
$6,722,197, respectively, and proceeds from sales of equipment of $9,382,646 and
$1,681,399,  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 and proceeds from sales of equipment.

      Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $3,885,900  and  $3,886,635,
respectively,  of which  $1,745,163  and  $511,622  was  investment  income  and
$2,140,737  and $3,375,013  was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly
annualized cash  distribution  rate to limited  partners was 12.75% for 1996 and
1995, of which 5.73% and 1.68% was investment  income and 7.02% and 11.05% 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
$6.38,  of which $2.86 and $.84 was investment  income and $3.52 and $5.54 was a
return of capital, respectively.

      The Partnership  entered into a three year revolving credit agreement (the
"Facility") in January 1995. The maximum amount  available under the Facility is
$25,000,000 and at June 30, 1996 the  Partnership had $11,574,689  available for
borrowing under the facility, in which there was no outstanding balance.

      On April 23, 1996, the Partnership sold its beneficial interest in a trust
which  owned  towboats  and  barges  that were  reflected  as the  Partnership's
investment  in  leveraged  leases.  The net  cash  proceeds,  after  paying  the
remaining debt  obligation,  and expenses  related to the sale, were $7,216,689,
which resulted in a net gain of $997,606.

      On March  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P. Six ("L.P.  Six"),  formed ICON Cash Flow  Partners  L.L.C.  II,
("ICON Cash Flow LLC II"), for the purpose of acquiring and managing an aircraft
currently on lease to Alaska  Airlines,  Inc.  The aircraft is a 1987  McDonnell
Douglas  MD-83.  The  Partnership  and L.P.  Six  contributed  $30,550  (1%) and
$3,024,450  (99%) of the cash required for such  acquisition,  respectively,  to
ICON Cash Flow LLC II. ICON Cash Flow LLC II  acquired  the  aircraft,  assuming
$16,315,997  in  non-recourse  debt  and the  contributions  received  from  the
Partnership  and  L.P.  Six.  The  purchase  price  of the  transaction  totaled
$19,370,997. The lease is an operating lease and the lease term expires in March
1997. Profits, losses, excess cash and disposition proceeds will be allocated 1%
to the  Partnership  and 99% to L.P. Six. The  Partnership's  investment in ICON
Cash Flow LLC II has been reflected as "Minority interest in joint venture."

      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 Consolidated Financial Statements

                                 June 30, 1996

                                  (unaudited)


1.  Basis of Presentation

    The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated  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  152 limited
partnership  units  during the six months ended June 30,  1996.  The  redemption
amount was  calculated  following  the specified  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 reduction from partners equity.

4.  Investment in Joint Ventures

    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.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

    ICON Cash Flow LLC I

    On September 21, 1994,  the  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners L.P. Six ("L.P. Six"), formed a joint venture, ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.L.C.  I ("ICON Cash Flow LLC I"), for the purpose of acquiring and managing an
aircraft  currently  on lease to Alaska  Airlines,  Inc.  The aircraft is a 1988
McDonnell  Douglas MD-83.  The Partnership  and L.P. Six contributed  $3,730,493
(99%) and $37,682 (1%) of the cash required for such acquisition,  respectively,
to ICON Cash Flow LLC I. ICON Cash Flow LLC I acquired  the  aircraft,  assuming
$17,003,454  in  non-recourse  debt  and the  contributions  received  from  the
Partnership  and  L.P.  Six.  The  purchase  price  of the  transaction  totaled
$20,771,629. The lease is an operating lease and the lease term expires in March
1997. Profits, losses, excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated 99% to
the Partnership  and 1% to L.P. Six. The  Partnership's  consolidated  financial
statements  include 100% of the assets and  liabilities of ICON Cash Flow LLC I.
L.P.  Six's  investment in ICON Cash Flow LLC I has been  reflected as "Minority
interest in joint venture."

    ICON Cash Flow LLC II

    On March 31, 1995, the Partnership  and an affiliate,  L.P. Six, formed ICON
Cash Flow  Partners  L.L.C.  II,  ("ICON Cash Flow LLC II"),  for the purpose of
acquiring and managing an aircraft  currently on lease to Alaska Airlines,  Inc.
The aircraft is a 1987 McDonnell  Douglas MD-83.  The  Partnership  and L.P. Six
contributed  $30,550  (1%) and  $3,024,450  (99%) of the cash  required for such
acquisition,  respectively,  to ICON  Cash  Flow LLC II.  ICON  Cash Flow LLC II
acquired  the  aircraft,  assuming  $16,315,997  in  non-recourse  debt  and the
contributions  received from the Partnership and L.P. Six. The purchase price of
the  transaction  totaled  $19,370,997.  The lease is an operating lease and the
lease term expires in March 1997. Profits,  losses,  excess cash and disposition
proceeds  will be  allocated  1% to the  Partnership  and 99% to L.P.  Six.  The
Partnership 1% investment in ICON Cash Flow LLC II, which is accounted for under
the equity  method,  totaled  $38,266 at June 30, 1996 and has been reflected as
"Equity  investment in joint  venture." The General Partner manages and controls
the business  affairs of both the  Partnership and L.P. Six. As a result of this
common control and the Partnership's  ability to influence the activities of the
joint venture,  the  Partnership's  investment in the joint venture is accounted
for under the  equity  method.  Information  as to the  financial  position  and
results of operations of ICON LLC II at June 30, 1996 is summarized below:

                                                        June 30, 1996

                   Assets                                $18,310,792
