Item 1.  Business

General Development of Business

    ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.  Seven (the  "Partnership"),  was formed on May
23, 1995 as a Delaware limited partnership.  The Partnership  commenced business
operations on its initial  closing date,  January 19, 1996 with the admission of
26,367.95 limited partnership units at $100 per unit representing  $2,636,795 of
capital  contributions.   Between  January  19,  1996  and  December  31,  1996,
249,172.52  additional units were admitted  representing  $24,917,252 of capital
contributions   bringing  the  total  admission  to  275,540.47  units  totaling
$27,554,047 in capital contributions.

Narrative Description of Business

    The  Partnership  is  an  equipment   leasing  income  fund.  The  principal
investment 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 investments;  (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 the eighth anniversary of the final
closing date; (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 six to thirty-six  months after the end of the  reinvestment  period.  In
addition to acquiring  equipment and entering into leases,  the Partnership will
(1) acquire  equipment  already  subject to leases  originated by affiliates and
non-affiliated lessors and (2) enter into financing transactions,  which are (i)
secured by the  equipment  financed and lease  revenues  therefrom  (if any) and
additional  collateral as deemed necessary by the credit review committee of the
General  Partner,  and  (ii)  evidenced  by the  irrevocable  obligation  of the
lessees.

    The equipment  leasing  industry is highly  competitive.  In initiating  its
leasing  transactions,  the  Partnership  will compete  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  access  to more
favorable  financing.  Competitive  factors in the  equipment  leasing  business
primarily   involve   pricing  and  other  financial   arrangements,   equipment
remarketing capabilities and servicing of customer lessees.

    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 year ended December 31, 1996, the  Partnership  purchased and leased
or  financed   $91,413,127  of  equipment,   with  a  weighted  average  initial
transaction  term of 70 months.  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
venture and reflecting as a liability the related minority  interest.  A summary
of the  portfolio  equipment  cost by category  held at December  31, 1996 is as

$15,955 (1%) and $1,579,514 (99%), respectively,  to the joint venture. Profits,
losses and  disposition  proceeds are allocated 99% to the Partnership and 1% to
Series E and is reflected on the Balance  Sheet as an  "Investment  in leveraged
leases." The weighted average initial transaction term for 1996 was 70 months.

    Since the Partnership commenced operations on January 19, 1996, a comparison
of results of operations to prior periods is not presented.

    Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $405,451. The net income
per weighted average limited partnership unit was $2.57,  weighted from the date
each unit was admitted to the Partnership.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The   Partnership's   primary   sources  of  funds  in  1996  were   capital
contributions,  net of offering  expenses,  of $23,834,251 from limited partners
and cash provided by operations of $973,899.  These funds were used to fund cash
distributions and to purchase equipment.  The Partnership intends to continue to
purchase equipment and to fund cash  distributions  utilizing funds from capital
contributions and cash provided by operations.

    The  Partnership  had notes payable of $23,314,945 at December 31, 1996 as a
result of borrowings  secured by equipment.  These are non-recourse  notes which
are being paid directly to the lenders by the lessees.

    Cash distributions to the limited partners, which were paid monthly, totaled
$1,361,099, of which $401,396 was investment income and $959,703 was a return of
capital.  The limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding
for December 31, 1996 was $8.71, of which $2.57 was investment  income and $6.14
was a return of capital.

                                December 31, 1996

     On March 11,  1997,  the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series D and ICON Cash Flow Partners  L.P. Six,  (collectively
"the Members"), contributed and assigned $6,582,150,  $8,671,773 and $6,712,631,
respectively,  in equipment lease and finance  receivables and residuals to ICON
Receivables  1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose  entity  created by the
Members.  The Members received a 29.4%, 40.8% and 29.8% interest,  respectively,
in 1997-A based on the present value of their related contributions.  1997-A was
formed for the purpose of originating new leases,  managing existing contributed
assets  and,  eventually,  securitizing  its  portfolio.  In  order  to fund the
acquisition of new leases,  1997-A obtained a warehouse  borrowing facility from
Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the "Facility").  Borrowings under the
Facility are based on the present value of the new leases,  provided that in the
aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $20,000,000. Outstanding amounts
under the  Facility  bear  interest  equal to Libor  plus 1.5%.  Collections  of
receivables from new leases are used to pay down the Facility,  however,  in the
event of a default,  all of 1997-A's  assets are available to cure such default.
The net proceeds from the expected  securitization  of these assets will be used
to pay-off the remaining  Facility  balance and any  remaining  proceeds will be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their  membership  interests.  The
Partnership  will account for its  investment in 1997-A under the equity method.
The  investment  in 1997-A will be increased or decreased by its share of profit
or losses and decreased by any distributions received by 1997-A.

    As of December 31, 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  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.

Accounting Developments

    In June 1996 the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125
establishes,  among other things, criteria for determining whether a transfer of
financial  assets is a sale or a secured  borrowing  effective for all transfers
occurring  after December 31, 1996. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Partnership's  net income,  partners' equity or
total assets.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Partners
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.
Seven (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related  statements of operations,  changes in partners' equity,  and cash flows
for the year ended  December  31,  1996 and for the period May 23, 1995 (date of
inception)  to  December  31,  1995.   These   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.
Seven as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and
its cash flows for the year ended  December  31, 1996 and for the period May 23,
1995 (date of  inception) to December 31, 1995,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1996

1.   Organization

     ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.  Seven (the  "Partnership")  was formed on May
23, 1995 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,  January 19, 1996, with the admission of 26,367.95 limited
partnership  units  at  $100  per  unit   representing   $2,636,795  of  capital
contributions.  As of December 31, 1996,  249,172.52  additional  units had been
admitted into the  Partnership  with  aggregate  gross  proceeds of  $24,917,252
bringing the total admission to 275,540.47 units totaling $27,554,047 in capital
contributions.

     The General  Partner of the Partnership is ICON Capital Corp. (the "General
Partner"),  a  Connecticut  corporation.  The  General  Partner  will manage and
control  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, will receive an
underwriting commission on the gross proceeds from sales of all units. The total
underwriting compensation to be paid by the Partnership,  including underwriting
commissions,   sales  commissions,   incentive  fees,  public  offering  expense
reimbursements  and due diligence  activities  will be limited to 13 1/2% of the
gross  proceeds  received  from the sale of the units.  Such  offering  expenses
aggregated  $3,719,796  (including $1,515,472 paid to the General Partner or its
affiliates (See Note 9)) and were charged directly to limited partners' equity.

     Profits,  losses,  cash  distributions  and  disposition  proceeds  will be
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 and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Leases - The  Partnership  accounts  for  owned  equipment  leased to third
parties  as  finance  leases  or  leveraged  leases.  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

                                     Page 16

                                     <PAGE>



                       ICON Cash Flow Partners L. P. Seven
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                    Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

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.  Initial  direct costs of finance leases
and leverage  leases are  capitalized  and are  amortized  over the terms of the
related leases using the interest method.  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.

     Investment  in  Estimated  Unguaranteed  Residual  Value - The  Partnership
purchased a 50%  interest of an option to acquire  equipment.  The asset will be
carried at cost until sale or release of the equipment,  at which time a gain or
loss will be recognized on the transaction.

     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,  except for lease related  instruments.  At December 31, 1996,  the
carrying value of the  Partnership's  financial  assets other than lease related
investments, approximates fair value.

    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 - 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.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                    Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

    The  Partnership's  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.

    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.

3.  Residual Investment

     On December 31, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 50% share of an option to
acquire a 100% interest in a mobile  offshore  drilling rig,  currently on lease
with  Rowan  Companies  Inc.  The  purchase  price  of the  50%  investment  was
$12,325,000 and consisted of $100,000 in cash and $12,225,000 promissory note.

4.  Net Investment in Leveraged Leases

    On August 20, 1996, the partnership acquired,  subject to a leveraged lease,
the  residual  interest in an  aircraft.  The  aircraft  is a McDonnell  Douglas
DC-10-30F,  built  in  1986.  It is on  lease  with  Federal  Express  and has a
remaining  lease  term of  eight  years.  The  purchase  price  was  $40,973,585
consisting of $6,000,000 in cash and the assumption of non-recourse  senior debt
of $26,217,294 and non-recourse junior debt ("junior debt") of $8,756,291.

    On December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  acquired,  subject to a leveraged
lease, an aircraft on lease with  Continental  Airlines,  Inc. The aircraft is a
1976 McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 and has a remaining lease term of six years. The
purchase  price  was  $11,320,923  consisting  of  $2,104,262  in  cash  and the
assumption of non-recourse senior debt of $9,216,661.

     Prior to the acquisition of the Federal Express transaction,  the free cash
flow,  the rent in  excess of the  senior  debt  payments,  was  financed  by an
affiliated  partnership,  ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,  Series D, (i.e.,  the
junior debt). On January 29, 1997, the  Partnership  refinanced a portion of the
junior debt with a third party.

8.  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.

    On December 31,  1996,  the  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P. Series E ("Series E") formed ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C.  III
("ICON  Cash Flow LLC  III"),  for the  purpose of  acquiring  and  managing  an
aircraft currently on lease to Continental Airlines, Inc. The aircraft is a 1976
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30.  The Partnership and Series E contributed $1,579,514
(99%) and $15,955 (1%) of the cash required for such acquisition,  respectively,
to ICON  Cash  Flow LLC III.  ICON  Cash  Flow LLC III  acquired  the  aircraft,
assuming  $9,309,759 in non-recourse debt and utilizing  contributions  received
from the Partnership and Series E. The purchase price of the transaction totaled
$10,905,228.  The lease is a leveraged lease and the lease term expires in March
2003. Profits, losses, excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated 99% to
the  Partnership  and 1% to Series  E. The  Partnership's  financial  statements
include 100% of the assets and liabilities of ICON Cash Flow LLC III. Series E's
investment in ICON Cash Flow LLC III has been reflected as "Minority interest in
joint venture."

10.  Commitments and Contingencies

     On March 11,  1997,  the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series D and ICON Cash Flow Partners  L.P. Six,  (collectively
"the Members"), contributed and assigned $6,582,150,  $8,671,773 and $6,712,631,
respectively,  in equipment lease and finance  receivables and residuals to ICON
Receivables  1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose  entity  created by the
Members.  The Members received a 29.4%, 40.8% and 29.8% interest,  respectively,
in 1997-A based on the present value of their related contributions.  1997-A was
formed for the purpose of originating new leases,  managing existing contributed
assets  and,  eventually,  securitizing  its  portfolio.  In  order  to fund the
acquisition of new leases,  1997-A obtained a warehouse  borrowing facility from
Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the "Facility").  Borrowings under the
Facility are based on the present value of the new leases,  provided that in the
aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $20,000,000. Outstanding amounts
under the  Facility  bear  interest  equal to Libor  plus 1.5%.  Collections  of
receivables from new leases are used to pay down the Facility,  however,  in the
event of a default,  all of 1997-A's  assets are available to cure such default.
The net proceeds from the expected  securitization  of these assets will be used
to pay-off the remaining  Facility  balance and the  remaining  proceeds will be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their  membership  interests.  The
Partnership  will account for its  investment in 1997-A under the equity method.
The  investment  in 1997-A will be increased or decreased by its share of profit
or losses and decreased by any distributions received by 1997-A.

                                                          ============

     As of December 31, 1996,  the partners'  capital  accounts  included in the
financial  statements  totaled  $22,865,854  compared to the  partners'  capital
accounts  for  federal  income tax  purposes  of  $26,326,924  (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.
