Purpose of Liquidating Trust

ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven Liquidating Trust, a Delaware Statutory Trust, was formed on July 12, 2007 (the “Liquidating Trust”).  The Liquidating Trust is governed by a Liquidating Trust Agreement that appointed ICON Capital Corp. as managing trustee of the Liquidating Trust (the “Managing Trustee”). The Liquidating Trust’s one asset is an investment in North Sea (Connecticut) Limited Partnership (“North Sea”), which entitles the Liquidating Trust to receive proceeds from litigation regarding the Rowan Halifax mobile offshore jack-up drilling rig, if and when received.  This asset was transferred to the Liquidating Trust from ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven (“Fund Seven”).  In order to reduce the expenses incurred by Fund Seven and to maximize potential distributions to investors, Fund Seven transferred all of its remaining assets and liabilities to the Liquidating Trust.  As there is no equity in a Liquidating Trust, no statements of changes in members’ equity are presented. As of July 12, 2007, all general and limited partnership interests in Fund Seven were exchanged for an equal number of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Liquidating Trust have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).  The financial statements include the accounts of the Liquidating Trust.

The Liquidating Trust accounts for its noncontrolling interests in joint ventures where the Liquidating Trust has influence over financial and operational matters, generally 50% or less ownership interest, under the equity method of accounting. In such cases, the Liquidating Trust’s original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for its share of earnings, losses and distributions.

Cash

The Liquidating Trust's cash is held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed insured limits. The Liquidating Trust has placed these funds in a high quality institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.

Income Taxes

The Liquidating Trust is taxed as a partnership for federal and State income tax purposes.  No provision for income taxes has been recorded since the liability for such taxes is that of each of the individual beneficiaries rather than the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trust's income tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and State taxing authorities, and changes, if any, could adjust the individual income tax of the beneficiaries.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2009, the Liquidating Trust adopted the accounting pronouncement regarding the general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the statement of net assets date but before the financial statements are issued. This pronouncement was effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the Liquidating Trust’s financial statements.

In 2009, the Liquidating Trust adopted Accounting Standards Codification 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which establishes the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), which supersedes all existing accounting standard documents and is the single source of authoritative non-governmental US GAAP.  All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered non-authoritative.  This accounting standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Codification did not change or alter existing US GAAP and it did not result in a change in accounting practices for the Liquidating Trust upon adoption.  The Liquidating Trust has conformed its financial statements and related notes to the new Codification for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Investment in Limited Partnership

North Sea (Connecticut) Limited Partnership

Fund Seven entered into a limited partnership agreement with North Sea, pursuant to which Fund Seven acquired 100% of the Class C limited partnership interest in North Sea, thereby giving Fund Seven a 50% equity interest in North Sea. The original purchase price for the Class C limited partnership interest was approximately $14,726,000, consisting of approximately $12,325,000 in cash and approximately $2,401,000 of non-recourse debt.  North Sea exercised its option to acquire an interest in a drilling rig from its owner, which drilling rig had previously been acquired from, and simultaneously leased back to, the operator.

The lease was financed on a non-recourse basis with a bank and a portion of the loan proceeds was used to pay for the exercise price of the option, with the excess loan proceeds of $20,002,567 distributed to the partners (Fund Seven received a $10,001,284 distribution, which represented Fund Seven’s original 50% share). The other partner in North Sea is not affiliated with Fund Seven, the Liquidating Trust or the Managing Trustee.

The Liquidating Trust currently has a right in and to 87.65% of the profits, losses and cash flows from its Class C limited partnership interest in North Sea, an entity that owns a 100% interest in a mobile offshore drilling rig that is subject to lease with Rowan Companies, Inc. (the “Charterer”). During November 2004 and February 2005, Fund Seven assigned 6.64% and 5.71%, respectively, of its rights in and to the profits, losses and cash flows from its Class C limited partnership interest to several of its affiliates as repayment under the terms of a contribution agreement Fund Seven entered into with such affiliates in connection with the line of credit it had with Comerica Bank.

The Charterer had entered into a charter with the owner trustee of the drilling rig, which had a semi-annual charter hire of approximately $2,600,000 during the fixed rate renewal term, which was scheduled to expire on March 15, 2008.

On October 5, 2005, the Charterer notified the owner trustee of the rig that an “Event of Loss” occurred with respect to the rig in September 2005 as a result of Hurricane Rita. The charter provides that the Charterer will pay to the lender (and upon satisfaction of all of the debt outstanding, to the owner trustee on behalf of North Sea) an amount equal to the “Stipulated Loss Value” of the rig. The “Stipulated Loss Value” for the rig will be determined according to the terms of the charter. The “Stipulated Loss Value” is defined in the charter as the sum of (i) the charter hire payment payable on the first charter hire payment date following an “Event of Loss,” (ii) the present value of the remaining charter hire payments due and (iii) the present value of the estimated residual value of the rig at the end of the charter, as determined by the appraisal procedure under the charter. Prior to North Sea initiating the appraisal procedure on November 29, 2005, the Charterer commenced a declaratory judgment action in Texas State Court requesting that the court declare, among other things, that “Stipulated Loss Value” should be determined by “the value estimated in advance” of the renewal term of the charter, which amount was never documented or agreed by the parties. North Sea immediately filed a counterclaim against the Charterer to, among other things, have the charter enforced in accordance with its terms, and the owner trustee of the rig initiated the appraisal procedure required under the charter. The appraisal procedure has been completed and it was determined that the “Stipulated Loss Value” of the rig at the end of the charter was $80,235,317. Thus, Fund Seven’s portion of that amount would be $26,310,159, calculated as follows: $80,235,317, minus the $20,200,727 that the Charterer has paid to date, or $60,034,590, times 43.825% − Fund Seven’s interest in the rig.

On or about May 22, 2006, the Charterer paid (i) the March 2006 charter hire payment and (ii) the component of the “Stipulated Loss Value” of the rig represented by the present value of the remaining charter hire payments due to the lender, which amounts were used to fully satisfy the outstanding non−recourse debt on the rig. On May 31, 2006, Fund Seven received a distribution of $3,944,250 with respect to its limited partnership interest in North Sea. The distribution represented Fund Seven’s portion of the $10,941,943 in net insurance proceeds that the Charterer agreed to distribute to North Sea with respect to the rig. The insurance proceeds received by North Sea represent neither the full amount of the insurance proceeds nor the final amount of the “Stipulated Loss Value” of the rig that North Sea expects to receive in accordance with the terms of the charter.

 On September 1, 2006, the Charterer and North Sea each filed motions for complete summary judgment.  Oral argument on the motions occurred on November 7, 2006.  On January 24, 2007, the Texas State Court issued a preliminary order granting all of North Sea’s summary judgment motions and denying all of the Charterer’s summary judgment motions. In addition, the Court ordered the Charterer to pay North Sea the approximately $60 million plus interest thereon that North Sea claimed as its damages.  On March 7, 2007, the Texas State Court issued its final judgment and an order of severance and consolidation with respect to the parties’ summary judgment motions.  In its final judgment, the Texas State Court (i) granted all of North Sea’s summary judgment motions that support the Court’s related order for the Charterer to pay North Sea the approximately $60 million plus interest thereon that North Sea claimed as its damages, as well as $500,000 in attorneys’ fees, (ii) denied all of North Sea’s other summary judgment motions, except for those that were severed pursuant to the order of severance and consolidation, and (iii) denied all of the Charterer’s summary judgment motions.

 The Charterer appealed the Texas State Court’s judgment and filed its appeals brief on November 7, 2007.  North Sea’s appeals brief was filed on March 3, 2008.  The Texas Court of Appeals held a hearing on the appeal on May 1, 2008.  On March 31, 2009, by a two to one decision of the appellate panel, the Court of Appeals rendered its decision to reverse the Texas State Court’s decision.  On February 4, 2010, the Texas Court of Appeals denied North Sea’s motions for rehearing and reconsideration.  We and the other North Sea partners strongly disagree with the decision of the appellate panel and continue to believe our interpretation of the charter agreement with the Charterer and the Texas State Court’s decision are both correct.  To that end, North Sea filed a petition to review the Court of Appeals decision in the Texas Supreme Court on March 22, 2010.
 
We and the other North Sea partners are working vigorously to have the Court of Appeals’ decision reconsidered and, if necessary, overturned as soon as practicable.  While it is not possible at this stage to determine the likelihood of the outcome, we and the other North Sea partners believe that the Texas State Court’s decision is correct and we are working with the other North Sea partners to vigorously pursue our claims and defend the Court’s decision.  Although the Court initially ruled in North Sea’s favor, the final outcome of any appeal is uncertain. The appeals process may span several more years, during which time the Liquidating Trust expects to incur additional expenses and legal fees.  If the Texas State Court’s decision is ultimately reversed on appeal, the matter could be remanded to the Texas State Court and could proceed to trial, which would further delay a resolution of the dispute.  A trial would require the Liquidating Trust and the other North Sea partners to devote significant resources, including substantial time and money, to the pursuit of North Sea’s claims.  There is no certainty that a trial will result in a favorable verdict.  If the Charterer prevails on appeal, it is anticipated that such a verdict would have a material adverse effect on the cash available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009, as well as the financial statements for our Managing Trustee, our Managing Trustee carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our Managing Trustee, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Managing Trustee’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 Managing Trustee’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Controls and Procedures - continued
 
In designing and evaluating our Managing Trustee’s disclosure controls and procedures, our Managing Trustee 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 Managing Trustee’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.  

Our Managing Trustee’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have determined that no weakness in disclosure controls and procedures had any material effect on the accuracy and completeness of our financial reporting and disclosure included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting

Our Managing Trustee is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Liquidating Trust; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Liquidating Trust are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Liquidating Trust; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Liquidating Trust's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our Managing Trustee assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework.”

Based on its assessment, our Managing Trustee believes that, as of December 31, 2009, its internal control over financial reporting is effective.
