                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    ---------------------------------------

(1)     This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the SEC requirements
for unaudited financial statements and does not contain all of the necessary
footnote disclosures required for a complete presentation of the Balance Sheets
and Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of IDS/Jones Growth Partners
89-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, its
Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 and its Statements of Cash Flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999.

        The Partnership owns a 24.4 percent interest in IDS/Jones Joint Venture
Partners (the "Venture") through a capital contribution of $14,008,000 made in
1990. Jones Cable Corporation, a Colorado corporation, is the "Managing General
Partner." Neither the Partnership nor the Venture currently own any cable
television systems. The Partnership and the Venture are expected to be dissolved
in 2000. The Venture intends to distribute all of its cash to its constituent
partners prior to its dissolution and the Partnership expects to make a final
distribution of its cash on hand to limited partners prior to its dissolution.

        The Partnership's investment in the Venture is accounted for using the
equity method. At June 30, 2000 the Partnership had recorded an investment in
the Venture of $347,629.

        On April 7, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") completed the
acquisition of a controlling interest in Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Jones
Intercable"), the parent of the Managing General Partner until March 2, 2000. In
December 1999, Comcast and Jones Intercable entered into a definitive merger
agreement pursuant to which Comcast agreed to acquire all of the outstanding
shares of Jones Intercable not yet owned by Comcast. On March 2, 2000, Jones
Intercable was merged with and into Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Comcast. As a result of this transaction, Jones Intercable no
longer exists and Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. continued as the surviving
corporation of the merger. On July 28, 2000, Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. was
merged with and into Comcast Cable Communications, Inc., ("Comcast Cable"),
another wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast. The Managing General Partner is now
a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast Cable and, as such, is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Comcast. The Managing General Partner and Comcast Cable
share corporate offices with Comcast at 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19102-2148.

(2)     The Partnership reimburses its Managing General Partner for certain
administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid for corporate personnel. Such personnel provide administrative,
accounting, tax, legal and investor relations services to the Partnership. Such
services, and their related costs, are necessary to the administration of the
Partnership until it is dissolved. Such costs were charged to other expense on
the Partnership's Statements of Operations. Reimbursements made by the
Partnership to its Managing General Partner for administrative expenses during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 were $4,543 and $11,264,
respectively. Reimbursements by the Venture to its Managing General Partner for
administrative expenses during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1999 were $10,694 and $15,808, respectively, of which $2,609 and $3,857,
respectively, were attributed to the Partnership's 24.4 percent interest in the
Venture.

        IDS Cable Corporation (the supervising general partner of the
Partnership) may also be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred on behalf of
the Partnership and the Venture. There were no reimbursements made to IDS Cable
Corporation during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
