equipment  sales to the partners and  continue  the orderly  termination  of its
operations  and  affairs.  The  Partnership  will not  invest in any  additional

4.  Investments in Joint Ventures

     The Partnership  and affiliates  formed five joint ventures for the purpose
of acquiring and managing various assets.

     The  two  joint  ventures  described  below  are  majority  owned  and  are
consolidated with the Partnership.

     ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. I

     In September 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.
The  Partnership  and L.P. Six  contributed  99% and 1% of the cash required for
such  acquisition,  respectively,  to ICON  Cash  Flow LLC I. 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 interests in consolidated joint ventures."

       ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.

         In August 1997 the  Partnership,  L.P. Six and ICON Cash Flow  Partners
L.P. Seven ("L.P. Seven") formed 1997-B, a special purpose entity formed for the
purpose of originating  leases and securitizing its portfolio.  The Partnership,
L.P. Six and L.P.  Seven  contributed  $2,250,000  (75.00%  interest),  $250,000
(8.33%  interest) and $500,000  (16.67%  interest),  respectively to 1997-B.  In
order to fund the acquisition of leases,  1997-B obtained a warehouse  borrowing
facility from Prudential Securities Credit Corporation.  In October 1998, 1997-B
completed an equipment securitization.  The net proceeds from the securitization
of these assets were used to pay-off the  remaining  1997-B  warehouse  facility
balance and any remaining  proceeds were  distributed  to the 1997-B  members in
accordance  with their  membership  interests.  The  Partnership's  consolidated

        Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

      ICON Receivables 1997-A L.L.C.

     In March 1997 three affiliates of the Partnership, ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P.,  Series D ("Series D"), L.P. Six and L.P. Seven,  contributed and assigned
equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to ICON Receivables 1997-A
L.L.C.  ("1997-A"),  a  special  purpose  entity  created  for  the  purpose  of
originating  leases,  managing existing  contributed assets and securitizing its
portfolio.  In  September  1997  the  Partnership,   L.P.  Six  and  L.P.  Seven
contributed and assigned additional  equipment lease and finance receivables and
residuals to 1997-A. The Partnership, Series D, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven received
a 31.19%, 17.81%, 31.03% and 19.97% interest,  respectively,  in 1997-A based on
the present  value of their related  contributions.  In September  1997,  1997-A
securitized  substantially  all of its equipment leases and finance  receivables
and residuals.  1997-A became the beneficial owner of a trust. The Partnership's
original  investment  was  recorded  at cost  and is  adjusted  by its  share of
earnings, losses and distributions thereafter.

                                 March 31, 1999

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,  financings,  operating leases, and investments in unconsolidated  joint
ventures  representing  50%, 27%, 22% and 1% of total  investments  at March 31,
1999,  respectively,  and 46%, 20%, 31% and 3% of total investments at March 31,
1998, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998

      For the three  months ended March 31, 1999 the  Partnership  did not enter
into any new leases or financing agreements. For the three months ended March 31
1998, the Partnership  leased or financed  additional  equipment with an initial
cost of  $6,889,067  to 86 lessees or  equipment  users.  At March 31,  1999 the
weighted average remaining transaction term of the portfolio was 27 months.

      Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 were  $2,649,490,
representing  an increase of $163,011 or 7% from 1998.  The increase in revenues
resulted  primarily from an increase in finance income of $372,242 or 27% and an
increase  in rental  income of $29,262 or 5%.  These  increases  were  partially
offset  by a  decrease  in net gain on  sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of
$155,662 or 58%, a decrease in interest income and other of $66,363 or 49% and a
decrease in income from investments in unconsolidated  joint ventures of $16,468
or 14%.  Finance income  increased due to an increase in the average size of the
finance  lease  portfolio  from 1998 to 1999.  Rental  income  increased  due to
increased  rentals  in 1999 as a result  of the  Partnership's  revision  of the
operating  lease with Aerovias de Mexico,  S.A. de C.V. ("Aero Mexico") in April
of 1998. The decrease in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment  resulted
from a decrease  in the in the number of leases  maturing  and a decrease in the
amount of  underlying  equipment  being sold or  remarketed  for which  proceeds
received  were in  excess  of the  remaining  carrying  value.  Interest  income
decreased  due to a decrease in the average cash balance from 1998 to 1999.  The
decrease in income from  investments  in  unconsolidated  joint ventures was the
result of a decrease in the average  size of the lease  portfolio  of one of the
underlying joint ventures, ICON Receivables 1997-A.

      Expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 were  $1,992,703,
representing  a decrease of $268,097 or 12% from 1998.  The decrease in expenses
resulted  from a decrease in  management  fees of $199,057 or 46%, a decrease in
amortization  of initial  direct  costs of  $162,027  or 93% and a  decrease  in
administrative  expense  reimbursements  of  $69,132 or 33%.  Additionally,  the
Partnership did not record any provision for bad debt for the three months ended
March 31, 1999  compared to a $200,000  provision  recorded for the three months
ended March 31, 1998.  These  decreases were partially  offset by an increase in
interest  expense of 143,564 or 14%, an  increase in general and  administrative
expense of $114,180 or 127%,  an increase in minority  interest in joint venture
of $62,668 or 203% and an increase in depreciation of expense of $41,707 or 40%.
The decreases in management fees and administrative  expense reimbursements were
a result of the fact that 1998 expenses included cumulative  management fees and
administrative  expense  reimbursements  related to a lease  originated in 1995.
Amortization  of initial direct costs decreased due to a decrease in the average
size of the  portfolio  subject to initial  direct costs from 1998 to 1999. As a
result of an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and a review
of historical  loss  experience the  Partnership  determined  that no additional
provision  for bad debt was required for the three months ending March 31, 1999.
Interest expense  increased due to an increase the average debt outstanding from
1998 to 1999.  The  increase  in general  and  administrative  expenses  was due
primarily  to an  increase  in  collection  related  legal  and  other  fees and
increased printing and postage costs from 1998 to 1999.

                     ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

      Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $656,787
and  $225,679,  respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $1.07 and $.37 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary  sources of funds for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 were net cash provided by  operations of $2,882,945  and
$4,724,821,  respectively,  proceeds from sales of equipment of  $1,711,972  and
$615,108,  respectively  and  proceeds  from the  warehouse  line of  credit  of
$6,257,067 in 1998.  These funds were used to purchase  equipment in 1998,  fund
cash distributions and make payments on borrowings.

      Cash  distributions  to limited  partners for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $1,532,320 and $1,939,210,
respectively,  of which $650,219 and $223,422 was investment income and $882,101
and 1,715,788 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited partners for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 was  10.08%  and  12.75%,  respectively,  of which  4.28% and 1.47% was
investment  income and 5.80% and 11.28% 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 three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $2.52 and $3.19, respectively, of which
$1.07  and $.37 was  investment  income  and  $1.45  and  $2.82  was a return of
capital, respectively.

         The  Partnership's  reinvestment  period  ended on July 31,  1998.  The
disposition period began August 1, 1998, at which time the Partnership began the
orderly termination of its operations and affairs. During the disposition period
the  Partnership  has,  and  will  continue  to  distribute   substantially  all
distributable  cash from  operations  and equipment  sales to the partners.  The
Partnership  has not,  and will not  invest in any  additional  finance or lease
transactions  during the disposition  period.  As a result of the  Partnership's
entering into the disposition period,  future monthly  distributions  could, and
are  expected to  fluctuate  depending  on the amount of asset sale and re-lease
proceeds received during that period.

      As of March 31, 1999, except as noted above, there were no known trends or
demands,  commitments,  events  or  uncertainties  which  are  likely  to have a
material  effect on liquidity.  As cash is realized from operations and sales of
equipment,  the Partnership  will distribute  substantially  all available cash,
after retaining  sufficient cash to meet its reserve  requirements and recurring
obligations.

Year 2000 Issue

    The Partnership relies on computer  information  systems for its transaction
processing  and for general data  processing.  The Year 2000 issue arose because
many existing  computer  programs have been written using two digits rather than
four to define the  applicable  year. As a result,  the program could  interpret
dates  ending in "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year  2000.  In certain
cases,  such errors  could  result in system  failures or  miscalculations  that
disrupt the operation of the affected businesses.

                     ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

    The Partnership  uses computer  information  systems provided by the General
Partner and has no computer information systems of its own. The software related
to the General  Partner's primary computer  information  systems are provided by
third parties vendors. The General Partner has formally  communicated with these
vendors and has received  assurance that their programs are Year 2000 compliant.
In addition,  the General Partner has gathered  information  about the Year 2000
readiness of  significant  vendors and  third-party  servicers  and continues to
monitor  developments  in this area.  All of the  General  Partner's  peripheral
computer  technologies,  such as its  network  operating  system and third party
software  applications,  including  payroll  and  electronic  banking  have been
evaluated and have been found to be Year 2000 compliant.  The ultimate impact of
the Year 2000  issue on the  Partnership  will  depend to a great  extent on the
manner in which the issue is addressed by the Partnership's lessees. Each of the
Partnership's  lessees will have a material  self interest in resolving any Year
2000 issue, however, non-compliance on the part of a lessee could result in lost
or  delayed  revenues  to the  Partnership.  The  effect  of  this  risk  to the
Partnership is not determinable.

    The General  Partner is responsible for costs relating to the assessment and
development of its Year 2000 compliance remediation plan, as well as the testing
of the hardware and software owned or licensed for its personal  computers.  The
General  Partner's  costs  incurred to date and  expected  future  costs are not
material.
