1.    Basis of Presentation

      The  consolidated  financial  statements  of ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.
(the  "Partnership") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC")  and, in the opinion of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement  of income  for each  period  shown.
Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in consolidated
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC  rules and
regulations.  Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make

are  not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  for  the  full  year.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The  Partnership  commenced  business  operations on
October  14,  1998 and as a  result  a  comparative  consolidated  statement  of

and  .5%  interest,  respectively,  in  ICON  BF.  The  Partnership's  financial
statements include 100% of the assets and liabilities of ICON BF. Series C, L.P.
Six and L.P.  Seven's  investments  in ICON BF have been  reflected as "minority
interests in joint venture." Simultaneously with the acquisition of the Portland
General Electric lease by ICON BF, a portion of the rent receivable in excess of
the senior debt  payments was acquired by L.P. Six from ICON BF for  $3,801,108.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

costing $42,345,369, to make payments on borrowings and fund cash distributions.
The  Partnership  intends  to  continue  to  purchase  equipment  and fund  cash
distributions utilizing funds from capital contributions,  cash from operations,
additional borrowings and, when available, cash from equipment sales.

      Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,
1999,  which  were  paid  monthly,  totaled  $1,181,401  of which  $374,291  was
investment income and $807,110 was a return of capital.  The monthly  annualized
cash  distribution  rate to  limited  partners  was  10.75%  of which  3.41% was
investment  income  and 7.34%  was a return  of  capital.  The  limited  partner
distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the six months ended June
30, 1999 was $4.48, of which $1.42 was investment  income and $3.06 was a return
of capital, respectively.

      The  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow  Partners L. P. Seven
("L.P.  Seven") entered into a joint line of credit  agreement (the  "Facility")
with a lender in December 1998. The maximum amount  available under the Facility
is $5,000,000. The Facility is secured by eligible receivables and residuals and
bears  interest at the rate of Prime plus one half percent.  On May 28, 1999 the
Facility was amended and restated removing the Partnership as co-borrower on the
Facility.  The  Partnership  entered  into a new line of credit  agreement  (the
"facility")  with a lender on May 28, 1999. The maximum amount  available  under
the facility is $5,000,000. The maximum amount available under the facility will
be  extended  to  $15,000,000  as the  Partnership's  eligible  receivables  and
residuals  increase.  The  facility  is  secured  by  eligible  receivables  and
residuals and bears interest at the rate of prime plus one half percent. At June
30, 1999 the Partnership had $600,000 outstanding under the facility.

      In December  1998 the  Partnership  and three  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series C ("Series C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P.
Six") and L.P. Seven formed ICON Boardman  Funding  L.L.C.  ("ICON BF"), for the
purpose of acquiring a lease with Portland General Electric.  The purchase price
totaled  $27,421,810,  and was funded with cash and non-recourse debt assumed in
the purchase price. The Partnership,  Series C, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven received
a 98.5%, .5%, .5% and .5% interest,  respectively, in ICON BF. The Partnership's
financial  statements  include  100% of the assets and  liabilities  of ICON BF.
Series C, L.P. Six and L.P.  Seven's  investments in ICON BF have been reflected
as "minority interests in joint venture." Simultaneously with the acquisition of
the Portland General Electric lease by ICON BF, a portion of the rent receivable
in excess of the senior debt  payments was acquired by L.P. Six from ICON BF for
$3,801,108. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.

      On March 30, 1999, ICON BF acquired L.P. Six's  investment in a portion of
the rent in excess of the senior debt payments for $3,097,637 and financed, with
a third party, all of the rent receivable in excess of the senior debt payments.
There  was no gain or loss to L.P.  Six on this  transaction.  ICON BF  received
$7,643,867  from the  financing.  The proceeds  from the  financing,  net of the
purchase of L.P. Six's investment, were distributed to the members of ICON BF in
accordance with their ownership interests.

      As of June 30, 1999 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 the  continued  offering,  operations,  or
borrowings,  the  Partnership  will  continue to 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.

Year 2000 Issue

      The Year 2000 issue arose  because many  existing  computer  programs have
been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As
a result,  programs could interpret dates ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year  2000.  In  certain  cases,  such  errors  could  result in system
failures  or  miscalculations   that  disrupt  the  operation  of  the  affected
businesses.

      The Partnership uses computer  information systems provided by the General
Partner and has no computer information systems of its own. The software related
to the General  Partner's primary computer  information  systems are provided by
third party vendors.  The General Partner has formally  communicated  with these
vendors and has received  assurance that their programs are Year 2000 compliant.
In addition,  the General Partner has gathered  information  about the Year 2000
readiness of  significant  vendors and  third-party  servicers  and continues to
monitor  developments  in this area.  All of the  General  Partner's  peripheral
computer  technologies,  such as its  network  operating  system and third party
software  applications,  including  payroll  and  electronic  banking  have been
evaluated and have been found to be Year 2000 compliant.  The ultimate impact of
the Year 2000  issue on the  Partnership  will  depend to a great  extent on the
manner in which the issue is addressed by the Partnership's lessees. Each of the
Partnership's  lessees will have a material  self interest in resolving any Year
2000 issue, however, non-compliance on the part of a lessee could result in lost
or  delayed  revenues  to the  Partnership.  The  effect  of  this  risk  to the
Partnership is not determinable.

      The General  Partner is  responsible  for costs relating to the assessment
and  development of its Year 2000  compliance  remediation  plan, as well as the
testing  of the  hardware  and  software  owned  or  licensed  for its  personal
computers.  The General  Partner's  costs  incurred to date and expected  future
costs are not material.

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The  consolidated  financial  statements  of ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.
(the  "Partnership") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC")  and, in the opinion of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement  of income  for each  period  shown.
Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in consolidated
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC  rules and

consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

costing $42,345,369, to make payments on borrowings and fund cash distributions.
The  Partnership  intends  to  continue  to  purchase  equipment  and fund  cash
distributions utilizing funds from capital contributions,  cash from operations,
additional borrowings and, when available, cash from equipment sales.

      Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,

distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the six months ended June

      The  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow  Partners L. P. Seven
("L.P.  Seven") entered into a joint line of credit  agreement (the  "Facility")
with a lender in December 1998. The maximum amount  available under the Facility
is $5,000,000. The Facility is secured by eligible receivables and residuals and
bears  interest at the rate of Prime plus one half percent.  On May 28, 1999 the
Facility was amended and restated removing the Partnership as co-borrower on the
Facility.  The  Partnership  entered  into a new line of credit  agreement  (the
"facility")  with a lender on May 28, 1999. The maximum amount  available  under
the facility is $5,000,000. The maximum amount available under the facility will
be  extended  to  $15,000,000  as the  Partnership's  eligible  receivables  and
residuals  increase.  The  facility  is  secured  by  eligible  receivables  and
residuals and bears interest at the rate of prime plus one half percent. At June
30, 1999 the Partnership had $600,000 outstanding under the facility.

      In December  1998 the  Partnership  and three  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series C ("Series C"), ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six ("L.P.
Six") and L.P. Seven formed ICON Boardman  Funding  L.L.C.  ("ICON BF"), for the
purpose of acquiring a lease with Portland General Electric.  The purchase price
totaled  $27,421,810,  and was funded with cash and non-recourse debt assumed in
the purchase price. The Partnership,  Series C, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven received
a 98.5%, .5%, .5% and .5% interest,  respectively, in ICON BF. The Partnership's
financial  statements  include  100% of the assets and  liabilities  of ICON BF.
Series C, L.P. Six and L.P.  Seven's  investments in ICON BF have been reflected
as "minority interests in joint venture." Simultaneously with the acquisition of
the Portland General Electric lease by ICON BF, a portion of the rent receivable
in excess of the senior debt  payments was acquired by L.P. Six from ICON BF for
$3,801,108. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.

      On March 30, 1999, ICON BF acquired L.P. Six's  investment in a portion of
the rent in excess of the senior debt payments for $3,097,637 and financed, with
a third party, all of the rent receivable in excess of the senior debt payments.
There  was no gain or loss to L.P.  Six on this  transaction.  ICON BF  received
$7,643,867  from the  financing.  The proceeds  from the  financing,  net of the
purchase of L.P. Six's investment, were distributed to the members of ICON BF in
accordance with their ownership interests.

      As of June 30, 1999 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 the  continued  offering,  operations,  or
borrowings,  the  Partnership  will  continue to 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.

Year 2000 Issue

      The Year 2000 issue arose  because many  existing  computer  programs have
been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As
a result,  programs could interpret dates ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year  2000.  In  certain  cases,  such  errors  could  result in system
failures  or  miscalculations   that  disrupt  the  operation  of  the  affected
businesses.

      The Partnership uses computer  information systems provided by the General
Partner and has no computer information systems of its own. The software related
to the General  Partner's primary computer  information  systems are provided by
third party vendors.  The General Partner has formally  communicated  with these
vendors and has received  assurance that their programs are Year 2000 compliant.
In addition,  the General Partner has gathered  information  about the Year 2000
readiness of  significant  vendors and  third-party  servicers  and continues to
monitor  developments  in this area.  All of the  General  Partner's  peripheral
computer  technologies,  such as its  network  operating  system and third party
software  applications,  including  payroll  and  electronic  banking  have been
evaluated and have been found to be Year 2000 compliant.  The ultimate impact of
the Year 2000  issue on the  Partnership  will  depend to a great  extent on the
manner in which the issue is addressed by the Partnership's lessees. Each of the
Partnership's  lessees will have a material  self interest in resolving any Year
2000 issue, however, non-compliance on the part of a lessee could result in lost
or  delayed  revenues  to the  Partnership.  The  effect  of  this  risk  to the
Partnership is not determinable.

      The General  Partner is  responsible  for costs relating to the assessment
and  development of its Year 2000  compliance  remediation  plan, as well as the
testing  of the  hardware  and  software  owned  or  licensed  for its  personal
computers.  The General  Partner's  costs  incurred to date and expected  future
costs are not material.
