PART I
Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six (the "Partnership") was formed on July 8,
1993 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced business
operations on its initial closing date, March 31, 1994, with the admission of
16,537.73 limited partnership units at $100 per unit representing $1,653,773 of
capital contributions. Between April 1, 1994 and December 31, 1994, 111,166.37
additional units were admitted representing $11,116,637 of capital contributions
and from January 1, 1995 to November 8, 1995 (the final closing date),
256,153.02 additional units were admitted, bringing the final admission to
383,857.12 units totaling $38,385,712 in capital contributions. Between 1995 and
1998 the Partnership redeemed 4,503.92 limited partnership units. In 1999 the
Partnership redeemed 984.73 units leaving 378,368.47 limited partnership units
outstanding at December 31, 1999. The sole general partner is ICON Capital Corp.
(the "General Partner").
Narrative Description of Business
The Partnership is an equipment leasing fund. The principal objective of
the Partnership is to obtain the maximum economic return from its investments
for the benefit of its limited partners. To achieve this objective, the
Partnership intends to: (1) acquire a diversified portfolio of short-term,
high-yield lease and financing transactions, (2) make monthly cash distributions
to its limited partners from cash from operations, commencing with each limited
partner's admission to the Partnership, continuing through the reinvestment
period, which period will end no later than November 2000; (3) re-invest
substantially all undistributed cash from operations and cash from sales in
additional equipment and financing transactions during the reinvestment period;
and (4) sell the Partnership's investments and distribute the cash from sales of
such investments to its limited partners within five to eight and one-half years
of November 1995.
The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. In initiating its
leasing transactions, the Partnership competes with leasing companies,
manufacturers that lease their products directly, equipment brokers and dealers
and financial institutions, including commercial banks and insurance companies.
Many competitors are larger than the Partnership and have greater financial
resources.
The Partnership has no direct employees. The General Partner has full and
exclusive discretion in management and control of the Partnership.

Lease and Financing Transactions
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership purchased
and leased or financed $0 and $6,901,428 of equipment, respectively, with a
weighted average initial transaction term of 0 and 33 months, respectively.
Included in the summary of equipment cost by category below is 100% of the
equipment cost acquired by a joint venture in which the Partnership has a 99%
interest. The Partnership accounts for this investment by consolidating 100% of
the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures and reflecting, as a liability,
the related minority interest. The equipment purchased by four other joint
ventures in which the Partnership has a less than 50% interest are not included
in this table. At December 31, 1999, the weighted average initial transaction
term of the portfolio was 37 months. A summary of the portfolio equipment cost
by category held at December 31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

December 31, 1999
Item 7. 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, an operating lease, financings and equity investments in joint ventures
representing 46%, 44%, 1% and 9% of total investments at December 31, 1999,
respectively, and 49%, 36%, 11% and 4% of total investments at December 31,
1998, respectively.
Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership purchased
equipment with an initial cost of $0 and $6,901,428, respectively, to 0 and 11
lessees or equipment users, respectively.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $5,036,158, representing
a decrease of $1,126,212 from 1998. The decrease in revenues was due to a
decrease in finance income of $185,113, a decrease in income from leveraged
lease of $213,841, a decrease in income from investments in joint ventures of
$296,483, a decrease in gain on sales of equipment of $396,426 and a decrease in
interest income and other of $58,363. These decreases were partially offset by
an increase in rental income of $24,014 from 1998. The decrease in finance
income resulted from the decrease in the average size of the finance lease
portfolio from 1998 to 1999. Income from the leveraged lease decreased due to
the Partnership's 1998 termination of its lease with Airbus Industrie
("Airbus"). Income from the investments in joint ventures decreased as a result
of one of the underlying joint venture's increasing its provision for bad debts.
Interest income and other decreased due to a decrease in the average cash
balance.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $3,815,138, representing
a decrease of $1,879,593 from 1998. The decrease in expenses was due to a
decrease in amortization of initial direct costs of $718,353, a decrease in
provision for bad debts of $52,997, a decrease in interest expense of $478,510,
a decrease in management fees of $294,521, a decrease in administrative expense
reimbursements of $139,822, a decrease in depreciation expense of $111,594, and
a decrease in general and administrative expense of $86,383. Interest expense
decreased due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding from 1998 to 1999.
Amortization of initial direct costs, management fees, administrative expense
reimbursements and general and administrative expense decreased due to a
decrease in the average size of the portfolio from 1998 to 1999. As a result of
the ongoing analysis of delinquency trends and loss experience, and an
assessment of overall credit risk, the Partnership determined that no additional
provision for bad debt was required for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Net income for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $1,221,020
and $467,639, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $3.19 and $1.22 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
December 31, 1999
Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership purchased
equipment with an initial cost of $6,901,428 and $2,129,099, respectively, to 11
and 33 lessees or equipment users, respectively.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $6,162,370, representing
a decrease of $348,562 or 5% from 1997. The decrease in revenues was due to a
decrease in finance income of $958,314 or 31%, a decrease in income from
leveraged leases of $309,473 or 59% and a decrease in income from equity
investments in joint ventures of $112,916 or 24% from 1997. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
of $776,525, an increase in rental income of $187,751 or 8%, and an increase in
interest income and other of $67,865 or 67% from 1997. The decrease in finance
income resulted from the decrease in the average size of the finance lease
portfolio from 1997 to 1998. Income from the leveraged lease decreased due to
the Partnership's 1998 termination of its lease with Airbus Industrie
("Airbus"). Income from the investments in joint ventures decreased as a result
of one of the underlying joint venture's increasing its provision for bad debts.
In December 1998, the Partnership entered into a new joint venture, however,
there were no revenues generated from such joint venture in 1998. The gain on
sales of equipment increased due primarily to the gain on termination of the
Airbus lease. The Partnership's operating lease with Alaska Air terminated in
April 1997 and the asset was subsequently leased to Aero Mexico at a greater
contractual rental rate, and as a result, rental income increased from 1997 to
1998. Interest income and other increased due to an increase in the average cash
balance, and an increase in late charges from 1997 to 1998.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $5,694,731, representing
a decrease of $780,581 or 12% from 1997. The decrease in expenses was due to a
decrease in interest expense of $483,670 or 18%, a decrease in amortization of
initial direct costs of $177,703 or 17%, a decrease in provision for bad debts
of $130,277 or 71%, a decrease in management fees of $123,168 or 11%, a decrease
in administrative expense reimbursements of $61,991 or 11%, a decrease in
depreciation expense of $8,482 or 1%, and a decrease in minority interest in
joint venture of $1,240 or 16%. These decreases were partially offset by an
increase in general and administrative expense of $205,950 or 115%. Interest
expense decreased due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding from 1997 to
1998. Amortization of initial direct costs, management fees and administrative
expense reimbursements decreased due to a decrease in the average size of the
portfolio from 1997 to 1998. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted from
the Partnership's restructuring of its operating lease when it leased the
aircraft to Aero Mexico. Minority interest in joint venture decreased due to the
Partnership's September 1997 purchase of the minority interests relating to ICON
Asset Acquisition LLC. As a result of the ongoing analysis of delinquency trends
and loss experience, and an assessment of overall credit risk, the Partnership
determined that a provision of $52,997 for bad debt was required for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily related to an increase in legal expense which included the accelerated
write off of capitalized legal fees related to the Partnership's termination of
its lease with Airbus.
Net income for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $467,639 and
$35,620, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited partnership
unit was $1.22 and $.09 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 were net cash provided by operations of $2,684,592,
$3,543,778 and $11,225,547 and proceeds from sales of equipment of $6,120,773,
$4,473,161 and $4,336,675, respectively. These funds were used to invest in
joint ventures, purchase equipment, make payments on borrowings and fund cash
distributions. The Partnership intends to purchase additional equipment and fund
cash distributions, utilizing cash from operations, proceeds from sales of
equipment and additional borrowings.
The Partnership's notes payable at December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaled
$20,780,931 and $23,379,315, respectively, and consisted of $20,547,309 and
$22,360,201 in non-recourse notes, respectively, which are being paid directly
to the lenders by the lessees, $130,477 and $131,299 in non-recourse residual
value notes, respectively, which will be paid to the extent proceeds are
available in excess of the Partnership's estimated unguaranteed residuals and
$103,145 and $887,815 in non-recourse secured notes, respectively, which will be
paid from proceeds from the lease portfolio that secures the financing.
Cash distributions to limited partners for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, which were paid monthly, totaled $4,075,766 and $4,085,189,
respectively, of which $1,208,810 and $462,963 were investment income and
$2,866,956 and $3,622,226 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly
annualized cash distribution rate to limited partners in 1999 and 1998 was
10.75%, of which 3.19% and 1.22% were investment income and 7.56% and 9.53% were
a return of capital, respectively. The limited partner distribution per weighted
average unit outstanding in 1999 and 1998 was $10.75, of which $3.19 and $1.22
were investment income and $7.56 and $9.53 were a return of capital,
respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, 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 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.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
1. Organization
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six (the "Partnership") was formed on July 8,
1993 as a Delaware limited partnership with an initial capitalization of $2,000.
It was formed to acquire various types of equipment, to lease such equipment to
third parties and, to a lesser degree, to enter into secured financing
transactions. The Partnership commenced business operations on its initial
closing date, March 31, 1994 and by its final closing in 1995, 383,857.12 units
had been admitted into the Partnership with aggregate gross proceeds of
$38,385,712. Between 1995 and 1997 the Partnership redeemed 3,179.00 limited
partnership units. In 1999 and 1998 the Partnership redeemed 984.73 and 1,324.92
units, respectively, leaving 378,368.47 limited partnership units outstanding at
December 31, 1999.
The General Partner of the Partnership is ICON Capital Corp. (the "General
Partner"), a Connecticut corporation. The General Partner manages and controls
the business affairs of the Partnership's equipment leases and financing
transactions under a management agreement with the Partnership.
ICON Securities Corp., an affiliate of the General Partner, received an
underwriting commission on the gross proceeds from sales of all units. The total
underwriting compensation paid by the Partnership, including underwriting
commissions, sales commissions, incentive fees, public offering expense
reimbursements and due diligence activities is limited to 13 1/2% of the gross
proceeds received from the sale of the units. Such offering expenses aggregated
$5,182,071 (including $2,111,214 paid to the General Partner or its affiliates),
and were charged directly to limited partners' equity.
Profits, losses, cash distributions and disposition proceeds are allocated
99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner until each limited
partner has received cash distributions and disposition proceeds sufficient to
reduce its adjusted capital contribution account to zero and receive, in
addition, other distributions and allocations which would provide a 10% per
annum cumulative return, compounded daily, on its outstanding adjusted capital
contribution account. After such time, the distributions will be allocated 90%
to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The Partnership's records are
maintained on the accrual basis. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets at the
date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition,
management is required to disclose contingent assets and liabilities.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Partnership and its majority owned subsidiaries, ICON Six Corp. and ICON
Cash Flow L.L.C. II. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The Partnership accounts for its interests in less than 50% owned
joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. In such cases, the
Partnership's original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for its
share of earnings, losses and distributions thereafter.
Leases - The Partnership accounts for owned equipment leased to third
parties as finance leases, leveraged leases or operating leases, as appropriate.
For finance leases, the Partnership records, at the inception of the lease, the
total minimum lease payments receivable, the estimated unguaranteed residual
values, the initial direct costs related to the leases and the related unearned
income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum
lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual minus the
cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income
over the terms of the related leases using the interest method. The
Partnership's net investment in leveraged leases consists of minimum lease
payments receivable, the estimated unguaranteed residual values and the initial
direct costs related to the leases, net of the unearned income and principal and
interest on the related non-recourse debt. Unearned income is recognized as
income from leveraged leases over the life of the lease at a constant rate of
return on the positive net investment. For operating leases, equipment is
recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line method over the lease
terms to their estimated fair market values at lease terminations. Related lease
rentals are recognized on the straight-line method over the lease terms. Billed
and uncollected operating lease receivables, net of allowance for doubtful
accounts, are included in other assets. Initial direct costs of finance leases
and leveraged leases are capitalized and are amortized over the terms of the
related leases using the interest method. Initial direct costs of operating
leases are capitalized and amortized on the straight-line method over the lease
terms. The Partnership's leases have terms ranging from two to five years. Each
lease is expected to provide aggregate contractual rents that, along with
residual proceeds, return the Partnership's cost of its investments along with
investment income.
Investment in Financings - Investment in financings represent the gross
receivables due from the financing of equipment plus the initial direct costs
related thereto less the related unearned income. The unearned income is
recognized as finance income, and the initial direct costs are amortized, over
the terms of the receivables using the interest method. Financing transactions
are supported by a written promissory note evidencing the obligation of the user
to repay the principal, together with interest, which will be sufficient to
return the Partnership's full cost associated with such financing transaction,
together with some investment income. Furthermore, the repayment obligation is
collateralized by a security interest in the tangible or intangible personal
property.
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments" requires disclosures about the fair value of financial
instruments. Separate disclosure of fair value information as of December 31,
1999 and 1998 with respect to the Company's assets and liabilities is not
provided because (i) SFAS No. 107 does not require disclosures about the fair
value of lease arrangements and (ii) the carrying value of financial assets,
other than lease related investments, and certain other payables approximates
market value and (iii) fair value information concerning certain non-recourse
debt obligations is not practicable to estimate without incurring excessive
costs to obtain all the information that would be necessary to derive a market
interest rate.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
Redemption of Limited Partnership Units - The General Partner consented to
the Partnership redeeming 2,186.00 limited partnership units during 1997,
1,324.92 units during 1998 and 984.73 units in 1999. The redemption amount was
calculated following the specified redemption formula in accordance with 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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Partnership records a provision for
bad debts to provide for estimated credit losses in the portfolio. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of
overall risk and a review of historical loss experience. The Partnership's
write-off policy is based on an analysis of the aging of the Partnership's
portfolio, a review of the non-performing receivables and leases, and prior
collection experience. An account is fully reserved for or written off when the
analysis indicates that the probability of collection of the account is remote.
Impairment of Estimated Residual Values -- The Partnership's policy with
respect to impairment of estimated residual values is to review, on a periodic
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.
Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability
for such taxes is that of each of the partners rather than the Partnership.
New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to
have a material effect on the Partnership's net income, partners' equity or
total assets.

3. Net Investment in Leveraged Lease
In September 1996 the Partnership acquired, subject to a leveraged lease,
the beneficial interest in an aircraft. The aircraft was an Airbus A-300B4-203
on lease to Airbus Industrie through 2003. The purchase price of the asset was
$19,595,956 and consisted of $1,409,839 in cash, plus the assumption of
non-recourse senior debt and non-recourse junior debt.
In December 1998 the Partnership sold its beneficial interest in the
aircraft to Airbus Industrie. The proceeds from the sale totaled $20,834,705 and
were used to pay off the senior debt, the junior debt and a third party under a
residual sharing agreement. The remaining proceeds ($2,647,482 in cash) were
retained by the Partnership. The Partnership recognized an $884,876 gain on the
sale of the beneficial interest.
4. Investments in Joint Ventures
The Partnership and affiliates formed six joint ventures for the purpose of
acquiring and managing various assets.
The joint venture described below is majority owned and is consolidated
with the Partnership.
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. II
In March 1995 the Partnership and an affiliate, ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P., Series E ("Series E"), 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 which was on lease to Alaska Airlines, Inc. The Partnership and
Series E contributed 99% and 1% of the cash required for such acquisition,
respectively, to ICON Cash Flow LLC II. ICON Cash Flow LLC II acquired the
aircraft, assuming non-recourse debt and utilizing contributions received from
the Partnership and Series E. The lease is an operating lease. Profits, losses,
excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated 99% to the Partnership and 1%
to Series E. The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include 100% of
ICON Cash Flow LLC II. Series E's investment in ICON Cash Flow LLC II has been
reflected as "Minority interest in joint venture." The original lease term
expired in April 1997 and Alaska Airlines, Inc. returned the aircraft. In June
1997 ICON Cash Flow LLC II released the aircraft to Aero Mexico. The new lease
is an operating lease which expires in September 2002.
The five joint ventures described below are less than 50% owned and are
accounted for following the equity
method.
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. I
In September 1994 the Partnership and an affiliate, Series E, 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 which was on lease to Alaska
Airlines, Inc. The Partnership and Series E contributed 1% and 99% of the
<PAGE>

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
cash required for such acquisition, respectively, to ICON Cash Flow LLC I. ICON
Cash Flow LLC I acquired the aircraft, assuming non-recourse debt and utilizing
contributions received from the Partnership and Series E. The lease is an
operating lease. Profits, losses, excess cash and disposition proceeds are
allocated 1% to the Partnership and 99% to Series E. The Partnership's
investment in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. The
original lease term expired in April 1997 and Alaska Airlines, Inc. returned the
aircraft. In June 1997 ICON Cash Flow LLC I released the aircraft to Aero
Mexico. The new lease is an operating lease which expires in October 2002.
Information as to the financial position and results of operations of ICON
Cash Flow LLC I as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is

ICON Receivables 1997-A L.L.C.
In March 1997 the Partnership, ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series D
("Series D"), and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven ("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 securitizing
its portfolio. In September 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven
contributed and assigned additional equipment lease and finance receivables and
residuals to 1997-A. The Partnership, Series D, Series E and L.P. Seven received
a 31.03%, 17.81%, 31.19% and 19.97% interest, respectively, in 1997-A based on
the present value of their related contributions. The Partnership's
contributions amounted to $10,529,804 in assigned leases and $600,000 of cash in
1997, and $86,776 of cash in 1998 and $4,250 of cash and $177,844 in assigned
leases in 1999. 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 accounts for its investment in
1997-A under the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's original
investment was recorded at cost and is adjusted by its share of earnings, losses
and distributions thereafter. There were no distributions made in 1998 and 1999.

ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.
In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven formed ICON
Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"), for the purpose of originating leases and
securitizing its portfolio. The Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven contributed
cash and received an 8.33%, 75.00% and 16.67% interest, respectively, in 1997-B.
The Partnership's cash contributions amounted to $250,000 in 1997, $163,978 in
1998 and $30,260 in 1999. In order to fund the acquisition of leases, 1997-B
obtained a warehouse borrowing facility from Prudential Securities Credit
Corporation (the "1997-B Warehouse Facility"). 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 accounts for its investment in
1997-B under the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's original
investment was recorded at cost and is adjusted by its share of earnings, losses
and distributions thereafter.

ICON Boardman Funding L.L.C.
In December 1998 the Partnership and three affiliates, Series C, L.P. Seven

L.L.C. ("ICON BF"), for the purpose of acquiring a lease with Portland General
Electric. The purchase price totaled $27,421,810, and was funded with cash and
non-recourse debt assumed in the purchase price. The Partnership, Series C, L.P.
Seven and Eight A received a .5%, .5%, .5% and 98.5% interest, respectively, in
ICON BF. The Partnership's original investment was recorded at cost of
$56,960 and is adjusted by its share of earnings, losses and distributions,

AIC Trust
During 1999, L.P. Seven, an affiliate of the Partnership, acquired a
portfolio of equipment leases for $6,854,830. Subsequently, L.P. Seven sold
interests in this portfolio at various dates in 1999 to Eight A, an affiliate of
the Partnership, for $3,000,000 and to the Partnership for $1,750,000 at book
value, which approximated fair market value at the dates of sale. L.P. Seven
recognized no gain or loss on the sales of these interests to either Eight A or
to the Partnership.
As a result of the sales of these interests, as of December 31, 1999 the
Partnership and Eight A owned interests aggregating 25.51% and 43.73% in the
lease portfolio with L.P. Seven owning a 30.76% interest at that date. The lease
portfolio is owned and operated as a joint venture ("AIC Trust"). Profits,
losses, excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated based upon the
Partnerships' percentage ownership interests in the venture during the
respective periods the Partnerships held such interests. The Partnership
accounts for its investment under the equity method of accounting.

10. Subsidiary
In December 1994 the Partnership formed a wholly owned subsidiary, ICON Six
Corp., a Massachusetts corporation, formed for the purpose of managing equipment
under lease located in the state of Massachusetts. Massachusetts partnerships
are taxed on personal property at a higher rate than corporations, and
therefore, to mitigate such excess property tax, certain leases are being
managed by ICON Six Corp, a corporation. The Partnership's consolidated
financial statements include 100% of the accounts of ICON Six Corp. As of
December 31, 1999, there was no federal tax liability for ICON Six Corp.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Partnership entered into remarketing and residual sharing agreements
with third parties. In connection therewith, remarketing or residual proceeds
received in excess of specified amounts will be shared with these parties based
on specified formulas. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership has not made any payments pursuant to such agreements.
12. Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following table reconciles net income for financial reporting purposes
to income for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31:

=========== =========== ===========
As of December 31, 1999, the partners' capital accounts included in the
financial statements totaled $14,951,046 compared to the partners' capital
accounts for federal income tax purposes of $12,075,294 (unaudited). The
difference arises primarily from commissions reported as a reduction in the
partners' capital accounts for financial reporting purposes but not for federal
income tax purposes, and temporary differences related to direct finance leases,
depreciation and provision for losses.
