ICON Income Fund Nine, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)

December 31, 2001


PART I

Item 1. Business

General Development of Business

ICON Income Fund Nine, LLC ("Fund Nine"), was formed on July 11, 2001,
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of ICON Income Fund
Nine, LLC ("Operating Agreement") as a Delaware limited liability company with
an initial capitalization of $1,000 by ICON Capital Corp. (the "Manager") for
one member share. It was formed to acquire various types of equipment subject to
lease with third parties and to make related investments pursuant to the
Operating Agreement. Fund Nine's maximum offering is $100,000,000. Fund Nine
commenced business operations on December 18, 2001, with the admission of
members representing 1,249.91 additional members' shares at $1,000 per share,
aggregating $1,249,910 of capital contributions. As of December 31, 2001,
members representing 1,584.114 additional shares had been admitted into Fund
Nine with aggregate gross proceeds of $1,584,114, bringing the total admissions
to 2,834.024 shares aggregating $2,834,024 in capital contributions (exclusive
of the Manager's interest as a member).

The Manager is a Connecticut corporation. The Manager will manage and
control the business affairs of Fund Nine's equipment leases and investments
under a management agreement with the Fund Nine. As of December 31, 2001, Fund
Nine had not yet consummated any equipment leases or investments.

Segment Information

Fund Nine intends to have only one operating segment: the business of
acquiring equipment subject to leases with companies that Fund Nine believes to
be creditworthy and making related investments.

Narrative Description of Business

Fund Nine is an equipment leasing income fund. The principal objective of
Fund Nine is to obtain the maximum economic return from its investments for the
benefit of its members. To achieve this objective, Fund Nine intends to: (1)
acquire a diversified portfolio of low obsolescence equipment having long lives
and high residual values; (2) make monthly cash distributions to its members
commencing with each member's admission to Fund Nine, continuing through the
Reinvestment Period, which period will end no later than the eighth anniversary
after the final closing date; (3) re-invest substantially all undistributed cash
from operations and cash from sales of equipment and financing transactions
during the Reinvestment Period; and (4) sell Fund Nine investments and
distribute the cash from sales of such investments to its members after the end
of the Reinvestment Period.

The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. When seeking leasing
transactions for acquisition, Fund Nine competes with leasing companies,
manufacturers that lease their products directly, equipment brokers and dealers
and financial institutions, including commercial banks and insurance companies.
Many competitors are larger than Fund Nine and have greater financial resources.

Fund Nine has no direct employees. Except as expressly limited by the
Operating Agreement, the Manager has full and exclusive discretion in the
management and control of Fund Nine.

Item 7. General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

ICON Income Fund Nine, LLC ("Fund Nine") was formed on July 11, 2001 as a
Delaware limited liability company with an initial capitalization of $1,000 by
ICON Capital Corp. (the "Manager") for one member share. It was formed to
acquire various types of equipment, to lease such equipment to third parties
and, to a lesser degree, to enter into secured financing transactions. Fund
Nine's maximum offering is $100,000,000. Fund Nine commenced business operations
on December 18, 2001, with the admission of members representing 1,249.91
additional shares at $1,000 per share aggregating $1,249,910 of capital
contributions. As of December 31, 2001, members representing 1,584.114
additional shares had been admitted into Fund Nine aggregating capital
contributions of $1,584,114, bringing the total admission to 2,834.024 shares
aggregating $2,834,024 in capital contributions (exclusive of the Manager's
interest as a member).

Results of Operations for the Period Ended December 31, 2001

Fund Nine had its first initial admission of members in December 2001, but
did not make any investments or acquisitions (other than a deposit towards an
acquisition, which was consummated in February 2002).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Fund Nine had its first admission of additional members on December 18,
2001 and through December 31, 2001, had admitted additional members representing
2,834.024 shares totaling gross proceeds of $2,834,024, from which $382,593 was
used for sales and offering expenses, leaving a balance of $2,451,431, plus
$1,000 contributed by the Manager, available for investments in leasing
transactions. As of December 31, 2001, Fund Nine had placed $1,650,000 in escrow
with an unaffiliated third party, intended to be used to purchase a 21.29%
interest in a joint venture with an affiliate, ICON Income Fund Eight B L.P.
("Fund Eight B"), for the purpose of acquiring certain manufacturing and
materials handling equipment subject to lease. In January 2002, the joint
venture was capitalized with the escrowed funds from Fund Nine and Fund Eight B.
In February 2002, the transaction was consummated. At the consummation date,
Fund Nine acquired an additional 29.71% of the joint venture from Fund Eight B
for $2,302,525, utilizing available cash and additional offering proceeds
received in 2002, bringing its ownership percentage in the joint venture to 51%.
Fund Nine did not make any cash distributions to members in 2001. Fund Nine
began making cash distributions in January 2002. Distributions to members paid
in January and February 2002, prior to Fund Nine completing any investment or
purchasing leased equipment, constitutes a return of original capital
contribution to the members. For the period January 1, 2002 through February 28,
2002, Fund Nine admitted members representing an additional 9,359.879 shares
totaling $9,359,879.


As of December 31, 2001, 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, Fund Nine will continue to invest in transactions, while
retaining sufficient cash to meet its reserve requirements and recurring
obligations.

Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Fund Nine is exposed to certain market risks, including changes in interest
rates. As of December 31, 2001, Fund Nine did not have any liabilities that were
interest rate based. Fund Nine believes its exposure to other market risks are
insignificant to both its financial position and results of operations. In
February 2002, Fund Nine through its 51% joint venture, acquired certain
manufacturing and materials handling equipment for cash.

ICON Income Fund Nine, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001

1. Organization

ICON Income Fund Nine, LLC ("Fund Nine") was formed on July 11, 2001 as a
Delaware limited liability company with an initial capitalization of $1,000 by
ICON Capital Corp. (the "Manager") for one member share. It was formed to
acquire various types of equipment, to lease such equipment to third parties
and, to a lesser degree, to enter into secured financing transactions. Fund
Nine's maximum offering is $100,000,000. Fund Nine commenced business operations
on December 18, 2001, with the admission of members representing 1,249.91
additional shares at $1,000 per share, aggregating $1,249,910 of capital
contributions. As of December 31, 2001, members representing 1,584.114
additional shares had been admitted into Fund Nine totaling gross proceeds of
$1,584,114, bringing the total admissions to 2,834.024 shares, totaling
$2,834,024 in capital contributions at that date (exclusive of the Manager's
interest as a member). From January 1, 2002, through February 28, 2002, an
additional 9,359.879 shares were sold for gross proceeds of $9,359,879.

The Manager is a Connecticut corporation. The Manager manages and controls
the business affairs of Fund Nine's equipment, leases and financing transactions
under a management agreement with Fund Nine.

ICON Securities Corp., an affiliate of the Manager, receives or is entitled
to receive, a sales commission and underwriting fee from the gross proceeds from
sales of all shares. The Manager is entitled to receive organization and
offering expenses from the gross proceeds of such sales. The total underwriting
compensation paid by Fund Nine, including underwriting commissions, sales
commissions, incentive fees, public offering expense reimbursements and due
diligence activities is limited to 13.5% of gross proceeds up to the first
$25,000,000 raised, 12.5% of gross offering proceeds from $25,000,001 to
$50,000,000 and 11.5% of gross offering proceeds from $50,000,001 to
$100,000,000. At December 31, 2001, such offering expenses aggregated $382,593
paid or accrued to the Manager or its affiliates and were charged directly to
members' equity.

Profits, losses, cash distributions and disposition proceeds will be
allocated 99% to Members and 1% to the Manager until each Member has received
cash distributions and disposition proceeds sufficient to reduce its adjusted
capital contribution account to zero and receive, in addition, other
distributions and allocations which would provide an 8% per annum cumulative
return on its outstanding adjusted capital contribution account. After such
time, the distributions will be allocated 90% to the Members and 10% to the
Manager.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Presentation - Fund Nine's records are maintained
on the accrual basis. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Manager's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates and
assumptions utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and
prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition,
management is required to disclose contingent assets and contingent
liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001

3. Cash Held In Escrow

At December 31, 2001, the Fund Nine had deposited $1,650,000 with an
unaffiliated third party to be utilized to make a 21.29% investment in a joint
venture with an affiliated partnership, ICON Income Fund Eight B L.P. ("Eight
B"). The joint venture was capitalized in January 2002 and consummated a
purchase of leased equipment in February 2002. Additionally, at the time of
consummation, Fund Nine utilized available cash and a portion of additional
offering proceeds received in 2002 to acquire an additional 29.71% interest in
the joint venture from Eight B for a price of $2,302,525, (which represented
Eight B's cost) bringing its ownership percentage in the joint venture to 51%.

4. Related Party Transactions

Fees and expenses paid or accrued by Fund Nine to the Manager or its
affiliates for the period ended December 31, 2001 were as follows:

Organization and offering expenses $ 325,913 Charged to equity
Underwriting commissions 56,680 Charged to equity
-------------
$ 382,593

5. Commitment and Contingencies

Fund Nine has not applied for an advance ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service. However in the opinion of counsel, Fund Nine will be classified like a
Partnership and not as an association taxable for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes. In the absence of a ruling, there is no assurance that Fund Nine will
constitute an association taxable as a partnership.

6. Tax Information (Unaudited)

The following table reconciles the net loss for financial statement
reporting purposes to income for Federal income tax reporting purposes for the
period ended December 31, 2001:

2001

Net loss for financial statement reporting purposes $ (324)

Difference due to:
Other 324
-----------

Loss for Federal income tax reporting purposes $ -
===========

As of December 31, 2001, the total equity included in the financial
statements was $2,452,107 compared to the capital accounts for federal income
tax reporting purposes of $2,835,024 (unaudited). The difference arises
primarily from sales and offering expenses reported as a reduction in the
additional members' capital accounts for financial statement reporting purposes
but not for federal income tax reporting purposes as well as the temporary
difference described above.
