ICON CASH FLOW PARTNERS L.P. SEVEN MASTER SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 DATED JULY 10, 1998 TO PROSPECTUS DATED NOVEMBER 9, 1995 SUMMARY This Master Supplement No. 2 ("Master Supplement") updates and revises the prospectus dated November 9, 1995 (the "Prospectus") and replaces all previously dated Supplements to the Prospectus for ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (the "Partnership"). This Master Supplement forms a part of, and must be accompanied by the Prospectus. All cross-references are to sections of the Prospectus, and capitalized terms have the same definitions as those set forth in the Prospectus. The primary purposes of the Master Supplement are to: * Update the Status of the Offering; * Reflect Changes in Management; * Update the Prior Performance of the Prior Public Programs; * Reflect Revisions to the Partnership Agreement; * Update Financials of Sponsor and Partnership; and * Update Other Sections EACH POTENTIAL INVESTOR SHOULD THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE PROSPECTUS AND THIS MASTER SUPPLEMENT PRIOR TO SUBSCRIBING FOR UNITS IN THE PARTNERSHIP. ------------------------------- STATUS OF THE OFFERING The Offering commenced on November 9, 1995 (the "Effective Date") and was originally scheduled to terminate no later than November 9, 1997, but the General Partner has extended the termination date so that the Offering will terminate no later than November 9, 1998.. However, in order to avoid modifying the outside termination dates for the Reinvestment Period and the Disposition Period, the definition of the term Reinvestment Period in the Partnership Agreement was revised so that the Reinvestment Period will now end on November 9, 2002 (five (5) years from the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997), subject to the discretion of the General Partner to extend it for a further period of not more than an additional thirty-six (36) months. The definition of the term Disposition Period in the Partnership Agreement was also revised so that the Disposition Period will in no event extend beyond May 9, 2008 (ten and one-half (10 1/2) years after the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997), although it is expected to terminate sooner. The material under the captions "SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING", "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES", "SUMMARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT" should be considered revised to take these revisions into account. The Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, attached as Exhibit A to the Prospectus, has been revised to reflect the aforementioned changes pursuant to Amendment No. 1 dated October 1, 1997. As of June 30, 1998, a number of investor closings have been held reflecting the sale of 837,958.34 Units ($85,793,834) to 4,136 Limited Partners (exclusive of the Initial Limited Partner which has withdrawn in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus), which leaves a maximum of 142,061.66 Units ($14,206,166) available for sale. In view of these closings, the eleventh (next to last) "bullet" risk factor on the cover page of the Prospectus should be considered deleted because the Minimum Offering and the special Pennsylvania requirement described in such material have already been met. In view of the above-described closings, the material in the Prospectus on pages 92-93 under the heading "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION--Segregation of Subscription Payments" should be considered amended by deleting this 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 Page 1
POS AM4th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
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." CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT On August 20, 1996, ICON Holdings Corp. ("ICON Holdings") acquired ICON Capital Corp., the general partner (the "General Partner") of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven, and ICON Securities Corp. (the "Dealer-Manager"). ICON Holdings is a joint venture between Summit Asset Holding L.L.C. ("Summit"), a subsidiary of a diversified financial and business services group based in the United Kingdom, and Warrenton Capital Partners, L.L.C. ("Warrenton"), which was formed by three of the founders of Griffin Equity Partners, Inc., a U.S. company engaged in the acquisition of 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 effective August 20, 1996 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 ("Notes") to Peter D. Beekman, the seller, which were 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. The Notes were paid in full on June 24, 1997. Peter D. Beekman's security interest in ICON Holdings, the General Partner and the Dealer Manager was released. On May 29, 1998 Warrenton entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Summit pursuant to which Summit has assigned its right to vote its shares in ICON Holdings to Warrenton and agreed to transfer title of its shares to Warrenton at a closing to be held in the future. Inasmuch as the management of ICON Holdings and the General Partner was in the hands of Warrenton since August of 1996, the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement will not result in any change in the 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. In view of the management changes described above, the material appearing in the Prospectus under the heading "MANAGEMENT" on pages 44 to 46 of the Prospectus, other than the first two paragraphs under such heading should be considered replaced in their entirety by the following: "The officers and directors of the General Partner are: [Download Table] Beaufort J. B. Clarke Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Thomas W. Martin Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Director Paul B. Weiss Executive Vice President Allen V.

ICON Securities Corp. ICON Securities Corp., (the "Dealer-Manager"), is a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ICON Holdings Corp., which was formed in 1982 to manage the equity sales for investor programs sponsored by its Affiliates. The Dealer-Manager is registered with the U.S. 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." 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 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 lines indicate common ownership and the broken lines certain contractual relationships. All of the entities shown below are corporations except as otherwise indicated. [Enlarge/Download Table] ICON Securities Corp. ________________________ ICON Capital Corp.

Partner is owned by ICON Holdings Corp. | | | ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. || |--------------------------- Seven (the "Partnership") ---------------|" The second paragraph under the heading "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - Credit Review Procedures", on page 48 of the Prospectus which describe the role and nature of the Investment Committee, are revised to reflect the reduction of that Committee from five persons to four 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 an Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment Committee will, at all times, consist of at least four persons designated by the General Partner. It is anticipated that all persons comprising the Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment Committee are Beaufort J. B. Clarke, Paul B. Weiss, Thomas W. Martin and Robert W. Kohlmeyer, Jr." UPDATE OF THE PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRIOR PUBLIC PROGRAMS The section of the Prospectus on Page 41-43 under the heading, "OTHER OFFERINGS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES-Prior Public Programs" is amended by deleting the entire section and replacing it with the following paragraphs: "Prior Public Programs Page 4

"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"). Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and L.P. Six are referred to collectively as the "Prior Public Programs". The Prior Public Programs were 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). 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 August 6, 1993 (the final date for admission of its limited partners), Series E had held 27 closings beginning July 6, 1992 and ending on August 6, 1993, following which a total of 3,738 investors holding limited partnership interests equal to $61,041,150 out of the original $80,000,000 offering of such partnership were admitted as Limited Partners to the Series E partnership. As of November 8, 1995 (the final date for admission of its limited partners), L.P. Six had held 41 closings beginning March 31, 1994 and ending on November 8, 1995, following which a total of 2,272 investors holding limited partnership interests equal to $38,385,712 out of the original $120,000,000 offering of such partnership were admitted as Limited Partners to the Series Six partnership. Certain of the Prior Public Programs are actively engaged in the purchase of Equipment and the entering into and the acquiring of Leases and Financing Transactions. As of March 31, 1998, the Prior Public Programs had originated or acquired investments (stated in terms of their respective original acquisition costs) (all figures in this paragraph are by original cost) as follows: Series A had acquired a total of $6,033,973 of leased Equipment (by original cost), $1,542,785 of Financing Transactions (by original cost) and total investments of $7,576,758 (by original cost). Series B had acquired a total of $61,466,203 of leased Equipment, $4,114,770 of Financing Transactions and total investments of $65,580,973; Series C had acquired a total of $66,504,867 of leased Equipment, $3,752,413 of Financing Transactions and total investments of $70,257,280; Series D had acquired a total of $112,606,672 of leased Equipment, $20,164,549 of Financing Transactions and total investments of $132,771,421; Series E had acquired a total of $207,778,033 of leased Equipment, $22,998,729 of Financing Transactions and total investments of $230,776,762; and L.P. Six had acquired a total of $142,702,746 of leased Equipment, $12,307,967 of Financing Transactions and total investments of $155,010,713. As of March 31, 1998, Series A had Equipment under management (by original cost of investment acquired less the total original cost of assets sold) consisting of $98,055 of leases and $209,693 of Financing Transactions which represents 2% and 14% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively. Series B had Equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of $2,153,000 of leases and $1,516,343 of Financing Transactions which represents 4% and 37% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively. Series C had Equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of $4,081,683 of leases and $2,017,927 of Financing Transactions which represents 6% and 54% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively.

$73,180,285 of leases and $12,233,536 of Financing Transactions which represents 35% and 53% of the original cost of investments acquired, respectively, L.P. Six had Equipment under management (determined as above) consisting of $83,787,630 of leases and $4,192,552 of Financing Transactions which represents 59% and 34% of the original cost of investments acquired. 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, 1998 are included in TABLE III of Exhibit B to the Master Supplement. Certain additional investment information concerning such Programs as of March 31, 1998 is also included in Tables I, II and V of Exhibit B to the Master Supplement. 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 the Prospectus. 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 assist Series A, Series B and Series C in the partial recovery of 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) effective September 30, 1993 the Sponsor deferred $38,081 in Series A management fees and effective November 15, 1995 and June 19, 1996, eliminated Series B and C's obligation to pay $220,000 and $529,125, respectively, in accrued and future management fees; (4) effective January 1, 1994 reduced the management fees which Series A, Series B and Series C would each pay 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%; (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), which was converted to a capital contribution in September, 1997; (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 $220,000 of the $347,000 of accrued management fees and any future management fees, and (c) limit past management fees payable by Series B to $127,000 and require the General Partner to pay such amount to Series B as an additional capital contribution; and (8) effective June 19, 1996, amended the Partnership Agreement of Series C by vote of a majority of its Limited Partners to (a) extend the reinvestment period of Series C for up to four and one half additional years and thereby delay the start and the end of the Liquidation Period, and (b) eliminate the obligation of series B to pay the General Partner $529,125 of the $634,125 of management fees and (c) limit past management fees payable by Series C to $105,000 and require the General Partner to pay such amount to Series C as an additional capital contribution. 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 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, with exhibits, for the Page 6

Partnerships, 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.)" 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 30, 1998, $74,263,654 of net offering proceeds (after payment of Sales Commissions, Underwriting Fees and O & O Expense Allowance totaling $11,590,281--or 13.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds) available to the Partnership for investment in equipment and financing transactions and payment of acquisition fees. As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership has invested $54,244,495, or 73% of such net offering proceeds. 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 is held in short-term, liquid investments. The Partnership has and will continue 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 while this Offering is proceeding and during the period (expected to be completed no later than six (6) months thereafter) 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 Page 7

Transactions. See "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES"." Please see Exhibit C to this Master Supplement, "ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven Equipment Acquisitions", for information concerning the status of equipment acquisitions by the Partnership. As described on pages 93-95 of the Prospectus under the heading "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES", the Partnership has established certain minimum net worth and/or income standards and minimum investment requirements that generally must be met by all investors. However, as described in that section, certain states require different standards for investors in such states. Most of the states that have special standards are listed on pages 93-95 along with a special description of their particular standard. Investors should be aware that investors in the states of Massachusetts and Minnesota must meet standards that differ from those described on page 94 of the Prospectus, instead such investors must have either (a) annual gross income of $60,000 plus a net worth (determined exclusive of the net fair market value of (a) his or her home, (b) home furnishings and (a) personal automobiles) of $60,000 or (b) a net worth (determined as above) of at least $225,000. In addition, investors in the State of California must have (I) both (A) a net worth of not less than $45,000 (determined as above) and (B) $45,000 of annual gross income; or (ii) a net worth of at least $150,000 (determined as above). In addition to the foregoing, the minimum investment required has been revised in certain states so that the material on pages 93-94 under the heading "INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS; SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES--State Requirements Concerning Minimum Investor Net Worth/Income--Minimum Investment" section, is amended by deleting the paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following: "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 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 (for which the minimum investment is 20 Units) and Iowa (for which the minimum IRA account investment is 25 Units))." REVISIONS TO THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT The Offering commenced on November 9, 1995 (the "Effective Date") and was originally scheduled to terminate no later than November 9, 1997, but the General Partner has extended the termination date so that the Offering will terminate no later than November 9, 1998. However, in order to avoid modifying the outside termination dates for the Reinvestment Period and the Disposition Period, the definition of the term Reinvestment Period in the Partnership Agreement was revised so that the Reinvestment Period will now end on November 9, 2002 (five (5) years from the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997), subject to the discretion of the General Partner to extend it for a further period of not more than an additional thirty-six (36) months. The definition of the term Disposition Period in the Partnership Agreement was revised so that the Disposition Period will in no event extend beyond May 9, 2008 (ten and one-half (10 1/2) years after the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997), although it is expected to terminate sooner. The Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), attached as Exhibit A to the Prospectus, has been revised to reflect the aforementioned changes pursuant to an Amendment No. 1 dated October 1, 1997. This Amendment No. 1 revised the definitions of the following terms appearing in Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement so that each will now read as follows: "'Disposition Period" means the period commencing on the first day following the end of the Reinvestment Period and continuing for the period deemed necessary by the General Partner for orderly termination of its operations and affairs and liquidation or disposition of the Partnership's Investments and other assets and the realization of maximum Liquidation Proceeds therefor, which period is expected to continue not less than six (6), and not more than thirty (30), months beyond the end of the Reinvestment Period and which, in no event may extend beyond May 9, 2008 (ten and one-half (10 1/2) years after the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997)." "'Reinvestment Period" means the period commencing with the Initial Closing Date and ending November 9, 2002 (five (5) years from the originally scheduled offering termination date of November 9, 1997); provided that such period may be extended at the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner for a further period of not more than an additional 36 months." "Termination Date" means the earliest of (a) the date on which the Maximum Offering has been sold, (b) thirty six (36) Page 8

months following the Effective Date, and (c) the termination of the Offering by the General Partner at any time." UPDATE OF FINANCIALS OF SPONSOR AND PARTNERSHIP The audited financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the unaudited financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the audited financial statements of ICON Capital Corp. as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and for each of the years then ended are included as Exhibit A to this Master Supplement in order to update the financial information set forth on pages 101 to 123 of the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the inclusion of the General Partner's financial statements, purchasers of the Units offered hereby should be aware that they are not thereby purchasing an interest in ICON Capital Corp. or in any of its Affiliates or in any Prior Public Program. EXPERTS The audited financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the audited financial statements of ICON Capital Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and for each of the years then ended, have been included in this Master Supplement in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES Federal Income Tax Update The following update to the disclosure under the caption "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" in the Prospectus, was included in Cumulative Supplement No. 2 dated July 26, 1996 ("Supplement No. 2") to the Prospectus and has not been further updated since that time. Page 60, "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Opinion of Tax Counsel" section, is 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 Page 9
POS AM12th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
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." Page 10
POS AM13th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
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." Page 11

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 Leases" 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: Page 12

"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." 13

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 the Partnership leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $47,444,836 and $44,009,376, respectively to 6 and 15 lessees or equipment users respectively. The weighted average initial transaction term for each quarter was 59 and 44 months respectively. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $3,096,163, representing an increase of $1,538,144 from 1997. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from an increase in finance income of $1,465,377, an increase in interest income and other of $68,654 and an increase in income from equity investment in joint ventures of $72,725. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in income from leveraged leases of $35,721 and a decrease in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $32,891. The increase in finance income resulted from the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1997 to 1998. Income from equity investment in joint ventures increased due to the Partnership's March 1997 investment in ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC, the timing of which afforded only a partial month's income in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to a full three months for the period ended March 31, 1997. Interest income and other increased primarily as a result of the increase in the average cash balance from 1997 to 1998. Net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment decreased due to a decrease in the number of leases maturing, and the underlying equipment being sold or remarketed, for which the proceeds received were in excess of the remaining carrying value of the equipment. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $2,848,764, representing an increase of $1,416,288 from 1997. The increase in expenses was due to an increase in interest expense of $956,697, an increase in management fees of $120,824, an increase in amortization of initial direct costs of $112,717, an increase in administrative expense reimbursements of $56,354, an increase in general and administrative expense of $19,674, an increase in provision for bad debts of $150,000 and an increase in minority interest in joint venture of $22. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average debt outstanding from 1997 to 1998. Management fees, amortization of initial direct costs, administrative expense reimbursement and general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in the

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) March 31, 1998 average size of the portfolio from 1997 to 1998. A provision for bad debt was made during the first quarter of 1998 as a result of an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical loss experience. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $247,399 and $125,543, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited partnership unit was $.36 and $.40, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were capital contributions, net of offering expenses, of $14,530,069 and $4,833,663, from limited partners, respectively, net cash provided by operations of $93,208 and $(244,454), respectively, proceeds from sale of equipment of $0 and $1,793,586, respectively and proceeds from affiliate note of $0 and $4,250,000, respectively. 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, 1998 and 1997, which were paid monthly, totaled $1,858,176 and $767,568, respectively, of which $244,925 and $124,288 was investment income and $1,613,251 and $643,280 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly annualized cash distributions rate to limited partners was 10.75% of which 1.42% and 1.6% was investment income and 9.33% and 9.15% was a return of capital, respectively. The limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $2.69, of which $.35 and $.40 was investment income and $2.34 and $2.29 was a return of capital, respectively. In March 1997 the Partnership, Series D and L.P. Six contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created for the purpose of originating new leases, managing existing contributed assets and, eventually, securitizing its portfolio. On September 19, 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six contributed and assigned additional equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to 1997-A. The Partnership, Series D, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively the "1997-A Members") received a 19.97%, 17.81% 31.19% and 31.03% interest, respectively, in 1997-A based on the present value of their related contributions. In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively, the "1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"), for the purpose of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. As of March 31, 1998, except as noted above, there were no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which are likely to have any material effect on liquidity. As cash is realized from operations, sales of equipment and borrowings, the Partnership will invest in equipment leases and financings 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, 1997 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's maximum offering is $100,000,000. 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. As of December 31, 1997, 535,099.87 additional units had been admitted into the Partnership with aggregate gross proceeds of $53,509,987 bringing the total admission to 561,467.82 units totaling $56,146,782 in capital contributions. During 1997, 1,625.63 units were redeemed, leaving 559,842.19 partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1997. In the third quarter of 1997 the Partnership received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to extend the Partnership's offering period by twelve months. The Partnership's offering period will end no later than November 9, 1998. 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 $7,579,816 (including $3,088,993 paid to the General Partner or its affiliates (See Note 10) 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.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L. P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements - Continued 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 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 during 1996. The Partnership purchased a 100% interest of an option to acquire equipment during 1997. The assets will be carried at cost until sale or release of the equipment, at which time a gain or loss will be recognized on the transactions. No income will be recognized until the underlying equipment is sold or released. (See Note 3 for discussion of investment in estimated unguaranteed residual value). 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, 1997, the carrying value of the Partnership's financial assets other than lease related investments and liabilities 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 was effective beginning in 1996.

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. New Accounting Pronouncements - 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, 1997. 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. 3. Gain on Disposal of Residual Interest In December 1997 the Partnership disposed of its residual interest in two offshore supply vessels owned by Energy Land Corp. The disposal of the residual interest occurred in connection with the sale of the vessels to Hvide Marine, Inc. The vessels had previously been chartered by Occidental Equipment and Services, Inc. The Partnership's interest was acquired on April 9, 1997 for $3,430,000 cash. The Partnership paid $278,500 in initial direct costs related to the transaction. The residual interest was disposed of for total cash proceeds of $5,864,138. The Partnership earned $446,028 on the transaction from April 1997 through December 1997. The Partnership recognized a $1,709,610 gain upon disposal of its interest. 4. Residual Investment On December 31, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 50% share of an option to acquire a 100% interest in a drilling rig. The purchase price of the 50% investment was $12,325,000.

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 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (the "Partnership"), was formed on May 23, 1995 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced business operations on its initial closing date, January 19, 1996 with the admission of 26,367.95 limited partnership units at $100 per unit representing $2,636,795 of capital contributions. Between January 19, 1996 and December 31, 1996, 249,172.52 additional units were admitted representing $24,917,252 of capital contributions. In 1997, 285,927.35 additional units were admitted representing $28,592,735 of capital contributions. In 1997, 1,625.63 units were redeemed, leaving 559,842.19 partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1997. The Partnership's portfolio consisted of net investments in finance leases, investment in estimated unguaranteed residual value, leveraged leases, equity investment in joint ventures and financings representing 72%, 18%, 8%, 1% and 1% of total investments at December 31, 1997, respectively, and 42%, 0%, 21%, 26% and 11% of total investments at December 31, 1996, respectively. Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership purchased and leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $119,155,086 and $91,413,135, respectively, to 13 and 198 lessees or equipment users. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $9,749,244 representing an increase of $8,185,175 from 1996. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in finance income of $5,215,851, an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $1,748,790 or 100%, an increase in income from leverage leases of $924,541 and an increase in income from equity investment in joint ventures of $436,216. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income and other of $140,223 or 54%. Finance income increased due to the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997. The net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment increased due to the December 1997 termination of the Partnership's residual interests in two offshore supply vessels resulting in a gain on termination of $1,709,610. Income from leverage leases increased due to the increase in the average size of the leverage lease portfolio from 1996 to 1997. Income from equity investment in joint ventures increased as a direct result of the Partnership's 1997 contribution to ICON Receivables 1997-A L.L.C. ("1997-A") and ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"). These contributions consisted of equipment lease and finance receivables, residuals and cash totaling $6,650,460. Interest income and other decreased due to a decrease in the average cash balance from 1996 to 1997. Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $7,099,664, representing an increase of $5,941,046 from 1996. The increase in expenses was attributable to an increase in interest expense of $3,254,317, an increase in management fees of $1,257,261, an increase in amortization of initial direct cost of $701,338, an increase in administrative expense reimbursement of $534,510, an increase in general and administrative expenses of $114,240, an increase in provision for bad debts of $75,000 and an increase in minority interest in joint ventures of $4,380. Interest expense increased due to the increase in the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. Management fees, amortization of initial direct cost, administrative expense reimbursement and general and administrative expenses increased due to the average size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997. A provision for bad debts was made in 1997 as a result of an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical loss experience. The increase in minority interest in joint ventures resulted from the Partnership's 1997 investment in joint ventures.

The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing to the noteholders their respective principal and interest and to 1997-A the excess of cash collected over debt service from the portfolio. The 1997-A Members received their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from 1997-A. The Partnership's share of the net proceeds from the securitization totaled $4,889,804. The Partnership used these proceeds to payoff the $4,250,000 note payable to 1997-A. The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under the equity method of accounting. The 1997-A Members may receive, in accordance with their membership interests, additional proceeds if 1997-A generates excess cash (cash after payment of debt and expenses). In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively, the "1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B LLC ("1997-B"), for the purpose of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. The 1997-B Members contributed $500,000 (16.67% interest), $250,000 (8.33% interest) and $2,250,000 (75.00% interest), respectively to 1997-B. In order to fund the acquisition of additional leases, 1997-B obtained a warehouse borrowing facility from Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the "1997-B Warehouse Facility"). Borrowings under the 1997-B Warehouse Facility are based on the present value of the new leases, provided that in the aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $40,000,000. Outstanding amounts under the 1997-B Warehouse Facility bear interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%. Collections of receivables from leases are used to pay down the 1997-B Warehouse Facility, however, in the event of a default, all of 1997-B'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 1997-B Warehouse Facility balance and the remaining proceeds will be distributed to the 1997-B Members in accordance with their membership interests. The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-B under the equity method of accounting. The 1997-B Members may receive, in accordance with their membership interests, additional proceeds if 1997-B generates excess cash (cash after payment of debt and expenses). As of December 31, 1997 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 CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 1998 (1) Organization ------------ ICON Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1985. Until August 20, 1996, the Company was owned by three individuals. 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 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"). The primary activity of the Company is the development, marketing and management of publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships. The Company will, on occasion, also provide 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 which totaled $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 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 offering period for ICON Cash Flow Seven will end 36 months after ICON Cash Flow Seven began offering such units, November 9, 1998. The following table identifies pertinent offering information by the Partnerships: [Download Table] Date Operations Date Ceased Gross Proceeds Began Offering Units Raised ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ICON Cash Flow A May 6, 1988 February 1, 1989 $ 2,504,500 ICON Cash Flow B September 22, 1989 November 15, 1990 20,000,000 ICON Cash Flow C January 3, 1991 June 20, 1991 20,000,000 ICON Cash Flow D September 13, 1991 June 5, 1992 40,000,000 ICON Cash Flow E June 5, 1992 July 31, 1993 61,041,151 ICON Cash Flow Six March 31, 1994 November 8, 1995 38,385,712 ICON Cash Flow Seven January 19, 1996 (1) 81,574,845 ---------------- $ 263,506,208 ================ (1) Gross proceeds raised through May 31, 1998.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (2) Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------- (a) 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 Company's financial instruments (cash, receivables and notes payable) are either payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit and interest rate risk, and as a result, their fair value approximates carrying value at March 31, 1998. (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 managing the Partnership's equipment and financing transactions. Management and administrative fees are earned upon receipt of rental payments from lease and financing transactions. Effective September 1, 1993, ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B, and ICON Cash Flow C decreased monthly distributions to the limited partners from the cash distribution rates stated in their prospectuses to an annual rate of 9%. As a result, all management fees payable to the Company related to these entities had been deferred until the limited partners of ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C received their stated cash distribution rate of return on a cumulative basis. Due to the approval of amendments to the ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C Partnership Agreements, effective November 15, 1995 and June 19, 1996, The Company eliminated ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C's obligation to pay $220,000 and $529,125, respectively of the original management fees deferred. As of December 31, 1997, ICON Cash Flow A investors had received the stated annual rate of return, and as a result the Company reversed $38,081 in deferred management fees and recognized such fees as income. Management fees in the amount of $232,000 are deferred and outstanding at March 31, 1998, of which $127,000 is due from ICON Cash Flow B and $105,000 is due from ICON Cash Flow C. Such amounts are included in receivables due from managed partnerships as well as in deferred management fees on the March 31, 1998 balance sheet.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (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) 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 filed stand alone Federal and state income tax returns for the period April 1, 1996 to August 20, 1996. Thereafter the Company's activity is included in the combined Federal and state income tax returns of Holdings. (3) Stockholder's Equity -------------------- As of March 31, 1998, the Company held a demand promissory note for $1,100,000 from Holdings. The note is without interest, except in the case of default, at which time the note would bear interest at the rate of 18%. The note is reflected for financial statement reporting purposes as a reduction from stockholders' equity.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (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 partnerships relate to such fees, which have been earned by the Company but not paid by the Partnerships. The Company also earns a management fee from Securities for the support and administration of Securities' operations. Receivables from affiliates are due primarily from Holdings. Such receivables relate to the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Company on behalf of Holdings for items such as investment in a securitization trust and debt obligations. For the year ended March 31, 1998, the Company paid $1,328,440 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. (6) Income Taxes The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 consisted of the following: [Download Table] 1998 1997 ---- ---- Current Federal $172,280 $ 185,780 State 54,302 154,998 -------- --------- Total current 226,582 340,778 -------- --------- Deferred: Federal 100,481 (24,563) State 227,779 (204,205) -------- ---------- Total deferred 328,260 (228,768) -------- --------- Total $554,842 $ 112,010 ======== ========= 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 liabilities at March 31, 1998 and 1997 of $583,436 and $347,155, respectively, are net of deferred tax assets of $91,979 at March 31, 1997. Deferred income taxes at March 31, 1998 are primarily the result of temporary differences relating to the carrying value of fixed assets, the investments in the Partnerships and deferred charges.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (8) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease --------------------------------------------- In December 1993, the Company invested $5,340,436 in manufacturing equipment and leased such equipment to a third party for a two year period. 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 initial lease term. 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. On January 1, 1996, the lessee renewed the lease and the bank extended the term of the non-recourse note. The terms of the renewal required 24 monthly installments of $171,294 through December 1997. Such rental payments continued to be paid directly to the financial institution to reduce the loan, with interest calculated at 8.95%. The lease terminated in fiscal 1997 and the Company recognized a gain of $1,694 on disposition. (9) Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- The Company has operating leases for office space through the year 2004. Rent expense for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled to $497,223 and $347,990, net of sublease income of $155,749 and $170,602, respectively.

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. (3) 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. (4) 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 any 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.

(2) 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. (3) 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. (4) The Partnership's Reinvestment Period expired on June 19, 1996, 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 February 19, 1998 these amendments were agreed to and are effective from and after June 19, 1996. The amendments: (1) extend the Reinvestment Period for a maximum of four and one half 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 $529,125 of the $634,125 accrued and unpaid management fees as of December 31, 1997 and any 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 $105,000 ($634,125 less $529,125) will be returned to the Partnership in the form of an additional Capital Contribution by the General Partner.

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.

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."

(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).

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.

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.

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."

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.

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. Minimum Offering Maximum Offering Dollar Dollar Amount %(1) Amount %(1) Gross Offerings Proceeds (2) $1,200,000 100.00% $100,000,000 100.00% Expenses: Sales Commissions (3) (96,000) (8.00%) (8,000,000) (8.00%) Underwriting Fees (4) (24,000) (2.00%) (2,000,000) (2.00%) O&O Expense Allowance (5) (42,000) (3.50%) (3,500,000) (3.50%) Public Offering Expenses (162,000) (13.50%) (13,500,000) (13.50%) Reserves (6) (12,000) (1.00%) (1,000,000) (1.00%) -------- ------- ------------------ Gross Offering Proceeds Available for Investment 1,026,000 85.50% 85,500,000 85.50% Acquisition Fees (attributable to Offering Proceeds and Borrowings)(7) (138,000) (11.50%) (11,500,000) (11.50%) --------- -------- -------------------- Gross Offering Proceeds Used to Make Investments $888,000 74.00% $74,000,000 74.00% ========= ====== ================== (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).

Organizational and Offering Expenses in a greater or lesser amount than the O & O Expense Allowance. The General Partner has agreed in the Partnership Agreement to pay actual Organizational and Offering Expenses for this Offering to the extent such expenses exceed the O & O Expense Allowance. The General Partner will pay or advance the bona fide due diligence fees and expenses of the Dealer-Manager and actual and prospective Selling Dealers on a fully accountable basis from such Allowance up to, but not in excess, of the lesser of the maximum amount payable under the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, or 1/2 of 1% of Gross Offering Proceeds.

If (a) 80% of the Purchase Price of all Investments consists, on average, of other borrowed funds(1) and (b) Commission Loans in the maximum amount (8% of Gross Offering Proceeds) are obtained, then Acquisition Fees equal to 2.49% of Gross Offering Proceeds(2) would be paid from such Proceeds and Acquisition Fees equal to 9.01% of Gross Offering Proceeds would be attributable to borrowed funds (0.23% to Commission Loans and 8.78% to other borrowings). (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). [Download Table] If (a) 80% of the purchase price of all Investments, on average, consists of borrowed funds and (b) no Commission Loans are obtained, then Acquisition Fees equal to 2.49% of Gross Offering Proceeds would be paid from such Proceeds and Acquisition Fees equal to 9.01% of Gross Offering Proceeds would be attributable to borrowed funds. Under both such assumptions, total Acquisition Fees would equal 11.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds (or $138,000 if the Minimum Offering of 12,000 Units is sold and $11,500,000 if the Maximum Offering of 1,000,000 Units is sold). In calculating Acquisition Fees, fees payable by or on behalf of the Partnership to unaffiliated finders and brokers will be deducted from Acquisition Fees otherwise payable to the General Partner. No finder's or broker's fees may be paid to any Affiliate of the General Partner. Acquisition Fees are required to be reduced or refunded if the Partnership's Investment in Equipment is less than the greater of (i) 80% of the Gross Offering Proceeds reduced by .0625% for each 1% of borrowings encumbering Partnership Equipment, or (ii) 75% of the Gross Offering Proceeds. For purposes of determining the Partnership's Investment in Equipment, Reserves in an amount up to 3% of Gross Offering Proceeds may be treated as so invested.

No Subordinated Remarketing Fee will accrue or be payable with respect to any portion of Cash From Sales which is reinvested in additional Partnership Investments. Payment of such Subordinated Remarketing Fee will be deferred until after payout and will be made without interest.

Tax Purposes (share allocable to the allocated shares of Partnership General Partner Profits and Losses for Tax Purposes that generally approximate its share of Distributable Cash From Operations and of Distributable Cash From Sales. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES--Allocations of Profits and Losses." 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." 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." 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.

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 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 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.

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:
POS AM134th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 134th
(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--

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.
POS AM136th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 136th
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

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 the date Offering Offering hereof (1) (12,000 Units) (1,000,000 Units) ---------- ------------ --------------- General Partner's Capital Contribution (1) $ 1,000 $ 1,000 $1,000 Limited Partner's Capital Contribution (2) 1,000(1) 1,200,000 100,000,000 ----- --------- ----------- Total Capitalization $ 2,000 $ 1,201,000 $100,001,000 Less Estimated Organizational and Offering Expenses (3) - (162,000) (13,500,000) ----------- ---------- -------------- 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."

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 Events Causing Dissolution The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events (each a "Dissolution Event") (i) the withdrawal of the General Partner (unless a Substitute General Partner has been duly admitted to the Partnership); (ii) the voluntary dissolution of the Partnership (A) by the General Partner with the Consent of the Majority Interest or (B) subject to Section 13 of the Partnership Agreement, by the Consent of the Majority Interest without action by the General Partner; (iii) the Sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership; (iv) expiration of the Partnership term specified in the Partnership Agreement; (v) the Operations of the Partnership shall cease to constitute legal activities under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law; or (vi) any other event which causes the dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership under the Delaware Act. Liquidation of Partnership Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the 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.

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 any manner allow the Limited Partners to take part in the control or management of the Partnership's business, and (B) may not, without the 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 the Partnership (except any such Sale or series of Sales in the ordinary course of liquidating the Partnership's Investments during the Disposition Period (see "Dissolution and Winding-up--Liquidation of Partnership", in this Section); and (iv) removal of the General Partner and election of one or more Substitute General Partners. Limited Partners who dissent from any vote approved by the Majority Interest are bound by such vote and do not have a right to appraisal of, or automatic repurchase of, their Units as a result thereof. Amendments Amendment by Limited Partners without Concurrence of the General Partner. The Limited Partners, acting by the Consent of the Majority Interest without the concurrence of the General Partner, may amend the Partnership Agreement to effect any change therein, except (i) in any manner to allow the Limited Partners to take part in the control or management of the Partnership's 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 provisions of the Partnership Agreement relating to amendments of the Partnership Agreement will require the Consent of each Limited Partner and (y) any amendment that will increase the liability of any Partner or adversely affect any Partner's share of distributions of cash or allocations of Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes or of any investment tax credit amounts of the Partnership will require the Consent of each Partner affected thereby.

Amendment by General Partner without the Consent of the Limited Partners. The General Partner may, without the Consent of the Majority Interest, amend the Partnership Agreement to effect any change therein for the benefit or protection of the Limited Partners, including, without limitation: (i) to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the General Partner or to surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner; (ii) to cure any ambiguity in, or to correct or supplement, any provision thereof; (iii) to preserve the status of the Partnership as a "limited partnership" for federal income tax purposes (or under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law); (iv) to delete or add any provision thereof or thereto required to be so deleted or added by the Commission, by any other federal or state regulatory body or other agency (including, without limitation, any "blue sky" commission) or by any Administrator or similar official; (v) to permit the Units to fall within any exemption from the definition of "plan assets" contained in Section 2510.3-101 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations; (vi) under certain circumstances, to amend the allocation provisions thereof, in accordance with the advice of Tax Counsel, the Accountants or the IRS, to the minimum extent necessary; and (vii) to change the name of the Partnership or the location of its principal office.

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.

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.

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."

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."

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;
POS AM147th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 147th
(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.
POS AM148th “Page” of 270TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 148th
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.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations March 31, 1998 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. Between January 19, 1996 and December 31, 1996, 249,172.52 additional units were admitted representing $24,917,252 of capital contributions. In 1997, 285,927.35 additional units were admitted representing $28,592,735 of capital contributions and 1,625.63 units were redeemed. From January 1, 1998 to March 31, 1998, 167,977.67 additional units were admitted, bringing the total units and capital subscriptions to 727,819.86 and $72,781,986, respectively. The Partnership's portfolio consisted of a net investment in finance leases, leveraged leases, equity investment in joint ventures, investment in estimated unguaranteed residual values and financings representing 77%, 7%, 1%, 14% and less than 1% of total investments at March 31, 1998, respectively and 78%, 14%, 7%, 0% and 1% at March 31, 1997, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 the Partnership leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $47,444,836 and $44,009,376, respectively to 6 and 15 lessees or equipment users respectively. The weighted average initial transaction term for each quarter was 59 and 44 months respectively. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $3,096,163, representing an increase of $1,538,144 from 1997. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from an increase in finance income of $1,465,377, an increase in interest income and other of $68,654 and an increase in income from equity investment in joint ventures of $72,725. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in income from leveraged leases of $35,721 and a decrease in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $32,891. The increase in finance income resulted from the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1997 to 1998. Income from equity investment in joint ventures increased due to the Partnership's March 1997 investment in ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC, the timing of which afforded only a partial month's income in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to a full three months for the period ended March 31, 1997. Interest income and other increased primarily as a result of the increase in the average cash balance from 1997 to 1998. Net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment decreased due to a decrease in the number of leases maturing, and the underlying equipment being sold or remarketed, for which the proceeds received were in excess of the remaining carrying value of the equipment. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $2,848,764, representing an increase of $1,416,288 from 1997. The increase in expenses was due to an increase in interest expense of $956,697, an increase in management fees of $120,824, an increase in amortization of initial direct costs of $112,717, an increase in administrative expense reimbursements of $56,354, an increase in general and administrative expense of $19,674, an increase in provision for bad debts of $150,000 and an increase in minority interest in joint venture of $22. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average debt outstanding from 1997 to 1998. Management fees, amortization of initial direct costs, administrative expense reimbursement and general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in the

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) March 31, 1998 average size of the portfolio from 1997 to 1998. A provision for bad debt was made during the first quarter of 1998 as a result of an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical loss experience. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $247,399 and $125,543, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited partnership unit was $.36 and $.40, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were capital contributions, net of offering expenses, of $14,530,069 and $4,833,663, from limited partners, respectively, net cash provided by operations of $93,208 and $(244,454), respectively, proceeds from sale of equipment of $0 and $1,793,586, respectively and proceeds from affiliate note of $0 and $4,250,000, respectively. 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, 1998 and 1997, which were paid monthly, totaled $1,858,176 and $767,568, respectively, of which $244,925 and $124,288 was investment income and $1,613,251 and $643,280 was a return of capital, respectively. The monthly annualized cash distributions rate to limited partners was 10.75% of which 1.42% and 1.6% was investment income and 9.33% and 9.15% was a return of capital, respectively. The limited partner distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $2.69, of which $.35 and $.40 was investment income and $2.34 and $2.29 was a return of capital, respectively. In March 1997 the Partnership, Series D and L.P. Six contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created for the purpose of originating new leases, managing existing contributed assets and, eventually, securitizing its portfolio. On September 19, 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six contributed and assigned additional equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to 1997-A. The Partnership, Series D, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively the "1997-A Members") received a 19.97%, 17.81% 31.19% and 31.03% interest, respectively, in 1997-A based on the present value of their related contributions. In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively, the "1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"), for the purpose of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. As of March 31, 1998, except as noted above, there were no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which are likely to have any material effect on liquidity. As cash is realized from operations, sales of equipment and borrowings, the Partnership will invest in equipment leases and financings 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, 1997 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's maximum offering is $100,000,000. 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. As of December 31, 1997, 535,099.87 additional units had been admitted into the Partnership with aggregate gross proceeds of $53,509,987 bringing the total admission to 561,467.82 units totaling $56,146,782 in capital contributions. During 1997, 1,625.63 units were redeemed, leaving 559,842.19 partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1997. In the third quarter of 1997 the Partnership received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to extend the Partnership's offering period by twelve months. The Partnership's offering period will end no later than November 9, 1998. 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 $7,579,816 (including $3,088,993 paid to the General Partner or its affiliates (See Note 10) 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.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L. P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements - Continued 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 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 during 1996. The Partnership purchased a 100% interest of an option to acquire equipment during 1997. The assets will be carried at cost until sale or release of the equipment, at which time a gain or loss will be recognized on the transactions. No income will be recognized until the underlying equipment is sold or released. (See Note 3 for discussion of investment in estimated unguaranteed residual value). 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, 1997, the carrying value of the Partnership's financial assets other than lease related investments and liabilities 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 was effective beginning in 1996.

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. New Accounting Pronouncements - 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, 1997. 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. 3. Gain on Disposal of Residual Interest In December 1997 the Partnership disposed of its residual interest in two offshore supply vessels owned by Energy Land Corp. The disposal of the residual interest occurred in connection with the sale of the vessels to Hvide Marine, Inc. The vessels had previously been chartered by Occidental Equipment and Services, Inc. The Partnership's interest was acquired on April 9, 1997 for $3,430,000 cash. The Partnership paid $278,500 in initial direct costs related to the transaction. The residual interest was disposed of for total cash proceeds of $5,864,138. The Partnership earned $446,028 on the transaction from April 1997 through December 1997. The Partnership recognized a $1,709,610 gain upon disposal of its interest. 4. Residual Investment On December 31, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 50% share of an option to acquire a 100% interest in a drilling rig. The purchase price of the 50% investment was $12,325,000.

In order to fund the acquisition of new leases, 1997-A obtained a warehouse borrowing facility from Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the "1997-A Facility"). Borrowings under the 1997-A Facility were based on the present value of the new leases. Outstanding amounts under the 1997-A Facility bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%. On September 19, 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value of $0, $15,547,305 and $5,225,794 and cash of $484,244, $740,000 and $300,000, respectively to 1997-A.

On September 19, 1997, 1997-A securitized substantially all of its equipment leases and finance receivables and residuals. The net proceeds from the securitization totaled $47,140,183, of which $16,658,877 was used to pay down the 1997-A Facility, and the remaining proceeds, after establishing reserves for expenses, were distributed to the 1997-A Members based on their respective interests. The Partnership's share of the net proceeds from the securitization totaled $4,889,804. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a trust. The trustee for the trust is Texas Commerce Bank ("TCB"). In conjunction with this securitization, the portfolio as well as the General Partner's servicing capabilities were rated "AA" by Duff & Phelps and Fitch, both nationally recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing to the noteholders their respective principal and interest and to 1997-A the excess of cash collected over debt service from the portfolio. The 1997-A Members received their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from 1997-A. The Partnership used these proceeds to payoff the $4,250,000 note payable to 1997-A.The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under the equity method of accounting.

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 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (the "Partnership"), was formed on May 23, 1995 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership commenced business operations on its initial closing date, January 19, 1996 with the admission of 26,367.95 limited partnership units at $100 per unit representing $2,636,795 of capital contributions. Between January 19, 1996 and December 31, 1996, 249,172.52 additional units were admitted representing $24,917,252 of capital contributions. In 1997, 285,927.35 additional units were admitted representing $28,592,735 of capital contributions. In 1997, 1,625.63 units were redeemed, leaving 559,842.19 partnership units outstanding at December 31, 1997. The Partnership's portfolio consisted of net investments in finance leases, investment in estimated unguaranteed residual value, leveraged leases, equity investment in joint ventures and financings representing 72%, 18%, 8%, 1% and 1% of total investments at December 31, 1997, respectively, and 42%, 0%, 21%, 26% and 11% of total investments at December 31, 1996, respectively. Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership purchased and leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $119,155,086 and $91,413,135, respectively, to 13 and 198 lessees or equipment users. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $9,749,244 representing an increase of $8,185,175 from 1996. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in finance income of $5,215,851, an increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment of $1,748,790 or 100%, an increase in income from leverage leases of $924,541 and an increase in income from equity investment in joint ventures of $436,216. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income and other of $140,223 or 54%. Finance income increased due to the increase in the average size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997. The net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment increased due to the December 1997 termination of the Partnership's residual interests in two offshore supply vessels resulting in a gain on termination of $1,709,610. Income from leverage leases increased due to the increase in the average size of the leverage lease portfolio from 1996 to 1997. Income from equity investment in joint ventures increased as a direct result of the Partnership's 1997 contribution to ICON Receivables 1997-A L.L.C. ("1997-A") and ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"). These contributions consisted of equipment lease and finance receivables, residuals and cash totaling $6,650,460. Interest income and other decreased due to a decrease in the average cash balance from 1996 to 1997. Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $7,099,664, representing an increase of $5,941,046 from 1996. The increase in expenses was attributable to an increase in interest expense of $3,254,317, an increase in management fees of $1,257,261, an increase in amortization of initial direct cost of $701,338, an increase in administrative expense reimbursement of $534,510, an increase in general and administrative expenses of $114,240, an increase in provision for bad debts of $75,000 and an increase in minority interest in joint ventures of $4,380. Interest expense increased due to the increase in the average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. Management fees, amortization of initial direct cost, administrative expense reimbursement and general and administrative expenses increased due to the average size of the portfolio from 1996 to 1997. A provision for bad debts was made in 1997 as a result of an analysis of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical loss experience. The increase in minority interest in joint ventures resulted from the Partnership's 1997 investment in joint ventures.

Six") contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value of $5,391,216, $4,805,676 and $5,304,010 and cash of $275,000, $125,000 and $300,000, respectively to ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC ("1997-A"), a special purpose entity created 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 "1997-A Facility"). Borrowings under the 1997-A Facility were based on the present value of the new leases. Outstanding amounts under the 1997-A Facility bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%. On September 19, 1997 the Partnership, ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("Series E") and L.P. Six contributed and assigned equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals with a net book value of $0, $15,547,305 and $5,225,794 and cash of $484,244, $740,000 and $300,000, respectively to 1997-A. The Partnership, Series D, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively the "1997-A Members") received a 19.97%, 17.81% 31.19% and 31.03% interest, respectively, in 1997-A based on the present value of their related contributions.

ICON Cash Flow Partners L. P. Seven (A Delaware Limited Partnership) December 31, 1997 On September 19, 1997, 1997-A securitized substantially all of its equipment leases and finance receivables and residuals. The net proceeds from the securitization totaled $47,140,183, of which $16,658,877 was used to pay down the 1997-A Facility, and the remaining proceeds, after establishing reserves for expenses, were distributed to the 1997-A Members based on their respective interests. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a trust. The trustee for the trust is Texas Commerce Bank ("TCB"). In conjunction with this securitization, the portfolio as well as the General Partner's servicing capabilities were rated "AA" by Duff & Phelps and Fitch, both nationally recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing to the noteholders their respective principal and interest and to 1997-A the excess of cash collected over debt service from the portfolio. The 1997-A Members received their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from 1997-A. The Partnership's share of the net proceeds from the securitization totaled $4,889,804. The Partnership used these proceeds to payoff the $4,250,000 note payable to 1997-A. The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under the equity method of accounting. The 1997-A Members may receive, in accordance with their membership interests, additional proceeds if 1997-A generates excess cash (cash after payment of debt and expenses). In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Six (collectively, the "1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B LLC ("1997-B"), for the purpose of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. The 1997-B Members contributed $500,000 (16.67% interest), $250,000 (8.33% interest) and $2,250,000 (75.00% interest), respectively to 1997-B. In order to fund the acquisition of additional leases, 1997-B obtained a warehouse borrowing facility from Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the "1997-B Warehouse Facility"). Borrowings under the 1997-B Warehouse Facility are based on the present value of the new leases, provided that in the aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $40,000,000. Outstanding amounts under the 1997-B Warehouse Facility bear interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%. Collections of receivables from leases are used to pay down the 1997-B Warehouse Facility, however, in the event of a default, all of 1997-B'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 1997-B Warehouse Facility balance and the remaining proceeds will be distributed to the 1997-B Members in accordance with their membership interests. The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-B under the equity method of accounting. The 1997-B Members may receive, in accordance with their membership interests, additional proceeds if 1997-B generates excess cash (cash after payment of debt and expenses). As of December 31, 1997 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 CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 1998 (1) Organization ------------ ICON Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1985. Until August 20, 1996, the Company was owned by three individuals. 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 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"). The primary activity of the Company is the development, marketing and management of publicly registered equipment leasing limited partnerships. The Company will, on occasion, also provide 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 which totaled $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 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 offering period for ICON Cash Flow Seven will end 36 months after ICON Cash Flow Seven began offering such units, November 9, 1998. The following table identifies pertinent offering information by the Partnerships: [Download Table] Date Operations Date Ceased Gross Proceeds Began Offering Units Raised ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ICON Cash Flow A May 6, 1988 February 1, 1989 $ 2,504,500 ICON Cash Flow B September 22, 1989 November 15, 1990 20,000,000 ICON Cash Flow C January 3, 1991 June 20, 1991 20,000,000 ICON Cash Flow D September 13, 1991 June 5, 1992 40,000,000 ICON Cash Flow E June 5, 1992 July 31, 1993 61,041,151 ICON Cash Flow Six March 31, 1994 November 8, 1995 38,385,712 ICON Cash Flow Seven January 19, 1996 (1) 81,574,845 ---------------- $ 263,506,208 ================ (1) Gross proceeds raised through May 31, 1998.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (2) Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------- (a) 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 Company's financial instruments (cash, receivables and notes payable) are either payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit and interest rate risk, and as a result, their fair value approximates carrying value at March 31, 1998. (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 managing the Partnership's equipment and financing transactions. Management and administrative fees are earned upon receipt of rental payments from lease and financing transactions. Effective September 1, 1993, ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B, and ICON Cash Flow C decreased monthly distributions to the limited partners from the cash distribution rates stated in their prospectuses to an annual rate of 9%. As a result, all management fees payable to the Company related to these entities had been deferred until the limited partners of ICON Cash Flow A, ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C received their stated cash distribution rate of return on a cumulative basis. Due to the approval of amendments to the ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C Partnership Agreements, effective November 15, 1995 and June 19, 1996, The Company eliminated ICON Cash Flow B and ICON Cash Flow C's obligation to pay $220,000 and $529,125, respectively of the original management fees deferred. As of December 31, 1997, ICON Cash Flow A investors had received the stated annual rate of return, and as a result the Company reversed $38,081 in deferred management fees and recognized such fees as income. Management fees in the amount of $232,000 are deferred and outstanding at March 31, 1998, of which $127,000 is due from ICON Cash Flow B and $105,000 is due from ICON Cash Flow C. Such amounts are included in receivables due from managed partnerships as well as in deferred management fees on the March 31, 1998 balance sheet.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (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) 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 filed stand alone Federal and state income tax returns for the period April 1, 1996 to August 20, 1996. Thereafter the Company's activity is included in the combined Federal and state income tax returns of Holdings. (3) Stockholder's Equity -------------------- As of March 31, 1998, the Company held a demand promissory note for $1,100,000 from Holdings. The note is without interest, except in the case of default, at which time the note would bear interest at the rate of 18%. The note is reflected for financial statement reporting purposes as a reduction from stockholders' equity.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (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 partnerships relate to such fees, which have been earned by the Company but not paid by the Partnerships. The Company also earns a management fee from Securities for the support and administration of Securities' operations. Receivables from affiliates are due primarily from Holdings. Such receivables relate to the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Company on behalf of Holdings for items such as investment in a securitization trust and debt obligations. For the year ended March 31, 1998, the Company paid $1,328,440 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. (6) Income Taxes The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 consisted of the following: [Download Table] 1998 1997 ---- ---- Current Federal $172,280 $ 185,780 State 54,302 154,998 -------- --------- Total current 226,582 340,778 -------- --------- Deferred: Federal 100,481 (24,563) State 227,779 (204,205) -------- ---------- Total deferred 328,260 (228,768) -------- --------- Total $554,842 $ 112,010 ======== ========= 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 liabilities at March 31, 1998 and 1997 of $583,436 and $347,155, respectively, are net of deferred tax assets of $91,979 at March 31, 1997. Deferred income taxes at March 31, 1998 are primarily the result of temporary differences relating to the carrying value of fixed assets, the investments in the Partnerships and deferred charges.

ICON CAPITAL CORP. Notes to Financial Statements - Continued (8) Investment in Equipment Under Operating Lease --------------------------------------------- In December 1993, the Company invested $5,340,436 in manufacturing equipment and leased such equipment to a third party for a two year period. 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 initial lease term. 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. On January 1, 1996, the lessee renewed the lease and the bank extended the term of the non-recourse note. The terms of the renewal required 24 monthly installments of $171,294 through December 1997. Such rental payments continued to be paid directly to the financial institution to reduce the loan, with interest calculated at 8.95%. The lease terminated in fiscal 1997 and the Company recognized a gain of $1,694 on disposition. (9) Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- The Company has operating leases for office space through the year 2004.

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 Loan in an amount equal to the purchase price paid for such Equipment and shall be entitled to receive interest on such amount in accordance with clause (i) above. Any advances made by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the purpose of paying Organizational and Offering Expenses shall not constitute a Partnership Loan, but shall be reimbursed to the General Partner or such Affiliate (to the extent possible) from the O & O Expense Allowance without interest thereon in accordance with, and to the extent provided in, Section 6.4(e) of this Agreement.

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. 6.4 Compensation of General Partner and its Affiliates. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall, in their respective capacities as such, receive any salary, fees, profits, distributions or other compensation except in accordance with this Section 6.4. (a) Allocations and Distributions. The General Partner shall be entitled to receive the allocations and distributions provided for under Section 8 in respect of the Interest held by it as General Partner. (b) Underwriting Fees. Underwriting Fees shall be paid by the Partnership to the Dealer-Manager in respect of each Unit sold. (c) Sales Commissions. Sales Commissions shall be paid by the Partnership to the Dealer-Manager and each Selling-Dealer in respect of the respective Units sold by each of them, provided that no Sales Commissions shall be payable by the Partnership in respect of any Units sold to Affiliated Limited Partners, and, provided further, that the Sales Commissions payable with regard to sales of Units subject to Volume Discounts shall be reduced by the amount of such Volume Discounts. (d) Due Diligence Expenses. Due Diligence Expenses actually incurred in connection with the Offering shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership to the Dealer-Manager and each Selling Manager, provided that the Dealer-Manager shall be entitled to payment of or reimbursement for Due Diligence Expenses only after each Selling Dealer (whether prospective or actual) shall have first been paid or reimbursed for all Due Diligence Expenses of such Selling Dealer, and provided, further, that the amount of Due Diligence Expenses actually paid to the Dealer-Manager shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount of the O & O Expense Allowance otherwise payable by the Partnership to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.4(e) of this Agreement. (e) O & O Expense Allowance. The Partnership shall pay, immediately following each Closing Date, the O & O Expense Allowance to the General Partner, whether or not the full amount thereof is actually incurred by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner, without deduction for Underwriting Fees and Sales Commissions. The General Partner shall distribute to the Dealer-Manager all or such portion 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 liability to the Dealer-Manager for any Organizational and Offering Expenses 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.

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 distribution.

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. Section DISSOLUTION AND WINDING-UP. 11.1 Events Causing Dissolution.

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 11.2(a)(iii) hereof.

Six ("LP Six"). Purchasers of the Units of limited partnership interest in ICON Income Fund Eight (the "Partnership") being offered by this Prospectus will not acquire any ownership interest in any of the Prior Public Programs and should not assume that they will experience investment results or returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in the Prior Public Programs. Additional information concerning the Prior Public Programs will be contained in Form 10-K Annual Reports for each such Program which may be obtained (after their respective filing dates) without charge by contacting ICON Capital Corp., 600 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York 10528-1632. Such Form 10-K Annual Reports will also be available upon request at the office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. The results of the Prior Public Programs should not be considered indicative of the likely results of the Partnership. Moreover, the information presented below should not be considered indicative of the extent to which the Prior Public Programs will achieve their objectives, because this will in large part depend upon facts which cannot now be determined or predicted. See "Other Offerings By the General Partner and Its Affiliates" in this Prospectus for a narrative discussion of the general investment objectives of the Prior Public Programs and a narrative discussion of the data concerning the Prior Public Programs contained in these Tables.

(2) 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. (3) 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. (4) 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 any 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.
