     ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.

     In  August  1997  the  Partnership,  Series E and L.P.  Seven  formed  ICON
Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"),  for the purpose of originating leases and
securitizing its portfolio. The Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven contributed
cash and received an 8.33%,  75% and 16.67% interest,  respectively,  in 1997-B.
The Partnership's cash  contributions  amounted to $250,000 in 1997 and $163,978
in 1998 and $30,260 in 1999. In order to fund the acquisition of leases,  1997-B
obtained a  warehouse  borrowing  facility  from  Prudential  Securities  Credit
Corporation (the "1997-B Warehouse Facility"). In October 1998, 1997-B completed
an equipment  securitization.  The net proceeds from the securitization of these
assets were used to pay-off the remaining 1997-B Warehouse  Facility balance and
any remaining proceeds were distributed to the 1997-B members in accordance with
their  membership  interests.  The  Partnership  accounts for its  investment in
1997-B  under  the  equity  method of  accounting.  The  Partnership's  original
investment was recorded at cost and is adjusted by its share of earnings, losses
and distributions thereafter.

ICON Boardman Funding L.L.C.

     In December 1998 the Partnership and three affiliates, Series C, L.P. Seven
and ICON Income  Fund Eight A L.P.  ("Eight  A") formed  ICON  Boardman  Funding
L.L.C.  ("ICON BF"), for the purpose of acquiring a lease with Portland  General
Electric.  The purchase price totaled $27,421,810,  and was funded with cash and
non-recourse debt assumed in the purchase price. The Partnership, Series C, L.P.
Seven and Eight A received a .5%, .5%, .5% and 98.5% interest,  respectively, in
ICON BF. The Partnership's original investment was recorded at cost of
$56,960  and is  adjusted by its share of  earnings,  losses and  distributions,
thereafter. Simultaneously with the acquisition of the Portland General Electric
lease by ICON BF, a portion of the rent  receivable in excess of the senior debt
payments was acquired by the Partnership from ICON BF for $3,801,108.

AIC Trust

     During  1999,  L.P.  Seven,  an affiliate  of the  Partnership,  acquired a
portfolio of equipment  leases for  $6,854,830.  Subsequently,  L.P.  Seven sold
interests in this portfolio at various dates in 1999 to Eight A, an affiliate of
the  Partnership,  for $3,000,000 and to the  Partnership for $1,750,000 at book
value,  which  approximated  fair market value at the dates of sale.  L.P. Seven
recognized no gain or loss on the sales of these  interests to either Eight A or
to the Partnership.

     As a result of the sales of these  interests,  as of September 30, 2000 the
Partnership  and Eight A owned  interests  aggregating  25.51% and 43.73% in the
lease portfolio with L.P. Seven owning a 30.76% interest at that date. The lease
portfolio  is owned and  operated as a joint  venture  ("AIC  Trust").  Profits,
losses,  excess  cash and  disposition  proceeds  are  allocated  based upon the
Partnerships'   percentage   ownership  interests  in  the  venture  during  the
respective  periods  the  Partnerships  held  such  interests.  The  Partnership
accounts for its investment under the equity method of accounting.

4.    Disposition of Investment in Joint Venture

     In  December  1996,  ICON Cash Flow  Partners  L.P.  Seven  ("L.P.  Seven")
purchased for  $12,325,000 a 50% share of an option to acquire the 100% interest
in a drilling rig, currently on lease to Rowan Companies, Inc.

     In March 2000,  L.P. Seven formed a joint venture for the purpose of owning
the 50% share of the option to acquire the  residual  interest  in the  drilling
rig.

     L.P.  Seven  contributed  its investment in the option with a book value of
$12,394,328 to the joint venture ("Rowan Joint  Venture").  Simultaneously,  the
Partnership  acquired  an interest in this joint  venture for  $2,250,000.  This
transaction was recorded at cost,  which  approximated  fair market value.  L.P.
Seven  recognized  no  gain  or  loss  on  the  sale  of  this  interest  to the
Partnership.  The  Partnership  had the right to put its  interest  in the joint
venture back to L.P.  Seven at any time on or after  September 15, 2000 for 110%
of the purchase  price.  L.P.  Seven had the right to repurchase the interest in
the joint venture from the  Partnership  at any time prior to September 15, 2000
for an amount equal to 105% of the Partnership's  purchase price, which right it
exercised  in the  third  quarter  2000.  As a result of this  transaction,  the
Partnership  recognized  income  from  equity  investment  in joint  ventures of
$112,500.

                               September 30, 2000

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

     The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of a net  investment  in  finance
leases,  operating  leases,  investments  in  unconsolidated  joint ventures and
investments  in  financings  of 39%,  51%,  9% and 1% of  total  investments  at
September 30, 2000,  respectively,  and 47%, 47%, 5% and 1% 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  $1,790,912
representing an increase of $685,372 from 1999. The increase in revenues was due
primarily  to  increases  in gain on sales of  equipment of $470,291 and finance
income of  $203,491.  These  increases  were  partially  offset by a decrease in
income from equity investment in joint ventures of $26,618. The increase in gain
on sales resulted  primarily from one large sale  transaction  completed in 2000
which  involved  one  lessee  and  generated  a gain on  sale  of  approximately
$417,000.  No  sales  activity  occurred  in the  1999  period.  Finance  income
increased as a result of a higher level of renewal rent payments  being received
in the 2000 period.  These renewal rent payments exceeded the remaining residual
values of the underlying  leases. The decrease in income from equity investments
in joint ventures  resulted  primarily from a provision for bad debt of $500,000
being  recorded in the third quarter of 2000 by the  underlying  joint  venture,
ICON Receivables 1997-A L.L.C. ("1997-A"),  offset in part by the recognition of
$112,500 of income  from the  disposition  in 2000 of the  interest in the Rowan
Joint Venture.

     Expenses  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 were  $840,773
representing  a decrease of $25,094.  The decrease is due primarily to decreases
in general and administrative  expenses of $15,410,  management fees of $28,486,
amortization  of initial  direct  costs of $28,900  and  administrative  expense
reimbursement  of $19,424.  These decreases were the result of a decrease in the
average size of the Partnership's lease investment portfolios from 1999 to 2000.

     Net income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
$950,139 and $239,673,  respectively.  Net income per weighted  average  limited
partnership unit outstanding was $2.49 and $.63 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

     Revenues  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 were  $4,804,926
representing  an increase of $807,348  from 1999.  The  increase in revenues was
primarily due to increases in finance  income of $408,358,  interest  income and
other of $112,731 and gain on sale of equipment  of  $288,431.  These  increases
were  partially  offset by a decrease in income from equity  investment in joint
ventures of $5,172.  Finance income  increased  primarily as a result of renewal
rent  payments  received on certain  leases in the second and third  quarters of
2000,  which were in excess of the remaining  residual  values of the underlying
leases.  The increase in gain on sales of equipment  resulted primarily from the
one large sale

                               September 30, 2000

transaction  completed in the third quarter of 2000,  which  generated a gain on
sale of  approximately  $417,000.  Interest income and other increased due to an
increase in the average cash  balance from 1999 to 2000.  The decrease in income
from equity  investment  in joint  ventures  resulted  primarily  from the third
quarter 2000 provision for bad debt being recorded by 1997-A,  offset in part by
the  recognition  in  the  third  quarter  of  2000  of  income  related  to the
disposition  of the interest in the Rowan Joint Venture and from the  investment
in AIC Trust in which the Partnership invested in the fourth quarter of 1999.

     Expenses  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 were  $2,580,949
representing a decrease of $308,374.  The decrease in expenses was primarily due
to decreases in  management  fees of $189,786,  amortization  of initial  direct
costs of $107,567 and administrative  expense  reimbursements of $98,251.  These
decreases  were  partially  offset by an increase in general and  administrative
expenses of $58,875.  The decreases in management fees,  amortization of initial
direct  costs  and  administrative  fees were a result  of the  decrease  in the
average size of the Partnership's lease investment portfolios from 1999 to 2000.
The increase in general and  administrative  expenses resulted primarily from an
increase in professional fee levels in the first half of 2000.

     Net  income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 was
$2,223,977  and  $1,108,255,  respectively.  Net  income  per  weighted  limited
partnership unit outstanding was $5.82 and $2.89, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership's  primary  source  of  funds  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999 was net cash provided by operations of $838,771 and
$1,110,622,  respectively and proceeds from the sales of equipment of $1,687,085
and $5,451,664, respectively.

     Cash  distributions to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $3,050,402 and $3,058,578,
respectively.

     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, sales of equipment and
borrowings, the Partnership will invest in equipment leases and financings where
it deems it to be prudent while  retaining  sufficient  cash to meet its reserve
requirements and recurring obligations.
