Partners L.P. Seven, and ICON Securities Corp. (the "Dealer-Manager"). ICON
Holdings is a joint venture between Summit Asset Holding L.L.C., a subsidiary of
a diversified financial and business services group based in the United Kingdom,
and Warrenton Capital Partners, L.L.C., which was formed by two of the founders

leases and lease portfolios. In connection with the acquisition, the following
changes have been made in the management of the General Partner and the
Dealer-Manager.
Peter D. Beekman, Cortes E. DeRussy, Charles Duggan and Susan H. Beekman
have resigned their positions with the General Partner, and Peter D. Beekman and
Susan H. Beekman have resigned their positions with the Dealer-Manager.
In partial payment of the purchase price of the acquisition, ICON Holdings
issued promissory notes to Peter D. Beekman, the seller, which is guaranteed by
the General Partner and the Dealer-Manager and secured by a pledge of the
capital stock of the General Partner and the Dealer-Manager held by ICON
Holdings and by certain fees payable to the General Partner and the
Dealer-Manager.

investment objectives or policies of the Partnership, nor has there been any
change in the terms of the Partnership Agreement or the plan of distribution for
the Units as a result of this change in management.

RELATED CHANGES TO PROSPECTUS AS A RESULT OF CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
The material in the first paragraph under the heading "OTHER OFFERINGS
BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES - Prior Non Public Programs", on page
43 of the Prospectus, and the material under the same heading on Supplement No.
2 should be deleted because the entities these materials describe are no longer
Affiliates of the General Partner.
The material under the heading "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
PARTNERSHIP", on page 44 of the Prospectus should be replaced in its entirety
with the following:
"The following diagram shows the relationship of the Partnership and the
General Partner with certain Affiliates of the General Partner. The solid

The second paragraph under the heading "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES - Credit Review Procedures", on page 48 of the Prospectus, and the
material under the same heading on page 8 of Supplement No. 2, which describe
the role and nature of the Credit Committee, are revised to reflect the
expansion of that Committee from four persons to five persons and to identify
the current members of the Committee. Accordingly, the second paragraph on page
48 of the Prospectus should be considered replaced in its entirety by the
following:
"The General Partner has established a Credit Committee, which has set,
and may from time to time revise, standards and procedures for the review
and approval of potential Leases and Financing Transactions by the credit
department of the General Partner (including, without limitation, the

the day-to-day work of the credit department and approving significant
individual transactions or portfolio purchases as well as transactions which
vary from standard credit criteria and policies. The Credit Committee will,
at all times, consist of five persons designated by the General Partner. It
is anticipated that all five persons comprising the credit Committee will be
and will continue to be officers and employees of the General Partner or an
Affiliate of the General Partner. Action by the Credit Committee shall be
determined by a majority and a report of any action taken thereby shall
promptly be delivered to the General Partner. As of the date of this
Prospectus, the members of the Credit Committee are Beaufort J. B. Clarke,

limited partnerships with objectives similar to the Partnership. The General
Partner and its Affiliates have also engaged in the past and may in the

leasing or financing transactions which do not meet the investment criteria
established by the General Partner and the Prior Public Programs (such as
creditworthiness, equipment types, excess transaction size or concentration
by lessee, location or industry).

offering which was registered had been admitted as Limited Partners to the
Series E partnership. As of November 8, 1995, L.P. Six had held 41 closings
beginning March 31, 1994 and including November 8, 1995, following which a

and held limited partnership interests equal to $38,385,712 out of the
original $120,000,000 offering which was registered, had been admitted to
the Partnership. See Exhibit B to this Supplement--TABLE I. "EXPERIENCE IN
RAISING AND INVESTING FUNDS for more information.
The Prior Public Programs are all actively engaged in the ownership and
operation of Leases and Financing Transactions. As of March 31, 1997, the
Prior Public Programs had originated or acquired investments (stated in
terms of their respective original acquisition costs) as follows: Series A

cost of investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold)
consisting of $250,782 of leases and $623,093 of financing transactions
which represents 4% and 40% of the original cost of investments acquired,
respectively. Series B had equipment under management (by original cost of
investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold) consisting
of $4,433,690 of leases and $1,626,449 of financing transactions which

respectively, Series C had equipment under management (determined as above)

which represents 13% and 65% of the original cost of investments acquired,
respectively, Series D had equipment under management (determined as above)
consisting of $32,327,487 of leases and $3,675,855 of financing transactions
which represents 30% and 19% of the original cost of investments acquired,
respectively, Series E had equipment under management (determined as above)

management (determined as above) consisting of $107,734,916 of leases and
$5,571,085 of financing transactions which represents 76% and 45% of the
original cost of investments acquired, respectively.
The percentages and amounts of cash distributions which represented
investment income (after deductions for depreciation and amortization of
initial direct costs of its investments) and a return of capital
(corresponding to a portion of the depreciation deductions for the related
equipment) for Series A through L.P. Six for each year from their respective
dates of formation through March 31, 1997 are included in TABLE III of
Exhibit B of Cumulative Supplement No. 3 ("Operating Results of Prior Public
Programs"). Certain additional investment information concerning such
Programs as of March 31, 1997 is also included in Tables I, II and V of
Exhibit B to this Supplement No. 3 and in Table VI to the Registration
Statement, as amended, of which this Prospectus is a part.
Three of the Prior Public Programs, Series A, Series B and Series C
experienced unexpected losses in 1992 as shown on TABLE III of Exhibit B to
Cumulative Supplement No. 3. Series A experienced losses of $133,569 in 1992
primarily related to the bankruptcy of Richmond Gordman Stores, Inc. In
1992, Series B wrote down its residual positions by $506,690, $138,218 of
which was related to the bankruptcy of Richmond Gordman Stores, Inc. and
$368,472 of which was related to rapid obsolescence of equipment due to
unexpected withdrawal of software support by the manufacturer. Series C
wrote-down its residual position in 1992 by $1,412,365 relating to the
bankruptcy of PharMor, Inc. which involved the reported misappropriation of
funds by the management of such company and the overstatement of inventory
on its audited financial statements. The Sponsor has taken certain steps
which it believes will permit Series A, Series B and Series C to recover
such losses, including the following: (1) foregone Administrative Expense
reimbursements for the period July 1, 1991 through September 30, 1993, to
which it was otherwise entitled in the amount of $34,961 (Series A),
$697,463 (Series B) and $859,961 (Series C); (2) reduced the annual cash
distribution rate to 9% effective September 1, 1993 for Series A, B and C to
make available additional funds for supplemental reinvestments for each of
such Programs; (3) deferred the Sponsor's receipt of management fees
effective September 1, 1993 (which deferrals for the period September 1,
1993 through March 31, 1997 amount to $36,672 (Series A), $127,000 (Series
B) and $608,396 (Series C)); (4) effective January 1, 1994 reduced the
management fees which Series A, Series B and Series C each pays to the
Sponsor to a flat rate of 2% and effective January 1, 1995 further reduced
the management fees which Series A pays to the Sponsor to a flat rate of 1%,
which fee reductions have resulted in decreases in expenses to such Programs
for the period January 1, 1994 to March 31, 1997 of $35,276 (Series A),
$300,503 (Series B) through November 15, 1995 and $470,458 (Series C); (5)
effective January 31, 1994, converted the variable rate borrowing facilities
of Series A, B and C to fixed rate, term loan financings in the original
principal amounts of $720,000, $1,600,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, to
eliminate interest rate risk on the related portions of such Programs'
portfolios; (6) effective January 31, 1995, amended the partnership
agreement of Series A, by vote of a majority of its limited partners to (a)
extend the reinvestment period of Series A by not less than 2 nor more than
4 years, (b) authorize loans by the Sponsor to Series A under certain
conditions for a term in excess of twelve months and up to $250,000, and (c)
(as noted in clause (4), above) decrease the rate of management fees payable
by Series A to the Sponsor to a flat 1% of gross revenues from all of its
leases and financing transactions (pursuant to the amendments, the Sponsor,
in February and March 1995, lent $75,000 and $100,000, respectively, to
Series A); and (7) effective November 15, 1995, amended the Partnership
Agreement of Series B, by vote of a majority of its Limited Partners to (a)
extend the reinvestment period of Series B for up to four additional years
and thereby delay the start and end of the liquidation period, and (b)
eliminate the obligation of Series B to pay the General Partner $391,000 of
the $518,000 of past and anticipated Management Fees, and (c) limit past
Management Fees payable by Series B to $127,000 and require the General
Partner to immediately pay such amount to Series B as an additional capital
contribution. The Sponsor subsequently elected to write off such loans as of
March 31, 1995 (see Note (4) of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Sponsor appearing on Page 119 of this Prospectus). There can be no assurance
that the forgoing steps will be successful in recovering the full amount of
the losses of Series A, Series B and Series C which are described in this
paragraph. To the extent such efforts are not successful and, as a result,
Series A, Series B or Series C do not earn sufficient amounts through their
respective remaining periods of operations to recoup such losses, any of
such Programs so effected would not be able to return all of its respective
investors' capital.
Please see Exhibit B to this Supplement No. 3, "Prior Performance Tables",
for additional information concerning the Prior Public Programs and to
update the information on pages B-1 to B-32 of the Prospectus and to update
and replace the information on pages B-1 through B-38 of Supplement No. 2
which have been deleted from Supplement No. 2.
The General Partner hereby agrees that it will provide the most recent
Form 10-K for any of the Prior Public Programs, upon written request (with
no fee but with reimbursement of its actual out of pocket costs and expenses
of copying and mailing such Form 10-K) and provide copies of the exhibits to
such Form 10-K for a reasonable fee and with reimbursement of its actual out
of pocket costs and expenses of copying and mailing such exhibits to such
Form 10-K."

UPDATE OF MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
The material under the headings "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and under the heading "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--Operations" in the Prospectus is updated as
described below. In addition, this material replaces the material updating the
same sections in Supplement No. 2.
Management's Discussion of Financial Condition--Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The material on page 79 of the Prospectus under the heading "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--Liquidity and Capital Resources", is updated
by deleting the entire section and replacing it with the following:
"The Partnership began its operations upon the Initial Closing Date of
January 19, 1996 with limited funds. Following completion of the Minimum
Offering of 12,000 Units, the proceeds of Units sold to Limited Partners
admitted at the Initial Closing were released to the Partnership from the
Escrow Account (and at subsequent Closings, from the Partnership's
subscription account), and applied to the payment or reimbursement of
Underwriting Fees, Sales Commissions and the O & O Expense Allowance,
leaving estimated Net Offering Proceeds available in the amount of
approximately 86.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds for investment in
Equipment and Financing Transactions and payment of Acquisition Fees (unless
Commission Loans equal to 8.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds are obtained at
such Closing(s), in which case Net Offering Proceeds and Commission Loan
proceeds totaling approximately 94.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds would be
available for such purposes). As of June 13, 1997, $32,988,034 of net
offering proceeds (after payment of Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees and
O & O Expense Allowance totaling $5,148,422--or 13.5% of Gross Offering
Proceeds) had become available to the Partnership from Closings held through
June 13 1997, and consequently, only a portion of the capital anticipated to
be raised by the Partnership through the public offering of Units is
available on the date of this Prospectus. The Partnership plans to continue
to raise funds from investors by means of this Offering, and then to use
approximately 75% of Gross Offering Proceeds (inclusive of 1% of such
proceeds to established as a Reserve) together with indebtedness in at least
an equal amount to invest in Equipment and Financing Transactions. That is,
the Partnership's total Purchase Price (exclusive of Acquisition Fees) of
Equipment and Financing Transactions is expected to average approximately
150.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (although as much as 415.0% of Gross
Offering Proceeds could be invested using the maximum permitted leverage of
80%). (See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED
INDEBTEDNESS").
Pending investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions, the Net
Offering Proceeds of this Offering will be held in short-term, liquid
investments. The Partnership intends to establish a working capital reserve
(the "Reserve") of approximately 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, which
amount the General Partner believes should be sufficient to satisfy the
Partnership's general liquidity requirements. However, liquidity could be
adversely affected by unanticipated operating costs or losses. To the extent
that the Reserve is insufficient to satisfy future cash requirements of the
Partnership, the General Partner expects that additional funds would be
obtained from bank loans, short-term loans from the General Partner, and
Cash from Sales of Equipment and Financing Transactions.
The Partnership's funds available for Investments and to meet its capital
needs are expected to undergo major fluctuations during the initial period
of operations of up to twenty-four (24) months while this Offering is
proceeding and during the period (expected to be completed no later than six
(6) months thereafter) during which the Partnership's funds are being
invested in Equipment and Financing Transactions. During the balance of its
operating period, except for infusions of Cash From Operations and Cash From
Sales and reinvestment of such funds in additional Equipment and Financing
Transactions, the capital needs and resources of the Partnership are
expected to be relatively stable. For information concerning the anticipated
use of proceeds from the sale of Units, see "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING
PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" and "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES"."
Management's Discussion of Financial Condition -- Operations
The material on page 79 of the Prospectus under the heading "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--Operations", is updated by deleting the first
paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"The Partnership was formed in May 1995 and commenced operations on January
19, 1996. During this period commencing with the Initial Closing Date and
continuing throughout the Reinvestment Period, the Partnership has been and
will be in active operation. The operations of the Partnership will consist
primarily of the ownership and leasing of the Equipment and to a lesser
degree, making and managing the Financing Transactions. See "INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES"."
Please see Exhibit C to this Supplement No. 3, "ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.
Seven Equipment Acquisitions", for information concerning the status of
equipment acquisitions the Partnership.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
(the "Partnership") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair statement of income for each period shown.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information represented not misleading. The results for the interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. 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 currently on lease to Federal Express. 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 of $8,756,291.
On December 31, 1996 the Partnership acquired, subject to a leveraged
lease, the residual interest in an aircraft. The aircraft is a 1976 McDonnell
Douglas DC-10-30 currently on lease to Continental Airlines. 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.
The net investment in leveraged leases as of March 31, 1997 consisted of the
following:
Non-cancelable minimum rents receivable (net of
principal and interest on non-recourse debt) $ 910,000
Estimated unguaranteed residual values 24,818,000
Initial direct costs 1,428,392
Unearned income (16,858,255)
----------------
$ 10,298,137
Unearned income is recognized from leveraged leases over the life of the
lease at a constant rate of return on the positive net investment.
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.

3. Related Party Transactions
Fees and other expenses paid or accrued by the Partnership to the General
Partner or its affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
were as follows:
1997 1996
---- ----
Underwriting commissions $ 111,761 $ 179,419 Charged to Equity
Organization and offering 195,582 313,200 Charged to Equity

Management fees 357,477 13,436 Charged to operations
Administrative expense
reimbursements 151,194 5,898 Charged to operations
------------ ------------
Total $ 2,130,907 $ 658,720
============ ============
On March 11, 1997, the Partnership borrowed $4,250,000 from ICON
Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997- A"), an affiliate of the Partnership (see Note
4). This is a short term note, which bears interest at the rate of Libor plus
1.5% and is paid from the Partnership's share of cash flow and securitization
proceeds from the equipment lease and finance receivables.
4. Investment in Joint Venture
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 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, $5,794,273 and $6,712,631
in equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value
of $5,465,238, $4,874,857 and $5,553,962, respectively to ICON Receivables
1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created by the Members. The
Members received a 34.39%, 30.67% and 34.94% 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 accounts for its investment in 1997- A under the equity method.

General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
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 $2,636,795.17
of capital contributions. Through March 31, 1997, 305,053.03 additional units
were subscribed to, bringing the total units and capital subscriptions to
331,420.98 and $33,142,098, respectively.
The Partnership's portfolio consisted of a net investment in finance
leases, leveraged leases, equity investment in joint venture and financings
representing 78%, 14%, 7% and 1% of total investments at March 31, 1997,
respectively and 95%, 0%, 0% and 5% at March 31, 1996, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership
leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $44,009,376 and
$4,894,1546, respectively to 15 and 9 lessees or equipment users respectively.
The weighted average initial transaction term for each year was 44 and 38 months
respectively.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,558,019,
representing an increase of $1,482,884 from 1996. The increase in revenues
resulted primarily from an increase in finance income of $1,050,175, an increase
in income from leveraged leases of $380,630, an increase in net gain on sales or
remarketing of equipment of $32,891 and an increase in income from equity
investment in joint venture of $20,808. These increases were partially offset by
a decrease in interest income and other of $1,620. The increase in finance
income resulted from the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1996
to 1997. Income from leveraged leases, and income from equity investment in
joint venture increased due to the Partnership's increased investment in these
types of transactions. The net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
increased due to the early termination of a financing transaction. Interest
income and other decreased due to a decrease in the average cash balance from
1996 to 1997.
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,432,476,
representing an increase of $1,364,200 from 1996. The increase in expenses was
due to an increase in interest expense of $539,644, an increase in management
fees of $344,041, an increase in amortization of initial direct costs of
$301,372, an increase in administrative expense reimbursements of $145,296, an
increase in general and administrative expense of $32,753 and an increase in
minority interest in joint venture of $1,094. Interest expense increased due to
an increase in the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. Management fees,
amortization of initial direct costs, administrative expense reimbursement and
general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in the average
size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$125,543 and $6,859, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $0.40 and $0.15, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 were capital contributions, net of offering expenses, of
$4,833,663 and $7,740,504, from limited partners, respectively, net cash
provided by operations of $256,944 in 1996, proceeds from sale of equipment of
$1,793,586 in 1997 and proceeds from affiliate note of $4,250,000 in 1997. These
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 March
31, 1997 and 1996, which were paid monthly, totaled $767,568 and $48,957,
respectively, of which $124,288 and $6,790 was investment income and $643,280
and $42,167 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distributions rate to limited partners was 9.8% and 4.4% of which 1.6% and .6%
was investment income and 8.2% and 3.8% was a return of capital, respectively.
The limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $2.45 and $1.09, respectively, of
which $.40 and $.15 was investment income and $2.05 and $.94 was a return of
capital, respectively.
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, $5,794,273 and $6,712,631
in equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value
of $5,465,238, $4,874,857 and $5,553,962, respectively to ICON Receivables
1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created by the Members. The
Members received a 34.39%, 30.67% and 34.94% 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 accounts for its investment in 1997-A under the equity method.
As of March 31, 1997, 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 where it deems it to be prudent while retaining sufficient cash to
meet its reserve requirements and recurring obligations as they become due.

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

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

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.
11. Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following table reconciles net income for financial reporting purposes
to income for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 1996:

Direct finance leases (258,725)
Depreciation -
Provision for losses -
Loss on sale of equipment -

Partnership income for
federal income tax purposes $ 146,726
==============
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.

General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
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. 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.
The Partnership's portfolio consisted of net investments in finance
leases, equity investment, leveraged leases and financings representing 42%,
26%, 21% and 11% of total investments at December 31, 1996, respectively.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1996
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership leased or financed
equipment with an initial cost of $91,413,135 to 198 lessees or equipment users.
On December 31, 1996, the Partnership and an affiliate, ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P., Series E ("Series E"), formed a joint venture for the purpose of acquiring
and managing an aircraft currently on lease to Continental Airlines, Inc. in the
amount of $10,905,228 and is included in 1996 total acquisitions. The aircraft
is a 1976 McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30. Series E and the Partnership contributed
$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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(1) Organization
ICON Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1985. Until August
20, 1996, the Company was owned by Peter D. Beekman, the Company's former
President and Charles Duggan and Cortes DeRussy, the Company's former
Executive Vice Presidents. On August 20, 1996, ICON Holdings Corp.
("Holdings" or the "Parent") acquired all of the outstanding stock of the
Company, as well as all of the outstanding stock of ICON Securities Corp.
("Securities"), an affiliated company. Holdings is a joint venture fifty
percent owned by Summit Asset Holding L.L.C., a subsidiary of a diversified
financial and business services group based in the United Kingdom and fifty
percent owned by Warrenton Capital Partners L.L.C. ("Warrenton"), which was
formed by two of the founders of Griffin Equity Partners, Inc., a U.S.
company engaged in the acquisition of leases and lease portfolios. The
primary activity of the Company is the development, marketing and
management of publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships.
The Company also provides consulting services to unrelated parties in
connection with the acquisition and administration of lease transactions.
The Company is the general partner and manager of ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P.,Series A ("ICON Cash Flow A"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series B
("ICON Cash Flow B"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series C ("ICON Cash
Flow C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series D ("ICON Cash Flow D"),
ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("ICON Cash Flow E") , ICON Cash
Flow Partners L.P. Six ("ICON Cash Flow Six") and ICON Cash Flow Partners
L.P. Seven ("ICON Cash Flow Seven") (collectively the "Partnerships"),
which are publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships. The
Partnerships were formed for the purpose of acquiring equipment and leasing
such equipment to third parties. The Company's investments in the
Partnerships of $7,000 are carried at cost and are included in prepaid and
other assets.
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships on the sale of Partnership
units. Additionally, the Company also earns acquisition and management fees
and shares in Partnership cash distributions. ICON Cash Flow Seven, the
newest partnership, was formed on May 23, 1995 with an initial capital
contribution of $1,000 and began offering its units to suitable investors
on November 9, 1995. The Company earned fees from the sale of ICON Cash
Flow Seven units upon its initial closing and will continue to earn fees
thereafter on each subsequent closing. The offering period for ICON Cash
Flow Seven will end 24 months after the Partnership began offering such
units, November 9, 1997.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The Company's financial
statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis of
accounting using 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.
(b) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No.
107"), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The fair
value of the Company's financial instruments (cash and receivables)
approximate the carry value at March 31, 1997.
(c) Revenue and Cost Recognition
Income Fund Fees:
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships for the organization and
offering of each Partnership and for the acquisition, management and
administration of their lease portfolios. Organization and offering
fees are earned based on investment units sold and are recognized at
each closing. Acquisition fees are earned based on the purchase price
paid or the principal amount of each transaction entered into.
Management and administrative fees are earned for actively managing the
leasing, re-leasing, financing and refinancing of Partnership equipment
and financing transactions and for the administration of the
Partnerships. Management and administrative fees are earned based
primarily on gross rental payments.
The Company had accounts receivable due from the Partnerships of
$1,323,502 and $2,023,380 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Included in these amounts are receivables of $758,452 and $667,824,
respectively, due from ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash
Flow C relating to management fees which have been earned, but deferred
since September 1, 1993, as discussed below.
<PAGE>
ICON CAPITAL CORP.
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
Under the Partnership agreements, the Company is entitled to management
fees from the Partnerships. Management fees are subordinate to the
preferred cash distributions to limited partners, on a cumulative
basis, during the period of reinvestment. Effective September 1, 1993,
ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B, and ICON Cash Flow C decreased the
monthly distribution rate to limited partners from the cash
distribution rates stated in their prospectuses. Currently such
distribution rates are at an annual rate of 9%. As a result of the
decreased distribution rate, all management fees payable to the Company
related to these entities have been deferred until the limited partners
of ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C have
received their stated cash distribution rate of return on a cumulative
basis. Management fees deferred for the period September 1, 1993 to
March 31, 1997 totaled $758,452 and were comprised of $36,263 for ICON
Cash Flow A, $127,000 for ICON Cash Flow B and $595,189 for ICON Cash
Flow C. Such amounts are included in receivables due from managed
income funds as well as in deferred management fees on the March 31,
1997 balance sheet.
Lease Consulting Fees:
The Company earns consulting fees for arranging lease financing
transactions between unrelated third parties. Such fees are recognized
as income when the unrelated third parties consummate the lease
financing transaction.
(d) Deferred Charges
Under the terms of the Partnerships' agreements, the Company is
entitled to be reimbursed for the costs of organizing and offering the
units of the Partnerships from the gross proceeds raised, subject to
certain limitations, based on the number of investment units sold. The
unamortized balance of these costs are included on the balance sheets
as deferred charges and are being amortized over the offering period.
(e) Fixed Assets and Leasehold Improvements
Fixed assets, which consist primarily of computer equipment, software
and furniture and fixtures, are recorded at cost and are being
depreciated over three to five years using the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are also recorded at cost and are being
amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements, or the
term of the lease, if shorter, using the straight-line method.
(f) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease
The Company's investment in equipment under operating lease was
recorded at cost and the equipment was being depreciated to estimated
salvage value. Both lease rentals and depreciation were recognized on
the straight line basis over the lease term. The Company, on a
non-recourse basis, financed the purchase of the equipment with a
financial institution. Interest on the related non-recourse financing
was calculated under the interest method. The excess of rental income
over depreciation and related interest expense represents the net
amount earned under this transaction. The lease terminated in fiscal
1997 and a gain of $1,694 was recognized on disposition.

(g) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes following the liability
method as provided for in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 109 (" SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes."
The Company will file stand alone Federal and state income tax returns
for the period April 1, 1996 to August 20, 1996. Thereafter the
Company's activity will be included in the combined Federal and state
income tax returns of Holdings.
(3) Stockholder's Equity
As of March 31, 1997, Holdings had an outstanding demand promissory note
for $1,100,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 18% only in the
event of default. The note is reflected, for financial statement reporting
purposes, as a reduction from stockholders' equity.
(4) Related Party Transactions
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships for the organization and
offering of each Partnership and for the acquisition, management and
administration of their lease portfolios. Receivables from managed income
funds primarily relate to such fees earned from the Partnerships. The
Company also earns a management fee from Securities for the support and
administration of Securities' operations. Receivables from affiliates are
due from entities controlled by Holdings. These receivables relate
primarily to the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Company on behalf of
such entities.
In 1996, pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the limited partners in ICON
Cash Flow B agreed to the following two amendments to their Partnership
Agreement: (1) extend the Reinvestment Period for a maximum of four
additional years, and (2) eliminate ICON Cash Flow B's obligation to pay
the Company $228,906 of the $355,906 in deferred management fees which were
outstanding as of November 15, 1995, the original end of the Reinvestment
Period. The elimination of these fees reduced receivables from related
parties - managed income funds and deferred management fees - related
parties in the same amount. In addition, the remaining $127,000 in deferred
management fees, when paid to the Company, would be returned to ICON Cash
Flow B in the form of an additional capital contribution.
For the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company paid $3,633,416 in
distributions to Holdings.
5) Prepaid and Other Assets
Included in prepaid and other assets are unamortized insurance costs, the
Company's investment in the Partnerships and sublease receivables.

=========== ==========
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between
the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. The deferred tax liability at March 31, 1997 and 1996
represents the net of deferred tax assets of $91,979 and $620,189,
respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $347,155 and $1,104,133,
respectively for March 31, 1997 and 1996. Deferred income taxes at March
31, 1997 are primarily the result of temporary differences relating to the
carrying value of fixed assets, equipment under an operating lease, the
investments in the Partnerships, and deferred charges.
The following table reconciles income taxes computed at the federal
statutory rate to the Company's effective tax rate for the years ended

(8) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease
On December 12, 1993, the Company invested $5,340,436 in manufacturing
equipment and leased such equipment to a third party user for a two year
period with rent commencing on January 1, 1994. Rentals were payable
monthly in advance. Simultaneously with the purchase of the equipment, the
Company, on a non-recourse basis, obtained $5,393,840 in financing from a
financial institution, of which $5,340,436 of such proceeds were paid
directly to the equipment vendor to satisfy the cost of the equipment. The
excess of the proceeds from the financing over the cost of the equipment,
$53,404, was paid directly to the Company and was earned over the two year
period of the lease. All rental payments by the lessee were paid directly
to the financial institution. The original non-recourse financing bore
interest at a rate of 6.6%, and was paid in 24 monthly installments of
$55,097 through December 1995, with a final payment of $4,699,584 due in
January 1996.
Effective January 1, 1996, the lessee renewed the lease and the bank
extended the term of the collateralized non-recourse note. The terms of the
renewal required monthly rentals of $171,294, payable by the lessee in
advance, for two years. Such rental payments continued to be paid directly
to the financial institution to reduce the loan, with interest now
calculated at 8.95%. The lease terminated in fiscal 1997 and a gain of
$1,694 was recognized on disposition.

$27,344 in interest on recourse financing, respectively.
Certain equipment, which the Company was carrying as investment in
equipment under operating lease, was paid for directly by a financing
institution. In connection with this transaction, the lessee's monthly
installments were remitted directly to the financing institution to
service the Company's non-recourse note payable, which was incurred when
the financing institution paid for the equipment on behalf of the Company.
For the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, such payments aggregated
$1,541,647 and $1,009,756, which was comprised of $1,293,775 and $676,028

(1) Interim tax information is not available.
(2) The difference between Net income (loss) - GAAP and Taxable income from
operations is due to different methods of calculating depreciation and
amortization, the use of the reserve method for providing for possible
doubtful accounts under GAAP and different methods of recognizing revenue
on Direct Finance Leases.
(3) The Partnership records a provision for bad debts to provide for estimated
credit losses in the portfolio. This policy is based on an analysis of the
aging of the Partnership's portfolio, a review of the non- performing
receivables and leases, prior collection experience and historical loss
experience.
(4) The Partnership records a write down to its residual position if it has
been determined to be impaired. Impairment generally occurs for one of two
reasons: (1) when the recoverable value of the underlying equipment falls
below the Partnership's carrying value or (2) when the primary security
holder has foreclosed on the underlying equipment in order to satisfy the
remaining lease obligation and the amount of proceeds received by the
primary security holder in excess of such obligation is not sufficient to
recover the Partnership's residual position.
(5) The Partnership's Reinvestment Period expired on November 15, 1995, five
years after the Final Closing Date. The General Partner distributed a
Definitive Consent Statement to the Limited Partners to solicit approval
of two amendments to the Partnership Agreement. As of March 20, 1996 these
amendments were agreed to and are effective from and after November 15,
1995. The amendments: (1) extend the Reinvestment Period for a maximum of
four additional years and likewise delay the start and end of the
Liquidation Period, and (2) eliminate the Partnership's obligation to pay
the General Partner $220,000 of the $347,000 accrued and unpaid management
fees as of November 15, 1995, and $171,000 of additional management fees
which would otherwise accrue during the present Liquidation Period. The
portion of the accrued and unpaid management fees that would be payable to
the General Partner, or $127,000 ($347,000 less $220,000) will be returned
to the Partnership in the form of an additional Capital Contribution by
the General Partner.

Direct Finance Leases.
(3) The program held its initial closing on September 13, 1991 and as of its
final closing date on June 5, 1992 it had eighteen (18) additional
semi-monthly closings. Taxable income from operations per $1,000 limited
partner investment is calculated based on the weighted average number of
limited partnership units outstanding during the period.
(4) The Partnership records a provision for bad debts to provide for estimated
credit losses in the portfolio. This policy is based on an analysis of the
aging of the Partnership's portfolio, a review of the non-performing
receivables and leases, prior collection experience and historical loss
experience.

(1) Interim tax information is not available.
(2) The difference between Net income (loss) - GAAP and Taxable income from
operations is due to different methods of calculating depreciation and
amortization, the use of the reserve method for providing for possible
doubtful accounts under GAAP and different methods of recognizing revenue on
Direct Finance Leases.
(3) The program held its initial closing on July 6, 1992 and as of its final
closing date of July 31, 1993 it had twenty-six (26) additional
semi-monthly closings. Taxable income from operations per $1,000 limited
partner investment is calculated based on the weighted average number of
limited partnership units outstanding during the period.
(4) The Partnership records a provision for bad debts to provide for estimated
credit losses in the portfolio. This policy is based on an analysis of the
aging of the Partnership's portfolio, a review of the non-performing
receivables and leases, prior collection experience and historical loss
experience.

Offering;
* Update Sponsor and Partnership Financials as of March 31, 1996; * Update the
Prior Performance of the Prior Public Programs; and * Update other relevant
sections
EACH POTENTIAL INVESTOR SHOULD THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE PROSPECTUS AND THIS
SUPPLEMENT PRIOR TO SUBSCRIBING FOR UNITS IN THE PARTNERSHIP.
-------------------------------
The following amendments are hereby made to the above-captioned Prospectus
effective as of the date of this Cumulative Supplement No. 2:
Cover Page is amended as follows:
1. The text of the eleventh "bullet" risk factor is deleted in its
entirety.
2. The subscript footnotes located in the columned chart are
renumbered.
3. The following sentence is added at the bottom of the page (in
italics):
"Any additional supplements which update this Prospectus are
contained inside the back cover."
Page 2 is amended as follows:
Footnote 1 is deleted in its entirety and the remaining footnotes are
renumbered.
Page 9, "SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING--Risk Factors--Partnership and Investment
Risks" section, is amended by the deletion of the last risk factor in its
entirety.
Page 10-11, "SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING--Terms of the Offering" section, is deleted
in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"Terms of the Offering
The Offering -- The Partnership is offering a minimum of 12,000 Units and a
maximum of 1,000,000 Units of limited partnership interests (or Units) in the
Partnership. Such offering is on a "best efforts" basis; that is, there is no
guarantee that any specified amount of money will be raised. Units will be
offered for sale by ICON Securities Corp. (the "Dealer-Manager") and
NASD-member firms (the "Selling Dealers") which have entered into Selling
Dealer Agreements with the Partnership.
Offering Period -- The Offering commenced on November 9, 1995 (the "Effective
Date") and will terminate no later than the date twenty-four (24) months after
such date. In most states, continued offering beyond one year after the
effective date in such state (see "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT
REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES" for a chart showing each state's
effective date) is subject to approval by the applicable state securities
authority. The Offering will terminate sooner than twenty-four (24) months if
either (1) the General Partner terminates the Offering earlier or (2)
subscriptions for the Maximum Offering of 1,000,000 Units are received prior
to the end of such period. The end of the Offering Period is also called the
Termination Date. Subscriptions for Units will only be accepted from the date
of this Prospectus until the Termination Date. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
Minimum Offering -- The Partnership received subscriptions in excess of 12,000
Units (the "Minimum Offering") and held its initial Closing on January 19,
1996 (the "Initial Closing").
Escrow Agent; Distribution of Escrow Interest -- Since the Minimum Offering
was received and the Initial Closing was held on January 19, 1996, all
subscription payments will now be deposited and held in a special, segregated,
interest-bearing subscription account of the Partnership with The Bank of New
York (NJ), a New Jersey banking corporation (or another banking institution
named by the General Partner), pending subsequent Closings. Each subscription
payment will earn interest from the time it is deposited in such account until
the subscriber is admitted to the Partnership. The interest so earned will be
paid to the subscriber upon his admission (or, if he is not admitted to the
Partnership, the date on which his subscription payment is returned to him).
Subscription -- Every investor must manually execute a Subscription Agreement
in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto in order to purchase Units. By
subscribing for Units, each investor (other than residents of the states
specified on Pages C-3 and C-4 of the Subscription Agreement) will be deemed
to have made all of the representations and warranties contained therein and
will be bound by all of the terms of such Agreement and of the Partnership
Agreement.
<PAGE>
Closings -- The Initial Closing was held on January 19, 1996, after
subscriptions for at least 12,000 Units had been received by the Escrow Agent,
at which time subscribers for at least such number of Units were admitted to
the Partnership as Limited Partners. After the Initial Closing Date, the
Partnership intends to hold Closings semi-monthly until the Offering is
completed or terminated.
Status of the Offering -- As of June 15, 1996, 825 Limited Partners (exclusive
of the Initial Limited Partner) with total subscriptions for 150,784.6499
Units ($15,078,464.99) had been admitted to the Partnership.
Investor Suitability -- To be eligible to purchase Units, all prospective
investors are required to comply with the Partnership's basic suitability
requirements. In general, prospective owners of Units must either have:
(i) both (A) a net worth of not less than $30,000 (determined exclusive of
the net fair market value of (a) his or her home, (b) home furnishings
and (c) personal automobiles) and (B) $30,000 of annual gross income; or
(ii)a net worth of at least $75,000 (determined as above).
Instead of the foregoing standards, to be admitted to the Partnership as a
Limited Partner a subscriber (or fiduciary acting on his, her or its behalf)
who is a resident of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Indiana,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont,
Washington or Wisconsin must have (1) either (a) a net worth of not less
than $45,000 (determined exclusive of the net fair market value of (i) his
or her home, (ii) home furnishings and (iii) personal automobiles) plus (b)
$45,000 of annual gross income or (2) a net worth of at least $150,000
(determined as above) and a subscriber (or fiduciary acting on his, her or
its behalf). In addition, subscribers who are residents of Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey and North Carolina
must have either (a) annual gross income of $60,000 plus a net worth of
$60,000 or (b) a net worth of at least $225,000. Finally, each subscriber
residing in Michigan or Pennsylvania must also have a net worth (exclusive
of home, home furnishings and automobiles) equal to the greater of (a) the
net worth requirements described under "Minimum Net Worth/Income" or (b) ten
times the amount to be invested by such investor (e.g., a $200,000 net worth
in order to invest $20,000). (See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM
INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES" and the Subscription
Agreement for a more detailed explanation of any specific state suitability
requirements).
Who Should Invest -- You should only invest in the Partnership if you (a)
are prepared to make an investment for the entire five (5) year (minimum) to
eight (8) year (maximum) Reinvestment Period following the Final Closing
Date as well as the additional liquidation period of from six (6) to
thirty-six (36) months thereafter, (b) have no need for liquidity of such
investment (except as may be provided by monthly cash distributions) and (c)
are prepared to assume the risks associated with such investment (see "RISK
FACTORS"). An investment in Units is not suitable for investors who will
need access to their Capital Contribution during the term of the Partnership
or for whom the projected monthly cash distributions are an essential source
of funds to pay their necessary living expenses. An investment also may
produce "unrelated business taxable income" for pension, profit-sharing and
other Qualified Plans in excess of applicable exemptions (See "INVESTMENT BY
QUALIFIED PLANS" for further information). Each potential investor should
review the information appearing under the captions "RISK FACTORS," "FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" and "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT
REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES" with particular care and should
consult his tax and investment advisors to determine (1) if an investment in
Units is appropriate for him in light of his particular tax and investment
situation and (2) if so, what portion of his total investment portfolio may
prudently be invested in Partnership Units.
Minimum Investment -- All investors other than Qualified Plans and IRAs: The
minimum investment by an investor (whether by subscription or through
resale) is generally 25 Units (other than with respect to residents of
Nebraska, for whom the minimum investment is 50 Units). Qualified Plans and
IRAs: The minimum number of Units which a Qualified Plan or an IRA may
purchase is 10 Units, except for Qualified Plans and IRAs established by
residents of the following states: Arizona, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington (which
have established a 20 Unit minimum IRA and Qualified Plan minimum
investment) and for Iowa residents (which has established a 25 Unit minimum
IRA and Qualified Plan minimum investment). (See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND
MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES" and the form of
Subscription Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto). Subscribers who
satisfy such minimum purchase requirements may subscribe for additional
Units and fractions of Units during the Offering Period."
Page 13, "SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING--Investment Objectives and Policies" section,
is amended by the deletion of the first paragraph of such section and replacing
it with the following paragraph:
"The Partnership intends to acquire and lease various types of Equipment,
primarily within the United States, to businesses which the General Partner
determines are Creditworthy. The Partnership will also provide financing to
these same types of businesses secured by tangible and intangible personal
property and other or additional collateral located primarily within the
United States which the General Partner determines to be sufficient in
amounts and types to provide adequate security for the current and future
obligations of such borrowers. The General Partner estimates that
approximately one-third of Net Offering Proceeds will be invested in
Financing Transactions and Leases which produce portfolio income although
the General Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to invest up to
one-half of the Partnership's funds in Financing Transactions as well as
Leases or other transactions which produce portfolio income if, in its sole
discretion, it believes such Investments to be in the best interests of the
Partnership. For the purposes of this Prospectus, the term "Creditworthy"
means, when used herein with respect to a prospective Lessee or User, that
(1) the Credit Committee of the General Partner has made the determination,
in its reasonable business judgment, after review of financial, credit,
operational and other information concerning such Lessee or User, that such
party is currently able, and is expected to continue throughout the term of
such transaction to be able, to meet its obligations to the Partnership in a
timely and complete manner, (2) the Lease or Financing Transaction is
adequately secured by equipment and/or other collateral obtained, directly
or indirectly, from the Lessee or User (or a guarantor or other party) and
(3) the Lessee or User has satisfied substantially all other criteria
established by the Credit Committee as a condition to the Partnership's
investment in such Lease or Financing Transaction. (See "INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Credit Review Procedures" for a discussion of the
procedures used by the General Partner to determine the Creditworthiness of
potential Lessees and Users)."
Page 17, "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Investment Delay"
section, is amended by deleting the third sentence in such section and replacing
it with the following:
"However, the Partnership Agreement requires that all Net Offering Proceeds from
the sale of the Units, after deduction of Front-End Fees, be invested, or
committed to investment, in Equipment, Leases, Financing Transactions and
Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds), by November 9, 1997,
within 24 months from the Effective Date of the Offering (or, if later, within
12 months of receipt of such Net Offering Proceeds)."
Page 21, "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Subscription Payments"
section is deleted in its entirety.
<PAGE>
Page 24-25, "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" is
amended as follows:
1. By deleting the first paragraph and the table below it and
replacing them with the following:
The following tables set forth the General Partner's best estimate of the use
of the Gross Offering Proceeds from the sale of the Minimum Offering
($1,200,000) and the Maximum Offering ($100,000,000). Because the Partnership
has not made all of its acquisitions, certain of the amounts below cannot be
precisely calculated at the present time and may vary substantially from these
estimates. As shown below, it is projected that 74.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds
will be used to make investments in Equipment and Financing Transactions
(assuming 80% leverage). See footnote 8 to the following table.

2. By adding the following Footnote 8 to the end of such section:
"(8)The Partnership began operations as of January 19, 1996 with initial
capitalization of $2,280,827.80 (after payment of Sales Commissions,
Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense Allowance totalling $355,967.37--or
13.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds). As of June 15, 1996, an additional
$729,420.04 of net offering proceeds (after payment of Sales Commissions,
Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense Allowance totalling $113,840.12--or
13.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds) had become available to the Partnership
from Closings held through June 15, 1996."
Page 35, "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION" section is amended by the deletion of the
second paragraph and replacing it with the following:
"Assuming the sale of 1,000,000 Units in 1996, the General Partner estimates
that it would incur the following expenses which would be potentially eligible
to be reimbursed by the Partnership in 1996 pursuant to 6.4(i) of the
Partnership Agreement (subject to the limitations on such reimbursements
described below):"
<PAGE>
Page 41-43, "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES-Prior
Public Programs" section is amended by deleting the entire section and replacing
it with the following paragraphs:
"Prior Public Programs
The General Partner was formed in 1985 to finance and lease equipment, and
sponsor and act as the general partner for publicly offered, income-oriented
equipment leasing limited partnerships. In addition to the Partnership, the
General Partner is the general partner of ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series
A ("Series A"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series B ("Series B"), ICON Cash
Flow Partners, L.P., Series C ("Series C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P.,
Series D ("Series D"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("Series E") and
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P. Six") which, together with Series A,
Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E is referred to collectively as the
"Prior Public Programs"). The Prior Public Programs were (or are in the case of
L.P. Six) also publicly-offered and income-oriented equipment leasing limited
partnerships with objectives similar to the Partnership. The General Partner and
its Affiliates have also engaged in the past and may in the future engage, to a
limited extent, in the business of brokering equipment leasing or financing
transactions which do not meet the investment criteria established by the
General Partner and the Prior Public Programs (such as creditworthiness,
equipment types, excess transaction size or concentration by lessee, location or
industry).
In addition, until 1985 Affiliates of the General Partner were engaged in the
business of originating privately-offered real estate investment and equipment
leasing programs which they continue to manage primarily for the benefit of
non-Affiliated parties.
As of February 1, 1989 (the final date for admission of its limited partners),
Series A had held twelve closings beginning May 6, 1988 and ending January 8,
1989, and had received a total of $2,504,500 in limited partner capital
contributions from 222 investors. As of November 16, 1990 (the final date for
admission of its limited partners), Series B had held twenty-seven closings
beginning September 22, 1989 and ending on November 16, 1990 following which a
total of 1,742 investors, holding limited partnership interests equal to the
entire $20,000,000 offering of such partnership, were admitted as limited
partners in the Series B partnership. As of June 20, 1991 (the final date for
admission of its limited partners), Series C had held thirteen closings
beginning January 3, 1991 and ending on June 20, 1991 following which a total of
1,732 investors, holding limited partnership interests equal to the entire
$20,000,000 offering of such partnership, were admitted as limited partners in
the Series C partnership. As of June 5, 1992 (the final date for admission of
its limited partners), Series D had held nineteen closings beginning September
13, 1991 and ending on June 5, 1992, following which a total of 3,054 investors,
holding limited partnership interests equal to the entire $40,000,000 offering
of such partnership, were admitted as limited partners in the Series D
partnership. As of August 6, 1993, Series E had held 27 closings beginning July
6, 1992 and including August 6, 1993, following which a total of 3,738 investors
which had subscribed for units in such partnership through July 31, 1993 (the
termination date of Series E's offering period) and which held limited
partnership interests equal to $61,041,150 out of the original $80,000,000
offering which was registered had been admitted as Limited Partners to the
Series E partnership. As of November 8, 1995, L.P. Six had held 41 closings
beginning March 31, 1994 and including November 8, 1995, following which a total
of 2,272 Limited Partners (exclusive of the Initial Limited Partner) with total
subscriptions for 383,857.12 Units ($38,385,712) out of the original
$120,000,000 offering which was registered had been admitted to the Partnership.
See Exhibit B--TABLE I. "EXPERIENCE IN RAISING AND INVESTING FUNDS."
The Prior Public Programs are all actively engaged in the ownership and
operation of Leases and Financing Transactions. As of March 31, 1996, the Prior
Public Programs had originated or acquired investments (stated in terms of their
respective original acquisition costs) as follows: Series A had acquired a total
of $6,033,973 of leased equipment (by original cost), $1,527,488 of financing
transactions (by original cost) and total investments of $7,561,461 (by original
cost). Series B had acquired a total of $61,423,473 leased equipment, $3,703,510
of financing transactions and total investments of $65,126,983; Series C had
acquired a total of $71,832,630 of leased equipment, $2,875,838 of financing
transactions and total investments of $68,956,792; Series D had acquired a total
of $102,627,122 of leased equipment, $7,860,332 of financing transactions and
total investments of $110,487,454; Series E had acquired a total of $197,736,209
of leased equipment, $13,959,456 of financing transactions and total investments
of $183,776,753; and L.P. Six had acquired a total of $110,929,234 of leased
equipment, $8,640,184 of financing transactions and total investments of
$119,569,418.
As of March 31, 1996, Series A had equipment under management (by original
cost of investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold)
consisting of $577,131 of leases and $702,404 of financing transactions which
represents 45% and 55% of the original cost of investments acquired,
respectively. Series B had equipment under management (by original cost of
investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold) consisting of
$5,497,632 of leases and $356,290 of financing transactions which represents 94%
and 6% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively, Series C had
equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of $13,038,692 of
leases and $1,793,644 of financing transactions which represents 88% and 12% of
the original cost of investments acquired, respectively, Series D had equipment
under management (determined as above) consisting of $56,255,140 of leases and
$4,430,439 of financing transactions which represents 93% and 7% of the original
cost of investments acquired, respectively, Series E had equipment under
management (determined as above) consisting of $120,343,154 of leases and
$11,359,773 of financing transactions which represents 91% and 9% of the
original cost of investments acquired, respectively and L.P. Six had equipment
under management (determined as above) consisting of $107,512,155 of leases and
$9,702,698 of financing transactions which represents 92% and 8% of the original
cost of investments acquired, respectively.
The percentages and amounts of cash distributions which represented investment
income (after deductions for depreciation and amortization of initial direct
costs of its investments) and a return of capital (corresponding to a portion of
the depreciation deductions for the related equipment) for Series A through L.P.
Six for each year from their respective dates of formation through March 31,
1996 are included in TABLE III of Exhibit B hereto ("Operating Results of Prior
Public Programs"). Certain additional investment information concerning such
Programs as of March 31, 1996 is also included in Tables I, II and V of Exhibit
B and in Table VI to the Registration Statement, as amended, of which this
Prospectus is a part.
Three of the Prior Public Programs, Series A, Series B and Series C
experienced unexpected losses in 1991-1992 as shown on TABLE III. Series A
experienced losses of $133,569 in 1992 primarily related to the bankruptcy of
Richmond Gordman Stores, Inc. Series B established a provision for bad debts in
1991 of $1,260,999 primarily relating to defaults by guarantors under asset
purchase contracts and, in addition, wrote down its investment in equipment
leases related to Financial News Network, Inc. and Data Broadcasting Services,
Inc. by $148,983 as a result of reported lessee fraud by those companies and
their eventual bankruptcy. In 1992, Series B wrote down its residual positions
by $506,690, $138,218 of which was related to the bankruptcy of Richmond Gordman
Stores, Inc. and $368,472 of which was related to rapid obsolescence of
equipment due to unexpected withdrawal of software support by the manufacturer.
Series C wrote-down its residual position in 1992 by $1,412,365 relating to the
bankruptcy of PharMor, Inc. which involved the reported misappropriation of
funds by the management of such company and the overstatement of inventory on
its audited financial statements. The Sponsor has taken certain steps which it
believes will permit Series A, Series B and Series C to recover such losses,
including the following: (1) foregone Administrative Expense reimbursements for
the period July 1, 1991 through September 30, 1993, to which it was otherwise
entitled in the amount of $34,961 (Series A), $697,463 (Series B) and $859,961
(Series C); (2) reduced the annual cash distribution rate to 9% effective
September 1, 1993 for Series A, B and C to make available additional funds for
supplemental reinvestments for each of such Programs; (3) deferred the Sponsor's
receipt of management fees effective September 1, 1993 (which deferrals for the
period September 1, 1993 through June 30, 1995 amount to $28,812 (Series A),
$315,408 (Series B) and $428,503 (Series C)); (4) effective January 1, 1994
reduced the management fees which Series A, Series B and Series C each pays to
the Sponsor to a flat rate of 2% and effective January 1, 1995 further reduced
the management fees which Series A pays to the Sponsor to a flat rate of 1%,
which fee reductions have resulted in decreases in expenses to such Programs for
the period January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995 of $17,198 (Series A), $262,310
(Series B) and $325,766 (Series C); (5) effective January 31, 1994, converted
the variable rate borrowing facilities of Series A, B and C to fixed rate, term
loan financings in the original principal amounts of $720,000, $1,600,000 and
$1,500,000, respectively, to eliminate interest rate risk on the related
portions of such Programs' portfolios; (6) effective January 31, 1995, amended
the partnership agreement of Series A, by vote of a majority of its limited
partners to (a) extend the reinvestment period of Series A by not less than 2
nor more than 4 years, (b) authorize loans by the Sponsor to Series A under
certain conditions for a term in excess of twelve months and up to $250,000, and
(c) (as noted in clause (4), above) decrease the rate of management fees payable
by Series A to the Sponsor to a flat 1% of gross revenues from all of its leases
and financing transactions (pursuant to the amendments, the Sponsor, in February
and March 1995, lent $75,000 and $100,000, respectively, to Series A); and (7)
effective November 15, 1995, amended the Partnership Agreement of Series B, by
vote of a majority of its Limited Partners to (a) extend the reinvestment period
of Series B for up to four additional years and thereby delay the start and end
of the liquidation period, and (b) eliminate the obligation of Series B to pay
the General Partner $391,000 of the $518,000 of past and anticipated Management
Fees, and (c) limit past Management Fees payable by Series B to $127,000 and
require the General Partner to immediately pay such amount to Series B as an
additional capital contribution. The Sponsor subsequently elected to write off
such loans as of March 31, 1995 (see Note (4) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Sponsor appearing on Page 119 of this Prospectus). There can
be no assurance that the forgoing steps will be successful in recovering the
full amount of the losses of Series A, Series B and Series C which are described
in this paragraph. To the extent such efforts are not successful and, as a
result, Series A, Series B or Series C do not earn sufficient amounts through
their respective remaining periods of operations to recoup such losses, any of
such Programs so effected would not be able to return all of its respective
investors' capital.
The General Partner hereby agrees that it will provide the most recent Form
10-K for any of the Prior Public Programs, upon written request (with no fee but
with reimbursement of its actual out of pocket costs and expenses of copying and
mailing such Form 10-K) and provide copies of the exhibits to such Form 10-K for
a reasonable fee and with reimbursement of its actual out of pocket costs and
expenses of copying and mailing such exhibits to such Form 10-K."

a consequence of a merger with International Consolidated Group, Inc., which was
formed in 1982 to manage the equity sales for investor programs sponsored by its
Affiliates. The Dealer-Manager is registered with the Securities and Exchange

amended by deleting the last paragraph of such section and replacing it with the
following:
"As of the date of the opinion of Tax Counsel, no Equipment had been acquired
by the Partnership. Therefore, it was impossible at that time to opine on the
application of the tax law to the specific facts which would exist when a
particular item of Equipment was acquired and placed under lease. The issues on
which Tax Counsel declined to express an opinion, and the likely adverse federal
income tax consequences resulting from an unfavorable resolution of any of those
issues, are set forth below in the following subsections of this Section: "--
Allocations of Profits and Losses," "-- Tax Treatment of the Leases," "-- Cost
Recovery," and "-- Limitations on Cost Recovery Deductions.""
Page 60-61, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Classification as a Partnership"
section, is amended by deleting the entire section and replacing it with the
following:
"The Partnership has not applied, and does not intend to apply, for a ruling
from the Service that it will be classified as a partnership and will not be
treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes.
The Partnership has received an opinion of Tax Counsel that, under current
federal income tax laws, case law and administrative regulations and published
rulings, the Partnership will be classified as a partnership and not as an
association taxable as a corporation. Unlike a tax ruling, however, an opinion
of Tax Counsel has no binding effect on the Service or official status of any
kind, and no assurance can be given that the conclusions reached in the opinion
would be sustained by a court if contested by the Service. In the absence of a
tax ruling, there can be no assurance that the Service will not attempt to treat
the Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation.
The opinion of Tax Counsel was based, in part, on representations of the
General Partner to the effect that: (1) the Partnership had been organized and
would be operated in substantial compliance with applicable state statutes
concerning limited partnerships, (2) the General Partner had and would maintain
throughout the life of the Partnership a net worth (not including its interests
in the Partnership or in other partnerships in which it is a general partner) at
all times equal to at least $1,000,000, (3) the Partnership's activities would
be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement; (4)
the interest of the General Partner in each material item of Partnership income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit would be equal to at least one percent of each
such item, except for temporary allocations, if any, required under Section
704(b) or (c) of the Code; and (5) neither the General Partner nor any person or
group of persons who has a direct or indirect interest in the General Partner
(by reason of direct or indirect stock ownership, a creditor-debtor relationship
or an employer-employee relationship, or otherwise) would at any time own,
individually or in the aggregate, more than one percent of the Units in the
Partnership.
For purposes of issuing advance rulings as to the tax status of a limited
partnership that has a corporation as its sole general partner, the Service has
set forth certain guidelines, including a net worth requirement for the general
partner. The General Partner did not at the time of the opinion of Tax Counsel
and currently does not satisfy the Service's net worth requirement for an
advance ruling. Accordingly, the Partnership would be unable to obtain an
advance ruling that it will be classified as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. The Partnership's inability to satisfy the Service's advance
ruling guidelines did not affect Tax Counsel's opinion as to the classification
of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
On May 10, 1996, the Service issued proposed regulations which would provide a
simplified elective regime for classifying certain business organizations as
partnerships or as associations taxable as a corporation. Under these simplified
rules, an entity such as the Partnership will be deemed to constitute a
partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it files an election to be
treated otherwise. Although these regulations are proposed to be effective only
for periods beginning on or after the date that final regulations are published,
they contain a transitional rule which provides that an existing entity's
claimed classification under the current rules will be respected for all periods
prior to this effective date if (i) the entity had a reasonable basis for its
claimed classification, (ii) the entity claimed the same classification for all
prior periods, and (iii) neither the entity nor any member was notified in
writing on or before May 8, 1996 that the entity's classification is under
examination. The Partnership believes that it has a reasonable basis for its
claimed partnership classification for federal income tax purposes, and has
consistently claimed the same classification for all periods of its existence.
Further, the Partnership has not been notified that such classification is under
examination, and is not aware of any of the Partners having received such
notice. Accordingly, it appears that this transitional rule, if ultimately
adopted in final regulation form, will apply to the Partnership.
If the Partnership is or at any time hereafter becomes taxable as a
corporation, it would be subject to federal income tax at the tax rates and
under the rules applicable to corporations generally. The major consequences of
being treated as a corporation would be that Partnership losses would not be
passed through to the Partners, and Partnership income could be subject to
double tax. Corporations are required to pay federal income taxes on their
taxable income and corporate distributions are taxable to investors at ordinary
income tax rates to the extent of the corporation's earnings and profits and are
not deductible by the corporation in computing its taxable income. If the
Partnership at any time is taxable as a corporation, and particularly should
that occur retroactively, the effects of corporate taxation could have a
substantial adverse effect on the after-tax investment return of investors.
Furthermore, a change in the tax status of the Partnership from a partnership to
an association taxable as a corporation would be treated by the Service as
involving an exchange. Such an exchange may give rise to tax liabilities for the
Limited Partners under certain circumstances (e.g., if the Partnership's debt
exceeds the tax basis of the Partnership's assets at the time of such exchange)
even though they might not receive cash distributions from the Partnership to
cover such tax liabilities."
Page 61-62, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Publicly Traded Partnerships"
section, is amended by deleting the entire section and replacing it with the
following:
"Certain limited partnerships may be classified as publicly traded
partnerships ("PTPs"). If a partnership is classified as a PTP (either at
inception or as a result of subsequent events) and derives less than 90% of its
gross income from qualified sources (such as interest and dividends, rents from
real property and gains from the sale of real property) it will be taxed as a
corporation. A PTP is defined as any partnership in which interests are traded
on an established securities market or are readily tradeable on a secondary
market or the substantial equivalent of such market. Units in the Partnership
are not currently traded on an established securities market (and the General
Partner does not intend to list the Units on any such market). Units are also
not readily tradeable on a secondary market nor are they expected to be in the
future. Therefore, the Partnership will be a PTP only if the Units become
"readily tradeable on the substantial equivalent of a secondary market."
Limited partnership interests may be "readily tradeable" if they are regularly
quoted by persons who are making a market in the interests or if prospective
buyers and sellers of the interests have a readily available, regular and
ongoing opportunity to buy, sell or exchange interests in a market that is
publicly available, in a time frame which would be provided by a market maker,
and in a manner which is comparable, economically, to trading on an established
securities market. Limited partnership interests are not "readily tradeable"
merely because a general partner provides information to partners regarding
partners' desires to buy or sell interests to each other or if it arranges
occasional transfers between partners.
The Service has provided certain safe harbor tests relating to PTP status in
Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-75. If the trading of interests in a
partnership falls into one of the safe harbor tests, then interests in the
partnership will not be considered to be traded on a substantial equivalent of a
secondary market and the partnership will not be treated as a PTP. Safe harbor
tests include the "5% safe harbor" test and the "2% safe harbor" test. A
partnership satisfies the "5% safe harbor" test if the partnership interests
that are sold or otherwise disposed of during the taxable year do not exceed 5%
of the total interests in partnership capital or profits. Certain transfers
("Excluded Transfers") are disregarded for the purpose of determining whether
interests in a partnership are to be considered readily tradeable on a secondary
market or the substantial equivalent thereof and are therefore excluded from the
"5% safe harbor" test, including transfers at death, transfers between certain
family members and block transfers (i.e., transfers by a single partner within a
30-day period of interests representing in the aggregate more than 5% of the
total interests in partnership capital or profits). In the case of the "2% safe
harbor" test, annual transfers of interests may not exceed 2% of the total
partnership capital or profits. In addition to Excluded Transfers, for the "2%
safe harbor" test, transfers pursuant to a "matching service" are not counted.
"Matching service" transfers include (1) a notice to potential buyers of the
availability of partnership interests if the sale of such interest is delayed at
least 15 days after the date the matching service is advised of such
availability (the "contact date"); (2) closing of a sale does not occur prior to
45 days after the contact date; (3) information relating to interests for sale
is removed from the matching service within 120 days after the contact date; (4)
once removed, an investor's interest is not re-entered into the matching service
for at least 60 days; and (5) the total partnership interests sold or disposed
of (other than Excluded Transfers) during the taxable year do not exceed 10% of
the total interests in partnership capital and profits. A failure to satisfy one
of the specified safe harbor tests does not give rise to a presumption that
interests are readily tradeable on a secondary market or the substantial
equivalent thereof.
On November 29, 1995, the Service issued final regulations relating to the
definition of a PTP which would (1) modify the safe harbor tests relating to PTP
status which are contained in Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-75 and (2)
provide other guidance on the circumstances under which interests in a
partnership will be treated as publicly traded. Although these regulations are
generally effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995, this
effective date is postponed for partnerships, such as the Partnership, that were
actively engaged in an activity before December 4, 1995 to the partnership's
first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2005 (or, if earlier, the
partnership's first taxable year beginning on or after it adds a substantial new
line of business after December 4, 1995). Partnerships that qualify for this
postponed effective date may continue to rely on the provisions of Notice 88-75
for taxable years prior to the effective date of the final regulations.
In lieu of the 5% and 2% safe harbors contained in Notice 88-75, the final
regulations provide a more limited de minimis trading exclusion. The final
regulations provide that interests in a partnership are not readily tradable on
a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if the sum of the
percentage interests in partnership capital or profits transferred during the
taxable year of the partnership does not exceed 2 percent of the total interests
in partnership capital or profits. Like notice 88-75, the final regulations
provide a list of excluded transfers that are disregarded in determining whether
interests in a partnership are readily tradeable on a secondary market or the
substantial equivalent thereof and, thus, for the purpose of applying this 2%
safe harbor. In addition, the final regulations contain a qualified matching
service exclusion that is similar to the matching service exclusion set forth in
Notice 88-75 but contain certain modifications designed to prevent a qualified
matching service from operating as the substantial equivalent of a secondary
market.
In the opinion of Tax Counsel, the Partnership will not be treated as a PTP.
For the purpose of this opinion, Tax Counsel has received a representation from
the General Partner that the Units will not be listed on a securities exchange
or NASDAQ and that, acting in accordance with Section 10.2(c) of the Partnership
Agreement, the General Partner will refuse to permit any assignment of Units
which violates the "safe harbor" tests described above. See "TRANSFER OF
UNITS--Restrictions on the Transfer of Units."
If the Partnership were classified as a PTP it would be treated for federal
income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation unless 90% or
more of its income were to come from the "qualified sources" discussed above.
The business of the Partnership will be the leasing and financing of personal
(not real) property. Thus, its income would not be from such qualified sources.
The major consequences of being treated as a corporation would be that
Partnership losses would not be passed through to the Partners, and Partnership
income could be subject to double tax. Corporations are required to pay federal
income taxes on their taxable income and corporate distributions are taxable to
investors at ordinary income tax rates to the extent of the corporation's
earnings and profits and are not deductible by the corporation in computing its
taxable income. If the Partnership at any time is taxable as a corporation, and
particularly should that occur retroactively, the effects of corporate taxation
could have a substantial adverse effect on the after-tax investment return of
investors. Furthermore, a change in the tax status of the Partnership from a
partnership to an association taxable as a corporation would be treated by the
Service as involving an exchange. Such an exchange may give rise to tax
liabilities for the Limited Partners under certain circumstances (e.g., if the
Partnership's debt exceeds the tax basis of the Partnership's assets at the time
of such exchange) even though they might not receive cash distributions from the
Partnership to cover such tax liabilities. See "-- Classification as a
Partnership" and "-- Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Interest" in this
Section."
Page 64, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Allocations of Profits and Losses"
section, is amended by deleting the eighth paragraph in its entirety and
replacing it with the following:
"The tax benefits of investment in the Partnership are largely dependent on
the Service's acceptance of the allocations provided under the Partnership
Agreement. The allocations in the Partnership Agreement are designed to have
"substantial economic effect." However, because the substantiality of an
allocation having economic effect depends in part on the interaction of such
allocation with the taxable income and losses of the Partners derived from other
sources, Tax Counsel could render no opinion on whether the allocations of
Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or items thereof) under the
Partnership Agreement will be recognized, and no assurance can be given that the
Service will not challenge those allocations on the ground that they lack
"substantial economic effect." If, upon audit, the Service took the position
that any of those allocations should not be recognized and that position was
sustained by the courts, the Limited Partners could be taxed upon a portion of
the income allocated to the General Partner and all or part of the deductions
allocated to the Limited Partners could be disallowed."
Page 65, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Deductibility of Losses: Passive
Losses, Tax Basis and "At Risk" Limitation--Tax Basis section, is amended by
deleting the first paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:
"A Limited Partner's initial tax basis in his Partnership interest will be his
capital contribution to the Partnership (i.e., the price he paid for his Units)
plus his share of Partnership indebtedness as to which no Partner is personally
liable. His tax basis will then be increased (or decreased) by his share of
income (or loss) and by his share of any increase (or decrease) of Partnership
indebtedness as to which no Partner is personally liable, and reduced by the
amount of any cash distributions. A Limited Partner may only deduct his
allocable share of Partnership losses, if any, to the extent of his basis in his
Partnership interest."
Page 68, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Deferred Payment Losses" section, is
amended by deleting the second paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with
the following:
"On June 3, 1996, the Service issued proposed regulations under Section 467
prescribing the manner in which these rules are to be applied, and extending
similar principles to situations involving prepaid rentals and other situations
where the amount paid under a lease agreement for the use of property decreases
during the term of the agreement. These regulations are generally proposed to be
effective for rental agreements entered into after the date such regulations are
published as final regulations in the Federal Register. With respect to
disqualified leasebacks and certain long-term agreements, however, the
regulations are currently proposed to be effective for rental agreements entered
into after June 3, 1996."
The Partnership may enter into transactions which will subject it to these
provisions. The application of such provisions could result in a mismatching of
income recognition by the Partnership and corresponding cash flow."
Page 68, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Sale or Other Disposition of
Partnership Property" section, is amended by deleting the first and second
paragraphs and replacing them with the following:
"An individual's net long-term capital gains are taxed at 28% under current
law while the maximum tax rate for ordinary income is 39.6%. For corporations,
the highest maximum tax rate for both capital gains and ordinary income is 35%."
Because of the different individual tax rates for net long-term capital gains
and ordinary income, the Internal Revenue Code provides various rules concerning
the characterization of income as ordinary or capital and for distinguishing
between long-term and short-term gains and losses. The distinction between
ordinary income and capital gains continues to be relevant for other purposes as
well. For example, the amount of capital losses which an individual may offset
against ordinary income is limited to $3,000 ($1,500 in the case of a married
individual filing separately).
Page 72, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Alternative Minimum Tax" section, is
amended by deleting the third paragraph of such section and replacing it with
the following:
"The principal "tax preference" items which must be added to taxable income
for AMT purposes include the following: (1) the excess of depletion over the
adjusted basis of the property at the end of the year, (2) the excess of
intangible drilling costs over 65% of net oil and gas income, (3) the excess of
the reserve for bad debt deductions over the deduction that would have been
allowable based on actual experience and (4) private activity bond interest."
Page 72-73, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Maximum Individual Tax Rates"
section, is amended by deleting the paragraph in its entirety and replacing it
with the following:
"The federal income tax on individuals applies at a 15%, 28%, 31% and 36%
rate. In addition, the Code imposes a 10% surtax on taxable income in excess of
$250,000 ($125,000 for married individuals filing separately), which raises the
tax rate for taxpayers in this bracket to 39.6%. The personal exemption, which
is $2,500 for 1996, is reduced by 2% for each $2,500 by which an individual's
adjusted gross income exceeds $150,000 for joint returns, $125,000 for heads of
household, $100,000 for single taxpayers, and $75,000 for married persons filing
separately. An individual is required to reduce the amount of certain of his
otherwise allowable itemized deductions by 3% of the excess of his adjusted
gross income over $100,000 or $50,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing
separately. The dollar figures set forth in this paragraph are subject to
appropriate adjustment to reflect post-1991 inflation."
Page 78, "CAPITALIZATION" section, is amended by the following:
1. By deleting the first paragraph and the table below it and replacing
it with the following:
"The capitalization of the Partnership as of the date of this Prospectus and
as adjusted to reflect the sale of the Minimum and Maximum Offering of Units is

2. By deleting Footnote 2 in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:
"(2) On January 19, 1996 (the "Initial Closing Date"), the Original
Limited Partner withdrew from the Partnership and received a return
of his original Capital Contribution. The Partnership began
operations as of January 19, 1996 with initial capitalization of
$2,280,828 (after payment of Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees
and O & O Expense Allowance totalling $355,967--or 13.5% of Gross
Offering Proceeds)."
Page 79, "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--Liquidity and Capital
Resources" section, is amended by deleting the entire section and replacing it
with the following:
"As discussed above in footnote (2) under "CAPITALIZATION," the Partnership
began its operations upon the Initial Closing Date of January 19, 1996 with
limited funds. As of June 15, 1996, $729,420 of net offering proceeds (after
payment of Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense Allowance
totalling $113,840--or 13.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds) had become available to
the Partnership from Closings held through June 15, 1996, and consequently, only
a portion of the capital anticipated to be raised by the Partnership through the
public offering of Units is available on the date of this Prospectus. The
Partnership plans to raise funds from investors by means of this Offering, and
then to use approximately 75% of Gross Offering Proceeds (inclusive of 1% of
such proceeds to established as a Reserve) together with indebtedness in at
least an equal amount to invest in Equipment and Financing Transactions. That
is, the Partnership's total Purchase Price (exclusive of Acquisition Fees) of
Equipment and Financing Transactions is expected to average approximately 150.0%
of Gross Offering Proceeds (although as much as 415.0% of Gross Offering
Proceeds could be invested using the maximum permitted leverage of 80%). (See
"SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS").
Pending investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions, the Net Offering
Proceeds of this Offering will be held in short-term, liquid investments. The
Partnership intends to establish a working capital reserve (the "Reserve") of
approximately 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, which amount the General
Partner believes should be sufficient to satisfy the Partnership's general
liquidity requirements. However, liquidity could be adversely affected by
unanticipated operating costs or losses. To the extent that the Reserve is
insufficient to satisfy future cash requirements of the Partnership, the General
Partner expects that additional funds would be obtained from bank loans,
short-term loans from the General Partner, and Cash from Sales of Equipment and
Financing Transactions.
Following completion of the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units, the proceeds of
Units sold to Limited Partners admitted at the Initial Closing were released to
the Partnership from the Escrow Account (and at subsequent Closings, from the
Partnership's subscription account), and applied to the payment or reimbursement
of Underwriting Fees, Sales Commissions and the O & O Expense Allowance, leaving
estimated Net Offering Proceeds available for investment in Equipment and
Financing Transactions, payment of Acquisition Fees of approximately 86.5% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds (unless Commission Loans equal to 8.0% of Gross
Offering Proceeds are obtained at such Closing(s), in which case Net Offering
Proceeds and Commission Loan proceeds totaling approximately 94.5% of Gross
Offering Proceeds would be available for such purposes). The Partnership's funds
available for Investments and to meet its capital needs are expected to undergo
major fluctuations during the initial period of operations of up to twenty-four
(24) months while this Offering is proceeding and during the period (expected to
be completed no later than six (6) months thereafter) during which the
Partnership's funds are being invested in Equipment and Financing Transactions.
During the balance of its operating period, except for infusions of Cash From
Operations and Cash From Sales and reinvestment of such funds in additional
Equipment and Financing Transactions, the capital needs and resources of the
Partnership are expected to be relatively stable. For information concerning the
anticipated use of proceeds from the sale of Units, see "SOURCES AND USES OF
OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" and "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES.""
Page 79, "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--Operations" section,
is amended by deleting the first paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with
the following:
"The Partnership was formed in May 1995 and commenced operations on January
19, 1996. During this period commencing with the Initial Closing Date and
continuing throughout the Reinvestment Period, the Partnership has been and will
be in active operation. The operations of the Partnership will consist primarily
of the ownership and leasing of the Equipment and to a lesser degree, making and
managing the Financing Transactions. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.""
Page 81, "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT--Capital Contributions" section,
is amended by deleting the second paragraph in its entirety and replacing it
with the following:
"Original Limited Partner. The Original Limited Partner had made a capital
contribution of $1,000 to the Partnership in exchange for ten (10) Units then
representing a 99% Partnership Interest. On the Initial Closing Date, the
Original Limited Partner withdraw from the Partnership, his capital contribution
of $1,000 was returned to him in full and his original Partnership Interest of
ten (10) Units was retired upon the admission of additional Limited Partners."
Page 92-93, "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION--Segregation of Subscription Payments"
section, is amended by deleting the entire section in its entirety and replacing
it with the following:
"As soon as possible after the receipt and acceptance by the Partnership of
subscriptions pending each Closing, the Partnership will admit as Limited
Partners all subscribers whose subscriptions have been received and accepted by
the Partnership and the funds representing such subscriptions will be released
from the Partnership's segregated subscription account to the Partnership.
Thereafter, funds received through the Termination Date will be deposited in the
Partnership's segregated subscription account.
The General Partner will promptly accept or reject subscriptions for Units
after its receipt of a prospective investor's Subscription Documents and
subscription funds. Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, it is anticipated
that Closings will be held not less frequently than twice monthly (on the
fifteenth and last day of each month) and as frequently as once a week (provided
the number of Units subscribed for is sufficient to justify the burden and
expense of a Closing). Thereafter subscription payments would continue to be
deposited with the Bank of New York (NJ) (or another banking institution named
by the General Partner) in a special, segregated, subscription account of the
Partnership which will be maintained during the Offering Period for the receipt
and investment of subscription payments. At each Closing, the Partnership will
admit as Limited Partners, effective as of the next day, all subscribers whose
subscriptions have been received and accepted by the Partnership and who are
then eligible to be admitted to the Partnership and the funds representing such
subscriptions will be released from the Partnership's segregated subscription
account to the Partnership.
Interest earned, if any, on subscription funds of subscribers who are accepted
and admitted to the Partnership will be remitted to the subscribers by the
General Partner as soon as practicable after their admission, and shall be
calculated to reflect the length of time each subscribers funds were held in the
Partnership's segregated subscription account, prior to their admission."

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
A Delaware Limited Partnership
$1,200,000
12,000 Units Minimum Offering
$100.00 Per Unit/Minimum Investment 25 Units ($2,500)
(10 Units ($1,000) for IRAs and Qualified Plans)
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (the "Partnership") is an equipment
leasing limited partnership. This prospectus describes an investment by
investors ("Limited Partners") in limited partnership securities (or "Units") of
the Partnership. The Partnership may sell as few as 12,000 or as many as
1,000,000 of Units.
An investment in Units of the Partnership involves certain risks (see "RISK
FACTORS" at Page 16), including:
* Limited Partners must rely on the skills, integrity and business expertise
of the General Partner.
* Certain of the Prior Public Programs experienced losses in excess of
reserves therefor in 1991-92, due primarily to lessee bankruptcies, which
losses may effect, possibly materially, the financial results of such
earlier programs.
* The ownership and leasing of equipment and provision of financing may be
adversely affected by various economic and business factors, including
lessee bankruptcies, which are beyond the control of the General Partner.
* As of the date of this Prospectus, the Partnership did not own any
Investments. As a result, the profitability of an investment in Units
cannot be estimated. All Investment decisions will be made solely by the
General Partner.
* The General Partner and its affiliates will receive substantial fees, only
a portion of which is contingent on amounts paid to Limited Partners.
* The cash, if any, which the Partnership receives from future sale of its
Equipment will be reduced by obsolescence.
* No public market for Units exists. As a result, Limited Partners may be
able to resell their Units, if at all, only at a discount and should,
therefore, be prepared to hold their Units for the entire life of the
Partnership.
* A substantial portion of the distributions made to date by the Prior
Public Programs have been, and a substantial portion of the distributions
to be made by the Partnership is expected to be, a return of capital
(i.e., the money you originally invested).
* Each Limited Partner's share of taxable income in the early years of the
Partnership is likely to exceed, and in the later years of the Partnership
to be less than, investment income (as reported to investors for financial
reporting purposes).
* The General Partner manages similar existing partnerships and this may
give rise to potential conflicts of interest, including a conflict for
management services and available investments.
* All subscription payments will be held in escrow until the Minimum
Offering (or, for Pennsylvania subscribers, until 5% of the Maximum
Offering) is sold. During such period (which may not exceed 12 months from
the date hereof)(1), each investor will be unable to use such funds
(although interest will accrue thereon during, and be paid to such
subscribers at the end of, such period).
* A significant portion, not exceeding 50%, of the Partnership's Investments
may consist of Financing Transactions.
The Partnership intends to use the funds invested by the Limited Partners,
together with Partnership borrowings, to buy and lease a wide range of equipment
primarily to businesses located in the United States which the General Partner
determines are Creditworthy and that are diversified as to industry types and
geographic location. The Partnership will also provide financing primarily to
such companies secured by equipment used in their businesses and additional or
other collateral owned by them. ICON Capital Corp. (the "General Partner")
estimates that not less than 74.0% of the gross amount of funds invested by
Limited Partners (the "Gross Offering Proceeds") will be used to make
investments in such equipment and financings (assuming the maximum possible
leverage of 80%). 1.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds will be used to establish a
working capital reserve and the balance (of up to 25.0% of Gross Offering
Proceeds) will be used to pay the costs of organizing the Partnership program,
offering Units to the public and acquiring the Partnership's assets. See
"SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS."
The Partnership plans to (a) make regular monthly distributions, primarily
to the Limited Partners and to a much lesser extent to the General Partner, of
cash generated by its operations beginning the month following a Limited
Partner's admission to the Partnership commencing the month after admission of
each Limited Partner and (b) reinvest undistributed cash flow and sale proceeds
during the Reinvestment Period in additional equipment and financing
transactions. Thereafter, the Partnership intends to (a) sell or otherwise
dispose of all its assets in an orderly manner and (b) distribute the cash
proceeds to the Limited Partners, and to a much lesser extent to the General
Partner, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Prospectus. See
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES." The Partnership has been formed for
income-oriented investment purposes and not as a tax shelter. The majority of
its income is expected to be passive activity income.

<PAGE>
Footnotes from Cover Page. All capitalized terms used in these footnotes and in
the balance of this Prospectus are defined in the Glossary that appears in
Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement attached hereto as (Exhibit A).
(1) All subscription payments will be deposited and held in an interest-bearing
escrow account until the Minimum Offering (or $1,200,000 in subscriptions) have
been received (except in the case of subscriptions from Pennsylvania residents).
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania imposes the further conditions that (1) each
subscription from a Pennsylvania resident must be held in escrow until
$5,000,000 in subscriptions (5% of the Maximum Offering of $100,000,000) have
been received from all investors (including Pennsylvania residents) and (2) each
Pennsylvania subscriber must be offered the opportunity to rescind his or her
subscription if such condition has not been met, initially 120 days following
the date his or her subscription is received by the Escrow Agent and every 120
days thereafter during the effective period of the offering in Pennsylvania. The
Escrow Agreement terminates on the anniversary of the Effective Date. If at the
end of such 12 month period, the Minimum Offering has not been achieved (or, in
the case, of Pennsylvania subscribers, $5,000,000 of Units have not been sold),
subscription payments then held in escrow will be returned by the Escrow Agent
to the applicable subscribers together with interest earned thereon while held
in escrow.
(2) The Gross Unit Price is $100.00, except that:
(a) officers, employees and securities representatives of the General
Partner, its Affiliates and Selling Dealers ("Affiliated Limited Partners")
may purchase Units for investment purposes only for the Net Unit Price of
$92.00 per Unit. The Partnership will incur no obligation to pay any Sales
Commissions with respect to such purchases. The General Partner's and its
Affiliates' purchases of Units are limited to a maximum of 10% of the total
Units purchased.
(b) Investors buying in volume are entitled to Volume Discounts as follows:
Number of Units Discount Net Purchase Price
2,499 or less None $100.00
2,500 to 4,999 $2.50 $ 97.50
5,000 to 9,999 $3.50 $ 96.50
10,000 to 19,999 $4.50 $ 95.50
20,000 or more $6.50 $ 93.50
Volume Discounts reduce the Sales Commissions that would otherwise be
payable in connection with the purchase of Units. An investor entitled
to a Volume Discount will receive such discount through a reduction of
the aggregate cash purchase price required to purchase Units.
The proceeds to the Partnership, net of Sales Commissions and Volume
Discounts, if any, will be the same for all such sales as for sales to the
general public.
(3) The Partnership will pay to a Selling Dealer or to the Dealer-Manager (which
is an Affiliate of the General Partner) a Sales Commission of $8.00 (8% of the
Gross Unit Price) for each Unit sold by their respective registered
representatives (except as noted in footnote 1). In addition, the Partnership
will pay the Dealer-Manager Underwriting Fees of $2.00 (2.0% of Gross Offering
Proceeds) for each Unit sold for its services in managing the Offering and to
reimburse it, on a non-accountable basis, for the wholesaling fees and expenses
of the Sponsor. The Partnership may obtain a loan as of each Closing Date in the
principal amount of the Sales Commissions (collectively "Commission Loans") to
pay Commissions otherwise payable by the Partnership on such Closing Date from
Gross Offering Proceeds for the purpose of increasing the amount of Gross
Offering Proceeds immediately available for Investments. The Partnership's total
payments of principal of, and interest on, any such Commission Loans would
exceed the corresponding amounts of Commissions paid with the proceeds of such
loans by the amount of interest paid thereon. Consequently, the General Partner
expects to utilize Commission Loans only when, it has determined that an
opportunity exists to use such borrowings to obtain Investments which have
contractual payments at least equal to the total payments of principal of, and
interest on, the corresponding Commission Loans. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
(4) Proceeds to the Partnership are calculated before deduction of:
(a) the O & O Expense Allowance in an amount equal to 3.5% of Gross Offering
Proceeds. The O & O Expense Allowance is payable to the General Partner
and/or the Dealer-Manager on a non-accountable basis for expenses of
organizing the Partnership, registering it with federal and state securities
authorities and printing the Prospectus and related legal and accounting
costs and other costs of organizing the Partnership and offering Units to
the public. The O & O Expense Allowance may be less or greater than the
General Partner's actual expenses. The General Partner is responsible to pay
Organizational and Offering Expenses which exceed such Allowance; and
(b) Acquisition Fees in an amount equal to 3.0% (subject to certain
conditions and limitations specified in the Partnership Agreement of the sum
of (i) the aggregate Purchase Price paid (including indebtedness incurred)
by the Partnership for all items of Equipment acquired by the Partnership
and (ii) the principal amount of all financing provided by the Partnership
to Users is payable to the General Partner for its services and expenses of
finding, evaluating, documenting and acquiring the Partnership's
Investments. See "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION."
<PAGE>
(5) The amounts shown exclude ten Units ($1,000) in the Partnership that were
purchased by the Original Limited Partner in connection with the organization of
the Partnership and which will be refunded to the Original Limited Partner, and
his Units will be retired, upon the Initial Closing Date. Such amounts also
exclude the excess, if any, of (a) total Units which the General Partner and its
Affiliates are entitled to purchase for their own investment account (a maximum
of 10% of all non-affiliate Unit purchases) over (b) 600 Units ($60,000), the
maximum amount of Unit purchases by the Sponsor which may be counted in
determining whether the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units has been completed.
Accordingly, of the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units, only 11,400 Units would
need to be purchased by the general public to satisfy such condition if the
General Partner and its Affiliates purchased 600 Units of such total (as they
are permitted to do).
NOTICE TO PENNSYLVANIA INVESTORS: BECAUSE THE MINIMUM CLOSING AMOUNT IS LESS
THAN $24,000,000 (A MAXIMUM TO MINIMUM OFFERING RATIO OF 20:1) YOU ARE CAUTIONED
TO CAREFULLY EVALUATE THE PROGRAM'S ABILITY TO FULLY ACCOMPLISH ITS STATED
OBJECTIVES AND TO INQUIRE AS TO THE CURRENT DOLLAR VOLUME OF PROGRAM
SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THE USE OF FORECASTS IN THIS OFFERING IS PROHIBITED. ANY REPRESENTATIONS TO
THE CONTRARY AND ANY PREDICTIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, AS TO THE AMOUNT OR CERTAINTY
OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CASH BENEFIT OR TAX CONSEQUENCE WHICH MAY FLOW FROM AN
INVESTMENT IN THIS PROGRAM IS NOT PERMITTED.
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND RESALE, AND MAY
ONLY BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD IN CONFORMITY WITH THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Exhibits hereto.
See the Glossary contained in Section 17 of the Agreement of Limited Partnership
attached as Exhibit A (the "Partnership Agreement") to this Prospectus for the
definition of certain terms used in this Summary and throughout this Prospectus.
Risk Factors
An investment in the Partnership has many risks. The information appearing
under the caption "RISK FACTORS" in this Prospectus contains a detailed
discussion of the most important risks associated with an investment in
Units. Please refer thereto for a discussion of the following specific risk
factors as well as other relevant risk factors:
Partnership and Investment Risks:
o No one can predict whether Limited Partners will receive cash
distributions in amounts sufficient to return their original investment or
the amount of profit thereon, if any, that they will ultimately receive.
o Certain of the Prior Public Programs experienced losses in excess of
reserves therefor in 1991-92, due primarily to lessee bankruptcies, which
losses may effect, possibly materially, the financial results of such
earlier programs.
o The price, if any, which the Partnership receives from re-leasing or sale
of its Equipment is expected to be a small fraction of the total original
cost since most or all of the Partnership's capital investment in
Equipment is expected to be recovered through rental or royalty payments
during the Partnership's initial Leases (ranging in terms from two to five
years) and, in many cases, the Lease terms may be for a majority of the
expected useful life of the underlying Equipment. Obsolescence and other
factors, such as supply and demand for used equipment at the times that he
Partnership has Equipment available to sell or re-lease will effect the
price, if any, which the Partnership receives for such Equipment.
o The Investments to be acquired or entered into by the Partnership have not
been specified as of the date of this Prospectus and will be determined
solely by the General Partner.
o A substantial portion of the distributions to be made by the Partnership
are expected to be a return of investors' Capital Contributions,
principally due to federal tax deductions for non-cash expenses (e.g.,
depreciation) and cash expenses (e.g., amortization of acquisition costs).
o An investor's share of taxable income in the early years of the
Partnership is likely to exceed, and in the later years of the Partnership
is likely to be less than, investment income for GAAP purposes due to the
allowance of greater deductions for GAAP purposes than for tax purposes in
the early years of the Partnership.
o Investors will not have the opportunity to vote except in extraordinary
circumstances (e.g. to approve by a vote of not less than 50% or more of
all Limited Partners (a "Majority") any amendment to the Partnership
Agreement). As a result, they must rely on the skills, integrity and
business expertise of the General Partner.
o The General Partner, the Dealer-Manager and the Selling Dealers will
receive Front-End Fees of up to 25% of Gross Offering Proceeds (assuming
the maximum possible leverage of 80%) for the expenses of organizing the
Partnership program (the O & O Expense Allowance), offering Units (Sales
Commissions), supervising the sale of Units (the Underwriting Fee) and
acquiring the Partnership's Equipment, Leases and Financing Transactions
(Acquisition Fees) -- see footnotes 2 and 3 on page 2. Because such fees
are primarily paid at either the time of sale of Units or upon the
investment of Net Offering Proceeds, all of such compensation is payable
before the Limited Partners' total return of, and any investment return
on, their investment is known and regardless of whether or not they
receive a return of their entire investment. In addition, the General
Partner is entitled to Management Fees and reimbursement of certain
administrative expenses during the operational phase of the Partnership
and Subordinated Remarketing Fees and a portion of Cash From Operations
and Cash From Sales during the operational and liquidation phases of the
Partnership (subject, in each case, to certain conditions and limitations
set forth in the Partnership Agreement). None of the foregoing
compensation has been the subject of arm's length negotiations
o Investors must be prepared to hold their Units for the entire five (5)
year (minimum) to eight (8) year (maximum) Reinvestment Period following
the Final Closing Date as well as the additional liquidation period of
from six (6) to thirty (30) months thereafter because (a) only a limited
secondary market exists for the Partnership's Units generally, (b) a buyer
for Units (other than the Partnership under certain circumstances) may not
exist and (c) they are likely to be unable to resell or dispose of Units
except at a substantial discount from their purchase price. (See "TRANSFER
OF UNITS--Limited Right of Presentment" for a discussion of redemption
rights and prices).
o The risks relating to the continued Creditworthiness of Lessees and
Users.
o The risks inherent in all leveraged lease and financing
transactions.
o In general, each investor's subscription payments may be held in escrow
for up to 12 months from the Effective Date (or from the later date on
which his or her state declares the Offering to be effective) before being
returned if the Minimum Offering is not sold within such period. The
subscription payment of each Pennsylvania subscriber may be only be held
in escrow for a period of up to 120 days from the date the Escrow Agent
receives such subscription, at the end of which period such subscriber
must either be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner (if
aggregate subscriptions of $5,000,000 of Units have been received within
such period) or rescission offered to such subscriber. During the period
which a subscriber's subscription payment is being held in escrow, he or
she will be deprived of the use of such funds, although such funds will
accrue interest during such period for the benefit of such investor and
must be returned to such investor if he or she is not admitted as a
limited partner of the Partnership by the end of such period.
Federal Income Tax Risks:
o The risk the Partnership may not be classified as a limited partnership
for federal income tax purposes.
o The risk that income and expenses of the Partnership, due to their
classification as "passive income" or "portfolio income," may not be able
to be offset against other activities on an investor's income tax return.
o The risk that certain Partnership investment transactions or deductions
could be re-characterized which could result in loss of certain tax
benefits associated with an investment in Units.
o Investors may be required to report taxable income that may exceed cash
distributed to them.
o The risk the Partnership may be treated as a "publicly-traded
partnership."
The Partnership
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven is a Delaware limited partnership which
was formed on May 23, 1995 primarily to engage in the business of leasing
Equipment and providing financing, secured by equipment, to companies
determined to be Creditworthy by the General Partner as well as to engage in
any other businesses which are consistent with the Partnership's objectives
and in which the Partnership may lawfully engage. The General Partner
expects that two-thirds of Net Offering Proceeds will be invested in
Equipment which is subject to Leases which do not produce portfolio income
and that one-third of such Proceeds will be invested in Financing
Transactions as well as Leases or other transactions which produce portfolio
income although the General Partner may determine to invest up to one-half
of such Proceeds in such Investments if, in its sole discretion, it believes
such Investments to be in the best interests of the Partnership. Over the
life of the Partnership, the General Partner expects that approximately
one-third of its Investments, by cost, will consist of such types of
Investments. See "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT." The Partnership is
expected to complete its Reinvestment Period no later than five (5) years
from the Partnernership's Final Closing Date (which must occur within two
(2) years of the date of this Prospectus) and to then liquidate the
Partnership's Investments within a further period not exceeding two and
one-half (2 1/2) years unless the General Partner elects, in its sole
discretion, to extend the Reinvestment Period for a further period of three
(3) additional years. Consequently, the Reinvestment Period may end November
9, 2002 (assuming the maximum two (2) year Offering Period and no extension)
or as late as November 9, 2005 (assuming the maximum two (2) year Offering
Period and the maximum three (3) year extension of such Period). Since the
Disposition Period begins after the Reinvestment Period, the completion of
liquidation of the Partnership's Investments and winding up of its
activities and affairs could be completed by May 9, 2005 (assuming the
maximum two (2) year Offering Period, no extension and the maximum
Disposition Period of two and one-half (2 1/2) years) or as late as May 9,
2008 (assuming the maximum two (2) year Offering Period, the maximum three
(3) year extension of such Period and the maximum Disposition Period of two
and one-half (2 1/2) years). The Partnership Agreement provides that the
term of the Partnership ends December 31, 2015. Investors should therefor
expect to hold their Units for the full term of the Partnership (i.e. from 7
1/2 to 9 1/2 years from the time they invest (in the event that the General
Partner does not elect to extend the Reinvestment Period) and from up to 10
1/2 to up to 12 1/2 years (if the General Partner were to elect to extend
the Reinvestment Period for the maximum of three (3) additional years).
<PAGE>
Terms of the Offering
The Offering -- The Partnership is offering a minimum of 12,000 Units and a
maximum of 1,000,000 Units of limited partnership interests (or Units) in
the Partnership. Such offering is on a "best efforts" basis; that is, there
is no guarantee that any specified amount of money will be raised. Units
will be offered for sale by ICON Securities Corp. (the "Dealer-Manager") and
NASD-member firms (the "Selling Dealers") which have entered into Selling
Dealer Agreements with the Partnership.
Offering Period -- The Offering began on the date of this Prospectus (which
is dated as of the Effective Date) and will terminate no later than the date
twenty-four (24) months after such date. In most states, continued offering
beyond one year after the effective date in such state (see "INVESTOR
SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES"
for a chart showing each state's effective date) is subject to approval by
the applicable state securities authority. The Offering will terminate
sooner than twenty-four (24) months if either (1) the General Partner
terminates the Offering earlier or (2) subscriptions for the Maximum
Offering of 1,000,000 Units are received prior to the end of such period.
The end of the Offering Period is also called the Termination Date.
Subscriptions for Units will only be accepted from the date of this
Prospectus until the Termination Date. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
Minimum Offering -- Unless the Partnership receives subscriptions for 12,000
Units prior to the anniversary of the date on the Cover of this Prospectus
(which is dated the Effective Date), no Units will be issued and all funds
received in connection with the Offering (including accrued interest on
Subscription Monies) will be promptly refunded. Although the General Partner
and its Affiliates may purchase up to ten percent (10%) of the total Units
purchased, not more than 600 of such Units may be included in determining
whether the Minimum Offering has been achieved.
Escrow Agent; Distribution of Escrow Interest -- All subscription payments
will be deposited and held in an interest-bearing escrow account with The
Bank of New York (NJ), a New Jersey banking corporation (or another banking
institution named by the General Partner in the event that such bank is
unable to serve as escrow agent) until the earlier to occur of (i) the date
on which the Minimum Offering (or $1,200,000 in subscriptions) have been
received (exclusive of subscriptions from Pennsylvania residents) or (ii)
the anniversary of the date on the Cover of this Prospectus (which is dated
the "Effective Date"). Subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania are
subject to the further conditions that (1) each such subscription must be
held in escrow until such time as at least $5,000,000 in subscriptions (5%
of the Maximum Offering of $100,000,000) have been received from all
investors and (2) each Pennsylvania subscriber must be offered the
opportunity to rescind his or her subscription if such condition has not
been met, initially 120 days following the date his or her subscription is
received by the Escrow Agent and every 120 days thereafter during the
effective period of the offering in Pennsylvania. During the period that
subscription monies are held in escrow, such funds will be invested in a
savings or money-market account with the Escrow Agent and earn interest at
the prevailing rates applicable to such accounts from the time on the
subscription payments deposited with the Escrow Agent until the earlier of
the date (i) the subscriber is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited
Partner, (ii) in the case of Pennsylvania investors, at the end of the
respective 120 day period following the Effective Date during which his
subscription was received (during which period aggregate subscriptions of
$5,000,000 must be satisfied for such investor to be admitted as a Limited
Partner or rescission of his subscription offered to him) or (iii) the
anniversary of the date on the Cover of this Prospectus. The interest so
earned will be paid to the subscriber upon his or her admission to the
partnership (or, if such subscriber is not admitted to the Partnership, when
the subscription payments are returned). After the Initial Closing Date (see
"Closings"), subscriptions will be held in a special, segregated,
interest-bearing subscription account of the Partnership pending each
subsequent Closing (other than subscriptions from Pennsylvania investors,
which will continue to be held in the Escrow Account until subscriptions for
at least $5,000,000 of Units have been received and the next Closing is
held).
Subscription -- Every investor must manually execute a Subscription
Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto in order to purchase
Units. By subscribing for Units, each investor (other than residents of the
states specified on Pages C-3 and C-4 of the Subscription Agreement) will be
deemed to have made all of the representations and warranties contained
therein and will be bound by all of the terms of such Agreement and of the
Partnership Agreement.
<PAGE>
Closings -- The initial Closing will be held after subscriptions for at
least 12,000 Units have been received by the Escrow Agent, at which time
subscribers for at least such number of Units may be admitted to the
Partnership as Limited Partners. After the Initial Closing Date, the
Partnership intends to hold Closings semi-monthly until the Offering is
completed or terminated.
Status of the Offering -- As of the date of this Prospectus, the Partnership
has not admitted any subscribers as Limited Partners to the Partnership.
Investor Suitability -- To be eligible to purchase Units, all prospective
investors are required to comply with the Partnership's basic suitability
requirements. In general, prospective owners of Units must either have:
(i)both (A) a net worth of not less than $30,000 (determined exclusive of
the net fair market value of (a) his or her home, (b) home furnishings
and (c) personal automobiles) and (B) $30,000 of annual gross income;
or
(ii) a net worth of at least $75,000 (determined as above).
Instead of the foregoing standards, to be admitted to the Partnership as a
Limited Partner a subscriber (or fiduciary acting on his, her or its behalf)
who is a resident Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Washington must
(1) either (a) a net worth of not less than $45,000 (determined exclusive of
the net fair market value of (i) his or her home, (ii) home furnishings and
(iii) personal automobiles) plus (b) $45,000 of annual gross income or (2) a
net worth of at least $150,000 (determined as above) and a subscriber (or
fiduciary acting on his, her or its behalf). In addition, subscribers who
are residents of Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey and North Carolina
must have either (a) annual gross income of $60,000 plus a net worth of
$60,000 or (b) a net worth of at least $225,000. Finally, each subscriber
residing in Michigan or Pennsylvania must also have a net worth (exclusive
of home, home furnishings and automobiles) equal to the greater of (a) the
normal net worth requirements for this program or (b) ten times the amount
to be invested (e.g., a $200,000 net worth in order to invest $20,000). (See
"INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION
PROCEDURES" and the Subscription Agreement for a more detailed explanation
of any specific state suitability requirements).
Who Should Invest -- You should only invest in the Partnership if you (a)
are prepared to make an investment for the entire five (5) year (minimum) to
eight (8) year (maximum) Reinvestment Period following the Final Closing
Date as well as the additional liquidation period of from six (6) to thirty
(30) months thereafter, (b) have no need for liquidity of such investment
(except as may be provided by monthly cash distributions) and (c) are
prepared to assume the risks associated with such investment (see "RISK
FACTORS"). An investment in Units is not suitable for investors who will
need access to their Capital Contribution during the term of the Partnership
or for whom the projected monthly cash distributions are an essential source
of funds to pay their necessary living expenses. An investment also may
produce "unrelated business taxable income" for pension, profit-sharing and
other Qualified Plans in excess of applicable exemptions (See "INVESTMENT BY
QUALIFIED PLANS" for further information). Each potential investor should
review the information appearing under the captions "RISK FACTORS," "FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" and "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT
REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES" with particular care and should
consult his tax and investment advisors to determine (1) if an investment in
Units is appropriate for him in light of his particular tax and investment
situation and (2) if so, what portion of his total investment portfolio may
prudently be invested in Partnership Units.
Minimum Investment -- The minimum investment by an investor (whether by
subscription or through resale) is generally 25 Units except IRAs and
Qualified Plans for which the minimum investment is generally 10 Units
except for the state securities administrator of Nebraska (which has
established a 50 Unit minimum regular investor minimum investment) and the
state securities administrators of Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New
Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, and Washington (which have established a 20 Unit minimum IRA and
Qualified Plan minimum investment) and for the Iowa residents (which has
established a 20 Unit minimum IRA and Qualified Plan minimum investment).
(See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION
PROCEDURES" and the form of Subscription Agreement attached as Exhibit A
hereto). Subscribers who satisfy such minimum purchase requirements may
subscribe for additional Units and fractions of Units during the Offering
Period.
Sources and Uses of Offering Proceeds and Related Indebtedness
Not less than 74.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds will be used to make
Investments (assuming maximum possible leverage of 80%), 1% will be held in
reserves (including working capital) and the balance will be applied to pay
fees and expenses to the Sponsor and its Affiliates and to others involved
in the Offering. See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED
INDEBTEDNESS" for a breakdown of the Partnership's estimate as to how the
capital it raises and a portion of the indebtedness it may employ will be
used.
Summary of Compensation
The Dealer-Manager (an Affiliate of the General Partner which will select
the Selling Dealers and manage the Offering of Units) and the General
Partner (which will acquire the assets for and manage the business of the
Partnership) will receive compensation for their services. The section of
the Prospectus entitled "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION" details the estimated
amount and range of each item of compensation payable to the Dealer Manager
and the General Partner by the Partnership. The most significant items of
compensation are:
o Approximately 25.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (assuming maximum possible
leverage of 80%) will be used to pay the costs of organizing the
Partnership, offering the units to the public and acquiring Partnership
assets and, of such percentage, approximately 17.0% of Gross Offering
Proceeds will be paid to the General Partner or an Affiliate and
approximately 8.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds is expected to be paid to
unrelated Selling Dealers. (See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND
RELATED INDEBTEDNESS"). The Partnership may elect to borrow an amount
equal to sales commissions and use the corresponding amount of Gross
Offering Proceeds (up to 8% thereof) to make Investments and pay operating
expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's total payments of principal
of, and interest on, any such Commission Loans would exceed the
corresponding amounts of Commissions paid therewith by the amount of
interest paid on any such Loans. Consequently, the General Partner expects
to utilize Commission Loans only when, it has determined that an
opportunity exists to use such borrowings to obtain Investments which have
contractual payments at least equal to the total payments of principal of,
and interest on, the corresponding Commission Loans.
o The General Partner will generally be entitled to receive a Management Fee
of between 2% and 5% of annual gross rental payments (fee percentages for
Leases are based on whether they are Full-Payout or Operating Leases) and
2% of payments on Financing Transactions.
o The General Partner shall receive 1% and the Limited Partners 99% of each
of distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable
Cash From Sales until the Limited Partners have received total cash
distributions in an amount equal to Payout (i.e., the time when each of
the Limited Partners has received cash distributions in an amount equal to
the sum of his or her (i) capital contribution plus (ii) an 8.0%
cumulative annual return thereon, compounded daily, computed from a date
not later than the last day of the calendar quarter in which such Capital
Contribution is made (determined by treating cash actually distributed to
such Limited Partner as first being applied to satisfy such 8% return on
capital which has accrued and has not been paid and applying any excess
distributions as a return of such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution).
Income earned on escrowed funds and distributed to Limited Partners may be
used to satisfy such cumulative return requirement).
After Payout, distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales, distributions of Distributable Cash From
Operations shall be tentatively attributed 90% to the Limited Partners and
10% to the General Partner; provided, however, that, distributions shall
continue to be made 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner until the earlier of (i) when the total cash distributions made to
each Limited Partner equal 150% of his or her original Capital
Contribution (reduced by any amounts paid to him or her (A) as a return of
uninvested Capital Contributions and (B) in redemption of Units pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement) or (ii) upon liquidation of the Partnership.
The increased share of Distributable Cash From Operations tentatively
attributed to the General Partner but not actually distributed to it
because of the proviso in the preceding sentence shall accrue, without
interest, and be paid to the General Partner out of the first
Distributable Cash From Operations available to the Partnership after the
earlier of (i) the time when the total cash distributions made to each
Limited Partner equal 150% of such Partner's original Capital Contribution
(reduced by distributions in return of uninvested capital and in
redemption of Units, as described in the preceding sentence) or (ii) upon
liquidation of the Partnership.
o There are a number of other, smaller items of compensation and expense
reimbursements that the General Partner may receive during the
operations of the Partnership. See "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION."
Conflicts of Interest
The Partnership will be subject to various conflicts of interest arising
out of its relationship to the General Partner and its Affiliates. These
conflicts may include, but are not limited to:
o the lack of arm's length negotiations in determining compensation;
o competition with other leasing programs sponsored by the General Partner
or its Affiliates for the acquisition, lease, financing or sale of
Equipment; and
o competition with other leasing programs sponsored by the General Partner
or its Affiliates for management services.
In addition to the fiduciary duty that the General Partner owes to the
Limited Partners, the Partnership Agreement contains certain provisions
intended to minimize conflicts between the General Partner and its
Affiliates on the one hand and the Limited Partners on the other. See
"SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT" and "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST."
Fiduciary Responsibility
The General Partner will act as fiduciary to the Partnership. However, the
Partnership will be obligated to provide certain indemnities to the General
Partner, and, as detailed under "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST," the General Partner
will be permitted to engage in certain activities that may involve a
conflict of interest.
Other Offerings by the General Partner and its Affiliates
The General Partner has sponsored, and is currently managing, six other
public leasing programs with objectives similar to that of the Partnership
and certain Affiliates have sponsored and are managing fourteen non-public
programs with different investment objectives. (See "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE
GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES" for more detailed information concerning
the Prior Public Programs (ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series A through
Series E and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six, all of which are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Recent Public Programs") and the Prior
Performance Tables included in Exhibit B to this Prospectus for tabular and
statistical data concerning the Prior Public Programs.
Management; Financial Statements of the General Partner and of the Partnership
The sole General Partner of the Partnership is ICON Capital Corp., a
Connecticut corporation located at 600 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York
10528 (telephone 914-698-0600), which is also the Partnership's address and
telephone number. The General Partner will manage and control the affairs of
the Partnership. See "MANAGEMENT" for a description of the officers and
other key personnel who will be responsible for the management of the
Partnership's business.
The financial statements of the General Partner and of the Partnership are
located in the Prospectus under the caption "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
Investment Objectives and Policies
The Partnership intends to acquire and lease various types of Equipment,
primarily within the United States, to businesses which the General Partner
determines are Creditworthy. The Partnership will also provide financing to
these same types of businesses secured by tangible and intangible personal
property and other or additional collateral located primarily within the
United States which the General Partner determines to be sufficient in
amounts and types to provide adequate security for the current and future
obligations of such borrowers. The General Partner estimates that
approximately one-third of Net Offering Proceeds will be invested in
Financing Transactions and Leases which produce portfolio income although
the General Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to invest up to
one-half of the Partnership's funds in Financing Transactions as well as
Leases or other transactions which produce portfolio income if, in its sole
discretion, it believes such Investments to be in the best interests of the
Partnership. For the purposes of this Prospectus, the term "Creditworthy"
means, when used with respect to a prospective Lessee or User, that (1) the
Credit Committee of the General Partner has made the determination, in its
reasonable business judgment, after review of financial, credit, operational
and other information concerning such Lessee or User, that such party is
currently able, and is expected to continue throughout the term of such
transaction to be able, to meet its obligations to the Partnership in a
timely and complete manner, (2) the Lease or Financing Transaction is
adequately secured by equipment and/or other or additional collateral
obtained, directly or indirectly, from such Lessee or User (or a guarantor
or other party) and (3) the Lessee or User has satisfied substantially the
other criteria established by the Credit Committee as a condition to the
Partnership's investment in such Lease or Financing Transaction. (See
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Credit Review Procedures" for a
discussion of the procedures used by the General Partner to determine the
Creditworthiness of potential Lessees and Users).
The terms of the Partnership's Leases are expected to range from two to five
years. Each such investment is expected to provide for aggregate, basic
contractual payments (rents in the case of Leases and debt service in the
case of Financing Transactions) which return the Partnership's cost of such
Investments (including Front-End Fees), together with investment income.
After its initial term, each Lease will be expected to produce additional
investment income from the re-lease and/or ultimate sale of the Equipment.
The Partnership's overall investment objectives are to:
(1) achieve sale of the Maximum Offering in an orderly manner;
(2) promptly apply Net Offering Proceeds, together with the principal amount
of any Indebtedness, permitted to be incurred to acquire Investments which
are as broadly diversified by collateral type, lessee/user industry and
geographic location as is possible in accordance with the Partnership's
investment objectives and policies described herein and the Partnership
Agreement;
(3) arrange for financing of substantially all contractual revenues
receivable for such Investments which are not needed for current
distributions and operation expenses;
(4) make monthly cash distributions in an amount equal to the "First Cash
Distributions" to each of its Limited Partners from Cash From Operations
throughout the period which ends five (minimum) to eight (maximum) years
after the Partnership's Final Closing (the "Reinvestment Period") see
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Cash Distributions to Partners--Monthly
Cash Distributions" and "--First Cash Distributions to the Limited
Partners";
(5) re-invest all (a) excess financing proceeds and (b) undistributed Cash
From Operations and Cash From Sales in additional Investments during the
Reinvestment Period to continuously increase the total amount of the
Partnership's revenue-generating Investments (see "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES--Reinvestment of Undistributed Cash in Additional Equipment, Leases
and Financing Transactions"); and
(6) sell or otherwise transfer the Partnership's Investments and other
assets in an orderly manner and thereafter to distribute Cash From Sales
thereof to the Partners within approximately six (6) to thirty (30) months
after the end of the Reinvestment Period.
See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES" for a detailed discussion of (a)
the Partnership's proposed Investments under "--Acquisition Policies and
Procedures," "--Leases and Lessees," "--Financing Transactions" and
"--Portfolio Acquisitions" in such section; (b) the credit criteria to be
employed by the General Partner's Credit Committee and credit staff in
evaluating businesses for proposed Investments under "--Credit Review
Procedures" in such section and (c) the nature and source (e.g. capital or
investment increase) of cash distributions to be made to Limited Partners
under "--Monthly Cash Distributions" in such section.
Not less than 74.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds will be used to make
investments in Equipment, Leases and Financing Transactions (collectively
"Investments") on behalf of the Partnership (assuming that the Partnership's
initial Investments are acquired using a maximum of 80% leverage) (see
"SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS") and 1.0%
of Gross Offering Proceeds will be initially set aside in a working capital
reserve. If one assumed that individual investors (1) could purchase
Investments with the same average yield as the Partnership is able to
achieve, (2) could arrange financing on the same terms and (3) could make
such acquisitions without paying any transfer taxes or fees to brokers or
attorneys to locate, negotiate and document such transactions (each of which
assumptions the General Partner believes to be unlikely), then an investor's
return from a direct ownership of leases and financing transactions would be
greater than the return from an investment in the Partnership. In addition,
if one assumed that an investor would incur no expenses in (1) managing
Investments (e.g. billing and collecting rents, corresponding with the
Lessees, insurers and others, administering sales, use and property tax
collections, accounting and remittances to appropriate taxing authorities,
etc.) and (2) re-marketing the Equipment (both of which assumptions the
General Partner also believes to be unlikely), then such investor's annual
share of gross revenues could be said to be reduced in direct proportion to
the fees payable to the General Partner for performing such services.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" for a discussion of significant
federal income tax issues pertinent to the Partnership. Such Section also
contains a description of the legal opinion regarding federal income tax
matters that the Partnership will receive, which together with such opinion,
addresses the material federal income tax issues which are expected to be of
relevance to U.S. taxpayers who are individuals. Other tax issues of
relevance to other taxpayers should be reviewed carefully by such investors,
prior to their subscription, to determine special tax consequences of an
investment to the Partnership.
The Partnership has obtained an opinion from Whitman Breed Abbott & Morgan,
Tax Counsel to the General Partner, concerning the Partnership's
classification as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. See "--
Classification as a Partnership." The opinion states further that the
summaries of federal income tax consequences to individual holders of Units
and to certain tax-exempt entities, including qualified plans, set forth in
this Prospectus under the headings "RISK FACTORS--Federal Income Tax Risks"
and "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" and "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS"
have been reviewed by Tax Counsel and that, to the extent such summaries
contain statements or conclusions of law, Tax Counsel are of the opinion
that such statements or conclusions are correct under the Internal Revenue
Code, as presently in effect, and applicable current and proposed Treasury
Regulations, current published administrative positions of the Service
contained in Revenue Rulings and Revenue Procedures and judicial decisions.
Capitalization
The section of this Prospectus entitled "CAPITALIZATION" details, in tabular
form, the Partnership's current and projected capitalization, after
deduction of Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees and the O & O Expense
Allowance.
Summary of Partnership Agreement
The Partnership Agreement governs the relationship between the Limited
Partners and the General Partner. Investors should be particularly aware
that under the Partnership Agreement:
(1) they will have limited voting rights;
(2) their Units will not be freely transferable, and, even if transferable,
can probably only be sold at a substantial discount; and
(3) the fiduciary duty owed by the General Partner to the Limited Partners
has been modified in recognition of its sponsorship of the Prior Public
Programs so as to avoid conflicts in fiduciary standards that would
otherwise apply to the sponsor of only one investment program.
See "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT," "TRANSFER OF UNITS," "REPORTS TO
LIMITED PARTNERS" and "FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY" for further details.
Transfer of Units
The transfer of Units is subject to restrictions contained in the
Partnership Agreement which are primarily intended to avoid having the
Partnership be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" and thereby become
subject to taxation as a corporation (see "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES--Publicly Traded Partnerships" at Pages 61-62). As a result of
such limitations, however, it is possible that a Limited Partner wishing to
transfer Units might not be able to do so if the aggregate transfer limits
of the Partnership had been reached for such year. See the "TRANSFER OF
UNITS" section of the Prospectus discusses the restrictions on transfer of
Units in greater detail.
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Partnership will end on December 31.
Glossary of Terms
For definitions of certain terms used in this Prospectus, see Section 17 of
the Partnership Agreement included as Exhibit A to this Prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
The purchase of Units may be considered speculative and subject to certain
risks. In addition to the factors set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should consider the following:
Operating Risks
General. The Partnership will engage in the businesses of equipment leasing
and secured financing, which entail certain economic and other risks, including,
but not limited to, the following: the risk of physical deterioration, or
technological obsolescence of some types of Equipment that the Partnership may
lease or finance; risks related to the Creditworthiness of Lessees and the
possibility of Lessee or User defaults; fluctuations in general business and
economic conditions; and the adoption of legislation or regulations that may
affect the cost, manner of operations, and titling and registration (when
necessary), of certain of its assets. Many of the foregoing risks are outside
the control of the Partnership and may adversely affect its operating costs or
revenues, or the amounts actually realizable by it. Certain of such risks are
discussed below.
Partnership and Investment Risks
Certain of the Prior Public Programs with Investment Objectives Similar to
the Partnership have experienced unexpected losses. As discussed in greater
detail in the "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES"
Section of this Prospectus at Pages 39-41 and as shown on TABLE III, three of
the early Prior Public Programs experienced losses in 1991-1992 which were in
excess of such Programs' respective provisions or reserves for such losses. The
primary cause of such losses in each case was the bankruptcy of one or more
lessees of such Programs. A secondary cause in the case of one of such Programs
was the rapid obsolescence of equipment subject to an operating lease due to
withdrawal of software support by the manufacturer after it had been acquired by
a competitor and its product line and product support terminated by the
acquiring company. In the case of the largest two of such bankruptcies, it has
been reported in the press that each of the bankrupt companies had materially
overstated their inventories and profits in their financial statements prior to
bankruptcy. While the Partnership will use its diligent business efforts to
avoid and minimize losses and to establish reserves for losses which are
adequate and prudent, there can be no assurance that losses of the Partnership
will not exceed such reserves due to conditions beyond the control of the
General Partner. If the Partnership were to incur any such excess losses, the
amounts otherwise distributable as a return of, and a return on, capital to the
Limited Partners, would be reduced in the absence of offsetting investment gains
or cost savings by the Partnership.
Equipment and Lessees Unspecified. Because the Equipment to be purchased and
the Leases and Financing Transactions to be entered into or acquired have not
been determined as of the date of this Prospectus, the General Partner will have
complete discretion in investing the Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of the
Units and proceeds from Partnership Indebtedness within the limits set forth
under the caption "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES." In addition, because the
Partnership's Investments have not been specified, no one can predict if
investors will receive distributions sufficient to return their investment
and/or an investment return thereon.
Investments in "New/Unused," "Seasoned" and "Used/Remarketed" Equipment. The
General Partner also has discretion to invest the Net Offering Proceeds and
Indebtedness in "new/unused," "seasoned" and/or "used/remarketed" Equipment in
any proportion. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--General" and
"--Equipment"). Purchasers of Units must therefore rely solely on the judgment
and ability of the executive officers of the General Partner with respect to the
selection of lessees, the purchase of Equipment, incurring Indebtedness, the
negotiation of the terms of purchases of Equipment, Leases and Financing
Transactions and other aspects of the Partnership's business and affairs. The
General Partner expects that a substantial portion, of at least 50%, and as much
as 75%, of all its Equipment may from time to time consist of "seasoned"
Equipment (i.e. Equipment which is acquired by the Partnership during and
subject to the initial (or original) Lease of such Equipment, that at least 25%
of its Equipment will consist of "New/unused Equipment" and that 0 to 25% of its
Equipment might consist of "Used/Remarketed Equipment" (i.e. Equipment in its
second lease). The major risk associated with purchase of "Seasoned" or
"Used/Remarketed" Equipment is that the user has not maintained such Equipment
in strict compliance with the terms of its lease of such Equipment. It will not
usually be cost-effective for the Partnership to inspect each item of such
Equipment prior to its acquisition. Instead, the General Partner will seek, and
expects that it will be able in substantially all instances to obtain for the
Partnership, representations from the sellers of all Equipment, including
"seasoned" and "used" Equipment as well as from the users of such Equipment that
such Equipment has been maintained in compliance with the terms of the
applicable leases, that neither the seller, as lessor, nor the User, as lessee,
is in violation of any material terms of such Leases and that the Equipment is
in good operating condition and repair and the user has no defenses to, or
offsets against, rents payable with respect to such Equipment as a result of the
condition of the Equipment. The Partnership would have rights against the seller
or user of such "seasoned" or "used" Equipment or both for any losses of the
Partnership arising from their breach of such representations.
<PAGE>
Investment Delay. Delay may be expected between the time an investor
purchases Units in the Partnership and the time the Net Offering Proceeds from
such sales are invested in Investments. As a result, a corresponding delay may
occur in the receipt of benefits from cost recovery deductions from the
Equipment. However, the Partnership Agreement requires that all Net Offering
Proceeds from the sale of the Units, after deduction of Front-End Fees, be
invested, or committed to investment, in Equipment, Leases, Financing
Transactions and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds), within
24 months from the Effective Date of the Offering (or, if later, within 12
months of receipt of such Net Offering Proceeds). All such Net Offering Proceeds
which are not so invested or committed to investment shall be distributed to the
Limited Partners, on a pro rata basis, as a return of capital without interest
and without reduction for Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense
Allowance related to such uninvested Capital Contributions.
Investment Portfolio Composition. There can be no assurance as to the
ultimate composition of the Partnership's actual Investment portfolio, as there
is no way of anticipating what types of Equipment, Leases and Financing
Transactions will be available on reasonable terms at the times the Partnership
is ready to invest its funds. The General Partner may vary the Partnership's
Investment portfolio and may invest a substantial portion of the Net Offering
Proceeds and Cash From Operations and/or Cash From Sales in types of equipment
and financing transactions other than those described under the caption
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES" or may invest in Financing Transactions to
a greater degree than currently anticipated. (The General Partner estimates that
approximately one-third of Net Offering Proceeds will be invested in Financing
Transactions and Leases which produce portfolio income although the General
Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to invest up to one-half of the
Partnership's funds in Financing Transactions as well as Leases or other
transactions which produce portfolio income if, in its sole discretion, it
believes such Investments to be in the best interests of the Partnership.) Also,
to the extent that less than the maximum number of Units are sold, it is likely
that the Partnership would not be able to achieve as great a degree of
diversification in its portfolio of Investments as would be possible with more
capital to invest.
Residual Value of Equipment. Each investor's ultimate investment return from
the Partnership will depend, in part, upon the residual value of the
Partnership's Equipment at the time of its sale or re-lease. The residual value
of the Equipment will depend upon many factors beyond the control of the
Partnership, including the cost of similar new equipment at the time of sale,
technological obsolescence, supply of and demand for such equipment, competitive
factors and general economic conditions. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES--Acquisition Policies and Procedures."
A Lack of Diversification of Investments Would Result if only the Minimum
Offering were Raised. The Partnership may begin operations with minimum
capitalization of approximately $1,038,000 (after payment of estimated Sales
Commissions, Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense Allowance totaling 13.5% or
$162,000 of Gross Offering Proceeds) or $1,134,000 (assuming the Partnership is
successful in obtaining Commission Loans in an amount equal to the Sales
Commissions payable by the Partnership). The ability of the Partnership to
diversify its Investments and its profitability could be adversely affected by
the amount of funds at its disposal. See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS
AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" and "CAPITALIZATION."
<PAGE>
Management of the Partnership; Limited Voting Rights of Limited Partners.
All decisions with respect to management of the Partnership, including the
determination as to which Equipment the Partnership will acquire and which
Leases and Financing Transactions it will enter into or acquire, will be made
exclusively by the General Partner. The success of the Partnership, to a large
extent, will depend on the quality of its management, particularly as it relates
to acquisition of Equipment and Financing Transactions and the re-leasing and
disposition of its Equipment. Limited Partners are not permitted to take part in
the management of the Partnership or the establishment of the Partnership's
investment objectives or policies. Accordingly, potential investors should not
purchase Units unless they are willing to entrust all aspects of the management
of the Partnership to the General Partner. See "MANAGEMENT."
Generally speaking, only extraordinary matters, such as a proposed amendment
to the Partnership Agreement, are required to be submitted for vote of the
Limited Partners. For any matter submitted for vote of the Limited Partners, the
Consent of the Majority Interest (more than 50% of the Partnership Interests) is
required for approval. The Partnership Agreement provides that in determining
the requisite percentage of Interests necessary for a vote concerning (i) the
removal of the Sponsor as General Partner or (ii) any transaction between the
Sponsor and the Program, any Interests owned by the Sponsor shall not be
included.
Leveraged Investment--Increased Risk of Loss. The Partnership expects to
acquire a portion of its Investments for cash consideration and to acquire other
Investments (particularly those with investment-grade Lessees and Users) subject
to existing (primarily non-recourse) indebtedness. As an essential element of
its acquisition and operational strategy, the General Partner intends to use
additional borrowings (or "leverage") from banks or other unaffiliated lenders
(which is expected to be recourse debt as to a discrete "pool" of Leases or
other receivables in excess of those needed for current cash expenses and
distributions) to acquire additional Investments and generate additional Gross
Revenues for the Partnership. Such pooled-asset loans are commonly referred to
as "securitizations." The General Partner expects that, from the time the Gross
Offering Proceeds are fully invested in Investments, until the end of the
Reinvestment Period, at least 50% but no more than 80% of the Partnership's
aggregate cost of its Investments will have been supplied by Partnership
borrowings and existing indebtedness. The ability of the Partnership to borrow
and obtain favorable interest rates and other terms will depend in part on the
magnitude of financeable assets which the Partnership owns at any point in time
and other factors such as the general availability of investors willing to lend
money at any point in time. To the extent that the Partnership uses borrowings,
the interest rates paid by it on such borrowings may be higher than those paid
by certain leasing companies which may be able to borrow money at lesser rates
of interest. As a result, the Partnership may be required to charge higher
payments under its Leases and Financing Transactions than would be charged by a
competitor with a lower cost of borrowing in order to achieve a comparable
return on its Investments. Accordingly, the Partnership may operate at a
competitive disadvantage relative to certain other lessors and financiers of
Equipment.
Furthermore, such borrowings may be secured by a lien on some or all of the
Partnership's Equipment, Leases and/or Financing Transactions and the payments
due thereunder. Although the use of borrowings permits the Partnership to
acquire a greater number and variety of Investments, borrowings may also
increase the Partnership's risk of loss. For example, if a Lessee defaults in
the payment of rentals or royalties due under a Lease which has been assigned to
a lender, and if the Partnership is unable either (a) to re-lease or re-license
such Equipment upon rental terms comparable to those under the original Lease or
(b) is unable to pay the debt it has incurred, the lender could foreclose on
such Equipment and the Partnership could suffer a loss of its investment
therein.
It is also possible that the Partnership may, on occasion, find it necessary
to borrow funds for use in operations (for example to repair damaged Equipment
where Reserves and Cash From Operations are not sufficient to cover such costs).
There can be no assurance that, if the need to borrow funds for use in
operations were to develop, financing would be available, or if available, would
be on terms satisfactory to the Partnership.
Risks Associated with Lessee or User Default. If a Lessee or User defaulted
on its payment obligations under a Lease or Financing Transaction, the
Partnership would need to foreclose on the Equipment and/or other collateral
securing such transaction (which might include guaranties, security and time
deposits, manufacturer or vendor guaranties or re-purchase covenants). If the
Partnership were then unable to sell or re-lease the foreclosed Equipment or
collateral or were unable to repossess such Equipment or collateral promptly or
at all, the Partnership might realize a significant loss of anticipated revenues
that may result in the inability of the Partnership to recover fully its
investment in such Lease or Financing Transaction.
<PAGE>
In the Early Partnership Years Investors Will be Subject to Federal Income
Taxation on Amounts that are a Return of Capital Under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The Partnership is required to prepare its financial
statements and quarterly and annual financial reports to investors using
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and is also required to
follow the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to compute its
taxable income and deductible expenses. There are many differences between the
timing, amounts and deductibility of items under GAAP and the Code. As a result
of such differences, a higher proportion of investors' monthly cash
distributions during the early (particularly the first two) years of the
Partnership will be a return of investors' capital contributions for GAAP (or
"book") reporting purposes than for tax reporting purposes. Consequently,
investors should be aware that, as a result, there may be substantial
differences each year between net income determined on a GAAP basis, as reported
to investors periodically, and the taxable income on which investors will pay
taxes pursuant to the Code.
A Substantial Portion of the Cash Distributions of the Prior Public Programs
has been a Return of Capital. A substantial portion of distributions made to
date by the Prior Public Programs has been a return of investors' capital
contributions. See Table III of the Prior Performance Tables for the Prior
Public Programs which appear as Exhibit B to this Prospectus. Subscribers will
not acquire any ownership interest in any Prior Public Program and should not
assume that they will experience investment results or returns, if any,
comparable to those experienced by investors in any such Prior Public Program
(notwithstanding the similarity in investment objectives and intended operations
of such Programs and the Partnership) or that the prior performance of any such
Prior Public Program indicates the future results of operations of such Prior
Public Program.
Rate of Limited Partner Cash Distributions Not Fixed; Return on Investment
Not Determinable. While it is the Partnership's objective to make monthly cash
distributions from net cash flows from operations, the General Partner may
determine it is in the best interest of the Partnership to change the proportion
of such cash flows which are distributed to the Limited Partners and reinvested
in additional Investments. In addition, until all cash distributions from the
operations of the Partnership and from sale of all its assets has been completed
the level of an investor's return on investment, if any, cannot be determined.
There is no assurance that investors will achieve any specified rate of return
on their respective capital contributions to the Partnership and the total
return on capital of the Partnership can only be determined at the termination
of the Partnership after all residual cash flows (proceeds from sale and
re-leasing of equipment after the initial and any subsequent lease terms have
expired) have been realized.
Lack of a Secondary Market for Units; Restricted Transferability. The Units
are limited partnership interests. In order to avoid treatment as a "publicly
traded partnership," the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder by the
Department of the Treasury of the United States impose severe limitations on the
ability of the General Partner or the Partnership to create or participate in a
"secondary market" for Units. As a result of the foregoing, only a limited
market for limited partnership interests, such as Units, currently exists. The
ability of an owner of Units to sell or otherwise transfer such Units (other
than at a substantial discount) is extremely limited. As a result, an investor
must view an investment in the Partnership as a long-term, illiquid investment.
See "TRANSFER OF UNITS."
Redemption Price for Units Not Equal to Capital Account Balance. Commencing
with the second full quarter following the Final Closing Date, any Limited
Partner (other than any Affiliated Limited Partner) may request that the
Partnership redeem up to 100% of the Units held by such Limited Partner. The
Partnership is under no obligation to do so. The redemption price payable in the
event the General Partner determines in its sole discretion to redeem such Units
has been unilaterally set. Such redemption price initially approximates the Net
Offering Proceeds realized by the Partnership from Capital Contributions of a
Limited Partner on the date of his admission to the Partnership after deduction
of Front-End Fees and has a maximum value equal to the Capital Account balance
of such Limited Partner as of the end of the quarter preceding the redemption,
reduced by cash distributions for the calendar quarter in which the redemption
occurs. See "TRANSFER OF UNITS--Limited Right of Presentment for Redemption of
Units." However, during the term of the Partnership, the redemption price may
have no direct relationship to a Limited Partner's Capital Account at the time
of a redemption.
Conflicts of Interest. The Partnership will be subject to various
conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship to the General Partner
and its Affiliates which may arise during the life of the Partnership--see
the "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST" Section at Pages 31-35 of this Prospectus. Such
conflicts may include:
o the lack of arm's length negotiations in determining compensation;
o competition with other leasing programs sponsored by the General Partner
or its Affiliates for the acquisition, lease, financing or sale of
Equipment and for management services;
o since the General Partner is, as a general rule, liable for the
Partnership's liabilities which exceed its assets, the General Partner may
have a conflict of interest in determining when to allocate cash flow for
distribution to the Limited Partners or to the Partnership's Reserve
Account;
o in joint ventures, a conflict may arise in determining when and whether
to dispose of any jointly owned investments;
o the timing and amounts of Acquisition Fees paid to the General Partner are
based upon the total purchase price of all Equipment inclusive of debt
and, thus, are increased (subject to a ceiling on the total amount of such
fees) if a greater percent of debt is employed in acquiring the
Partnership's Investments.
o any Units sold through ICON Securities Corp. because of its affiliation
with the General Partner, will not have the benefit of a review and
investigation by an independent securities firm in the capacity of a
dealer-manager.
o in acting as the Tax Matters Partner under the Partnership Agreement for
purposes of dealing with the Internal Revenue Service ("Service"), there
can be no assurance that any decisions made by the General Partner in such
its capacity as Tax Matters Partner will be in the best interest of any
specific Limited Partner given his or her specific tax situation.
Certain of such conflicts are affected by (i) the fiduciary duty that the
General Partner owes to the Limited Partners and by (ii) provisions of the
Partnership Agreement which are intended to minimize conflicts between the
General Partner and its Affiliates on the one hand and the Limited Partners on
the other. See "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT" and "CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST."
Participation of a Securities Sales Affiliate in this Offering. The
Dealer-Manager is an Affiliate of the General Partner. As a result, the
information provided in this Prospectus will not have the benefit of a review
and investigation by an independent securities firm in the capacity of a
dealer-manager.
General Partner Not Employed by Partnership Exclusively. The Partnership
will not employ its own full-time officers, directors or employees. The General
Partner will supervise and control the business affairs of the Partnership. The
Partnership will contract with the General Partner to manage the Partnership's
Investments. The officers and employees of the General Partner will devote to
the Partnership's affairs only such time as may be reasonably necessary to
conduct its business. See "MANAGEMENT."
The Equipment Leasing and Financing Businesses are Highly Competitive. The
equipment leasing and financing businesses are highly competitive and the
Partnership will be competing with many established entities having
substantially greater financial resources than the Partnership. Many of these
entities have greater experience in said businesses than the General Partner.
See, however, "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES."
Risks of Joint Ventures. The Partnership Agreement permits the Partnership
to invest in Joint Ventures with other limited partnerships or investment
programs sponsored by the General Partner and its Affiliates as well as programs
sponsored by non-Affiliates. The maximum amount of the Partnership's Gross
Offering Proceeds which may be so invested is equal to the smallest of 25% of
(a) the Maximum Offering, (b) the sum of (i) the cumulative Gross Offering
Proceeds raised as of the closing date of such investment and (ii) the Gross
Offering Proceeds which the General Partner reasonably estimates the Partnership
will raise from such date to the Termination Date or (c) the cumulative Gross
Offering Proceeds raised as of the Termination Date. Such Joint Ventures will
have substantially identical investments objectives to the Partnership. Joint
Ventures will not permit the Partnership indirectly to engage in activities
which it cannot directly engage in as sole owner of any Investment under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES--Other Investments." Investing in Joint Ventures rather than a direct
investment in equipment or financing transactions may, under some circumstances,
involve additional risks, including risks associated with the possibility that
the Partnership's co-investors might become bankrupt or that such co-investors
may have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with the
business interests or goals of the Partnership. Among other things, actions by
such a co-investor might have the result of subjecting equipment or financing
transactions owned by the Joint Venture to liabilities in excess of those
contemplated by the Partnership or might have other adverse consequences for the
Partnership. Inasmuch as, in certain cases, no one Person may control the Joint
Venture, there will be a potential risk of impasse on decisions, including a
proposed sale or other transfer of any equipment or financing transaction, and,
although it is anticipated that the Partnership shall have a right of first
refusal with respect to the purchase of any equipment or financing transactions
held by such Joint Venture, the Partnership may not have the resources to make
such purchase. See "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST--Joint Ventures."
Uninsured Losses. The Partnership's Leases and the documentation for
Financing Transactions will generally require Lessees and Users to arrange, at
their expense, for comprehensive insurance (including fire, liability and
extended coverage) and to assume the risk of loss of the Equipment or the
collateral securing the Leases and Financing Transactions, whether or not
insured. When the Lessee or User is not required to provide such insurance, the
Partnership will provide it at its own expense. However, there are certain types
of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature such as those due to war or
earthquakes) which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should
such a disaster occur with respect to Equipment or collateral securing the
Leases and Financing Transactions and, in connection therewith, the Lessee or
User is unable to honor its payment obligations, the Partnership could suffer a
loss of capital invested in, and a loss of any profits and related cash flow
which might be anticipated from, such Investments.
Risk of Loss of Equipment Registration. Aircraft and marine vessels are
subject to certain registration requirements. Registration with the Federal
Aviation Administration ("FAA") may be required for the operation of aircraft
within the United States. Similarly, certain types of marine vessels must be
registered prior to operation in the waterways of the United States. Failure to
register or loss of such registration for aircraft or marine vessels could
result in substantial penalties, the premature sale of such Equipment and the
inability to operate and lease the Equipment. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES--Equipment--Equipment Registration."
Equipment Leases May be Subject to Usury Laws. Equipment Leases have, on
occasion, been held by the courts to be loan transactions subject to state usury
laws. It is expected that all of the Financing Transactions will be treated as
loan transactions. The Partnership intends to structure its Leases and Financing
Transactions so as to avoid application of the usury laws of the states in which
it will conduct its operations. However, there can be no assurance that the
Partnership will be successful in doing so.
Liability of Limited Partners for Certain Distributions. A Limited Partner's
personal liability for obligations of the Partnership generally will be limited
under the Delaware Act to the amount of such Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution. Under the Delaware Act, a Limited Partner may be liable to return
to the Partnership any amount distributed for a period of three years from the
date of such distribution if such distribution causes the liabilities of the
Partnership (other than Partnership liabilities to Partners on account of their
partnership interests and non-recourse debt) to exceed the fair market value of
the assets of the Partnership in the event the Limited Partner knew such facts
at the time of such distribution.
Limited Liability Not Clearly Established. The Partnership has been
organized under the Delaware Act, which is modeled after the Uniform Limited
Partnership Act. The Partnership Agreement provides for Limited Partners to
exercise certain rights relative to the internal affairs or organization of the
Partnership (such as, for example, a right to vote on the removal of the General
Partner or to terminate the Partnership). Under Delaware law, neither the
existence nor the exercise of such rights will cause the Limited Partners to be
deemed to be taking part in the control of the Partnership's business. However,
all states have not adopted the Uniform Limited Partnership Act. As a result, it
is not possible to be certain that the courts of every state would conclude that
the Limited Partners were entitled to limited liability under all circumstances.
Therefore, a risk exists as to whether the exercise (or perhaps even the
existence) of the Limited Partners' voting or other rights under the Partnership
Agreement might provide the basis for a court to hold that the Limited Partners
are not entitled to the limitation of liability which the Partnership Agreement
provides.
Subscription Payments. In general, subscription payments may be held in
escrow for up to 12 months following the Effective Date before being returned if
the Minimum Offering is not sold within such period. The subscription payment of
each Pennsylvania investor may be held for up to 120 days period before either
such subscriber is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner (in the
event that aggregate subscriptions of $5,000,000 of Units have been received for
Units) or rescission offered to such subscriber. If $5,000,000 of Units is not
received by the end of the 120 day period in which such investor's subscription
was received, then such subscriber will be offered the opportunity to rescind
his subscription and, in addition, if $5,000,000 of subscriptions are not
received within one year of the effective date of this Program in Pennsylvania,
any subscription from a Pennsylvania resident then being held in escrow will be
promptly returned to them with interest earned thereon. While any such
subscriber's funds are held in escrow, such investor will be deprived of the use
of such funds although such funds will accrue interest during such period for
the benefit of such investor.
Federal Income Tax Risks and ERISA Matters. Although certain federal income tax
aspects may be important in analyzing the attractiveness of an investment in
Partnership Units, prospective investors in the Partnership should make an
investment based primarily on economic rather than tax factors. While the
Partnership has obtained an opinion of Tax Counsel as to various tax matters and
Tax Counsel has reviewed the "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" Section of this
Prospectus for accuracy, that opinion and such review is limited largely to
those tax matters believed to be material to an individual taxpayer.
Furthermore, such tax opinion is subject to certain assumptions concerning the
future operations of the Partnership (which may vary from such assumptions) and
is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"). In addition, no
ruling has been or will be sought from the Service on any federal income tax
issue. Because of such facts and because each investor's other income and
expenses may materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in Units,
there can be no assurance that the tax consequences described in this Prospectus
will be obtained by every investor. Prospective investors and their advisors
should, therefore, not only carefully review the "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES" Section of this Prospectus, but should also carefully review their
own particular circumstances.
Federal Tax Considerations in General. No ruling has been obtained from the
Service with respect to any of the tax considerations associated with an
investment in the Partnership. Many of the tax consequences described herein are
unclear because of the passage in recent years of major tax legislation, which
has not been interpreted through Treasury Regulations and court decisions.
Availability of the tax benefits described herein may be challenged by the
Service upon audit of any tax return of the Partnership. Any adjustment to any
tax return of the Partnership as a result of an audit could also result in
adjustments to the income tax returns of the Limited Partners, and might result
in an examination of such returns for items unrelated to the Partnership, or an
examination of such returns for prior years. Moreover, the Limited Partners
could incur substantial legal and accounting costs in contesting any Service
challenge, regardless of the outcome.
Partnership Status. The Service may successfully contend that the
Partnership should be treated as a corporation or a "publicly traded
partnership" ("PTP") which is treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes rather than as a partnership. In such event, substantially all of the
possible tax benefits (primarily non-taxation of the Partnership and a
pass-through to investors of all income and losses) of an investment in the
Partnership could be eliminated. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES--Classification as a Partnership" and "--Publicly Traded
Partnerships." If the Partnership were treated as a PTP or as a corporation, the
following results would occur: (a) losses realized by the Partnership would not
pass through to Partners, (b) the Partnership would be taxed at income tax rates
applicable to corporations, and (c) distributions to the Partners would be
taxable to them as dividend income to the extent of current and accumulated
earnings and profits. In order to minimize the possibility of PTP treatment for
the Partnership, Section 10 of the Partnership Agreement provides for
restrictions on transfers of Units by incorporating certain "safe harbor" tests
specified by the Service in Notice 88-75.
Tax Treatment of Leases as Sales or Financings. Although the General Partner
expects to structure each Lease so that the Partnership will be treated, for
federal income tax purposes, as the owner and lessor of the Equipment, it is
possible that the Service may challenge some or all of the Partnership's Leases
and assert that they are properly characterized as sales or financings for
federal tax purposes. Such treatment would result in the loss of cost recovery
deductions by the Partnership with respect to the Equipment subject to such
Leases. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Tax Treatment of the Leases."
Tax Liability From Operations And Sales or Other Dispositions. The tax
liability of Partners may materially exceed net income for financial reporting
purposes. The General Partner expects that taxable income for each year will
generally, if not always, be less than cash distributions for the same year.
However, the sale or other disposition of a Unit or Partnership property may
result in Limited Partners realizing federal income tax liabilities which exceed
the amount of cash (if any) realized from such sale or other disposition.
Limitations on the Deduction of Losses. The ability of individuals, trusts,
estates, personal service corporations and certain other closely-held
corporations to deduct losses generated by the Partnership is limited to the
amounts such investors have "at risk" in the activity, i.e., generally the
amount paid for their Units plus any profit allocations, reduced by loss
allocations and distributions. Additionally, such investors are subject to
restriction on the deductibility of losses attributable to certain "passive
activities". The Partnership's operations will constitute a "passive activity".
Such investors can only use "passive losses" to offset "passive income" in
calculating tax liability. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Deductibility
of Losses: Passive Losses, Tax Basis and --'At Risk' Limitations."
Allocation of Profits and Losses. Allocations of Profits or Losses between
the General Partner and Limited Partners might be successfully challenged by the
Service if they did not have substantial economic effect or were not made in
accordance with the "interests" of the Partners. If such a challenge were
upheld, taxable income and loss might be reallocated, resulting in the Limited
Partners being allocated more taxable income or less loss than that allocated to
them under the Partnership Agreement. To avoid such a challenge, the Partnership
Agreement includes provisions regarding "special allocations" and "curative
allocations" to comply with the applicable requirements of Treasury Regulations
curative tax allocations. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Allocations of
Profits and Losses."
Unrelated Business Income. Investors which are entities customarily exempt
from federal income taxation on their income, such as qualified corporate
pension, profit sharing and stock bonus plans, including Keogh Plans ("Qualified
Plans"), IRAs and certain charitable and other organizations described in
Section 501(c) of the Code, are nevertheless subject to "unrelated business tax"
under the Code on "unrelated business taxable income" ("UBTI"). Such entities
are required to file federal income tax returns if they have total UBTI from all
sources in excess of $1,000 per year. Partnership leasing income and certain
other Partnership income will generally constitute UBTI taxable to such
entities. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Taxation of Employee Benefit
Plans and Other Tax-Exempt Organizations."
Equitable Owner of Properties. The Partnership and Joint Ventures in which
it invests will be entitled to cost recovery, depreciation or amortization
deductions with respect to their properties only if they are considered to be
the equitable owners of the Partnership's properties for federal income tax
purposes. The determination of who is the equitable owner is based on many
factors. If the Partnership were deemed not to be the equitable owner of its
Equipment and other properties, it would not be entitled to cost recovery,
depreciation or amortization deductions, and the character of Partnership
leasing income might be deemed to the non-passive. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES--Cost Recovery."
Foreign Investors. Foreign investors should be aware that income from
the Partnership will be subject to federal income tax withholding. Such
investors may also be required to file federal income tax returns. See
"FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- Foreign Investors."
Additional Taxes and Reporting Obligations. Limited Partners may be required
to pay various taxes in connection with an investment in the Partnership, such
as the alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). Each Limited Partner is expected to be
allocated a ratable share of "tax preference items" and the operations of the
Partnership may give rise to other adjustments which could increase a particular
investor's AMT. AMT is treated in the same manner as the regular income tax for
purposes of payment of estimated taxes. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES--Alternative Minimum Tax."
Limited Partners may also be subject to state and local taxation, such as
income, franchise or personal property taxes in the state in which they are
domiciled, as a result of their Partnership investment. The Partnership's use of
Equipment outside the United States (which is not presently contemplated) might
also subject the Partnership or Limited Partners to income or other taxation in
foreign countries.
ERISA Risks. Under certain circumstances, ERISA and the Code, as interpreted
by the Department of Labor, will apply a "look-through" rule under which the
assets of an entity in which a Qualified Plan or IRA has made an equity
investment may constitute "plan assets." Under certain circumstances, an
investment in Units may not be an appropriate investment for Qualified Plans or
IRAs due to such interpretations. Fiduciaries of Qualified Plans and IRAs, in
consultation with their advisors, should carefully consider: (1) whether an
investment in Units is consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities and (2)
the effect of the possible treatment of assets if the Partnership's underlying
assets are treated as "plan assets." See "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS."
THE FOREGOING IS A SUMMARY OF THE SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS
RELATING TO A PURCHASE OF UNITS AND THE FORMATION AND PROPOSED OPERATIONS OF THE
PARTNERSHIP. THE RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OF UNITS ARE FURTHER DESCRIBED IN
"FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES."
VARIOUS TAX RULES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN
TAXES, THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX, THE 'AT-RISK,' PASSIVE LOSS AND INVESTMENT
INTEREST LIMITATIONS, AND THE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX RULES PRODUCE TAX
EFFECTS THAT CAN VARY BASED ON A LIMITED PARTNER'S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
THEREFORE, PROSPECTIVE LIMITED PARTNERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN UNITS.
SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS
The following tables set forth the General Partner's best estimate of the
use of the Gross Offering Proceeds from the sale of the Minimum Offering
($1,200,000) and the Maximum Offering ($100,000,000). Because the Partnership
has not made any acquisitions, certain of the amounts below cannot be precisely
calculated at the present time and may vary substantially from these estimates.
As shown below, it is projected that 74.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds will be
used to make investments in Equipment and Financing Transactions (assuming 80%
leverage). See footnote 7 to the following table.

(1) All percentages shown in the table above are percentages of Gross Offering
Proceeds.
(2) Does not include $1,000 in cash contributed by both the Original Limited
Partner and the General Partner to the Partnership at time of its formation.
Upon the Initial Closing of the Partnership, the Original Limited Partner
will withdraw from the Partnership and his capital contribution of $1,000
will be refunded.
(3) The Partnership will pay to participating broker-dealers a Sales Commission
of $8.00 per Unit sold (8% of Gross Offering Proceeds), subject to reduction
in the case of sales qualifying for Volume Discounts, except that no Sales
Commission will be paid in respect of Units sold to Affiliated Limited
Partners. The General Partner expects that substantially all Sales
Commissions will be paid to unaffiliated Selling Dealers. Sales Commissions
are Front-End Fees regardless of whether paid by the Partnership directly or
with proceeds of Commission Loans (if any).
(4) The Partnership will pay the Dealer-Manager an Underwriting Fee equal to
$2.00 for each Unit sold (2.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds) for managing the
Offering of Units and to reimburse, on a non-accountable basis, for the
wholesaling fees and expenses of the Sponsor.
(5) The Partnership will pay the General Partner or the Dealer-Manager or both a
total amount equal to 3.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds ($3.50 per Unit
for all Units sold) as an O & O Expense Allowance. The O & O Expense
Allowance will be paid on a non-accountable basis, which means that such
compensation may be less than, or greater than, the actual costs and
expenses paid by the General Partner and the Dealer-Manager in (a)
organizing the Partnership and offering Units for sale (which may include
advertising and promotional expenses incurred in preparing the Partnership
for registration and subsequently offering and distributing the Units to the
public--the "Organizational and Offering Expenses") and (b) bona fide due
diligence fees and expenses actually incurred by the Dealer-Manager and
prospective Selling Dealers. Such due diligence fees and expenses are
limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) one-half of
1% of Gross Offering Proceeds or (b) the amount permitted to be paid
pursuant to Appendix F to Article III of the NASD Rules of Fair Practice.
The General Partner has agreed in the Partnership Agreement to pay all
Organizational and Offering Expenses in excess of 3.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds, in the aggregate, without recourse to, or reimbursement from, the
Partnership. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION" and "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP
AGREEMENT."
(6) The Partnership intends to establish an initial Reserve equal to 1% of Gross
Offering Proceeds, which will be maintained and used for insurance, certain
repairs, replacements and miscellaneous contingencies.
(7) The amounts and percentages shown represent the maximum Acquisition Fees
which are payable from Gross Offering Proceeds (assuming indebtedness equal
to the maximum possible leverage of 80% of the purchase price of Equipment
is employed). The amounts and percentage shown are computed by multiplying
3.0% by the total purchase price of Investments purchased with both Capital
Contributions and with borrowings and the result is then reduced to the
amounts and percentages shown on the foregoing chart because the total of
all Acquisition Fees cannot exceed 11.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds under
the provisions of the Partnership Agreement and the NASAA Guidelines.
SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION
The following table discloses in summary fashion the forms and estimated
amounts of all compensation or distributions which may be paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Partnership to the General Partner and its Affiliates. Some
of such compensation will be paid regardless of the success or profitability of
the Partnership's operations. The following compensation was not determined by
arm's-length negotiations.
The General Partner directly controls when Acquisition Fees (which are
payable only upon the Partnership's taking title to Investments) are paid. In
addition, the General Partner directly controls the amount of Acquisition Fees
(subject to overall limitations on all Front-End Fees) through the amount of
borrowings it uses to acquire Investments (which directly affects the Purchase
Price and Acquisition Fees payable for the Partnership's Investments). The
General Partner has subordinated the timing of its receipt of Management Fees,
Subordinated Remarketing Fees and its increased shares of Cash From Operations
and Cash From Sales to the receipt by the Limited Partners of certain total
amounts of cash distributions (as disclosed below). Notwithstanding the fact
that some of the compensation disclosed below may vary in amount from the
amounts projected, the total amounts of compensation payable to all Persons,
including the General Partner, is limited by provisions of the Partnership
Agreement and the requirements of (a) the NASAA Guidelines, which include
specific maximum sponsor compensation and minimum use of proceeds requirements
and (b) the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice (which limit selling compensation).

(1) Total Acquisition Fees paid from all sources is limited to an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) 15.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds or (b) the
difference between (i) the maximum Front-end Fees allowable under the NASAA
Guidelines and (ii) all other Front-End Fees (i.e., Sales Commissions,
Underwriting Fees and the O & O Expense Allowance, which total 13.5% of Gross
Offering Proceeds). Pursuant to the NASAA Guideline, the maximum Front-end Fees
which the Partnership may pay is 20% of Gross Offering Proceeds (if no debt is
employed by the Partnership to acquire its Investments) which percentage is
increased by .0625% for each 1% of indebtedness (up to a maximum of 80% of the
cost of the Partnership's Investments) so utilized. As a result, if the
Partnership utilized indebtedness equal to 80% of the cost of the Partnership's
Investments, the Partnership would be able to pay total Front-end Fees equal to
25% of Gross Offering Proceeds and Acquisition Fees would be limited to 11.5% of
Gross Offering Proceeds. (2) Acquisition Fees are calculated as follows: 3.0%
times Gross Offering Proceeds (100.0%) minus the total of the percentages of
Gross Offering Proceeds used for (a) Front-End Fees other than Acquisition Fees
(13.5%) and (b) Reserves (1.0%), which yields an amount equal to 85.5% of Gross
Offering Proceeds, divided by the purchase price for Investments (expressed as a
percentage) inclusive of the Acquisition Fee (103%). (That is, 3.0% X (100.0% -
14.5%) / 103% = 2.49%). Front-End Fees other than Acquisition Fees payable from
Gross Offering Proceeds include (a) Sales Commissions (8.0% of such proceeds),
(b) Underwriting Fees (2.0% of such proceeds) and (c) the O & O Expense
Allowance (3.5% of such proceeds). (Percentages are rounded up to next 0.01% in
computing Acquisition Fees in this Section and in the Section entitled "SOURCES
AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" Section).

</TABLE>
The Partnership Agreement permits the Partnership to borrow an amount equal
to the Sales Commissions (up to 8% of the Gross Offering Proceeds from each
Closing) which are paid by the Partnership (the "Commission Loans"). Commission
Loans permit the Partnership to increase the amounts available for investment by
the Partnership. If Commission Loans were obtained in the total amount of Sales
Commissions payable by the Partnership, Net Offering Proceeds and proceeds from
such Commission Loans to be applied to Investments would increase by as much as
$93,203 (from $996,117 to $1,089,320 if the Minimum Offering is subscribed) and
by up to $7,766,990 (from $83,009,709 to $90,776,699 if the Maximum Offering is
fully subscribed). In each such instance, Net Offering Proceeds to be applied to
Investments would increase from 83.01% as a percentage of Gross Offering
Proceeds to 84.05% as a percentage of the total of such (a) Gross Offering
Proceeds and (b) Commission Loan Proceeds. The Partnership's total payments of
principal of, and interest on, any such Commission Loans would exceed the
corresponding amounts of Commissions paid with the proceeds of such loans by the
interest paid thereon. Consequently, the General Partner expects to utilize
Commission Loans only when, it has determined that an opportunity exists to use
such borrowings to obtain Investments which have contractual payments which
exceed the total payments of principal of, and interest on, the corresponding
Commission Loans. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Acquisition Policies
and Procedures."

Commission Loans. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Acquisition Policies
and Procedures."
As described in the above table, the Partnership will also pay the General
Partner or the Dealer Manager or both on a non-accountable basis a total amount
equal to $3.50 per Unit sold for the O & O Expense Allowance (exclusive of Sales
Commissions), whether or not incurred. Such Organizational and Offering Expenses
include, but are not limited to, legal, accounting and printing costs, and
filing and qualification fees and disbursements, bona fide due diligence fees
and expenses actually incurred by the Dealer-Manager and prospective Selling
Dealers up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of one-half of 1% of Gross
Offering Proceeds or the amount permitted to be paid pursuant to Appendix F to
Article III of the NASD Rules of Fair Practice and expenses for salaries and
direct expenses of officers and directors of the General Partner while directly
engaged in organizing the Partnership and registering the Units. The General
Partner has agreed to pay any amount by which such O & O Expense Allowance
exceeds $3.50 per Unit (3.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds).
As described in the above table, the General Partner will be entitled to
receive Acquisition Fees from the Partnership for evaluating, selecting,
negotiating and closing the acquisition of Partnership Equipment and entering
into Financing Transactions. In addition, sellers of Equipment to the
Partnership may pay fees to brokers or finders representing such sellers, but in
no event may such brokers or finders include the General Partner or any of its
Affiliates. Although Acquisition Fees will be reduced by the amount of any fees
paid in connection with the acquisition of items of Equipment and Financing
Transactions payable by or on behalf of the Partnership to finders and brokers
who are not Affiliates of the General Partner, the Purchase Price of any
Equipment and Financing Transactions payable by the Partnership may,
nevertheless, reflect any such fees paid by the seller, so that in effect any
such fees may be indirectly paid by the Partnership without any corresponding
reduction in Acquisition Fees.
Acquisition Fees payable by the Partnership to the General Partner will
equal the sum of 3.0% of (a) the aggregate purchase price paid for all items of
Equipment acquired by the Partnership and (b) the aggregate principal amount of
Financing Transactions entered into by the Partnership with unaffiliated Users,
subject to certain conditions and limitations specified in the Partnership
Agreement. The Acquisition Fees presented under the caption "SOURCES AND USES OF
OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS" are calculated assuming that, on
average, total indebtedness will equal 80% of the Purchase Price of all of the
Partnership's Investments. Based on such assumption, the total Acquisition Fees
payable upon the Partnership's initial investment in its Equipment and Financing
Transactions are estimated at 11.5% of the Partnership's Gross Offering
Proceeds, of which total percentage approximately 2.49% would be attributable to
Net Offering Proceeds invested in the Partnership's Investments, and 9.01% would
be attributable to borrowings (or Partnership borrowings) so invested. However,
if Commission Loans were obtained in an amount equal to total Sales Commissions
payable by the Partnership (up to 8% of Gross Offering Proceeds) and the
foregoing assumption remains the same, 2.49% of the Acquisition Fees payable to
the General Partner would be attributable to Net Offering Proceeds invested in
the Partnership's Investments, 0.82% would be attributable to Commission Loans
and 8.19% would be attributable to other Partnership borrowings so invested. The
Acquisition Fee for any item of Equipment or Financing Transaction will be
reduced by the amount of fees which are payable by the Partnership to finders or
brokers who are not Affiliates of the General Partner, and no such fees may be
paid to any finder or broker who is an Affiliate of the General Partner.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership's Investments (which
term includes the Partnership's equity investment in Equipment and Financing
Transactions and, for this purpose, Reserves for working capital and contingent
liabilities, but excludes all Front-End Fees paid to or by any Person, including
Acquisition Fees and O & O Expense Allowance), will be not less than the greater
of (i) 80% of the Gross Offering Proceeds from sale of Units, reduced by .0625%
for each 1% of borrowings encumbering Partnership Investments, or (ii) 75% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds from sale of Units. To the extent that such
limitation is not otherwise satisfied, the Acquisition Fees payable or paid to
the General Partner by the Partnership will be reduced or refunded by the
General Partner to the Partnership to the extent necessary to comply with such
limitation. Any such refund shall bear interest calculated at a rate of 1% per
month if such refund is not made within 30 days after the end of any calendar
quarter in which the Partnership's Investment in Equipment fails to satisfy such
minimum investment. In the event that the Partnership's Investments would
otherwise not be in compliance with the NASAA Guidelines, Acquisition Fees shall
be reduced, or refunded by the General Partner to the Partnership in an amount
necessary to obtain compliance with the NASAA Guidelines.
In addition to such payment for the O & O Expense Allowance, the Partnership
will reimburse the General Partner and its Affiliates for (1) the actual costs
to them of goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from
unaffiliated parties; (2) expenses related to the purchase, operation, financing
and disposition of Partnership Equipment and Financing Transactions incurred
prior to the time that the Partnership has funds available to pay such expenses
directly; and (3) administrative services necessary to the prudent operation of
the Partnership, not in excess of the lesser of the General Partner's (or
Affiliate's) costs or 90% of the costs which the Partnership would be required
to pay to independent parties for comparable services. The Partnership's Annual
Reports to its Limited Partners will provide a breakdown of services performed
by, and amounts reimbursed to, the General Partner and its Affiliates.
Assuming the sale of 1,000,000 Units in 1995, the General Partner estimates
that it would incur the following expenses which would be potentially eligible
to be reimbursed by the Partnership in 1996 pursuant to 6.4(i) of the
Partnership Agreement (subject to the limitations on such reimbursements
described below):
Salaries and benefits:
Accounting staff $150,000
Professional staff 270,000
Secretarial staff 90,000
Investor relations staff 150,000
Computer and equipment 90,000
Maintenance 30,000
Total $780,000
Section 6.4(i) of the Partnership Agreement provides limitations on types
and annual amounts of eligible expenses of the Partnership which may actually be
paid by the Partnership. In general, neither the Sponsor nor any Affiliated
Entity may be reimbursed by the Partnership for amounts expended with respect to
the following:
(1) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses or other administrative items
incurred by or allocated to any Controlling Person of the Sponsor or any
such Affiliated Entity; and
(2) expenses for rent, depreciation and utilities or for capital equipment
or other administrative items (other than as specified provided in such
Section 6.4(i)).
In addition to the foregoing limitations, the reimbursement for
administrative expenses authorized by such Section 6.4(i) which is made in any
year during the Reinvestment Period may not exceed the sum of (a) 2% of the
Partnership's Gross Revenues (excluding any Cash From Sales) for such year plus
(b) the excess (if any) of such expense reimbursement limitation for all prior
years over the amounts of such expenses actually reimbursed by the Partnership
for such prior years. To the extent that the total of such expenses which are
actually incurred in any year exceed the amount which is actually reimbursed for
such year, the unreimbursed expenses will be accrued and may be paid to the
General Partner, without interest thereon, in any succeeding year for which the
administrative expenses are less than such year's expense reimbursement
limitation.
While the Partnership is not permitted to pay any remuneration to any
officer or director of the General Partner or any Affiliated Entity for services
on the Partnership's behalf, the Sponsor or the Dealer-Manager may apply any
portion or none of the O & O Expense Allowance paid to it to defray such costs.
No specific arrangements have been made for the General Partner or any of
its Affiliates of the General Partner to provide financing for Partnership
Equipment and Financing Transactions. All such financing is subject to certain
restrictions set forth in Section 6.4 of the Partnership Agreement.
<PAGE>
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Partnership will be subject to various conflicts of interest with the
General Partner, its Affiliates and investment entities advised, managed or
controlled by them. Certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement are intended
to protect the Limited Partners' interests (specifically Sections 6.2 and 6.4,
which limit the General Partner's exercise of powers and its and its Affiliates'
compensation therefor). In addition, see "FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY" for a
discussion of the General Partner's fiduciary obligations to the Limited
Partners, which, in general, require the General Partner to consider the best
interests of the Limited Partners in managing the Partnership's assets and
affairs.
The General Partner intends to use its best business judgment and discretion
and to consider good business practice and the bona fide preferences and
expectations of other parties to transactions in resolving any conflicts which
arise. Conflicts have been resolved to the extent discussed below and, except as
noted in this Section, the Sponsor has no effective means of limiting such
conflicts. These conflicts include, but are not limited to, the following:
Lack of Separate Legal Representation and Lack of Arm's Length Negotiation of
the Program Agreements
The Partnership, the Dealer-Manager and the General Partner are represented
by the same Counsel. The Limited Partners, as a group, have not been represented
by legal counsel and the Partnership's Counsel has not acted on behalf of
prospective investors nor conducted a review or investigation on their behalf.
None of the agreements and arrangements between the Partnership on the one hand
and the General Partner or Dealer-Manager on the other hand have been negotiated
on an arm's length basis. The attorneys, accountants and other experts who
perform services for the Partnership will also perform services for the General
Partner, the Dealer-Manager, certain of its Affiliates and for other
partnerships or ventures which the General Partner or its Affiliates may
sponsor. However, should a dispute arise between the Partnership, on the one
hand, and the General Partner or Dealer-Manager, on the other hand, the General
Partner will cause the Partnership to retain separate legal counsel to represent
the Partnership in connection with such dispute.
Compensation of the General Partner and Affiliates
The compensation payable by the Partnership to the General Partner and
Dealer-Manager have been determined unilaterally by the General Partner and,
therefore, are not the result of arm's-length negotiations. However, the amount
of such compensation is believed to be representative of practices in the
industry and complies with the NASAA Guidelines as in effect on the date of this
Prospectus. The General Partner and Dealer-Manager will receive substantial
compensation upon each Closing and upon, or from, the Partnership's acquisition,
use and sale of its Equipment and Financing Transactions. Decisions involving
these transactions will be made by the General Partner in its discretion. See
"SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION."
A conflict of interest may also arise from decisions by the General Partner
concerning the timing of the Partnership's purchases and sales of Equipment or
the termination of the Partnership, each of which events will have an effect on
the timing and amounts of its compensation. In such circumstances, the interest
of the General Partner in continuing the Partnership and receiving Management
Fees, for example, may conflict with the interests of the Limited Partners in
realizing an earlier return of their capital and any investment return thereon.
Effect of Leverage on Compensation Arrangements
The General Partner intends to acquire the Partnership's Investments with
borrowings approximating 50% of the aggregate purchase price of the
Partnership's total Investments, but is permitted to finance up to 80% of the
aggregate purchase price of all the Partnership Investments. Since Acquisition
Fees are based upon the purchase price of all Equipment acquired by the
Partnership, including related borrowings, the General Partner would realize a
greater amount of Acquisition Fees (subject to a ceiling on such fees) if a
greater percent of debt were employed. See "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION."
Competition With the General Partner and its Affiliates
The General Partner and its Affiliates are engaged directly and indirectly
in the business of acquiring and leasing equipment for their own respective
accounts as well as for other Programs. The General Partner or any of its
Affiliates may in the future form or sponsor, or act as a general partner of, or
as an advisor to, other investment entities (including other public equipment
ownership and leasing partnerships) which have investment objectives similar to
the Partnership's and which may be in a position to acquire the same Investments
at the same time as the Partnership. See "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
PARTNERSHIP" and "MANAGEMENT" for a chart of, and a description of the
relationships of, the Partnership to the General Partner and relevant
Affiliates.
The Partnership Agreement does not prohibit the General Partner or its
Affiliates from competing with the Partnership for Equipment acquisitions,
financing, refinancing, leasing and re-leasing opportunities on its or their own
behalf or on behalf of the prior Programs. Neither the General Partner nor any
of its Affiliates will be obligated by the Partnership Agreement to present
particular Investments opportunities that come to its attention to the
Partnership, even if such opportunities are of a character which might be
suitable for the Partnership except as follows:
Acquisition Opportunities
If the General Partner is presented with potential opportunities to acquire
a Lease and related Equipment or a Financing Transaction and the terms of
such transaction meet the investment objectives and policies of (i) the
Partnership as well as (ii) one or more Affiliated Entities:
(A) The General Partner has agreed to first refer all such Investment
opportunities to the Partnership until such time as all Capital
Contributions have been (1) invested or committed to investment in
Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds) and
used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or (2) returned to the Limited
Partners as provided in the Partnership Agreement. This priority referral
obligation will not extend to (1) groups of equipment to be leased on
various cost recovery terms, where the Partnership could not purchase all
items in the group; (2) equipment to be leased to a third party on
favorable terms, from a cost recovery viewpoint, subsequent to the lease by
the General Partner or its Affiliates to the same third party of other
items of equipment on substantially less favorable terms; (3) equipment for
which a prospective or existing lessee indicates to the General Partner or
its Affiliates that it will not lease or continue to lease unless the
General Partner or such Affiliate acquires and retains such equipment in
its own equipment portfolio; or (4) equipment subject to a lease which by
its terms is not assignable to an entity such as the Partnership (leases
that permit assignment to a "financial institution" are not deemed
assignable to the Partnership); and
(B) Thereafter, the General Partner will analyze the equipment already
purchased by, and the investment objectives of the Partnership and, each
Affiliated Entity involved and will make the decision as to which entity
should be presented with the investment opportunity based upon such
factors, among others, as (1) the investment objectives and policies of
each entity, including, without limitation, cash distribution objectives
and leverage policies, (2) the amount of cash available in each investment
entity for such acquisition and the length of time such funds have been
available, (3) the current and long-term liabilities of each investment
entity, (4) the effect of such acquisition on the diversification of each
investment entity's equipment portfolio by type of equipment, length of
lease term, industry and geographic area and (5) the estimated income tax
consequences from such acquisition to the investors in each investment
entity.
If the financing available from time to time to the Partnership and to other
Affiliated Entities is less than the aggregate amount of financing then
sought by them, the available financing shall generally be allocated to the
investment entity which has been seeking financing for the longest amount of
time.
Re-Leasing or Sale of Equipment
Conflicts may also arise between two or more Affiliated Entities (including
the Partnership) advised or managed by the General Partner or any of its
Affiliates, or between one or more of such Affiliated Entities and any
Affiliate of the General Partner acting for its own account, which may be
seeking to re-lease or sell similar equipment at the same time. In any such
case involving Affiliated Entities, the first opportunity to re-lease or
sell equipment shall generally be allocated to the Affiliated Entity
attempting to re-lease or sell equipment which has been subject to the lease
which expired first, or, if the leases expire simultaneously, the lease
which was first to take effect. However, the General Partner in its
discretion may make exceptions to this general policy where equipment is
subject to remarketing commitments which provide otherwise or in cases in
which, in the General Partner's judgment, other circumstances make the
application of such policy inequitable or not economically feasible for a
particular Investment Entity.
Determination of Reserves and Liability of the General Partner for
Partnership Obligations
As a general rule, the General Partner is liable for the Partnership's
liabilities which exceed its assets (including Reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities). The General Partner has sole discretion to determine
the amount of Reserves and the allocation of Partnership cash flow to maintain
or increase the amount the Reserve account. Because a deficiency in the amount
of reserves relative to the Partnership's contingent liabilities may expose the
General Partner to potential liability to creditors of the Partnership, the
General Partner may have a conflict of interest in determining when to allocate
cash flow for distribution to the Limited Partners or to the Partnership's
Reserve Account.
Competition by the Partnership with Other Entities for Management Services;
Conflicts in Fiduciary Duties
The Partnership will rely on the General Partner for the operation of its
business and the management of its portfolio of Equipment and Financing
Transactions. The officers and employees of the General Partner will devote only
so much of their time to the business of the Partnership as, in their judgment,
is reasonably required. There may also be conflicts of interest in the
allocation of time, services and functions between the Partnership and other
entities with which the General Partner or its Affiliates may organize or be
affiliated. The General Partner and each of its Affiliates may engage, for their
own accounts or for the accounts of others, in other business ventures, and
neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner shall be entitled to any
interest therein.
When the Sponsor owes a fiduciary duty to the Partnership and to another
Program sponsored by it, the Sponsor may have a conflict in the allocation of
fiduciary duties to each of such entities.
The Sponsor will attempt to resolve all of such conflicts by allocating
services or fiduciary duties to all Programs needing services or fiduciary
duties solely in proportion to their respective needs. The Sponsor will not
ignore the fiduciary obligation which it owes to any of such Programs. See "RISK
FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--General Partner Not Employed by
Partnership Exclusively."
Joint Ventures
To permit added diversification, the Partnership may invest in joint
ventures with other limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partner, any
Affiliate or any non-Affiliate. The maximum amount of Gross Offering Proceeds
which the Partnership may so invest is equal to the smallest of the following
amounts: (a) 25% of the Maximum Offering amount, (b) 25% of the sum of (i) the
cumulative Gross Offering Proceeds raised as of the closing date for such
investment and (ii) the Gross Offering Proceeds which the General Partner
reasonably estimates the Partnership to raise through the balance of the
Offering Period (prior to the Termination Date) or (c) 25% of the cumulative
Gross Offering Proceeds raised as of the Termination Date. If the Partnership
enters into a joint venture, the General Partner would have a fiduciary duty to
the Partnership and to any other partnerships sponsored by it which participate
in the joint venture. In order to minimize the likelihood of a conflict between
these fiduciary duties, the Partnership Agreement restricts investments in such
joint ventures in various respects and specifically requires that such joint
investment must comply with the investment criteria and investment objectives of
the Partnership. There is no specific benefit to the General Partner of joint
venturers. See "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Risks of Joint
Ventures."
Lease Referrals
From time to time, the General Partner may be presented with the opportunity
to earn fees or other compensation for referring a prospective lessee to a
lessor other than the Partnership or other programs sponsored by the General
Partner or to its Affiliates. Such activities could involve conflicts of
interest in that the General Partner would receive compensation as a result of
such referral even though the Partnership would not receive any benefits.
Section 6.5 of the Partnership Agreement provides that, if the Partnership has
funds available for investment, the General Partner will not refer prospective
lessees to third parties for compensation unless the lease terms and equipment
are deemed by the General Partner to be inconsistent with the investment
objectives and diversification of the Partnership.
Participation of a Securities Sales Affiliate in this Offering
Units will be sold on a best-efforts basis through ICON Securities Corp.
which will act as Dealer-Manager and will receive Underwriting Fees, with
respect to sales of all Units and will receive Sales Commissions for Units (if
any) sold by its securities representatives (except for sales of Units to
Affiliated Limited Partners). Because of affiliation with the General Partner,
its review and investigation of the Partnership and of the information provided
in this Prospectus will not have the benefit of a review and investigation by an
independent securities firm in the capacity of a dealer-manager.
General Partner to Act as Tax Matters Partner
The General Partner has been designated as the Tax Matters Partner under the
Partnership Agreement for purposes of dealing with the Internal Revenue Service
("Service") on any audit or other administrative proceeding before the Service
and/or any legal proceeding. As Tax Matters Partner, the General Partner is
empowered, among other acts, to enter into negotiations with the Service, to
settle tax disputes and to thereby bind the Partnership and the Limited Partners
by such settlement. While the General Partner will seek to take into
consideration the interest of the Limited Partners generally in agreeing to any
settlement of any disputed items of Partnership income and expense, there is no
assurance that such settlement will be in the best interest of any specific
Limited Partner given his or her specific tax situation.
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
General
The General Partner is accountable to the Partnership as a fiduciary
pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. In accordance therewith, the
General Partner must at all times act with integrity and good faith and exercise
due diligence in the conduct of the business of the Partnership and in resolving
conflicts of interest, subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Partnership Agreement.
Conflicts
General. Under Delaware law, general partners are held to a duty of the
highest good faith in conducting partnership affairs. This has been interpreted
to mean that a general partner cannot engage in a business which would create an
interest for the general partner that is adverse to that of the partnership.
Because the General Partner and certain partnerships which it has sponsored, or
in the future may sponsor, will acquire and lease equipment and enter into
financing arrangements, the General Partner may be deemed to have a position
adverse to the Partnership.
Modification. The Partnership Agreement includes certain provisions which
are intended to facilitate resolution of conflicts of interest which may arise
between the Partnership and other Programs sponsored by the General Partner or
any Affiliates of the General Partner with respect to particular investment
opportunities that become available. See "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST--Competition
with the General Partner and its Affiliates." In particular, the Partnership
Agreement provides that, if, after considering appropriate factors, the General
Partner determines that any investment opportunity would be equally suitable for
the Partnership and various other Affiliated Entities, the General Partner shall
make such investment opportunity available on a rotation basis; provided that
until all Capital Contributions have been invested or committed to investment in
Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds), used to
pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the Limited Partners as provided in
the Partnership Agreement, all such investment opportunities (other than certain
Leases) shall be presented to the Partnership first. Furthermore, if two or more
entities sponsored by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates are in a
position to lease the same equipment or provide the same financing, the General
Partner will generally afford priority to the entity that has equipment which
has been available for lease or sale or that has had funds available to invest
for the longest period of time. It is not clear under Delaware law whether such
provisions would be enforceable.
Detriment and Benefit. Without modifying the general common law fiduciary
duties, the General Partner could not serve as the general partner for the
Partnership and any other investor program which might acquire, finance and
lease equipment at the same time. The modification made by the Partnership
Agreement may operate as a detriment to the Limited Partners because there may
be business opportunities that will not be made available to the Partnership.
The foregoing modifications permit the General Partner to act as the General
Partner of more than one similar investment program and for the Partnership to
benefit from its experience resulting therefrom, but relieves the General
Partner and/or its Affiliates of the strict fiduciary duty of a general partner
acting as such for only one investment program at a time, and permits the
Partnership to use joint ventures to acquire larger and more diverse assets. The
Partnership Agreement provisions are intended to reconcile the applicable
requirements of the Delaware Act with the fact that the General Partner is
currently managing, and will continue to manage during the term of the
Partnership, a number of other equipment leasing programs with which possible
conflicts of interest may arise and be resolved in a manner consistent with the
expectation of the investors of all such programs, the General Partner's
fiduciary duties and the Partnership's and such other entities' investment
objectives, including especially that of investment diversification.
Indemnification of the General Partner, Dealer-Manager and Selling Dealers
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner shall have
limited liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners, and provides for
the indemnification of the General Partner and its Affiliates by the
Partnership, from assets of the Partnership (and not by the Limited Partners),
for any liability, loss, cost and expense of litigation that arises out of
certain acts or omissions by the General Partner and its Affiliates, provided
that the General Partner or the Affiliate determined in good faith that such
action or inaction was in the best interests of the Partnership and such course
of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct by the General Partner or
such Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner and each
Affiliate shall be liable, responsible and accountable, and the Partnership
shall not be liable to any such party, for any portion of any such liability,
loss, cost or expense which resulted from such party's own fraud, negligence,
misconduct or, if applicable, breach of fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any
Partner, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. As a result,
purchasers of Units may have a more limited right of action in certain
circumstances than they would in the absence of such provisions in the
Partnership Agreement which provisions could be asserted by the General Partner
as a defense to suit by a Limited Partner for alleged breach by the General
Partner of its fiduciary duty in conducting the affairs of the Partnership.
In addition, the General Partner has agreed to indemnify the Dealer-Manager
and the Selling Dealers against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses incurred by any of them (except those arising as a result of their own
fraud, negligence or misconduct) in connection with the offer or sale of Units.
A successful claim for any indemnification would deplete the Partnership's
assets by the amount paid and could reduce the amount of distributions
subsequently made to the Limited Partners.
The Partnership is not permitted, however, to furnish indemnification to the
General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, any Affiliate or any
Person acting as a Selling Dealer (as the case may be) for any losses,
liabilities or litigation, settlement or any other costs or expenses arising
from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless
(i)(A) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits in favor of such
indemnitee or Selling Dealer on each count involving alleged securities laws
violations by such indemnitee or Selling Dealer, (B) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction or
(C) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have approved a settlement of the
claims against the indemnitee and indemnification in respect of the costs
thereof, and (ii) the court shall have been advised by the General Partner as to
the current position of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities
Divisions of the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the States of
Missouri and Tennessee and any other relevant regulatory body with respect to
the issue of indemnification for securities law violations.
Investor Remedies
Under the Delaware Act, a Limited Partner may institute legal action (i) on
behalf of himself and all other similarly situated Limited Partners (a class
action) to recover damages for a breach by the General Partner of its fiduciary
duty or (ii) on behalf of the Partnership (a derivative action) to recover
damages from the General Partner or from third parties where the General Partner
has failed or refused to enforce an obligation. In addition, (i) investors may
have the right, subject to procedural and jurisdictional requirements, to bring
partnership class actions in federal courts to enforce their rights under
federal and state securities laws; and (ii) investors who have suffered losses
in connection with the purchase or sale of their Units may be able to recover
such losses from the entity (e.g., a Selling Dealer or the Dealer-Manager
(including all Persons associated therewith)) which is determined to have
violated the anti-fraud provisions of federal or state securities laws.
In addition, where an employee benefit plan has acquired Units, case law
applying the fiduciary duty concepts of ERISA to an insurance company in
connection with an insurance contract could be viewed to apply with equal force
to the General Partner. The General Partner will provide quarterly and annual
reports of operations and must, on demand, give any Limited Partner or his/her
legal representative a copy of the Form 10-K and true and full information
concerning the Partnership's affairs. Further, the Partnership's books and
records may be inspected or copied by its Limited Partners or their legal
representatives at any time during normal business hours. See "SUMMARY OF THE
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -- Access to Books and Records."
This is a rapidly developing and changing area of the law and this summary,
which describes in general terms the remedies available to Limited Partners for
breaches of fiduciary duty by the General Partner, is based on statutes and
judicial and administrative decisions as of the date of this Prospectus. Limited
Partners who have questions concerning the duties of the General Partner or who
believe that a breach of fiduciary duty by the General Partner has occurred
should consult their own counsel.
To the extent that the indemnification provisions purport to include
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and
therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than for expenses incurred in a successful defense) is asserted against
the Partnership by the General Partner under the Partnership Agreement or
otherwise, the Partnership will submit to a court of competent jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES
Prior Public Programs
The General Partner was formed in 1985 to finance and lease equipment, and
sponsor and act as the general partner for publicly offered, income-oriented
equipment leasing limited partnerships. In addition to the Partnership, the
General Partner is the general partner of ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series
A ("Series A"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series B ("Series B"), ICON Cash
Flow Partners, L.P., Series C ("Series C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P.,
Series D ("Series D"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("Series E") and
ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P. Six") which, together with Series A,
Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E is referred to collectively as the
"Prior Public Programs"). The Prior Public Programs were (or are in the case of
L.P. Six) also publicly-offered and income-oriented equipment leasing limited
partnerships with objectives similar to the Partnership. The General Partner and
its Affiliates have also engaged in the past and may in the future engage, to a
limited extent, in the business of brokering equipment leasing or financing
transactions which do not meet the investment criteria established by the
General Partner and the Prior Public Programs (such as creditworthiness,
equipment types, excess transaction size or concentration by lessee, location or
industry).
In addition, until 1985 Affiliates of the General Partner were engaged in
the business of originating privately-offered real estate investment and
equipment leasing programs which they continue to manage primarily for the
benefit of non-Affiliated parties.
As of February 1, 1989 (the final date for admission of its limited
partners), Series A had held twelve closings beginning May 6, 1988 and ending
January 8, 1989, and had received a total of $2,504,500 in limited partner
capital contributions from 222 investors. As of November 16, 1990 (the final
date for admission of its limited partners), Series B had held twenty-seven
closings beginning September 22, 1989 and ending on November 16, 1990 following

the entire $20,000,000 offering of such partnership, were admitted as limited
partners in the Series B partnership. As of June 20, 1991 (the final date for
admission of its limited partners), Series C had held thirteen closings
beginning January 3, 1991 and ending on June 20, 1991 following which a total of
1,732 investors, holding limited partnership interests equal to the entire
$20,000,000 offering of such partnership, were admitted as limited partners in
the Series C partnership. As of June 5, 1992 (the final date for admission of
its limited partners), Series D had held nineteen closings beginning September
13, 1991 and ending on June 5, 1992, following which a total of 3,054 investors,
holding limited partnership interests equal to the entire $40,000,000 offering
of such partnership, were admitted as limited partners in the Series D
partnership. As of August 6, 1993, Series E had held 27 closings beginning July
6, 1992 and including August 6, 1993, following which a total of 3,738 investors
which had subscribed for units in such partnership through July 31, 1993 (the
termination date of Series E's offering period) and which held limited
partnership interests equal to $61,041,150 out of the original $80,000,000
offering which was registered had been admitted as Limited Partners to the
Series E partnership. As of September 1, 1995, L.P. Six had held 35 closings
beginning March 31, 1994 and including August 31, 1995, following which a total
of 1,819 Limited Partners (exclusive of the Initial Limited Partner) with total
subscriptions for 307,778.5844 Units ($30,777,858.44) out of the original
$120,000,000 offering which was registered had been admitted to the Partnership.
See Exhibit B--TABLE I. "EXPERIENCE IN RAISING AND INVESTING FUNDS."
The Prior Public Programs are all actively engaged in the ownership and
operation of Leases and Financing Transactions. As of June 30, 1995, the Prior
Public Programs had originated or acquired investments (stated in terms of their
respective original acquisition costs) as follows: Series A had acquired a total
of $6,033,973 of leased equipment (by original cost), $1,527,488 of financing
transactions (by original cost) and total investments of $7,561,461 (by original
cost). Series B had acquired a total of $61,423,474 leased equipment, $3,291,882
of financing transactions and total investments of $64,715,356; Series C had
acquired a total of $65,547,480 of leased equipment, $2,103,417 of financing
transactions and total investments of $67,650,897; Series D had acquired a total
of $88,049,907 of leased equipment, $6,127,538 of financing transactions and
total investments of $94,177,445; Series E had acquired a total of $167,529,893
of leased equipment, $8,316,597 of financing transactions and total investments
of $175,846,490; and L.P. Six had acquired a total of $69,075,927 of leased
equipment, $1,584,433 of financing transactions and total investments of
$70,660,360.
As of June 30, 1995, Series A had equipment under management (by original
cost of investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold)
consisting of $622,810 of leases and $933,073 of financing transactions which
represents 10.3% and 61.1% of the original cost of investments acquired,
respectively. Series B had equipment under management (by original cost of
investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold) consisting of
$11,887,497 of leases and $1,199,559 of financing transactions which represents
19.3% and 36.4% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively,
Series C had equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of
$33,548,272 of leases and $1,588,054 of financing transactions which represents
51.2% and 75.5% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively,
Series D had equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of
$48,902,126 of leases and $3,850,571 of financing transactions which represents
55.5% and 62.8% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively,
Series E had equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of
$140,635,809 of leases and $6,888,306 of financing transactions which represents
83.9% and 82.8% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively and
L.P. Six had equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of
$67,962,549 of leases and $1,584,433 of financing transactions which represents
98.4% and 100% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively.
The percentages and amounts of cash distributions which represented
investment income (after deductions for depreciation and amortization of initial
direct costs of its investments) and a return of capital (corresponding to a
portion of the depreciation deductions for the related equipment) for Series A
through L.P. Six for each year from their respective dates of formation through
June 30, 1995 are included in TABLE III of Exhibit B hereto ("Operating Results
of Prior Public Programs"). Certain additional investment information concerning
such Programs as of June 30, 1995 is also included in Tables I, II and V of
Exhibit B and in Table VI to the Registration Statement, as amended, of which
this Prospectus is a part.
Three of the Prior Public Programs, Series A, Series B and Series C
experienced unexpected losses in 1991-1992 as shown on TABLE III. Series A
experienced losses of $133,569 in 1992 primarily related to the bankruptcy of
Richmond Gordman Stores, Inc. Series B established a provision for bad debts in
1991 of $1,260,999 primarily relating to defaults by guarantors under asset
purchase contracts and, in addition, wrote down its investment in equipment
leases related to Financial News Network, Inc. and Data Broadcasting Services,
Inc. by $148,983 as a result of reported lessee fraud by those companies and
their eventual bankruptcy. In 1992, Series B wrote down its residual positions
by $506,690, $138,218 of which was related to the bankruptcy of Richmond Gordman
Stores, Inc. and $368,472 of which was related to rapid obsolescence of
equipment due to unexpected withdrawal of software support by the manufacturer.
Series C wrote-down its residual position in 1992 by $1,412,365 relating to the
bankruptcy of PharMor, Inc. which involved the reported misappropriation of
funds by the management of such company and the overstatement of inventory on
its audited financial statements. The Sponsor has taken certain steps which it
believes will permit Series A, Series B and Series C to recover such losses,
including the following: (1) foregone Administrative Expense reimbursements for
the period July 1, 1991 through September 30, 1993, to which it was otherwise
entitled in the amount of $34,961 (Series A), $697,463 (Series B) and $859,961
(Series C); (2) reduced the annual cash distribution rate to 9% effective
September 1, 1993 for Series A, B and C to make available additional funds for
supplemental reinvestments for each of such Programs; (3) deferred the Sponsor's
receipt of management fees effective September 1, 1993 (which deferrals for the
period September 1, 1993 through June 30, 1995 amount to $28,812 (Series A),
$315,408 (Series B) and $428,503 (Series C)); (4) effective January 1, 1994
reduced the management fees which Series A, Series B and Series C each pays to
the Sponsor to a flat rate of 2% and effective January 1, 1995 further reduced
the management fees which Series A pays to the Sponsor to a flat rate of 1%,
which fee reductions have resulted in decreases in expenses to such Programs for
the period January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995 of $17,198 (Series A), $262,310
(Series B) and $325,766 (Series C); (5) effective January 31, 1994, converted
the variable rate borrowing facilities of Series A, B and C to fixed rate, term
loan financings in the original principal amounts of $720,000, $1,600,000 and
$1,500,000, respectively, to eliminate interest rate risk on the related
portions of such Programs' portfolios; and (6) effective January 31, 1995,
amended the partnership agreement of Series A, by vote of a majority of its
limited partners to (a) extend the reinvestment period of Series A by not less
than 2 nor more than 4 years, (b) authorize loans by the Sponsor to Series A
under certain conditions for a term in excess of twelve months and up to
$250,000, and (c) (as noted in clause (4), above) decrease the rate of
management fees payable by Series A to the Sponsor to a flat 1% of gross
revenues from all of its leases and financing transactions (pursuant to the
amendments, the Sponsor, in February and March 1995, lent $75,000 and $100,000,
respectively, to Series A). The Sponsor subsequently elected to write off such
loans as of March 31, 1995 (see Note (4) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Sponsor appearing on Page 119 of this Prospectus). There can
be no assurance that the forgoing steps will be successful in recovering the
full amount of the losses of Series A, Series B and Series C which are described
in this paragraph. To the extent such efforts are not successful and, as a
result, Series A, Series B or Series C do not earn sufficient amounts through
their respective remaining periods of operations to recoup such losses, any of
such Programs so effected would not be able to return all of its respective
investors' capital.
The General Partner hereby agrees that it will provide the most recent Form
10-K for any of the Prior Public Programs, upon written request (with no fee but
with reimbursement of its actual out of pocket costs and expenses of copying and
mailing such Form 10-K) and provide copies of the exhibits to such Form 10-K for
a reasonable fee and with reimbursement of its actual out of pocket costs and
expenses of copying and mailing such exhibits to such Form 10-K.
Prior Non-Public Programs
Certain subsidiaries of International Consolidated Group, Inc. ("ICG"), an
Affiliate of the General Partner (see "MANAGEMENT"), sponsored and completed the
sale of securities for fifty-nine tax-advantaged investment programs (the "Prior
Non-Public Programs") between the years 1979 through 1985. All of such programs'
investment objectives are substantially dissimilar to those of the Prior Public
Programs of the Partnership.
The information presented in this Section concerning the Prior Public
Programs and the Prior Non-Public Programs and the information and data in the
Tables included as Exhibit B for the Prior Public Programs are unaudited and
represent the experience of the General Partner and its Affiliates in the Prior
Programs. Persons who invest in Units in the Partnership will not have any
ownership interest in any other program as a result of such investment and
should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those
experienced by the investors in the Prior Public Programs.
STATUS OF THE OFFERING
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Partnership had not had its Initial
Closing.

Affiliates of the General Partner
ICON Securities Corp. and International Consolidated Group, Inc.
ICON Securities Corp., (the "Dealer-Manager"), is a New York corporation and
a wholly owned subsidiary of International Consolidated Group, Inc., which was
formed in 1982 to manage the equity sales for investor programs sponsored by its
Affiliates. The Dealer-Manager is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ICON Securities Corp.
will act as the Dealer-Manager of the Offering.
International Consolidated Group, Inc. ("ICG") is a New York corporation and
the parent of a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the
Dealer-Manager, which were formed to sponsor, own, operate, and manage
privately-offered investment programs in specified leasing, finance and real
estate investments, and to sell equity interests in such programs. Of those
subsidiaries, only the Dealer-Manager is intended to continue to engage in any
material on-going business activity after completion of operations of those
programs.
In the years from 1979 through 1986, ICG and/or its subsidiaries
successfully syndicated the equity offering of 59 privately offered
tax-advantaged investment programs engaged in the equipment leasing and lease
finance businesses and three real estate leasing programs which in the aggregate
raised approximately $24.6 million of equity and invested the net funds raised
by such offerings in approximately $90 million of equipment, financing
transactions and reserves.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
General
Investment Objectives. The Partnership intends to acquire and lease various
types of Equipment primarily to businesses located within the United States,
which the General Partner determines are Creditworthy. The Partnership will also
provide financing to these same types of businesses secured by tangible and
intangible personal property and other or additional collateral determined by
the General Partner to be sufficient in amounts and types to provide adequate
security for the current and future obligations of such borrowers. The General
Partner estimates that approximately one-third of Net Offering Proceeds will be
invested in Financing Transactions as well as Leases or other transactions which
produce portfolio income although the General Partner may determine to invest up
to one-half of such Proceeds in such Investments if, in its sole discretion, it
believes such Investments to be in the best interests of the Partnership. Over
the life of the Partnership, the General Partner expects that approximately
one-third of its Investments, by cost, will consist of such types of
Investments. See "Investment Discretion of the General Partner" and "Credit
Review Procedures" in this section.
The Partnership's overall investment objectives are:
(i) to achieve the Maximum Offering in an orderly manner;
(ii) to apply promptly Net Offering Proceeds, together with the principal
amount of any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred, to acquire Investments,
which are as broadly diversified by collateral type, lessee/user industry
and geographic location as is possible in accordance with the Partnership's
investment objectives and policies described herein and in the Partnership
Agreement;
(iii) to arrange for financing of substantially all contractual revenues
receivable for such Investments which are not needed for current
distributions and operating expenses;
(iv) to make monthly cash distributions in an amount equal to "First Cash
Distributions" to each of the Limited Partners from Cash From Operations
during the Reinvestment Period (which shall commence on the Initial Closing
Date and end not less than five (5) years nor more than eight (8) years
after the Final Closing Date (see "Cash Distributions to Partners--Monthly
Cash Distributions and; "--First Cash Distributions to the Limited Partners"
in this section);
(v) to re-invest all undistributed Cash From Operations and Cash From Sales
in additional Investments during the Reinvestment Period to increase
continuously the total amount of the Partnership's revenue-generating
Investments (see "--Reinvestment of Undistributed Cash in Additional
Equipment, Leases and Financing Transactions" in this section); and then
(vi) to sell or otherwise transfer the Partnership's Investments and other
assets in an orderly manner and thereafter to distribute Cash From Sales
thereof to the Partners within approximately six (6) to thirty (30) months
after the end of the Reinvestment Period.
It is expected that the Partnership will initially invest a minimum of the
sum of (x) 74.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (assuming 80% leverage--see "SOURCES
AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS") and (y) related
borrowings (which are projected to average 50%, but may be up to 80%, of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Partnership's Investments), together with
amounts payable from the rentals due from its Leases and excess Cash From
Operations, to make Investments.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PARTNERSHIP WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN MEETING ANY
OF ITS OBJECTIVES OR THAT SUCH OBJECTIVES WILL BE ATTAINED AT ALL.
Investment Discretion of the General Partner. As of the date of this
Prospectus, the Partnership does not have any investment in, or option or
contractual commitment to acquire, lease or finance any specific Investments. In
light of the fact that no proposed Investments have been made by or for the
Partnership by any of the Partnership, the General Partner or any Affiliate of
the General Partner as of the date of this Prospectus, and because there can be
no way of anticipating what types of Investments will be available on reasonable
terms at the times the Partnership is ready to invest its funds, there can be no
assurance as to the ultimate composition of the Partnership's actual Investment
portfolio. In addition, the proportion of the total Investments which will be
made in Equipment and Leases on the one hand and Financing Transactions on the
other hand will depend on a number of factors including, without limitation,
state tax laws (e.g., sales, use, property and/or franchise taxes which apply in
certain jurisdictions to leases and leased equipment but not loans and the
collateral therefor) or other laws (for example, those applicable to secured
transactions) which may make it more cost-effective to a proposed User or
provide the Partnership with additional rights or cost-savings if a transaction
is structured as a Financing Transaction rather than a Lease. Accordingly, the
General Partner may vary the Partnership's Investment portfolio to adjust to
prevailing market, statutory and economic conditions to achieve the
Partnership's investment yield, cash distribution and other objectives. See
"FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY" and "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND
AFFILIATES" and Table IV to the Registration Statement.
The success of the Partnership will largely depend upon the quality of the
Equipment purchased, the timing of such purchases and the Purchase Price and
other lease and remarketing terms negotiated by the General Partner with respect
thereto. Furthermore, in order to ensure that Equipment is suitable for re-lease
or sale, the Partnership may be required to recondition the Equipment and may be
required to borrow funds for that purpose. See "--Leveraged Investments" below.
Acquisition Policies and Procedures
Equipment. The Partnership will only acquire Equipment which a
non-Affiliated Creditworthy Lessee has committed to lease from the Partnership
or which is subject to an existing lease. See "--Leases and Lessees" in this
section. The Partnership may purchase Used Equipment from the current users
(which may be the proposed Lessees pursuant to a sale-leaseback or other
arrangement) or from dealers in such Equipment at a price which will not exceed
the fair market value of such Equipment. New Equipment purchased by the
Partnership may be acquired from manufacturers, dealers or proposed Lessees
(through a sale-leaseback or other arrangement), either by contracting with such
parties directly or by purchasing rights under previously existing purchase
agreements. Under certain circumstances, Equipment may be purchased from other
sources on an ad hoc basis to meet the needs of a particular Creditworthy
Lessee. Substantial Equipment purchases by the Partnership will be made only
subject to the General Partner obtaining such information and reports, and
undertaking such inspections and surveys, as the General Partner may deem
necessary or advisable to determine the probable economic life, reliability and
productivity of such Equipment, as well as the competitive position, suitability
and desirability of investing in such Equipment as compared with other
investment opportunities. There can be no assurance that favorable purchase
agreements can be negotiated with Equipment manufacturers or their authorized
dealers or lease brokers at the time the Partnership commences operations or at
any time during the life of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
The Partnership shall neither purchase, lease or license Investments from,
nor sell, lease or license Investments to, the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General Partner (including, without limitation, any Program in which the
General Partner or any such Affiliate has an interest); provided, however, that
the Partnership may make Affiliated Investments and Investments in Joint
Ventures after satisfying certain conditions and subject to certain
restrictions. See "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -- Limitations on
Exercise of Powers by the General Partner." After the Initial Closing Date, it
is anticipated that most of the Partnership's Equipment will be purchased
directly by the Partnership.
The General Partner intends to evaluate the Partnership's Investments at
least annually, and more frequently as circumstances require, to determine
whether all items of Equipment and Financing Transactions should remain in its
portfolio or should be sold. The General Partner will make that decision based
upon the Partnership's operating results, general economic conditions, tax
considerations, the nature and condition of items of Equipment, the financial
condition of the parties obligated to make payments under Leases and Financing
Transactions, alternate investment opportunities then available to the
Partnership and other factors that the General Partner deems appropriate to such
evaluation.
Any Net Offering Proceeds not used to make Investments or committed to
Reserves to the extent permitted to be treated as Investments (see "Reserves")
within 24 months after the Effective Date (or, if later, within 12 months of
receipt of Offering Proceeds) will be returned pro rata to the Limited Partners
based upon their respective number of Units, without interest and without
deduction for Front-End Fees. See "--Return of Uninvested Net Proceeds."
Credit Review Procedures
All investment decisions with respect to the acquisition and leasing of
Equipment and the entering into of Financing Transactions shall be made by the
executive officers of the General Partner, subject to the approval of the Credit
Committee of the General Partner and to the investment policies described herein
and the undertakings set forth under "CONFLICTS OF INTEREST." All potential
Leases and Financing Transactions shall be evaluated on the basis of (i) the
extent to which such transaction appears to satisfy the Partnership's investment
objectives, including particularly the economic return to the Partnership, (ii)
the financial condition of the prospective Lessee or User and the character of
its business, (iii) the availability of additional collateral and credit
enhancements to ensure performance by the potential Lessee or User and (iv) the
type of equipment to be purchased for lease or which will secure the proposed
Financing Transaction.
The General Partner has established a Credit Committee, which has set, and
may from time to time revise, standards and procedures for the review and
approval of potential Leases and Financing Transactions by the credit department
of the General Partner (including, without limitation, the determination whether
any Person qualifies as a Creditworthy Lessee or a Creditworthy User). The
Credit Committee will be responsible for supervising the day-to-day work of the
credit department and approving significant individual transactions or portfolio
purchases as well as transactions which vary from standard credit criteria and
policies. The Credit Committee will, at all times, consist of four persons
designated by the General Partner. It is anticipated that all four persons
comprising the Credit Committee will be and will continue to be officers and
employees of the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General Partner. Action
by the Credit Committee shall be determined by a majority and a report of any
action taken thereby shall promptly be delivered to the General Partner. As of
the date of this Prospectus, the members of the Credit Committee are Messrs.
Beekman, DeRussy and Duggan and Mrs. Schuette.
The credit department is responsible for following the credit review
procedures described below and determining compliance therewith. The General
Partner intends that the such procedures (or similar procedures that it believes
to be equally reliable) shall be observed in reviewing either potential Leases
or Financing Transactions whether originated by the General Partner or any
Affiliate of the General Partner or acquired by the Partnership from
non-Affiliated third parties. Such procedures currently in effect are generally
as follows:
<PAGE>
(i) receipt of a Lease or financing application from a potential
Creditworthy Lessee or Creditworthy User;
(ii) receipt and analysis of such potential Lessee's or User's current and
recent years' financial statements and, if deemed appropriate, income tax
returns for the most recently completed fiscal year(s) of such Lessee or
User;
(iii) independent verification of the potential Lessee's or User's credit
history, bank accounts and trade references;
(iv) credit reports concerning the potential Lessee or User from credit
agencies such as Dun & Bradstreet, TRW, etc.; and
(v) review and verification of underlying equipment or other collateral.
The General Partner's credit procedures become progressively more stringent
for transactions above $25,000 and $75,000, respectively, at each of which
levels additional procedures, documentation and/or credit enhancement will be
required as specified in such credit procedures and/or as required by the Credit
Committee. See "--Portfolio Acquisitions" in this section.
After a thorough review of the above documents, a credit decision is made by
the credit department of the General Partner and the transaction is submitted
for the review and approval of the Credit Committee. If the transaction is
approved, appropriate documentation (including any applicable Lease or other
financing agreement) is forwarded to the proposed Creditworthy Lessee or
Creditworthy User, as the case may be. In addition, the General Partner will,
where it deems appropriate, seek and obtain the personal guarantees of
principals or corporate parents of, or other forms of credit enhancements
(including, among other things, certificates of deposit, letters of credit,
mortgages on real estate or liens on unrelated equipment) from Creditworthy
Lessees and Creditworthy Users in connection with the funding of the
transaction. Upon the General Partner's receipt, review and acceptance (and (if
applicable) any lender's acceptance) of all appropriate documentation, signed by
the Creditworthy Lessee or the Creditworthy User, as the case may be, the
General Partner will enter into the subject Lease or Financing Transaction in
accordance with the terms thereof.
Leases and Lessees
General. The Partnership's Leases are anticipated to have terms ranging from
two to five years. Each Lease is expected to provide for aggregate contractual
rents that return the Partnership's cost of its Investments (including Front-End
Fees) along with investment income. After its initial term, each Lease will be
expected to produce additional investment income from the re-lease and/or
ultimate sale of the Equipment subject thereto. Nevertheless, the actual
economic return to the Partnership under any Lease will depend upon several
factors, such as the amount of the rental and other payments required to be made
by the Lessee under such Lease and the re-lease or sale value of the Equipment
at the expiration of the term thereof.
The General Partner anticipates that each Lease entered into on behalf of
the Partnership, as well as each existing Lease acquired on behalf of the
Partnership, will generally provide that the Creditworthy Lessee will: (i) pay
rent and other payments without deduction or offset of any kind; (ii) bear the
risk of loss of the Equipment subject thereto; (iii) pay sales, use or similar
taxes relating to the lease or other use of the Equipment; (iv) indemnify the
Partnership against any liability resulting from any act or omission of the
Creditworthy Lessee or its agents; (v) maintain the Equipment in good working
order and condition during the term of such Lease; and (vi) not permit the
assignment or sublease of the Equipment subject thereto without the prior
written consent of the General Partner. The General Partner also anticipates
that none of such Leases will be cancelable during their initial terms; provided
that the General Partner may agree to Lease provisions which permit cancellation
of a Lease upon payment of an appropriate penalty or upon securing a substitute
Lessee if such provisions are deemed by the General Partner to be in the
Partnership's best interest.
Tax Classification of Leases. Although the Partnership intends to structure
its Leases so that they are treated as leases rather than as conditional sales
or financing transactions for tax purposes, the Service may contend in a given
case that a Lease should be characterized as a sale or financing transaction, in
which case a portion (equivalent to an interest element) of Lease revenues would
be treated as ordinary income without offset or deduction for cost recovery and
the balance of Lease payments would be treated as a return of principal. See
"RISK FACTORS--
<PAGE>
Federal Income Tax Risks and ERISA Matters--Tax Treatment of Leases as Sales or
Financings and "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- Tax Treatment of the Leases."
Re-Leasing of Equipment. Following the expiration of any Lease entered into
by the Partnership, the Partnership will seek to remarket the Equipment subject
thereto by either (i) extending or renewing such Lease with the existing
Creditworthy Lessee, (ii) leasing such Equipment to a new Creditworthy Lessee or
(iii) selling such Equipment to the existing Lessee or a third party; provided
that, during the Disposition Period, subsequent Leases covering such Equipment
shall be upon terms consistent with the liquidation of the Partnership's
Investments and other assets and the distribution of the proceeds thereof.
Restrictions To Assure Diversification. It is an objective of the
Partnership to maintain adequate diversification of Creditworthy Lessees and
Creditworthy Users. To that end, the General Partner intends not to acquire
Equipment for lease to any one Lessee if, after such acquisition, such Equipment
would have an aggregate Purchase Price in excess of 25% of the Partnership's
original cost for all Investments in its portfolio as of the Final Closing Date,
unless such Lessee has a net worth in excess of $100,000,000.
Lease Provisions. The specific provisions of each Lease to be entered into
or be acquired by the Partnership will depend upon a variety of factors,
including (i) the type and intended use of the Equipment covered thereby, (ii)
the business, operations and financial condition of the Creditworthy Lessee
party thereto, (iii) regulatory considerations and (iv) the tax consequences and
accounting treatment of certain provisions thereof.
The General Partner anticipates that each such Lease will generally require
that Creditworthy Lessees maintain both (i) casualty insurance in an amount
equal to the lesser of the market value of the Equipment subject thereto or a
specified amount set forth in such Lease and (2) liability insurance (naming the
Partnership as an additional insured) in an amount consistent with industry
standards. In addition, each such Lease shall generally require the Creditworthy
Lessee party thereto to indemnify the Partnership as lessor under such Lease
against any loss or liability incurred by or asserted against it arising out of
such Lease, or any performance thereunder, or which is related to the Equipment
subject thereto and to insure the Equipment, the Partnership and any other party
with an interest in the Equipment from the normal risks of owning and operating
the Equipment. In the opinion of the General Partner, each such Lease will also
otherwise generally afford the Partnership overall protection substantially
equivalent to that provided in leases then being negotiated by leasing companies
and financial institutions.
Each such Lease will prescribe certain events of default, including, without
limitation, (i) a default, subject to applicable grace periods (if any), in the
payment of rent, (ii) a failure, subject to applicable grace periods (if any),
to observe or perform covenants or terms of such Lease and (iii) certain events
with respect to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Creditworthy Lessee party
thereto. Enforcement of remedies is subject to applicable bankruptcy and similar
laws. If, and to the extent that, the Partnership borrows funds in connection
with any Lease, it will generally be required to assign some or all of its
rights under such Lease as collateral for such borrowing.
At the end of each Lease term, the Lessee will often have the option to buy
the Equipment subject thereto or to terminate the Lease and return such
Equipment. The options available to the Lessee at the end of the Lease are
significant in that the nature and extent of such options may determine the
categorization of the Lease for tax, financial reporting and other purposes. See
"FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Tax Treatment of the Leases."
While the General Partner anticipates that all of the Equipment acquired by
the Partnership will be leased to Creditworthy Lessees whose businesses are
located within the United States, the Partnership may (but does not presently
anticipate that it will) enter into Leases for Equipment located outside the
United States to an incidental degree, pursuant to which the Partnership may
have an increased risk of loss in the event of a default by the Creditworthy
Lessee party thereto.
Equipment
"New/Unused", "Seasoned" and "Used/Remarketed Equipment". The General
Partner anticipates that the Partnership will acquire both "new/unused"
Equipment (that is, Equipment initially delivered new by the manufacturer or
vendor to the current Lessee less than two months prior to its purchase by the
Partnership) and "seasoned" Equipment (that is, Equipment initially delivered
new by the manufacturer or new equipment vendor to the current Lessee more than
two months prior to the Partnership's purchase of such Equipment and prior to
the earlier of (i) the expiration of the first Lease thereof or (ii) the fifth
anniversary of such initial delivery date). The Partnership expects that
approximately 25% of its Equipment will consist of "new/unused" Equipment,
50-75% its Equipment will consist of "seasoned" Equipment and the balance of its
Equipment will consist of "used/remarketed" (that is, Equipment which was leased
previously to another user) Equipment. The Partnership may also purchase
"used/remarketed" Equipment in lieu of "new/unused" Equipment or "seasoned"
Equipment and, at any time, "used/remarketed" Equipment may comprise 25% of the
aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Partnership for all of its Equipment. Any
item of Equipment shall be purchased by the Partnership at a Purchase Price not
greater than the then current fair market value thereof.
"Seasoned" Equipment would be purchased at discounts from the Seller's
original cost, determined by the Credit Committee to be appropriate, to reflect
the (i) remaining useful life of such Equipment and (ii) the remaining
contractual payments due under the related Leases or Financing Transactions.
"Seasoned" transactions frequently are advantageous because the Partnership's
credit department will have the opportunity to analyze detailed payment
histories for the Creditworthy Lessee and or Creditworthy User prior to entering
into a purchase commitment. In addition, the Partnership frequently can reduce
or eliminate the normal credit risk associated with any Lease by negotiating for
the seller to repurchase those Leases, the payments under which are not kept
current within a specified trial period following the Partnership's purchase of
such Equipment and related Leases. See "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment
Risks--Equipment and Lessees Unspecified; Investments in 'New/Unused,'
'Seasoned' and 'Used/Remarketed' Equipment; Investment Delay; Investment
Portfolio Composition."
Equipment Registration. Aircraft and marine vessels may be subject to
certain registration requirements imposed by federal law and regulations.
Registration, which may be required for operation of aircraft within the United
States, is permitted only if each partner of a partnership which owns such
aircraft is a United States Citizen (as defined below) or a Resident Alien. A
trust of which a United States Citizen is the trustee may own United States
registered aircraft if the trustee is not subject to removal or certain control
or influence by beneficiaries more than 25% of whom are neither United States
Citizens nor Resident Aliens. As a consequence, title to certain aircraft that
the Partnership may acquire may be held by a trust for the benefit of the
Partnership. Similarly, certain types of marine vessels must be registered prior
to operation in the waterways of the United States. A partnership may register
its vessels with the federal government only if at least 75% of its partners are
United States Citizens. If at any time a partnership which owns United States
registered aircraft and/or vessels (or serves as the beneficiary of a trust
which does so) fails to satisfy the registration requirements (whether due to
misrepresentation, change in citizenship status or transfer of units to a Person
other than a United States Citizen or Resident Alien), United States
registration may be challenged by an agency of the federal government. Any
challenge, if successful, could result in substantial penalties, the premature
sale of such Equipment, the loss of the benefits of the central recording system
with respect to aircraft (thereby leaving the aircraft exposed to liens or other
interests not of record) and a breach of lease agreements entered into in
connection with the acquisition and leasing of such Equipment. See "RISK FACTORS
- -- Partnership and Investment Risks -- Risk of Loss of Equipment Registration."
Accordingly, the General Partner will not admit a non-United States Citizen as
an Assignee or Substitute Limited Partner of the Partnership if such admission
would result in the potential invalidation of the registration of aircraft or
vessels. See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS;
SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES -- Citizenship" and "TRANSFER OF UNITS -- Restrictions
on the Transfer of Units.")
Types of Equipment. The Partnership's Equipment is expected to include:
(i) office and management information systems equipment (including, but not
limited to, small, mini- and microcomputer management information systems)
communication and related peripheral equipment, such as, terminals, tape,
magnetic or optical, disc drives, disc controllers, printers, optical
character scanning devices, and communication devices and modems), graphic
processing equipment (such as typesetters, printing presses, computer aided
design/computer aided manufacturing ("CAD/CAM") equipment) and photocopying
equipment;
(ii) printing systems (including, but not limited to, electronic laser
printers);
(iii) materials handling equipment, including, but not limited to,
fork-lifts and other more specialized equipment for moving materials in
warehouse or shipping or areas;
(iv) machine tools and manufacturing equipment, including, but not limited
to, computer- and mechanically-controlled lathes, drill presses, vertical or
horizontal milling machines, rotary or cylindrical grinders, metal
fabrication or slitting equipment, and other metal forming equipment used in
the production of a broad range of machinery and equipment;
(v) medical diagnostic and testing equipment, including, but not limited to,
(A) radiology equipment (such as CT Scanning, X-Ray, Fluoroscopic, Nuclear
Generators and Gamma Cameras), (B) sonographic equipment, (C) patient
monitoring equipment and (D) miscellaneous medical equipment (such as "Crash
Carts," lab test equipment, blood-gas analyzers, treatment room furniture);
(vi) aircraft (including air frames, engines and/or avionics, ground
handling equipment, passenger loading ramps), rail and over-the-road
transportation equipment (including boxcars, tank cars, hopper cars,
flatcars, locomotives and various other equipment used by railroads in the
maintenance of their railroad track, tractors, trailers, heavy duty trucks
and intermodal (rail to over-the-road) containers and chassis) and marine
vessels (including, but not limited to, towboats and barges); and
(vii) miscellaneous equipment of other types satisfying the investment
objectives of the Partnership and consistent with the remaining term of the
Partnership, including, but not limited to, (A) furniture and fixtures, (B)
store fixtures, display cases, freezers, etc., (C) manufacturing equipment
and (D) electronic test equipment.
Length of Ownership of Equipment. The General Partner intends that the
Partnership will hold and lease the Equipment it acquires until such time as
disposition appears advantageous in light of the Partnership's investment
objectives. In deciding whether to dispose of an item of Equipment, the
Partnership will consider the type and condition of such Equipment, potential
re-lease opportunities relating thereto, economic conditions, interest rates and
many other factors. While the General Partner presently intends that the
Partnership shall own and lease its Equipment for no more than five years
following the Final Closing Date, the Partnership may be required to retain
ownership of Equipment for a longer period in the event that the Sale thereof
appears disadvantageous in light of then prevailing economic conditions or
changes in applicable laws (including, without limitation, federal or state
income tax laws) and, accordingly, the Partnership is permitted to hold
Equipment for up to ten (10) years following the Final Closing Date.
Financing Transactions
The Partnership may also enter into Financing Transactions with Creditworthy
Users, including, without limitation, Financing Transactions pursuant to which
the Partnership shall provide financing to manufacturers and lessors with
respect to equipment leased directly by such manufacturers ("vendor leasing
programs"). Such Financing Transactions shall be evidenced by a written
promissory note of the Creditworthy User party thereto evidencing the
irrevocable obligation of such Creditworthy User to repay the principal amount
thereof, together with interest thereon, in accordance with the terms thereof,
which repayment obligation shall be sufficient to return the Partnership's full
cost associated with such Financing Transaction, together with some investment
income. Furthermore, such repayment obligation would be collateralized by a
security interest in such tangible or intangible personal property (including,
without limitation, the Equipment financed thereby and any Lease to which such
Equipment is subject, as well as the receivables arising thereunder) of such
Creditworthy User as the Credit Committee may deem to be appropriate. The
General Partner will use its best efforts to perfect such security interest so
that such security interest will constitute a first priority secured lien on
such Equipment, Lease and receivables affording certain preferred rights
(superior to any rights of all others who might seek to assert rights in or to
such Equipment, Lease or receivables) to the Partnership, upon a default by a
User. Financing Transactions will not include participation features for the
General Partner, its Affiliates or Users.
The General Partner believes that the ability of the Partnership to engage
in Financing Transactions will enable the Partnership to transact business with
certain additional desirable manufacturers, lessors and other users and to take
advantage of additional investment opportunities due to certain provisions of
certain states' tax and other laws which make it more favorable under state and
local tax and other laws to structure transactions in those jurisdictions as
Financing Transactions rather than Leases. By illustration, certain states or
localities impose sales or use taxes on the revenues from leases but not
financing transactions. Certain other jurisdictions impose franchise taxes based
on property owned and leased within such states but not on the collateral for
financing transactions. In addition, in Financing Transactions, the User will
realize additional federal and state tax benefits which will effect the total
amount which a User will be willing to pay to finance rather than lease
equipment which it needs. Financing Transactions with Creditworthy Users will be
negotiated on a case-by-case basis, subject to consideration of such factors as
the General Partner shall deem appropriate to the investment decision. See
"--Acquisition Policies and Procedures" in this section.
The General Partner estimates that approximately one-third of Net Offering
Proceeds will be invested in Financing Transactions as well as Leases or other
transactions which produce portfolio income although the General Partner may
determine to invest up to one-half of such Proceeds in such Investments if, in
its sole discretion, it believes such Investments to be in the best interests of
the Partnership. Over the life of the Partnership, the General Partner expects
that approximately one-third of its Investments, by cost, will consist of such
types of Investments.
<PAGE>
Other Investments
The Partnership may also, from time to time, invest in certain other types
of property, both real and personal, tangible and intangible, including, without
limitation, contract rights, lease rights, debt instruments and equity interests
in corporations, partnerships (both limited and general and including, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, Affiliated Entities), joint ventures and
other entities (including, but not limited to, common and preferred stock,
debentures, bonds and other securities of every kind and nature); provided that
the Partnership may make such Investments only in furtherance of its investment
objectives and in accordance with its investment policies. The General Partner
does not expect that such Investments will comprise a substantial portion of the
Partnership's Investments outstanding at any time.
Portfolio Acquisitions
The General Partner also intends that the Partnership acquire lease and/or
financing transaction portfolios (hereinafter "Portfolios"). Such Portfolio
acquisitions and financings are each expected to be in the range of $250,000 to
$10,000,000, but the Partnership is not limited as to the size of any such
acquisition (so long as such Portfolio otherwise satisfies the investment
objectives and policies of the Partnership and, in making such Investment, the
General Partner complies with all applicable provisions of the Partnership
Agreement).
The acquisition of any Portfolio shall be conditioned upon a thorough
financial and documentary review by the legal and accounting departments of the
General Partner in accordance with the following (which generally supplements
the credit review/documentation procedures set forth above):
(i) substantially all of the leases and financing transactions (by dollar
volume) contained in each Portfolio under consideration for acquisition is
reviewed for completeness and accuracy of documentation;
(ii) all potential Lessee and User payment histories are reviewed and
verified, without regard to any credit enhancements obtained in connection
with such acquisition;
(iii) underlying Equipment or other collateral is evaluated and the
values or purchase prices thereof evaluated or verified;
(iv) Dun & Bradstreet and/or TRW credit reports are obtained for a
representative number of potential Lessees and Users;
(v) a complete due diligence review is performed by internal legal and
auditing staff of the General Partner in preparation for documentation and
funding of the acquisition;
(vi) Uniform Commercial Code lien searches are performed against all
potential Lessees and Users, as well as against the current holder of such
Portfolio; and
(vii) all liens identified in connection with the above review (other than
with respect to Partnership Indebtedness are removed prior to or upon the
acquisition by the Partnership of such Portfolio (or the Partnership will
retain a right of post-acquisition rejection of individual Leases and
Financing Transactions included in, or a right to performance support by the
current holder of, such Portfolio). An escrow or purchase price holdback may
also be employed for the same purposes.
In connection with the acquisition of any Portfolio, the General Partner may
require that such acquisition be full recourse to the current holder of such
Portfolio in the event of any underlying Lessee or User default.
The General Partner may, for its own account, enter into agreements to act
as an independent equipment manager with respect to Portfolios owned by certain
non-Affiliated limited partners and other entities and the General Partner is
entitled to receive compensation for such services. The Partnership may, from
time to time, acquire a Joint Venture interest in all or a portion of such
Portfolios in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. See
"SUMMARY OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -- Restrictions on the Exercise of Powers by
the General Partner."
Reserves
The General Partner shall initially establish for the Partnership, and shall
use its best efforts to maintain, Reserves for working capital and contingent
liabilities, including repairs, replacements, contingencies, accruals required
by lenders for insurance, compensating balances required by lenders and other
appropriate items, in an amount not less than (i) during the Reinvestment
Period, 1.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds and (ii) during the Disposition Period,
the lesser of (A) 1% of the Partnership's aggregate Adjusted Capital Accounts
and (B) 1% of Gross Offering Proceeds, of which an amount not in excess of 3% of
Gross Offering Proceeds may be treated as having been invested or committed to
investment. Reserves, once expended, need not be restored, provided, however,
that any such Reserves that are restored in the sole and absolute discretion of
the General Partner shall be restored from Cash From Operations.
Use of Leverage
Leveraged Investments. The General Partner intends to use Partnership
indebtedness (or "leverage") as an essential tool in acquiring and building a
growing pool of Partnership Investments and related receivables. It expects
that, during the Partnership's early operating period, which shall commence on
the Initial Closing Date, the Partnership will acquire a substantial proportion
of its Investments entirely for cash and the balance of its Investments
(particularly Leases with investment-grade Lessees) with a mixture of cash and
existing or new (primarily "non-recourse") indebtedness (as to which the lender
will generally have no recourse to assets of the Partnership other than to
foreclose on the Partnership's interest in such Lease and dispose of the related
Equipment). As the Partnership accumulates Lease and Financing Transaction
receivables from its cash purchases which are sufficiently large in volume and
diverse as to Lessee/User industry types, equipment types and geographic
locations as to be financed at commercially attractive interest rates, then the
General Partner will seek to borrow against the "pool" of such receivables from
banks and other interested, unaffiliated lenders at interest rates which can be
serviced with only a portion of such receivables. If such efforts are
successful, substantial cash flows from such pool of Investment receivables will
become available for use in Partnership operations, for Limited Partner
distributions and for reinvestment in additional Investments and to build an
ever larger base of Partnership Investments, revenues and residual values.
Such "pooled" collateral loans may take the form of a revolving line of
credit or one of a series of "securitizations" for which the lender will have
recourse to the entire "pool" (but only that pool) of receivables to service
such indebtedness. In addition, in securitizations, additional steps will be
taken to create and maintain an intermediate trust, partnership or other
"pass-through" structure which is intended to ensure that the receivables are
collectible by the lender under all circumstances. As a result of such types of
borrowings (if available to the Partnership, as the General Partner believes
will be the case), the General Partner expects that the Partnership will be able
to achieve substantial additional earnings for the Partnership represented by
the difference between the rate at which earnings accrue on its Leases and
Financing Transactions which are subject to such financings and the
significantly lower interest and other costs to the Partnership of such
borrowings.
The General Partner believes that the use of leverage may (i) enhance the
ability of the Partnership to acquire Investments of greater aggregate cost,
(ii) create the opportunity for the Partnership to obtain a greater return on,
and diversification of, its portfolio of Investments and (iii) reduce the
relative cost of obtaining Partnership capital and acquiring its Investments as
a percentage of its total Partnership Investments. Nevertheless, the use of
borrowings could create additional risks for the Partnership and ultimately
reduce distributions to the Partners. See "RISK FACTORS -- Partnership and
Investment Risks -- Leveraged Investment--Increased Risk of Loss."
The Partnership intends to use borrowings (i) to finance Investments to the
extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner, (ii) to obtain
Commission Loans and (iii) to invest the proceeds thereof in additional
Investments and, to the extent permitted, add to Reserves; provided that, from
and after the date when all Capital Contributions have been invested or
committed to investment in Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross
Offering Proceeds), used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the
Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
shall not incur or assume additional Indebtedness in connection with the
acquisition of any Investment to the extent that the sum of the principal amount
of such additional Indebtedness plus the aggregate principal amount of all
Indebtedness then outstanding would exceed 80% of the aggregate Purchase Price
paid by the Partnership for Investments then held by the Partnership (inclusive
of the Purchase Price of any Investment after being acquired). Although the
actual amount of Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership and the terms thereof
shall depend upon the availability of financing, interest rates and other costs
to the Partnership, and the General Partner's determination that the amount
borrowed is desirable in light of the Partnership's investment objectives and
policies, the General Partner expects that, on average, at least 50% of the
Partnership's aggregate cost of its Investments will have been supplied by
Partnership borrowings and existing Indebtedness.
In the exercise of its investment discretion, the General Partner will
attempt to utilize the optimum amounts of all-cash and leveraged investments to
maximize the overall investment return to the Limited Partners from the
Partnership's portfolio of Investments. In employing Indebtedness, the General
Partner will also seek to balance the Gross Revenues after appropriate
adjustments for contingencies against the needs of the Partnership (i) to meet
current and contingent expenses and establish or replenish Reserves, (ii) to
make cash distributions to Partners, (iii) to pay debt service on any
Indebtedness incurred to acquire its current assets and (iv) to permit expansion
of the Partnership's portfolio of Investments to increase future Cash From
Operations and Cash From Sales. Generally speaking, the "mix" of the
Partnership's Investments will include (x) fully "leveraged" Leases (all or
substantially all of the rental revenues of which are expected to be assigned to
a lender to pay debt service), (y) partially leveraged Investments and (z)
"unleveraged" Investments, the gross revenues from which, along with excess cash
flow from the partially leveraged Investments, would be available to the
Partnership to be applied to discharge its operational and investment cash
needs. Since the Partnership's "leveraged" Leases are expected to include a
significant proportion of non-recourse (fully assigned) financings, it is the
General Partner's objective to ensure that the gross revenues from its other
partially and fully "unleveraged" Investments together with Reserves and other
uninvested funds are sufficient at all times to meet the cash needs of the
Partnership including contingencies such as Lessee or User defaults.
If borrowings are utilized, the General Partner will use its best efforts to
obtain financing on the most favorable terms available to the Partnership. All
or a portion of such financing may provide for adjustable interest rates which,
in periods of rising interest rates, could cause borrowing costs to increase
without the ability of the Partnership to pass along to the Lessees and Users of
the related Leases and Financing Transactions all (or perhaps any) of such
increased costs, thereby reducing Distributable Cash From Operations.
Commission Loans. The Partnership intends to seek to obtain a Commission
Loan as of each Closing Date in an amount equal to the Sales Commissions payable
on such Closing Date for the purpose of increasing the total amount of Gross
Offering Proceeds immediately available for Investments. As a result, the
General Partner expects that by obtaining Commission Loans the Partnership will
(i) increase its total revenue-generating Investments over the life of the
Partnership and the amount of Distributable Cash From Sales upon liquidation of
the Partnership's Investments and (ii) produce Cash From Operations available
for distribution to the Limited Partners in excess of the sum of (A) principal
and interest payments on the Commission Loans and (B) all related Front-End
Fees. Generally speaking, the Partnership expects that, as of each Closing Date,
it will be able to obtain a short-term Commission Loan at rates of interest
approximating the most favorable short-term business borrowing rates (or the
"prime rate") applicable to loans of such length on such Closing Date; provided,
however, that (x) no Commission Loan shall have a term in excess of two years
from the date of such Commission Loan and (y) the Partnership shall not incur
any Commission Loan unless the Partnership realizes excess Cash From Operations
(as described in clause (ii) above) as a result thereof. Since the Partnership's
total payments of principal of, and interest on, any such Commission Loans would
exceed the corresponding amounts of Commissions paid therewith by the amount of
interest paid on any such Loans, the General Partner expects to utilize
Commission Loans only when, it has determined that an opportunity exists to use
such borrowings to obtain Investments which have contractual payments at least
equal to the total payments of principal of, and interest on, the corresponding
Commission Loans.
Usury Laws. Equipment leases have on occasion been held by the courts to be
loan transactions subject to state usury laws. In addition, the Partnership
expects that all Financing Transactions will be subject to state usury laws.
Severe penalties, including loss of interest and treble damages, may be imposed
in connection with a violation of such usury laws. Although the Partnership will
seek to structure its Leases and Financing Transactions in such a manner as to
avoid application of the usury laws of any state or other jurisdiction in which
it conducts its operations, a court could construe a transaction which the
Partnership believes to be exempt from, or in compliance with, applicable usury
laws to be a loan in violation of such usury laws and there can be no assurance
that some of the amounts which the Partnership receives on its Investments may
not be characterized as interest charges and fees which are held to be usurious.
Cash Distributions to Partners
Monthly Cash Distributions. Section 8.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement
provides that each Limited Partner is entitled to receive monthly cash
distributions computed as provided in this paragraph. Such distributions will be
made for the period which begins with his or her admission to the Partnership
and ending with the expiration or termination of the Reinvestment Period (the
period of active investment and reinvestment by the Partnership which will end
five (5) years after the Partnership's Final Closing Date (or no later than
November 9, 2002) unless the General Partner elects to extend such Period (in
which case such Period will end no more than eight (8) years after the Final
Closing Date or no later than November 9, 2005) to the extent that Distributable
Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales are sufficient for such
purpose. The annual amount of such distributions will be computed by multiplying
10.75% by such Limited Partner's original Capital Contribution reduced by any
portion thereof which has been (A) returned to such Limited Partner pursuant to
Section 8.6, or (B) redeemed by the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.5, of
this Agreement. A ratable portion (i.e., one-twelfth) of such annual
distribution amount shall be payable monthly. Such distributions, if made, will
reduce the amount of money that may be reinvested by the Partnership. Since
Distributable Cash From Operations or From Sales represents all cash from
operations or from sales, as the case may be, less Partnership expenses (the
timing and amounts of which are expected to be largely non-disretionary) and
moneys which the General Partner determines in its discretion to (i) set aside
as Reserves (which must be maintained at a minimum of 1% of Gross Offering
Proceeds) and (ii) reinvest in additional Partnership Investments, decisions by
the General Partner to establish additional Reserves or to make Investments, or
both, might effect the ability of the Partnership to make such distributions. As
noted in this Section in the "--Reinvestment of Undistributed Cash in Additional
Equipment, Leases, and Financing Transactions" Subsection, the Partnership's
ability to make cash distributions to its Limited Partners may be subject to
certain restrictions imposed upon the Partnership by its banks or other lenders.
Such cash distributions will be noncumulative; meaning that, if
Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales are
insufficient in any calendar month to pay the full amount of such distributions,
only the actual amount thereof is required to be distributed. Such cash
distributions will also computed on a non-compounded basis; meaning that the
principal amount upon which such cash distributions is computed will not be
increased as the result of the inability of the Partnership to distribute any
monthly portion of such annual amounts, or reduced by any of such distributions
actually made, in any prior period. It is expected that a substantial portion of
all of such cash distributions (e.g. the portion thereof which exceeds taxable
income for GAAP purposes) will be treated as a return of Limited Partners'
originally invested capital) and that the balance of such distributions will be
treated as a return thereon (e.g. the portion thereof which equals taxable
income for GAAP purposes).
Section 8.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement also provides that each Limited
Partner is entitled to receive monthly cash distributions (if the distributions
described above are not adequate) in amounts which would permit the Limited
Partners to pay federal, state and local income taxes resulting from Partnership
Operations (assuming that all Limited Partners are subject to income taxation at
a 31% cumulative tax rate on taxable distributions for GAAP purposes). Such
distributions will be made to the extent that Distributable Cash From Operations
and Distributable Cash From Sales are sufficient for such purpose.
While it is the Partnership's objective to make all such monthly cash
distributions, no prediction can be made as to what level of distributions or
return on investment, if any, will be achieved.
It is anticipated that distributions of Cash From Operations and Cash From
Sales, if available, will be made monthly (approximately 15 days after the end
of each month), commencing in the first full month following the Initial Closing
Date. The monthly distribution of Cash From Operations and Cash From Sales is
subject to the availability of funds and, accordingly, there can be no assurance
that any such anticipated monthly distributions will be made or that any or all
of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners will be returned out of
Cash From Operations and/or Cash From Sales.
First Cash Distributions to the Limited Partners. Section 6.4(g) of the
Partnership Agreement (Exhibit A) provides that unless each Limited Partner has
received distributions equal to 8.0% as a percentage of such Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution (as reduced by any amounts of uninvested capital returned
to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement and
by any amount paid to such Limited Partner in redemption of such Limited
Partner's Units) (the "First Cash Distributions"), the Management Fees otherwise
payable on a monthly basis to the General Partner in its capacity as Manager
shall be deferred and shall be paid without interest upon the earlier to occur
of (i) receipt by the Limited Partners of all current and accrued but unpaid
First Cash Distributions or (ii) expiration of the Reinvestment Period.
In addition, Section 8.1 of the Partnership Agreement provides that upon
Payout (see Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement for a definition of such
term) of Limited Partners' Capital Contributions and an economic return thereon,
the General Partner is entitled to an increase from 1% to 10% of Cash From
Operations and Cash From Sales when cash distributions to the limited Partners
upon Payout (i.e. the time when cash distributions in an amount equal to the sum
of the Limited Partners' (i) capital contributions and (ii) an 8.0% cumulative
annual return thereon, compounded daily, have been made), distributions of
Distributable Cash From Sales shall be made 99% to the Limited Partners and 1%
to the General Partner and that, after Payout, distributions of Distributable
Cash From Sales shall be tentatively attributed 90% to the Limited Partners and
10% to the General Partner. Section 8.1 goes on to provide that, distributions
shall continue to be made 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner until the earlier of (i) the time when the total cash distributions made
to each Limited Partner equal 150% of his or her original Capital Contribution
(reduced by any amounts paid to him or her (A) as a return of uninvested Capital
Contributions and (B) in redemption of Units pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement) or (ii) upon liquidation of the Partnership. The increased share of
Distributable Cash From Operations tentatively attributed to the General Partner
but not actually distributed to it because of the proviso in the preceding
sentence shall accrue, without interest, and be paid to the General Partner out
of the first Distributable Cash From Operations available to the Partnership
after the earlier of (i) the time when the total cash distributions made to each
Limited Partner equal 150% of his or her original Capital Contribution (reduced
by any amounts paid to him or her (A) as a return of uninvested Capital
Contributions and (B) in redemption of Units pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement) or (ii) upon liquidation of the Partnership.
It is the objective of the Partnership to make the First Cash Distributions
regardless of the number of Units sold, subject only to the limitations
described in "--Monthly Cash Distributions." A portion of such distributions may
represent a return of Capital Contributions recovered in the form of
depreciation deductions on the Equipment and the balance of such distributions
may represent investment income on such Capital Contribution in the form of a
Limited Partner's proportionate share of net taxable income of the Partnership
for such taxable year. Because neither the Partnership nor the General Partner
or any of its Affiliates had acquired any Equipment, Leases or Financing
Transactions as of the date of this Prospectus, it is not possible to predict
what proportion of such distributions may consist, from month-to-month during
the Reinvestment Period, of a return of, or investment income on, capital. See
Tables III and IV of Exhibit B hereto for Prior Performance of the Prior Public
Programs which contain past performance information with regard to cash
distributions made for such Programs (which information is not necessarily
indicative of either such Programs' or the Partnership's future performance as
to the amount, if any, of such future distributions or the relative composition
thereof from year to year.)
Each cash distribution may consist, in whole or in part, of (1) an
investor's pro rata share of the partnership's net income generated from
operations, after deduction or amortization of non-cash expenses (such as
depreciation and initial direct costs) and cash expenses (such as interest on
indebtedness), (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles
("gaap")) and/or (2) a return of investors' original capital investment (on a
GAAP basis).
A material portion of each cash distribution may consist of a distribution
of an investor's original capital investment which, under GAAP, is deemed to be
that portion of cash distributions which are not attributable to partnership net
income for the period of the distribution, irrespective of whether such
distributions have in fact been paid from cash from current or past operations.
Accordingly, cash distributions received by a limited partner may not, in all
instances, be characterized solely or primarily as investment income earned on
such limited partner's investment in the partnership. The partnership
anticipates that it will receive gross revenues (e.g., rent or debt payments)
from all of its financing transactions and the majority of its leases over the
respective terms of each such investment in an amount equal to the sum of (1)
the purchase price of such financing transactions and the equipment subject to
such leases plus (2) investment income earned on such investments. Additionally,
the partnership expects that the proceeds from sale or other disposition of the
partnership's equipment (which is expected to occur at the end of each
respective lease of such equipment) will be significantly less than the
partnership's original purchase price of such equipment in large part because
the partnership's equipment is expected to rapidly decline in value (i.E.,
Generally be fully depreciated over a three to five year period). Accordingly,
the success of the partnership in realizing both a return of capital and
investment income on its investments in its equipment will depend heavily on:
(1) its ability to (a) generate significant operating cash flow from its
equipment during the terms of the leases of such equipment and (b) reinvest a
substantial portion of its net cash flows (after distributions to investors) and
equipment sale proceeds in additional equipment during the reinvestment period
and (2) the residual value which it realizes from its entire equipment portfolio
during and after the reinvestment period (which is expected to end within five
to eight years after the Partnership's Final Closing Date). See "RISK
FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Residual Value of Equipment" and the
"General--Investment Objectives" and "--Acquisition Policies and Procedures"
subsections in this Section. There can be no assurance that investors will
receive the return of their entire original capital investment in the
partnership or any investment income on such investment.
There can be no assurance that the partnership will be successful in meeting
any of its objectives, or that such objectives will be attained at all.
Distribution of Cash From Sales of the Partnership's Investments. After the
Reinvestment Period, it is an objective of the Partnership to sell or otherwise
dispose of its Equipment and liquidate all its investments in Financing
Transactions and to distribute substantially all the proceeds therefrom
("Distributable Cash From Sales") together with Reserves and other Cash From
Operations and Cash From Sales not previously distributed to its Partners, less
the estimated costs and expenses and projected disbursements and reserves
required for prompt and orderly termination of the Partnership and the payment
of deferred Management Fees and Subordinated Remarketing Fees, which in each
case have accrued but not been paid (if any). In the event the Reinvestment
Period ends before the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing Date, the
Partnership expects to distribute a greater portion of Cash From Sales rather
than reinvesting substantially all such funds in additional Investments. During
the liquidation phase of the Partnership, it is expected that distributions will
ultimately decrease relative to the annual cash distribution objectives for the
Reinvestment Period, because as Investments are liquidated there will be less
Equipment and Financing Transactions available to generate Cash From Operations.
See "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Residual Value of
Equipment." Distributions made after the Reinvestment Period will depend upon
results of operations, Cash From Sales of the Partnership's Investments, and the
amount of Cash From Operations (if any) which the Partnership derives from the
operation of its remaining Investments (if any) during such period.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be successful in meeting
its objectives with regard to Monthly Cash Distributions, First Cash
Distributions or Distributions of Cash From Sales within the time periods
contemplated, or that such objectives will be met at all. See "RISK
FACTORS--Partnership and Investment Risks--Residual Value of Equipment." While
it is the Partnership's objective to make monthly cash distributions, no
prediction can be made as to what level of distributions or return on
investment, if any, will be achieved.
The Partnership expects that the principal investment return from an
investment in Units will derive from such cash distributions rather than from
tax benefits. The Partnership is not intended to be a "tax shelter." However,
the Partnership will register as a "tax shelter" with the Service for the
reasons discussed in "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Registration, Interest
and Penalties -- Tax Shelter Registration."
Reinvestment of Undistributed Cash in Additional Equipment, Leases, and
Financing Transactions
During the Reinvestment Period, the Partnership intends to reinvest
substantially all undistributed (1) Cash From Operations and (2) Cash From Sales
as well as (3) proceeds of non-recourse and recourse financing of the streams of
rents from its Leases which are not needed to pay current obligations in
additional Equipment, Leases and Financing Transactions. To the extent the
Partnership reinvests Cash From Operations or Cash From Sales in additional or
replacement Investments, the Partnership intends to make sufficient cash
distributions to the Limited Partners during the Reinvestment Period to enable
them to pay when due their respective federal income taxes on such Cash From
Operations and Cash From Sales (assuming each Limited Partner is in the highest
marginal federal income tax bracket, determined without regard to surtaxes, if
any). The Partnership's ability to make cash distributions to its Limited
Partners may be subject to certain restrictions imposed upon the Partnership by
its banks or other lenders.
The Cash From Sales realized by the Partnership from the sale or other
disposition of an item of Equipment (including indemnity and insurance payments
arising from the loss or destruction of the Equipment), after the payment of, or
provision for, all related Partnership liabilities, may be reinvested at the
sole discretion of the General Partner, during the Reinvestment Period.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Summary
THIS SECTION ADDRESSES THE MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN
INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS
ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS, SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL NOT BE THE
SAME FOR ALL INVESTORS AND ONLY BY A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF A PROSPECTIVE
INVESTOR'S PARTICULAR TAX SITUATION CAN AN INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP BE
EVALUATED PROPERLY. IN PARTICULAR, INVESTORS WHICH ARE TRUSTS, CORPORATIONS,
TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS (SUCH AS EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS), OR ANY OTHER
INVESTORS WHICH ARE NOT DOMESTIC INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP ARE LIKELY TO DIFFER,
PERHAPS MATERIALLY, FROM THE PRINCIPAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OUTLINED IN THIS
SECTION. SEE "-- FOREIGN INVESTORS," "-- TAX TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TRUSTS AND
ESTATES," "-- TAXATION OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND OTHER TAX-EXEMPT
ORGANIZATIONS" AND "-- CORPORATE INVESTORS." STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
MAY ALSO DIFFER FROM THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED BELOW. SEE
"-- STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION."
For federal income tax purposes, a partnership is treated as a "pass
through" entity as to which the partners, and not the partnership, pay tax on
partnership income and deduct losses incurred by the partnership. The Limited
Partners will report on their federal income tax returns their share of the
income, gain, loss and deduction incurred by the Partnership and pay the tax on
their share of any resulting taxable income generated by the Partnership. The
most substantial tax risk to the Limited Partners is that the Partnership will
not be treated as a partnership or will be treated as a "publicly traded
partnership." In either event, the Partnership would have to pay tax on
Partnership income and the Limited Partners may be subject to a further tax on
distributions from the Partnership. Tax Counsel are of the opinion that the
Partnership will be treated as a partnership and will not be treated as a
"publicly-traded partnership."
The General Partner expects that the items of income and loss generated by
the Partnership will be treated as either "passive" or "portfolio" income and
losses for federal income tax purposes. Limited Partners will not be able to use
any "passive" losses produced by the Partnership to offset either "ordinary
income" (such as salaries and fees) or "portfolio" income (such as dividend or
interest income).
The overwhelming majority of the Partnership's income is expected to be
generated from leasing activities. The General Partner expects its leases to be
treated as such for federal income tax purposes and will attempt to have its
leasing activities comply with any requirements necessary to achieve such
treatment. If the Service were successfully to challenge such tax treatment, the
amount and timing of taxable income or loss to the Limited Partners may be
adversely affected.
Opinion of Tax Counsel
The Partnership has obtained an opinion from Whitman Breed Abbott & Morgan,
Tax Counsel to the General Partner, concerning the Partnership's classification
as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. See "-- Classification as a
Partnership." The opinion states further that the summaries of federal income
tax consequences to individual holders of Units and to certain tax-exempt
entities, including qualified plans, set forth in this Prospectus under the
headings "RISK FACTORS--Federal Income Tax Risks" and "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES" and "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS" have been reviewed by Tax
Counsel and that, to the extent such summaries contain statements or conclusions
of law, Tax Counsel are of the opinion that such statements or conclusions are
correct under the Internal Revenue Code, as presently in effect, and applicable
current and proposed Treasury Regulations, current published administrative
positions of the Service contained in Revenue Rulings and Revenue Procedures and
judicial decisions.
The opinion of Tax Counsel is based upon facts described in this Prospectus
and upon facts that have been represented by the General Partner to Tax Counsel.
Any alteration of such facts may adversely affect the opinion rendered.
Furthermore, as noted above, the opinion of Tax Counsel is based upon existing
law, which is subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively.
Each prospective investor should note that the tax opinion represents only
Tax Counsel's best legal judgment and has no binding effect or official status
of any kind. There can be no assurance that the Service will not challenge the
conclusions set forth in Tax Counsel's opinion.
As of the date of the opinion of Tax Counsel, no Equipment has been
acquired by the Partnership. Therefore, it is impossible at this time to opine
on the application of the tax law to the specific facts which will exist when a
particular item of Equipment is acquired and placed under lease. The issues on
which Tax Counsel have declined to express an opinion, and the likely adverse
federal income tax consequences resulting from an unfavorable resolution of any
of those issues, are set forth below in the following subsections of this
Section: "-- Allocations of Profits and Losses," "-- Tax Treatment of the
Leases," "-- Cost Recovery," and "-- Limitations on Cost Recovery Deductions."
Classification as a Partnership
The Partnership has not applied, and does not intend to apply, for a ruling
from the Service that it will be classified as a partnership and will not be
treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes.
The Partnership has received an opinion of Tax Counsel that, under current
federal income tax laws, case law and administrative regulations and published
rulings, the Partnership will be classified as a partnership and not as an
association taxable as a corporation. Unlike a tax ruling, however, an opinion
of Tax Counsel has no binding effect on the Service or official status of any
kind, and no assurance can be given that the conclusions reached in the opinion
would be sustained by a court if contested by the Service. In the absence of a
tax ruling, there can be no assurance that the Service will not attempt to treat
the Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation.
The opinion of Tax Counsel is based, in part, on representations of the
General Partner to the effect that: (1) the Partnership has been organized and
will be operated in substantial compliance with applicable state statutes
concerning limited partnerships, (2) the General Partner has and will maintain
throughout the life of the Partnership a net worth (not including its interests
in the Partnership or in other partnerships in which it is a general partner) at
all times equal to at least $1,000,000, (3) the Partnership's activities will be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement; (4)
the interest of the General Partner in each material item of Partnership income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit is equal to at least one percent of each such
item, except for temporary allocations, if any, required under Section 704(b) or
(c) of the Code; and (5) neither the General Partner nor any person or group of
persons who has a direct or indirect interest in the General Partner (by reason
of direct or indirect stock ownership, a creditor-debtor relationship or an
employer-employee relationship, or otherwise) will at any time own, individually
or in the aggregate, more than one percent of the Units in the Partnership.
For purposes of issuing advance rulings as to the tax status of a limited
partnership that has a corporation as its sole general partner, the Service has
set forth certain guidelines, including a net worth requirement for the general
partner. The General Partner currently does not satisfy the Service's net worth
requirement for an advance ruling. Accordingly, the Partnership would be unable
to obtain an advance ruling that it will be classified as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. The Partnership's inability to satisfy the
Service's advance ruling guidelines does not affect Tax Counsel's opinion as to
the classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes.
If the Partnership is or at any time hereafter becomes taxable as a
corporation, it would be subject to federal income tax at the tax rates and
under the rules applicable to corporations generally. The major consequences of
being treated as a corporation would be that Partnership losses would not be
passed through to the Partners, and Partnership income could be subject to
double tax. Corporations are required to pay federal income taxes on their
taxable income and corporate distributions are taxable to investors at ordinary
income tax rates to the extent of the corporation's earnings and profits and are
not deductible by the corporation in computing its taxable income. If the
Partnership at any time is taxable as a corporation, and particularly should
that occur retroactively, the effects of corporate taxation could have a
substantial adverse effect on the after-tax investment return of investors.
Furthermore, a change in the tax status of the Partnership from a partnership to
an association taxable as a corporation would be treated by the Service as
involving an exchange. Such an exchange may give rise to tax liabilities for the
Limited Partners under certain circumstances (e.g., if the Partnership's debt
exceeds the tax basis of the Partnership's assets at the time of such exchange)
even though they might not receive cash distributions from the Partnership to
cover such tax liabilities.
Publicly Traded Partnerships
Certain limited partnerships may be classified as publicly traded
partnerships ("PTPs"). If a partnership is classified as a PTP (either at
inception or as a result of subsequent events) and derives less than 90% of its
gross income from qualified sources (such as interest and dividends, rents from
real property and gains from the sale of real property) it will be taxed as a
corporation. A PTP is defined as any partnership in which interests are traded
on an established securities market or are readily tradeable on a secondary
market or the substantial equivalent of such market. Units in the Partnership
are not currently traded on an established securities market (and the General
Partner does not intend to list the Units on any such market). Units are also
not readily tradeable on a secondary market nor are they expected to be in the
future. Therefore, the Partnership will be a PTP only if the Units become
"readily tradeable on the substantial equivalent of a secondary market."
Limited partnership interests may be "readily tradeable" if they are
regularly quoted by persons who are making a market in the interests or if
prospective buyers and sellers of the interests have a readily available,
regular and ongoing opportunity to buy, sell or exchange interests in a market
that is publicly available, in a time frame which would be provided by a market
maker, and in a manner which is comparable, economically, to trading on an
established securities market. Limited partnership interests are not "readily
tradeable" merely because a general partner provides information to partners
regarding partners' desires to buy or sell interests to each other or if it
arranges occasional transfers between partners.
The Service has provided certain safe harbor tests relating to PTP status
in Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-75. If the trading of interests in a
partnership falls into one of the safe harbor tests, then interests in the
partnership will not be considered to be traded on a substantial equivalent of a
secondary market and the partnership will not be treated as a PTP. Safe harbor
tests include the "5% safe harbor" test and the "2% safe harbor" test. A
partnership satisfies the "5% safe harbor" test if the partnership interests
that are sold or otherwise disposed of during the taxable year do not exceed 5%
of the total interests in partnership capital or profits. Certain transfers
("Excluded Transfers") are excluded from the 5% "safe harbor" test, including
transfers at death, transfers between certain family members and block transfers
(i.e., transfers by a single partner within a 30-day period of interests
representing in the aggregate more than 5% of the total interests in partnership
capital or profits). In the case of the "2% safe harbor" test, annual transfers
of interests may not exceed 2% of the total partnership capital or profits. In
addition to Excluded Transfers, for the "2% safe harbor" test, transfers
pursuant to a "matching service" are not counted. "Matching service" transfers
include (1) a notice to potential buyers of the availability of partnership
interests if the sale of such interest is delayed at least 15 days after the
date the matching service is advised of such availability (the "contact date");
(2) closing of a sale does not occur prior to 45 days after the contact date;
(3) information relating to interests for sale is removed from the matching
service within 120 days after the contact date; (4) once removed, an investor's
interest is not re-entered into the matching service for at least 60 days; and
(5) the total partnership interests sold or disposed of (other than Excluded
Transfers) during the taxable year do not exceed 10% of the total interests in
partnership capital and profits. A failure to satisfy one of the specified safe
harbor tests does not give rise to a presumption that interests are readily
tradeable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.
On May 2, 1995, the Service issued proposed regulations relating to the
definition of a PTP which would (1) modify the safe harbor tests relating to PTP
status which are contained in Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-75 and (2)
provide other guidance on the circumstances under which interests in a
partnership will be treated as publicly traded. Until the proposed regulations
are finalized, the safe harbor rules, as contained in Notice 88-75 and as
discussed herein, will remain in effect.
In lieu of the 5 percent and 2 percent safe harbors contained in Notice
88-75, the proposed regulations would provide a more limited de minimis trading
exclusion. The proposed regulations provide that interests in a partnership are
not readily tradable on the substantial equivalent of a secondary market if the
sum of the percentage interests in partnership capital or profits transferred
during the taxable year of the partnership does not exceed 2 percent of the
total interests in partnership capital or profits. All transfers of partnership
interests are taken into account except for (1) private transfers (e.g.
transfers at death and transfers between family members), (2) transfers pursuant
to qualifying redemption and purchase agreements and (3) transfers pursuant to a
qualified matching service. The qualified matching service exclusion contained
in the proposed regulations are similar to the matching service exclusion
described above (and set forth in Notice 88-75) but contain certain
modifications designed to prevent a qualified matching service from operating as
the substantial equivalent of a secondary market. Finally, the 2% rule contained
in the proposed regulations differs from the percentage safe harbors in Notice
88-75 because the 2% rule applies only for purposes of determining whether
partnership interests are readily tradable on the substantial equivalent of a
secondary market and does not apply in determining whether interests are readily
tradable on a secondary market. Thus, the 2% rule does not apply to partnerships
with interests traded under a mechanism that provides for firm-quotes trading.
In the opinion of Tax Counsel, the Partnership will not be treated as a
PTP. For the purpose of this opinion, Tax Counsel has received a representation
from the General Partner that the Units will not be listed on a securities
exchange or NASDAQ and that, acting in accordance with Section 10.2(c) of the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will refuse to permit any assignment
of Units which violates the "safe harbor" tests described above. See "TRANSFER
OF UNITS--Restrictions on the Transfer of Units."
If the Partnership were classified as a PTP it would be treated for federal
income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation unless 90% or
more of its income were to come from certain "qualified sources." The business
of the Partnership will be the leasing and financing of personal (not real)
property. Thus, its income would not be from such qualified sources. The major
consequences of being treated as a corporation would be that Partnership losses
would not be passed through to the Partners, and Partnership income could be
subject to double tax. Corporations are required to pay federal income taxes on
their taxable income and corporate distributions are taxable to investors at
ordinary income tax rates to the extent of the corporation's earnings and
profits and are not deductible by the corporation in computing its taxable
income. If the Partnership at any time is taxable as a corporation, and
particularly should that occur retroactively, the effects of corporate taxation
could have a substantial adverse effect on the after-tax investment return of
investors. Furthermore, a change in the tax status of the Partnership from a
partnership to an association taxable as a corporation would be treated by the
Service as involving an exchange. Such an exchange may give rise to tax
liabilities for the Limited Partners under certain circumstances (e.g., if the
Partnership's debt exceeds the tax basis of the Partnership's assets at the time
of such exchange) even though they might not receive cash distributions from the
Partnership to cover such tax liabilities. See "-- Classification as a
Partnership" and "-- Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Interest" in this
Section.
Taxation of Distributions
If the Partnership is classified as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, it will not be subject to federal income tax. Each Partner will be
required to report on his federal income tax return his share of the income,
gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership for each year.
The Partnership will report its operations on an accrual basis for federal
income tax purposes using a December 31 fiscal year and will file an annual
partnership information return with the Service. Each Limited Partner will be
furnished with all information with respect to the Partnership necessary for
preparation of his federal income tax return within 75 days after each fiscal
year end.
Cash distributions to a Limited Partner in any year may be greater or less
than his share of the Partnership's taxable income for such year. Distributions
in excess of income will not be taxable to the Limited Partner but will first
reduce the tax basis for his Units (as increased or decreased by such Limited
Partner's allocable share of Partnership income or loss for the year in which
such distributions occur) to the extent thereof. Any cash distributions in
excess of his basis will then be taxable to such Limited Partner, generally as
capital gains, provided the Units are capital assets in the hands of the Limited
Partner.
To the extent that the principal amount of the Partnership's indebtedness
is repaid from cash derived from rentals or sales of the Partnership's
Equipment, the taxable income of a Limited Partner in the Partnership may exceed
the related cash distributions for such year. Depreciation or other cost
recovery with respect to Equipment may create a deferral of tax liability in
that larger cost recovery deductions in the early years may reduce or eliminate
the Partnership's taxable income in those early years of the Partnership's
operations. However, this deferral is offset in later years by smaller or no
depreciation or cost recovery deductions, while an increasingly larger portion
of the Partnership's income must be applied to reduce debt principal (thereby,
possibly generating taxable income in excess of cash distributions in those
years).
Miscellaneous itemized deductions of an individual taxpayer, which include
investment expenses (such as organizational expenses; see "-- Deductions for
Organizational and Offering Expenses; Start-Up Costs"), are deductible only to
the extent they exceed 2% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Temporary
Regulations prohibit the indirect deduction through partnerships and other
pass-through entities of an amount that would not be deductible if paid by the
individual. Thus, these limitations may apply to certain of the Partnership's
expenses under certain circumstances.
Partnership Income Versus Partnership Distributions
The income reported each year by the Partnership to the Limited Partners
will not be equivalent to the cash distributions made by the Partnership to the
Limited Partners. The difference in the two amounts primarily arise from the
fact that depreciation and other cost recovery deductions reduce the
Partnership's income but not its cash available for distribution, and revenues
reinvested by the Partnership or used to repay debt principal will generally
constitute income even though not distributed to the Limited Partners. See "--
Taxation of Distributions" and "-- Cost Recovery."
Allocations of Profits and Losses
As a general rule, during the Reinvestment Period, 99% of the Partnership's
Profits (including, inter alia, taxable income and gains and items thereof, and
items of revenue exempt from tax) will be allocated among the Limited Partners
in proportion to their respective numbers of Units and 1% will be allocated to
the General Partner, until the later of such time as (1) each Limited Partner's
Adjusted Capital Contribution (i.e., such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution
reduced by distributions from the Partnership that are in excess of such Limited
Partner's 8% Cumulative Return) is reduced to zero and (2) each Limited Partner
has been allocated Profits equal to the sum of (i) such Limited Partner's
aggregate 8% Cumulative Return plus (ii) any Partnership Losses previously
allocated to such Limited Partner. Thereafter the Partnership's Profits will be
allocated after 90% among the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective
numbers of Units and 10% to the General Partner. During the Disposition Period,
the Partnership's Profits first will be allocated to all Partners in the amount
necessary to eliminate any deficits in their capital accounts, and, thereafter,
will be allocated as described above.
As a general rule, 99% of the Partnership's Losses (including, inter alia,
tax losses and deductions and items thereof, and items of expense that are not
deductible for federal income tax purposes) will be allocated among the Limited
Partners in proportion to their respective numbers of Units and 1% will be
allocated to the General Partner throughout the term of the Partnership .
A partner's share of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit
is determined by the partnership agreement, unless the allocation set forth
therein does not have "substantial economic effect." If an allocation made by a
partnership does not have substantial economic effect, the partner's share of
any such item will be determined in accordance with the partner's "interest in
the Partnership," taking into account all the facts and circumstances.
An allocation of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit
provided for in a partnership agreement will generally be upheld if: (a) the
allocation has "substantial economic effect," or (b) the partners can show that,
taking into account all facts and circumstances, the allocation is "in
accordance with the partner's interest in the partnership" or (c) the allocation
is "deemed" to be in accordance with the partner's interest in the partnership
under special rules requiring that partners receiving allocations of losses and
deductions which the partnership was able to generate as a result of, inter
alia, purchasing assets with borrowed money, be "charged back" income and gain
to the extent that such income and gain is generated by the assets that
generated such losses and deductions ("minimum gain charge-back").
The determination of substantial economic effect is to be made at the end
of each of the partnership's taxable years. In general, the regulations provide
that in order for an allocation to have "economic effect," among other things:
(a) the allocation must be appropriately reflected by an increase or decrease in
the dollar amount of the relevant partner's capital account; (b) liquidation
proceeds must be distributed in accordance with the partners' capital account
balances; and (c) either (i) upon liquidation of the partnership, any partner
with a deficit balance in his capital account must be required to restore the
deficit amount to the partnership, which amount will be distributed to partners
in accordance with their positive capital account balances or paid to creditors
or (ii) in the absence of an obligation to restore such deficit, the partnership
agreement must contain a "qualified income offset" provision pursuant to which a
partner who is allocated losses and deductions by the partnership which cause or
increase a capital account deficit must be allocated income and gains as quickly
as possible so as to eliminate any deficit balance in his capital accounts that
is greater than any amount that he is, in fact, obligated to restore. For this
purpose, capital accounts are required to be kept in accordance with certain tax
accounting principles described in the regulations.
The economic effect of an allocation is deemed to be "substantial" if there
is a reasonable possibility that the allocation will affect substantially the
amount to be received by the partners from the partnership, independent of tax
consequences. An economic effect is not considered substantial if, at the time
the allocation becomes part of the partnership agreement, (1) at least one
partner's after-tax consequences may, in present value terms, be enhanced
compared to such consequences if the allocation were not contained in the
partnership agreement and (2) there is a strong likelihood that the after-tax
consequences of no partner will, in present value terms, be substantially
diminished compared to such consequences if the allocation were not contained in
the partnership agreement. The regulations state that, in determining after-tax
consequences, the partner's tax attributes that are unrelated to the partnership
will also be taken into account.
The Partnership Agreement requires that (1) all allocations of revenues,
income, gain, costs, expenses, losses, deductions and distributions be reflected
by an increase or decrease in the relevant Partners' capital accounts, (2) all
Partners who are allocated losses and deductions generated by assets acquired
with borrowed money be charged back income and gains generated by such assets,
and (3) although no Limited Partner having a deficit balance in his Capital
Account after the final liquidating distribution will be required to make a cash
contribution to capital in the amount necessary to eliminate the deficit, the
Partnership Agreement does contain a provision for a qualified income offset.
The tax benefits of investment in the Partnership are largely dependent on
the Service's acceptance of the allocations provided under the Partnership
Agreement. The allocations in the Partnership Agreement are designed to have
"substantial economic effect." However, because the substantiality of an
allocation having economic effect depends in part on the interaction of such
allocation with the taxable income and losses of the Partners derived from other
sources, Tax Counsel can render no opinion on whether the allocations of
Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or items thereof) under the
Partnership Agreement will be recognized, and no assurance can be given that the
Service will not challenge those allocations on the ground that they lack
"substantial economic effect." If, upon audit, the Service took the position
that any of those allocations should not be recognized and that position was
sustained by the courts, the Limited Partners could be taxed upon a portion of
the income allocated to the General Partner and all or part of the deductions
allocated to the Limited Partners could be disallowed.
The Partnership will determine its income or loss annually, based on a
fiscal year ending December 31 and using the accrual basis of accounting. For
purposes of allocating such income or loss (or items thereof) among the
Partners, the Partnership will treat its operations as occurring ratably over
each fiscal year. The Partnership's income and loss (or items thereof) for any
fiscal year will be allocated among the Limited Partners based on the number of
Units held by each Limited Partner throughout the fiscal year, or, if any
Partners hold their Units for less than the entire fiscal year, the portion of
the fiscal year during which each of such Partners held his Units.
Deductibility of Losses: Passive Losses, Tax Basis and "At Risk" Limitation
Passive Losses
The "passive activity" rules allow taxpayers to deduct their passive
activity losses only against their passive activity income. Passive activity
income does not include "portfolio income" such as interest, dividends and
royalties, and ordinary income such as salary and other compensation for
personal services. Therefore, taxpayers will generally be required to segregate
income and loss as follows: "active" trade or business income or loss; "passive
activity" income or loss; or "portfolio" income or loss. The passive activity
rules apply to individuals, estates, trusts, personal service corporations and
certain closely-held corporations (including S corporations).
A "passive activity" is one that involves the conduct of a trade or
business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. All rental
activities generally are considered passive activities. Furthermore, the status
of limited partners is generally considered passive with respect to a
partnership's activities.
Accordingly, a Limited Partner's distributive share of Partnership income
or losses is expected to be characterized as passive activity income or loss
(except to the extent attributable to portfolio income or loss, such as interest
earned on Partnership funds pending their investment or reinvestment in
Equipment). Any loss suspended under the passive activity rules may be carried
forward indefinitely to offset passive activity income, if any, derived in
future years, including income generated from the activity producing the
suspended loss. Additionally, suspended losses may be deducted against
non-passive income when a taxpayer recognizes gain or loss upon a taxable
disposition of his entire interest in the passive activity. Finally, passive
income from the Partnership can be used to absorb losses from other passive
activities, subject to the rules regarding publicly-traded partnerships.
Losses from a "publicly traded partnership" are treated as passive activity
losses which may not be used to offset income from any other activity other than
income subsequently generated by the same "publicly traded partnership." Income
from a "publicly traded partnership" (to the extent not used to offset losses
from the same partnership) is generally treated as portfolio income. The
Partnership has been structured so as to avoid treatment as a "publicly traded
partnership." However, income or losses from the Partnership may not be used to
offset losses or income from a Limited Partner's interest in any other
partnerships which are treated as "publicly traded partnerships."
Tax Basis
A Limited Partner's initial tax basis in his Partnership interest will be
his capital contribution to the Partnership (i.e., the price he paid for his
Units). His tax basis will then be increased (or decreased) by his share of
income (or loss) and by his share of any increase (or decrease) of Partnership
indebtedness as to which no Partner is personally liable, and reduced by the
amount of any cash distributions. A Limited Partner may only deduct his
allocable share of Partnership losses, if any, to the extent of his basis in his
Units.
"At Risk" Limitation
Generally, taxpayers (including certain closely-held corporations) may not
deduct losses incurred in most activities, including the leasing of equipment,
in an amount exceeding the aggregate amount the taxpayer is "at risk" in the
activity at the close of the Partnership's tax year. Generally, a taxpayer is
considered "at risk" with respect to an activity to the extent of money and the
adjusted basis of other property contributed to the activity.
A Limited Partner generally will not be "at risk", and will not be entitled
to increase the tax basis of his Units, with respect to recourse liabilities, if
any, of the Partnership (such as trade payables), and he will not be "at risk"
with respect to nonrecourse liabilities incurred by the Partnership (such as
amounts borrowed to finance purchases of Equipment), even though such
nonrecourse liabilities may increase the tax basis of the Units. Thus, a Limited
Partner's initial amount "at risk" effectively will be the amount of his capital
contribution to the Partnership. Such amount will be reduced subsequently by
cash distributions and loss allocations, and increased by allocations of
Partnership income.
The effect of the "at risk" rules generally is to limit the availability of
the Partnership's losses to offset a Limited Partner's income from other sources
to an amount equal to his capital contribution to the Partnership, less cash
distributions received and allocations of Partnership losses, plus any
Partnership income allocated to him. Therefore, although the Partnership may
generate tax losses for a taxable year, the Limited Partners who are subject to
the "at risk" rules will be unable to use such losses to the extent they exceed
such Limited Partner's "at risk" amount in computing taxable income for the
year. Any unused losses may be carried forward indefinitely until such Limited
Partners have sufficient "at risk" amounts in the Partnership to use the losses.
Deductions for Organizational and Offering Expenses; Start-Up Costs
The costs of organizing and syndicating the Partnership, as well as certain
"start-up" costs, may not be deducted currently and must be capitalized.
Section 709 of the Code provides that no current deduction is allowed to a
partnership for organizational expenses. "Organizational expenses" include legal
fees incident to the organization of the partnership, accounting fees for
establishing a partnership accounting system and necessary filing fees. Such
expenses may be written off ratably over a 60-month period.
Under Section 709, no deduction is allowed at all for any amounts paid or
incurred to promote or effect the sale of an interest in a partnership
("syndication expenses"). Syndication expenses may be deducted, if at all, only
upon liquidation of the Partnership, and then perhaps only as a capital loss.
"Syndication expenses" include brokerage fees (such as the Underwriting Fees and
Sales Commissions), registration fees, legal fees of underwriters and placement
agents and the issuer (the Partnership) for securities advice and advice
concerning the adequacy of tax disclosures in the offering documents, accounting
fees for the preparation of information to be included in the offering
materials, printing and reproduction costs and other selling or promotional
expenses.
The General Partner will endeavor to treat the organizational, start-up and
syndication costs of the Partnership in accordance with the foregoing rules.
However, because there is uncertainty about the distinction between trade or
business expenses that may be currently deducted and organizational, start-up
and syndication costs that must be capitalized and either amortized or deferred,
there can be no assurance that the Service will not challenge the current
deduction of certain expenses of the Partnership on the grounds that such
expenses are not currently deductible.
Tax Treatment of the Leases
The availability to Limited Partners of depreciation or cost recovery
deductions with respect to a particular item of Equipment depends, in part, upon
the classification of the particular lease of that Equipment as a "true lease"
of property under which the Partnership is the owner, rather than as a sale,
financing or refinancing arrangement for federal income tax purposes.
Whether the Partnership is the owner of any particular item of Equipment
and whether any of its Leases is a "true lease" for federal income tax purposes
depends upon questions of fact and law. The Service has published guidelines for
purposes of issuing advance rulings on the tax treatment of "leveraged" leases.
These guidelines do not purport to be substantive rules of law and are not
supposed to be applied in audit contexts (although they have been so applied in
a number of instances).
The Partnership will not request, and probably would not be able to obtain,
a ruling from the Service that each of its Leases will qualify as such for tax
purposes, nor is it expected that the General Partner will obtain the advice of
Tax Counsel with respect to any particular Lease. Moreover, the General Partner
may determine that the Partnership should enter into specific Leases on such
terms that the tax treatment of the Leases would be questionable. Should a Lease
be recharacterized as a sale, financing, or refinancing transaction for income
tax purposes, a portion of the "rental" income of the Partnership equivalent to
interest on the amount "financed" under such Lease would be treated as interest
income, without offset for deductions for depreciation or cost recovery, and the
balance of such "rental" income would be a tax-free recovery of principal. The
general result would be increased amounts of taxable income in the initial years
of the Lease followed by decreased amounts of income in later years.
Whether each Partnership Lease will meet the relevant requirements and
whether the Partnership otherwise will be treated, for federal income tax
purposes, as the owner of each item of Equipment acquired by the Partnership,
will depend on the specific facts in each case, which are undeterminable because
they will occur in the future. Accordingly, Tax Counsel can render no opinion on
this issue.
Cost Recovery
In general, equipment of the sort anticipated to be acquired and leased by
the Partnership is classified as either "3-year property," "5-year property" or
"7-year property," and may be written off for federal income tax purposes
(through "cost recovery" or "depreciation" deductions) over its respective
recovery period using the 200 percent declining-balance depreciation method,
with a switch to the straight-line method at a time that maximizes the
deduction. A taxpayer may elect to use a straight-line method of depreciation. A
"half-year convention" (under which a half-year's depreciation is allowed in the
year that the property is placed in service) will generally apply in computing
the first year's depreciation. However, if more than 40% of the aggregate basis
of depreciable property is placed in service in the last three months of the tax
year, a "mid-quarter convention" must be used whereunder all property placed in
service during any quarter of a tax year is treated as placed in service at the
midpoint of such quarter.
The General Partner expects that the Partnership's Equipment will consist
primarily of 5-year property. The General Partner intends to claim cost recovery
deductions with respect to the Partnership's Equipment under the method(s)
deemed by the General Partner to be in the best interests of the Partnership,
which generally will be a straight-line method. Whether the Partnership will be
entitled to claim cost recovery deductions with respect to any particular item
of Equipment and the applicable method and convention to be used depends on a
number of factors, including whether the Leases are treated as true leases for
federal income tax purposes. See "-- Tax Treatment of the Leases" in this
Section.
The Partnership will allocate all or part of the Acquisition Fees to be
paid to the General Partner to the cost basis of Equipment on which cost
recovery is computed. No assurance can be given that the Service will agree that
the amount of such fee which is so allocated is properly attributable to
purchased Equipment such that cost recovery deductions based on such additional
basis are properly allowable. The Service might assert that the Acquisition Fees
are attributable to items other than the Equipment or are not subject to cost
recovery at all. If the Service were successful, the cost recovery deductions
available to the Partnership would be reduced accordingly. Because the
determination of this issue will depend on the magnitude and type of services
performed in consideration for these fees, which facts are presently
undeterminable and may vary in connection with each piece of Equipment acquired
by the Partnership, Tax Counsel is unable to render an opinion thereon.
Under certain circumstances, a taxpayer will be required to recover the
cost of an asset over a period longer than the period described above. Such
circumstances include the use of equipment predominantly outside the United
States and the use of equipment by a "tax-exempt entity." See "-- Limitations on
Cost Recovery Deductions."
Limitations on Cost Recovery Deductions
Property Used Predominantly Outside the United States.
The Partnership may own and lease Equipment which is used predominantly
outside the United States. The cost of such Equipment must be written off for
federal income tax purposes using the straight line method of depreciation over
a period corresponding to the Equipment's "ADR Class Life" (which generally is
longer than the 3-year, 5-year or 7-year periods permitted for other property)
and the applicable half-year or mid-quarter convention. If the Equipment does
not have an ADR Class Life, a 12-year period must be used. See "-- Cost
Recovery."
However, certain types of property which are used predominantly outside the
United States nevertheless qualify for the normal rules discussed in "-- Cost
Recovery" (that is, a shorter depreciable life should be allowable). The
exceptions include the following: (1) aircraft registered in the United States
which are operated to and from the United States; (2) certain railroad rolling
stock which is used within and without the United States; (3) vessels documented
under the laws of the United States which are operated in the foreign or
domestic commerce of the United States; and (4) containers of a United States
person which are used in the transportation of property to and from the United
States. It is not presently determinable whether any Equipment owned and leased
by the Partnership will be in any of these categories.
Tax-Exempt Leasing.
The Partnership may lease Equipment to certain tax-exempt entities.
Property leased to tax-exempt entities ("tax-exempt use property") must be
written off for federal income tax purposes using the applicable half-year or
mid-quarter convention and applying the straight line method of depreciation
over a period corresponding to the longer of (i) the Equipment's "ADR Class
Life" (which generally is longer than the 3-year, 5-year or 7-year periods
permitted for other property) and (ii) or 125% of the term of the lease. The
term of a lease will include all options to renew as well as certain successive
leases, determined under all of the facts and circumstances. The use of property
by a tax-exempt entity at any point in a chain of use results in its
characterization as tax-exempt use property (e.g., a sublease by a
non-tax-exempt lessee to a tax-exempt sublessee).
The definition of a "tax-exempt entity" includes governmental bodies and
tax-exempt governmental instrumentalities, tax-exempt organizations, certain
foreign persons and entities, and certain international organizations. The term
also generally includes certain organizations which were tax-exempt at any time
during the five-year period ending on the date such organization first uses the
property involved. Foreign persons or entities are treated as tax-exempt
entities with respect to property if 50% or less of the income derived from the
leased property is subject to U.S. income tax.
The term "tax-exempt use property" does not include: (1) any portion of
property which is used predominantly by a tax-exempt entity (directly, or
through a partnership in which the tax-exempt entity is a partner) in an
unrelated trade or business if the income from such trade or business is
included in the computation of income subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income; (2) property leased to a tax-exempt entity under a "short-term
lease" (that is, a lease which has a term of less than the greater of one year
or 30% of the property's ADR Class Life, but in any case less than three years);
and (3) certain high-technology equipment.
If any property which is not otherwise tax-exempt use property is owned by
a partnership which has both a tax-exempt entity and a person who is not a
tax-exempt entity as partners, such tax-exempt entity's proportionate share of
such property is treated as tax-exempt use property unless certain specific
requirements relating to the allocation of profits and losses among the partners
are met. These requirements will not be met by the Partnership. However, taxable
income from the Partnership will probably be treated as unrelated business
taxable income in the hands of employee benefit plans and other tax-exempt
investors. See "-- Taxation of Employee Benefit Plans and Other Tax-Exempt
Organizations." Additionally, all or substantially all of the Partnership's
taxable income will be treated as United States source business income in the
hands of foreign Limited Partners for which no exemption is available. See "--
Foreign Investors." Therefore, it is not anticipated that the depreciation
limitations applicable to tax-exempt use property will be material as they
relate to Equipment owned by the Partnership and not leased to or used by a
tax-exempt entity.
Deferred Payment Leases
Both the lessor and lessee under certain rental agreements ("Section 467
rental agreements") are required to accrue annually the rent allocable to the
taxable year, as well as interest on deferred rental payments, where actual
payment of the rent is deferred. A Section 467 rental agreement is defined as
any rental agreement for the use of tangible property which involves total
payments in excess of $250,000 and either (i) provides for increasing or
decreasing rental payments or (ii) provides for rentals payable beyond the close
of the calendar year following the year in which the associated use occurred. In
general, the rent allocable to a taxable year will be determined by reference to
the terms of the lease. However, if a Section 467 rental agreement is silent as
to the allocation of rents, or, if (1) a Section 467 rental agreement provides
for increasing or decreasing rents, (2) a principal purpose for providing for
increasing or decreasing rents is the avoidance of taxes and (3) the lease is
part of a leaseback transaction or is for a term in excess of 75% of certain
prescribed asset write-off periods, then rents will be deemed to accrue on a
level basis in amounts having a present value (as determined by utilizing a
discount rate equal to 110% of the "applicable federal rate," which is roughly
equivalent to the rate on certain U.S. government securities with comparable
maturities) equal to the present value (as so determined) of the aggregate
rentals actually payable under the agreement. The differences between the rent
actually paid and the recomputed rents are treated as loans bearing interest at
the applicable federal rate.
The Partnership may enter into transactions which will subject it to these
provisions. The application of such provisions could result in the acceleration
of income recognition by the Partnership prior to receipt of corresponding cash
flow.
Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Property
An individual's capital gains are taxed at 28% under current law while the
maximum tax rate for ordinary income is 39.6%. For corporations, the highest
maximum tax rate for both capital gains and ordinary income is 35%.
Because of the different individual tax rates for capital gains and
ordinary income, the Internal Revenue Code provides various rules concerning the
characterization of income as ordinary or capital and for distinguishing between
long-term and short-term gains and losses. The distinction between ordinary
income and capital gains continues to be relevant for other purposes as well.
For example, the amount of capital losses which an individual may offset against
ordinary income is limited to $3,000 ($1,500 in the case of a married individual
filing separately).
Upon a sale or other disposition of the Equipment of the Partnership
(including a sale or other disposition resulting from destruction of the
Equipment or from foreclosure or other enforcement of a security interest in the
Equipment), the Partnership will realize gain or loss equal to the difference
between the basis of the Equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the
amount realized upon sale or disposition. The amount realized on a foreclosure
would include the face amount of the debt being discharged in a foreclosure,
even though the Partnership receives no cash. Since the Equipment constitutes
tangible personal property, upon a sale or other disposition of the Equipment,
all of the recovery deductions ("depreciation") taken by the Partnership will,
to the extent of any realized gain, be subject to recapture (i.e., treated by
the Partners as ordinary income). Recapture cannot be avoided by holding the
Equipment for any specified period of time. If the Partnership were to sell
property on an installment basis, all depreciation recapture income is
recognized at the time of sale, even though the payments are received in later
taxable years.
Any gain in excess of the amount of recapture will constitute gain or loss
described in Section 1231 of the Code if the property sold or otherwise disposed
of either was used in the Partnership's trade or business and held for more than
one year or was a capital asset which was held for more one year and not held
primarily for sale to customers. Under Section 1231 of the Code, if the sum of
the gains on sale or exchange of certain assets (generally, depreciable
property, other than inventory and literary properties) used in a trade or
business and held for more than one year and the gains from certain compulsory
or involuntary conversions exceed the losses on such sales, exchanges and
conversions, such excess gains will be treated as capital gains (subject to a
special Section 1231 recapture rule described below). If such losses exceed such
gains, however, such excess losses will be treated as ordinary losses.
There is a special rule under Section 1231 for casualty and theft losses on
depreciable business property and capital assets which are held for more than
one year and are held in connection with a trade or business or a transaction
entered into for profit. Such gains and losses must be separately grouped
together and if casualty gains equal or exceed casualty losses, then the gains
and losses are further grouped with other Section 1231 transactions to determine
whether there is an overall Section 1231 gain or loss. If the casualty or theft
losses exceed gains, the resulting net loss is not further grouped with other
Section 1231 transactions, but is, instead, excluded from Section 1231 and
treated as an ordinary loss.
Under a special "Section 1231 recapture" rule, net Section 1231 gain will
be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the taxpayer's "non-recaptured"
net Section 1231 losses. "Non-recaptured" net Section 1231 losses are any net
Section 1231 losses from the five preceding taxable years which have not yet
been offset against net Section 1231 gains in those years.
If, at the time of sale, the sold Equipment is a capital asset (i.e., was
not used in the Partnership's trade or business) and had been held by the
Partnership for one year or less, or if the Partnership is a "dealer" in
Equipment of the type sold, any gain or loss will be treated as short-term
capital gain or loss or ordinary income or loss, respectively.
Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Interest
Gain or loss recognized by a Limited Partner on the sale of his interest in
the Partnership (which would include both the cash or other consideration
received by such Limited Partner from the purchaser as well as such Limited
Partner's share of any Partnership nonrecourse indebtedness) will, except as
noted below, be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss,
depending on his holding period for his Units and assuming that his Units
qualify as capital assets in his hands. That portion of a selling Partner's gain
allocable to the Partnership's unrealized receivables (including depreciation
recapture) and inventory (the "ordinary income assets"), however, would be
treated as ordinary income. The term "ordinary income assets" would include
assets subject to recapture of recovery deductions determined as if a selling
Partner's proportionate share of the Partnership's properties had been sold at
that time. Thus, a substantial portion of a Limited Partner's gain upon the sale
of his Units may be treated as ordinary income. For a discussion of the
relevance of the distinction between ordinary income and capital gain, see "--
Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Property" in this Section.
In connection with the sale or exchange of a Partnership interest, the
transferor must promptly notify the Partnership of the sale or exchange, and,
once the Partnership is notified, it is required to inform the Service (and the
seller and the buyer of the Partnership interest) on or before January 31
following the calendar year of sale) of the fair market value of the allocable
share of unrealized receivables and appreciated inventory attributable to the
Partnership interest sold or exchanged. Penalty for failure to file is $50 for
each failure, with a limit of $100,000. In addition, failure of the transferor
of a Partnership interest to notify the Partnership will result in a $50 penalty
per failure.
Treatment of Cash Distributions Upon Redemption
The redemption by the Partnership of all or a portion of a Limited
Partner's Units (see "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT") will be treated as
a sale or exchange of such Units by the Limited Partner and may generate taxable
income to him. The "amount realized" by such Limited Partner on such redemption
will equal the sum of the cash received by such Limited Partner, plus the
Limited Partner's share of the Partnership's liabilities.
Under Section 751(b) of the Code, in the event the Partnership distributes
cash to a Partner and, simultaneously, the Limited Partner's interest in the
Partnership's "ordinary income assets" is reduced, the Limited Partner will be
deemed to receive the cash, or a portion thereof, in exchange for the "ordinary
income assets." The Limited Partner will recognize ordinary income to the extent
the portion of the distribution that is attributable to the "ordinary income
assets" exceeds such Limited Partner's undivided interest in the Partnership's
adjusted basis in such assets prior to the exchange. The remainder of the
distribution, if any, will be treated in the same manner as a partnership
distribution (i.e., the Limited Partner will recognize income only to the extent
the cash distributions exceed such Limited Partner's adjusted basis in his
Units). See "-- Taxation of Distributions."
The Partnership anticipates that any redemption of a Limited Partner's
Units will be payable out of Cash From Operations and Cash From Sales that
otherwise would be available for distribution to all Limited Partners or for
reinvestment in additional Equipment. Accordingly, while any redemption of Units
by the Partnership would decrease the aggregate number of Units outstanding and
thereby proportionally increase each remaining Limited Partner's distributive
share of Partnership income, gain, loss and deductions and items thereof, it may
also reduce the total amount of cash which is available for investment or
reinvestment.
Gifts of Units
Generally, no gain or loss is recognized upon the gift of property.
However, a gift of Units (including a charitable contribution) may be treated
partially as a sale to the extent of the transferor's share of Partnership
nonrecourse liabilities, if any. Gain may be required to be recognized in an
amount equal to the difference between such nonrecourse debt share and that
portion of the basis in the Units allocable to the sale transaction. Charitable
contribution deductions for the fair market value of the Units will be reduced
by the amounts involved in such partial sale and, in any event, may be subject
to reduction in certain cases by the amount of gain which would be taxed as
ordinary income to the transferor on a sale of his Units.
Consequence of No Section 754 Election
Because of the complexities of the tax accounting required, the Partnership
does not presently intend to file elections under Section 754 of the Code to
adjust the basis of property in the case of transfers of Units. As a
consequence, a transferee of Units may be subject to tax upon a portion of the
proceeds of sales of the Partnership's property which represents, as to him, a
return of capital. This may affect adversely the price that potential purchasers
would be willing to pay for Units.
Tax Treatment of Termination of the Partnership Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement
In the event of termination of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement (see "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -- Duration of
Partnership") the General Partner is required to sell or dispose of the
Partnership assets, apply the proceeds and other Partnership funds to repayment
of the liabilities of the Partnership and distribute any remaining funds to the
Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Accounts balances. Sales and
other dispositions of the Partnership's assets would have the tax consequences
described in "-- Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership Property" in this
Section. Liquidating cash distributions in excess of a Partner's tax basis for
his Partnership interest generally would be taxable (generally as capital gain,
provided the Partnership interests constitute capital assets in the hands of the
Partners); cash distributions in amounts less than such basis may result in a
loss (generally a capital loss which would be subject to the general limitations
on deductibility of losses). The tax basis for the Units of a Limited Partner is
increased (or decreased) by his share of the Partnership's taxable income (or
loss) resulting from the sale or other disposition of Equipment. Hence, if the
Partnership's Equipment has been sold or disposed of under circumstances
resulting in a loss, distribution of the sale proceeds upon liquidation of the
Partnership may result in taxable gain to the Partners.
Audit by the Service
No tax rulings have been sought by the Partnership from the Service. While
the Partnership (and any joint ventures in which the Partnership participates)
intends to claim only such deductions and assert only such tax positions for
which there is a substantial basis, the Service may audit the returns of the
Partnership or any such joint venture and it may not agree with some or all of
the positions taken by the Partnership (or such joint venture).
An audit of the Partnership's information return may result in an increase
in the Partnership's income, the disallowance of deductions, and the
reallocation of income and deductions among the Partners. In addition, an audit
of the Partnership's information return may lead to an audit of income tax
returns of Limited Partners which could lead to adjustments of items unrelated
to the Partnership.
Partners must report Partnership items on their individual returns in a
manner consistent with the partnership return unless the Partner files a
statement with the Service identifying the inconsistency or unless the Partner
can prove his return is in accordance with information provided by the
Partnership. Failure to comply with this requirement is subject to penalties and
may result in an extended statute of limitations. In addition, in most
circumstances the federal tax treatment of items of a partnership's income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the partnership level in
a unified partnership proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with its
partners.
Any audit of the Partnership will be at the Partnership level and the
Service will deal with the Partnership's "Tax Matters Partner" (the "TMP") with
respect to its tax matters. The General Partner is designated as the
Partnership's TMP in the Partnership Agreement. Only those Limited Partners
having at least a 1% interest in the Partnership (the "Notice Partners") will be
entitled to receive separate notice from the Service of the audit of the
Partnership's return and of the results thereof, and Limited Partners who have
an interest of less than 1% ("Non-notice Partners") will not be entitled to
notice from the Service. However, groups of Non-notice Partners who together own
a 5% or greater interest in the Partnership (a "Notice Group") may, by
notification to the Service, designate a member of their group to receive
Service notices. All Partners in the Partnership have the right to participate
in any audit of the Partnership. The General Partner is required to keep all
Limited Partners informed of any administrative and judicial proceedings
involving the tax matters of the Partnership. Also, the General Partner will
keep Non-notice Partners advised of any significant audit activities in respect
of the Partnership.
The TMP is authorized to enter into settlement agreements with the Service
that are binding upon Non-notice Partners, except Non-notice Partners who are
members of a Notice Group or who have filed a statement with the Service that
the TMP does not have authority to enter into settlement agreements that are
binding upon them. Any Partner will have the right to have any favorable
settlement agreement reached between the Service and any other Partners with
respect to an item of his Partnership applied to him.
The General Partner is empowered by the Partnership Agreement to conduct,
on behalf of the Partnership and Limited Partners, all examinations by tax
authorities relating to the Partnership, at the expense of the Partnership. See
"SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT." A tax controversy could result in
substantial legal and accounting expense being charged to the Partnership
subject to the controversy, irrespective of the outcome.
Alternative Minimum Tax
An alternative minimum tax ("AMT") is payable by taxpayers to the extent it
exceeds the taxpayer's regular federal income tax liability for the year. For
noncorporate taxpayers, the AMT is imposed on "alternative minimum taxable
income" ("AMTI") in excess of an exemption amount. The AMTI is based on the
taxpayer's taxable income, as recomputed with certain adjustments and increased
by certain "tax preference" items. A two-tiered AMT rate schedule for
noncorporate taxpayers exists consisting of a 26% rate (which applies to the
first $175,000 ($87,500 for married individuals filing separately) of a
taxpayer's AMTI in excess of the exemption amount) and a 28% rate (which applies
to the amount in excess of $175,000 ($87,500 for married individuals filing
separately) over the exemption amount). The exemption amount is $45,000 for
married individuals filing jointly, $33,750 for single persons, and $22,500 for
estates, trusts, and married individuals filing separately.
The principal adjustments include the following: (1) depreciation
deductions cannot exceed those computed under the 150% declining balance method
and an extended recovery period, (2) mining exploration and development costs
are capitalized and amortized ratably over ten years, (3) magazine circulation
expenditures are amortized over three years, (4) research and experimental
expenditures are amortized over ten years, (5) miscellaneous itemized deductions
are not allowed, (6) medical expenses are deductible only to the extent they
exceed 10% of adjusted gross income, (7) state and local property and income
taxes are not deductible, (8) interest deductions are subject to further
restrictions, (9) the standard deduction and personal exemptions are not
allowed, (10) only "alternative tax net operating losses" are deductible and
(11) the excess of the fair market value of stock received on the exercise of an
incentive stock option over the exercise price must be included as income.
The principal "tax preference" items which must be added to taxable income
for AMT purposes include the following: (1) the excess of depletion over the
adjusted basis of the property at the end of the year, (2) the excess of
intangible drilling costs over 65% of net oil and gas income, (3) the excess of
the reserve for bad debt deductions over the deduction that would have been
allowable based on actual experience, (4) private activity bond interest and (5)
untaxed appreciation on charitable contributions.
The General Partner does not anticipate that any significant "tax
preference" items will be generated by the Partnership. The principal
Partnership items which may have an impact on a particular Partner's AMTI are
interest and depreciation. It is anticipated that the Partnership will generally
depreciate its Equipment using the straight line method. Therefore, the
Partnership's activities should not give rise to any significant depreciation
adjustments for purposes of computing the AMTI of the Limited Partners.
Prospective investors should be aware, however, that for purposes of computing
AMTI, interest incurred to acquire or maintain an ownership interest in a
passive activity (such as the Partnership) is deductible only to the extent that
such interest, when added to the passive activity income or loss of the taxpayer
(computed with the appropriate alternative minimum tax adjustments and tax
preferences), does not result in a passive activity loss (as so computed).
Accordingly, Limited Partners who borrow money and incur interest expense in
connection with their purchase of Units may only be allowed a limited deduction
for such interest in computing their AMTI.
The rules relating to the alternative minimum tax for corporations are
different than those just described. Corporations contemplating purchase of the
Units should consult their tax advisors as to the possible alternative minimum
tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership.
Interest Expense
In general, interest expense incurred in connection with investment
activities is deductible only against investment income. Interest expense
incurred in connection with investments in "passive" activities (such as the
Partnership and other limited partnerships) may only be deducted in accordance
with the rules applicable to losses derived from passive activities. See "--
Deductibility of Losses: Passive Losses, Tax Basis and 'At Risk' Limitation."
Interest expense incurred by the Partnership probably will be treated as
"passive" activity interest, as would interest expense incurred by a Limited
Partner on money he borrows to purchase or carry his interest in the Partnership
but may be deductible against related income of the Partnership allocable to the
Units purchased with such borrowed money.
The Partnership may enter into transactions involving the prepayment of
interest or the payment of "points," commitment fees and loan origination or
brokerage fees. In general, prepaid interest, "points" and similar costs may not
be deductible currently and, instead, may have to be capitalized and written off
over the life of the related loan. The General Partner will treat such costs in
accordance with the applicable requirements.
Self-Employment Income and Tax
A Limited Partner's net earnings from self-employment for purposes of the
Social Security Act and the Code will not include his distributive share of any
item of income or loss from the Partnership, other than any guaranteed payments
made to such Limited Partner for services rendered to or on behalf of the
partnership.
Maximum Individual Tax Rates
The federal income tax on individuals applies at a 15%, 28%, 31% and 36%
rate. In addition, the Code imposes a 10% surtax on taxable income in excess of
$250,000 ($125,000 for married individuals filing separately), which raises the
tax rate for taxpayers in this bracket to 39.6%. The personal exemption, which
is $2,500 for 1995, is reduced by 2% for each $2,500 by which an individual's
adjusted gross income exceeds $150,000 for joint returns, $125,000 for heads of
household, $100,000 for single taxpayers, and $75,000 for married persons filing
separately (as these amounts are adjusted for post-1991 inflation). An
individual is required to reduce the amount of certain of his otherwise
allowable itemized deductions by 3% of the excess of his adjusted gross income
over $100,000 or $50,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately (as
these amounts are adjusted for post-1991 inflation).
Section 183
Section 183 of the Code limits deductions attributable to "activities not
engaged in for profit." Section 183 contains a presumption that an activity is
engaged in for profit if the gross income from the activity exceeds the
deductions from the activity in at least three out of the five consecutive years
ending with taxable year at issue. The General Partner intends to operate the
Partnership for the purpose of providing an economic profit and anticipates that
the Partnership will have sufficient gross income to entitle it to the benefit
of the presumption referred to above. If the Partnership's activities were
treated as not being engaged in for profit, any deductions of the Partnership in
excess of its gross income might be permanently disallowed.
Registration, Interest, and Penalties
Tax Shelter Registration
"Tax shelters" are required to be registered with the Service. Under
Temporary Treasury Regulations, an investment constitutes a "tax shelter" for
this purpose if a potential investor could reasonably infer from representations
made in connection with the sale of the investment that the aggregate amount of
deductions and other tax benefits potentially allowable with respect to the
investment for any of the first five years will be greater than twice the amount
to be invested. The Partnership is a "tax shelter" under this definition because
the term "amount of deductions" means gross deductions and gross income expected
to be realized by the Partnership is not counted. The Temporary Treasury
Regulations also provide that a tax shelter is not required to be registered
initially if it is a "projected income investment." A projected income
investment is any tax shelter that is not expected to reduce the cumulative tax
liability of any investor as of the close of any of the first five years of the
investment. The General Partner expects, based on economic and business
assumptions which the General Partner believes to be reasonable, that no Limited
Partner's cumulative tax liability will be reduced during any of the first five
years after the effective date of this Prospectus by reason of an investment in
the Partnership. There can be no assurance, however, that unexpected economic or
business developments will not cause Limited Partners to incur tax losses from
the Partnership, with the result that their cumulative tax liability during the
first five years might be reduced. Therefore, the General Partner has registered
the Partnership as a "tax shelter" with the Service. A Tax Shelter Registration
Number is expected to be received shortly. However, for so long as the
Partnership is a projected income investment, the Limited Partners are not
required to include the Partnership's registration number on their tax returns.
Even though the Partnership may be a projected income investment, the
Partnership will nonetheless be required to maintain a list identifying each
person who has been sold a Unit and containing such other information as
required by the regulations. This list must be made available to the Service
upon request.
In the event the Partnership ceases to be a projected income investment,
the Partnership and the Limited Partners will become subject to all remaining
requirements applicable to tax shelters. This means, among other things, that
the Limited Partners will be required to include the Partnership's registration
number on their tax returns.
Pursuant to the Temporary Treasury Regulations, the General Partner is
required to notify the Limited Partners that the Partnership is no longer a
projected income investment and to inform each Limited Partner that he must
report the Partnership's registration number on any return on which he claims a
deduction, credit or other tax benefit from the Partnership.
The General Partner is required by the Temporary Treasury Regulations to
include the following legend herein: "ISSUANCE OF A REGISTRATION NUMBER DOES
NOT INDICATE THAT THIS INVESTMENT
<PAGE>
OR THE CLAIMED TAX BENEFITS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED, EXAMINED OR APPROVED BY THE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE."
Interest on Underpayments
The interest that taxpayers must pay for underpayment of federal taxes is
the Federal short-term rate plus three percentage points, compounded daily. The
Federal short-term rate is set quarterly by the Treasury based on the yield of
U.S. obligations with maturities of three years or less.
Penalty for Substantial Understatements
The Code also contains a penalty for substantial understatement of federal
income tax liability equal to 20% of the amount of the understatement. An
understatement occurs if the correct tax for the year (as finally determined
after all administrative and judicial proceedings) exceeds the tax liability
actually shown on the taxpayer's returns for the year. An understatement on an
individual's return will be considered substantial for purposes of the penalty
if it exceeds both (a) 10% of the correct tax, and (b) $5,000. The imposition of
this penalty may be avoided however if, in the case of any item that is not
attributable to a "tax shelter," (a) there was substantial authority for the
taxpayer's treatment of the item, or (b) the relevant facts affecting the item's
tax treatment were adequately disclosed in the taxpayer's return provided that
the taxpayer had a "reasonable basis" for the tax treatment of such item. In the
case of an item that is attributable to a "tax shelter," the penalty may be
avoided if (a) there was substantial authority for the taxpayer's treatment of
the item, and (b) the taxpayer reasonably believed that his treatment of the
item on the return was more likely than not the proper treatment.
For purposes of the understatement penalty, "tax shelter" includes a
partnership whose principal purpose is "the avoidance or evasion of Federal
income tax." The Partnership should not be treated as a "tax shelter" within the
meaning of this provision primarily because (1) the Partnership's objectives
include the provision of cash distributions (real economic gain) to the
investors throughout the operating life of the Partnership, and (2) claiming the
tax benefits associated with the ownership of equipment would be consistent with
Congressional purpose in providing those benefits.
State and Local Taxation
In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above,
prospective investors should consider potential state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Partnership. A Limited Partner's share of the taxable
income or loss of the Partnership generally will be required to be included in
determining reportable income for state or local tax purposes in the
jurisdiction in which the Limited Partner is a resident. In addition, other
states in which the Partnership owns Equipment or does business may require
nonresident Limited Partners to file state income tax returns and may impose
taxes determined with reference to their pro rata share of the Partnership's
income derived from such state. Any tax losses generated through the Partnership
from operations in such states may not be available to offset income from other
sources in other states. To the extent that a nonresident Limited Partner pays
tax to a state by virtue of the operations of the Partnership within that state,
he may be entitled to a deduction or credit against tax owed to his state of
residence with respect to the same income. Payment of state and local taxes will
constitute a deduction for federal income tax purposes, assuming that the
Limited Partner itemizes deductions. Each investor is advised to consult his own
tax adviser to determine the effect of state and local taxes, including gift and
death taxes as well as income taxes, which may be payable in connection with an
investment in the Partnership.
Foreign Investors
Foreign investors in the Partnership should be aware that, for the most
part, the income of the Partnership will consist of trade or business income
which is attributable to or effectively connected with a fixed place of business
("permanent establishment") maintained by the Partnership in the United States.
As such, Partnership income will be subject to U.S. taxation in the hands of
foreign investors and it is unlikely that any exemption will be available under
any applicable tax treaty. Such foreign investors may be required to file a U.S.
federal income tax return to report their distributive shares of Partnership
income, gains, losses and deductions. Additionally, the Partnership is required
to withhold tax on each such foreign investor's distributive share of income
from the Partnership (whether or not any cash distributions are made); any
amount required to be withheld will be deducted from distributions otherwise
payable to such foreign investor and such foreign investor will be liable to
repay the Partnership for any withholdings in excess of the distributions to
which he is otherwise entitled. Foreign investors must consult with their tax
advisors as to the applicability to them of these rules and as to the other tax
consequences described herein.
Tax Treatment of Certain Trusts and Estates
The tax treatment of trusts and estates can differ somewhat from the tax
treatment of individuals. Investors which are trusts and estates should consult
with their tax advisors as to the applicability to them of the tax rules
discussed herein.
Trusts that purchase Units in the Partnership should be aware that the
Treasury Regulations provide that in certain circumstances trusts which engage
in a trade or business may be taxed as corporations. In this connection, the
courts have held that limited partners (whether trusts or otherwise) are deemed
to be engaged in the trade or business in which the partnership itself is
engaged. The Partnership probably will be treated as engaging in a trade or
business. Accordingly, a Limited Partner which is a trust may be subject to
trust level tax at corporate tax rates, whether or not the income is distributed
to the beneficiaries. This is a question of fact as to each such trust, and Tax
Counsel are not able to express an opinion thereon.
Taxation of Employee Benefit Plans and Other Tax-Exempt Organizations
Employee benefit plans, such as qualified pension and profit sharing plans,
Keogh plans, and IRAs, generally are exempt from federal income tax, except to
the extent their "unrelated business taxable income" exceeds $1,000 in any
taxable year. The excess "unrelated business taxable income" is subject to an
unrelated business income tax. Other charitable and tax-exempt organizations are
likewise subject to the unrelated business income tax. Tax-exempt investors in
the Partnership may be deemed to be engaged in the business carried on by the
Partnership and, therefore, subject to the unrelated business income tax. Such
investors must consult with tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of
investing in the Partnership.
Corporate Investors
The federal income tax consequences to investors which are corporations
(other than certain closely-held corporations, which are subject to the "at
risk" and "passive loss" limitations discussed herein) may differ materially
from the tax consequences discussed herein, particularly as they relate to the
alternative minimum tax. Such investors must consult with tax advisors as to the
tax consequences to them of investing in the Partnership.
INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS
Fiduciaries under ERISA
A fiduciary of a Qualified Plan is subject to certain requirements under
ERISA, including the duty to discharge its responsibilities solely in the
interest of, and for the benefit of, the Qualified Plan's participants and
beneficiaries. A fiduciary is required to (a) perform its duties with the skill,
prudence and diligence of a prudent man acting in like capacity, (b) diversify
investments so as to minimize the risk of large losses and (c) act in accordance
with the Qualified Plan's governing documents.
Fiduciaries with respect to a Qualified Plan include, for example, any
persons who exercise any authority or control respecting the management or
disposition of the funds or other property of the Qualified Plan. For example,
any person who is responsible for choosing a Qualified Plan's investments, or
who is a member of a committee that is responsible for choosing a Qualified
Plan's investments, is a fiduciary of the Qualified Plan. Also, an investment
professional who renders, or who has the authority or responsibility to render,
investment advice with respect to the funds or other property of a Qualified
Plan may be a fiduciary of the Qualified Plan, as may any other person with
special knowledge or influence with respect to a Qualified Plan's investment or
administrative activities.
IRAs generally are not subject to ERISA's fiduciary duty rules. In
addition, where a participant in a Qualified Plan exercises control over such
participant's individual account in the Qualified Plan in a "self-directed
investment" arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 404(c) of ERISA,
such Participant (rather than the person who would otherwise be a fiduciary of
such Qualified Plan) will generally be held responsible for the consequences of
his investment decisions under interpretations of applicable regulations of the
Department of Labor. Certain Qualified Plans of sole proprietorships,
partnerships and closely-held corporations of which the owners of 100% of the
equity of such business and their respective spouses are the sole participants
in such plans at all times are generally not subject to ERISA's fiduciary duty
rules, although they are subject to the Code's prohibited transaction rules,
explained below.
A person subject to ERISA's fiduciary rules with respect to a Qualified
Plan (or, where applicable, IRA) should consider those rules in the context of
the particular circumstances of the Qualified Plan (or IRA) before authorizing
an investment of a portion of the Qualified Plan's (or IRA's) assets in Units.
Prohibited Transactions Under ERISA and the Code
Section 4975 of the Code (which applies to all Qualified Plans and IRAs)
and Section 406 of ERISA (which does not apply to IRAs or to certain
transactions with respect to Qualified Plans that, under the rules summarized
above, are not subject to ERISA's fiduciary rules) prohibit Qualified Plans and
IRAs from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with parties
that are "disqualified persons" under the Code or "parties in interest" under
ERISA ("disqualified persons" and "parties in interest" are hereinafter referred
to as "Disqualified Persons"). Disqualified Persons include, for example,
fiduciaries of the Qualified Plan or IRA, officers, directors and certain
shareholders and other owners of the company sponsoring the Qualified Plan and
natural persons and legal entities sharing certain family or ownership
relationships with other Disqualified Persons. In addition, the beneficiary
"owner" or "account holder" - of an IRA is generally considered to be a
Disqualified Person for purposes of the prohibited transaction rules.
"Prohibited transactions" include, for example, any direct or indirect
transfer to, or use by or for the benefit of, a Disqualified Person of a
Qualified Plan's or IRA's assets, any act by a fiduciary that involves the use
of a Qualified Plan's or IRA's assets in the fiduciary's individual interest or
for the fiduciary's own account, and any receipt by a fiduciary of consideration
for his or her own personal account from any party dealing with a Qualified Plan
or IRA in connection with a transaction involving the assets of the Qualified
Plan or the IRA. Under ERISA, a Disqualified Person that engages in a prohibited
transaction will be required to disgorge any profits made in connection with the
transaction and will be required to compensate any Qualified Plan that was a
party to the prohibited transaction for any losses sustained by the Qualified
Plan. In addition, ERISA authorizes additional penalties and further relief from
such transaction. Section 4975 of the Code imposes excise taxes on a
Disqualified Person that engages in a prohibited transaction with a Qualified
Plan or IRA. Prohibited transactions subject to these sanctions will generally
be required to be "unwound" to avoid incurring additional penalties.
In order to avoid the occurrence of a prohibited transaction under Section
4975 of the Code and/or Section 406 of ERISA, Units may not be purchased by a
Qualified Plan or IRA from assets as to which the General Partner or any of its
Affiliates are fiduciaries. Additionally, fiduciaries of Qualified Plans and
IRAs should be alert to the potential for a prohibited transaction in the
context of a particular Qualified Plan's or IRA's decision to purchase Units if,
for example, such purchase were to constitute a use of plan assets by or for the
benefit of, or a purchase of Units from, a Disqualified Person.
Plan Assets
If the Partnership's assets were determined under ERISA or the Code to be
"plan assets" of Qualified Plans and/or IRAs holding Units, fiduciaries of such
Qualified Plans and IRAs might under certain circumstances be subject to
liability for actions taken by the General Partner or its Affiliates. In
addition, certain of the transactions described in this Prospectus in which the
Partnership might engage, including certain transactions with Affiliates, might
constitute prohibited transactions under the Code and ERISA with respect to such
Qualified Plans and IRAs, even if their acquisition of Units did not originally
constitute a prohibited transaction. Moreover, fiduciaries with responsibilities
to Qualified Plans and/or IRAs subject to ERISA's fiduciary duty rules might be
deemed to have improperly delegated their fiduciary responsibilities to the
General Partner in violation of ERISA.
Although under certain circumstances ERISA and the Code, as interpreted by
the Department of Labor ("DOL") in currently effective regulations, generally
apply a "look-through" rule under which the assets of an entity in which a
Qualified Plan or IRA has made an equity investment may constitute "plan
assets," the applicable regulations exempt investments in certain
publicly-registered securities and in certain operating companies, as well as
investments in entities not having significant equity participation by benefit
plan investors, from the application of the "look-through" principle. Under the
DOL's current regulations governing the determination of what constitutes the
assets of a Qualified Plan or IRA in the context of investment securities such
as the Units, an undivided interest in the underlying assets of a collective
investment entity such as the Partnership will not be treated as "plan assets"
of Qualified Plan or IRA investors if (i) the securities are "publicly offered,"
(ii) less than 25% by value of each class of equity securities of the entity is
owned by Qualified Plans, IRAs, and certain other employee benefit plans or
(iii) the entity is an "operating company."
In order to qualify for the publicly-offered exception described above, the
securities in question must be freely transferable, owned by at least 100
investors independent of the issuer and of one another, and either (a) part of a
class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or (b) sold as part of a public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 120 days (or such later time as
may be allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission) after the end of the
issuer's fiscal year during which the offering occurred. Units will be sold as
part of an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Further, the
General Partner has represented (a) that it intends to register the Units in the
Partnership under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in compliance with the
DOL's requirements and (b) that it is highly likely that substantially more than
100 independent investors will purchase and hold Units in the partnership.
Accordingly, the determination of whether the Units will qualify for the
publicly-offered exception will depend on whether they are freely transferable
within the meaning of the DOL regulations. Although whether a security is freely
transferable is a factual determination, the limitations on the assignment of
Units and substitution of Limited Partners contained in Sections 10.2, 10.3 and
10.4 of the Partnership Agreement appear to fall within the scope of certain
restrictions enumerated in the DOL's current regulations that ordinarily will
not affect a determination that securities are freely transferable when the
minimum investment, as in the case of the Units, is $10,000 or less. Because,
however, the effect of the restrictions on transferability of Units on the
ultimate determination of whether Units are "freely transferable" for purposes
of the DOL's regulations (as well as the determination of whether the
Partnership will be an "operating company" under the alternative DOL exemption
set forth above) is not certain, the General Partner has decided to rely on the
25% ownership exemption described above for these purposes. Consequently,
pending favorable clarification of such matters from the DOL, in order to ensure
that the assets of the Partnership will not constitute "plan assets" of
Qualified Plan and IRA Unitholders, the General Partner will take such steps as
are necessary to ensure that ownership of Units by Qualified Plans, IRAs, and
certain other employee benefit plan investors is at all times less than 25% of
the total value of outstanding Units. In calculating this limit, the General
Partner will, as provided in the DOL's regulations, disregard the value of any
Units held by a person (other than a Qualified Plan, IRA, or certain other
employee benefit plans) who has discretionary authority or control with respect
to the assets of the Partnership, or any person who provides investment advice
for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to the assets of the Partnership, or
any affiliate of any such a person. (See "Investor Suitability Standards.")
Whether the assets of the Partnership will constitute "plan assets" is a factual
issue which may depend in large part on the General Partner's ability throughout
the life of the Partnership to satisfy the 25% ownership exemption. Accordingly,
tax counsel are unable to express an opinion on this issue.
Other ERISA Considerations
In addition to the above considerations in connection with the "plan asset"
question, a fiduciary's decision to cause a Qualified Plan or IRA to acquire
Units should involve, among other factors, considerations that include whether
(a) the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing
the Qualified Plan or IRA, (b) the purchase is prudent in light of the
diversification of assets requirement for such Plan and the potential
difficulties that may exist in liquidating Units, (c) the investment will
provide sufficient cash distributions in light of the Qualified Plan's likely
required benefit payments and other needs for liquidity, (d) the investment is
made solely in the interests of plan participants, (e) the evaluation of the
investment has properly taken into account the potential costs of determining
and paying any amounts of federal income tax that may be owed on unrelated
business taxable income derived from the Partnership, and (f) the fair market
value of Units will be sufficiently ascertainable, and with sufficient
frequency, to enable the Qualified Plan or IRA to value its assets in accordance
with the rules and policies applicable to the Qualified Plan or IRA.

CAPITALIZATION
The capitalization of the Partnership as of the date of this Prospectus and
as adjusted to reflect the sale of the Minimum and Maximum Offering of Units is
as follows:
As of Minimum Maximum

---------- ------------ ---------------
General Partner's
Capital Contribution (1) $ 1,000 $ 1,000 $1,000

----------- ---------- --------------
Net Capitalization $ 2,000 $ 1,039,000(2) $ 86,501,000(2)
========== ================ ============
(1) The Partnership was originally capitalized by the contribution of $1,000 by
the General Partner and $1,000 by the Original Limited Partner.
(2) The Original Limited Partner will withdraw from the Partnership and receive
a return of his original Capital Contribution on the Initial Closing Date
upon the admission of the Initial Limited Partners to the Partnership.
(3) The amounts shown reflect the Gross Offering Proceeds from sale of Units at
$100.00 per Unit before deduction of (a) Sales Commissions in amount equal
to 8.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (or $8 per Unit sold, which will be paid
except in the case of Units sold to Affiliated Limited Partners), (b)
Underwriting Fees equal in amount to 2.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (or
$2.00 per Unit sold) and (c) the O & O Expense Allowance (without regard to
such actual expenses) of 3.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds (or $3.50 per Unit
sold) for a total of all such items of 13.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds (or
$13.50 per Unit) for all Units sold to Limited Partners who are members of
the general public. (No fees or compensation were payable with regard to
either the General Partner's or Original Limited Partner's original
subscription payment).
The maximum dollar amount of such items of compensation payable to the
General Partner, its Affiliates and non-affiliated Selling Dealers will
equal $162,000 for the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units and $13,500,000 for
the Maximum Offering of 1,000,000 Units, in each case computed as if all
Units are sold to the general public without Volume Discounts or purchases
by Affiliated Limited Partners. Affiliated Limited Partners may acquire
Units (for investment purposes only) on a net of Sales Commissions basis for
a price of $92.00 per Unit (and a proportionate Net Unit Price for each
fractional Unit purchased). In addition, investors who purchase 2,500 or
more Units are entitled to volume discounts. To the extent that Units are
purchased by such Affiliated Limited Partners or in quantities that entitle
the purchaser to a volume discount, both the total Capital Contributions of
the Limited Partners and the Partnership's obligation to pay Sales
Commissions will be reduced accordingly. See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING
PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS."
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As reflected above under "CAPITALIZATION," the Partnership currently has
limited funds, due to the fact that none of the capital anticipated to be raised
by the Partnership through the public offering of Units is available on the date
of this Prospectus. The Partnership plans to raise funds from investors by means
of this Offering, and then to use approximately 75% of Gross Offering Proceeds
(inclusive of 1% of such proceeds to established as a Reserve) together with
indebtedness in at least an equal amount to invest in Equipment and Financing
Transactions. That is, the Partnership's total Purchase Price (exclusive of
Acquisition Fees) of Equipment and Financing Transactions is expected to average
approximately 150.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds (although as much as 415.0% of
Gross Offering Proceeds could be invested using the maximum permitted leverage
of 80%). (See "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS").
Pending investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions, the Net Offering
Proceeds of this Offering will be held in short-term, liquid investments. The
Partnership intends to establish a working capital reserve (the "Reserve") of
approximately 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, which amount the General
Partner believes should be sufficient to satisfy the Partnership's general
liquidity requirements. However, liquidity could be adversely affected by
unanticipated operating costs or losses. To the extent that the Reserve is
insufficient to satisfy future cash requirements of the Partnership, the General
Partner expects that additional funds would be obtained from bank loans,
short-term loans from the General Partner, and Cash from Sales of Equipment and
Financing Transactions.
Following completion of the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units and upon the
Initial Closing, the proceeds of Units sold to Limited Partners admitted at the
Initial Closing will be released to the Partnership from the Escrow Account (and
at subsequent Closings from the Partnership's subscription account), and applied
to the payment or reimbursement of Underwriting Fees, Sales Commissions and the
O & O Expense Allowance, leaving estimated Net Offering Proceeds available for
investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions, payment of Acquisition Fees
of approximately 86.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (unless Commission Loans
equal to 8.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds are obtained at such Closing(s), in
which case Net Offering Proceeds and Commission Loan proceeds totaling
approximately 94.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds would be available for such
purposes). The Partnership's funds available for Investments and to meet its
capital needs are expected to undergo major fluctuations during the initial
period of operations of up to twenty-four (24) months while this Offering is
proceeding and during the period (expected to be completed no later than six (6)
months thereafter) during which the Partnership's funds are being invested in
Equipment and Financing Transactions. During the balance of its operating
period, except for infusions of Cash From Operations and Cash From Sales and
reinvestment of such funds in additional Equipment and Financing Transactions,
the capital needs and resources of the Partnership are expected to be relatively
stable. For information concerning the anticipated use of proceeds from the sale
of Units, see "SOURCES AND USES OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND RELATED INDEBTEDNESS"
and "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES."
Operations
The Partnership is newly formed and has had no operations to date. Until
receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for 12,000 Units and the admission of
the subscribers therefor as Limited Partners on the Initial Closing Date, the
Partnership will not commence active operations. During the period commencing
with the Initial Closing Date and continuing throughout the Reinvestment Period,
the Partnership will be in active operation. The operations of the Partnership
will consist primarily of the ownership and leasing of the Equipment and to a
lesser degree, making and managing the Financing Transactions. See "INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES."
The Partnership will acquire Equipment with Net Offering Proceeds and
indebtedness, (which is expected to average at least 50% of the Partnership's
aggregate Purchase Price for all of its Equipment, determined when the Net
Offering Proceeds of this Offering are fully invested). However, in the event
the Partnership requires additional cash or the General Partner determines that
it is in the best interests of the Partnership to obtain additional funds to
increase cash available for Investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions
(e.g. to fund Commission Loans of up to 8.0% of Gross Offering Proceeds) or for
any other proper business need of the Partnership, the Partnership may borrow,
on a secured or unsecured basis, amounts up to 80% of the aggregate Purchase
Price of all Investments acquired by the Partnership at any given time following
full investment of the Net Offering Proceeds. The Partnership currently has no
arrangements with, or commitments from, any Lender with respect to any such
borrowings. The General Partner anticipates that any acquisition financing or
other borrowings (including Commission Loans) will be obtained from
institutional lenders. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES"--"Acquisition
Policies and Procedures".
SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Agreement of
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), which sets forth the terms
and conditions upon which the Partnership will conduct its business and affairs
and certain of the rights and obligations of the Limited Partners. Such summary
does not purport to be complete and is subject to the detailed provisions of,
and qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the Partnership
Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors in the
Partnership should study the Partnership Agreement carefully before making any
investment.
Establishment and Nature of the Partnership
The Partnership was organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act (the "Delaware Act") with ICON Capital Corp., a Connecticut
corporation, as its General Partner. A limited partnership is a partnership
having one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. A limited
partner ordinarily does not play a role in the management or control of a
partnership's affairs and his liability for partnership obligations is generally
limited to his investment, while a general partner is, in general, personally
liable for all partnership obligations.
Name and Address
The Partnership will be conducted under the name "ICON Cash Flow Partners
L.P. Seven" and will have its principal office and place of business at 600
Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York 10528 (unless such offices are changed by
the General Partner with written notice to the Limited Partners).
Purposes and Powers
The Partnership has been organized, without limitation, for the purposes of
(a) acquiring, investing in, owning, leasing, re-leasing, financing,
refinancing, transferring or otherwise disposing of, and in all respects
otherwise dealing in or with, Equipment of all kinds, (b) lending and providing
financing to other Persons for their acquisition of items of equipment and other
tangible and intangible personal property of all kinds, pursuant to financing
arrangements or transactions secured by various items of equipment (or interests
therein and leases and licenses thereof) and other such personal property, and
(c) establishing, acquiring, conducting and carrying on any business suitable,
necessary, useful or convenient in connection therewith, in order to generate
monthly cash distributions to the Limited Partners during the term of the
Partnership. In conducting such business, the Partnership is not limited to any
part of the world (including, without limitation, all land, waters and space
under, on or above such part of the world).
Duration of Partnership
The term of the Partnership commenced upon the filing of the Certificate of
Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May
23, 1995 and will terminate at midnight on December 31, 2015, subject, however,
to earlier termination upon the occurrence of any Dissolution Event, including,
without limitation, (i) the withdrawal, removal or dissolution of, or the
occurrence of certain bankruptcy events with respect to, the General Partner
(unless a Substitute General Partner will be timely admitted to the
Partnership), (ii) the Sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's
assets and (iii) the voluntary dissolution of the Partnership.
Capital Contributions
General Partner. The General Partner has contributed $1,000, in cash, as
its Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for a one percent
(1%) Partnership Interest.
Original Limited Partner. The Original Limited Partner has made a capital
contribution of $1,000 to the Partnership in exchange for ten (10) Units then
representing a 99% Partnership Interest. On the Initial Closing Date, the
Original Limited Partner will withdraw from the Partnership, his capital
contribution of $1,000 will be returned to him in full and his original
Partnership Interest of ten (10) Units will be retired upon the admission of
additional Limited Partners.
Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner (other than the Original Limited
Partner, Affiliated Limited Partners and Limited Partners entitled to Volume
Discounts) will make a Capital Contribution, in cash, in an amount equal to the
Gross Unit Price to the capital of the Partnership for each Unit or fraction
thereof purchased in exchange for such Unit. Each Affiliated Limited Partner
will make a Capital Contribution, in cash, in an amount equal to the Net Unit
Price for each Unit or fraction thereof purchased in exchange for such Unit.
Each Limited Partner entitled to a Volume Discount will make a Capital
Contribution, in cash, to the capital of the Partnership in an amount equal to
the Gross Unit Price for each Unit or fraction thereof purchased less the amount
of the Volume Discount.
Powers of the Partners
General Partner. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will have complete and exclusive
discretion in the management and control of the affairs and business of the
Partnership and will be authorized to employ all powers necessary or advisable
to carry out the purposes and investment policies, conduct the business and
affairs and exercise the powers of the Partnership. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the General Partner will have the right to make
Investments for and on behalf of the Partnership and to manage such Investments
and all other assets of the Partnership. The Limited Partners will not be
permitted to participate in the management of the Partnership. Except to the
extent limited by the Delaware Act or the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner may delegate all or any of its duties under the Partnership Agreement to
any Person (including, without limitation, any Affiliate of the General
Partner).
The General Partner will have the sole and absolute discretion to accept or
refuse to accept the admission of any subscriber as a Limited Partner to the
Partnership; provided that no such admission will be accepted unless (i) the
Minimum Offering will have been achieved, (ii) such admission will not have
certain tax consequences and (iii) the Person seeking such admission will agree
in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, will make
a written representation as to whether such Person is or is not a United States
Person and will satisfy all applicable suitability requirements (see "INVESTOR
SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES").
The General Partner is designated as the Partnership's Tax Matters Partner
and is authorized and directed by the Partnership Agreement to represent the
Partnership and its Limited Partners in connection with all examinations of the
Partnership's affairs by tax authorities and any resulting administrative or
judicial proceedings, and to expend the Partnership's funds in doing so.
Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall participate in or have any
control over the Partnership's business or have any right or authority to act
for, or to bind or otherwise obligate, the Partnership (except one who is also
the General Partner, and then only in its capacity as the General Partner).
Limitations on Exercise of Powers by the General Partner
The General Partner will have no power to take any action prohibited by the
Partnership Agreement or the Delaware Act. Furthermore, the General Partner is
subject to certain provisions in its administration of the business and affairs
of the Partnership, as outlined below.
From and after the date when all Capital Contributions have been invested or
committed to investment in Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross
Offering Proceeds), used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the
Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
will not incur or assume additional Indebtedness in connection with the
acquisition of any Investment to the extent that the sum of the principal amount
of such additional Indebtedness plus the aggregate principal amount of
Indebtedness of the Partnership then outstanding would exceed 80% of the
aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Partnership for Investments then held by
the Partnership (inclusive of the Purchase Price of any Investment then being
acquired).
The Partnership will neither purchase, lease or license Investments from,
nor sell, lease or license Investments to, the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General Partner (including, without limitation, any Program in which the
General Partner or any such Affiliate has an interest) except only upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the
following:
(i) the General Partner has determined that such Affiliated Investment is
in the best interests of the Partnership;
(ii) such Affiliated Investment is made by the Partnership upon terms
(including price) no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms upon
which the General Partner or such Affiliate entered into such Affiliated
Investment;
(iii) neither the General Partner nor any such Affiliate will realize any
gain or other benefit, other than permitted reasonable compensation, as a
result of such Affiliated Investment; and
(iv) such Affiliated Investment was held only on an interim basis (generally
not longer than six months) by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the
General Partner for purposes of facilitating the acquisition of such
Investment by the Partnership, borrowing money or obtaining financing for
the Partnership or for other purposes related to the business of the
Partnership.
No loans may be made by the Partnership to the General Partner or any
Affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner or any such Affiliate,
however, may make Partnership Loans to the Partnership, provided the terms
of such Partnership Loan will include, without limitation, the following:
(i) interest will be payable with respect to such Partnership Loan at a rate
not in excess of the lesser of (A) the rate at which the General Partner or
such Affiliate itself borrowed funds for the purpose of making such
Partnership Loan, (B) if no such borrowing was incurred, the rate obtainable
by the Partnership in an arms-length borrowing with similar terms (without
reference to the General Partner's or such Affiliate's financial abilities
or guarantees) or (C) the rate from time to time announced by The Chase
Manhattan Bank (National Association) at its principal lending offices in
New York, New York as its prime lending rate plus 3% per annum;
(ii) such Partnership Loan will be fully repaid within twelve months after
the date on which it was made; and
(iii) neither the General Partner nor any such Affiliate may receive
financial charges or fees in connection with such Partnership Loan (except
that the General Partner or such Affiliate may be reimbursed, dollar for
dollar, for actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses).
The Partnership will not acquire any Investments in exchange for Interests
in the Partnership.
The Partnership may make Investments in Joint Ventures provided that:
(i) at the time any such Investment in a Joint Venture is made, the maximum
amount of Gross Offering Proceeds which the Partnership may so invest shall
equal an amount equal to the smallest of 25% of (A) the Maximum Offering,
(B) the sum of (1) the cumulative Gross Offering Proceeds raised as of the
Closing Date next preceding such investment and (2) the Gross Offering
Proceeds which the General Partner reasonably estimates the Partnership to
raise from such Closing Date to the Termination Date) or (C) the cumulative
Gross Offering Proceeds actually raised as of the Termination Date;
(ii) the General Partner has determined that such Investment is in the best
interests of the Partnership and will not result in duplicate fees to the
General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner;
(iii) such Investment will (if made with certain participants affiliated
with the Sponsor) be made by the Partnership upon terms that are
substantially identical to the terms upon which such participants have
invested in such Joint Venture, except that the Partnership will have a
right of first refusal with respect to the purchase of any equipment or
other tangible or intangible personal property or financing transactions
held by such Joint Venture only for limited purposes; and
(iv) such Investment will (if made with non-affiliated Persons) give a
controlling interest in such Joint Venture to the Partnership and such Joint
Venture will own and lease specific Equipment and/or invest in one or more
specific Financing Transactions.
During the Reinvestment Period, the General Partner may not dissolve the
Partnership or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership without the Consent of the Majority Interest.
Indemnification of the General Partner
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, except to the limited extent provided
therein, the General Partner and any Affiliate of the General Partner engaged in
the performance of services for the Partnership will be indemnified by the
Partnership from assets of the Partnership (and not by the Limited Partners) for
any liability, loss, cost and expense of litigation suffered by such party,
which arises out of certain actions (for example, legal costs associated with
enforcing the Partnership's rights against Lessees, Users and others) or
omissions to act (for example, the cost of a tax bond while contesting the
magnitude of, or liability for, state or local taxes) by the General Partner or
such Affiliate. See "FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY -- Indemnification of the General
Partner, Dealer-Manager and Selling Dealers."
Liability of Partners
Liability of the General Partner. The General Partner will be liable for all
general obligations of the Partnership to the extent not paid by the
Partnership; provided that neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the
General Partner will have any personal liability for obligations of the
Partnership that are specifically non-recourse to the General Partner or for the
repayment of the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner. All decisions made
for or on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner will be binding upon
the Partnership. See "FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY -- General."
Limited Liability of the Limited Partners. No Limited Partner will have any
personal liability on account of any obligations and liabilities of, including
any amounts payable by, the Partnership and will only be liable, in its capacity
as a Limited Partner, to the extent of such Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution and pro rata share of any undistributed Profits and other assets of
the Partnership. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any Limited Partner who
participates in the management or control of the Partnership's affairs may be
deemed to be acting as a General Partner and may lose any entitlement to limited
liability as against third parties who reasonably believe, in connection with
the transaction of business with the Partnership, that such Limited Partner is a
General Partner. See also "RISK FACTORS -- Partnership and Investment Risks --
Liability of Limited Partners for Certain Distributions" and " -- Limited
Liability Not Clearly Established."
The Delaware Act provides that, for a period of three years from the date on
which any distribution is made to any Limited Partner, such Limited Partner may
be liable to the Partnership for such distribution if (i) after giving effect to
such distribution, all liabilities of the Partnership (other than liabilities to
Partners on account of their Partnership Interests and liabilities for which the
recourse of creditors is limited to specified property of the Partnership),
exceed the fair value of the assets of the Partnership (except that the fair
value of any property that is subject to such a limited recourse liability will
be included in the assets of the Partnership only to the extent that the fair
value of such property exceeds such liability) and (ii) such Limited Partner
knew at the time of such distribution that such distribution was made in
violation of the Delaware Act.
Non-assessability of Units
The Units are nonassessable. Except as may otherwise be required by law or
by the Partnership Agreement, after the payment of all Subscription Monies for
the Units purchased by such Limited Partner, no Limited Partner will have any
further obligations to the Partnership, be subject to any additional assessment
or be required to contribute any additional capital to, or to loan any funds to,
the Partnership, but may, under certain circumstances, be required to return
distributions made to such Limited Partner in violation of the Delaware Act as
described in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash
From Sales
Distributable Cash from Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales
(Available Cash from such sources) that is not reinvested in Equipment and
Financing Transactions will be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners as a
group and 1% to the General Partner until Payout (which is defined as the time
when the aggregate amount of cash distributions (from whatever sources) to a
Limited Partner equals the amount of such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution
plus an amount equal to an eight (8%) percent annual cumulative return on such
Capital Contribution, compounded daily from a date not later than the last day
of the calendar quarter in which such Capital Contribution is made (determined
by treating distributions actually made to a Limited Partner as first being
applied to satisfy such 8% return on capital which has accrued and has not been
paid and applying any excess distributions as a return of such Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution. Income earned on escrowed funds and distributed to Limited
Partners may be used to satisfy such cumulative return requirement. Thereafter,
such distributions will be tentatively distributable 90% to the Limited Partners
as a group and 10% to the General Partner; provided, however, that the increased
amount so tentatively distributable to the General Partner will be deferred
until aggregate distributions to the Limited Partners equal at least 150% of
their respective Capital Contributions (reduced, but not below zero, by
distributions (if any) made to each of them pursuant to Sections 8.6 (return of
uninvested capital) or 10.5 (redemptions)). Any such deferred amounts will be
paid to the General Partner, without interest, out of the first cash available
to the Partnership upon the earlier of (i) the time when distributions to the
Limited Partners equal 150% of their aggregate Capital Contributions or (ii)
upon liquidation of the Partnership.
During the Reinvestment Period (the period of active investment and
reinvestment by the Partnership which ends five (5) years after the
Partnership's Final Closing Date (or no later than May 9, 2005)), the General
Partner will have the sole discretion to determine the amount of Distributable
Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales that are to be reinvested
in new Investments and the amounts that are to be distributed; provided,
however, each Limited Partner is entitled to receive, and shall receive, monthly
cash distributions computed as provided in this paragraph. Such distributions
will be made to the extent that Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales are sufficient for such purpose. The annual amount
of such distributions will be computed by multiplying 10.75% by such Limited
Partner's original Capital Contribution reduced by any portion thereof which has
been (A) returned to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6, or (B)
redeemed by the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.5, of this Agreement. A
ratable portion (i.e., one-twelfth) of such annual distribution amount shall be
payable monthly. Such distributions, if made, will reduce the amount of money
that may be reinvested by the Partnership. As discussed in "INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES--Cash Distributions to Partners", decisions by the
General Partner as to the amounts of Reserves which the Partnership establishes
and the amounts of Partnership funds which will be reinvested may effect the
ability of the Partnership to make such cash distributions.
Such cash distributions will be noncumulative; meaning that, if
Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales are
insufficient in any calendar month to pay the full amount of such distributions,
only the actual amount thereof is required to be distributed. Such cash
distributions will also computed on a non-compounded basis; meaning that the
principal amount upon which such cash distributions is computed will not be
increased as the result of the inability of the Partnership to distribute any
monthly portion of such annual amounts, or reduced by any of such distributions
actually made, in any prior period. It is expected that a substantial portion of
all of such cash distributions (e.g. the portion thereof which exceeds taxable
income for GAAP purposes) will be treated as a return of Limited Partners'
originally invested capital) and that the balance of such distributions will be
treated as a return thereon (e.g. the portion thereof which equals taxable
income for GAAP purposes).
Section 8.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement also provides that each Limited
Partner is entitled to receive monthly cash distributions (if the distributions
described above are not adequate) in amounts which would permit the Limited
Partners to pay federal, state and local income taxes resulting from Partnership
Operations (assuming that all Limited Partners are subject to income taxation at
a 31% cumulative tax rate on taxable distributions for GAAP purposes). Such
distributions will be made to the extent that Distributable Cash From Operations
and Distributable Cash From Sales are sufficient for such purpose.
During the Disposition Period, the Partnership intends to promptly
distribute substantially all Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales.
Section 6.4(g) of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General
Partner will be paid its monthly Management Fee for any month during the
Reinvestment Period only after payment in full of any accrued and unpaid First
Cash Distributions for such month and any previous month. To the extent such
Management Fee is not paid currently, it will be paid without interest out of
the first funds available therefore. (See the "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION.")
Allocation of Profits and Losses
As a general rule, during the Reinvestment Period, the Partnership's Profits
(including, inter alia, taxable income and gains and items thereof, and items of
revenue exempt from tax) will be allocated, first, 99% to the Limited Partners
in proportion to their respective numbers of Units and 1% to the General
Partner, until each Limited Partner has been allocated Profits equal to the
excess, if any, of (1) such Limited Partner's Unpaid Target Distribution (i.e.
the sum of such Limited Partner's (a) Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b)
Unpaid Cumulative Return thereon) over (2) such Limited Partner's Capital
Account balance; next, in a manner which in a manner that will cause (a) the
excess of the Limited Partners' aggregate Capital Account balances over the
amount of their aggregate Unpaid Target Distributions and (b) the General
Partner's Capital Account balance, to be in the ratio of 90% to 10%; and
thereafter, 90% to the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective
numbers of Units and 10% to the General Partner. During the Disposition Period,
the Partnership's Profits first will be allocated to all Partners in the amount
necessary to eliminate any deficits in their capital accounts, and, thereafter,
will be allocated as described above.
As a general rule, 99% of the Partnership's Losses (including, inter alia,
tax losses and deductions and items thereof, and items of expense that are not
deductible for federal income tax purposes) will be allocated among the Limited
Partners in proportion to their respective numbers of Units and 1% will be
allocated to the General Partner throughout the term of the Partnership .
In addition to the general provisions regarding allocations of Profits and
Losses, the Partnership Agreement contains a number of special allocations that
are intended to meet certain "safe harbor" provisions contained in the Treasury
Regulations relating to partnership allocations (for example, a "qualified
income offset" provision requires that Profits be allocated to any Limited
Partners developing deficits in their Capital Account in an amount necessary to
eliminate such deficits; and "minimum gain chargeback" provisions require that
depreciation recapture and other similar items of income be allocated back to
the Partners who were initially allocated the depreciation deductions or other
related items of deduction); and certain other special allocations that are
designed to reflect the business deal among the Partners (for example, the Sales
Commissions with respect to any Unit are allocated to the owner of that Unit) or
to protect the Limited Partners in the event the Partnership is subjected to an
unexpected tax liability because of a particular Partner (for example, local
taxes that are imposed on the Partnership because of a Partner's residence in
that locality will be charged to that Partner).
The Partnership Agreement provides that Limited Partners who own Units for
less than an entire fiscal year will be allocated Profits or Losses (which will
be treated as if they occurred ratably over the fiscal year) based on the
proportionate part of the fiscal year that they owned their Units.
Withdrawal of the General Partner
Voluntary Withdrawal The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a
General Partner from the Partnership without (i) 60 days' advance written notice
to the Limited Partners, (b) an opinion of Tax Counsel that such withdrawal will
not cause the termination of the Partnership or materially adversely affect the
federal tax status of the Partnership and (c) a selection of, and acceptance of
its appointment as such by, a Substitute General Partner (i) acceptable to a
Majority Interest of the Limited Partners with an adequate net worth in the
opinion of Tax Counsel.
Involuntary Withdrawal The General Partner may be removed by Consent of the
Majority Interest or upon the occurrence of any other event that constitutes an
event of withdrawal under the Delaware Act as then in effect. Neither the
General Partner nor any of its Affiliates may participate in any vote by the
Limited Partners to (i) involuntarily remove the General Partner or (ii) cancel
any management or service contract with the General Partner or any such
Affiliate.
Liability of Withdrawn General Partner Generally speaking, the General
Partner shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it
or by the Partnership while it was acting in the capacity of General Partner and
for which it was liable as General Partner, but shall be free of any obligation
or liability incurred on account of or arising from the activities of the
Partnership from and after the time such withdrawal shall have become effective.
Transfer of Units
Withdrawal of a Limited Partner A Limited Partner may withdraw from the
Partnership only by Assigning or having all Units owned by such Limited Partner
redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. A Limited Partner may
generally assign all of his Units and may assign a portion of his or her Units
except certain impermissible types of assignees or assignments which would
adversely effect the Partnership (See Exhibit A--Section 10.2).
Limited Right of Presentment for Redemption of
- ------------------------------------------------- Units Commencing with the
- ----- second full calendar quarter following the Final Closing Date and at any
time and from time to time thereafter until termination of the Partnership, any
Limited Partner (other than an Affiliated Limited Partner) may request that the
Partnership redeem all or any portion of his or her Units. Subject to the
availability of funds and the other provisions of this Section 10 of the
Partnership Agreement (see "TRANSFER OF UNITS" Section "Limited Right of
Presentment for Redemption of Units", below). Dissolution and Winding-up

Investments and other assets of the Partnership will be liquidated and the
proceeds thereof will be distributed to the Partners after payment of
liquidation expenses and the debts of the Partnership and otherwise in the order
of priority set forth in the Partnership Agreement and the existence of the
Partnership will be terminated. No Limited Partner is guaranteed the return of,
or a return on, such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution.
Access to Books and Records
The General Partner will maintain the books and records of the Partnership
at the Partnership's principal office. Each Limited Partner will have the right
to have a copy of the Participant List (including, among other things, the names
and addresses of, and number of Units held by, each Limited Partner) mailed to
it for a nominal fee; provided such Limited Partner will certify as to the
non-commercial use thereof. In addition, each Limited Partner or his
representative will have the right, upon written request, subject to reasonable
Notice and at such Limited Partner's expense, to inspect and copy such other
books and records of the Partnership as will be maintained by the General
Partner.
Meetings and Voting Rights of Limited Partners
Meetings A meeting of the Limited Partners to act upon any matter on which
the Limited Partners may vote may be called by the General Partner at any time
on its own initiative and will be called by the General Partner following its
receipt of written request(s) for a meeting from Limited Partners holding 10% or
more of the then outstanding Units. In addition, in lieu of a meeting, any such
matter may be submitted for action by Consent of the Limited Partners.
<PAGE>
Voting Rights of Limited Partners The Limited Partners, acting by the
Consent of the Majority Interest constituting a numerical majority (i.e., more
than 50%) of Units, may take action on the following matters without the
concurrence of the General Partner:
(i) amendment of the Agreement; provided that such amendment (A) may not in

specific Consent of the General Partner, alter the rights, powers and duties
of the General Partner as set forth in the Partnership Agreement;
(ii) dissolution of the Partnership;
(iii) Sale or series of Sales of all or substantially all of the assets of

this Section); and
(iv) removal of the General Partner and election of one or more
Substitute General Partners.

business, and (ii) without the specific Consent of the General Partner, to alter
the rights, powers and duties of the General Partner as set forth in the
Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any amendment of the

<PAGE>
TRANSFER OF UNITS
Withdrawal
A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership only by Assigning having
redeemed all Units owned by such Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement.
Restrictions on the Transfer of Units
There is no public or secondary market for the Units and none is expected to
develop. Moreover, a Limited Partner may Assign Units owned by such Limited
Partner to an Assignee only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and
subject to certain restrictions. Finally, an Assignee of any Partnership
Interest will become a Substitute Limited Partner only if the General Partner
has reasonably determined that all conditions to an Assignment have been
satisfied and that no adverse effect to the Partnership does or may result from
the admission of such Substitute Limited Partner to the Partnership and such
Assignee will have executed a transfer agreement and such other forms, including
executing a power of attorney to the effect set forth in the Partnership
Agreement, as the General Partner reasonably may require. Consequently, holders
of Units may not be able to liquidate their investments in the event of
emergencies or for any other reasons or to obtain financing from lenders who
will readily accept Units as collateral.
A Limited Partner may Assign Units held by it to any Person (an "Assignee")
only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to
the following:
(i) such Limited Partner and such Assignee will each execute a written
Assignment instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to the General
Partner, which will, among other things, state the intention of such Limited
Partner that such Assignee will become a Substitute Limited Partner,
evidence the acceptance by the Assignee of all of the terms and provisions
of the Partnership Agreement and include a representation by both such
Limited Partner and such Assignee that such Assignment was made in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including, without
limitation, such minimum investment and investor suitability requirements as
may then be applicable under state securities laws); and
(ii) such for Assignee will pay to the Partnership a fee not exceeding
$150.00 to the Partnership for costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with such Assignment.
Furthermore, unless the General Partner will specifically Consent, no Units
may be Assigned:
(i) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or
conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person);
(ii) to any Person if, in the Opinion of Tax Counsel, such Assignment would
result in the termination of the Partnership's taxable year or its status as
a partnership for federal income tax purposes, provided that the Partnership
may permit such Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion
of Tax Counsel, such Assignment would no longer result in the termination of
the Partnership's taxable year or its status as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes;
(iii) to any Person if such Assignment would affect the Partnership's
existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act
or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is
then conducting business;
(iv) to any Person not permitted to be an Assignee under applicable law,
including, without limitation, applicable federal and state securities laws;
(v) if such Assignment would result in the transfer of a Partnership
Interest representing less than twenty-five (25) Units, or ten (10) Units in
the case of an IRA or Qualified Plan (unless such Assignment is of the
entire Partnership Interest owned by such Limited Partner);
(vi) if such Assignment would result in the retention by such Limited
Partner of a portion of its Partnership Interest representing less than the
greater of (A) twenty-five (25) Units, or ten (10) Units in the case of an
IRA or Qualified Plan, and (B) the minimum number of Units required to be
purchased under minimum investment standards applicable to an initial
purchase of Units by such Limited Partner;
(vii) if, in the reasonable belief of the General Partner, such
Assignment might violate applicable law;
(viii) if the effect of such Assignment would be to cause the "equity
participation" in the Partnership by "benefit plan investors" (both
within the meaning of DOL Reg. ss. 2510.3-101(f)) to equal or exceed 25%; or
(ix) if such Assignment would cause an impermissible percentage of Units to
be owned by non-United States Citizens.
Any attempt to make any Assignment of Units in violation of the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement or applicable law will be null and void ab initio and
will not bind the Partnership.
The Partnership Agreement provides further that so long as there are adverse
federal income tax consequences from being treated as a "publicly traded
partnership" for federal income tax purposes, the General Partner will not
permit any interest in a Unit to be Assigned on a Secondary Market and, if the
General Partner determines in its sole discretion, that a proposed assignment
was effected on a Secondary Market, the Partnership and the General Partner have
the right to refuse to recognize any such proposed Assignment and to take any
action deemed necessary or appropriate in the General Partner's reasonable
discretion so that such proposed Assignment is not in fact recognized. Any
Assignment which results in a failure to meet the "safe harbor" provisions of
Notice 88-75 (July 5, 1988) issued by the Service, or any substitute safe-harbor
provisions subsequently established by Treasury Regulations or published
notices, will be treated as causing the Units to be publicly traded. Pursuant to
the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners will agree to provide all
information respecting Assignments, which the General Partner deems necessary in
order to determine whether a proposed transfer occurred on a Secondary Market.
Assignments of Units will be recognized by the Partnership as of the first
day of the Segment following the date upon which all conditions to such
Assignment will have been satisfied.
Limited Right of Presentment for Redemption of Units
The Partnership will at no time be under any obligation to redeem Units of a
Limited Partner and will do so only in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner. Commencing with the second full calendar quarter following the
Final Closing Date and at any time and from time to time thereafter until
termination of the Partnership, any Limited Partner may request that the
Partnership redeem, and, subject to the availability of funds and provided that
the Partnership will not in any calendar year redeem Partnership Interests that,
in the aggregate, exceed 2% of the total Partnership Interests outstanding as of
the last day of such calendar year, with the prior Consent of the General
Partner, the Partnership will redeem, for cash, up to 100% of the Partnership
Interest of such Limited Partner, at the Applicable Redemption Price. The
Applicable Redemption Price, with respect to any Unit, will be an amount
(determined as of the date of redemption of such Unit), as follows:
(a) during the Reinvestment Period, equal to 85% of the original Capital
Contribution of such Limited Partner less the sum of (i) 100% of previous
distributions to such Limited Partner of uninvested Capital Contributions,
(ii) 100% of previous distributions of Distributable Cash, (iii) 100% of any
previous allocations to such Limited Partner of investment tax credit
amounts and (iv) the aggregate amount, not exceeding $150.00, of expenses
reasonably incurred by the Partnership in connection with the redemption
such Unit; and
(b) during the Disposition Period, equal to 100% of the balance of the
Capital Account of such Limited Partner as of the end of the month next
preceding such date of redemption less the sum of (i) such Limited Partner's
pro rata share (without giving effect to such redemption) of Profits and
Losses of the Partnership (as reasonably estimated by the General Partner)
for the period commencing on the first calendar day of the month in which
such redemption date will occur and (ii) the aggregate amount, not exceeding
$150.00, of expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership in connection
with the redemption such Unit;
provided, however, that in no event will the applicable redemption price
computed under either clause (a) or (b) exceed an amount equal to such
Limited Partner's Capital Account balance as of the end of the calendar
quarter preceding such redemption minus cash distributions which have been
made or are due to be made for the calendar quarter in which the redemption
occurs (for a redemption of all Units owned by such Limited Partner or that
portion of such amount which is proportionate to the percentage of such
Limited Partner's Units which are redeemed in the case of partial
redemptions).
There can be no assurance that the Applicable Redemption Price will in any
way reflect the fair market value of the Units at the time of redemption.
<PAGE>
The availability of funds for the redemption of any Unit will be subject to
the availability of sufficient Distributable Cash. In this connection, it should
be noted that the General Partner intends to reinvest a substantial portion of
the Partnership's Cash From Operations and substantially all Cash From Sales
during the Reinvestment Period. Furthermore, Units may be redeemed only if such
redemption would not impair the capital or the Operations of the Partnership and
would not result in the termination under the Code of the Partnership's taxable
year or of its federal income tax status as a partnership. Any amounts used to
redeem Units will reduce Partnership funds available to make Investments and
distributions to the remaining Partners. In the event that the Partnership
receives requests to redeem more Units than there are funds sufficient to
redeem, the General Partner will honor redemption requests in the order in which
duly executed and supported redemption requests are received. The General
Partner will use its reasonable efforts to honor requests for redemptions of
Units with the same request date first as to Hardship Redemptions, second so as
to provide liquidity for IRAs or Qualified Plans to meet required distributions
and finally as to all other redemption requests. A Limited Partner desiring to
have a portion or all or his Units redeemed will submit a written request to the
General Partner on a form approved by the General Partner duly signed by all
owners of such Units on the books of the Partnership. Redemption requests
hereunder will be deemed given on the earlier of the date the same is (i)
personally delivered with receipt acknowledged, or (ii) mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at the General Partners address
set forth herein. Requests arising from death, major medical expense and family
emergency related to disability or a material loss of family income,
collectively "Hardship Redemptions") will be treated as having been received at
12:01 A.M. EST and all other requests will be deemed received with the start of
the business day during which received). Within the times specified above, the
General Partner will accept or deny each redemption request. The General Partner
will, in its sole discretion, decide whether a redemption is in the best
interest of the Partnership.
Certain Consequences of Transfer
Any Units tendered to, and accepted by, the Partnership for redemption will
be canceled when redeemed and, as of the date of such redemption, will no longer
represent a Partnership Interest. In the event that any Limited Partner will
Assign all Units owned by such Limited Partner, or have all such Units accepted
for redemption by the Partnership, such Limited Partner will thereupon cease to
be a Limited Partner and will no longer have any of the rights or privileges of
a Limited Partner in the Partnership. Whether or not any Assignee becomes a
Substitute Limited Partner, however, the Assignment by a Limited Partner of such
Limited Partner's entire Partnership Interest will not release such Limited
Partner from liability to the Partnership to the extent of any portion of such
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution not yet paid and of any distributions
(including any return of or on such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution) made
to such Limited Partner in violation of the Delaware Act or other applicable
law.
<PAGE>
The sale of Units by a Limited Partner may result in the recapture of all of
the depreciation deductions previously allocated to such Limited Partner. See
the "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Sale or Other Disposition of Partnership
Interest."
Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates (i.e., no Affiliate
Limited Partner) may redeem their Partnership Units, if any.
Gain or loss realized on the redemption of a Unit by a Limited Partner who
holds his Units as a capital asset and who has held such Unit for more than one
year, will be capital gain or loss, as the case may be, except that any gain
realized will be treated as ordinary income to the extent attributable to the
Limited Partner's share of potential depreciation recapture on Partnership
Equipment, substantially appreciated inventory items and unrealized receivables.
See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Treatment of Cash Distributions Upon
Redemption."
REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS
Annual Reports
By March 15 of each Fiscal Year, the General Partner will deliver to each
Limited Partner a statement of such Partner's share of the Partnership's income,
gains, losses, deductions, and items thereof, and credits, if any, for the
Fiscal Year most recently completed to enable such Limited Partner to prepare
his federal income tax return.
Within 120 days after the end of the Partnership's fiscal year, the General
Partner will send to each Person who was a Limited Partner at any time during
such Fiscal Year an annual report including, among other things:
(i) financial statements for the Partnership for such Fiscal Year, including
a balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year and related statements of
operations, cash flows and changes in Partners' equity, which will be
prepared as required by the Partnership Agreement and accompanied by an
auditor's report containing an opinion of the Accountants;
(ii) a breakdown (by source) of distributions made during such Fiscal
Year to the General Partner and the Limited Partners;
(iii) a status report with respect to each item of Equipment and each
Financing Transaction which individually represents at least 10% of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Partnership's Investments at the end of such
Fiscal Year, including (among other things) information relevant to the
condition and utilization of such Equipment or the collateral securing such
Financing Transaction;
(iv) a breakdown of the compensation paid to, and any amounts reimbursed to,
the Sponsor, including among other things) a statement of the services
performed or expenses incurred in consideration therefor, a summary of the
terms and conditions of any contract with the Sponsor which was not filed as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part and a statement of the total amount of all costs and expenses
reimbursed to the Sponsor by the Partnership and any other Programs of the
Sponsor demonstrating the allocation thereof between the Partnership and
such other Programs;
(v) until all Capital Contributions have been invested or committed to
investment in Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering
Proceeds), used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the Limited
Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, certain information
regarding Investments made by the Partnership during such Fiscal Year.
Quarterly Reports
Within 60 days after the end of each of the first three Fiscal Quarters in
any Fiscal Year, the General Partner will send, to each Person who was a Limited
Partner at any time during such Fiscal Quarter, an interim report for such
Fiscal Quarter including, among other things:
(i) unaudited financial statements for the Partnership at and for such
Fiscal Quarter, including a balance sheet and related statements of
operations, cash flows and changes in Partners' equity;
(ii) a tabular summary of the compensation paid to, and any amounts
reimbursed to, the Sponsor, including (among other things) a statement of
the services performed or expenses incurred in consideration therefor and a
summary of the terms and conditions of any contract with the Sponsor which
was not filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part; and
(iv) until all Capital Contributions have been invested or committed to
investment in Investments and Reserves (not exceeding 3% of Gross Offering
Proceeds), used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the Limited
Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, certain information
regarding Investments made by the Partnership during such Fiscal Quarter.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, pursuant to the
Dealer-Manager Agreement between the Partnership and the Dealer-Manager, the
Partnership will offer through the Dealer-Manager, on a best efforts basis, a
Maximum Offering of 1,000,000 Units, all of which are priced at $100 per Unit
(except for certain Units which may be purchased by (i) Affiliated Limited
Partners for the Net Unit Price of $92.00 per Unit and (ii) a single subscriber
which are eligible for Volume Discounts as described on footnote (1) on Page 2
of this Prospectus). The minimum subscription is 25 Units (10 Units for IRAs and
Qualified Plans, including Keogh plans except in certain states as set forth in
the "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION
PROCEDURES" Section). See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY STANDARDS--Minimum Unit
Purchase."
Units will be sold through primarily through the Selling Dealers and to a
limited extent by the Dealer-Manager. The Partnership will pay to the Selling
Dealer or the Dealer-Manager, as the case may be, a Sales Commission equal to
8.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds from the sale of such Units (except for
Units sold to Affiliated Limited Partners, as to which no Sales Commission is
payable, or to subscribers entitled to a volume discount, in which case the
Sales Commission is reduced by the amount of such volume discount) from Gross
Offering Proceeds of such sales or from the proceeds of any Commission Loans
which may be obtained by the Partnership in connection therewith. The
Partnership may obtain a loan as of each Closing Date in the principal amount of
the Sales Commissions (collectively "Commission Loans") to pay Commissions
otherwise payable by the Partnership on such Closing Date from Gross Offering
Proceed for the purpose of increasing the total amount of Gross Offering
Proceeds immediately available for Investments. The Partnership's total payments
of principal of, and interest on, any such Commission Loans would exceed the
corresponding amounts of Commissions paid with the proceeds of such loans by the
interest paid thereon. Consequently, the General Partner expects to utilize
Commission Loans only when, it has determined that an opportunity exists to use
such borrowings to obtain Investments which have contractual payments which
exceed the total payments of principal of, and interest on, the corresponding
Commission Loans.
Generally, Units are purchased by all subscribers at a price of $100.00 per
Units except for:
(a) officers, employees and securities representatives of the General
Partner, its Affiliates and Selling Dealers ("Affiliated Limited Partners")
who may purchase Units for investment purposes only for the Net Unit Price
of $92.00 per Unit. The Partnership will incur no obligation to pay any
Sales Commissions with respect to such purchases. The General Partner's and
its Affiliates' purchases of Units are limited to a maximum of 10% of the
total Units purchased.
(b) Investors buying in volume are entitled to volume discounts as
follows:
Number of Units Discount Net Purchase Price
2,499 or less None $100.00
2,500 to 4,999 $2.50 $ 97.50
5,000 to 9,999 $3.50 $ 96.50
10,000 to 19,999 $4.50 $ 95.50
20,000 or more $6.50 $ 93.50
Volume Discounts reduce the Sales Commissions that would otherwise be
payable in connection with the purchase of Units. An investor entitled to a
volume discount will receive such discount through a reduction of the aggregate
cash purchase price required to purchase Units.
The proceeds to the Partnership, net of Sales Commissions and volume
discounts, if any, will be the same for all such sales as for sales to the
general public.
The total marketing compensation to be paid to the Dealer-Manager and all
participating Selling Dealers in connection with the offering of Units in the
partnership, including Sales Commissions and Underwriting Fees, will not exceed
a maximum of 10.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (except that the General
Partner may pay bona fide due diligence fees and expenses incurred by the
Dealer-Manager and prospective Selling Dealers from its O & O Expense Allowance
up to the lesser of (i) an additional 1/2 of 1% of such Gross Offering Proceeds
or (ii) the maximum amount allowable under the NASD Rules of Fair Practice). Any
payments made in connection with due diligence activities will only be paid on a
fully accountable basis and only for bona fide due diligence activities. Amounts
paid or advanced for Sales Commissions and due diligence fees and expenses will
be made only for bona fide sales or due diligence activities as evidenced by
receipt of duly executed subscription documents (in the case of sales) and an
invoice and other evidence satisfactory to the General Partner confirming the
nature and cost of due diligence activity performed (in the case of due
diligence activities). The sums which may be expended in connection with due
diligence activities are included in the O & O Expense Allowance paid by the
partnership to the General Partner. See "SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION."
The Dealer-Manager Agreement and the Selling Dealer Agreements contain
provisions for the indemnification of the Dealer-Manager and participating
Selling Dealers by the Partnership with respect to certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Dealer-Manager may
be deemed to be an "underwriter" for purposes of the Securities Act in
connection with this offering.
Segregation of Subscription Payments
Commencing on the effective date of this Prospectus and until subscriptions
for 12,000 Units (or 50,000 Units in the case of residents of Pennsylvania) have
been accepted by the General Partner and such subscribers have been admitted as
Limited Partners on the Initial Closing Date (or a subsequent Closing Date in
the case of Pennsylvania residents), all funds received by the Dealer-Manager
from subscriptions for Units will be placed in an escrow account, at the
Partnership's expense, with The Bank of New York (NJ) or another banking
institution designated by the General Partner, as escrow agent. Thereafter,
funds received through the Termination Date will be deposited in the Qualified
Subscription Account maintained by the Partnership.
The General Partner will promptly accept or reject subscriptions for Units
after its receipt of a prospective investor's Subscription Documents and
subscription funds. The Initial Closing Date will be as soon as practicable
after the receipt and acceptance by the Partnership of subscriptions for 12,000
Units (excluding for such purpose subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania).
Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, it is anticipated that Closings will be
held not less frequently than twice monthly (on the fifteenth and last day of
each month) and as frequently as once a week (provided the number of Units
subscribed for is sufficient to justify the burden and expense of a Closing).
Once subscriptions for a total of 50,000 Units (including subscriptions from
residents of Pennsylvania), all subscription payments then remaining in escrow
would be released from escrow and the escrow agreement would be terminated.
Thereafter subscription payments would continue to be deposited with the Bank of
New York (NJ) in a special, segregated, subscription account of the Partnership
which will be maintained during the Offering Period for the receipt and
investment of subscription payments. At each Closing, the Partnership will admit
as Limited Partners, effective as of the next day, all subscribers whose
subscriptions have been received and accepted by the Partnership and who are
then eligible to be admitted to the Partnership (e.g., Pennsylvania subscribers
are not eligible to be admitted to the Partnership prior to sale of 50,000
Units) for the funds representing such subscriptions will be released from the
escrow account or from the Partnership's segregated subscription account (as the
case may be) to the Partnership.
Interest earned, if any, on subscription funds of subscribers who are
accepted and admitted to the Partnership will be remitted to the subscribers by
the Escrow Agent or the General Partner as soon as practicable after their
admission. If 12,000 Units have not been subscribed for on or before the
anniversary of the date on the Cover of this Prospectus (which is dated as of
the Effective Date) (or, in the case of each subscriber from Pennsylvania, if
50,000 Units have not be sold within 120 days of the Escrow Agent's receipt of
such subscription, and such subscriber has been offered and has elected to
rescind his or her subscription), then the Partnership will direct the Escrow
Agent to release the applicable subscription payments from escrow and return
them promptly to the relate subscribers, together with all interest earned
thereon, in which case the Partnership will be terminated. The procedure
described in the preceding sentence will be applied to return subscription
payments (if any) which are held in the Escrow Account for twelve months from
the date of this Prospectus. In addition, any Net Proceeds from the sale of
Units in the Partnership which have not been invested or committed for
investment within two years after the Effective Date (except for Reserve and
necessary operating capital) will be returned, without interest, to the Limited
Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions. Any such
returned proceeds will include, in addition, a return of the proportionate share
of the O & O Expense Allowance, Underwriting Fees and any Sales Commissions paid
to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES - Return of Uninvested Net Proceeds."
<PAGE>
INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS;
SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES
General Suitability Considerations
Among the reasons for establishing investor suitability standards and
minimum dollar amounts of investment is that there is no public market for the
Units, which are not freely transferable, and none is expected to develop.
Accordingly, only Persons able to make a long-term investment and who have
adequate financial means and no need for liquidity with regard to their
investment should purchase Units. Investors subscribing for Units should
carefully consider the risk factors and other special considerations (including
the lack of a market for Units and the resulting long-term nature of an
investment in Units) described under "RISK FACTORS--Partnership and Investment
Risks-- Restricted Transferability and Illiquidity of Units," "TRANSFER OF
UNITS--Restrictions on the Transfer of Units" and "--Limited Right of
Presentment". An investment in Units is not appropriate for investors who must
rely on cash distributions with respect to their Units as their primary, or as
an essential, source of income to meet their necessary living expenses.
State Requirements Concerning Minimum Investment and Minimum Investor Net
Worth/Income
Minimum Investment. All Investors other than Qualified Plans and IRAs: The
minimum number of Units an investor may purchase is 25 Units (other than
residents of Nebraska, for whom the minimum investment is 50 Units). Qualified
Plans and IRAs: The minimum number of Units which a Qualified Plan and an IRA
may purchase is 10 Units (except for Qualified Plans and IRAs established by
residents of the following states: Arizona, Iowa, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas (for which the
minimum investment is 20 Units) and Iowa (for which the minimum IRA account
investment is 25 Units)).
Minimum Net Worth/Income. Except with respect to Qualified Plans and IRAs
and except for residents of states with higher suitability standards (as
described below), Units will be sold during the Offering only to an investor who
represents, in writing:
(i) that such investor has either (A) both a net worth of at least $30,000
in excess of Capital Contributions required to be made in respect of Units
subscribed for by such investor and an annual gross income of at least
$30,000, or (B) irrespective of annual gross income, a net worth of at least
$75,000 or that such investor is purchasing in a fiduciary capacity for a
Person who meets either such condition, or
(ii) that such investor satisfies the suitability standards applicable in
such investor's state of residence or domicile, if such standards are more
stringent (as listed in "--Certain State Requirements" paragraph below or in
the current Supplement to this Prospectus).
All computations of net worth for purposes of all suitability standards (whether
described above or below) exclude the value of such investor's home, home
furnishings and personal automobiles and, in connection therewith, all of such
investor's assets must be valued at their fair market value.
If an investor is a Qualified Plan or an IRA, such investor must represent
(i) that the IRA owner or the participant in the self-directed Qualified Plan
satisfies the foregoing standards, or (ii) if other than a self-directed
Qualified Plan, that the Qualified Plan satisfies the foregoing suitability
standards.
Each investor must execute a copy of the Subscription Agreement, the form of
which is included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part, or an Assignment instrument or other writing, to
evidence such investor's compliance with such standards and the requirements of
applicable laws.
Certain State Requirements. Suitability. The following States have
established more stringent investor suitability standards than those established
by the Partnership: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. Units will only be sold to residents of such jurisdictions who meet
such more stringent standards. Any proposed transferee of a Unit who is a
resident of such States must also meet such suitability standards.
Residents of the States of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming must (i) both (A) a net worth
of not less than $45,000 (determined exclusive of the net fair market value of
(a) his or her home, (b) home furnishings and (c) personal automobiles) and (B)
$45,000 of annual gross income; or (ii) a net worth of at least $150,000
(determined as above) and a subscriber (or fiduciary acting on his, her or its
behalf).
Residents of the States of Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey and North
Carolina must have either (a) annual gross income of $60,000 plus a net worth of
$60,000 or (b) a net worth of at least $225,000.
Each investor residing in Michigan or Pennsylvania, must have a net worth
(exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) equal to the greater of
(a) the net worth requirements described under "Minimum Net Worth/Income," or
(b) ten times the amount to be invested by such investor (e.g., a $200,000 net
worth in order to invest $20,000).
Legending of Unit certificates issued to residents of California. The
California Corporations Commissioner requires that certificates evidencing
ownership of Units for all Units issued, or subsequently transferred, to Persons
who are residents of, or who are either domiciled or actually present in, the
State of California, must bear the following legend restricting transfer:
"IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
INTEREST, OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION
THEREFOR,WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF
CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN THE
COMMISSIONER'S RULES."
<PAGE>
Fiduciary and Qualified Plan Subscriptions. When Units are purchased for
fiduciary accounts, such as trusts and retirement plans, the foregoing
conditions must be met either by the fiduciary account or by the Person who
directly or indirectly supplies the funds for the purchase of Units. In the case
of gifts to minors by a donor, the foregoing conditions must be met by the donor
who directly or indirectly supplies the funds for such purchase. A transferee
will be required to comply with all of the foregoing requirements as a condition
to admission as a Substitute Limited Partner.
In addition, it should be noted that an investment in the Partnership will
not, in and of itself, create an IRA or Qualified Plan and that, in order to
create an IRA or Qualified Plan, an investor must itself comply with all
applicable provisions of the Code and ERISA. IRAs or Qualified Plans, and other
tax-exempt organizations, when making a decision concerning an investment in the
Partnership, should consider the following:
(i) any income or gain realized by such entity will be "unrelated business
taxable income" and subject to the unrelated business tax;
<PAGE>
(ii) investments in the Partnership made by Qualified Plans and IRAs may
cause a pro rata portion of the Partnership's assets to be considered to be
"plan assets" with respect to such entities for purposes of ERISA and the
excise taxes imposed by Section 4975 of the Code; and
(iii) such entities, since they are exempt from federal income taxation,
will be unable to take full advantage of the tax benefits, if any, generated
by the Partnership.
See "RISK FACTORS--Federal Income Tax Risks and ERISA Matters -- Unrelated
Business Income," "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- Taxation of Employee
Benefit Plans and Other Tax-Exempt Organizations" and "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED
PLANS."
A Fiduciary or Investment Manager (as such terms are defined in Sections
3(21) and 3(38) of ERISA, respectively) of a Qualified Plan or IRA or a
fiduciary of another tax-exempt organization should consider all risks and
investment concerns, including those unrelated to tax considerations, in
deciding whether an investment in the Partnership is appropriate and
economically advantageous for a Qualified Plan or other tax-exempt organization.
See "RISK FACTORS," "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES," "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES" and "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS."
Although the General Partner believes that Units may represent suitable
investments for individuals, Qualified Plans, IRAs and many different types of
entities, Units may not be suitable investments for such entities due to tax
rules of particular application to certain types of entities. (For example, the
General Partner believes that Units will generally not be a suitable investment
for charitable remainder trusts.) Furthermore, the foregoing standards represent
minimum requirements, and a Person's satisfaction of such standards alone does
not mean that an investment in the Partnership would be suitable for such
Person. A prospective investor should consult his personal tax and financial
advisors to determine whether an investment in the Partnership would be
advantageous in light of his particular situation.
Transfer. Units are subject to substantial transfer restrictions and may be
transferred only under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions
(see "TRANSFER OF UNITS -- Restrictions of Transfer of Units"), including, among
others, that Units may be sold only to an Assignee who meets all applicable
suitability standards and any Limited Partner making an Assignment of Units may
also become subject to the securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction in
which the transfers are deemed to take place. Furthermore, following a transfer
of less than all of the Units owned by any Limited Partner, each Limited Partner
must generally retain a sufficient number of Units to satisfy the minimum
investment standards applicable to such Limited Partner's initial purchase of
Units. In the case of a transfer in which a member firm of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") is involved, such firm must be
satisfied that a proposed Assignee of Units satisfies the suitability
requirements as to financial position and net worth specified in Section 3(b) of
Appendix F to the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice and must inform the proposed
Assignee of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of
the Units during the term of any investment therein.
Subscriber Representations
By signing and initialling the blocks provided in Section 5 of the
Subscription Agreement and paying for Units, each investor makes the
representations contained such Section 5 (except as provided to the contrary
therein) and will be bound by all the terms thereof. In addition, each investor
acknowledges in his Subscription Agreement that his subscription is subject to
acceptance by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, and may be rejected
in whole or in part for any reason.
The representations made by each subscriber (except for certain of the
representations which may not be made by the residents of certain states as
noted on such Page C-4) are set forth on page C-3 of Exhibit C to this
Prospectus and confirm that each subscriber signing the Subscription Agreement:
(i) has received a copy of the Prospectus; (ii) has read the "General
Instructions" (on Page C-2) of the Subscription Agreement; (iii) that an
investment in Units is not liquid; and (iv) that the General Partner may rely
upon the accuracy of the factual data concerning such subscriber which is
contained in the Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, that (A)
if such investor is an IRA, Qualified Plan or other Benefit Plan, has accurately
identified itself as such; (B) has accurately identified himself as either a
U.S. Citizen or non-U.S. Citizen (i.e., as determined in the manner described
under "Citizenship" below) and (C) has accurately reported his federal taxpayer
identification number and is not subject to backup withholding of federal income
taxes). Specifically, by representing whether he is a United States Citizen,
Resident Alien or resident of another country, each subscriber will be deemed to
have made a representation as to whether he is or is not a "United States
Person" as defined in Section 7710(a)(30) of the Code. In addition, each
subscriber appoints the General Partner as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact
to execute such documents (including the Partnership Agreement) as may be
required for the such subscriber's admission as a Limited Partner.
<PAGE>
The Partnership will require such representations to be made by each
subscriber in order to assist NASD-registered securities sales representatives,
Selling Dealers and the Dealer-Manager to determine whether an investment in
Units is suitable for such subscriber. The General Partner will rely upon the
accuracy and completeness of the subscriber's representations in complying with
its obligations under applicable state and federal securities laws and may
assert such representations as a defense against the subscribers or securities
regulatory agencies.
Each subscriber is also instructed on Page C-2 of the Subscription Agreement
that: (a) no offer to sell Units may be made except by means of the Prospectus
and, consequently, (b) SUBSCRIBERS SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY ORAL STATEMENTS BY
ANY PERSON, OR UPON ANY WRITTEN INFORMATION OTHER THAN AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH
IN THE PROSPECTUS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO OR IN PROMOTIONAL BROCHURES CLEARLY
MARKED AS BEING PREPARED AND AUTHORIZED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER, ICON CAPITAL
CORP., OR BY THE DEALER-MANAGER, ICON SECURITIES CORP., FOR USE IN CONNECTION
WITH OFFERING OF UNITS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC BY MEANS OF THE PROSPECTUS. Each
subscriber is hereby further advised that an investment in Units of the
Partnership involves certain risks including, without limitation, the matters
set forth in this Prospectus under the captions "Risk Factors", "Conflicts of
Interest", "Management" and "Income Tax Considerations." Each subscriber is
hereby advised that the representations set forth herein do not constitute a
waiver of any of such subscriber's rights under the Delaware Limited Partnership
Act and applicable federal and state securities laws. Each subscriber is hereby
instructed that: (a) the Units are subject to substantial restrictions on
transferability; (b) there will be no public market for the Units; and (c) it
may not be possible for subscriber to readily liquidate his investment in the
Partnership, if at all, even in the event of an emergency. Any transfer of Units
is subject to the General Partner's approval and must comply with the terms of
Section 10 of the Partnership Agreement. In particular, any purchaser or
transferee must satisfy the minimum investment and investor suitability
standards for his domiciliary state. See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM
INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES". Various states may also
impose more stringent standards than the general requirements. See "INVESTOR
SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES." In
addition, the State of California has additional transfer requirements as
summarized in the following legend:
"IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN, OR TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION THEREFOR, WITHOUT THE PRIOR
WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN THE COMMISSIONER'S RULES."
Each subscriber's acknowledgement that he has received this Prospectus and
the instruction that he should rely on no information other than that contained
in this Prospectus, are required in order that the General Partner may make an
informed judgment as to whether it should accept such subscriber's offer to
subscribe for Units. The General Partner recognizes that in the sales process of
this Offering a potential subscriber will usually discuss the Partnership with
his registered representative. It is possible that a subscriber may
misunderstand what he is told or that someone might tell him something different
from, or contrary to, the information contained in this Prospectus.
Additionally, a subscriber might be relying on something he read or heard from
sources for which the neither the Dealer-Manager nor the General Partner is
responsible, over which they have no control and which contradicts the data and
information contained in this Prospectus. If a subscriber becomes a Limited
Partner and later makes claims against the Partnership, the Dealer Manager
and/or the General Partner alleging that he did not receive a Prospectus for
this Offering or that although he did receive a Prospectus, he relied upon
information that is contradictory to that disclosed in this Prospectus, then the
Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the General Partner anticipate that they
will rely upon the acknowledgement and receipt of this Prospectus and the
instruction concerning non-reliance on any offering material other than this
Prospectus as evidence that such subscriber did, in fact, receive a Prospectus
and that such subscriber was properly notified that he should not rely upon any
information other than the information disclosed in this Prospectus.
The General Instructions on Page C-2 also ask a potential investor to review
the disclosure in this Prospectus concerning certain conflicts of interest faced
by the Partnership's management and certain risks involved in an investment in
the Partnership and that any federal income tax benefits which may be available
as a result of such purchase may be adversely affected as set forth in this
Prospectus under the captions "Risk Factors," "Conflicts of Interest,"
"Management" and "Income Tax Considerations". Such instruction has been included
because, since the investment involves inherent conflicts of interest and risks
as disclosed in this Prospectus, the General Partner does not intend to admit a
subscriber as a Limited Partner unless it has reason to believe that the
investor is aware of the risks involved with an investment in the Partnership.
If a subscriber becomes a Limited Partner and later makes claims against the
Partnership, the Dealer Manager and/or the General Partner to the effect that he
was not aware that an investment in the Partnership involved the inherent risks
described in this Prospectus, the Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the
General Partner anticipate that they will rely upon this instruction as evidence
that such subscriber had been aware of the degree of risks involved in an
investment in the Partnership for the reasons set forth in this Prospectus under
"Risk Factors."
Each Selling Dealer must countersign each Subscription Agreement for
subscribers solicited by such firm. By such signature, each Selling Dealer
selling Units to a subscriber certifies that it has obtained information from
the subscriber sufficient to enable it to determine that the subscriber has
satisfied the suitability standards named thereon. Since the Partnership, the
Dealer Manager and the General Partner will not have had the opportunity to
obtain such information directly from the subscriber, the General Partner will
rely on such representation so as to determine whether to admit a subscriber to
the Partnership as a Limited Partner. If a subscriber becomes a Limited Partner
and later makes claims against the Partnership, the Dealer Manager and/or the
General Partner alleging that the Units sold to him were not a suitable
investment for him because he did not meet the financial requirements contained
in the investor suitability standards, the Partnership, the Dealer Manager and
the General Partner anticipate that they will rely upon such representation as
evidence that such subscriber met such financial requirements.
The representation that a subscriber has agreed to all the terms and
conditions of the Partnership Agreement is necessary because the General Partner
and each Limited Partner are bound by all of the terms and conditions there of,
notwithstanding that the Limited Partners do not actually sign the Partnership
Agreement. Since the Partnership Agreement is not actually signed by each
subscriber but pursuant to powers of attorney granted in the Subscription
Agreement, the General Partner thereby obligates each subscriber to each of the
terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. If a subscriber becomes a
Limited Partner and later makes claims against the Partnership, the Dealer
Manager and/or the General Partner that he did not agree to be bound by all of
the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, the
Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the General Partner anticipate that they
will rely upon such representation and the power of attorney as evidence of the
subscriber's agreement to be bound by all the terms of such agreement.
Citizenship
Federal law restricts the extent to which aircraft and marine vessels which
are to be registered in the United States may be owned or controlled by Persons
who are not United States Citizens. For these purposes, "United States Citizens"
is defined to include (i) individuals who are citizens of the United States or
one of its possessions, (ii) partnerships in which each partner is an individual
who is a citizen of the United States, in the case of aircraft, or in which at
least 75% of the equity in the partnership is held by citizen of the United
States, in the case of vessels, (iii) certain trusts the trustees of which are
citizens of the United States (provided that, in the case of aircraft, persons
who are not citizens of the United States or resident aliens do not possess more
than 35% of the aggregate power to direct or remove the trustee, and in the case
of vessels, each of the beneficiaries of the trust is a citizen of the United
States), and (iv) domestic corporations of which the president (and the chairman
of the board of directors, in the case of vessels) and two-thirds or more of the
members of the board of directors and other managing officers are citizens of
the United States and in which at least 75% of the voting interest (or, in the
case of certain vessels, a majority voting interest) is owned or controlled by
Persons who are citizens of the United States.
As a consequence of those rules, the Partnership may cause title to certain
aircraft and vessels to be held by a trust of which the Partnership is the sole
beneficiary or by a limited partnership beneficially owned by the Partnership.
See "RISK FACTORS -- Business Risks - Risk of Loss of Equipment Registration."
In addition, each investor will be required to represent and warrant whether or
not the investor is a United States Citizen, and subscriptions will be accepted
from only a limited number of Persons who are not United States Citizens. See
"PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION -- Offering of Units." The General Partner will not admit
a non-United States Citizen as if such admission would result in the potential
invalidation of Equipment registration. See "RISK FACTORS -- General -- Limited
Transferability of Units."
Special Limit on Ownership of Units by Benefit Plans
To avoid classification of a pro rata portion of the Partnership's
underlying assets as "plan assets" of investors which are benefit plan
investors, the Partnership intends to restrict the ownership of Units by benefit
plan investors to less than 25% of the total value of outstanding Units at all
times. (See "INVESTMENT BY QUALIFIED PLANS -- Plan Assets.")
Minimum Investment and Suitability Standards
Each Selling Dealer Agreement and the Dealer-Manager Agreement each requires
that the broker-dealer selling Units in the Partnership make diligent inquiry,
as required by law, of each prospective investor to determine whether a purchase
of Units is suitable for such Person in light of his circumstances and, if so
and upon receipt of a subscription for Units, to promptly transmit to the
General Partner all Subscription Monies and duly executed Subscription
Agreements and related documents received by them.
To demonstrate that its registered representative has complied with Sections
3(b) and 4(d) of Appendix F of Article III, Section 34 of the NASD Rules of Fair
Practice in connection with the offering of Units to an investor, each Selling
Dealer is required to countersign each Subscription Agreement solicited by its
registered representative to confirm that such Selling Dealer had reasonable
grounds to believe (based on information requested from the investor concerning
investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, as well
as any other information known to such registered representative) that (i) the
proposed investment in the Partnership is suitable for such investor, (ii) such
Selling Dealer or registered representative had delivered a copy of this
Prospectus to the investor at the time of or prior to solicitation of the
subscription, (iii) such Selling Dealer or registered representative has
informed the investor of the lack of liquidity and marketability of the
investment and (4) such Selling Dealer or registered representative has
confirmed that the investor's signature or the signature of the authorized
Person appears on the subscribing document where required.
How to Subscribe
An investor who meets the suitability standards set forth above may
subscribe to acquire Units. Subscribers must personally execute the Subscription
Agreement and deliver to a securities sales representative a check for all
Subscription Monies payable in connection with such subscription, made payable
as provided in the next paragraph, in order to subscribe for Units. In the case
of IRA, SEP and Keogh plan owners, both such owners and the plan fiduciary (if
any) must sign the Subscription Agreement. In the case of donor trusts or other
trusts in which the donor is the fiduciary, such donor must sign the
subscription agreement. In the case of other fiduciary accounts in which the
donor neither exercises control over, nor is a fiduciary, the plan fiduciary
alone may sign the Subscription Agreement.
Until subscriptions for 50,000 Units are received by the Partnership, checks
for the payment of Subscription Monies should be made payable to "The Bank of
New York (NJ) -- ICON L.P. Seven Escrow Account" for deposit into such Escrow
Account. After the Initial Closing Date, checks for the payment of Subscription
Monies should be made payable to "ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
Subscription Account" for deposit into a Qualified Subscription Account.
The General Partner will promptly review, and accept or reject (in its sole
and absolute discretion), each subscription. Investors whose subscriptions are
accepted by the General Partner will receive prompt written confirmation of such
acceptance from the General Partner or its agents.
The General Partner and any Affiliate of the General Partner and the Selling
Dealers (and their respective officers and employees) will have the right, but
not the obligation, to subscribe for and purchase Units for their own account
for investment purposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein,
including purchases of Units on or before the Initial Closing Date, which will
count, to the extent of 600 Units, toward the achievement of the Minimum
Offering. All Units purchased by such parties will be purchased solely for
investment purposes and not with a present view towards resale or distribution.
The General Partner and its Affiliates (and their respective officers and
employees) may not purchase more than ten (10%) percent of all Units subscribed
for by all non-Affiliated Persons.
The NASD's Rules of Fair Practice require that any member of, or Person
associated with, the Dealer-Manager or a Selling Dealer who sells or offers to
sell Units must make every reasonable effort to assure that such potential
subscriber is a suitable investor for a Partnership investment in light of such
subscriber's age, education level, knowledge of investments, need for liquidity,
net worth and other pertinent factors and further requires each selling broker
and each subscriber to make such determination of suitability. The State of
Maine requires us to inform you that the Dealer-Manager and each Person selling
Units cannot rely upon representations made by a subscriber in a Subscription
Agreement alone in making a determination of the suitability of the investment
for such subscriber.
Admission of Partners; Closings
Subscribers will be admitted to the Partnership as Limited Partners, and
will for all purposes of this Agreement become and be treated as Limited
Partners, as of the first day immediately following the Initial Closing Date or
the Final Closing Date or as of the first day of the Segment immediately
following any subsequent Closing Date (other than the Final Closing Date), as
the case may be, next following the acceptance of their subscriptions by the
General Partner and the receipt by the General Partner of all Subscription
Monies payable in connection therewith. Upon the determination by the General
Partner that the Minimum Offering has been achieved, the General Partner will
set the Initial Closing Date. Following the Initial Closing Date, a Closing may
be held on the last day of any Segment (or, if such day is not a business day,
on the next preceding business day), provided that no Closing will be required
to be held on such last day of any Segment (or the next preceding business day)
if the number of Units subscribed for but as to which the subscribers have not
been admitted to the Partnership as Limited Partners as of such date is
insufficient, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to
justify the administrative burden and expense of holding a Closing, and
provided, further, that the Final Closing Date may, in the sole and absolute
discretion of the General Partner, be held on a day other than the last day of a
Segment, as promptly as practicable after the Termination Date.
SALES MATERIAL
In addition to and apart from this Prospectus, the Partnership will utilize
certain sales material in connection with the offering of Units. This material
may include reports describing the General Partner and its Affiliates, summary
descriptions of Investments (including, without limitation, pictures of
Equipment or facilities of Lessees), materials discussing the Prior Programs and
a brochure and audio-visual materials or taped presentations highlighting
various features of this Offering. The General Partner and its Affiliates may
also respond to specific questions from Selling Dealers and prospective
investors. Business reply cards, introductory letters or similar materials may
be sent to Selling Dealers for customer use, and other information relating to
this Offering may be made available to Selling Dealers for their internal use.
However, this Offering is made only by means of this Prospectus. Except as
described herein or in Supplements hereto, the Partnership has not authorized
the use of other sales materials in connection with this Offering. Although the
information contained in such material does not conflict with any of the
information contained in this Prospectus, such material does not purport to be
complete and should not be considered as a part of this Prospectus or the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, or as incorporated in
this Prospectus or the Registration Statement by reference or as forming the
basis of this Offering of the Units described herein.
No dealer, salesman or other Person has been authorized to give any
information or to make any representations other than those contained in this
Prospectus or in Supplements hereto or in supplemental sales literature issued
by the Partnership and described in this Prospectus or in Supplements hereto,
and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied
upon. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of
an offer to buy, any securities other than the Units to which it relates or any
of such Units to any Person in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is
unlawful. The delivery of this Prospectus at any time does not imply that the
information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to its date.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
(the "Partnership") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair statement of income for each period shown.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information represented not misleading. The results for the interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. 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 currently on lease to Federal Express. 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 of $8,756,291.
On December 31, 1996 the Partnership acquired, subject to a leveraged
lease, the residual interest in an aircraft. The aircraft is a 1976 McDonnell
Douglas DC-10-30 currently on lease to Continental Airlines. 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.
The net investment in leveraged leases as of March 31, 1997 consisted of the
following:
Non-cancelable minimum rents receivable (net of
principal and interest on non-recourse debt) $ 910,000
Estimated unguaranteed residual values 24,818,000
Initial direct costs 1,428,392
Unearned income (16,858,255)
----------------
$ 10,298,137
Unearned income is recognized from leveraged leases over the life of the
lease at a constant rate of return on the positive net investment.
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.

============ ============
On March 11, 1997, the Partnership borrowed $4,250,000 from ICON
Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997- A"), an affiliate of the Partnership (see Note
4). This is a short term note, which bears interest at the rate of Libor plus
1.5% and is paid from the Partnership's share of cash flow and securitization
proceeds from the equipment lease and finance receivables.
4. Investment in Joint Venture
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 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, $5,794,273 and $6,712,631
in equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value
of $5,465,238, $4,874,857 and $5,553,962, respectively to ICON Receivables
1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created by the Members. The
Members received a 34.39%, 30.67% and 34.94% 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 accounts for its investment in 1997- A under the equity method.

General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
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 $2,636,795.17
of capital contributions. Through March 31, 1997, 305,053.03 additional units
were subscribed to, bringing the total units and capital subscriptions to
331,420.98 and $33,142,098, respectively.
The Partnership's portfolio consisted of a net investment in finance
leases, leveraged leases, equity investment in joint venture and financings
representing 78%, 14%, 7% and 1% of total investments at March 31, 1997,
respectively and 95%, 0%, 0% and 5% at March 31, 1996, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership
leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $44,009,376 and
$4,894,1546, respectively to 15 and 9 lessees or equipment users respectively.
The weighted average initial transaction term for each year was 44 and 38 months
respectively.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,558,019,
representing an increase of $1,482,884 from 1996. The increase in revenues
resulted primarily from an increase in finance income of $1,050,175, an increase
in income from leveraged leases of $380,630, an increase in net gain on sales or
remarketing of equipment of $32,891 and an increase in income from equity
investment in joint venture of $20,808. These increases were partially offset by
a decrease in interest income and other of $1,620. The increase in finance
income resulted from the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1996
to 1997. Income from leveraged leases, and income from equity investment in
joint venture increased due to the Partnership's increased investment in these
types of transactions. The net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
increased due to the early termination of a financing transaction. Interest
income and other decreased due to a decrease in the average cash balance from
1996 to 1997.
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,432,476,
representing an increase of $1,364,200 from 1996. The increase in expenses was
due to an increase in interest expense of $539,644, an increase in management
fees of $344,041, an increase in amortization of initial direct costs of
$301,372, an increase in administrative expense reimbursements of $145,296, an
increase in general and administrative expense of $32,753 and an increase in
minority interest in joint venture of $1,094. Interest expense increased due to
an increase in the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. Management fees,
amortization of initial direct costs, administrative expense reimbursement and
general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in the average
size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$125,543 and $6,859, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $0.40 and $0.15, respectively.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 were capital contributions, net of offering expenses, of
$4,833,663 and $7,740,504, from limited partners, respectively, net cash
provided by operations of $256,944 in 1996, proceeds from sale of equipment of
$1,793,586 in 1997 and proceeds from affiliate note of $4,250,000 in 1997. These
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 March
31, 1997 and 1996, which were paid monthly, totaled $767,568 and $48,957,
respectively, of which $124,288 and $6,790 was investment income and $643,280
and $42,167 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distributions rate to limited partners was 9.8% and 4.4% of which 1.6% and .6%
was investment income and 8.2% and 3.8% was a return of capital, respectively.
The limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $2.45 and $1.09, respectively, of
which $.40 and $.15 was investment income and $2.05 and $.94 was a return of
capital, respectively.
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, $5,794,273 and $6,712,631
in equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value
of $5,465,238, $4,874,857 and $5,553,962, respectively to ICON Receivables
1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created by the Members. The
Members received a 34.39%, 30.67% and 34.94% 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 accounts for its investment in 1997-A under the equity method.
As of March 31, 1997, 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 where it deems it to be prudent while retaining sufficient cash to
meet its reserve requirements and recurring obligations as they become due.

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,

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

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."
9. Related Party Transactions

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.
11. Tax Information (Unaudited)

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.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
December 31, 1997
General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
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. 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.
The Partnership's portfolio consisted of net investments in finance
leases, equity investment, leveraged leases and financings representing 42%,
26%, 21% and 11% of total investments at December 31, 1996, respectively.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1996
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership leased or financed
equipment with an initial cost of $91,413,135 to 198 lessees or equipment users.
On December 31, 1996, the Partnership and an affiliate, ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P., Series E ("Series E"), formed a joint venture for the purpose of acquiring
and managing an aircraft currently on lease to Continental Airlines, Inc. in the
amount of $10,905,228 and is included in 1996 total acquisitions. The aircraft
is a 1976 McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30. Series E and the Partnership contributed
$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.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1997
(1) Organization
ICON Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1985. Until August
20, 1996, the Company was owned by Peter D. Beekman, the Company's former
President and Charles Duggan and Cortes DeRussy, the Company's former
Executive Vice Presidents. On August 20, 1996, ICON Holdings Corp.
("Holdings" or the "Parent") acquired all of the outstanding stock of the
Company, as well as all of the outstanding stock of ICON Securities Corp.
("Securities"), an affiliated company. Holdings is a joint venture fifty
percent owned by Summit Asset Holding L.L.C., a subsidiary of a diversified
financial and business services group based in the United Kingdom and fifty
percent owned by Warrenton Capital Partners L.L.C. ("Warrenton"), which was
formed by two of the founders of Griffin Equity Partners, Inc., a U.S.
company engaged in the acquisition of leases and lease portfolios. The
primary activity of the Company is the development, marketing and
management of publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships.
The Company also provides consulting services to unrelated parties in
connection with the acquisition and administration of lease transactions.
The Company is the general partner and manager of ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P.,Series A ("ICON Cash Flow A"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series B
("ICON Cash Flow B"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series C ("ICON Cash
Flow C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series D ("ICON Cash Flow D"),
ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("ICON Cash Flow E") , ICON Cash
Flow Partners L.P. Six ("ICON Cash Flow Six") and ICON Cash Flow Partners
L.P. Seven ("ICON Cash Flow Seven") (collectively the "Partnerships"),
which are publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships. The
Partnerships were formed for the purpose of acquiring equipment and leasing
such equipment to third parties. The Company's investments in the
Partnerships of $7,000 are carried at cost and are included in prepaid and
other assets.
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships on the sale of Partnership
units. Additionally, the Company also earns acquisition and management fees
and shares in Partnership cash distributions. ICON Cash Flow Seven, the
newest partnership, was formed on May 23, 1995 with an initial capital
contribution of $1,000 and began offering its units to suitable investors
on November 9, 1995. The Company earned fees from the sale of ICON Cash
Flow Seven units upon its initial closing and will continue to earn fees
thereafter on each subsequent closing. The offering period for ICON Cash
Flow Seven will end 24 months after the Partnership began offering such
units, November 9, 1997.
The following table identifies pertinent offering information by the
Partnerships:

(2) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The Company's financial
statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis of
accounting using 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.
(b) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No.
107"), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The fair
value of the Company's financial instruments (cash and receivables)
approximate the carry value at March 31, 1997.
(c) Revenue and Cost Recognition
Income Fund Fees:
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships for the organization and
offering of each Partnership and for the acquisition, management and
administration of their lease portfolios. Organization and offering
fees are earned based on investment units sold and are recognized at
each closing. Acquisition fees are earned based on the purchase price
paid or the principal amount of each transaction entered into.
Management and administrative fees are earned for actively managing the
leasing, re-leasing, financing and refinancing of Partnership equipment
and financing transactions and for the administration of the
Partnerships. Management and administrative fees are earned based
primarily on gross rental payments.
The Company had accounts receivable due from the Partnerships of
$1,323,502 and $2,023,380 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Included in these amounts are receivables of $758,452 and $667,824,
respectively, due from ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash
Flow C relating to management fees which have been earned, but deferred
since September 1, 1993, as discussed below.
<PAGE>
ICON CAPITAL CORP.
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
Under the Partnership agreements, the Company is entitled to management
fees from the Partnerships. Management fees are subordinate to the
preferred cash distributions to limited partners, on a cumulative
basis, during the period of reinvestment. Effective September 1, 1993,
ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B, and ICON Cash Flow C decreased the
monthly distribution rate to limited partners from the cash
distribution rates stated in their prospectuses. Currently such
distribution rates are at an annual rate of 9%. As a result of the
decreased distribution rate, all management fees payable to the Company
related to these entities have been deferred until the limited partners
of ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C have
received their stated cash distribution rate of return on a cumulative
basis. Management fees deferred for the period September 1, 1993 to
March 31, 1997 totaled $758,452 and were comprised of $36,263 for ICON
Cash Flow A, $127,000 for ICON Cash Flow B and $595,189 for ICON Cash
Flow C. Such amounts are included in receivables due from managed
income funds as well as in deferred management fees on the March 31,
1997 balance sheet.
Lease Consulting Fees:
The Company earns consulting fees for arranging lease financing
transactions between unrelated third parties. Such fees are recognized
as income when the unrelated third parties consummate the lease
financing transaction.
(d) Deferred Charges
Under the terms of the Partnerships' agreements, the Company is
entitled to be reimbursed for the costs of organizing and offering the
units of the Partnerships from the gross proceeds raised, subject to
certain limitations, based on the number of investment units sold. The
unamortized balance of these costs are included on the balance sheets
as deferred charges and are being amortized over the offering period.
(e) Fixed Assets and Leasehold Improvements
Fixed assets, which consist primarily of computer equipment, software
and furniture and fixtures, are recorded at cost and are being
depreciated over three to five years using the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are also recorded at cost and are being
amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements, or the
term of the lease, if shorter, using the straight-line method.
(f) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease
The Company's investment in equipment under operating lease was
recorded at cost and the equipment was being depreciated to estimated
salvage value. Both lease rentals and depreciation were recognized on
the straight line basis over the lease term. The Company, on a
non-recourse basis, financed the purchase of the equipment with a
financial institution. Interest on the related non-recourse financing
was calculated under the interest method. The excess of rental income
over depreciation and related interest expense represents the net
amount earned under this transaction. The lease terminated in fiscal
1997 and a gain of $1,694 was recognized on disposition.

(g) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes following the liability
method as provided for in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 109 (" SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes."
The Company will file stand alone Federal and state income tax returns
for the period April 1, 1996 to August 20, 1996. Thereafter the
Company's activity will be included in the combined Federal and state
income tax returns of Holdings.
(3) Stockholder's Equity
As of March 31, 1997, Holdings had an outstanding demand promissory note
for $1,100,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 18% only in the
event of default. The note is reflected, for financial statement reporting
purposes, as a reduction from stockholders' equity.
(4) Related Party Transactions
The Company earns fees from the Partnerships for the organization and
offering of each Partnership and for the acquisition, management and
administration of their lease portfolios. Receivables from managed income
funds primarily relate to such fees earned from the Partnerships. The
Company also earns a management fee from Securities for the support and
administration of Securities' operations. Receivables from affiliates are
due from entities controlled by Holdings. These receivables relate
primarily to the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Company on behalf of
such entities.
In 1996, pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the limited partners in ICON
Cash Flow B agreed to the following two amendments to their Partnership
Agreement: (1) extend the Reinvestment Period for a maximum of four
additional years, and (2) eliminate ICON Cash Flow B's obligation to pay
the Company $228,906 of the $355,906 in deferred management fees which were
outstanding as of November 15, 1995, the original end of the Reinvestment
Period. The elimination of these fees reduced receivables from related
parties - managed income funds and deferred management fees - related
parties in the same amount. In addition, the remaining $127,000 in deferred
management fees, when paid to the Company, would be returned to ICON Cash
Flow B in the form of an additional capital contribution.
For the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company paid $3,633,416 in
distributions to Holdings.
5) Prepaid and Other Assets
Included in prepaid and other assets are unamortized insurance costs, the
Company's investment in the Partnerships and sublease receivables.

respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $347,155 and $1,104,133,
respectively for March 31, 1997 and 1996. Deferred income taxes at March

carrying value of fixed assets, equipment under an operating lease, the
investments in the Partnerships, and deferred charges.

(8) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease
On December 12, 1993, the Company invested $5,340,436 in manufacturing
equipment and leased such equipment to a third party user for a two year
period with rent commencing on January 1, 1994. Rentals were payable
monthly in advance. Simultaneously with the purchase of the equipment, the
Company, on a non-recourse basis, obtained $5,393,840 in financing from a
financial institution, of which $5,340,436 of such proceeds were paid
directly to the equipment vendor to satisfy the cost of the equipment. The
excess of the proceeds from the financing over the cost of the equipment,
$53,404, was paid directly to the Company and was earned over the two year
period of the lease. All rental payments by the lessee were paid directly
to the financial institution. The original non-recourse financing bore
interest at a rate of 6.6%, and was paid in 24 monthly installments of
$55,097 through December 1995, with a final payment of $4,699,584 due in
January 1996.
Effective January 1, 1996, the lessee renewed the lease and the bank
extended the term of the collateralized non-recourse note. The terms of the
renewal required monthly rentals of $171,294, payable by the lessee in
advance, for two years. Such rental payments continued to be paid directly
to the financial institution to reduce the loan, with interest now
calculated at 8.95%. The lease terminated in fiscal 1997 and a gain of
$1,694 was recognized on disposition.

$27,344 in interest on recourse financing, respectively.
Certain equipment, which the Company was carrying as investment in
equipment under operating lease, was paid for directly by a financing
institution. In connection with this transaction, the lessee's monthly
installments were remitted directly to the financing institution to

to be held on such last day of any Segment (or the next preceding business day)
if the number of Units subscribed for but as to which the subscribers have not
been admitted to the Partnership as Limited Partners as of such date is

justify the administrative burden and expense of holding a Closing, and
provided, further, that the Final Closing Date may, in the sole and absolute
discretion of the General Partner, be held on a day other than the last day of a
Segment, and shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Termination

following each Closing Date (and, in any event, within 5 business days
thereafter), the General Partner shall amend Schedule A to this Agreement to
reflect the name, address and Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner
admitted to the Partnership as a result of such Closing; provided that any
failure so to amend such Schedule A following any Closing Date shall not in any
way affect the admission of any Limited Partner to the Partnership for all
purposes of this Agreement if such Limited Partner was duly and properly

all funds in respect of Units for which subscriptions have been received

Closing, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be released to the
Partnership. Any interest earned on such Subscription Monies prior to such
release shall be paid to such Limited Partner promptly after such Closing Date.

Minimum Offering, all Subscription Monies deposited by any subscriber shall be
returned, together with any interest earned thereon and without deduction for
any Front-End Fees, to such subscriber. Furthermore, any Subscription Monies
deposited by any subscriber who is not accepted by the General Partner to become
a Limited Partner shall be promptly returned, together with any interest earned
thereon and without deduction for any Front-End Fees, to such subscriber. In no

Interests were acquired.
(f) If an Interest is sold or otherwise transferred, the Capital Account
of the transferor with respect to such Interest shall carry over to the
transferee in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). However,
if the transfer causes a termination of the Partnership under Code Section
708(b)(1)(B), the Capital Account that carries over to the transferee will be
adjusted in accordance with the constructive liquidation and reconstitution
rules under Treas. Reg. Section 1.708-1.

extent this Agreement is silent as to the treatment of a particular item. In the
event Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) shall fail to provide guidance as to
how adjustments to the Capital Accounts should be made to reflect particular

Account adjustments shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the

may engage and retain attorneys, accountants or brokers to the extent that, in
the judgment of the General Partner, their professional services are required
during the term of the Partnership, as well as employ the services of its
Affiliates to assist the General Partner in its managerial duties, and may
compensate all such Persons from the assets of the Partnership at rates which
it, in its sole judgment, deems fair and reasonable; provided that (i) the
compensation, price or fee payable to any of its Affiliates shall not exceed an
amount which is comparable and competitive with the compensation, price or fee
which would be charged by non-Affiliates to render comparable services which
could reasonably be made available to the Partnership upon comparable terms;
(ii) all services for which the Sponsor is to receive compensation from the
Partnership (other than as provided in Section 6.4 hereof) shall be embodied in
a written contract which (A) precisely describes the services to be rendered and
all compensation to be paid therefor and (B) is terminable by either party
without penalty on 60 days notice; (iii) the compensation, price and fees and
other terms of any such contract shall be fully disclosed in the prospectus as
the Effective Date; and (iv) the Sponsor must, at the time such services are to
be rendered, be engaged in the business of providing such services to
non-Affiliates and derive at least 75% of its gross revenues for such services
therefrom. Any such contract may only be amended in a manner which is either
more favorable to the Sponsor or less favorable to the Partnership by the vote
or consent of a Majority Interest of the Limited Partners. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the General Partner shall possess and enjoy with
respect to the Partnership all of the rights and powers of a partner of a
partnership without limited partners to the extent permitted by Delaware law.

Partnership and so as, consistent therewith, to protect the interests of
the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall have responsibility as a
fiduciary for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the

General Partner shall not abdicate or ignore its fiduciary duty to the
Partnership.
(ii) Amplification of Powers. In amplification, and not by way of
limitation, of the powers of the General Partner expressed herein, the
General Partner shall have, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
full power and authority, as herein provided or as provided in the
Delaware Act, on behalf of the Partnership, in order to carry out and
accomplish its purposes and functions: (A) to expend Partnership capital
and income; (B) to purchase, lease, license, sell, exchange, improve,

to, common and preferred stock, debentures, bonds and other securities of
every kind and nature), and, in connection therewith, to execute, deliver,
amend, modify and cancel documents and instruments relating to real and
personal property of whatever kind and description, including, but not
limited to, mortgages, leases and other documents of title or conveyance,
assumption agreements pertaining to such agreements, powers of attorney
and other contracts, instruments and agreements of all kinds and to employ

such other consultants, advisors, artisans and workmen as may be necessary
or advisable, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner,
for all such purposes; (C) to invest any and all funds held by the

Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement; (D) to designate depositories of the
Partnership's funds, and the terms and conditions of such deposits and
drawings thereon; (E) to borrow money or otherwise to procure extensions
of credit for the Partnership (except that neither the Partnership nor the
Sponsor shall borrow money solely for the purpose of making First Cash
Distributions which the Partnership would otherwise be unable to make)
and, in connection therewith, to execute, seal, acknowledge and deliver
agreements, promissory notes, guarantees and other written documents
constituting obligations or evidences of indebtedness and to pledge,
hypothecate, mortgage, assign, transfer or convey mortgages or security

therefor; (F) to hold all or any portion of the Investments and other
assets of the Partnership in the name of one or more trustees, nominees,

to take all such actions and execute all such documents and other
instruments as the General Partner may deem necessary, convenient or
advisable to accomplish or further the purposes of the Partnership or to
protect and preserve Partnership assets to the same extent as if the
General Partner were itself the owner thereof.
(iii) Admission of Limited Partners. The General Partner shall have
the right to accept or refuse to accept, in its sole and absolute
discretion, the admission of any Limited Partner (including any Substitute
Limited Partner and the General Partner and any Affiliate of the General
Partner) to the Partnership; provided, however, that the General Partner
shall not admit any Person as a Limited Partner (except the Original
Limited Partner) unless:
(A) such Person shall agree, in writing, to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement;
(B) such Person shall represent, in writing, that such Person is or
is not a United States Person, as the case may be;
(C) prior to the admission of such Person, the Minimum
Offering shall have been achieved;
(D) the General Partner shall believe that such Person is "suitable"
in all respects under the laws of the state in which such Person
resides;
(E) the General Partner shall have no reason to believe that the
admission of such Person to the Partnership (1) would cause the
Partnership to lose its Partnership status for federal income tax
purposes, (2) would disqualify the Partnership to engage or to
continue to engage in any business which it is otherwise eligible to
transact or (3) would cause an impermissible percentage of Units to
be owned by non-United States citizens for purposes of any applicable
title registration law; and
(F) such admission would not cause the "equity
participation" in the Partnership by "benefit plan
investors" (both within the meaning of DOL Reg. Section
2510.3-101(f)) to equal or exceed 25%.
In connection with such right, the General Partner shall have the
authority to do all things necessary or advisable, in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner, to effect the admission of the
Limited Partners, including, but not limited to, (x) registering the Units
under the Securities Act and (y) effecting the qualification of, or
obtaining exemptions from the qualification of, the Units for sale with
state securities regulatory authorities.

each a "Selling Dealer Agreement"), with NASD-member broker dealers
selected by the General Partner or the Dealer-Manager (the "Selling
Dealers" and each a "Selling Dealer").
(vi) Authority to Enter Into Escrow Agreement. The General Partner
shall have the authority to enter into, on behalf of the Partnership, the
Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, with the Escrow Agent, pursuant to which, among
other things, the Escrow Agent shall agree to act as the Escrow Agent with
respect to all Subscription Monies received prior to the Initial Closing
Date and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive for its services in
such capacity such compensation as the General Partner may deem reasonable
under the circumstances, which compensation shall be deemed to be and
shall constitute an Organization and Offering Expense payable by the
General Partner.
(vii) Reserves. The General Partner shall initially establish for the
Partnership, and shall use its best efforts to maintain, Reserves, of
which an amount not in excess of 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds may be
treated as having been invested or committed to investment for purposes of
Section 8.6 of this Agreement. Reserves, once expended, need not be
restored, provided, however, that any such Reserves that are restored in
the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner shall be restored
from Cash From Operations.
(viii) Insurance. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to
purchase and maintain such insurance policies as the General Partner deems
reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Partnership (to the
extent that such policies are not maintained by Lessees, Users or other
Persons for the benefit of the Partnership). The General Partner is
authorized, on behalf of the Partnership, to purchase and pay the premiums

coverage liability and casualty and workers' compensation, as would be
customary for any Person owning comparable property and engaged in a
similar business, and the General Partner and any Affiliate of the General
Partner and their respective employees and agents may be named as
additional insured parties thereunder, provided the cost of premiums
payable by the Partnership is not increased thereby. Notwithstanding the

portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability the
indemnification of which is prohibited by Section 6.3 of this Agreement.
(ix) Commission Loans. The General Partner may incur Indebtedness on
behalf of the Partnership in an amount up to the total Sales Commissions

operating expense of the Partnership.
(x) Reinvestment. During the Reinvestment Period, the Partnership may
reinvest all or a substantial portion of its Cash From Operations and Cash
From Sales in additional Investments in furtherance of, and consistent
with, the Partnership's purposes and investment objectives set forth in

lessee, licensee, purchaser, mortgagee, grantee or otherwise, shall be required
to investigate the authority of the General Partner in selling, assigning,
leasing, licensing, mortgaging, conveying or otherwise dealing with any
Investments or other assets or any part thereof, nor shall any such assignee,
lessee, purchaser, licensee, mortgagee, grantee or other Person entering into a
contract with the Partnership be required to inquire as to whether the approval
of the Partners for any such assignment, lease, license, sale, mortgage,
transfer or other transaction has been first obtained. Any such Person shall be
conclusively protected in relying upon a certificate of authority or of any
other material fact signed by the General Partner, or in accepting any

prohibit any increase in Acquisition Fees and Management Fees otherwise

the making of such Partnership Loan.
If the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner purchases
Equipment in its own name and with its own funds in order to facilitate
ultimate purchase by the Partnership, the General Partner or such
Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have made a Partnership

Partner and its Affiliates; Indemnification.
(a) The General Partner, and any Affiliate engaged in the performance of
services on behalf of the Partnership (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an
"Indemnitee"), shall, except as provided to the contrary in this Section 6.3,
(i) be indemnified by the Partnership from assets of the Partnership (and not by
the Limited Partners) for any liability, loss, cost and expense of litigation
(collectively referred to herein as "Liabilities") suffered by such Indemnitee,
and (ii) have no liability, responsibility, or accountability in damages or
otherwise to the Partnership or any Partner for any loss suffered by the
Partnership or any Partner, which arises out of any action or inaction of such
Indemnitee if (A) the General Partner has determined, in good faith, that such
course of conduct was in the best interests of the Partnership and (B) such
course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct by such
Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be liable,
responsible and accountable, and the Partnership shall not be liable to any such
Indemnitee for any portion of such Liabilities, which resulted from such
Indemnitee's own fraud, negligence, misconduct or, if applicable, breach of
fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any Partner, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Subject to Section 6.3(c) hereof, if any action, suit,
or proceeding shall be pending against the Partnership or an Indemnitee which is
alleged to relate to, or arise out of, any action or inaction of the General
Partner or any Affiliate, the Partnership shall have the right to employ, at the
expense of the Partnership, separate counsel of its choice in such action, suit,
or proceeding.
Any amounts payable by the Partnership to an Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 6.3 shall be recoverable only out of the assets of the Partnership and
no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof. The
Partnership shall not incur or assume the cost of that portion of liability
insurance which insures the General Partner or any Affiliate for any liability
as to which the General Partner or such Affiliate is prohibited from being
indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.3.
(b) The Partnership shall not furnish indemnification to an Indemnitee or
to any person acting as a Selling Dealer for any Liabilities imposed by a
judgment in a suit arising from or out of a violation of federal or state
securities laws unless (i)(A) there has been a successful adjudication on the
merits in favor of such Indemnitee or Selling Dealer on each count involving
alleged securities laws violations by such Indemnitee or Selling Dealer, (B)
such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of
competent jurisdiction or (C) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have
approved a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and indemnification
in respect of the costs thereof, and (ii) the court shall have been advised by
the General Partner as to the current position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Securities Divisions of the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, the States of Missouri and Tennessee and any other relevant
regulatory body with respect to the issue of indemnification for securities law
violations.
(c) The provision of advances from Partnership funds to an Indemnitee for
legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action
initiated against an Indemnitee by a Limited Partner of the Partnership in his
capacity as such is prohibited. However, the provision of advances from
Partnership funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenditures and other costs
incurred as a result of any initiated suit, action or proceeding is permissible
only if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is
alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the
Indemnitee in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on
behalf of the Partnership; (ii) such suit, action or proceeding is initiated by
a third party who is not a Limited Partner; and (iii) the Indemnitee undertakes
to repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 6.3 in cases in which such
Indemnitee would not be entitled to indemnification under 6.3(a) and 6.3(b). If
advances are permissible under this Section 6.3, the Indemnitee shall furnish
the Partnership with an undertaking as set forth in the foregoing sentence and
shall thereafter have the right to bill the Partnership for, or otherwise
request that the Partnership pay, at any time and from time to time after such
Indemnitee has become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all amounts
for which such Indemnitee believes in good faith that such Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.3. The Partnership shall pay
any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment for which
the Partnership is liable as determined above. In the event that a final
determination is made that the Partnership is not so obligated in respect to all
or any portion of the amounts paid by it or if the Indemnitee enters into a
stipulation or settlement with like effect, such Indemnitee will refund such
amount, plus interest thereon at the then prevailing market rate of interest,
within 60 days of such final determination, and in the event that a final
determination is made that the Partnership is so obligated in respect to any
amount not paid by the Partnership to a particular Indemnitee or if the
Partnership enters into a stipulation or settlement with like effect, the
Partnership will pay such amount to such Indemnitee.

of the O & O Expense as the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, deem appropriate and the Partnership shall have no separate

incurred by it. The General Partner shall bear any Organizational and Offering
Expenses incurred by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner
(including, without limitation, the Dealer-Manager) in excess of the O & O
Expense Allowance.
(f) Acquisition Fees.
In connection with any Investment, the Partnership shall pay to the
General Partner, for services rendered in connection with acquiring such
Investment, an Acquisition Fee equal to the difference (to the extent greater
than zero) between (i) 3.0% of the Purchase Price paid by the Partnership for
any (A) item of Equipment or (B) Financing Transaction, as the case may be, and
(ii) the aggregate amount of Acquisition Fees paid by or on behalf of the
Partnership to any other Person in connection with such Investment; provided,
however, that:
(i) no Acquisition Fees may be paid by or on behalf of the
Partnership to any finder or broker that is an Affiliate of the
General Partner;
(ii) the Partnership shall not pay any Acquisition Fees, or part thereof,
that would cause the Partnership's Investment in Equipment and Financing
Transactions to be less than the greater of (x) 80% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds from the Partnership's sale of Units, reduced by .0625% for each
1% of Indebtedness encumbering any Investment acquired by the Partnership,
and (y) 75% of such Gross Offering Proceeds; and
(iii) the aggregate sum of (A) Acquisition Fees and (B) all other
Front-End Fees, which, in each case, may be paid to any Person pursuant to
this Agreement in connection with all Investments made by the Partnership
from any source (including, without limitation, Net Offering Proceeds,
Partnership indebtedness or reinvestment of excess Cash Flows) shall not
exceed an amount equal to the product of multiplying (x) the Gross
Offering Proceeds by (y) a percentage equal to (1) 100% minus (2) the
greater of the two percentages calculated under clause (x) or clause (y)
of subsection 6.4(f)(ii), above.
The following are examples of application of the formula in clause (ii),
above:
(1) No Indebtedness - 80% to be committed to Investment in Equipment and
Financing Transactions.
(2) 50% Indebtedness - 50% x .0625% = 3.125% 80% - 3.125% =
76.875% to be committed to Investment in Equipment and
Financing Transactions.
(3) 80% Indebtedness - 80% x .0625% = 5%
80% - 5% = 75% to be committed to Investment in Equipment
and Financing Transactions.
To calculate the percentage of Indebtedness encumbering Investments, the
aggregate amount of such Indebtedness shall be divided by the aggregate
Purchase Price (without deduction for Front-End Fees) paid for all
Investments. Such percentage of Indebtedness so calculated would be
multiplied by .0625% to determine the percentage to be deducted from 80%.
If any payment of Acquisition Fees causes the Partnership to experience a
shortfall in its required Investment in Equipment and Financing Transactions
(computed under clause (ii) above) or the aggregate amount of Acquisition Fees
paid by the Partnership to exceed the amount determined in accordance with
clause (iii) above, the General Partner shall refund to the Partnership that
portion of Acquisition Fees received by it to the extent necessary to correct
such shortfall or overpayment, as the case may be, together with interest
thereon at the rate of 1.0% per month to the extent that such refund is not made
within 30 days.
Where the Partnership purchases an item of Equipment or any Financing
Transaction from the General Partner or one of its Affiliates pursuant to
Section 6.2(d) for a Purchase Price which includes an Acquisition Fee amount,
such Acquisition Fee amount shall be deemed paid pursuant to this Section 6.4(d)
and there shall be no duplicative payment thereof.
(g) Management Fees.
Each month, for management services rendered, the Partnership shall pay to
the General Partner such portion of the Management Fees as shall be attributable
to Gross Revenues actually received by the Partnership during such month;
provided that Management Fees shall be payable solely out of Gross Revenues
received during the month in which paid; and provided, further, that such
Management Fees shall be paid in any month only after payment of any accrued and
unpaid First Cash Distributions for such month and for any previous month (in
each case, up to an amount equal to 8.0% per annum of each respective Limited
Partner's unreturned Capital Contribution), and, to the extent that the
Partnership does not have sufficient Cash From Operations in any month to pay
such proportion of all such First Cash Distributions, the payment of such
Management Fees shall be deferred and paid, without interest, in the next
following month in which the Partnership generates sufficient Cash From
Operations for the payment thereof.
(h) Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
For rendering services in connection with the sale of any Investment, the
Partnership shall pay to the General Partner the applicable Subordinated
Remarketing Fee; provided that:
(i) no such Subordinated Remarketing Fee shall be paid in connection with
the sale of any Investment to the extent that the Cash From Sales realized
thereby is reinvested in additional Investments;
(ii) in no event shall any such Subordinated Remarketing Fee be
paid prior to Payout; and
(iii) the General Partner shall not be entitled to receive any amount of
Subordinated Remarketing Fees to the extent that such amount would cause
the total commissions paid to all Persons, in connection with the sale of
such Investments, to exceed a fee for such services which is reasonable,
customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of such
Investment.
After Payout, any and all Subordinated Remarketing Fees previously earned by the
General Partner shall be paid, without any interest thereon, by the Partnership,
prior to any other distributions to the Partners.
(i) Partnership Expenses.
(i) Reimbursement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4(i),
expenses of the Partnership, other than those incurred and otherwise
reimbursed in accordance with Sections 6.4(b) through (h), shall be billed
directly to and paid by the Partnership.
(ii) Goods and Third-Party Services. The General Partner and any Affiliate
of the General Partner may be reimbursed for the actual cost of goods and
services used for or by the Partnership and obtained by it or them from
non-Affiliates.
(iii) Administrative Services Provided by the General Partner and
Affiliates. Subject to clause (iv) of this Section 6.4(i), the General
Partner and any Affiliate of the General Partner may be reimbursed for
Operating Expenses which are actually incurred by it or them in connection
with the performance or arrangement of administrative services reasonably
necessary, convenient or advisable, in the discretion of the General
Partner, to the prudent operation of the Partnership (including, without
limitation, legal, accounting, remarketing and agency expenses) provided
that the reimbursement for same shall be limited to the lesser of (A) its
or their actual cost of providing same or (B) the amount the Partnership
would be required to pay to non-Affiliates for comparable administrative
services in the same geographic location and provided further, that no
reimbursement is permitted for such services if the General Partner or any
such Affiliate is entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6.4.
(iv) Limitations on Reimbursements. Neither the General Partner nor any
Affiliate of the General Partner shall be reimbursed by the Partnership
for amounts expended by it with respect to the following:
(A) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses or other
administrative items incurred by or allocated to any Controlling
Person of the General Partner or of any such Affiliate;
(B) expenses for rent, depreciation and utilities or for capital
equipment or other administrative items (other than as specified
respectively in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.4(i),
above).
6.5 Other Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates.
The General Partner shall be required to devote only such time to the
affairs of the Partnership as the General Partner shall, in its sole and
absolute discretion, determine in good faith to be necessary for the business
and operations of the Partnership.
The General Partner and any Affiliate of the General Partner may engage
in, or possess an interest in, business ventures (other than the Partnership) of
every kind and description, independently or with others, including, but not
limited to, serving as sponsor or general partner of other Programs and
participating in the equipment leasing and financing businesses, whether or not
such business ventures may be competitive with the business or Investments of
the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner shall have any
rights in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by
reason of the General Partner's position with the Partnership.
Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall
be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the
Partnership, and the General Partner and each such Affiliate shall have the
right, subject only to the provisions of the next following paragraph, to take
for its own account (individually or otherwise), or to recommend to any
Affiliated Entity (including the Partnership), any particular investment
opportunity, considering, among other things, the following factors with respect
to itself and each Affiliated Entity:
(a) its own and each Affiliated Entity's general investment
objectives and policies, including, without limitation, cash distribution
objectives and leverage policies;
(b) its own and each Affiliated Entity's existing portfolio,
including the diversification thereof (by type of equipment, by length of
lease term, by industry and by geographic area) and the effect the making
of such investment would have thereon;
(c) the cash available to it and to each Affiliated Entity for the
purpose of making such investment and the length of time such funds have
been available;
(d) its own and each Affiliated Entity's current and
long-term liabilities; and
(e) the estimated income tax consequences of such investment to it
and each Affiliated Entity and to the individual investors participating
therein.
If, considering such factors and any other appropriate factors, the
General Partner determines that any investment opportunity would be equally
suitable for various Affiliated Entities, the General Partner shall make such
investment opportunity available to such Affiliated Entities on a rotation
basis, with the order of priority determined by the date of each Affiliated
Entity's initial closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until all Capital Contributions have been
invested or committed to investment in Investments and Reserves (not exceeding
3% of Gross Offering Proceeds), used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned
to the Limited Partners (as provided in Section 8.7, below), the General Partner
and each Affiliate of the General Partner shall present to the Partnership
first, before any other Affiliated Entity (including any Affiliated Entity that
the General Partner or any such Affiliate advises or manages), the opportunity
to purchase any Investment meeting the investment objectives and policies of the
Partnership, other than a Lease relating to:
(i) used equipment previously leased by the General Partner or any such
Affiliate to third parties that becomes available for re-lease;
(ii) groups of items of equipment to be leased on terms providing various
cost recovery terms for various items, where the Partnership may not, in
accordance with this Agreement, purchase all items in the group;
(iii) equipment to be leased to a third party on favorable terms, from a
cost recovery viewpoint, subsequent to the lease by the General Partner or
its Affiliates to the same third party of other items of equipment on
substantially less favorable terms;
(iv) equipment as to which a prospective or existing lessee indicates to
the General Partner or its Affiliate that it will not lease or continue to
lease through the General Partner or such Affiliate unless the General
Partner or such Affiliate acquires and retains such equipment in its own
equipment portfolio; or
(v) equipment subject to a lease that by its terms is not assignable to an
entity such as the Partnership (leases that permit assignment to a
"financial institution" shall not, without more, be deemed assignable to
the Partnership).
In the event of a conflict between two or more Affiliated Entities
(including the Partnership) that are advised or managed by the General Partner
and that are seeking to re-lease or sell similar equipment contemporaneously,
the first opportunity to re-lease or sell equipment shall generally be allocated
to the Affiliated Entity attempting to re-lease or sell equipment that was
subject to the lease that expired first or, if two or more leases expire
simultaneously, the lease which was first to take effect; provided, however,
that the General Partner may, in its discretion, otherwise provide opportunities
to re-lease or sell equipment if such equipment is subject to remarketing
commitments or if there are other circumstances, in the General Partner's
judgment, under which the withholding of such an opportunity would be
inequitable or uneconomic for a particular Affiliated Entity.
If the financing available from time to time to two or more Affiliated
Entities (including the Partnership) is less than the aggregate amount then
sought by them, the available financing shall generally be allocated to the
investment entity that has been seeking financing the longest.
Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to diminish the General
Partner's overriding fiduciary obligation to the Partnership or to act as a
waiver of any right or remedy the Partnership or other Partners may have in the
event of a breach of such obligation.
7. POWERS AND LIABILITIES OF LIMITED PARTNERS.
7.1 Absence of Control Over Partnership Business.
The Limited Partners hereby consent to the exercise by the General Partner
of the powers conferred on the General Partner by this Agreement. No Limited
Partner shall participate in or have any control over the Partnership's business
or have any right or authority to act for, or to bind or otherwise obligate, the
Partnership (except one who is also the General Partner, and then only in its
capacity as the General Partner). No Limited Partner shall have the right to
have the Partnership dissolved and liquidated or to have all or any part of such
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution or Capital Account returned except as
provided in this Agreement.
7.2 Limited Liability.
The liability of each Limited Partner in such capacity shall be limited to
the amount of such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution and pro rata share of
any undistributed Profits and other assets of the Partnership. Except as may
otherwise be required by law or by this Agreement, after the payment of all
Subscription Monies for the Units purchased by such Limited Partner, no Limited
Partner shall have any further obligations to the Partnership, be subject to any
additional assessment or be required to contribute any additional capital to, or
to loan any funds to, the Partnership.
No Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account of any
obligations and liabilities of, including any amounts payable by, the
Partnership under or pursuant to, or otherwise in connection with, this
Agreement or the conduct of the business of the Partnership.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS.
8.1 Distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales.
(a) During the Reinvestment Period, the General Partner shall determine in
its sole discretion what portion, if any, of the Partnership's Distributable
Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales shall be invested and
reinvested in additional Investments and which portion shall be distributed to
the Partners; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not reinvest,
but shall distribute to the extent available, Distributable Cash From Operations
and Distributable Cash From Sales to Limited Partners in an amount equal to the
following amounts for the periods specified (pro rated, as necessary, for
periods of less than one year):
(i) For the period beginning with a Limited Partner's admission to the
Partnership and ending with the expiration or termination of the
Reinvestment Period, each Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive
monthly cash distributions, to the extent that Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales are sufficient for such
purpose. The annual amount of such distributions will be computed by
multiplying 10.75% by each Limited Partner's respective original Capital
Contribution reduced by any portion thereof which has been (A) returned to
such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6, or (B) redeemed by the
Partnership pursuant to Section 10.5, of this Agreement. A ratable portion
(i.e., one-twelfth) of such annual distribution amount shall be payable
monthly; and
Any portion of the monthly distribution amounts described in this clause
(i) which exceeds the sum of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales for any year (if any) shall be distributable
(if at all) solely at the discretion of the General Partner. Each monthly
cash distribution amount shall be computed as provided in the preceding
sentence on a non-cumulative basis (that is, without increase for any
portion of the monthly cash distribution amount computed pursuant to this
clause (i) which the Partnership is unable to make, and without reduction
for any cash distributions actually made, in any prior period.
(ii) Each Limited Partner is entitled to receive monthly cash
distributions (if the distributions described in paragraph (i) above are
not adequate) in amounts which would permit the Limited Partners to pay
federal, state and local income taxes resulting from Partnership
Operations (assuming that all Limited Partners are subject to income
taxation at a 31% cumulative tax rate on taxable distributions for GAAP
purposes). Such distributions will be made, to the extent that
Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales are
sufficient for such purpose.
(b) During the Disposition Period, no Available Cash From Operations or
Available Cash From Sales shall be reinvested in additional Investments, and all
Available Cash From Operations and Available Cash From Sales shall be
distributed to the Partners.
(c) Distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable
Cash From Sales (collectively, "Distributable Cash") shall be made to the
Partners monthly. Subject to Section 8.1(a), the amount of each such monthly
distribution shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion,
based upon the amount of the Partnership's then available Distributable Cash and
other funds of the Partnership and the General Partner's estimate of the
Partnership's total Distributable Cash for such Fiscal Year. Prior to Payout,
distributions pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall be made 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partner; provided, however, that prior to the
admission to the Partnership of any Limited Partners, such distributions shall
be made 1% to the Original Limited Partner and 99% to the General Partner. After
Payout, distributions pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall be tentatively
attributed and distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General
Partner; provided, however, that, if at the time of Payout, each respective
Limited Partner has not yet received total cash distributions pursuant to this
Section 8.1(c) equal to 150% of such Limited Partner's original Capital
Contribution (reduced by any amounts paid to such Limited Partner (i) as a
return of his uninvested Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 8.6 and (ii)
in redemption of his Units pursuant to Section 10.5), distributions shall
continue to be made 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner
until the total cash distributions made to the Limited Partners equal 150% of
the Limited Partners' aggregate original Capital Contributions. The amount
tentatively attributed to the General Partner pursuant to the previous sentence
and not theretofore distributed to the General Partner shall be distributed to
the General Partner, without interest, out of the first Distributable Cash
available to the Partnership after the Limited Partners have received
distributions equal to 150% of their aggregate original Capital Contributions.
<PAGE>
A-29
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1(c), distributions of
Distributable Cash made during the Disposition Period shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3.
8.2 Allocations of Profits and Losses.
(a) The Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall be determined for each
Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever a
proportionate part of the Partnership's Profits or Losses is allocated to a
Partner, every item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the
computation of such Profits or Losses, or arising from the transactions with
respect to which such Profits or Losses were realized, shall be allocated to
such Partner in the same proportion.
(c) Profits for any Fiscal Period during the Reinvestment Period shall be
allocated to the Partners as follows:
(i) first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until
the Limited Partners have been allocated Profits equal to the excess, if
any, of their aggregate Unpaid Target Distributions over their aggregate
Capital Account balances;
(ii) next, in a manner that will cause (A) the excess of the Limited
Partners' aggregate Capital Account balances over the amount of their
aggregate Unpaid Target Distributions and (B) the General Partner's
Capital Account balance, to be in the ratio of 90% to 10%; and
(iii) thereafter, 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
General Partner.
(d) Profits for any Fiscal Period during the Disposition Period shall be
allocated to the Partners as follows:
(i) first, to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent
of the deficit balances, if any, in their respective Capital
Accounts;
(ii) next, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until
the Limited Partners have been allocated Profits equal to the excess, if
any, of their aggregate Unpaid Target Distributions over their aggregate
Capital Account balances;
(iii) next, in a manner that will cause (A) the excess of the Limited
Partners' aggregate Capital Account balances over the amount of their
aggregate Unpaid Target Distributions and (B) the General Partner's
Capital Account balance, to be in the ratio of 90% to 10%; and
(iv) thereafter, 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
General Partner.
(e) Losses for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated to the
Partners as follows:
(i) first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until
the Limited Partners have been allocated Losses equal to the excess, if
any, of their aggregate Capital Account balances over their aggregate
Adjusted Capital Contributions;
(ii) next, to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of
their respective remaining positive Capital Account balances, if
any; and
(iii) thereafter, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited
Partners; provided, however, that if and to the extent that an allocation
of Losses to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.2(e) or
Section 8.2(f) would result in any Limited Partner having an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit, such Losses shall be allocated to all other
Partners in accordance with this Section 8.2(e) and, when no Limited
Partner can be allocated any such Losses without violating the limitation
contained in this proviso, such remaining Losses shall be allocated to the
General Partner.
(f) Special Allocations.
The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be
made prior to allocations in Section 8.2(a)-(e) in the following order:
(i) Minimum Gain Charge-Back. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 8, if there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain or in any Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period, prior to any other
allocation pursuant this Section 8, each Partner shall be
specifically allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods)
in an amount and manner required by Treas. Reg. Sections
1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4) or any successor provisions. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with
Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(j)(2) or any successor provision.
(ii) Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated
99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
(iii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated to the
Partner who made or guaranteed or is otherwise liable with
respect to the loan to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions
are attributable in accordance with principles of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.704-2(i) or any successor provision.
(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If in any Fiscal Period, any
Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, whether
resulting from an unexpected adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Treas. Reg. Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) or otherwise, such Partner
shall be allocate items of Partnership income and gain
(consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership
income, including gross income, and gain for such Fiscal Period)
sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as
quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury
Regulation. It is the intention of the parties that this
allocation provision constitute a "qualified income offset"
within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
(v) Curative Allocations. The special allocations provided for in the
proviso of Section 8.2(e) and in Sections 8.2(f)(i)-(iv) are intended to
comply with certain requirements of Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1 and
1.704-2. To the extent that any of such special allocations shall have
been made, subsequent allocations of income, gains, losses and deductions
and items thereof ("curative allocations") shall be made as soon as
possible and in a manner so as to cause, to the extent possible without
violating the requirements of Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2,
the Partners' Capital Account balances to be as nearly as possible in the
same proportions in which they would have been had such special
allocations not occurred. In making such curative allocations, due regard
shall be given to the character of the Profits and Losses and items
thereof that were originally allocated pursuant to the provision of
Sections 8.2(e) and Sections 8.2(f)(i)-(iv) in order to put the Partners
as nearly as possible in the positions in which they would have been had
such special allocations not occurred.
If the General Partner determines, after consultation with Tax
Counsel, that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss
or deduction is not specified in this Section 8 (an "unallocated item"),
or that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss or
deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Partners' economic
interests in the Partnership determined by reference to this Agreement,
the general principles of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors
set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii) (a "misallocated
item"), then the General Partner may allocate such unallocated items and
reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests.
(vi) Special Allocation of State, Local and Foreign Taxes. Any state,
local or foreign taxes imposed on the Partnership by reason of a Partner
being a citizen, resident or national of such state, locality or foreign
jurisdiction, including any item(s) of taxable income or tax loss
resulting therefrom, shall be specially allocated to such Partner.
(vii) Transactions with Partnership. If, and to the extent that, any
Partner is deemed to recognize any item of income, gain, loss, deduction
or credit as a result of any transaction between such Partner and the
Partnership pursuant to Code Sections 482, 483, 1272-1274, 7872 or any
similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding Profits or
Losses or items thereof shall be allocated to the Partner who was charged
with such item.
(viii) Fees and Commissions Paid to General Partner. It is the intent of
the Partnership that any amount paid or deemed paid to the General Partner
as a fee or payment described in Section 6.4 shall be treated as a
"guaranteed payment" or a payment to a partner not acting in his capacity
as a partner pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code to the extent
possible. If any such fee or payment is deemed to be a distribution to the
General Partner and not a guaranteed payment or a payment to a partner not
acting in his capacity as a partner, the General Partner shall be
allocated an amount of Partnership gross ordinary income equal to such
payment.
(ix) Selling Commissions, Underwriting Fees, Acquisition Fees and O & O
Expense Allowance. Selling Commissions, Underwriting Fees, Acquisition
Fees and the O & O Expense Allowance shall be allocated 100% to the
Limited Partners. Organizational and Offering Expenses, in excess of Sales
Commissions, Underwriting Fees and the O & O Expense Allowance, shall be
allocated 100% to the General Partner.
8.3Distributions and Allocations Among the Limited Partners.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all distributions of
Distributable Cash and all allocations of Profits and Losses and items thereof
for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period shall be distributed or allocated, as the
case may be, among the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective
numbers of Units. Each distribution of Distributable Cash shall be made to the
Limited Partners (or their respective assignees) of record as of the last day of
the month next preceding the date on which such distribution is made.
(b) All distributions of Distributable Cash and all allocations of Profits
and Losses or items thereof for any Fiscal Year in which any Limited Partners
are admitted to the Partnership, shall be allocated among the Limited Partners
as follows:
(i) first, the Operations and Sales of the Partnership shall be deemed to
have occurred ratably over such Fiscal Year, irrespective of the actual
results of Operations or Sales of the Partnership during or within any
given Segment;
(ii) second, (A) each Limited Partner who was admitted to the Partnership
prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year shall be deemed to have held
his respective Units commencing as of the first Segment in such Fiscal
Year; (B) each Limited Partner who was admitted to the Partnership as of
the first day of any subsequent Segment in such Fiscal Year in accordance
with Section 5.3(h), shall be deemed to have held his respective Units
commencing with such Segment; and (C) each Limited Partner who was
admitted to the Partnership commencing as of the day following the Initial
Closing Date or the Final Closing Date (where such Initial Closing Date or
Final Closing Date falls on other than the 15th day or last day of a month
or next preceding business day), shall be deemed to have held his
respective Units for a fraction of the Segment within which such Limited
Partner was admitted to the Partnership, determined by dividing the number
of days within such Segment following the Initial Closing Date or Final
Closing Date, as the case may be, by the number of days in such Segment;
(iii) third, all Profits and Losses for such Fiscal Year shall be
allocated among the Limited Partners in the ratio that the number of Units
held by each Limited Partner multiplied by the number of Segments (pro
rated for fractions of Segments) in such Fiscal Year that such Units were
held by such Limited Partner bears to the sum of that calculation for all
Limited Partners; and
(iv) Third, all monthly distributions of cash made to the Limited Partners
pursuant to Section 8.1(c) shall be distributed among the Limited Partners
in the ratio that the number of Units held by each Limited Partner
multiplied by the number of Segments (pro rated for fractions of Segments)
in the month preceding the month in which the distribution is made that
such Units were held by such Limited Partner bears to the sum of that
calculation for all Limited Partners. If the General Partner determines at
any time that the sum of the monthly distributions made to any Limited
Partner during or with respect to a Fiscal Year does not (or will not)
properly reflect such Limited Partner's share of the total distributions
made or to be made by the Partnership for such Fiscal Year, the General
Partner shall, as soon as practicable, make a supplemental distribution to
such Limited Partner, or withhold from a subsequent distribution that
otherwise would be payable to such Limited Partner, such amount as shall
cause the total distributions to such Limited Partner for such Fiscal Year
to be the proper amount.
(c) In the event of a transfer of a Unit during a Fiscal Year in
accordance with Section 10, the transferor and transferee shall be allocated a
ratable share of Profits and Losses for such Fiscal Year based on the number of
Segments (pro rated for fractions of Segments) in such Fiscal Year that each
held such transferred Units. Monthly distributions made by the Partnership in
accordance with Section 8.1(c) shall be allocated between the transferor and
transferee (and subsequently adjusted, if necessary) in the manner set forth in
clause (iv) and the last sentence of Section 8.3(b).
(d) Each distribution made to a Limited Partner pursuant to Section
8.1(c), 8.6 or 11.3 of this Agreement, any interest on Subscription Monies
relating to such Limited Partner's Units paid to such Limited Partner pursuant
to Section 5.3(k), and any amount paid to such Limited Partner in redemption of
such Limited Partner's Units pursuant to Section 10.5 shall be applied as
follows:
(i) first, in reduction of such Limited Partner's Unpaid Cumulative
Return, to the extent thereof, as determined immediately before such
distribution; and
(ii) then, in reduction of such Limited Partner's Adjusted Capital
Contribution, to the extent thereof, as determined immediately before such

8.4 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c); Revaluations.
(a) In accordance with Code section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction, and items thereof, with respect
to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for
tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.
(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is
adjusted pursuant to Clause (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value herein
and Section 5(h) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction, and items thereof, with respect to such asset shall take account of
any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with the requirements
of Proposed Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-3(a)(4) or the corresponding provision of
final or successor Treasury Regulations.
(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations required
by clauses (a) and (b) of Section 8.4 shall be made in a manner that reasonably
reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to
this clause (c) of Section 8.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and
local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in
computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other
items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
8.5 Compliance with NASAA Guidelines Regarding Front-End Fees.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event
the Partnership fails, at any time after the expiration of 30 months from the
date of the Prospectus, to comply with the restrictions set forth in Section
6.4(b) through (f) above, the General Partner shall appropriately adjust the
allocations and distributions set forth in this Section 8 so as to comply with
the requirements contained in NASAA Guidelines. No adjustment proposed to be
made pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall require the General Partner to obtain
the consent of the Limited Partners unless such proposed adjustment adversely
effects the allocations or distributions made, or to be made, to any Limited
Partner.
8.6 Return of Uninvested Capital Contribution.
In the event that 100% of Net Offering Proceeds have not been used to make
Investments or committed to Reserves to the extent permitted to be treated as
Investments pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(vii) within the later of (i) twenty-four
(24) months after the Effective Date of the Offering or (ii) 12 months of the
receipt thereof by the Partnership, the amount of such uninvested Net Offering
Proceeds shall be promptly distributed by the Partnership to the Limited
Partners, pro rata based upon their respective number of Units, as a return of
capital, without interest and without reduction for Front-End Fees in respect of
such uninvested Capital Contributions (which distributions shall not in any
event exceed the related Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner). Funds
shall be deemed to have been committed to investment and need not be returned to
a Limited Partner to the extent written agreements in principle, commitment
letters, letters of intent or understanding, option agreements or any similar
contracts or understandings are executed and not terminated during the
applicable twenty-four (24) or twelve (12) month period described above, if such
investments are ultimately consummated within a further period of twelve (12)
months. Funds deemed committed which are not actually so invested within such
twelve (12) month period will be promptly distributed, without interest and
without reduction for Front-End Fees in respect of such uninvested Net Offering
Proceeds, to the Limited Partners on a pro rata basis, as a return of capital.
8.7 Partner's Return of Investment in the Partnership.
Each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership
for the return of his Capital Contribution and for any other distributions with
respect to his Partnership Interest. If the assets of the Partnership remaining
after payment or discharge, or provision for payment or discharge, of its debts
and liabilities are insufficient to return such Capital Contribution or to make
any other distribution to such Partner, he shall not have any recourse against
the personal assets of any other Partner, except to the limited extent set forth
in Section 6.3, Section 9.3(a) and Section 11.2(a)(iii).
8.8 No Distributions in Kind.
Distributions in kind shall not be permitted except upon dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership's assets and may only then be made to a
liquidating trust established for the purposes of (a) liquidating the assets
transferred to it and (b) distributing the net cash proceeds of such liquidation
in cash to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
8.9 Partnership Entitled to Withhold.
The Partnership shall at all times be entitled to withhold or make
payments to any governmental authority with respect to any federal, state, local
or foreign tax liability of any Partner arising as a result of such Partner's
participation in the Partnership. Each such amount so withheld or paid shall be
deemed to be a distribution for purposes of Section 8 and Section 11, as the
case may be, to the extent such Partner is then entitled to a distribution. To
the extent that the amount of such withholdings or payments made with respect to
any Partner exceeds the amount to which such Partner is then entitled as a
distribution, the excess shall be treated as a demand loan, bearing interest at
a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum simple interest from the date of
such payment or withholding until such excess is repaid to the Partnership (i)
by deduction from any distributions subsequently payable to such Partner
pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) earlier payment of such excess and interest
by such Partner to the Partnership. Such excess and interest shall, in any case,
be payable not less than 30 days after demand therefore by the General Partner,
which demand shall be made only if the General Partner determines that such
Partner is not likely to be entitled to distributions within 12 months from the
date of such withholding or payment by the Partnership in an amount sufficient
to pay such excess and interest. The withholdings and payments referred to in
this Section 8.9 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under
the applicable tax law unless the General Partner shall have received an opinion
of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner, to the effect
that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding or payment is required.
Section 9. WITHDRAWAL OF GENERAL PARTNER.
9.1 Voluntary Withdrawal.
The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a General Partner from
the Partnership unless (a) the Limited Partners have received 60 days' advance
written notice of the General Partner's intention to withdraw, (b) the
Partnership shall have received an opinion of Tax Counsel to the Partnership to
the effect that such withdrawal will not constitute a termination of the
Partnership or otherwise materially adversely affect the status of the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes and (c) a Substitute General Partner
shall have been selected and such Substitute General Partner (i) shall have
expressed a willingness to be admitted to the Partnership, (ii) shall have
received the specific written Consent of the Majority Interest to such admission
and (iii) shall have a Net Worth sufficient, in the opinion of Tax Counsel to
the Partnership, for the Partnership to continue to be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes and to satisfy the net worth
requirements for "sponsors" under the NASAA Guidelines.
9.2 Involuntary Withdrawal.
The General Partner shall be deemed to have involuntarily withdrawn as a
General Partner from the Partnership upon the removal of the General Partner
pursuant to the Consent of the Majority Interest or upon the occurrence of any
other event that constitutes an event of withdrawal under the Delaware Act as
then in effect.
For purposes of this Section 9.2 and Section 13, neither the General
Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner will participate in any vote by
the Limited Partners to (a) involuntarily remove the General Partner or (b)
cancel any management or service contract with the General Partner or any such
Affiliate.
9.3 Consequences of Withdrawal.
(a) Upon the voluntary withdrawal of the General Partner in accordance
with Section 9.1, the General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal
representatives, shall be entitled to receive from the Partnership (i) an amount
equal to the positive balance, if any, in the General Partner's Capital Account
(as adjusted to the date of such withdrawal by allocation pursuant to Section 8
of any Profits or Losses or other allocable items realized by the Partnership
through such date of Withdrawal and any unrealized gains and losses inherent in
the Partnership's assets as of such date), provided, however, that in no event
shall such amount exceed the fair market value of the Partnership Interest then
held by the General Partner, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of
clause (c) of this Section 9.3, plus or minus, as the case may be, (ii) an
amount equal to the difference between (A) any amounts due and owing to the
General Partner by the Partnership and (B) any amounts due and owing by the
General Partner to the Partnership. The right of the General Partner, or its
estate, successors or legal representatives, to receipt of such amount shall be
subject to (x) any claim for damages by the Partnership or any Partner against
the General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal representatives, that
such withdrawal shall have been made in contravention of this Agreement and (y)
if the General Partner has a negative balance in its Capital Account after
making the adjustments provided for in the first sentence of this clause (a) of
Section 9.3, payment to the Partnership of an amount equal to the lesser of (1)
the amount of such deficit balance or (2) the excess of 1.01% of the total
Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners over the capital previously
contributed by the General Partner.
(b) Upon involuntary withdrawal of the General Partner as such from the
Partnership in accordance with Section 9.2, the Partnership shall pay to the
General Partner (i) the fair market value of the Partnership Interest then held
by the General Partner, as calculated in the manner set forth in clause (c) of
this Section 9.3, plus or minus, as the case may be, (ii) an amount equal to the
difference between (A) any amounts due and owing to such withdrawn General
Partner by the Partnership and (B) any amounts due and owing by such withdrawn
General Partner to the Partnership, and, upon such payment, the General
Partner's Interest in the income, losses, distributions and capital of the
Partnership shall be terminated.
(c) For purposes of this Section 9.3, the fair market value of the
withdrawn General Partner's Interest shall be determined, in good faith, by such
General Partner and the Partnership, or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in
accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association
by two independent appraisers, one selected by the withdrawn General Partner and
one by the Limited Partners. In the event that such two appraisers are unable to
agree on the value of the withdrawn General Partner's Interest within 90 days,
they shall within 20 days thereafter jointly appoint a third independent
appraiser whose determination shall be final and binding; provided, however,
that if the two appraisers are unable to agree within such 20 days on a third
appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration
Association. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by the withdrawn
General Partner and the Partnership.
(d) The method of payment to the General Partner upon withdrawal, whether
voluntary or involuntary, must be fair and must protect the solvency and
liquidity of the Partnership. When the withdrawal is voluntary, the method of
payment will be presumed to be fair if it provides for a non-interest-bearing,
unsecured promissory note of the Partnership, with principal payable, if at all,
from distributions that the withdrawn General Partner otherwise would have
received under the Partnership Agreement had the General Partner not withdrawn.
When the withdrawal is involuntary, the method of payment will be presumed to be
fair if it provides for a promissory note bearing interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof at the lesser of (i) the rate of interest (inclusive of
any points or other loan charges) which the Partnership would be required to pay
to an unrelated bank or commercial lending institution for an unsecured, 60
month loan of like amount or (ii) the rate of interest from time to time
announced by The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) at its principal
lending offices in New York, New York as its prime lending rate plus 3% and
providing for repayments of principal thereunder in sixty (60) equal monthly
installments, together with accrued but unpaid interest.
9.4 Liability of Withdrawn General Partner.
If the business of the Partnership is continued after withdrawal of the
General Partner, the General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal
representatives, shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities
incurred by it or by the Partnership while it was acting in the capacity of
General Partner and for which it was liable as General Partner, but shall be
free of any obligation or liability incurred on account of or arising from the
activities of the Partnership from and after the time such withdrawal shall have
become effective.
9.5 Continuation of Partnership Business.
In the event that the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, the
General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal representatives, shall
deliver to the Limited Partners Notice stating the reasons for such withdrawal.
If, within 90 days following such withdrawal, any Person shall be admitted to
the Partnership as a Substitute General Partner, such Substitute General Partner
shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement and the business of the
Partnership shall continue. If no Substitute General Partner shall have been so
admitted to the Partnership within 90 days following the date of the General
Partner's withdrawal, then the Partnership shall be dissolved.
Section TRANSFER OF UNITS.
10.1 Withdrawal of a Limited Partner.
A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership only by Assigning or
having redeemed all Units owned by such Limited Partner in accordance with this
Section 10. The withdrawal of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve or terminate
the Partnership. In the event of the withdrawal of any Limited Partner because
of death, legal incompetence, dissolution or other termination, the estate,
legal representative or successor of such Limited Partner shall be deemed to be
the Assignee of the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner and may become
a Substitute Limited Partner upon compliance with the provisions of Section
10.3.
10.2 Assignment.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.2(b) and (c) and 10.3 of this
Agreement, any Limited Partner may Assign all or any portion of the Units owned
by such Limited Partner to any Person (the "Assignee"); provided that
(i) such Limited Partner and such Assignee shall each execute a written
Assignment instrument, which shall:
(A) set forth the terms of such Assignment;
(B) in the case of assignments other than by operation of law, state
the intention of such Limited Partner that such Assignee shall become
a Substitute Limited Partner and, in all cases, evidence the
acceptance by the Assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement;
(C) include a representation by both such Limited Partner and such
Assignee that such Assignment was made in accordance with all
applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, such
minimum investment and investor suitability requirements as may then
be applicable under state securities laws); and
(D) otherwise be satisfactory in form and substance to the
General Partner; and
(ii) such Assignee shall pay to the Partnership an aggregate amount, not
exceeding $150.00, of expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership in
connection with such Assignment.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the General Partner shall
specifically Consent, no Units may be Assigned:
(i) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or
conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such
Person);
(ii) to any Person if, in the Opinion of Tax Counsel, such Assignment
would result in the termination of the Partnership's taxable year or its
status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, provided that the
Partnership may permit such Assignment to become effective if and when, in
the opinion of Tax Counsel, such Assignment would no longer result in the
termination of the Partnership's taxable year or its status as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes;
(iii) to any Person if such Assignment would affect the Partnership's
existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act
or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership
is then conducting business;
(iv) to any Person not permitted to be an Assignee under applicable law,
including, without limitation, applicable federal and state securities
laws;
(v) if such Assignment would result in the transfer of a Partnership
Interest representing less than twenty-five (25) Units, or ten (10) Units
in the case of a Qualified Plan (unless such Assignment is of the entire
Partnership Interest owned by such Limited Partner);
(vi) if such Assignment would result in the retention by such Limited
Partner of a portion of its Partnership Interest representing less than
the greater of (A) twenty-five (25) Units, or ten (10) Units in the case
of a Qualified Plan, and (B) the minimum number of Units required to be
purchased under minimum investment standards applicable to an initial
purchase of Units by such Limited Partner;
(vii) if, in the reasonable belief of the General Partner, such
Assignment might violate applicable law;
(viii) if the effect of such Assignment would be to cause the "equity
participation" in the Partnership by "benefit plan investors" (both within
the meaning of DOL Reg. Section 2510.3-101(f)) to equal or exceed 25%; or
(ix) if such transfer would cause an impermissible percentage of Units to
be owned by non-United States citizens.
Any attempt to make any Assignment of Units in violation of this Section
10.2(b) shall be null and void ab initio.
(c) So long as there are adverse federal income tax consequences from
being treated as a "publicly traded partnership" for federal income tax
purposes, the General Partner shall not permit any interest in a Unit to be
Assigned on a secondary public market (or a substantial equivalent thereof) as
defined under the Code and any Treasury Regulations or published notices
promulgated thereunder (a "Secondary Market") and, if the General Partner
determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that a proposed Assignment was
effected on a Secondary Market, the Partnership and the General Partner have the
right to refuse to recognize any such proposed Assignment and to take any action
deemed necessary or appropriate in the General Partner's reasonable discretion
so that such proposed Assignment is not, in fact, recognized. For purposes of
this Section 10.2(c), any Assignment which results in a failure to meet the
"safe-harbor" provisions of Notice 88-75 (July 5, 1988) issued by the IRS, or
any substitute safe-harbor provisions subsequently established by Treasury
Regulations or published notices, shall be treated as causing the Units to be
publicly traded. The Limited Partners agree to provide all information
respecting Assignments, which the General Partner deems necessary in order to
determine whether a proposed transfer occurred or will occur on a Secondary
Market.
(d) Assignments made in accordance with this Section 10.2 shall be
effective for record purposes and for purposes of Section 8 as of the first day
of the Segment following the date upon which all of the conditions of this
Section 10.2 shall have been satisfied.
10.3 Substitution10.3 Substitution.
(a) An Assignee of a Limited Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership
as a Substitute Limited Partner only if:
(i) the General Partner has reasonably determined that all conditions
specified in Section 10.2 have been satisfied and that no adverse effect
to the Partnership does or may result from such admission; and
(ii) such Assignee shall have executed a transfer agreement and such other
forms, including a power of attorney to the effect required by Section 15,
as the General Partner reasonably may require to determine compliance with
this Section 10.
(b) An Assignee of Units who does not become a Substitute Limited Partner
in accordance with this Section 10.3 and who desires to make a further
Assignment of his Units shall be subject to all the provisions of Sections 10.2,
10.3 and 10.4 to the same extent and in the same manner as a Limited Partner
desiring to make an Assignment of his Units. Failure or refusal of the General
Partner to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner shall in no way
affect the right of such Assignee to receive distributions from Distributable
Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and the share of the
Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes to which his predecessor in interest would
have been entitled in accordance with Section 8.
10.4 Status of an Assigning Limited Partner.
Any Limited Partner that shall Assign the entire Partnership Interest
owned by such Limited Partner to an Assignee who shall become a Substitute
Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner in the Partnership and shall
no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner in the
Partnership.
10.5 Limited Right of Presentment for Redemption of Units.
(a) Commencing with the second full calendar quarter following the Final
Closing Date and at any time and from time to time thereafter until termination
of the Partnership, any Limited Partner (other than an Affiliated Limited
Partner) may request that the Partnership redeem, and, subject to the
availability of funds in accordance with clause (b) below and the other
provisions of this Section 10.5 and provided that the Partnership shall not, in
any calendar year, redeem Partnership Interests that, in the aggregate, exceed
2% of the total Partnership Interests outstanding as of the last day of such
year, with the prior Consent of the General Partner, the Partnership shall
redeem, for cash, up to 100% of the Partnership Interest of such Limited
Partner, at the Applicable Redemption Price. The Partnership shall be under no
obligation to redeem Units of a Limited Partner and shall do so only in the sole
and absolute discretion of the General Partner.
(b) No reserves shall be established by the Partnership for the redemption
of Units. The availability of funds for the redemption of any Unit shall be
subject to the availability of sufficient Distributable Cash. Furthermore, Units
may be redeemed only if such redemption would not impair the capital or the
Operations of the Partnership and would not result in the termination under the
Code of the Partnership's taxable year or of its federal income tax status as a
partnership.
(c) A Limited Partner desiring to have a portion or all of his Units
redeemed shall submit a written request to the General Partner on a form
approved by the General Partner duly signed by all owners of such Units on the
books of the Partnership. Redemption requests hereunder shall be deemed given on
the earlier of the date the same is (i) personally delivered with receipt
acknowledged, or (ii) mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, at the General Partner's address set forth herein. Requests
arising from death, major medical expense and family emergency related to
disability or a material loss of family income, collectively "Hardship
Redemptions" shall be treated as having been received at 12:01 A.M. EST and all
other redemption requests shall be deemed received with the start of the
business day during which received. The General Partner shall promptly accept or
deny each redemption request. The General Partner shall, in its sole discretion,
decide whether a redemption is in the best interests of the Partnership.
(d) In the event that the General Partner receives requests for the
Partnership to redeem more Units than there are funds sufficient to redeem, the
General Partner shall honor redemption requests in the order in which duly
executed and supported redemption requests are received. The General Partner
shall use its reasonable efforts to honor requests for redemptions of Units with
the same request date first as to Hardship Redemptions, second so as to provide
liquidity for IRAs or Qualified Plans to meet required distributions and finally
as to all other redemption requests.
(e) Within 30 days following the date upon which the General Partner
receives a written request from any Limited Partner to redeem Units held by such
Limited Partner, the General Partner shall deliver written notice to such
Limited Partner indicating (i) the number, if any, of such Units to be redeemed
and (ii) if appropriate, the date of redemption thereof, which shall be a date
within 30 days following the date of such notice, and the Applicable Redemption
Price with respect thereto. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the redemption
date specified in the Partnership's notice, the Limited Partner requesting
redemption shall deliver to the Partnership all transfer instruments and other
documents reasonably requested by the Partnership to evidence such redemption
and the Partnership shall pay to such Limited Partner the Applicable Redemption
Price per Unit redeemed. In the event that all Units of any Limited Partner are
so redeemed, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the
Partnership and shall, from and after the date of the redemption of all Units of
such Limited Partner, cease to have the rights of a Limited Partner.

Partner, the General Partner shall be compensated for its services in connection
therewith as provided in Section 6.4 of this Agreement and, if such winding up
is effected by any such other Person (whether selected by the Majority Interest
or as required by law), such other Person shall be compensated for its services
in connection therewith in an amount not in excess of the amount customarily
paid to non-affiliated third parties rendering similar services in respect of
similar entities in the same geographic location.
11.3 Application of Liquidation Proceeds Upon Dissolution.
Following the occurrence of any Dissolution Event, the proceeds of
liquidation and the other assets of the Partnership shall be applied as follows
and in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to the payment of creditors of the Partnership in

up) be paid over to an escrow agent selected by it to be held in escrow for the
purpose of disbursing such reserve in payment of any of the aforementioned

return on, such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution. If, after the complete
payment and discharge of all debts, liabilities and other obligations of the
Partnership, the assets of the Partnership are insufficient to provide the
return of, or a return on, the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner, such
Limited Partner shall have no recourse against any other Limited Partner or the
General Partner, except to the extent that the General Partner is obligated to
make an additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership pursuant to Section

in the case of copying the Participant's List, to compliance with clause (c) of
this Section 12.2) at such Limited Partner's expense, during normal business
hours upon reasonable advance written notice to the General Partner, which
notice shall specify the date and time of the intended visit and identify with
reasonable specificity the documents which such Limited Partner or its
representative will wish to examine or copy or both.
(c) A copy of the Participant List shall be mailed to any Limited Partner
making written request for the Participant List within ten (10) days of such
request (or, if later, within seven (7) days of the Partnership's receipt of
such request); provided that the General Partner may request, and shall be
entitled to first receive, (i) reimbursement of the reasonable cost of copying
and mailing of the Participant List to the Limited Partner, and (ii) a
representation from such Limited Partner that the Participant List is not being
requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to such Limited Partner's interest
as a Limited Partner relative to the affairs of the Partnership. The purposes
for which a Limited Partner may request a copy of the Participant List include,
without limitation, matters relating to the Limited Partners' voting rights

later, within seven (7) days of the Partnership's receipt of the applicable
Limited Partner's written request) (as provided in Paragraph (c) of this Section
12.2), the General Partner shall be liable to such Limited Partner for the
costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by such Limited Partner to compel
production of the Participant List, and for the actual damages suffered by such
Limited Partner by reason of such refusal or neglect; provided, that it shall be
a defense to liability under this clause (d) that (x) the requesting Limited
Partner has failed or refused to make the representation described in clause
(c)(ii) of this Section 12.2 after being requested to do so by the General
Partner or (y) the actual purpose and reason for such Limited Partner's requests
for inspection or for a copy of the Participant List is to secure such List for
the purpose of (1) selling, or reproducing and selling, such List or any portion
of the information contained therein, or (2) using such List or any of such
information for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the Limited
Partner relative to the affairs of the Partnership. The remedies provided under

assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken
in to account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such

the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened) or to any
Limited Partner otherwise entitled to such Notice who has executed and filed
with the records of the meeting, either before or after the time thereof, a

other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may be qualified or own an item of
Equipment or (b) to contract away the fiduciary duty owed to such Limited
Partner by the Sponsor under common law. Any action taken pursuant to Section

By their subscription for Units and their admission as Limited Partners
hereunder, Limited Partners make, constitute and appoint the General Partner,
each authorized officer of the General Partner and each Person who shall
thereafter become a Substitute General Partner during the term of the
Partnership, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of, and in the name, place and stead of, such Limited Partner,
with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to,
verify, deliver, record, file and publish:
(a) this Agreement, Schedule A to this Agreement and the Certificate of
Limited Partnership under the Delaware Act and any other applicable laws of the
State of Delaware and any other applicable jurisdiction, and any amendment of
any thereof (including, without limitation, amendments reflecting the addition
of any Person as a Partner or any admission or substitution of other Partners or
the Capital Contribution made by any such Person or by any Partner) and any
other document, certificate or instrument required to be executed and delivered,
at any time, in order to reflect the admission of any Partner (including,
without limitation, any Substitute General Partner and any Substitute Limited
Partner);
(b) any other document, certificate or instrument required to reflect any
action of the Partners duly taken in the manner provided for in this Agreement,
whether or not such Limited Partner voted in favor of or otherwise consented to
such action;
(c) any other document, certificate or instrument that may be required by
any regulatory body or other agency or the applicable laws of the United States,
any state or any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing or intends

(e) any instrument or papers required to continue or terminate the

that no such attorney-in-fact shall take any action as attorney-in-fact for any
Limited Partner if such action could in any way increase the liability of such
Limited Partner beyond the liability expressly set forth in this Agreement or
alter the rights of such Limited Partner under Section 8, unless (in either
case) such Limited Partner has given a power of attorney to such
attorney-in-fact expressly for such purpose.
15.2 Amendments to Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership.
(a) Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit
certain amendments of this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to
be taken or omitted by, or with respect to, the Partnership, in each case with
the approval of less than all of the Limited Partners, if a specified percentage
of the Partners shall have voted in favor of, or otherwise consented to, such
action. If, as and when:
(i) any amendment of this Agreement is proposed or any action is proposed
to be taken or omitted by, or with respect to, the Partnership, which
amendment or action requires, under the terms of this Agreement, the
Consent of the Partners;
(ii) Partners holding the percentage of Interests specified in this
Agreement as being required for such amendment or action have consented to
such amendment or action in the manner contemplated by this Agreement; and
(iii) any Limited Partner has failed or refused to consent to such
amendment or action (hereinafter referred to as the "non-consenting
Limited Partner"),
then each non-consenting Limited Partner agrees that each attorney-in-fact
specified in Section 15.1 is hereby authorized and empowered to make, execute,
sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and publish, for and
on behalf of such non-consenting Limited Partner, and in his name, place and
stead, any and all documents, certificates and instruments that the General
Partner may deem necessary, convenient or advisable to permit such amendment to
be lawfully made or such action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Limited Partner
is fully aware that he has executed this special power of attorney and that each
other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of such special power of attorney
with a view to the orderly administration of the Partnership's business and
affairs.
(b) Any amendment to this Agreement reflecting the admission to the
Partnership of any Substitute Limited Partner shall be signed by the General
Partner and by or on behalf of the Substitute Limited Partner. Any amendment
reflecting the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner and the admission of
any Substitute General Partner of the Partnership upon the withdrawal of the
General Partner need be signed only by such Substitute General Partner.
15.3 Power Coupled With an Interest.
The foregoing grant of authority by each Limited Partner:
(a) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in favor of
such attorney-in-fact and as such shall be irrevocable and shall survive the
death, incapacity, insolvency, dissolution or termination of such Limited
Partner;
(b) may be exercised for such Limited Partner by a signature of such
attorney-in-fact or by listing or referring to the names of all of the Limited
Partners, including such Limited Partner, and executing any instrument with a
single signature of any one of such attorneys-in-fact acting as attorney-in-fact
for all of them; and
(c) shall survive the Assignment by any Limited Partner of the whole or
any portion of such Limited Partner's Partnership Interest, provided that, if
any Assignee of an entire Partnership Interest shall have furnished to the
General Partner a power of attorney complying with the provisions of Section
15.1 of this Agreement and the admission to the Partnership of such Assignee as
a Substitute Limited Partner shall have been approved by the General Partner,

(2) The difference between Net income (loss) - GAAP and Taxable income from
operations is due to different methods of calculating depreciation and
amortization, the use of the reserve method for providing for possible
doubtful accounts under GAAP and different methods of recognizing revenue
on Direct Finance Leases.
(3) The Partnership records a provision for bad debts to provide for estimated
credit losses in the portfolio. This policy is based on an analysis of the
aging of the Partnership's portfolio, a review of the non- performing
receivables and leases, prior collection experience and historical loss
experience.
(4) The Partnership records a write down to its residual position if it has
been determined to be impaired. Impairment generally occurs for one of two
reasons: (1) when the recoverable value of the underlying equipment falls
below the Partnership's carrying value or (2) when the primary security
holder has foreclosed on the underlying equipment in order to satisfy the
remaining lease obligation and the amount of proceeds received by the
primary security holder in excess of such obligation is not sufficient to
recover the Partnership's residual position.
(5) The Partnership's Reinvestment Period expired on November 15, 1995, five
years after the Final Closing Date. The General Partner distributed a
Definitive Consent Statement to the Limited Partners to solicit approval
of two amendments to the Partnership Agreement. As of March 20, 1996 these
amendments were agreed to and are effective from and after November 15,
1995. The amendments: (1) extend the Reinvestment Period for a maximum of
four additional years and likewise delay the start and end of the
Liquidation Period, and (2) eliminate the Partnership's obligation to pay
the General Partner $220,000 of the $347,000 accrued and unpaid management
fees as of November 15, 1995, and $171,000 of additional management fees
which would otherwise accrue during the present Liquidation Period. The
portion of the accrued and unpaid management fees that would be payable to
the General Partner, or $127,000 ($347,000 less $220,000) will be returned
to the Partnership in the form of an additional Capital Contribution by
the General Partner.

(1) Interim tax information is not available.
(2) The difference between Net income (loss) - GAAP and Taxable income from
operations is due to different methods of calculating depreciation and
amortization, the use of the reserve method for providing for possible
doubtful accounts under GAAP and different methods of recognizing revenue on
Direct Finance Leases.
(3) The Partnership records a provision for bad debts to provide for estimated
credit losses in the portfolio. This policy is based on an analysis of the
aging of the Partnership's portfolio, a review of the non-performing
receivables and leases, prior collection experience and historical loss
experience.
(4) The Partnership records a write down to its residual position if it has been
determined to be impaired. Impairment generally occurs for one of two
reasons: (1) when the recoverable value of the underlying equipment falls
below the Partnership's carrying value or (2) when the primary security
holder has foreclosed on the underlying equipment in order to satisfy the
remaining lease obligation and the amount of proceeds received by the
primary security holder in excess of such obligation is not sufficient to
recover the Partnership's residual position.
