Net Investment in Notes Receivable | 3) Net Investment in Notes Receivable As of September 30, 2018 , we had net investment in notes receivable on non-accrual status of $3,060,000 and no net investment in notes receivable that was past due 90 days or more and still accruing.

As of December 31, 2017 , we had net investment in notes receivable on non-accrual status of $1,950,000 and no net investment in notes receivable that was past due 90 days or more and still accruing. See below for further details regarding our note receivable related to four affiliates of Técnicas Maritimas Avanzadas, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, “TMA”). Net investment in notes receivable consisted of the following: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Principal outstanding (1) $ 9,097,438 $ 10,119,672 Deferred fees (259,863 ) (313,120 ) Credit loss reserve (2) (2,078,796 ) (1,550,490 ) Net investment in notes receivable (3) $ 6,758,779 $ 8,256,062 (1) As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , total principal outstanding related to our impaired loans was $7,980,347 and $3,500,490 , respectively. (2) As of September 30, 2018 , we had a credit loss reserve of $2,287,243 related to LSC, of which $208,447 was reserved against the accrued interest receivable included in other assets and $2,078,796 was reserved against net investment in notes receivable. As of December 31, 2017 , we had a credit loss reserve of $2,615,158 related to TMA, of which $1,064,668 was reserved against the accrued interest receivable included in other assets and $1,550,490 was reserved against net investment in notes receivable. (3) As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , net investment in notes receivable related to our impaired loans was $5,653,472 and $1,950,000 , respectively. On July 14, 2014, we, ICON Leasing Fund Twelve Liquidating Trust (formerly, ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC) (“Fund Twelve”) and ICON ECI Fund Fifteen, L.P. (“Fund Fifteen”), each an entity also managed by our Investment Manager (collectively, “ICON”), entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with TMA to provide a credit facility of up to $29,000,000 (the “ICON Loan”), of which our commitment of $ 3,625,000 was funded on August 27, 2014 (the “TMA Initial Closing Date”). The facility was used by TMA to acquire and refinance two platform supply vessels. At inception, the loan bore interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), subject to a 1% floor, plus a margin of 17% . Upon the acceptance of both vessels by TMA’s sub-charterer on September 19, 2014, the margin was reduced to 13% . On November 24, 2014, ICON entered into an amended and restated senior secured term loan credit facility agreement with TMA pursuant to which an unaffiliated third-party (the “Senior Lender”) agreed to provide a senior secured term loan in the amount of up to $89,000,000 (the “Senior Loan,” and collectively with the ICON Loan, the “TMA Facility”) to acquire two additional vessels. The TMA Facility had a term of five years from the TMA Initial Closing Date. As a result of the amendment, the margin for the ICON Loan increased to 15% and repayment of the ICON Loan became subordinated to the repayment of the Senior Loan. The TMA Facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in the four vessels and TMA’s right to the collection of hire with respect to earnings from the sub-charterer related to the four vessels. As a condition to the amendment and increased size of the TMA Facility, TMA was required to cause all four platform supply vessels to be under contract by March 31, 2015. Due to TMA’s failure to meet such condition, TMA was in technical default and in payment default while available cash was swept by the Senior Lender and applied to the Senior Loan in accordance with the loan agreement. As a result, the principal balance of the Senior Loan amortized at a faster rate. In January 2016, the remaining two previously unchartered vessels had commenced employment. Our Investment Manager continued to assess the collectability of the note receivable at each reporting date as TMA’s credit quality slowly deteriorated and the fair market value of the collateral continued to decrease. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, our Investment Manager believed it was prudent to place the note receivable on non-accrual status. In September 2017, our Investment Manager met with certain restructuring advisors engaged by TMA to discuss a potential restructuring of the company. In light of these developments and a decrease in the fair market value of the collateral, in which we had a second priority security interest, our Investment Manager determined to record a credit loss of $1,750,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017. On December 26, 2017, ICON, the Senior Lender and TMA entered into a restructuring support and lock-up agreement to commit to a restructuring of TMA’s outstanding debt obligations and to provide additional funding to TMA, subject to execution of definitive agreements. As a result of this restructuring (as further described below), our Investment Manager assessed the collectability of the note receivable as of December 31, 2017 and recorded an additional credit loss of $865,158 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. On January 5, 2018, ICON, the Senior Lender and TMA executed all definitive agreements including, without limitation, the second amended and restated term loan credit facility agreement in connection with the restructuring of the TMA Facility (the “Second Amendment”). Under the Second Amendment, ICON funded a total of $8,000,000 in exchange for (i) all amounts payable under the Senior Loan would amortize at a faster rate, at which time ICON would become the senior lender and have a first priority security interest in the four vessels and TMA’s right to the earnings generated by the vessels; and (ii) a 12.5% equity interest in two affiliates of TMA. Also as part of the Second Amendment, ICON agreed to reduce its aggregate notes and interest receivables to $20,000,000 in connection with the overall restructuring plan. As a result of the Second Amendment, on January 5, 2018, we funded our additional commitment of $1,000,000 , which represented our share of the total additional commitment to TMA, and our note and interest receivables due from TMA were reduced to $2,500,000 . As of January 5, 2018, our share of the fair value of the 12.5% equity interest in two affiliates of TMA was estimated to be $450,000 , which was based on an independent third-party valuation. Of our $1,000,000 additional commitment to TMA, we recorded $450,000 as an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note 7) and the remaining $550,000 as an additional loan to TMA. As a result of this restructuring, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we wrote off the allowance for credit loss of $2,615,158 related to TMA, of which $1,064,668 was previously reserved against the accrued interest receivable and $1,550,490 was previously reserved against our net investment in notes receivable. In addition, we also wrote off the corresponding $1,064,668 accrued interest receivable. In accordance with the Second Amendment, our restructured loan of $ 2,500,000 bears interest at a rate of 12% per year and is scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021 . The amended TMA Facility is secured by substantially the same collateral that secured the TMA Facility prior to the restructuring. On June 12, 2018, all of TMA’s obligations to the Senior Lender and all amounts payable under the Senior Loan were satisfied in full. As a result, ICON became the agent and senior lender and has a first priority security interest in the four vessels and TMA’s right to the earnings generated by the vessels. Interest was accrued as paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest until the Senior Loan was satisfied in full. Upon satisfaction of the Senior Loan, (i) $131,667 of PIK interest was reclassified to principal; and (ii) the ICON Loan is being amortized at 25% per year and together with interest, is payable quarterly in arrears. On July 5, 2018, we extended the due date of certain payments from TMA for an additional 15 days for a fee of $3,750 . Such payments were thereafter timely received from TMA. On October 4, 2018, we extended the due date of the quarterly interest and principal payments from TMA for an additional 20 days for a fee of $ 5,000 . The fee was timely received, but the quarterly interest and principal payments were not received from TMA until November 9, 2018. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our net investment in notes receivable related to TMA was $2,593,472 and $1,950,000 , respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, we had an accrued interest receivable related to TMA of $1,064,668 , which had been fully reserved, resulting in a net carrying value of $0 . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recognized finance income of $83,334 and $232,109 , respectively, of which no amount was recognized on a cash basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized finance income of $0 and $111,279 , respectively, of which no amount was recognized on a cash basis. On December 30, 2016, we, Fund Fifteen and ICON ECI Fund Sixteen (“Fund Sixteen”), an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, entered into a secured term loan agreement with LSC to provide a loan in the aggregate amount of $32,500,000 , of which our commitment of $5,525,000 was funded on such date. The loan bears interest at LIBOR, subject to a 1% floor, plus 11% per year, and is for a period of four years maturing on December 30, 2020. The loan is secured by a second priority security interest in LSC’s accounts receivable and inventory and a first priority security interest in all of LSC’s other assets. LSC has been experiencing financial difficulties and has failed to make its quarterly in-arrears payments since July 1, 2018. As a result, principal and interest due from LSC are currently more than 90 days past due. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, LSC engaged a chief restructuring officer and we are currently working with LSC and its stakeholders to assess LSC’s financial condition for purposes of formulating a restructuring plan. As part of these discussions, on October 19, 2018, we, LSC and each of its other lenders entered into forbearance agreements under which we agreed to forbear from exercising our rights as a result of LSC’s various defaults under the loan agreement until no later than January 15, 2019 while we, LSC and each of its other stakeholders continue negotiating a restructuring plan. In light of these developments, our Investment Manager determined that there was doubt regarding the collectability of the note receivable. Our Investment Manager assessed the collectability of the note receivable by using a weighted-average of the concluded values from a market approach and an income approach utilizing (i) an enterprise value derived from adjusted EBITDA multiples of certain comparable public companies and of certain targeted/acquired companies and (ii) the value derived from discounted cash flows using company-specific projections and discount rates for companies of similar size and/or risk profiles. Based on such assessment, our Investment Manager believed that we may potentially not be able to recover approximately $ 1,700,000 to $ 2,600,000 of the outstanding balance due from LSC as of September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a credit loss of $2,287,243 based on this assessment, which our Investment Manager believed was the best estimate considering information that was then currently available. As we continue our discussions with LSC and its stakeholders regarding a restructuring plan, which may or may not come to fruition, going forward we will adjust the credit loss reserve accordingly based on new developments. On December 20, 2016, we, Fund Fifteen and Fund Sixteen entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with CFL Momentum Beheer B.V. and C.V. CFL Momentum (collectively, “CFL”) to provide a credit facility of up to $7,400,000 , of which our commitment of $1,258,000 was funded on December 21, 2016. The loan bears interest at 8% per year and we are entitled to an equity participation fee based partly on the fair market value of the vessel upon repayment of the loan. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 21, 2020. The loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in and earnings from a motor cargo vessel. CFL and Industrial Maritime Carriers (Bermuda), Ltd. (“IMC”), the sub-charterer of the vessel, are in default of their respective obligations under the loan documents and the sub-charter, respectively, due to, among other things (i) CFL frequently incurs shortfalls on its quarterly payments to us under the loan agreement resulting in a past due balance of $70,037 as of September 30, 2018; (ii) CFL’s failure to ensure the payment of, and IMC’s failure to pay, all sub-charter payments related to the vessel directly into a designated earnings account since September 2017; (iii) CFL’s failure to maintain a minimum liquidity amount in such designated earnings account; and (iv) CFL’s failure to satisfy its financial reporting requirements under the loan agreement. As a result, on October 5, 2018, we advised CFL that we were accelerating the repayment of all amounts payable under the loan and demanded that CFL and/or its guarantors immediately repay such amounts to us. CFL and/or its guarantors failed to make such payments. On October 22, 2018, we exercised our rights under the loan documents to assume CFL’s obligations under the sub-charter with IMC and to substitute CFL with our designee as the owner of the vessel solely for purposes of the sub-charter. As a result, all sub-charter payments will be paid directly to us going forward to satisfy amounts payable under the loan. Our Investment Manager continues to evaluate additional remedies that are available to us in order to enforce our rights under the loan documents and the sub-charter.
