3. Consolidated Ventures and Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Partnership and affiliates formed four ventures discussed below for the
purpose of acquiring and managing various assets.

Consolidated Venture

The venture described below is majority owned and is consolidated with the
Partnership:

ICON Boardman Funding L.L.C.

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 of a coal
handling facility with Portland General Electric, a utility company. The
purchase price totaled $27,421,810 and was funded with cash and non-recourse
debt. The Partnership, Series C, L.P.






ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-continued

Six, and L.P. Seven received a 98.5%, .5%, .5% and .5% interest,
respectively, in ICON BF. In September 2001, ICON BF acquired Series C's
interest in ICON BF, at a cost of $56,370, which represented Series C's basis in
the joint venture and was funded by the Partnership, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven in
accordance with their remaining interests in ICON BF. The revised ownership
interests are now 98.995%, .5025%, and .5025% for the Partnership, L.P. Six, and
L.P. Seven, respectively. The Partnership's financial statements include 100% of
the assets and liabilities and 100% of the revenues and expenses of ICON BF.
L.P. Six's and L.P. Seven's interests in ICON BF have been reflected as minority
interests in joint ventures on the consolidated balance sheets and minority
interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Portland General Electric ("PGE") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enron
Corporation ("Enron"), which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection. PGE has not filed for bankruptcy. While Enron owns all of PGE's
outstanding common stock, PGE has its own legal entity, owns its assets and is
responsible for its own day-to-day operations. PGE continues to make its lease
payments and is current through August 2002.

Investments In Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The three joint ventures described below are less than 50% owned and are
accounted for following the equity method.

AIC Trust

In 1999, ICON/AIC Trust ("AIC Trust") was formed to own and manage a
portfolio of leases in England. The Partnership, L.P. Six and L.P. Seven own
43.73%, 25.51% and 30.76% interests in AIC Trust, respectively. The Partnership
accounts for its investment under the equity method of accounting.

On December 28, 2001, AIC Trust sold its remaining leases, subject to the
related debt, at a loss, for a note receivable of (pound)2,575,000 ($3,744,822
based upon the exchange rate at December 31, 2001) which is payable in six
installments through June 2004. The first two installments on the note were
collected in January and June 2002, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, the gross
amount due is (pound)1,625,000 ($2,407,821 on a discounted basis based upon the
exchange rate at June 30, 2002).

ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

June 30, 2002

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

ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed on July 9,
1997 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership's maximum offering was
$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 May 17, 2000, the date of the Partnership's final closing,
737,965.04 additional units were admitted representing $73,796,504 of capital
contributions bringing the total admission to 749,965.04 units totaling
$74,996,504 in capital contributions. In 2000 and 2001, a total of 4,101.15
units were redeemed. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, $1,138.62 units
were redeemed. Total units outstanding at both June 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001 were 744,725.27 and 745,836.89 respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

Revenue decreased by $1,493,566 from $4,612,803 in the quarter ended June
30, 2001 to $3,119,237 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The decline in
revenue resulted primarily from a gain on the sale of an investment in an
unguaranteed residual of $1,219,910 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Finance
income decreased by $756,355 from $1,914,937 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001
to $1,158,582 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in finance income
resulted from a reduction in the size of the Partnership's portfolio of leases,
as well as a restructuring of two aircraft finance leases in October 2001 which
caused the leases to be re-classified as operating leases. The decline in the
above stated categories of revenue were offset partially by an increase in
rental income of $372,589 from $1,407,720 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to
$1,780,309 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The increase in rental income
resulted primarily from the restructuring of the aircraft leases mentioned
above. In addition, gain on sale of equipment of $78,834 was realized by the
Partnership in 2002, and income from investment in joint ventures increased by
$41,739.

Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $2,863,528 as
compared to $3,165,748 in the 2001 quarter, representing a decrease of $302,220.
The reduction in expense resulted primarily from a decrease in management
fees-general partner of $333,528 from $461,895 in the quarter ended June 30,
2001 to $128,367 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This decrease resulted from
the reduction of the Partnership's portfolio of leases, upon which such fees are
dependable. Interest expense decreased by $178,410 from $1,475,548 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $1,297,138 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as
a result of a decline in the average non-recourse indebtedness by way of
application of lease payments in accordance with the repayment schedules. In
addition, administrative expense reimbursements - general partner decreased by
$127,406 from $185,886 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $58,480 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2002. The decrease resulted from the reduction of the
Partnership's portfolio of leases upon which such expenses are dependable.
Amortization of initial direct cost decreased by $79,551 from $171,584 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $92,033 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This
decrease resulted from the continued reduction of the amortization

balance of initial direct costs and the method (interest method) used to
calculate amortization of initial direct costs on finance leases.

An increase in depreciation expense of $308,329 from $712,131 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $1,020,460 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002
resulted from the additional aircraft operating leases discussed above. In
addition, general and administrative expenses increased by $110,958 from
$152,870 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $263,828 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2002.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $255,709 and
$1,447,055, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $0.34 and $1.92 for the quarter 2002 and 2001 respectively.

Results of Operations for the 2002 Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership did not
lease or finance any additional equipment.

Revenue decreased by $1,312,328 from $7,505,671 in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 to $6,193,343 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decline
in revenue resulted primarily from a gain on the sale of an investment in a
unguaranteed residual of $1,219,910 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Finance income decreased by $1,532,167 from $3,929,188 in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 to $2,397,021 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease
in finance income resulted from a reduction in the size of the Partnership's
portfolio of leases, as well as a restructuring of two aircraft finance leases
in October 2001 which caused the leases to be re-classified as operating leases.
The decline in the above stated categories of revenue were offset partially by
an increase in rental income of $1,374,515 from $2,186,102 in the six months
ended June 30, 2001 to $3,560,617 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The
increase in rental income resulted from the restructuring of the two aircraft
leases mentioned above along with the re-leasing of an off lease aircraft to a
replacement lessee in April 2001. Such aircraft had been off lease in 2001 until
it was re-leased. In addition, gain on sale of equipment of $78,834 was realized
by the Partnership, and income from investment in joint ventures increased by
$6,776.

Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $6,355,642 as
compared to $6,057,076 in the 2001 quarter, representing an increase of
$298,566. The increase in expense resulted primarily from an increase in
depreciation expense of $1,011,907 from $1,029,012 in the six months ended June
30, 2001 to $2,040,919 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase
resulted from the additional aircraft operating leases discussed above, along
with the re-leasing of an aircraft for which no depreciation expense was taken
during the off-lease period in 2001. General and administrative expenses
increased by $135,542 from $309,657 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to
$445,199 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. These increases in depreciation
and general and administrative expenses were partially off-set by decreases in
interest expense of $326,139, management fees - general partner of $234,195,
amortization of initial direct cost of $221,557, and administrative expense
reimbursements - general partner of $63,057.

June 30, 2002

Decreases in the interest expense, management fees general partner and
administrative expense reimbursement general partner resulted from a reduction
in the size of the Partnership's portfolio of leases. The decrease in the
amortization of initial direct cost resulted from the continued reduction of the
amortization balance of initial direct costs and the method (interest method)
used to calculate amortization of initial direct costs on finance leases.

Net (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was
$(162,299) and $1,448,595 respectively. The net (loss) income per weighted
average limited partnership unit was $(0.22) and $1.92 for the six months 2002
and 2001 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In early 2002, the Partnership extended and amended its existing line of
credit arrangement with an unaffiliated third party lender. Under the terms of
the amendment, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2002, but no
additional borrowings were permitted. During the second quarter of 2002, the
loan was fully paid with proceeds from a newly established line of credit with
Comerica Bank, from which it borrowed $2,405,871. Under the new line, which was
jointly entered into with Fund Eight B and L.P. Seven and has a joint limit of
$17,500,000, the Partnership may borrow at a rate equal to the Comerica Bank
base rate plus 1% (5.75% at June 30, 2002) with borrowings collateralized by the
present value of rents receivable and residuals. The line expires May 31, 2003.

Besides proceeds from the new line of credit, the Partnership's primary
source of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was cash provided by
investing activities of $1,082,322. Cash used in operating activities was
$422,646 and the Partnership repaid $1,819,912 of its recourse notes payable-old
line of credit during 2002 with proceeds from the newly established line of
credit with Comerica Bank. Because the Partnership paid distributions to
partners totaling $4,046,976, its liquidity was reduced.

Cash distributions to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, which were paid monthly, totaled $4,006,505 and $4,013,132
respectively.

As of June 30, 2002, 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 and additional 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.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Partnership is exposed to certain market risks, including changes in
interest rates. The Partnership believes its exposure to other market risks are
insignificant to both its financial position and results of operations.

The Partnership manages its interest rate risk by obtaining fixed rate
debt. The fixed rate debt service obligation streams are generally matched by
fixed rate lease receivable streams generated by the Partnership's lease
investments.






ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P.

The Partnership borrows funds under a floating rate line of credit and is
therefore exposed to interest rate risk until the floating rate line of credit
is repaid. The Partnership's borrowings under the floating rate line of credit
as of June 30, 2002 was $2,405,871. The Partnership believes the risk associated
with rising interest rates under this line is not significant.

The Partnership manages its exposure to equipment and residual risk by
monitoring the market and maximizing re-marketing proceeds received through
re-lease or sale of equipment.

The Partnership has an investment of approximately $22.3 million in
equipment on lease to Portland General Electric (PGE), a utility company, which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enron Corporation ("Enron"). In the fourth
quarter of 2001, Enron Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
PGE has not filed for bankruptcy. PGE is current on its lease payments at the
date of this report. Management is continually monitoring the Enron proceedings
to the extent that it could, in the future, impact the Partnership's investment.
