	(1) Organization
	ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on August 20, 2008 as a Delaware limited partnership. When used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms refer to the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our offering period commenced on May 18, 2009 and ended on May 18, 2011. We are currently in our operating period, which commenced on May 19, 2011.
	We operate as an equipment leasing and finance fund in which the capital our partners invested was pooled together to make investments in business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure (collectively, “Capital Assets”), pay fees and establish a small reserve. We primarily 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 international businesses, loans that are secured by Capital Assets, and ownership rights to leased Capital Assets at lease expiration.
	Our general partner is ICON GP 14, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICON Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as ICON Capital Corp. (“ICON Capital”). Our General Partner manages and controls our business affairs, including, but not limited to, the Capital Assets we invest in. Our General Partner has engaged ICON Capital as our investment manager (the “Investment Manager”) to, among other things, facilitate the acquisition and servicing of our investments.

	(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 our General Partner, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
	Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Finance Leases and Credit Loss Reserve
	Our Investment Manager weighs all credit decisions based on a combination of external credit ratings as well as internal credit evaluations of all borrowers. A borrower’s credit is analyzed using those credit ratings as well as the borrower’s financial statements and other financial data deemed relevant.
	As our financing receivables, generally notes receivable and finance leases, are limited in number, our Investment Manager is able to estimate the credit loss reserve based on a detailed analysis of each financing receivable as opposed to using portfolio-based metrics. Financing receivables are analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or non-performing based on payment history. If a financing receivable becomes non-performing due to a borrower’s missed scheduled payments or failed financial covenants, our Investment Manager analyzes whether a credit loss reserve should be established or whether the financing receivable should be restructured. Material events would be specifically disclosed in the discussion of each financing receivable held.
	Financing receivables are generally placed in a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, our Investment Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days and based upon our Investment Manager’s judgment, these accounts may be placed in a non-accrual status.
	In accordance with the cost recovery method, payments received on non-accrual financing receivables are applied to principal if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of principal. If collection of the principal of non-accrual financing receivables is not in doubt, interest income is recognized on a cash basis. Financing receivables in non-accrual status may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent payments have been received, and we believe recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable.
	When our Investment Manager deems it is probable that we will not be able to collect all contractual principal and interest on a non-performing financing receivable, we perform an analysis to determine if a credit loss reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the financing receivable, or the collateral value of the asset underlying the financing receivable when financing receivable repayment is collateral dependent. If it is determined that the impaired value of the non-performing financing receivable is less than the net carrying value, we will recognize a credit loss reserve or adjust the existing credit loss reserve with a corresponding charge to earnings. We then charge off a financing receivable in the period that it is deemed uncollectible by reducing the credit loss reserve and the balance of the financing receivable.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), requiring revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 becomes effective for us on our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and all subsequent annual and interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

	On July 26, 2011, we made a secured term loan to Western Drilling Inc. and Western Landholdings, LLC (collectively, “Western Drilling”) in the amount of $9,465,000. The loan bore interest at 14% per year and was scheduled to mature on September 1, 2016. The loan was secured by, among other collateral, a first priority security interest in oil and gas drilling rigs and a mortgage on real property. Due to a change in market demand, the utilization of Western Drilling’s rigs declined, which led to Western Drilling’s failure to meet its payment obligations. As a result, the loan was placed on a non-accrual status and we recorded a credit loss of $3,412,087 during the year ended December 31, 2013 based on the estimated value of the recoverable collateral. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we received additional cash proceeds of $11,084 subsequent to the sale of the collateral in May 2014, which resulted in a reversal of the credit loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a credit loss reserve of $862,131 was recognized based on cash proceeds of $3,823,044 received from the sale of the collateral. As of September 30, 2014, we fully reserved the remaining balance of the loan of $3,805,935. We continue to pursue all legal remedies to obtain payment.
	On March 9, 2012, we made a term loan in the amount of $7,500,000 to Kanza Construction, Inc. The loan bore interest at 13% per year and was for a period of 60 months. The loan was secured by a first priority security interest in all of Kanza’s assets. As a result of Kanza’s unexpected financial hardship and failure to meet certain payment obligations, the loan was placed on a non-accrual status and we recorded a total credit loss reserve of approximately $2,959,000 for the shortfall of the loan balance not covered by cash proceeds from the sale of the collateral in 2013. As of September 30, 2014, we fully reserved the remaining balance of the loan of $2,958,795. We continue to pursue all legal remedies to obtain payment.
	On January 31, 2014, INOVA Rentals Corporation (f/k/a ARAM Rentals Corporation) and INOVA Seismic Rentals Inc. (f/k/a ARAM Seismic Rentals Inc.) (collectively, the “INOVA Borrowers”) satisfied their obligation in connection with three term loans scheduled to mature on August 1, 2014 by making a prepayment of approximately $1,368,000. No material gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.
	On April 15, 2014, we sold all of our interest in two term loans, one with Ocean Navigation 5 Co. Ltd. and one with Ocean Navigation 6 Co. Ltd. (collectively, “Ocean Navigation”) scheduled to mature in July and September 2016, respectively, to Garanti Bank International, N.V. (“Garanti Bank”) for $14,400,000. As a result, we wrote off the remaining initial direct costs associated with the notes receivable of approximately $545,000 as a charge against finance income.
	On June 6, 2014, NTS Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “NTS”) satisfied their obligations in connection with two secured term loans scheduled to mature on July 1, 2017 by making a prepayment of approximately $3,421,000, comprised of all outstanding principal, accrued interest and a prepayment fee of approximately $130,000. The prepayment fee was recognized as additional finance income.
	On June 17, 2014, we and ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC (“Fund Twelve”), an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with SeaChange Projects LLC (“SeaChange”) to provide a credit facility of up to $7,000,000, of which our commitment was $700,000. On June 20, 2014 and August 20, 2014, we funded $450,000 and $250,000, respectively. The facility was used to partially finance SeaChange’s acquisition and conversion of a containership vessel to meet certain time charter specifications of the Military Sealift Command of the Department of the United States Navy. The facility bore interest at 13.25% per year and was scheduled to mature on February 15, 2018. The facility was secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in and earnings from the vessel and the equity interests of SeaChange. Due to SeaChange’s inability to meet certain requirements of the Department of the United States Navy, which resulted in the cancellation of the time charter, SeaChange was required to repay all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the facility in accordance with the loan agreement. On September 24, 2014, SeaChange satisfied its obligation by making a prepayment of approximately $720,000, comprised of all outstanding principal and accrued interest.
	On July 2, 2014, SAExploration, Inc., SAExploration Seismic Services (US), LLC and NES, LLC (collectively, “SAE”) satisfied its obligation in connection with a secured term loan scheduled to mature on November 28, 2016 by making a prepayment of approximately $4,592,000, comprised of all outstanding principal, accrued interest and prepayment fees of approximately $449,000. The prepayment fees were recognized as additional finance income.
	On July 7, 2014, Cenveo Corporation (“Cenveo”) made a partial prepayment of approximately $910,000 in connection with a secured term loan, which included a net prepayment fee of approximately $10,000.
	On July 14, 2014, we, Fund Twelve and ICON ECI Fund Fifteen, L.P. (“Fund Fifteen”), an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with two affiliates of Técnicas Maritimas Avanzadas, S.A. de C.V. (collectively “TMA”) to provide a credit facility of up to $29,000,000, of which our commitment of $3,625,000 was funded on August 27, 2014. 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%. The loan matures five years from the date of funding. The loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in and earnings from each of the vessels.
	On September 24, 2014, we, Fund Twelve, Fund Fifteen and ICON ECI Fund Sixteen (“Fund Sixteen”), an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with Premier Trailer Leasing, Inc. (“Premier Trailer”) to provide a credit facility of up to $20,000,000, of which our commitment of $2,500,000 was funded on such date. The loan bears interest at LIBOR subject to a 1% floor, plus 9% per year, and is for a period of six years. The loan is secured by a second priority security interest in all of Premier Trailer’s assets, including, without limitation, its fleet of trailers, and the equity interests of Premier Trailer.

	On March 4, 2014, a joint venture owned 15% by us, 60% by Fund Twelve, 15% by Fund Fifteen and 10% by Fund Sixteen purchased mining equipment from an affiliate of Spurlock Mining, LLC (f/k/a Blackhawk Mining, LLC) (“Spurlock”). Simultaneously, the mining equipment was leased to Spurlock and its affiliates for four years. The aggregate purchase price for the mining equipment of approximately $25,359,000 was funded by approximately $17,859,000 in cash and $7,500,000 of non-recourse long-term debt. Our contribution to the joint venture was $2,693,395.
	On March 21, 2014, a joint venture (“ICON Siva”) owned 12.5% by us, 75% by Fund Twelve and 12.5% by Fund Fifteen, through two indirect subsidiaries, entered into memoranda of agreement to purchase two LPG tanker vessels, the SIVA Coral and the SIVA Pearl (collectively, the “SIVA Vessels”), from Siva Global Ships Limited (“Siva Global”) for an aggregate purchase price of $41,600,000. The SIVA Coral and the SIVA Pearl were delivered on March 28, 2014 and April 8, 2014, respectively. The SIVA Vessels were bareboat chartered to an affiliate of Siva Global for a period of eight years upon the delivery of each respective vessel. The SIVA Vessels were each acquired for approximately $3,550,000 in cash, $12,400,000 of financing through a senior secured loan (the “Loan”) from DVB Group Merchant Bank (Asia) Ltd. (“DVB”) and $4,750,000 of financing through a subordinated, non-interest-bearing seller’s credit. Our contribution to ICON Siva was $1,022,225.
	On June 12, 2014, a joint venture owned 12.5% by us, 75% by Fund Twelve and 12.5% by Fund Fifteen purchased an offshore supply vessel from Pacific Crest Pte. Ltd. (“Pacific Crest”) for $40,000,000. Simultaneously, the vessel was bareboat chartered to Pacific Crest for ten years. The vessel was acquired for approximately $12,000,000 in cash, $26,000,000 of financing through a senior secured loan from DVB and $2,000,000 of financing through a subordinated, non-interest-bearing seller’s credit. Our contribution to the joint venture was $1,617,158.

Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt	'
	(7) Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had non-recourse long-term debt obligations of $155,480,328 and $185,275,365, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, our non-recourse long-term debt obligations had maturity dates ranging from June 21, 2016 to March 29, 2021, and interest rates ranging from 4.983% to 12% per year, some of which are fixed after giving effect to our interest rate swap agreements.
	We, through certain subsidiaries of our joint venture with Fund Twelve, borrowed $128,000,000 (the “Senior Debt”) in connection with the acquisition of two aframax tankers and two very large crude carriers on bareboat charter to AET (collectively, the “AET Vessels”). The joint venture also borrowed $22,000,000 of subordinated non-recourse long-term debt from an unaffiliated third party (the “Sub Debt”).
	On April 20, 2012, the joint venture with the AET Vessels was notified of an event of default on the Senior Debt. Due to a change in the fair value of the AET Vessels, a provision in the Senior Debt loan agreement restricted our ability to utilize cash generated by the charters of the AET Vessels as of January 12, 2012 for purposes other than paying the Senior Debt. Charter payments in excess of the Senior Debt loan service were held in reserve by the Senior Debt lender until such time as the restriction was cured. Once cured, the reserves were to be released to us. While this restriction was in place, we were prevented from applying the charter proceeds to the Sub Debt. As a result of our failure to make required Sub Debt loan payments from June 2012 through September 2014, the Sub Debt lender has certain rights, including step-in rights, which allows it to collect cash generated from the charters until such time as the Sub Debt lender has received all unpaid amounts. The Sub Debt lender has reserved, but not exercised, its rights under the loan agreement.
	On March 31, 2014, we satisfied the Senior Debt obligations in connection with the two aframax tankers by making a final payment of approximately $5,680,000. This satisfaction cured any default related to these vessels associated with the Senior Debt. On April 14, 2014 and May 21, 2014, the two aframax tankers, the Eagle Otome and the Eagle Subaru, were sold and the proceeds were used to partially pay down the outstanding principal and interest related to the Sub Debt. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Sub Debt balance was $11,085,095 and $19,753,619, respectively. At September 30, 2014, $3,997,128 was included in restricted cash.
	We restructured the non-recourse long-term debt associated with a crude oil tanker, the Center, and the non-recourse long-term debt associated with two supramax bulk carrier vessels, the Amazing and the Fantastic, on March 19, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively, to amend the repayment stream and financial covenants. The interest rates and maturity dates remain the same for the loans. Effective September 29, 2014, the interest rate for the non-recourse long-term debt associated with the Amazing and the Fantastic was fixed at LIBOR plus 3.85% as part of the original agreement. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants related to this non-recourse long-term debt.
	As a result of the partial prepayment by Cenveo, on July 7, 2014 we partially paid down our non-recourse long-term debt with NXT Capital, LLC (“NXT”) secured by our interest in the secured term loan to and collateral from Cenveo by making a payment of approximately $575,000.

	We entered into an agreement with California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) for a revolving line of credit through March 31, 2015 of up to $15,000,000 (the “Facility”), which is secured by all of our assets not subject to a first priority lien. Amounts available under the Facility are subject to a borrowing base that is determined, subject to certain limitations, by the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which we have a beneficial interest. At September 30, 2014, we had $7,404,522 available under the Facility pursuant to the borrowing base.
	The interest rate for general advances under the Facility is CB&T’s prime rate.  We may elect to designate up to five advances on the outstanding principal balance of the Facility to bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% per year.  In all instances, borrowings under the Facility are subject to an interest rate floor of 4.0% per year. In addition, we are obligated to pay an annualized 0.5% fee on unused commitments under the Facility. At September 30, 2014, there were no obligations outstanding under the Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Facility.

(10) Derivative Financial Instruments

We may enter into derivative financial instruments for purposes of hedging specific financial exposures, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates on our non-recourse long-term debt. We enter into these instruments only for hedging underlying exposures. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, except for warrants, which are not hedges. Certain derivatives may not meet the established criteria to be designated as qualifying accounting hedges, even though we believe that these are effective economic hedges.

We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless certain criteria are met. These criteria demonstrate that the derivative is expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value or expected cash flows of the underlying exposure at both the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis and include an evaluation of the counterparty risk and the impact, if any, on the effectiveness of the derivative. If these criteria are met, which we must document and assess at inception and on an ongoing basis, we recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion of all derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings.

U.S. GAAP and relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements permit a reporting entity that is a party to a master netting agreement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments that have been offset under the same master netting agreement. We elected to present the fair value of derivative contracts on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable non-recourse debt. Our strategy to accomplish these objectives is to match the projected future cash flows with the underlying debt service. Each interest rate swap involves the receipt of floating-rate interest payments from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Counterparty Risk

We manage exposure to possible defaults on derivative financial instruments by monitoring the concentration of risk that we have with any individual bank and through the use of minimum credit quality standards for all counterparties. We do not require collateral or other security in relation to derivative financial instruments. Since it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with banks of internationally acknowledged standing and the fair value of our derivatives is in a liability position, we consider the counterparty risk to be remote.

As of September 30, 2014, we no longer had any warrants on the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, we had only warrants in an asset position that were not material to the consolidated financial statements; therefore, we consider the counterparty risk to be remote.

Credit Risk

Derivative contracts may contain credit-risk related contingent features that can trigger a termination event, such as maintaining specified financial ratios. In the event that we would be required to settle our obligations under the derivative contracts as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the termination value would be $5,465,012 and $6,466,750, respectively.

Non-designated Derivatives

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had three and five interest rate swaps, respectively, with DVB Bank SE that are not designated and not qualifying as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $112,245,000 and $127,175,000, respectively. Additionally, we held warrants for purposes other than hedging. On July 21, 2014, we exercised all of such warrants for cash consideration. All changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are, and the warrants were, recorded directly in earnings, which is included in (gain) loss on derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification within our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	(11) Fair Value Measurements
	Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	●	Level 1:	Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
	●	Level 2:	Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
	●	Level 3:	Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market data.
	Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
	Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our Investment Manager’s assessment, on our behalf, of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
	The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:
				Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
		Liabilities:
			Interest rate swaps	$	-		$	5,226,994		$	-		$	5,226,994

			Warrants	$	-		$	-		$	60,525		$	60,525
		Liabilities:
			Interest rate swaps	$	-		$	6,281,705		$	-		$	6,281,705
	Our derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and warrants, are valued using models based on readily observable or unobservable market parameters for all substantial terms of our derivative financial instruments and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use market prices and pricing models for fair value measurements of our derivative financial instruments.
	Interest Rate Swaps
	We utilize a model that incorporates common market pricing methods as well as underlying characteristics of the particular swap contract. Interest rate swaps are modeled by incorporating such inputs as the term to maturity, LIBOR swap curves, Overnight Index Swap curves and the payment rate on the fixed portion of the interest rate swap. Such inputs are classified within Level 2. Thereafter, we compare third party quotations received to our own estimate of fair value to evaluate for reasonableness. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was recorded in derivative financial instruments within the consolidated balance sheets.
	Warrants
	As of December 31, 2013, our warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on observable and unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and are classified within Level 3. Unobservable inputs used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility and the expected period until the warrants are exercised. Increases or decreases of these inputs would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. On July 21, 2014, we exercised the warrants and received net cash proceeds of $14,208, which resulted in a loss of $43,126.
	The fair value of the warrants was recorded in other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. The realized and unrealized loss or gain on the change in fair value of the warrants was recorded in (gain) loss on derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
	We are required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value or provide valuation allowances for certain assets using fair value measurements. The valuation of our financial assets, such as notes receivable or direct financing leases, is included below only when fair value has been measured and recorded based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The following table summarizes the valuation of our material financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, of which the fair value information presented is not current but rather as of the date the impairment was recorded, and the carrying value of the asset as of September 30, 2014:

		Net investment in note receivable	$	-		$	-		$	-		$	3,502,050		$	862,131
	Our collateral dependent note receivable was valued using the agreed upon sales price. The sales price was a quoted price in an inactive market, which was supported by little or no market data as of the reporting date and therefore classified as Level 3.
	Assets and Liabilities for which Fair Value is Disclosed
	Certain of our financial assets and liabilities, which include fixed-rate notes receivable, fixed-rate non-recourse long-term debt and other liabilities, for which fair value is required to be disclosed, were valued using inputs that are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market data and are therefore classified within Level 3. Under U.S. GAAP, we use projected cash flows for fair value measurements of these financial assets and liabilities. Fair value information with respect to certain of our other assets and liabilities is not separately provided since (i) U.S. GAAP does 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 our fixed-rate notes receivable, fixed-rate non-recourse long-term debt and other liabilities was based on the discounted value of future cash flows related to the loans based on recent transactions of this type. Principal outstanding on fixed-rate notes receivable was discounted at rates ranging between 10% and 15.5% per year. Principal outstanding on fixed-rate non-recourse long-term debt and other liabilities was discounted at rates ranging between 5.04% and 12% per year.

	(12) Commitments and Contingencies
	At the time we acquire or divest of our 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 of ours that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.
	At September 30, 2014, we had non-recourse and other debt obligations. Each lender has a security interest in the majority of the assets collateralizing each non-recourse debt instrument and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease associated with the assets. If the lessee defaults on the lease, the assets could be returned to the lender in extinguishment of the non-recourse debt. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our outstanding non-recourse long-term indebtedness was $155,480,328 and $185,275,365, respectively.

	On November 3, 2014, we filed a petition in the District Court of Dallas, Texas against Frontier Oilfield Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Frontier”) to obtain repayment of the outstanding note receivable as a result of Frontier’s breach of the terms of the loan agreement entered into in July 2012. Our Investment Manager believes the outstanding note receivable and accrued interest due from Frontier as of September 30, 2014 is fully recoverable based on the underlying collateral value. As a result, no credit loss was deemed necessary for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	On November 13, 2014, we and Fund Twelve entered into a senior secured term loan credit facility agreement with NARL Marketing Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “NARL”) to provide a credit facility of up to $15,000,000, of which our commitment of $3,000,000 was funded on such date. The facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 10.75% and is for a period of three years. The facility is secured by a first priority security interest in retail and wholesale fuel equipment, including pumps and storage tanks, and a mortgage on certain real properties.

Credit Quality of Notes Receivable	'
	Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Finance Leases and Credit Loss Reserve
	Our Investment Manager weighs all credit decisions based on a combination of external credit ratings as well as internal credit evaluations of all borrowers. A borrower’s credit is analyzed using those credit ratings as well as the borrower’s financial statements and other financial data deemed relevant.
	As our financing receivables, generally notes receivable and finance leases, are limited in number, our Investment Manager is able to estimate the credit loss reserve based on a detailed analysis of each financing receivable as opposed to using portfolio-based metrics. Financing receivables are analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or non-performing based on payment history. If a financing receivable becomes non-performing due to a borrower’s missed scheduled payments or failed financial covenants, our Investment Manager analyzes whether a credit loss reserve should be established or whether the financing receivable should be restructured. Material events would be specifically disclosed in the discussion of each financing receivable held.
	Financing receivables are generally placed in a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, our Investment Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days and based upon our Investment Manager’s judgment, these accounts may be placed in a non-accrual status.
	In accordance with the cost recovery method, payments received on non-accrual financing receivables are applied to principal if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of principal. If collection of the principal of non-accrual financing receivables is not in doubt, interest income is recognized on a cash basis. Financing receivables in non-accrual status may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent payments have been received, and we believe recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable.
	When our Investment Manager deems it is probable that we will not be able to collect all contractual principal and interest on a non-performing financing receivable, we perform an analysis to determine if a credit loss reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the financing receivable, or the collateral value of the asset underlying the financing receivable when financing receivable repayment is collateral dependent. If it is determined that the impaired value of the non-performing financing receivable is less than the net carrying value, we will recognize a credit loss reserve or adjust the existing credit loss reserve with a corresponding charge to earnings. We then charge off a financing receivable in the period that it is deemed uncollectible by reducing the credit loss reserve and the balance of the financing receivable.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	'
	Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 our General Partner, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), requiring revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 becomes effective for us on our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and all subsequent annual and interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
