                          Notes to Financial Statements

                               September 30, 2000

                                   (unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The financial  statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P., Series B (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 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  represented not misleading.  The results for the interim period are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results for the full year.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.    Amendment to Partnership Agreement

     The Partnership's  original  reinvestment  period was to expire on November
15,  1995,  five  years  after the  final  closing  date.  The  General  Partner
distributed a definitive  consent  statement to the limited  partners to solicit
approval  of two  amendments  to the  Partnership  agreement.  A majority of the
limited partnership units outstanding responded affirmatively and the amendments
were adopted.  These  amendments  are effective from and after November 15, 1995
and  include:  (1)  extending  the  reinvestment  period  for a maximum  of four
additional years to November 1999 and likewise delaying the start and end of the
liquidation period, and (2) eliminating the Partnership's  obligation to pay the
General Partner $241,652 of the $368,652  accrued and unpaid  management fees as
of December 31, 1996 and all additional  management  fees which would  otherwise
accrue.  The remaining  $127,000 of previously accrued management fees were paid
to the General Partner in 1999. The General Partner  subsequently  remitted this
amount  back  to  the   Partnership  in  the  form  of  an  additional   capital
contribution.

3.    Related Party Transactions

      As a result of the approval of the  amendments  as discussed in Note 2, no
management  fees were accrued or paid to the General Partner for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, the Partnership accrued or paid to the General Partner  administrative
expense reimbursements of $5,009 and $9,972, respectively, which were charged to
operations.

4.    Note Payable

      In February 1997, the Partnership borrowed $1,500,000 from a bank pursuant
to a four year term loan agreement. The note carried an interest rate of 9%, and
was payable in  consecutive  monthly  installments  through  November  2000. The
Partnership  repaid the remaining  principal balance of this note in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000.

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

      The Partnership's portfolio consisted of net investments in finance leases
and financings,  which represented 83% and 17% of total investments at September
30, 2000,  respectively,  and 73% and 27% of total  investments at September 30,
1999, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues  for the three  months ended  September  30, 2000 were  ($56,272)
representing a decrease of $77,035 from 1999. The decrease in revenue was due to
a loss on sales of  equipment  of $61,143 in 2000  together  with a decrease  in
finance  income of $15,112.  The  decrease  in finance  income  resulted  from a
decrease in the average size of the lease portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Expenses  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 were  $16,192,
representing  a decrease of $10,546  from 1999.  Interest  expense  decreased by
$7,586 as the  remaining  note  balance was paid in the second  quarter of 2000.
General and administrative  expenses and administrative  expense  reimbursements
decreased  by $1,017  and  $1,943,  respectively,  due to the  reduction  of the
average size of the lease portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Net (loss) for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
($72,464)  and  ($5,975),  respectively.  The net  income per  weighted  average
limited   partnership   unit  was   ($0.36)  and  ($0.03)  for  2000  and  1999,
respectively.

Results of Operation for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 were  ($3,548),
representing  a decrease  of $92,604  from 1999.  The  decrease  in revenue  was
primarily due to a decrease in finance  income of $51,128,  which  resulted from
the decrease in the average size of the lease  portfolio from 1999 to 2000 and a
loss on  sales  of  equipment  in 2000  of  $30,769,  which  resulted  from  the
underlying equipment being sold for proceeds which were less than book value.

      Expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 were  $86,699,
representing  an  increase  of $5,205  from  1999.  General  and  administrative
expenses  increased  by $34,308  from 1999 due to an  increase  in  professional
service fees. The increase in general and administrative  expenses was partially
offset  by  a  decrease  in  interest   expense   and   administrative   expense
reimbursements  from 1999.  Interest  expense  decreased as the  remaining  note
balance  was  paid  in  the  second  quarter  of  2000.  Administrative  expense
reimbursements  decreased  due to the reduction in the average size of the lease
portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Net (loss)  income for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999
was  ($90,247)  and  $7,562  respectively.  The net (loss)  income per  weighted
average  limited  partnership  unit  was  ($0.45)  and  $0.04  for 2000 and 1999
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  reinvestment  period ended and its disposition  period
began in November 1999.  During the disposition  period the Partnership has, and
will continue to distribute substantially all distributable cash from operations
and  equipment  sales to the partners and begin the orderly  termination  of its
operations  and  affairs.  The  Partnership  has not, and will not invest in any
additional  finance  or  lease  transactions   during  the  disposition  period.
Accordingly,  finance income  revenues have, and will continue to decline as the
asset base is  disposed  of.  During the  disposition  period,  the  Partnership
expects to recover, at a minimum, the carrying value of its assets.

      The Partnership  intends to fund cash  distributions,  to the extent funds
are available,  utilizing cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of
equipment.  As a result  of the  Partnership's  entering  into  the  disposition
period,  future monthly distributions are expected to fluctuate depending on the
amount of monthly asset sales.

      The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of funds for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were net cash provided by operations of $232,594 and
$252,832,  respectively.  These sources were used to fund cash distributions and
to make payments on the note payable.  Cash  distributions  to limited  partners
totaled $149,832 in the 2000 period and $149,846 in the 1999 period.

      As  of  September  30,  2000  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 sales of equipment,
the Partnership will make distributions while retaining  sufficient cash to meet
obligations as they become due.
