                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (unaudited)
1.   Basis of Presentation

     The  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 June 30, 1997  consisted of the
following:

Non-cancelable minimum rents receivable (net of
  principal and interest on non-recourse debt)                   $     914,666
Estimated unguaranteed residual values                              24,818,000
Initial direct costs                                                 1,346,199
Unearned income                                                    (17,145,727)
                                                                 -------------
                                                                 $   9,933,138

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

     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.   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 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."

     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.

Item 2.    General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations

           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  June 30,  1997,  367,395.78
additional   units  were   admitted,   bringing  the  total  units  and  capital
subscriptions to 393,763.72 and $39,376,372, respectively.

           The Partnership's  portfolio consisted of a net investment in finance
leases,   estimated   unguaranteed  residual  value,  leveraged  leases,  equity
investment in joint venture and financings representing 71%, 13%, 10%, 5% and 1%
of total  investments at June 30, 1997,  respectively and 77%, 0%, 0% 0% and 23%
at June 30, 1996, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

           For the three  months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996 the  Partnership
leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $12,121,225 and $5,962,528,
respectively to 6 and 67 lessees or equipment users respectively.

           Revenue for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997 were  $1,848,920,
representing  an  increase of  $1,599,603  from 1996.  The  increase in revenues
resulted  primarily from an increase in finance income of $1,177,399 an increase
in income  from  leveraged  leases of  $371,683,  an  increase in income from an
equity  investment in a joint venture of $133,925 and an increase in net gain on
sales or  remarketing  of equipment of $6,289.  These  increases  were partially
offset by a decrease in  interest  income and other of $89,693 or 85% from 1996.
The increase in finance income  resulted from an 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 June 30, 1997 were  $1,805,551,
representing  an increase of $1,618,671  from 1996. The increase in expenses was
due to an increase in interest  expense of $821,247,  an increase in  management
fees of  $279,057,  an  increase  in  amortization  of initial  direct  costs of
$264,569, an increase in administrative  expense  reimbursements of $122,906, an
increase  in  provision  for bad debts of  $75,000,  an  increase in general and
administrative  expense of $54,807 and an increase in minority interest in joint
venture of $1,085.  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   reimbursements   and   general  and
administrative  expense  increased due to an increase in the average size of the
portfolio  from 1996 to 1997.  As a result of an  analysis  of  delinquency,  an
assessment of overall risk and a review of historical  loss  experience,  it was
determined  that a $75,000  provisions  for bad debts was required for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.

           Net income  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996 was
$43,369 and $62,437,  respectively.  The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.12 and $.74, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

           For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997  and 1996 the  Partnership
leased  or  financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $56,130,601   and
$10,856,638,  respectively to 21 and 75 lessees or equipment users respectively.

resulted from an increase in finance income of $2,227,574, an increase in income
from leveraged leases of $752,313,  an increase in income from equity investment
in joint venture of $154,733 and an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing
of equipment of $39,180.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
interest  income and other of $91,313 or 69% from 1996.  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

$565,941, an increase in administrative  expense  reimbursements of $268,202, an
increase  in  provision  for bad debts of  $75,000,  an  increase in general and
administrative  expense of $87,560 and an increase in minority interest in joint
venture of $2,179.  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.  As a result of an  analysis  of  delinquency,  an
assessment of overall risk and a review of historical  loss  experience,  it was
determined  that a $75,000  provision  for bad debts  was  required  for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

           Net  income  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997 and 1996 was

                        (A Delaware Limited 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 $25,000,000. 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 June 30,  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.
