      The  consolidated  financial  statements  of ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.

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.

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

     The  Partnership,  was  formed  on  July  9,  1997  as a  Delaware  limited
partnership.  The Partnership's maximum offering is $75,000,000. The Partnership
commenced  business  operations on its initial  closing date,  October 14, 1998,
with  the  admission  of  12,000  limited  partnership  units  at $100  per unit
representing  $1,200,000 of capital contributions.  Between October 15, 1998 and
December 31, 1998,  124,786.33 units were admitted  representing  $12,478,633 of
capital  contributions.  Between January 1, 1999 and March 31, 1999,  130,841.76
additional units were admitted representing  $13,084,176 of capital contribution
bringing the total admission to 267,628.09 units totaling $26,762,809 in capital
contributions.

     For the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 the  Partnership  leased or
financed additional equipment with an initial cost of $38,823,545.  The weighted
average initial  transaction term for such  acquisitions was 46 months. At March
31, 1999, the weighted average  remaining  transaction term of the portfolio was
51 months.

     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $928,693.  Expenses
for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1999 were  $922,826.  Net income for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 was  $5,867.  The net income per  weighted
average limited partnership unit outstanding was $.03.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March
31, 1999 were capital  contributions,  net of offering expenses, of $11,335,440,
net cash provided by operations  of  $1,346,112  and net proceeds  received from
non-recourse borrowings of $4,546,230. These funds along with borrowings assumed
on equipment  purchases of  $27,340,236  were used to purchase or finance leases
costing $38,823,545, 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
and additional borrowings.

     The Partnership  and an affiliate,  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.  At March 31, 1999 the  Partnership  and L.P. Seven had $0 and
$3,000,000, respectively, 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 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven ("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.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

     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.

     Cash distributions to limited partners for the three months ended March 31,
1999, which were paid monthly,  totaled $414,229.  The monthly distribution rate
was 10.75% (on an annualized  basis) of which $5,808 was  investment  income and
$408,421 was a return of capital.  The limited partner distribution per weighted
average unit outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $2.05, of
which  $.03  was   investment   income  and  $2.02  was  a  return  of  capital,
respectively.

     As of March 31, 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.
