                     ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series B
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                  June 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 six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  For the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
the Partnership  accrued or paid to the General Partner  administrative  expense
reimbursements  of $4,063  and  $7,083,  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

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 87% and 13% of total investments at June 30,
2000,  respectively,  and 73% and 27% of total  investments  at June  30,  1999,
respectively.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $52,724  representing
a decrease of $15,569 from 1999. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a
decrease in finance  income of $36,017  which  resulted from the decrease in the
average size of the portfolio from 1999 to 2000. This decrease was partially off
set by an  increase  in gain on sale of  equipment  in the first  quarter  which
resulted  from an  increase  in the  number  of  leases  maturing  in which  the
underlying equipment was sold for proceeds which exceeded book value.

      Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $70,507, representing
an increase of $15,751 from 1999. General and  administrative  expense increased
by $35,326 from 1999 due primarily to an increase in professional services fees.
The increase in general and  administrative  expenses was partially  offset by a
decrease  in interest  expense of $16,555  from 1999 and a decrease of $3,020 in
administrative  expense  reimbursements.   Interest  expense  decreased  as  the
remaining  note  payable  balance was paid as of June 30,  2000.  Administrative
expense reimbursements decreased due to the reduction in the average size of the
portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Net  (loss)  income for the six  months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999 was
$(17,783) and $13,537, respectively. The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $(0.09) and $0.07 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Results of Operation for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,796, representing
a decrease of $31,251  from 1999.  The decrease in revenues was due to a loss on
sales of equipment of $7,800,  along with decreases in finance income of $15,424
and interest  income of $1,149.  The decrease in finance income  resulted from a
decrease in the average size of the portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000  were   $38,452,
representing  an  increase  of $12,024  from 1999.  General  and  administrative
expense  increased  by  $24,429  from 1999 due to an  increase  in  professional
services 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
payable  balance  was  paid  as  of  June  30,  2000.   Administrative   expense
reimbursements  decreased  due  to the  reduction  in the  average  size  of the
portfolio from 1999 to 2000.

      Net (loss)  income for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
$(36,656) and $6,619  respectively.  The net (loss) income per weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $(0.18) and $0.03 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  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 six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 were net cash provided by operations of $215,289 and $125,630,
respectively.  These  sources were used to fund cash  distributions  and to make
payments  on the note  payable.  Four cash  distributions  to  limited  partners
totaling  $99,900  were made in the 2000 period and six  distributions  totaling
$99,897 were made in the 1999 period.

      As of June 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.
