                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1998


1.     The Partnership

       ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P. (the "Partnership"),  was formed on July 9,
1997 as a  Delaware  Limited  Partnership.  The  initial  capitalization  of the
Partnership was $2,000.  The Partnership  will continue until December 31, 2017,
unless terminated sooner. The Partnership  conducted no business operations from
its inception through September 30, 1998. The Partnership began offering limited
partnership  units on a "best efforts" basis to the general public on October 5,
1998 and as of October 13, 1998  subscriptions  had been  received,  and held in
escrow, for 12,000 units at $100 per unit, or $1,200,000.  The Partnership broke
escrow and commenced business  operations on October 13, 1998. As of October 31,
1998 the  Partnership  raised  $3,438,115  in  equity.  On October  30,1998  the
Partnership leased equipment with an initial cost of $931,031 to 1 lessee.  With
the funds raised, the Partnership  intends to acquire various types of equipment
and to lease such equipment to third parties and, to a lesser  degree,  to enter
into secured financing  transactions.  The General Partner of the Partnership is
ICON Capital Corp.  (the "General  Partner"),  a  Connecticut  corporation.  The
General  Partner  will  acquire  the  assets  and  manage  the  business  of the
Partnership.

2.     Capital Contribution

       The General Partner has made an initial  capital  contribution of $1,000,
and the original  limited  partner has made an initial  capital  contribution of
$1,000 to the Partnership.

3.     Commitment and Contingencies

       The  Partnership  has not applied for an advance ruling from the Internal
Revenue  Service;  however,  in the opinion of counsel the  Partnership  will be
classified as a Partnership and not as an association  taxable for U.S.  Federal
income tax purposes.  In the absence of a ruling, there cannot be assurance that
the Partnership will not constitute an association taxable as a corporation.
