2.   Net Investment in Leveraged Lease

      In September 1996 the Partnership acquired,  subject to a leveraged lease,
the residual interest in an aircraft.  The aircraft is an A-300B4-203  currently
on lease to Airbus. The purchase price was $19,595,956, consisting of $1,409,839
in cash and $18,186,117 in non-recourse debt.

The net  investment in the leveraged  lease as of June 30, 1998 consisted of the
following:

Non-cancelable minimum rents receivable (net of principal and
  interest on non-recourse debt)                                 $     -
Estimated unguaranteed residual values                             4,000,000
Initial direct costs                                                 341,979
Unearned income                                                   (2,382,165)
                                                                 -----------
                                                                 $ 1,959,814

      The  non-cancelable  rents are being paid  directly  to the lenders by the
lessees to satisfy the principal and interest on the non-recourse debt assumed.

3.   Redemption of Limited Partnership Units

     The General  Partner  consented to the  Partnership  redeeming  465 limited
partnership  units during 1998. 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 deduction 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.

      ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.

     In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven (collectively,  the
"1997-B  Members") formed ICON  Receivables  1997-B L.L.C.  ("1997-B"),  for the
purpose of originating leases and securitizing its portfolio.  On July 30, 1998,
1997-B  securitized  substantially  all  of its  equipment  leases  and  finance
receivables  and  residuals.  The net proceeds from the  securitization  totaled
$40,806,901,  of which  $30,930,921  was used to pay down 1997-B's debt, and the
remaining proceeds,  after establishing reserves for expenses,  were distributed
to the 1997-B  Members based on their  respective  interests.  1997-B became the
beneficial  owner of a trust.  The  trustee for the trust is  Manufacturers  and
Traders Trust Company  ("M&T").  In conjunction  with this  securitization,  the
portfolio as well as the General Partner's servicing  capabilities were rated 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-B  remits  all  monies  received  from  the
portfolio to M&T. M&T is  responsible  for disbursing to the  noteholders  their
respective  principal  and interest  and to 1997-B the excess of cash  collected
over debt service from the portfolio.  The 1997-B Members receive their pro rata
share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from 1997-B.

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  leases,  equity  investment in joint ventures,  leveraged  leases and
financings  of 51%,  37%, 5%, 4% and 3% of total  investments  at June 30, 1998,
respectively,  and 65%, 28%, 4%, 3% and less than 1% of total investment at June
30, 1997.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

   For the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership  leased or
financed  equipment with an initial cost of $0 and $84,184,  respectively,  to 0
and 1 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

   Revenues  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1998  were   $1,472,974,
representing a decrease of $653,001 or 30.7% from 1997. The decrease in revenues
was due to a decrease in finance  income of $755,392 or 60.4%, a decrease in net
gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment of $89,160 or 72.4% from 1997 and a
decrease in income from leveraged  leases of $10,647 or 12.3%.  These  decreases
were  partially  offset by an increase  in rental  income of $115,000 or 23%, an
increase in income from equity  investment  in joint venture of $59,924 or 43.9%
and an increase in interest income of $27,274 or 91.7%.  The decrease in finance
income  resulted  from the  decrease  in the average  size of the finance  lease
portfolio from 1997 to 1998. The net gain on sales or remarketing  decreased due
to a decrease  in the number of leases  maturing  and the  underlying  equipment
being sold or remarketed.  Rental income  increased from 1997 due to the release
of the operating  equipment to a new lessee.  The original  operating lease came
off lease in March 1997.  The  equipment  was  released in 1997 under new terms.
Income  from  equity   investment  in  joint  ventures   increased  due  to  the
Partnership's increased investment in these joint ventures.  Interest income and
other  increased  due to an increase in the average  cash  balance  from 1997 to
1998.

   Expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1998  were   $1,466,376,
representing a decrease of $730,455 or 34.4% from 1997. The decrease in expenses
was due to a decrease  in interest  expense of $471,966 or 45.9%,  a decrease in
amortization  of initial  direct  costs of  $229,104  or 64.3%,  a  decrease  in
management  fees of $53,116 or 17.8%,  a decrease in minority  interest in joint
venture of $26,913 or 100% , a decrease in administrative expense reimbursements
of $22,301 or 15.0%,  and a decrease  in general and  administrative  expense of
$7,293 or 5.8% from 1997. The decreases were partially  offset by an increase in
depreciation  of expenses of $55,238 or 26% and an increase in the provision for
bad debts of  $25,000.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to a  decrease  in the
average debt  outstanding  from 1997 to 1998.  Amortization of initial  indirect
costs,  management  fees,  administrative  fees and general  and  administrative
expenses  decreased due to a decrease in the average size of the portfolio  from
1997 to  1998.  Expense  related  to the  minority  interest  in  joint  venture
decreased  due to the  liquidation  of the joint  venture in the fourth  quarter
1997.  Depreciation  expense  increased  from  1997  due to the  release  of the
operating equipment to a new lessee. The original operating lease came off lease
in March 1997.  The equipment was released in 1997 under new terms.  Based on an
analysis of  delinquency,  an  assessment  of overall risk and  historical  loss
experience,  it was determined that an additional $25,000 provision for bad debt
was required for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

limited partnership unit was $.02 and $(.18), respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

   For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership  leased or
financed   equipment   with  an  initial  cost  of  $190,413   and   $1,825,327,
respectively, to 4 and 5 lessees or equipment users, respectively.  The weighted
average initial  transaction  term relating to these  transactions was 46 and 25
months, respectively.

     Revenues  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  were   $3,055,409,
representing a decrease of $949,680 or 23.7% from 1997. The decrease in revenues
was due to a decrease in finance  income of $1,381,201  or 55.4%,  a decrease in
net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $74,712 or 36.8% and a decrease
in income from leveraged  leases of $2,382 or 1.4%. The decreases were partially
offset by an  increase  in rental  income of  $303,885  or 3.7%,  an increase in
income  from  equity  investment  in joint  venture of $163,506 or 102.6% and an
increase  in  interest  income and other of $41,223 or 54.8%.  The  decrease  in
finance income  resulted from a decrease in the size of the average  finance and
operating  lease  portfolios from 1997 to 1998. Net gain on sales or remarketing
of equipment  decreased due to a decrease in the number of leases maturing,  and
the underlying  equipment being sold or remarketed.  Rental income increased due
to  the  release  of the  operating  equipment  to a new  lessee.  The  original
operating lease came off lease in March 1997. The equipment was released in 1997
under new terms. The increase in income from equity investment in joint ventures
increased due to the Partnership's increased investment in these joint ventures.
Interest  income and other  increased  due to an increase  in the  average  cash
balance from 1997 to 1998.

   Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $2,942,339, representing
a decrease of $1,032,023 or 26.0% from 1997. The decrease in expenses was due to
a  decrease  in  interest  expense  of  $549,433  or 32.4%,  a  decrease  in the
amortization  if initial  indirect  costs of  $441,667  or 57%,  a  decrease  in
management  fees of $66,793 or 11.8%,  a decrease in minority  interest in joint
venture of $38,079 or 95.7%, a decrease in administrative expense reimbursements
of $32,090 or 11.4% and a decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expense of
$31,517 or 16.2%.  These  decreases  were  partially  offset by an  increase  in
provision for bad debts of $125,000 or 100% and an increase in  depreciation  of
$2,556 or 18%.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to  decrease  in average  debt
outstanding  from  1997  to  1998.   Amortization  of  initial  indirect  costs,
management fees,  administrative  fees and general and  administrative  expenses
decreased  due to a decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from 1997 to
1998. Expense related to the minority interest in joint venture decreased due to
the  liquidation of the joint venture in the fourth  quarter 1997.  Depreciation
expense  increased from 1997 due to the release of the operating  equipment to a
new lessee.  The  original  operating  lease came off lease in March  1997.  The
equipment  was  released  in 1997  under  new  terms.  Based on an  analysis  of
delinquency,  an assessment of overall risk and historical loss  experience,  it
was  determined  that an  additional  provision  of  $125,000  for bad  debt was
required for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

   Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was  $113,070 and
$30,727,  respectively.  The net loss per weighted  average limited  partnership
unit was $.29 and $.08, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Partnership's  primary sources of funds for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 were cash provided by operations  of  $1,615,239  and  $1,957,710,
respectively, and proceeds from sales of equipment of $1,038,873 and $1,921,587,
respectively. These funds were used to make payments on borrowings, to fund cash
distributions  and to purchase  equipment.  The Partnership  intends to purchase
additional  equipment  and  to  fund  cash  distributions  utilizing  cash  from
operations, proceeds from sales of equipment and borrowings.

   Cash distributions to limited partners for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and  1997,  which  were  paid  monthly,   totaled   $2,043,825  and  $2,055,881,
respectively, of which $111,939 and $30,419 was investment income and $1,931,886
and $2,025,462  was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly  annualized
cash  distribution  rate to limited partners was 10.75%,  of which .59% and .15%
was  investment   income  and  10.16%  and  10.60%  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 six months  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $5.38 of which
$.29 and $.08 was investment income and $5.09 and $5.30 was a return of capital,
respectively.

   As of June 30,  1998,  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 and make  distributions  to limited  partners where it deems it to be
prudent while  retaining  sufficient cash to meet its reserve  requirements  and
recurring obligations as they become due.
