Six Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Partnership's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its interests in minority owned joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. In such cases, the Partnership's original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for its share of earnings, losses and distributions. In joint ventures where the Partnership's ownership interest is majority owned, minority interest represents the minority venturer's proportionate share of their equity in the joint venture. The minority interest is adjusted for the minority venturer's share of the earnings or loss of the joint venture. Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 in order to conform to the current period presentation. (2) Organization The Partnership was formed on July 8, 1993 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership is engaged in one business segment, the business of acquiring equipment subject to leases. The Partnership is currently in the process of selling its remaining assets in the ordinary course of its business, a time frame called the disposition period. The Partnership's reinvestment period ended November 11, 2000 and the Partnership commenced its disposition period. During the disposition period, the Partnership is distributing substantially all distributable cash from operations and equipment sales to the partners and will continue the orderly termination of its operations and affairs. The Partnership will not invest in any additional finance or lease transactions during the disposition period. The General Partner of the Partnership is ICON Capital Corp. (the "General Partner"), a Connecticut corporation. The General Partner manages and controls the business affairs of the Partnership's equipment leases and financing transactions under the terms of a management agreement with the Partnership. Additionally, the General Partner has a 1% ownership interest in the Partnership. Profits, losses, cash distributions and disposition proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner until each limited partner 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 a 10% per annum cumulative return on their outstanding adjusted capital contribution account. After such time, the distributions will be allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner. 8 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 (Unaudited) (3) Joint Ventures The Partnership and its affiliates, entities managed and controlled by the General Partner, formed six joint ventures, discussed below, for the purpose of acquiring and managing various assets. The Partnership and these affiliates have substantially identical investment objectives and participate on the same terms and conditions. The Partnership and the other affiliated members of the joint ventures have a right of first refusal to purchase the equipment, on a pro-rata basis, if any of the other members desire to sell their interests in the equipment or joint venture. The joint venture described below is majority owned and is consolidated with the Partnership. ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. II The Partnership and an affiliate, ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series E ("Series E"), formed ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. II ("LLC II") for the purpose of acquiring and managing a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 Aircraft (the "LLC II Aircraft"). The Partnership and Series E acquired interests of 99% and 1%, respectively, in LLC II. LLC II acquired the LLC II Aircraft by assuming certain non-recourse debt and utilizing cash received from the Partnership and Series E. The LLC II Aircraft was leased to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Aeromexico") for $75,000 per month. This lease expired during January 2005. The non-recourse debt was due at the time the lease expired, with a required balloon payment of approximately $9,300,000 which was not paid. The lessee continues to operate the LLC II Aircraft and is making monthly rental payments in accordance with the terms of the expired lease. The General Partner is having discussions with the lender to transfer title of the LLC II Aircraft to the lender for the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. The outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt secured by the LLC II Aircraft was $9,396,534 at March 31, 2005. The five joint ventures described below are minority owned by the Partnership and are accounted for under the equity method. ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. The Partnership and an affiliate, Series E, formed a joint venture, ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. ("ICON LLC") for the purpose of acquiring and managing a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 Aircraft (the "LLC Aircraft"). The Partnership and Series E acquired interests of 1% and 99%, respectively, in ICON LLC. The LLC Aircraft was leased to Aeromexico for $75,000 per month. This lease expired during January 2005. The lessee continued to operate the LLC Aircraft and was making monthly rental payments in accordance with the terms of the expired lease. On June 14, 2005, ICON LLC sold the LLC Aircraft to FINOVA Capital Corporation (FINOVA) in exchange for the outstanding balance of non-recourse debt owed to FINOVA. The gain on this sale was approximately $180,000 of which the Partnership's portion is approximately $1,800. 9 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P.

In addition, the General Partner was reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred in connection with the Partnership's operations. Effective July 1, 2004, the General Partner voluntarily decided to waive its right to future management fees and administrative expense reimbursements. 11 ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2005 (Unaudited) (4) Related Party Transactions - continued Fees and other expenses paid or accrued by the Partnership to the General Partner or its affiliates were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------- Management fees $ - $ 22,260 Administrative expense reimbursements - 8,938 ------------- ------------- Total $ - $ 31,198 ============= ============= (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements On June 1, 2005 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" ("APB 20") and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 12 Item 2. General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following is a discussion of our results of operations and current financial position. This discussion should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to "we," "us," "our" or similar terms include ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six and its consolidated subsidiary. Forward-Looking Information - Certain statements within this Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expects," "intend," "predict" or "project" and similar expressions. This information may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and our future results of operations could differ materially from historical results or current expectations. Some of these risks are discussed in this report, and include, without limitation, fluctuations in oil and gas prices; level of fleet additions by competitors and industry overcapacity; changing customer demands for aircraft; acts of terrorism; unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest and governmental actions, and environmental and labor laws. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including, without limitation: o changes in our industry, interest rates or the general economy; o the degree and nature of our competition; o availability of qualified personnel; o cash flows from operating activities may be less than our current level of expenses and debt obligations; o the financial condition of lessees; and o lessee defaults. Business Overview We are an equipment leasing business formed on July 8, 1993, which began active operations on November 12, 1993. We primarily engage in the business of acquiring equipment subject to lease and, to a lesser degree, acquiring ownership rights to items of leased equipment at lease expiration. Some of our equipment leases were acquired for cash and provided current cash flow, which we refer to as "income" leases. The majority of the purchase price of our other equipment leases was financed, so these leases generated little or no current cash flow because substantially all of the rental payments received from a lessee were paid to a lender. For these "growth" leases, we anticipate that the future value of the leased equipment will exceed the cash portion of the purchase price paid for the equipment. We invested most of the net proceeds from our offering in items of equipment subject to a lease. After the net offering proceeds were invested, additional investments were made with the cash generated from our initial investments to the extent that cash was not needed for expenses, reserves and distributions to investors. The investment in additional equipment in this manner is called "reinvestment." After the "reinvestment period," we began selling our assets in the ordinary course of business during a time frame called the "disposition period." If we believe it would benefit investors to reinvest our cash flow in equipment during the disposition period, we may do so, but the General Partner will not incur any additional fees in connection with such reinvestments. Since November 11, 2000, we have been in our disposition period, wherein we are seeking to sell our assets in the ordinary course of business. 13 Substantially all of our recurring operating cash flows are generated from the operations of our single-investor lease in our portfolio. On a monthly basis, we deduct the expenses related to the recurring operations of the portfolio from such revenues and assess the amount of the remaining cash flows that will be required to fund known re-leasing costs and equipment management costs. Any residual operating cash flows are considered available for distribution to the partners. Our current portfolio, which we own directly or through joint venture investments with affiliates, consists primarily of the following: Air Transportation Industry We have a 99% interest in one McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft subject to a lease with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Aeromexico"). The base term of the lease with Aeromexico expired in January 2005, but is currently continuing on a month-to-month basis in accordance with the terms of the lease. Our contribution to the original purchase price was approximately $3,055,000 in cash and the assumption of approximately $15,824,000 of non-recourse debt. We are currently negotiating to transfer title of the aircraft to the lender in satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. Chemical Industry We have a 25% interest in a sodium chlorate production facility subject to lease with EKA Chemicals, Inc. We expect to receive two more semi-annual rental payments during July 2005 and January 2006 for a total of $372,500. The lease will expire on July 2006, at which time title in the equipment will pass to EKA Chemicals, Inc. for a one dollar buy out. Our contribution to the purchase price was approximately $1,403,000 in cash and the assumption of approximately $526,000 of non-recourse debt. 2005 Portfolio Activity McDonnell Douglas MD-83 Aircraft The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft leased to Aeromexico expired during January 2005. At that time the non recourse debt was due with a final balloon payment of approximately $9,300,000. We did not make the final balloon payment as scheduled and the debt continues to accrue interest at a rate of 11.83% per year. The lender has a security interest in the aircraft and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease. Rental payments continue to be made and are being paid by the lessee directly to the lender. We are currently negotiating to transfer title of the aircraft to the lender in satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. Portland General Electric ICON/Boardman Facility LLC, a joint venture that we had a .5025% interest in, entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the lessee to sell the coal handling facility effective May 27, 2005. The sale price was approximately $21,250,000. We anticipate that our portion of the gain will be approximately $10,000. 14 Economic and Industry Factors Our results of operations continue to be impacted by a number of factors influencing the United States of America's economy as well as the equipment leasing industry, some of which are discussed below. United States Economy The economy of the United States of America appears to be recovering, and the leasing industry's outlook for the foreseeable future is encouraging. We foresee an increase in capital spending by corporations through 2007 which should increase the pool of available leases, and to that end, we believe there will be more opportunities in this market. Nonetheless, a key obstacle still facing the leasing industry is the continued low interest rate environment, which reduces leasing volume inasmuch as customers are more prone to purchase than lease. Other factors which may negatively affect the leasing industry are the proposed legal and regulatory changes that may affect tax benefits of leasing and the continued misperception by potential lessees, stemming from Enron, WorldCom and others, that leasing should not play a central role as a financing alternative. However, as economic growth continues and interest rates inevitably begin to rise over time, we are optimistic that more lessees will return to the marketplace. Air Transportation Industry The aircraft leasing industry has been on the downside of a business cycle and continues to remain there. This has resulted in depressed sales prices for assets such as our aircraft interests. It does not appear that the industry will recover significantly in the very near future with the recent increases in the price of gasoline and the fare wars within the air transportation industry. We are optimistic that a recovery will occur within two to three years. However, a further weakening of the industry could cause the proceeds realized from the future sale of our aircraft to be even less than suggested by recent appraisals. Chemical Manufacturing Industry EKA Chemicals, Inc. is the world's largest producer of sodium chlorate, which is an integral part of the bleaching process for wood pulp. EKA has nine manufacturing plants throughout the United States of America as well as plants in Brazil, Canada, Chile, Finland, France, Norway and Sweden. In general, the industries that use wood pulp, paper, paperboard and pulp products are expecting the first half of 2005 to be positive and demand for these products to remain strong throughout 2005. Critical Accounting Policies An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require the General Partner to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical to our business: o Lease classification and revenue recognition o Asset impairments o Depreciation 15 Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition The equipment we lease to third parties is classified either as a finance lease, a leveraged lease, or an operating lease, which is determined based upon the terms of each lease. Initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease for both a finance lease and a leveraged lease. For an operating lease, the initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated. For finance leases, we record, at lease inception, the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at lease termination, the initial direct costs related to the lease and the related unearned income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income ratably over the term of the lease. For leveraged leases, we record, at lease inception, our net investment in the equipment which consists of the minimum lease payments receivable, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at lease termination and the initial direct costs related to the lease, net of the unearned income and principal and interest on the related non-recourse debt. Unearned income is recognized as income over the life of the lease at a constant rate of return on the positive net investment. For operating leases, income is recorded as rental income and is recognized on the straight line method over the lease term. Our General Partner has an Investment Committee that approves each new equipment acquisition. As part of the Committee's process, it determines the residual value to be used once the acquisition has been approved. The factors considered in determining the residual value include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment being considered, how the equipment is integrated into the potential lessees business, the length of the lease and industry in which the potential lessee operates. Residual values are reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with our policy to review all significant assets in our portfolio. Asset Impairments The significant assets in our portfolio are periodically reviewed, at least annually, by management, to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Management uses qualified third party appraisers to assist in the review process. An impairment loss will be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. In such circumstances, we will estimate the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future cash outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. An impairment loss will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The events or changes in circumstances which generally indicate that an asset may be impaired are (i) the estimated fair value of the underlying equipment is less than our carrying value or (ii) the lessee is experiencing financial difficulties and it does not appear likely that the estimated proceeds from the disposition of the asset will be sufficient to satisfy the remaining obligation to the lender and our residual position in the asset. Generally, in the latter situation, the residual position relates to equipment subject to third party notes payable where the lessee remits their rental payments directly to the lender and we do not recover our residual position until the note payable is repaid in full. Depreciation We record depreciation expense on equipment classified as an operating lease. In order to calculate depreciation, we first determine the depreciable equipment cost, which is the cost less estimated residual value. The estimated residual value is our estimate of the value of the equipment at lease termination. The estimated residual value is reviewed annually, by management, to determine whether an impairment charge may be required. Management uses qualified third party appraisers to assist in the review process. Depreciation expense is recorded ratably over the term of the related lease. 16 New Accounting Pronouncements On June 1, 2005 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" ("APB 20") and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 (the "2005 Quarter") and 2004 (the "2004 Quarter") Since November 11, 2000, we have been in our disposition period and are in the process of selling our assets in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2005, we have few remaining assets. As such, rental income and finance income will decrease over time as will expenses related to our assets, such as depreciation. Additionally, interest expense should decrease as we reach the expiration of leases that were financed and we fully repay the debt. Since we are in the process of selling our remaining assets, we will be recording gains and losses on the sales of equipment. Revenue for the 2005 Quarter and the 2004 Quarter are summarized as follows:

Revenues for the 2005 Quarter decreased by $20,946, or 8.3%, as compared to the 2004 Quarter. As discussed above, we are in our disposition period and decreases in both rental income and finance income are to be expected. The decrease in income from investments in joint ventures was due primarily to the dissolution of our investment in 1997-B. 17 Expenses for the 2005 Quarter and the 2004 Quarter are summarized as follows:

Expenses for the 2005 Quarter decreased by $477,826, or 60.5%, over the 2004 Quarter. As discussed above, the decrease in expenses is attributable to our being in our disposition period and having few remaining assets. The decrease in depreciation was due to management's decision to discontinue depreciation on the Aeromexico aircraft at July 1, 2004 due to the value of the aircraft approximating its fair value at that time. Net Loss As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss in the 2005 Quarter and the 2004 Quarter was $81,225 and $538,105, respectively. The net loss per weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding was $.21 and $1.41 for the 2005 Quarter and the 2004 Quarter, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources of Cash We believe that with the cash we have currently available and from cash being generated from our lease, and distributions from our joint ventures, we have sufficient cash to continue our operations through our liquidation period, which we believe should end in another six to twelve months. We satisfied our payable to affiliates with rental payments and expect to satisfy other obligations and pay other expenses with future rental payments and sales proceeds. Our primary source of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was net cash provided by operating activities of $12,641 and $85,321, respectively, and distributions received from joint ventures of $2,500 and $220,557, respectively. Financings and Recourse Borrowings At March 31, 2005, we are a party to non-recourse debt that expired during January 2005 with a required balloon payment of approximately $9,300,000, which was not paid. The lender has a security interest in the aircraft and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease. Payments are currently being made by the lessee directly to the lender on the non-recourse debt that was due January 2005. We are currently negotiating to transfer title of the aircraft to the lender for the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. We have not made any recourse borrowings, and we do not plan to rely on financing to meet our current cash needs. 18 Distributions Our reinvestment period ended on November 11, 2000, and the disposition period commenced. During the disposition period, we will distribute substantially all distributable cash from operations and equipment sales to the partners and will continue the orderly termination of our operations and affairs. We have not and will not invest in any additional finance or lease transactions during the disposition period. As a result of our entering into the disposition period, future distributions are expected to fluctuate depending on the amount of asset sale and re-lease proceeds generated during the period. We do not, in the normal course of business, pay dividends. We paid monthly distributions to our partners beginning with their admission to the Partnership through the termination of the reinvestment period, which was November 11, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we did not make any distributions. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, we paid distributions of $314,487 to our limited partners and $3,177 to our general partner. Commitments At March 31, 2005, we are a party to a non-recourse loan agreement that expired during January 2005. The lender has a security interest in the LLC II Aircraft and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease. Payments are being made by the lessee directly to the lender on the non-recourse debt that was due January 2005. We are currently negotiating to transfer title of the aircraft to the lender for the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. At March 31, 2005, the debt had an outstanding principal balance of $9,396,534. Management Fees and Administrative Expense Reimbursements Prior to July 1, 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, the Partnership paid the General Partner management fees ranging from 1% to 7% based on a percentage of the rentals received either directly by the Partnership or through joint ventures. In addition, the General Partner was reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred in connection with the Partnership's operations. Effective July 1, 2004, the General Partner voluntarily decided to waive its right to future management fees and administrative expense reimbursements. Risks and Uncertainties At March 31, 2005, except as noted above in the Business Overview section and listed below, we believe there were no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties which are likely to have a material effect on our liquidity. Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report and other periodic statements we make, including, but not limited to, the following: o The market for aircraft is currently depressed due to an overabundance of aircraft on the market resulting from the overall downturn in the aviation industry following the events of September 11, 2001. While the market for these aircraft is cyclical, there can be no assurance that it will recover. Failure of the market to recover significantly may result in our inability to realize our investment in the residuals of the aircraft in our portfolio. Inflation and Interest Rates The potential effects of inflation on us are difficult to predict. If the general economy experiences significant rates of inflation; however, it could affect us in a number of ways. We do not currently have or expect to have rent escalation clauses tied to inflation in our leases. The anticipated residual values to be realized upon the sale or re-lease of equipment upon lease terminations (and thus the overall cash flow from our leases) may be expected to increase with inflation as the cost of similar new and used equipment increases. 19 Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk We, like most other companies, are exposed to certain market risks, which includes changes in interest rates and the demand for equipment (and the related residuals) owned by us. We believe that our exposure to other market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity risk and equity price risk, are insignificant, at this time, to both our financial position and our results of operations. In general, we manage our exposure to interest rate risk by obtaining fixed rate debt. The fixed rate debt is structured so as to match the cash flows required to service the debt to the payment streams under fixed rate lease receivables. The payments under the leases are assigned to the lenders in satisfaction of the debt. We may finance leases with a floating interest rate and we are therefore exposed to interest rate risk until fixed rate financing is arranged. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of ICON Capital Corp., our General Partner, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon the evaluation, except as noted below, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. While evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures we recognized that greater internal controls were needed to aid in a more efficient closing of our financial statements, thereby requiring additional skilled accounting staff. Towards the end of the third quarter of 2004, the Company hired a new senior vice president of accounting and the Company is in the process of seeking additional accounting staff in order to better effectuate the Company's internal controls. We will continue to evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures to determine their effectiveness and adequacy and will take the steps necessary, in our opinion, to ensure the adequacy of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures. Our General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have determined that no weakness in disclosure controls and procedures had any material effect on the accuracy and completeness of the Company's financial reporting and disclosure included in this report. 20 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of conducting our business, there may be certain claims, suits and complaints filed against us. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. No material legal proceedings are currently pending against us or against any of our assets. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds Not applicable. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities We are a party to non-recourse debt that was due during January 2005 with a required balloon payment of approximately $9,300,000, which was not paid. The lender has a security interest in an aircraft owned by the joint venture and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease. Payments are being made by the lessee directly to the lender on the non-recourse debt that was due in January 2005. We are currently negotiating to transfer title of the aircraft to the lender for the outstanding balance of the non-recourse debt. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the first quarter 2005. Item 5. Other Information Not applicable. Item 6.
