(1) | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. and consolidated subsidiaries (“the Partnership”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of ICON GP 14, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“the General Partner”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICON Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ICON Capital” and also the “Investment Manager”), all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in prior periods to conform to the current presentation. Interest income from notes receivable has been reclassified to finance income within the consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2010, the Partnership adopted the accounting pronouncement related to the disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The pronouncement requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statements users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowances for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses and class of financing receivable. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period will be required for the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of these additional disclosures did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Partnership exchanged its 42.62% ownership interest in a joint venture for its proportionate share of notes receivable from ION Geophysical Corp. (“ION”), which notes receivable were previously owned by the joint venture. The aggregate principal balance of the notes was approximately $6,830,000, which accrue interest at 15% and mature on August 1, 2014. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction. Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was terminated.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Partnership exchanged its 40.20% ownership interest in a joint venture for an assignment of its proportionate share of the future cash flows of a loan receivable from Quattro Plant Limited (“Quattro”), which was previously owned by the joint venture. As a result of this assignment, the Partnership recorded a loan receivable of approximately £2,028,000, which accrues interest at 20% and matures on October 1, 2012. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction. Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was terminated.
Prior to the exchange, the results of operations of the joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were as summarized below:
| | Three Months Ended | |

Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Investment Manager weighs all credit decisions on a combination of external credit ratings as well as internal credit evaluations of all potential borrowers. A potential borrower’s credit application is analyzed using those credit ratings as well as the potential borrower’s financial statements and other financial data deemed relevant.
The Partnership’s notes receivable are limited in number and are spread across a wide range of industries. Accordingly, the Partnership does not aggregate notes receivable into portfolio segments or classes. Due to the limited number of notes receivable, the Partnership is able to estimate the allowance for credit losses based on a detailed analysis of each note receivable as opposed to using portfolio based metrics and allowance for credit losses. Notes are analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or nonperforming based on payment history. If a note becomes non-performing due to a borrower’s missed scheduled payments or failed financial covenants, the Investment Manager analyzes whether a reserve should be established or the note should be restructured. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Investment Manager determined that no allowance for credit losses was required.
Interest income recognized on notes receivable is included in finance income within the consolidated statements of operations.

(7) | Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse |
As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership and certain entities managed by the Investment Manager (collectively, the “Borrowers”) were party to a Commercial Loan Agreement, as amended (the “Prior Loan Agreement”), with California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”). At March 31, 2011, there were no obligations outstanding under the Prior Loan Agreement and the Borrowers were in compliance with all covenants under the Prior Loan Agreement. As of May 10, 2011, the Prior Loan Agreement was terminated.
On May 10, 2011, the Partnership entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CB&T. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $15,000,000 pursuant to a senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Facility”), which is secured by all of the Partnership’s assets not subject to a first priority lien, as defined in the Loan Agreement. Amounts available under the Facility are subject to a borrowing base that is determined, subject to certain limitations, on the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which the Partnership has a beneficial interest.
The Facility expires on March 31, 2013 and the Partnership may request a one year extension to the revolving line of credit within 390 days of the then-current expiration date, but CB&T has no obligation to extend. The interest rate for general advances under the Facility is CB&T’s prime rate and the interest rate on up to five separate non-prime rate advances that are permitted to be made under the Facility is the 90-day rate at which U.S. dollar deposits can be acquired by CB&T in the London Interbank Eurocurrency Market plus 2.5% per year, provided that neither interest rate is permitted to be less than 4.0% per year. In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay a commitment fee based on an annual rate of 0.50% on unused commitments under the Facility.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Partnership is required to comply with certain covenants.

(9) | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value information with respect to the Partnership’s leased assets and liabilities is not separately provided since (i) the current accounting pronouncements do not require fair value disclosures of lease arrangements and (ii) the carrying value of financial assets, other than lease-related investments, and the recorded value of recourse debt approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and variable interest rates. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s fixed rate notes receivable and fixed rate non-recourse long term debt was based on the discounted value of future cash flows related to the loans based on recent transactions of this type.
| | March 31, 2011 | |
| | Carrying Amount | | | Fair Value | |
Fixed rate notes receivable | | $ | 41,804,345 | | | $ | 42,151,831 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Fixed rate non-recourse long term debt | | $ | 41,735,416 | | | $ | 43,857,660 | |

(10) | Commitments and Contingencies |
At the time the Partnership acquires or divests of its interest in a diverse pool of business essential equipment and corporate infrastructure (collectively, “Capital Assets”), the Partnership may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities. The General Partner believes that any liability that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Partnership taken as a whole.
In connection with certain investments, the Partnership is required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks. The aforementioned cash amounts are presented within other assets in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011.
The following is a discussion of our current financial position and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. This discussion should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures below regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” and the “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms include ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview
We operate as an equipment leasing and finance fund in which the capital our partners invest is pooled together to make investments in Capital Assets, pay fees and establish a small reserve. We commenced operations on June 19, 2009. From such date to May 11, 2011, we raised $243,172,085 in total equity, and will continue to raise equity until our offering period ends on or before May 18, 2011. We will use a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of our limited partnership interests (“Interests”) to invest in Capital Assets, including, but not limited to, Capital Assets that are already subject to lease, Capital Assets that we purchase and lease to domestic and global businesses, loans that are secured by Capital Assets, and ownership rights to leased Capital Assets at lease expiration. After these proceeds have been invested, it is anticipated that additional investments will be made with the cash generated from our initial investments to the extent that cash is not used for our expenses, reserves and distributions to limited partners. The investment in additional Capital Assets in this manner is called “reinvestment.” We anticipate investing and reinvesting in Capital Assets from time to time for five years from the date we complete the offering. This time frame is called the “operating period” and may be extended, at our General Partner’s discretion, for up to an additional three years. After the operating period, we will then sell our assets in the ordinary course of business, during a time frame called the “liquidation period.”
Our General Partner manages and controls our business affairs, including, but not limited to, our investments in Capital Assets, under the terms of our limited partnership agreement. Our Investment Manager, an affiliate of our General Partner, will originate and service our investments. Our Investment Manager also sponsored and manages seven other public equipment leasing and finance funds.
Recent Significant Transactions
We engaged in the following significant transactions since December 31, 2010:
New Investments
· | On February 28, 2011, we purchased information technology equipment for the purchase price of approximately $8,452,000 and simultaneously leased the equipment to Global Crossing. The base term of the schedule is for a period of 36 months, which commenced on March 1, 2011. |
· | On March 29, 2011, we and Fund Twelve entered into a joint venture, owned 75% by us and 25% by Fund Twelve, for the purpose of acquiring the AET Vessels. The Aframax tankers were each acquired for a purchase price of $13,000,000, of which $9,000,000 of non-recourse debt was borrowed, and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET for a period of three years. The VLCCs were each acquired for a purchase price of $72,000,000, of which $55,000,000 of non-recourse debt was borrowed, and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET for a period of 10 years. |
On April 5, 2011, we borrowed $22,000,000 of subordinated non-recourse long term debt from an unaffiliated third-party related to the investment in the AET Vessels. The loan is for a period of 60 months and at our option may be extended for an additional twelve months. The loan is secured by an interest in the equity of certain subsidiaries that own the AET Vessels.
· | In connection with the new investments made since December 31, 2010, we paid total acquisition fees to our Investment Manager of approximately $3,500,000. |
Notes Receivable
· | Effective January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 42.62% ownership interest in a joint venture for our proportionate share of notes receivable from ION, which notes receivable were previously owned by the joint venture. The aggregate princpal balance of the notes was approximately $6,830,000, which accrue interest at 15% and mature on August 1, 2014. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction. Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was terminated. |
· | Effective January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 40.20% ownership interest in a joint venture for an assignment of our proportionate share of the future cash flows of a loan receivable from Quattro, which was previously owned by the joint venture. As a result of this assignment, we recorded a loan receivable of approximately £2,028,000, which accrues interest at 20% and matures on October 1, 2012. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction. Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was terminated. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2010, we adopted the accounting pronouncement related to the disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The pronouncement requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statements users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowances for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses and class of financing receivable. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period will be required for our consolidated financial statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 (the “2011 Quarter”) and 2010 (the “2010 Quarter”)
We are currently in our offering period. The minimum offering of $1,200,000 was achieved on June 19, 2009, the Commencement of Operations, and from the Commencement of Operations through March 31, 2011, we raised total equity of $225,300,205. With the net proceeds from our offering, we will invest in Capital Assets. As our investments mature, we may sell the Capital Assets and reinvest the proceeds in additional Capital Assets.

Revenue for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter is summarized as follows:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | Change | |
Finance income | | $ | 3,945,374 | | | $ | 210,473 | | | | 3,734,901 | |
Rental income | | | 1,699,791 | | | | 1,075,749 | | | | 624,042 | |

Other income | | | 176,479 | | | | 22,861 | | | | 153,618 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 5,967,754 | | | $ | 1,976,579 | | | | 3,991,175 | |
Total revenue for the 2011 Quarter increased $3,991,175, or 201.9%, as compared to the 2010 Quarter. The increase in finance income was primarily due to three finance leases and eight notes receivable that we entered into since the 2010 Quarter. The increase in rental income was due to five operating leases that we entered into since the 2010 Quarter. The decrease in income from investments in joint ventures is due to the exchange of our interests in two joint ventures for notes receivable.
Expenses for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter are summarized as follows:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | Change | |
Management fees | | $ | 336,186 | | | $ | 78,611 | | | $ | 257,575 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total expenses | | $ | 3,858,384 | | | $ | 1,966,038 | | | $ | 1,892,346 | |
Total expenses for the 2011 Quarter increased $1,892,346, or 96.3%, as compared to the 2010 Quarter. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the equipment acquired under the five operating leases that we entered into since the 2010 Quarter. Interest expense increased as a result of the debt incurred on our transactions since the 2010 Quarter and management fees and administrative expense reimbursements have increased due to our increased transaction volume.
Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the 2011 Quarter increased $41,009, as compared to the 2010 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to a third party’s investment in a previous Global Crossing transaction.
Net Income Attributable to Fund Fourteen
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to us for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter was $2,068,361 and $10,541, respectively. The net income attributable to us per weighted average limited partnership interest outstanding for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter was $9.82 and $0.12.
This section discusses the major balance sheet variances at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010.
Total Assets
Total assets increased $169,272,929, from $209,982,733 at December 31, 2010 to $379,255,662 at March 31, 2011. The increase in total assets was primarily the result of cash proceeds received from the sale of our Interests, which were then used to make investments in four debt financed operating leases and one finance lease.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increased $129,382,520, from $47,517,990 at December 31, 2010 to $176,900,510 at March 31, 2011. The increase primarily related to the non-recourse long term debt incurred relating to the purchase of the AET Vessels.
Equity
Equity increased $39,890,409, from $162,464,743 at December 31, 2010 to $202,355,152 at March 31, 2011. The increase primarily related to the cash proceeds received from the sale of our Interests, Fund Twelve’s noncontrolling interest in the AET Vessels and our net income for the 2011 Quarter, which was offset by the distributions paid to our partners and selling and offering expenses related to the sale of our Interests.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Summary
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50,392,595 and $64,317,006, respectively. In addition, pursuant to the terms of our offering, we have established a reserve in the amount of 0.50% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of our Interests. During our offering period, our main source of cash has been from financing activities and our main use of cash has been in investing activities.
We are offering our Interests on a “best efforts” basis with the current intention of raising up to $418,000,000. As additional Interests are sold, we will experience a relative increase in liquidity as cash is received and then a relative decrease in liquidity as cash is expended to make investments. We are using the net proceeds of the offering to invest in Capital Assets located in North America, Europe and other developed markets, including those in Asia, South America and elsewhere. We seek to acquire a portfolio of Capital Assets that is comprised of both (a) transactions that provide current cash flow in the form of rental payments (in the case of leases) and payments of principal and/or interest (in the case of secured loans) and (b) transactions that generate deferred cash flow from realizing the value of the Capital Assets or interests therein at the maturity of the investment or exercise of an option to purchase Capital Assets, or (c) a combination of both.
For the period from the Commencement of Operations through March 31, 2011, we sold 226,373 Interests, representing $225,300,205 of capital contributions. We admitted 6,169 limited partners. For the period from the Commencement of Operations through March 31, 2011, we have paid or accrued sales commissions to third parties of $15,054,476 and underwriting commissions to ICON Securities of $6,511,997. In addition, organization and offering expenses of $2,712,036 were paid or incurred by us, our General Partner or its affiliates during this period.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased $4,119,313, from $1,933,766 in the 2010 Quarter to $6,053,079 in the 2011 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to cash collections of finance and rental income on a larger base of investments offset by increased payments of management fees and administrative expense reimbursements related to our increased activity during the 2011 Quarter.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $38,389,805, from $18,897,479 in the 2010 Quarter to $57,287,284 in the 2011 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to the increased volume of investments offset by repayments of notes receivable during the 2011 Quarter.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased $10,996,639, from $26,313,155 in the 2010 Quarter to $37,309,794 in the 2011 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to the increase in proceeds from the sale of our Interests and the proceeds from the sale of a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to Fund Twelve, which was partially offset by an increase in distributions to partners during the 2011 Quarter.
Sources of Liquidity
Cash generated from the sale of Interests pursuant to our offering will be our most significant source of liquidity during our offering period. We believe that cash generated from the sale of Interests pursuant to our offering and other financing activities, as well as the expected results of our operations, will be sufficient to finance our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including distributions to our partners, general and administrative expenses, new investment opportunities, management fees and administrative expense reimbursements. In addition, we, along with certain entities managed by our Investment Manager, had a revolving line of credit of up to $30,000,000 with CB&T available as of March 31, 2011. Such revolving line of credit was terminated on May 10, 2011 and replaced by a dedicated revolving line of credit on similar terms with CB&T of up to $15,000,000 available to fund our short-term liquidity needs.
Our ability to generate cash in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that affect us and our lessees’ and borrowers’ businesses that are beyond our control.
Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt
We had non-recourse long-term debt obligations at March 31, 2011 of $169,735,416. Most of our non-recourse long-term debt obligations consist of notes payable in which the lender has a security interest in the equipment. If the lessee were to default on the non-recourse long-term debt, the equipment would be returned to the lender in extinguishment of that debt.
Distributions
We, at our General Partner’s discretion, pay monthly distributions to each of our limited partners beginning with the first month after each such limited partner’s admission and expect to continue to pay such distributions until the termination of our operating period. We paid distributions of $39,911, $3,951,230 and $97,311 to our General Partner, limited partners and noncontrolling interests, respectively, during the 2011 Quarter.
Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
Commitments and Contingencies
At the time we acquire or divest of an interest in Capital Assets, we may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities. Our General Partner believes that any liability that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition taken as a whole.
In connection with certain investments, we are required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks. The aforementioned cash amounts are presented within our other assets in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
None.
There are no material changes to the disclosures related to this item since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as well as the financial statements for our General Partner, our General Partner carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our General Partner, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In designing and evaluating our General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures, our General Partner recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.
Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we may be subject to certain claims, suits and complaints filed against us. In our General Partner’s opinion, the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. We are not aware of any material legal proceedings that are currently pending against us or against any of our assets.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
