                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 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  300 limited
partnership  units during 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 for 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 Asset Acquisition LLC

    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., Series
C ("Series C") formed ICON Asset  Acquisition  L.L.C. I ("ICON Asset Acquisition
LLC") as a special purpose limited 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 Series C contributed $8,700,000 (77.68%
interest),   $1,000,000  (8.93%  interest)  and  $1,500,000  (13.39%  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 leases of an
existing lease portfolio from First Sierra Financial, Inc. utilizing $16,273,793
of proceeds from the warehouse line (See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows -
Proceeds  from  recourse  debt -  Financing  activities),  $10,857,427  in  cash
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   totalled   $27,854,266  (See  Consolidated
Statements  of Cash Flows - Included  in  Equipment  and  receivables  purchased
Investing  activities),  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's  consolidated  financial
statements  include 100% of the accounts of ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC with the
affiliates' share reflected as "minority interest in joint ventures."

  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  were  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.

   ICON Cash Flow LLC I

   On September  21, 1994,  the  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series E ("Series E"), formed a joint venture,  ICON Cash Flow

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,
operating  leases,  financings,  leveraged leases and equity investment in joint
venture of 69%, 22%, 7%, 2% and less than 1% of total  investments  at September
30,  1996,  respectively,  and  64%,  25%,  11%,  0% and  less  than 1% of total
investments at September 30, 1995, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

   For the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  the  Partnership
leased,  financed or invested in equipment  with an initial cost of  $20,889,581
and  $14,675,904,  respectively,  to 23 and  222  lessees  or  equipment  users,
respectively.

Results of Operations

   Revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 were  $2,385,719,
representing  an increase of $524,490 or 28% from 1995. The increase in revenues
was due to an increase  in finance  income of $481,677 or 43% and an increase in
net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $81,062 from 1995. The increase
in finance income  resulted from the increase in the average size of the finance
lease  portfolios  from 1995 to 1996.  The net gain on sales or  remarketing  of
equipment increased due to an increase in the number of leases maturing, and the
underlying  equipment being sold or remarketed,  for which the proceeds received
were in excess of the remaining carrying value of the equipment.

   Expenses  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 were  $2,370,636,
representing  an increase of $536,775 or 29% from 1995. The increase in expenses
was due to an increase  in  interest  expense of $262,310 or 31%, an increase in
amortization  of  initial  direct  costs  of  $74,245  or 32%,  an  increase  in
management fees of $75,357 or 39%, an increase in the provision for bad debts of
$50,000 or 37% and an  increase  in  administrative  expense  reimbursements  of
$42,019 or 46%.  Interest  expense  increased  due to an increase in the average
debt  outstanding  from 1995 to 1996.  Amortization  of  initial  direct  costs,
management fees and administrative  expense  reimbursements  increased due to an
increase in the average size of the portfolio  from 1995 to 1996. As a result of
an  analysis  of  delinquency,  an  assessment  of  credit  risk and a review of
historical loss experience,  it was determined that a greater  provision for bad
debts was required for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

   Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $15,083
and  $27,368,   respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $.04 and $.09, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds  for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were cash  provided by operations of $5,741,986  and
$1,269,800,  respectively,  proceeds from sales of equipment of  $1,463,786  and
$558,196,  respectively,  proceeds from recourse debt of $16,877,623 in 1995 and

funds were used to make payments on borrowings,  fund cash  distributions and to
purchase equipment. The Partnership intends to purchase additional equipment and
fund cash  distributions  utilizing  capital  contributions,  cash  provided  by
operations, proceeds from sales of equipment and borrowings.

   Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the three months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995,  which were paid monthly,  totaled  $1,029,530  and $729,887,
respectively,  of which $14,932 and $27,094 was investment income and $1,014,598
and $702,793 was a return of capital,  respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited  partners was 10.75% and 9.97%,  of which .16% and
 .37% was  investment  income  and  10.59%  and 9.60%  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 $2.69 and
$2.49,  of which $.04 and $.09 was  investment  income and $2.65 and $2.40 was a
return of capital, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

   For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995,  the  Partnership
leased,  financed or invested in equipment  with an initial cost of  $30,008,132
and  $78,397,303,  respectively,  to 149 and 1,327  lessees or equipment  users,
respectively.  The weighted  average initial  transaction term relating to these
transactions was 52 and 37 months, respectively.

Results of Operations

   Revenues  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 were  $7,600,738,
representing  an  increase  of  $2,965,089  or 64% from 1995.  The  increase  in
revenues  was due to an  increase  in finance  income of  $2,261,804  or 77%, an
increase in rental income of $402,101 or 29%, an increase in interest income and
other of $19,850 or 8%, and an increase in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of
equipment of $280,623.  The increase in finance and rental income  resulted from
the increase in the average size of the finance and operating  lease  portfolios
from 1995 to 1996. Interest income and other increased due to an increase in the
average cash balance from 1995 to 1996.  The net gain on sales or remarketing of
equipment increased due to an increase in the number of leases maturing, and the
underlying  equipment being sold or remarketed,  for which the proceeds received
were in excess of the remaining carrying value of the equipment.

   Expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 were  $7,740,400,
representing  an increase of $3,249,726  from 1995. The increase in expenses was
due to an  increase  in interest  expense of  $1,436,085  or 67%, an increase in
amortization  of  initial  direct  costs of  $425,013  or 74%,  an  increase  in
management fees of $555,152,  an increase in depreciation expense of $212,163 or
50%, an increase in the  provision for bad debts of $150,000 or 50%, an increase
in administrative  expense  reimbursements of $235,063 or 91% and an increase in
general and administrative expenses of $343,868.  Interest expense increased due
to an increase in the average debt outstanding  from 1995 to 1996.  Amortization
of initial direct costs, management fees,  administrative expense reimbursements
and  general  and  administrative  expense  increased  due to an increase in the
average size of the portfolio.  The increase in  depreciation  expense  resulted
from the Partnership's  increased investment in operating leases. As a result of
an  analysis  of  delinquency,  an  assessment  of  credit  risk and a review of
historical loss experience,  it was determined that a greater  provision for bad
debts was required for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

   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. Series C
("Series C") formed ICON Asset  Acquisition  L.L.C.  I ("ICON Asset  Acquisition
LLC") as a special purpose limited 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 Series C contributed $8,700,000 (77.68%
interest),   $1,000,000  (8.93%  interest)  and  $1,500,000  (13.39%  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 leases of an
existing lease portfolio from First Sierra Financial, Inc. utilizing $16,273,793
of proceeds from the warehouse line (See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows -
Proceeds  from  recourse  debt -  Financing  activities),  $10,857,427  in  cash
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 (See Consolidated Statements
of Cash  Flows - Included  in  Equipment  and  receivables  purchased  Investing
activities),  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's  consolidated  financial
statements  include 100% of the accounts of ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC with the
affiliated   Partnerships   share  reflected  as  "Minority  interest  in  joint
ventures."

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

   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.

    As  of  September  30,  1996,   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 closings of limited  partnership
units,  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.
