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
financial  statements include 100% of the assets and liabilities of 1997-B. L.P.
Six and L.P.  Seven's  interests  in 1997-B  have been  reflected  as  "minority
interests in consolidated joint ventures."

     The three joint  ventures  described  below are less than 50% owned and are
accounted for following the equity method.

     ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. II

     In March 1995 the  Partnership  and L.P. Six formed a joint  venture,  ICON
Cash Flow  Partners  L.L.C.  II ("ICON  Cash Flow LLC II"),  for the  purpose of
acquiring and managing an aircraft.  The Partnership and L.P. Six contributed 1%
and 99% of the cash required for such  acquisition,  respectively,  to ICON Cash
Flow LLC II. The Partnership's  investment in the joint venture is accounted for
under the equity method.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                               September 30, 2000

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 46%, 21%, 32% and 1% of total investments at September 30,
2000,  respectively,  and 48%, 26%, 25% and 1% of total investments at September
30, 1999, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues  for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 were  $1,528,500
representing  a decrease  of  $1,102,351  from 1999.  The  decrease  in revenues
resulted  from  decreases  in  finance  income  of  $429,615,  gain on  sales of
equipment  of $440,726  and income from equity  investment  in joint  venture of
$237,449.  Finance income decreased due to a decrease in the average size of the
finance  lease  portfolio.  The decrease in sales of equipment  resulted  from a
decrease in the amount of  equipment  sold where the proceeds  received  were in
excess  of the  remaining  carrying  value.  The loss from  investment  in joint
venture in 2000  resulted  primarily  from a provision  for bad debt of $500,000
being  recorded in the third quarter of 2000 by the  underlying  joint  venture,
ICON Receivables  1997-A L.L.C.  ("1997-A").  There was no provision of bad debt
recorded in the 1999 third quarter.

      Expenses  for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 were  $1,495,624
representing a decrease of $856,951 from 1999. The decrease was due to decreases
in provision for bad debts of $900,000 and interest  expense of $217,556.  These
decreases  were  partially  offset by an increase in minority  interest in joint
venture of $198,334.  Based upon a review of historical  loss  experience and an
assessment of overall risk, the Partnership  determined that a provision for bad
debts was not required  for the three  months  ending  September  30, 2000.  The
decrease  in  interest   expense  resulted  from  a  decrease  in  average  debt
outstanding  from  1999 to 2000.  The  increase  in  minority  interest  expense
resulted  from  increased   earnings   levels  within  the   Partnership's   two
consolidated joint ventures.

      Net income for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
$32,876 and $278,276,  respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.05 and $.45 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 were  $5,086,867
representing  a decrease  of  $2,471,639  from 1999.  The  decrease  in revenues
resulted  from  decreases  in  finance  income of  $1,633,411,  gain on sales of
equipment of $537,385,  income from investment in unconsolidated  joint ventures
of $281,971 and interest income and other of $18,872.  Finance income  decreased
due to a decrease  in the  average  size of the  finance  lease  portfolio.  The
decrease  in sales of  equipment  resulted  from a  decrease  in the  amount  of
equipment  sold  where the  proceeds  received  were in excess of the  remaining
carrying value.  Income from investment in joint venture decreased primarily due
to the  $500,000  provision  for bad debt being  recorded by 1997-A in the third
quarter of 2000 with no provision for bad debt being recorded in 1999.

      Expenses  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 were  $4,478,323
representing  a decrease  of  $1,804,071  from  1999.  The  decrease  was due to
decreases  in  provision  for bad  debts  of  $1,000,000,  interest  expense  of
$882,502,  management fees of $61,931 and a decrease in administrative  expenses
of $29,267.  These  decreases were  partially  offset by an increase in minority
interest in joint venture of $171,527.  Based upon a review of  historical  loss
experience and an assessment of overall risk, the Partnership  determined that a
provision  for bad debts was not required for the nine months  ending  September
30, 2000. The decrease in interest  expense  resulted from a decrease in average
debt  outstanding  from  1999 to  2000.  The  decrease  in  management  fees and
administrative  expense was the result of a decrease in the average  size of the
lease investment  portfolio from 1999 to 2000. The increase in minority interest
expense  resulted from increased  earnings levels within the  Partnership's  two
consolidated joint ventures.

         Net income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 was
$608,544  and  $1,276,112,  respectively.  The net income per  weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $.99 and $2.08 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were net cash provided by operations of  $12,200,878
and  $8,652,659,  respectively,  and the  proceeds  from sales of  equipment  of
$1,880,477  and  $3,155,343,  respectively.  These  funds were used to fund cash
distributions and make payments of borrowings.

     Cash  distributions to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 which were paid monthly,  totaled  $3,445,172 and  $3,155,343,
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 September 30, 2000, 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.
