              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1998

1.     Basis of Presentation

       The consolidated  financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,
Series E (the  "Partnership")  have  been  prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and
regulations of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") and, in the
opinion  of  management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of normal
recurring  accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement of income for each period
shown.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules
and regulations.  Management  believes that the disclosures made are adequate to
make the  information  presented  not  misleading.  The  results for the interim
period are not  necessarily  indicative of the results for the full year.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.     Disposition Period

         The  Partnership's  Reinvestment  Period  ended on July 31,  1998.  The
Disposition  Period  commenced  on August 1, 1998 and is  expected  to  continue
through  February 1, 2001.  During the Disposition  Period the Partnership  will
distribute cash from operations and sales in excess of its reserve  requirements
and anticipated  obligations.  The  Partnership  will not reinvest in any leased
equipment during the Disposition Period.

3.     Redemption of Limited Partnership Units

       The  General  Partner  consented  to the  Partnership  redeeming  limited
partnership  units  during  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998.  The
redemption amount was calculated  following the specified  redemption formula as
per the Partnership  Agreement.  Redeemed units have no voting rights and do not
share in  distributions.  The Partnership  Agreement  limits the number of units
which can be redeemed in any one year and  redeemed  units may not be  reissued.
Redeemed  limited  partnership  units  are  accounted  for as a  reduction  from
partners equity.

4.    Related Party Transactions

      During the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership
paid or accrued to the General Partner management fees of $951,405 and $728,972,
respectively,   and  administrative   expense  reimbursements  of  $506,112  and
$380,549, respectively, which were charged to operations.

     For the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997 no acquisition  fees
were paid or accrued by the Partnership.

5.   Investment in Joint Ventures

     The  Partnership  Agreement  allows  the  Partnership  to  invest  in joint
ventures  with other  limited  partnerships  sponsored  by the  General  Partner
provided that the  investment  objectives of the joint  ventures are  consistent
with that of the Partnership.

ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.

     In  August  1997 the  Partnership,  L.P.  Six and L.P.  Seven  formed  ICON
Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"),  for the purpose of originating leases and
securitizing  its  portfolio.   The   Partnership,   L.P.  Six  and  L.P.  Seven
(collectively  the  "1997-B  members")  contributed  $2,250,000,   $249,900  and
$500,100  to 1997-B on August 19, 1997 and  received a 75.00%,  8.33% and 16.67%
interest, respectively, in 1997-B based on their contribution. On July 30, 1998,
ICON Holdings Corp.  ("Holdings"),  the parent of the General Partner and 1997-B
completed an equipment lease securitization.  The securitization is comprised of
two senior notes, issued from ICON Equipment Lease Trust 1998 S-1 (Holdings) and
ICON Equipment  Lease Trust 1998 S-2 (1997-B).  The net proceeds from the 1997-B
securitization  totaled  $40,806,901,  of which $30,850,936 was used to pay down
1997-B's   warehouse  line  of  credit,  and  the  remaining   proceeds,   after
establishing reserves for expenses, were distributed to the 1997-B Members based
on their respective  interests.  In connection with the  securitization,  1997-B
became  the  beneficial  owner  of  a  trust.  The  trustee  for  the  trust  is
Manufacturers  and  Traders  Trust  Company  ("M&T").  In  conjunction  with the
securitization,  the  portfolio  as  well  as the  General  Partner's  servicing
capabilities  were  rated by Duff &  Phelps  and  Fitch  IBCA,  both  nationally
recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for
managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-B remits
all monies received from the portfolio to M&T. M&T is responsible for disbursing
to the noteholders  their respective  principal and interest (91.5% of projected
cash flows) and to 1997-B the excess of cash  collected  over debt service (8.5%
of projected cash flows after any  write-offs)  from the  portfolio.  The 1997-B
Members  receive their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from
1997-B.  The  Partnership's  share of the net proceeds  from the  securitization
totaled $1,500,000.  The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include
100% of the assets and  liabilities of 1997-B,  while L.P. Six and L.P.  Seven's
minority  interests  have been  reflected  as a  liability  on the  consolidated
balance sheets.

                               September 30, 1998

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

      The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of a net  investment  in finance
leases,  financings,  operating leases,  and equity investment in joint ventures
representing  53%, 25%, 20%, and 2% of total  investments at September 30, 1998,
respectively,  and 47%,  39%, 12% and 2% of total  investments  at September 30,
1997, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

      For the three months ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership
leased  or  financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $17,247,909   and
$12,243,572,   respectively,   to  68  and  186  lessees  or  equipment   users,
respectively.

      Revenues for the three months ended  September  30, 1998 were  $2,801,641,
representing  an increase of $507,045 or 22% from 1998. The increase in revenues
was due to an increase in finance  income of $1,097,026 or 167%, and a change in
the income  (loss)  from equity  investment  in joint  ventures of $64,729.  The
increase  in  finance  income  and the  change  in  income  (loss)  from  equity
investment in joint  venture was  partially  offset by a decrease in net gain on
sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of  $477,563  or 64%, a decrease in rental
income of $133,444 or 18% and a decrease in interest income and other of $43,703
or 18%.  Finance income  increased due to an increase in the average size of the
portfolio from 1997 to 1998.  The loss from equity  investment in joint ventures
as of September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 was due primarily to a provision
for bad  debts  recorded  for  1997-A.  The  decrease  in net  gain on  sales or
remarketing of equipment was 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 average  carrying  value of the  equipment.  The
Partnership's  operating  lease with Alaska Air terminated in the second quarter
1997, at which point the aircraft was released to Aero Mexico. Rental income for
the  third  quarter  1997  includes  four  months of rent  under the new  lease,
resulting in a decrease in rental income from the third quarter 1998 compared to
1997.  Interest  income and other  decreased  from 1997 due to a decrease in the
average cash balance from 1997 to 1998.

      Expenses for the three months ended  September  30, 1998 were  $2,748,137,
representing  an  increase  of  $1,389,396  or 102% from 1997.  The  increase in
expenses  resulted  primarily from an increase in the provision for bad debts of
$1,049,998  or 100%,  an  increase  in  interest  expense of $556,415 or 77%, an
increase  in  depreciation  expense  of  $41,707  or  40%  and  an  increase  in
administrative  expense reimbursements to the General Partner of $16,611 or 13%.
These increases were partially offset by a change in minority  interest in joint
venture of  $166,994,  a decrease in  amortization  of initial  direct  costs of
$76,066 or 79%, a decrease in general and administrative  expenses of $29,975 or
78% and a  decrease  in  management  fees of $2,300 or 1%. The  increase  in the
provision  for  bad  debts  was  as  a  result  of  the  significant  growth  in
receivables,  an analysis of  delinquency,  an  assessment of overall risk and a
review of  historical  loss  experience.  The  increase in interest  expense was
primarily  due to the  increase in the average  debt  outstanding.  Depreciation
expense  increased due to the 1998  restructuring and releasing of the operating
lease. Administrative expense reimbursements increased due to an

                               September 30, 1998

increase in the average size of the portfolio  from 1997 to 1998.  The change in
minority  interest in joint  venture  was due  primarily  to 1997-B  recording a
significant  provision  for bad debts in 1998.  Amortization  of initial  direct
costs  decreased  from 1997 to 1998 due to a decrease in the portfolio of leases
which are subject to initial direct costs.

      Net income for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 was
$53,504 and $935,855,  respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.09 and $1.52 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

      For the nine months ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership
leased  or  financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $48,415,867   and
$29,316,817,   respectively,   to  137  and  54  lessees  or  equipment   users,
respectively.  The weighted  average initial  transaction term relating to these
transactions was 49 and 51 months, respectively.

      Revenues for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 were  $7,252,127,
representing  an  increase  of  $1,336,059  or 23% from 1997.  The  increase  in
revenues is  attributable to an increase in finance income of $1,421,121 or 52%,
an  increase in rental  income of $407,063 or 29% and a change in income  (loss)
from equity  investment  in joint  ventures of $350,334.  These  increases  were
partially  offset by a decrease in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
of $534,514  or 50% and a decrease  in interest  income and other of $307,945 or
40%.  Finance  income  increased  due to the increase in the average size of the
portfolio from 1997 to 1998. The  Partnership's  operating lease with Alaska Air
terminated in the second  quarter 1997, at which point the aircraft was released
to Aero  Mexico.  Rents under the new Aero Mexico  lease are greater  than rents
under the previous  Alaska Air lease.  The loss from equity  investment in joint
venture as of September  30, 1997 was due primarily to a provision for bad debts
recorded for 1997-A. The 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
average  carrying  value of the  equipment.  Interest  income  and other  income
decreased  as a result of a decrease in the average  cash  balance  from 1997 to
1998.

      Expenses for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 were  $6,793,375,
representing  an  increase  of  $2,676,688  or 65% from 1997.  The  increase  in
expenses  is  attributable  to an  increase  in the  provision  for bad  debt of
$1,249,998  or 100%,  an increase in interest  expense of  $1,215,397 or 64%, an
increase in  management  fees of $222,433 or 31%, an increase in  administrative
expense   reimbursements  of  $125,563  or  33%,  an  increase  in  general  and
administrative expense of $95,591 or 32% and an increase in depreciation expense
of  $40,617 or 11%.  These  increases  were  partially  offset by a decrease  in
amortization of initial direct costs of $203,049 or 48% and a change in minority
interest in joint venture of $57,423 or 428%.  The increase in the provision for
bad debts was as a result of the significant growth in receivables,  an analysis
of  delinquency,  an assessment of overall risk and a review of historical  loss
experience.  Interest  expense  increased  as a result  of the  increase  in the
average  outstanding  debt from 1997 to 1998.  Management  fees,  administrative
expense  reimbursements and general and  administrative  expenses increased as a
result of the increase in the average size of the portfolio from

1997 to 1998.  Depreciation  expense increased due to the 1998 restructuring and
releasing of the operating lease. Amortization of initial direct costs decreased
due to a decrease in the portfolio of leases which are subject to initial direct
costs from 1997 to 1998.  The change in minority  interest in joint ventures was
due primarily to 1997-B  recording a significant  provision for bad debts in the
third quarter 1998.

      Net income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 was
$458,752  and  $1,799,381,  respectively.  The net income per  weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $.75 and $2.92 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1998 and 1997 were net cash  provided by operations of $8,892,503
and  $22,792,332,  respectively,  proceeds from sales of equipment of $2,119,134
and  $14,802,451,  respectively  , proceeds from the warehouse line of credit of
$20,703,918 and $2,684,035,  respectively,  proceeds from securitization debt of
$41,308,464  in  1998  and  proceeds  from  the  revolving  credit  facility  of
$4,400,000  in 1997.  These  funds were used to  purchase  equipment,  fund cash
distributions  and make  payments  on  borrowings.  The  Partnership  intends to
continue to fund cash  distributions  utilizing  cash provided by operations and
proceeds from sales of equipment.

      Cash distributions to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $5,817,418 and $5,826,343,
respectively,  of which  $454,164  and  $1,781,387  was  investment  income  and
$5,363,254  and $4,044,956  was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly
annualized cash  distribution  rate to limited  partners was 12.75% for 1998 and
1997, of which 1.0% and 3.90% was  investment  income and 11.75% and 8.85% was a
return of capital,  respectively,  calculated as a percentage of each  partner's
initial  capital  contribution.  The limited partner  distribution  per weighted
average unit  outstanding  for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
was $9.56, of which $.34 and $2.92 was investment income and $8.81 and $6.64 was
a return of capital, respectively.

         The  Partnership's  Reinvestment  Period  ended on July 31,  1998.  The
Disposition Period began August 1, 1998, at which time the Partnership began the
orderly termination of its operations and affairs. During the Disposition Period
the  Partnership  has,  and  will  continue  to  distribute   substantially  all
distributable  cash from  operations and sales to the Partners.  The Partnership
has not, and will not reinvest in any leased  equipment  during the  Disposition
Period.  As a result of the Partnership's  entering into the Disposition  Phase,
future monthly  distributions  could, and are expected to fluctuate depending on
the amount of asset sale and re-lease proceeds received during that period.

      As of  September  30,  1998,  except as noted  above,  there were no known
trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which are likely to have
a material effect on liquidity. As cash is realized from operations and sales of
equipment, the Partnership will make cash distributions, where it deems it to be
prudent while  retaining  sufficient cash to meet its reserve  requirements  and
recurring obligations as they become due.
