PART  I

Item  1.  Business.
-------------------

(a)  General  Development  of  Business

American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust")
was  formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the
same  date  by  and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
and  American  Income  Partners V-B Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").  In
accordance  with  the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action
lawsuit  entitled  Leonard  Rosenblum,  et  al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership,  et  al.  (the  "Settlement  Agreement")  and pursuant to a Plan of
Liquidation  and  Dissolution  dated  as  of  July  18,  2002  (the "Plan"), the
Partnership  dissolved  and  transferred  all  of  its  remaining  assets  and
liabilities  to the Trust, including a $1,371,414 cash reserve set aside for the
estimated  contingent  liabilities  of  the  Partnership  and  the  Trust.

From  and  after  July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be
pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust.  Pursuant to the terms of the
Liquidating  Trust  Agreement,  the  Trustee  shall complete the liquidation and
distribution  of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities
of  the  Partnership.  In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds
from  the  sale  of  the  assets  of  the  Trust and cash, less reserves for any
contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no
later  than  December  31,  2003.

As permitted by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis
Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment
Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November
13,  2002.  As  Manager,  Equis  Corporation  is  to  continue  to  perform  the
management, administrative, accounting and advisory services as may be requested
by  the Trustee and as were previously rendered by Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership  ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned by EFG, which
also  owns  the  General  Partner,  as  discussed  below.

The Partnership, which has been dissolved, was originally organized as a limited
partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on September
29, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified
portfolio  of  capital  equipment.  Partners'  capital  initially  consisted  of
contributions  from  a  General  Partner  (AFG  Leasing IV Incorporated) and the
Initial  Limited  Partner  (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General
Partner  is  owned  by  EFG.

(b)  Financial  Information  About  Industry  Segments

The  Trust  has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to the Liquidating
Trust  Agreement  with Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee.  The Trustee's role,
among  other things, is to complete the liquidation of the assets and to satisfy
or  discharge the liabilities of the Trust.  As discussed above, the Trustee has
appointed  Equis  Corporation  as the Manager of the Trust.  The Trustee and the
Manager  are  both  compensated  for  such  services  as  provided  for  in  the
Liquidating  Trust  Agreement.

The Trust is engaged in only one operating industry segment: financial services.
Industry  segment  data  is  not  applicable.

See  "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"  included  in  Item  7  herein.

(c)  Narrative  Description  of  Business

The  Trust  was  organized for the sole purpose to liquidate and dissolve all of
the  remaining  assets  and  liabilities of the Partnership with no objective to
continue  or  engage in the conduct of trade or business.  At December 31, 2002,
the  Trust's  net  assets  primarily  consisted  of:

-     Cash  and  cash  equivalents
 -     Accounts  and  interest  receivable  -  affiliate
 -     Note  receivable  and  investment  securities  -  affiliate
-     Accrued  liabilities

The  Trust  has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to the Liquidating
Trust  Agreement  with Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee.  The Trustee's role,
among  other things, is to complete the liquidation of the assets and to satisfy
or  discharge  the liabilities of the Trust.  In accordance with the Liquidating
Trust  Agreement,  the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as the manager of
the  Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement between Wilmington
Trust  Company  and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002.  The Trustee and
the  Manager  are  both  compensated  for  such  services as provided for in the
Liquidating  Trust  Agreement.

All  operating  expenses  incurred  directly  by  the  Trust  are  disbursed  by
Wilmington  Trust  on  behalf  of  the  Trust.  During  the liquidation process,
certain  other  operating  expenses  incurred  by  the  Trust  are paid by Equis
Corporation in its role as Manager. Equis Corporation is reimbursed by the Trust
at its actual cost for such expenditures.   Fees and other costs incurred during
the  period  July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002, which were paid or accrued
by  the  Trust  to  Equis  Corporation  or  its  affiliates,  were  $31,675.

In  accordance  with  the liquidation basis of accounting, the Trust recorded an
accrual  as  of  December  31,  2002  for  the estimated costs to be incurred to
liquidate  the  Trust.  Approximately $127,000 of the accrual is estimated to be
paid  to  the  Manager for salaries and other expenses incurred to liquidate the
assets.

Item  2.  Properties.
---------------------

None.

Item  3.  Legal  Proceedings.
-----------------------------

The  Trust  is subject to various claims and proceedings in the normal course of
business.  The  Trustee  believes  that  the  disposition of such matters is not
expected  to  have  a  material  adverse effect on the financial position of the
Trust  or  its  results  of  operations.

Item  4.  Submission  of  Matters  to  a  Vote  of  Security  Holders.

Item  5.  Market  for  the  Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matters.
--------

(a)  Market  Information

There  is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not anticipated
that  a  public  market  for  resale  of  the  Units  will  develop.

(b)  Approximate  Number  of  Security  Holders

At  December  31,  2002,  there  were  2,243  record  holders  in  the  Trust.

(c)  Dividend  History  and  Restrictions

Cash  distributions  of  $2,152,364  and  $6,900,000 were paid to the beneficial
interest  holders  of  the  Trust  on  August  18,  2002  and December 31, 2002,
respectively.  In  any  given  year,  it  is  possible  that beneficial interest
holders  in  the Trust will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed
cash.  This  discrepancy  between  tax obligations and cash distributions may or
may  not  continue  in  the  future,  and  cash  may or may not be available for
distribution  to  the beneficial interest holders in the Trust adequate to cover
any  tax  obligation.

Cash  distributions  when  paid to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust,
consist  of both a return of and a return on capital.  Cash distributions do not
represent  and  are  not  indicative  of  yield  on investment.  Actual yield on
investment cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Trust
and  will be primarily dependent upon the proceeds realized from the liquidation
of  the  Trust's  remaining  assets  offset  by  the  associated  costs  of such
liquidation  and  dissolution  of  the  Trust.

Item  6.  Selected  Financial  Data.
------------------------------------

The  following  data  should  be  read in conjunction with Item 7, "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
the  financial  statements  included  in  Item  8  herein.

FORWARD-LOOKING  INFORMATION

Certain  statements  in this Form 10-K of the Trust that are not historical fact
constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  the Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks
and  uncertainties.  There  are  a  number  of  factors  that could cause actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in  any forward-looking
statements  made  herein.  These  factors  include,  but are not limited to, the
performance  and  liquidation  of  the  Trust's  non-equipment assets and future
economic  conditions.

OVERVIEW

American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust")
was  formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the
same  date  by  and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
and  American  Income  Partners V-B Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").  In
accordance  with  the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action
lawsuit  entitled  Leonard  Rosenblum,  et  al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership,  et  al.  (the  "Settlement  Agreement")  and pursuant to a Plan of
Liquidation  and  Dissolution  dated  as  of  July  18,  2002  (the "Plan"), the
Partnership  dissolved  and  transferred  all  of  its  remaining  assets  and
liabilities  to the Trust, including a $1,371,414 cash reserve set aside for the
estimated  contingent  liabilities  of  the  Partnership  and  the  Trust.

From  and  after  July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be
pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust.  Pursuant to the terms of the
Liquidating  Trust  Agreement,  the  Trustee  shall complete the liquidation and
distribution  of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities
of  the  Partnership.  In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds
from  the  sale  of  the  assets  of  the  Trust and cash, less reserves for any
contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no
later  than  December  31,  2003.

In  accordance  with  the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed
Equis  Corporation  as  the  manager  of  the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the
Appointment  Agreement  between  Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation,
dated November 13, 2002. As Manager, Equis Corporation is to continue to perform
the  management,  administrative,  accounting  and  advisory  services as may be
requested  by  the  Trustee  and  as were previously rendered by Equis Financial
Group  Limited Partnership ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned
by  EFG,  which  also  owns  the  General  Partner,  as  discussed  below.

The Partnership, which has been dissolved, was originally organized as a limited
partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on September
29, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified
portfolio  of  capital  equipment.  Partners'  capital  initially  consisted  of
contributions  from  a  General  Partner  (AFG  Leasing IV Incorporated) and the
Initial  Limited  Partner  (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General
Partner  is  owned  by  EFG.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

In  accordance  with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of
the  assets  are  presented  at  net  realizable amounts and all liabilities are
presented  at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated
with  completing  the  liquidation  of  the Trust.  Preparation of the financial
statements  on  a  liquidation  basis  requires  significant  assumptions  by
management,  including  the  estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of
any  contingent  liabilities.  There  may be differences between the assumptions
and  the actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur
as  expected.  Those  differences,  if  any, could result in a change in the net
assets  recorded  in  the  Statement  of  Net  Assets  in  Liquidation.

At  December  31, 2002, the Trust had included in accounts receivable-affiliates
$10,936,  which  was  paid  in  full  in  January  2003.

The  Trust  has a $622,191 note receivable plus accrued interest of $38,086 from
an  affiliate  (the  "Semele Note") at December 31, 2002, from Semele Group Inc.
("Semele"),  an  affiliated  entity.  The  Semele note matures in April 2003 and
bears  an  annual interest rate of 10% with mandatory principal reductions prior
to  maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are received by Semele from
the  sale  or  refinancing  of  its principal real estate asset consisting of an
undeveloped 274-acre parcel of land near Malibu, California.  In accordance with
the  terms  of  the  Settlement  Agreement, in November 2002 an affiliate of EFG
purchased  30%  of the aggregate principal amount of Semele Note and the related
accrued  interest  from  the Trust.  On March 17, 2003, the remaining balance on
the  Semele  Note  and  accrued interest of $13,135 were paid in full by Semele.

At  December  31,  2002, the Trust had an investment in securities- affiliate of
$41,699  consisting  of  39,339  shares  of Semele stock held by the Trust.  The
investment  securities  are carried at fair market value.  Pursuant to the terms
of  the  Settlement  Agreement,  EFG  has agreed that it will pay the difference
between  $5.00  per  share  and  the  average purchase price per share of Semele
common  stock  sold,  if  lesser,  through  the  period  ending  June  30, 2003.
Accordingly,  the  Trust  has  recorded  the  amount due of $154,996 as accounts
receivable  - affiliate at December 31, 2002. The balance of the receivable will
fluctuate  inversely  with  the  value  of  the  common  stock.

The  Trust  had  accrued  liabilities of $275,769 at December 31, 2002.  Accrued
liabilities  consist  of  costs  incurred  and  estimated  costs associated with
liquidating  the  assets.  To  the  extent the Trust has a contingent liability,
meaning  generally a liability the payment of which is subject to the outcome of
a  future  event,  the  Trust  recognizes  a  liability  when  the amount of the
liability  can be reasonably estimated and the liability is probable.  There may
be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events and
circumstances  frequently  do not occur as expected.  Those differences, if any,
could  result  in  a  change  in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net
Assets  in  Liquidation.

The  events  of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath have adversely affected the
overall  economy. While the Trustee cannot determine if these events will have a
material  effect  on the Trust in the next year, it is monitoring the economy to
assess  the  timing  of  disposition  of  the  remaining  non-equipment  assets.

Cash  distributions  of  $2,152,364  and  $6,900,000 were paid to the beneficial
interest  holders  of  the  Trust  on  August  18,  2002  and December 31, 2002,
respectively.  In  any  given  year,  it  is  possible  that beneficial interest
holders  in  the Trust will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed
cash.  This  discrepancy  between  tax obligations and cash distributions may or
may  not  continue  in  the  future,  and  cash  may or may not be available for
distribution  to  the beneficial interest holders in the Trust adequate to cover
any  tax  obligation.

Cash  distributions  when  paid  to the beneficial interest holders in the Trust
generally  consist  of  both  a  return  of  and  a  return  on  capital.  Cash
distributions  do  not  represent and are not indicative of yield on investment.
Actual  yield  on  investment  cannot  be  determined  with  any certainty until
conclusion  of  the  Trust  and  will  be  primarily dependent upon the proceeds
realized  from  the  liquidation  of  the Trust's remaining assets offset by the
associated  costs  of  such  liquidation  and  dissolution  of  the  Trust.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  AND  LIQUIDATION  ADJUSTMENTS

The  Liquidating  Trust  Agreement  provides  Equis  Corporation (the "Manager")
authority  to  liquidate the remaining assets of the Trust in an orderly manner.
As  a  result  of  the  liquidation,  operations  are  being  accounted for on a
liquidation  basis  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Net  income from operations was $163,053 and change in provision for liquidation
expenses  resulted  in  a decrease in net assets of $184,362 for the period July
18,  2002  through  December  31,  2002.

Results  of  Operations
-----------------------

Significant  transactions  included  in  the Trust's Statement of Changes in Net
Assets  In Liquidation as a component of operations for the period July 18, 2002
(date  of  inception)  through  December  31,  2002  include:

In accordance with the Settlement, on or prior to July 18, 2002, Equis Financial
Group  Limited  Partnership ("EFG") agreed to buy a loan made by the Partnership
to  Echelon  Residential  Holdings  LLC  ("Echelon  Residential Holdings").  EFG
agreed  to  purchase  the  loan  on or before December 31, 2002 for its original
principal  value  of $5,700,000, less any amounts previously paid, together with
interest  accruing  at  an  annual  rate  of  7.5%.

This loan was originally made to Echelon Residential Holdings by the Partnership
together  with  loans  made by ten other affiliated partnerships.  In accordance
with the Settlement Agreement and in anticipation of the purchase of the loan by
EFG, the Trust agreed not to foreclose or initiate foreclosure procedures on the
loan.

As  of  July  18,  2002, the loan and related accrued interest were increased to
their  estimated  net  realizable  amounts  during  the  Trust's  adjustment  to
liquidation  accounting  in  the  amount $618,764, which is reflected in the net
assets  transferred  into  the  Trust.

On November 29, 2002, an affiliate of EFG purchased the loan for its outstanding
principal  of  $4,816,682  plus interest accrued at an annual rate of 7.5% for a
total  purchase  price  of  $5,952,638,  resulting  in  a  gain  to the Trust of
approximately  $1,136,000.

The  Trust  also incurred expenses of approximately $973,000 incurred during the
period  July  18,  2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002 related to
the  liquidation  of  the  Trust's  assets  and  operations  of  the  Trust.

Liquidation  Adjustments
------------------------

During  the  period July 18, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2002,
the  Trust  recorded  a  change  in  provision  for  liquidation  expenses  of
approximately  $184,000  reflecting  the  Manager's  revised  estimate  of  the
additional  amounts  expected  to  be  incurred  to  liquidate  the  Trust.  The
additional liquidation costs are directly correlated to management's estimate of
the  amount  of  time  necessary  to  dissolve  the  Trust.

CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  AND  ESTIMATES

The  Trustee  believes the following critical accounting policies, among others,
are  subject  to  significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
these  financial  statements.

Liquidation  Accounting
-----------------------

In  accordance  with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of
the  assets  are  presented  at  net  realizable amounts and all liabilities are
presented  at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated
with  completing  the  liquidation  of  the Trust.  Preparation of the financial
statements on a liquidation basis requires significant assumptions by the Trust,
including the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any contingent
liabilities.  There  may  be  differences between the assumptions and the actual
results  because  events  and  circumstances  do  not  occur as expected.  Those
differences,  if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the
Statement  of  Net  Assets  in  Liquidation.

Cash  Equivalents  and  Investment  Securities
----------------------------------------------

The  Trust  classifies  any  amounts  on deposits in banks and all highly liquid
investments  purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash
and  cash  equivalents.

Investment  Securities  -  Affiliate
------------------------------------

The  Trust's  investment  securities-  affiliate  consists  of the Semele common
stock.  The  Semele stock, which is publicly traded, is carried at fair value in
accordance  with  the  liquidation  method of accounting.  The fair value of the
common  stock  was  determined  using the quoted market price as of December 31,
2002.

Accrued  Liabilities
--------------------

Accrued liabilities consist of assumptions by management, including the estimate
of  liquidation  costs  and the resolution of any contingent liabilities.  There
may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events
and  circumstances  frequently  do not occur as expected.  Those differences, if
any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net
Assets  in  Liquidation.

Commitments  and  Contingencies
-------------------------------

The  Trust  is  subject to various claims and proceeding in the normal course of
business.  The  Trustee  believes  that  the  disposition of such matters is not
expected  to  have  a  material  adverse effect on the financial position of the
Trust  or  its  results  of  operations.

New  Accounting  Pronouncements
-------------------------------

In  July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141,  "Business  Combinations".  SFAS  141  requires that the purchase method of
accounting  be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,
as  well  as  all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30,
2001.  SFAS  141  also  specifies  criteria that intangible assets acquired in a
purchase  method  business  combination  must meet to be recognized and reported
apart from goodwill.  The Trust adopted SFAS 141 upon formation on July 18, 2002
and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of
operations.

The Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS. No. 142") on January 1, 2002.  As a result,
the  discontinuance of goodwill amortization was effective upon adoption of SFAS
No.  142.  SFAS  No.  142  also  includes provisions for the reclassification of
certain  existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful
lives  of  existing  recognized  intangibles,  reclassification  of  certain
intangibles  out  of  previously  reported  goodwill,  and the identification of
reporting  units  for  purposes  of  assessing  potential  future impairments of
goodwill.  The  amount  of the impairment is the difference between the carrying
amount  and  the fair value of the asset.  Fair value of the asset is calculated
using  several  valuation models which utilize the expected future cash flows of
the  Trust.  The Trust adopted SFAS 142 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such
adoption  had  no  effect  on  the  Trust's  financial  position  and results of
operations.

In  June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
143,  "Accounting  for  Asset  Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 establishes
accounting  standards  for  the recognition and measurement of legal obligations
associated  with  the  retirement of tangible long-lived assets and requires the
recognition  of  a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in
which  it is incurred. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 at the beginning of fiscal
2003  and  such  adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation
and  statement  of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In  accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards)  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the Impairment or
Disposal  of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), the Trust evaluates long-lived
assets  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  values  of  such assets may not be recoverable.  Losses for impairment
are  recognized when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be realized from a
long-lived  asset are determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset
and  the  carrying  amount  of  long-lived  assets  exceed  its fair value.  The
determination  of  fair  value  for  a  given  investment  requires  several
considerations,  including but not limited to, income expected to be earned from
the  asset, estimated sales proceeds, and holding costs excluding interest.  The
Trust  adopted SFAS 144 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no
effect  on  the  Trust's  financial  position  and  results  of  operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.4,
44  and  64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections." As a
result of the rescission of SFAS No. 4, a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt
will  no  longer be presented as an extraordinary item upon the adoption of SFAS
No.  145.  The  Trust  adopted SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002
and  such  adoption  had  no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and
statement  of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 is based on the general principle that
a  liability  for  a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be
recorded  when  it is incurred and initially measured at fair value. SFAS No.146
applies  to  costs associated with (1) an exit activity that does not involve an
entity  newly  acquired  in  a  business combination, or (2) a disposal activity
within  the  scope  of  SFAS  No.144.  These  costs  include certain termination
benefits,  costs  to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, and other
associated  costs  to  consolidate facilities or relocate employees. Because the
provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal
activities  initiated  after  December  31,  2002,  the  effect of adopting this
statement  has  not  been  determined.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness  of Others" ("FIN 45").  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be
made  by  a  guarantor  in its interim and annual financial statements about its
obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that
a  guarantor  is  required  to  recognize,  at  the  inception of a guarantee, a
liability  for  the  fair  value  of  the  obligation  undertaken in issuing the
guarantee.  The  initial  recognition  and initial measurement provisions of the
interpretation  are  applicable  on  a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified  after  December  31,  2002  and  the  disclosure  requirements in this
interpretation  are  effective  for  financial  statements  of interim or annual
periods  ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement
of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In  January  2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities ("FIN 46").  This interpretation clarifies existing accounting
principles  related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when
the  equity  investors  in  an  entity  do  no  have  the  characteristics  of a
controlling  financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for
the  entity  to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support  from  other  parties.  FIN 46 requires a Trust to evaluate all existing
arrangements  to  identify  situations  where a Trust has a "variable interest,"
commonly  evidenced  by  a  guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide
financial  support,  in  a  "variable  interest  entity,"  commonly  a  thinly
capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a
Trust to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its
own. The Trust has determined that it is not reasonably possible that it will be
required to consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity
upon  the  effective  date of FIN 46. This interpretation applies immediately to
variable  interest  entities  created  after  January  31, 2003, and to variable
interest  entities  in  which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.
It  applies  in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15,
2003,  to  variable  interest  entities  in which an enterprise holds a variable
interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.  If it is reasonably possible
that  an  enterprise  will  consolidate or disclose information about a variable
interest entity when this interpretation becomes effective, the enterprise shall
disclose  information  about  those  entities in all financial statements issued
after  January 31, 2003.  The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a
cumulative-effect  adjustment  as of the date on which it is first applied or by
restating  previously  issued  financial statements for one or more years with a
cumulative-effect  adjustment  as  of  the beginning of the first year restated.
Based  on  the  recent release of this interpretation, we have not completed our
assessment  as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a
material  impact  on  our  financial  statements.

OUTLOOK  FOR  THE  FUTURE

Several  other  factors may affect the Trust's operating performance through the
remainder  of  2003,  including  the  Trust's ability to liquidate its remaining
non-equipment  assets


Item  7A.  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  about  Market  Risks.

The  Trust's  financial statements do not include financial instruments that are
exposed  to  interest  rate  risks.

       AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LIQUIDATING TRUST
                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE  1  -  ORGANIZATION
------------------------

American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership Liquidating Trust (the "Trust")
was  formed as of July 18, 2002 pursuant to a Liquidating Trust Agreement of the
same  date  by  and between Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee")
and  American  Income  Partners V-B Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").  In
accordance  with  the terms of the settlement of the class and derivative action
lawsuit  entitled  Leonard  Rosenblum,  et  al. v. Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership,  et  al.  (the  "Settlement  Agreement")  and pursuant to a Plan of
Liquidation  and  Dissolution  dated  as  of  July  18,  2002  (the "Plan"), the
Partnership  dissolved  and  transferred  all  of  its  remaining  assets  and
liabilities  to the Trust, including a $1,371,414 cash reserve set aside for the
estimated  contingent  liabilities  of  the  Partnership  and  the  Trust.

From  and  after  July 18, 2002, unitholders of the Partnership are deemed to be
pro rata beneficial interest holders in the Trust.  Pursuant to the terms of the
Liquidating  Trust  Agreement,  the  Trustee  shall complete the liquidation and
distribution  of the assets and the satisfaction or discharge of the liabilities
of  the  Partnership.  In accordance with the Plan, all of the net cash proceeds
from  the  sale  of  the  assets  of  the  Trust and cash, less reserves for any
contingent liabilities, are to be distributed to the Trust's interest holders no
later  than  December  31,  2003.

As permitted by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis
Corporation as the manager of the Trust ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment
Agreement between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November
13,  2002.  As  Manager,  Equis  Corporation  is  to  continue  to  perform  the
management, administrative, accounting and advisory services as may be requested
by  the Trustee and as were previously rendered by Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership  ("EFG") or its affiliates. Equis Corporation is owned by EFG, which
also  owns  the  General  Partner,  as  discussed  below.

The Partnership, which has been dissolved, was originally organized as a limited
partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on September
29, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified
portfolio  of  capital  equipment.  Partners'  capital  initially  consisted  of
contributions  from  a  General  Partner  (AFG  Leasing IV Incorporated) and the
Initial  Limited  Partner  (AFG Assignor Corporation). The Partnership's General
Partner  is  owned  by  EFG.

NOTE  2  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES
----------------------------------------------------------

Liquidation  Accounting
-----------------------

In  accordance  with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of
the  assets  are  presented  at  net  realizable amounts and all liabilities are
presented  at estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated
with  completing  the  liquidation  of  the Trust.  Preparation of the financial
statements  on  a  liquidation  basis  requires  significant  assumptions by the
Trustee,  including  the estimate of liquidation costs and the resolution of any
contingent  liabilities.  There  may  be differences between the assumptions and
the  actual  results  because events and circumstances do not occur as expected.
Those  differences,  if any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded
in  the  Statement  of  Net  Assets  in  Liquidation.

In  the  opinion  of  the  Trustee,  all  adjustments  (consisting of normal and
recurring  adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the net assets in
liquidation  at  December  31, 2002 and the changes in net assets in liquidation
for  the  period  July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002 have been made and are
reflected  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements.

The  net adjustment required to convert from the going concern (historical cost)
basis  of  accounting  to the liquidation basis of accounting was an increase in
net  assets of $652,451.  This amount is reflected in the transfer of net assets
at  liquidation  basis in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.
Significant  changes  in  the  carrying  value  of  assets  and  liabilities are
summarized  as  follows:

</TABLE>


Cash  Equivalents  and  Investment  Securities
----------------------------------------------

The  Trust  classifies  any  amounts  on deposits in banks and all highly liquid
investments  purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash
and  cash  equivalents.

Investment  Securities  -  Affiliate
------------------------------------

The  Trust's  investment  securities-  affiliate  consists  of the Semele common
stock.  The  Semele stock, which is publicly traded, is carried at fair value in
accordance  with  the  liquidation  method of accounting.  The fair value of the
common  stock  was  determined  using the quoted market price as of December 31,
2002.

Accrued  Liabilities
--------------------

Accrued liabilities consist of assumptions by management, including the estimate
of  liquidation  costs  and the resolution of any contingent liabilities.  There
may be differences between the assumptions and the actual results because events
and  circumstances  frequently  do not occur as expected.  Those differences, if
any, could result in a change in the net assets recorded in the Statement of Net
Assets  in  Liquidation.

Income  Taxes
-------------

The Trust is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly,
no  provision  for  income  taxes has been recorded in the accounts of the Trust

Allocation  of  Profits  and  Losses  and  Distributions
--------------------------------------------------------

For  financial  statement  purposes,  net  income  or loss and distributions are
allocated to each owner according to their "pro rate beneficial interest" in the
respective  Liquidating  Trust.  Specifically,  net  income  or  loss  and
distributions  are  allocated  based  on  the  type  of  interest  held  in  the
predecessor  Partnership,  and  allocated  95% to the limited partners and 5% to
the  general  partner.

New  Accounting  Pronouncements
-------------------------------

In  July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141,  "Business  Combinations".  SFAS  141  requires that the purchase method of
accounting  be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,
as  well  as  all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30,
2001.  SFAS  141  also  specifies  criteria that intangible assets acquired in a
purchase  method  business  combination  must meet to be recognized and reported
apart from goodwill.  The Trust adopted SFAS 141 upon formation on July 18, 2002
and such adoption had no effect on the Trust's financial position and results of
operations.

The Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS. No. 142") on January 1, 2002.  As a result,
the  discontinuance of goodwill amortization was effective upon adoption of SFAS
No.  142.  SFAS  No.  142  also  includes provisions for the reclassification of
certain  existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful
lives  of  existing  recognized  intangibles,  reclassification  of  certain
intangibles  out  of  previously  reported  goodwill,  and the identification of
reporting  units  for  purposes  of  assessing  potential  future impairments of
goodwill.  The  amount  of the impairment is the difference between the carrying
amount  and  the fair value of the asset.  Fair value of the asset is calculated
using  several  valuation models which utilize the expected future cash flows of
the  Trust.  The Trust adopted SFAS 142 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such
adoption  had  no  effect  on  the  Trust's  financial  position  and results of
operations.

In  June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
143,  "Accounting  for  Asset  Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 establishes
accounting  standards  for  the recognition and measurement of legal obligations
associated  with  the  retirement of tangible long-lived assets and requires the
recognition  of  a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in
which  it is incurred. The Trust adopted SFAS No. 143 at the beginning of fiscal
2003  and  such  adoption had no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation
and  statement  of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In  accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards)  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the Impairment or
Disposal  of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), the Trust evaluates long-lived
assets  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  values  of  such assets may not be recoverable.  Losses for impairment
are  recognized when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be realized from a
long-lived  asset are determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset
and  the  carrying  amount  of  long-lived  assets  exceed  its fair value.  The
determination  of  fair  value  for  a  given  investment  requires  several
considerations,  including but not limited to, income expected to be earned from
the  asset, estimated sales proceeds, and holding costs excluding interest.  The
Trust  adopted SFAS 144 upon formation on July 18, 2002 and such adoption had no
effect  on  the  Trust's  financial  position  and  results  of  operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.4,
44  and  64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections." As a
result of the rescission of SFAS No. 4, a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt
will  no  longer be presented as an extraordinary item upon the adoption of SFAS
No.  145.  The  Trust  adopted SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002
and  such  adoption  had  no effect on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and
statement  of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 is based on the general principle that
a  liability  for  a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity should be
recorded  when  it is incurred and initially measured at fair value. SFAS No.146
applies  to  costs associated with (1) an exit activity that does not involve an
entity  newly  acquired  in  a  business combination, or (2) a disposal activity
within  the  scope  of  SFAS  No.144.  These  costs  include certain termination
benefits,  costs  to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, and other
associated  costs  to  consolidate facilities or relocate employees. Because the
provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal
activities  initiated  after  December  31,  2002,  the  effect of adopting this
statement  has  not  been  determined.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness  of Others" ("FIN 45").  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be
made  by  a  guarantor  in its interim and annual financial statements about its
obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that
a  guarantor  is  required  to  recognize,  at  the  inception of a guarantee, a
liability  for  the  fair  value  of  the  obligation  undertaken in issuing the
guarantee.  The  initial  recognition  and initial measurement provisions of the
interpretation  are  applicable  on  a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified  after  December  31,  2002  and  the  disclosure  requirements in this
interpretation  are  effective  for  financial  statements  of interim or annual
periods  ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Trust's net assets in liquidation and statement
of  changes  in  net  assets  in  liquidation.

In  January  2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities ("FIN 46").  This interpretation clarifies existing accounting
principles  related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when
the  equity  investors  in  an  entity  do  no  have  the  characteristics  of a
controlling  financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for
the  entity  to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support  from  other  parties.  FIN 46 requires a Trust to evaluate all existing
arrangements  to  identify  situations  where a Trust has a "variable interest,"
commonly  evidenced  by  a  guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide
financial  support,  in  a  "variable  interest  entity,"  commonly  a  thinly
capitalized entity, and further determine when such variable interest requires a
Trust to consolidate the variable interest entities financial statement with its
own. The Trust has determined that it is not reasonably possible that it will be
required to consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity
upon  the  effective  date of FIN 46. This interpretation applies immediately to
variable  interest  entities  created  after  January  31, 2003, and to variable
interest  entities  in  which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.
It  applies  in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15,
2003,  to  variable  interest  entities  in which an enterprise holds a variable
interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.  If it is reasonably possible
that  an  enterprise  will  consolidate or disclose information about a variable
interest entity when this interpretation becomes effective, the enterprise shall
disclose  information  about  those  entities in all financial statements issued
after  January 31, 2003.  The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a
cumulative-effect  adjustment  as of the date on which it is first applied or by
restating  previously  issued  financial statements for one or more years with a
cumulative-effect  adjustment  as  of  the beginning of the first year restated.
Based  on  the  recent release of this interpretation, we have not completed our
assessment  as to whether or not the adoption of this interpretation will have a
material  impact  on  our  financial  statements.

NOTE  3  -  INVESTMENT  SECURITIES  -  AFFILIATE AND NOTE RECEIVABLE - AFFILIATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trust is the indirect beneficial owner of 39,339 shares of Semele Group Inc.
("Semele")  common  stock  and  a  note  from Semele (the "Semele Note") with an
original  purchase price of $888,844.  The Semele Note matures in April 2003 and
bears  an annual interest rate of 10%, with mandatory principal reductions prior
to  maturity, if and to the extent that net proceeds are received by Semele from
the  sale  or  refinancing  of  its principal real estate asset consisting of an
undeveloped  274-acre  parcel  of  land  near  Malibu,  California.  The  Trust
recognized  interest  income  of  $23,475  related to the Semele Note during the
period  July  18,  2002  through  December  31,  2002.
In  accordance  with  the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in November 2002 an
affiliate  of EFG purchased 30% of the aggregate principal amount of Semele Note
and  the  related  accrued  interest  from  the  Trust.  On  March 17, 2003, the
remaining  balance  on the Semele Note and accrued interest of $13,135 were paid
in  full  by  Semele.
In  accordance  with the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying values of
the  assets are presented at net realizable amounts.  During the period July 18,
2002  (date  of  inception)  through  December 31, 2002, the Trust decreased the
carrying  value of its investment in Semele common stock from $1.66 per share to
$1.06  per  share (the quoted price of Semele stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on
the  date the stock traded closest to December 31, 2002), resulting in a loss of
$23,603. The loss is offset by other income from an increase in the value of the
note  receivable  affiliate,  which  fluctuates  inversely with the value of the
stock.  As  a  result,  there  is no effect on net income from operations in the
Statement  of  Changes  in  Net  Assets  in  Liquidation.

Pursuant  to  the  terms  of the Settlement, EFG has agreed that it will pay the
difference  between  $5.00 per share and the average purchase price per share of
Semele  common  stock  sold, if lesser, through the period ending June 30, 2003.
Accordingly,  the  Trust  has  accrued  the  amount  due of $154,996 as accounts
receivable  -  affiliate  at  December  31,  2002.

NOTE  4  -  RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS
----------------------------------------

All  operating  expenses  incurred  directly  by  the  Trust  are  disbursed  by
Wilmington Trust on behalf of the Trust. The Trustee's role, among other things,
is  to  complete  the  liquidation of the assets and to satisfy or discharge the
liabilities  of  the  Trust.

The  Trust  has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to the Liquidating
Trust  Agreement  with  Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee.  In accordance with
the  Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trustee has appointed Equis Corporation as
the  manager  of  the  Trust  ("Manager"), pursuant to the Appointment Agreement
between Wilmington Trust Company and Equis Corporation, dated November 13, 2002.
The  Trustee  and the Manager are both compensated for such services as provided
for  in  the  Liquidating  Trust  Agreement.

During the liquidation process, certain operating expenses incurred by the Trust
are  paid  by  Equis  Corporation  in  its role as Manager. Equis Corporation is
reimbursed  by  the  Trust  at its actual cost for such expenditures.   Fees and
other  costs incurred during the period July 18, 2002 through December 31, 2002,
which  were paid or accrued by the Trust to Equis Corporation or its affiliates,
were  $31,675.

In  accordance  with  the liquidation basis of accounting, the Trust recorded an
accrual  as  of  December  31,  2002  for  the estimated costs to be incurred to
liquidate  the  Trust.  Approximately $127,000 of the accrual is estimated to be
paid  to  the  Manager for salaries and other expenses incurred to liquidate the
Trust's  remaining  assets.
