Organization

ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on July 9, 1997 as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership was engaged in one business segment, the business of purchasing equipment and leasing it to third parties, providing equipment and other financing and, to a lesser degree, acquiring ownership rights of leased equipment at lease expiration. On March 16, 2009, the Partnership transferred all of its assets and liabilities to ICON Income Fund Eight A L.P. Liquidating Trust, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the “Liquidating Trust”), and filed Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to terminate the registration of the Partnership’s limited partnership interests under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and announced that it would cease filing reports under the Exchange Act. The General Partner will issue to beneficiaries and file with the SEC annual reports on Form 10-K and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of a material event relating to the Partnership.  The Partnership’s financial statements have been audited for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, however, the Partnership did not engage independent auditors to perform an audit on the consolidated financial statements contained herein.  Additionally, the Partnership did not engage independent auditors to perform procedures on the audited consolidated financial statements since April 9, 2008.

The Partnership began its liquidation period on December 20, 2005. During the liquidation period, the Partnership distributed substantially all distributable cash from operations and equipment sales to the partners and continued the orderly termination of its operations and affairs.  The Partnership did not invest in any additional financing or lease transactions during the liquidation period.

The general partner of the Partnership is ICON Capital Corp. (the “General Partner”), a Delaware corporation. The General Partner manages and controls the business affairs of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, the equipment leases and other financing transactions that the Partnership entered into pursuant to the terms of the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement as amended (the “LP Agreement”).  Additionally, the General Partner has a 1% interest in the profits, losses, cash distributions and liquidation proceeds of the 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 investors holding 12,000 units of limited partnership interests (the “Units”), representing $1,200,000 of capital contributions.  Between October 15, 1998 and May 17, 2000, the final closing date, 737,965 additional Units were sold representing $73,796,504 of capital contributions, bringing the total sale of Units to 749,965 representing $74,996,504 of capital contributions.  From 1998 through 2008, the Partnership redeemed 14,873 Units, leaving 735,092 Units outstanding at December 31, 2008.

Partners’ capital accounts are increased for their initial capital contribution plus their proportionate share of earnings and decreased by their proportionate share of losses and distributions.  Profits, losses, cash distributions and liquidation proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner until each limited partner has (a) received cash distributions and liquidation sufficient to reduce their adjusted capital account to zero and (b) received, in addition, other distributions and allocations that would provide an 8% per year cumulative return on their outstanding adjusted capital account. After such time, distributions will be allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority- owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Partnership accounts for its noncontrolling interests in joint ventures where the Partnership has influence over financial and operational matters, generally 50% or less ownership interest, 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.  The Partnership accounts for investments in joint ventures where the Partnership has virtually no influence over financial and operational matters using the cost method of accounting.  In such cases, the Partnership's original investments are recorded at cost and any distributions received are recorded as revenue.  All of the Partnership's investments in joint ventures are subject to its impairment review policy.

In joint ventures where the Partnership’s interest is majority owned, the financial condition and results of operations of the joint venture are consolidated.  Minority interest represents the minority owner’s proportionate share of its equity in the joint venture. The minority interest is adjusted for the minority owner’s share of the earnings, losses and distributions of the joint venture.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less.

The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed insured limits. The Partnership has placed these funds in high quality institutions in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Partnership estimates the uncollectibility of receivables by analyzing lessee, borrower and other counterparty concentrations, creditworthiness and current economic trends. The Partnership records an allowance for doubtful accounts when the analysis indicates that the probability of full collection is unlikely.  No allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

      Unguaranteed Residual Values

The Partnership carries its investments in unguaranteed residual values at cost. The net book value is equal to or less than fair value at each reporting period and is subject to the Partnership's impairment review policy.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership leased equipment to third parties and each such lease is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, which is based upon the terms of each lease.  For a finance lease, initial direct costs were capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease.  For an operating lease, the initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies– continued
 
For finance leases, the Partnership recorded, 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 represented the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment.  Unearned income is recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Billed operating lease receivables were included in accounts receivable until collected.  Accounts receivable is stated at its estimated net realizable value.  Deferred income is the difference between the timing of the cash payments and the income recognized on a straight-line basis.

The General Partner has an investment committee that approves each new equipment lease and  other financing transaction.  As part of its process, it determined the residual value, if any, to be used once the investment was approved.  The factors considered in determining the residual value included, but were not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment considered, how the equipment was integrated into the potential lessee’s business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operated.  Residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Partnership’s impairment review policy.

Per Unit Data

Net income (loss) per Unit is based upon the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the year.

Unit Redemptions

The Partnership may, at its discretion, redeem Units from a limited number of its limited partners, as provided for in its LP Agreement. The redemption price for any Units approved for redemption is based upon a formula, as provided in the LP Agreement.  Limited partners were required to hold their Units for at least one year before redemptions will be permitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates primarily include the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, estimated useful lives and residual values. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the retained interest and gain or loss when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The General Partner is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Partnership has a 0.8% ownership interest in the profits, losses, and cash flows from its limited partnership interest in an entity that owns a 100% interest in a mobile offshore drilling rig that is subject to lease with Rowan Companies, Inc. The fair value of this interest was determined using an appraisal and cash flow analysis.

Subsequent Events

On February 13, 2009, the Partnership monetized its interest in ICON Global Crossing by issuing a non-recourse note to AIM Financial Corporation, an unaffiliated party, in the amount of approximately $980,000, which amount represented the discounted present value of the future rental streams the Partnership expected to receive with respect to its interest in the joint venture. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note accrues at a rate of 15% per year. In the event of a default, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note will accrue at 17% per year.

On March 1, 2009, proceeds of approximately $900,000, or approximately $1.22 per Unit, of the proceeds received from the Partnership monetizing its investment in Global Crossing were distributed to the Partnership’s limited partners.

On March 16, 2009, all of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Liquidating Trust and a certificate of cancellation of the Partnership was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, terminating the Partnership’s existence. As of March 16, 2009, the Partnership’s units of general and limited partnership interests were exchanged for an equal number of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and all partners in the Partnership became beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust.
