      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 three months
ended March 31,  2000 and 1999.  For the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and
1999,  the  Partnership  accrued or paid to the General  Partner  administrative
expense reimbursements of $2,499 and $3,674, 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 loan  agreement  grants a  security
interest in certain Partnership lease rental payments and collateral relating to
a specified group of leases and financing transactions.  The note bears interest
at 9%, and is payable in consecutive monthly installments. The principal balance
outstanding at March 31, 2000 totaled $112,203.

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 76% and 24% of total investments at March 31,
2000,  respectively,  and 69% and 31% of total  investments  at March 31,  1999,
respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  were  $50,927,
representing  an increase of $15,681 from 1999. The increase in revenues was due
to a gain on sales of  equipment  of $38,173 in 2000,  as  compared to a loss on
sales of equipment of $436 in 1999.  This was partially  offset by a decrease in
finance  income of  $20,593,  from  $33,296 in 1999 to  $12,703  in the  current
quarter.  The gain on sales of  equipment  increased  due to an  increase in the
number of leases  maturing in which the underlying  equipment was sold.  Finance
income  decreased due to the decrease in the average size of the portfolio  from
1999 to 2000.

      Expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  were  $32,054,
representing an increase of $3,726 from 1999. General and administrative expense
increased by $10,897 from 1999 due to an increase in professional  services fees
that was partially offset by a small decrease in printing costs. The increase in
expenses was partially  offset by a decrease in interest expense of $5,996 and a
decrease in administrative  expense reimbursements of $1,175 from 1999. Interest
expense   decreased  as  the  remaining  note  payable   balance   declined  and
administrative  expense  reimbursements  decreased  due to the  reduction in the
average size of the portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Net income for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $18,873
and  $6,918,   respectively.   The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $.09 and $.03 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.  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 three  months  ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 were net cash  provided by  operations  of $125,259  and
$172,638,  respectively,  and  proceeds  from sales of equipment of $129,766 and
$12,100, respectively. These sources were used to fund cash distributions and to
make payments on the note payable.  Two cash  distributions  to limited partners
totaling $33,299 were made in the 2000 period and three  distributions  totaling
$49,950 were made in the 1999 period.

      As of March 31, 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.
