Letter from the CEOs                                                                                                                      As of April 20, 2011


Dear investor in ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P.:

We write to briefly summarize our activity for the year ended 2010.  A more detailed analysis, which we encourage you to read, is contained in our Form 10-K.  Our Form 10-K and our other annual, quarterly and current reports are available in the Investor Relations section of our Investment Manager’s website, www.iconinvestments.com.

Fund Fourteen’s offering period commenced on May 18, 2009.  Fund Fourteen raised $191,973,454 in capital contributions through December 31, 2010.  As of December 31st, we had invested $110,374,7921 of capital, or 64.97% of capital available for investment, in business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure.  We invested $77,387,510 in total equity over the 20102 calendar year.  Further, our distribution coverage ratio3 for the 2010 calendar year was approximately 202.10%.  As of December 31st, Fund Fourteen maintained a leverage ratio of 0.29:14. Fund Fourteen collected 100%5 of all scheduled receivables due for the fourth quarter of 2010.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we continued to actively manage our investments by working with our borrowers to help them accomplish their business goals while at the same time aiming to achieve our economic return on these investments.  During the quarter, we restructured the payment obligations under our loan with Northern Capital Associates XVIII, L.P., Northern Capital Associates XV, L.P., and Northern Capital Associates XIV, L.P., affiliates of Northern Leasing Systems, Inc., and extended the term through September 15, 2014.  In connection with the amendment, we received an amendment fee in the amount of $12,500.

We believe that there will be many opportunities for us to continue to deploy our equity in well structured deals collateralized by business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure.

We invite you to read through our portfolio overview on the pages that follow for a more detailed explanation of the above described investments.  As always, thank you for entrusting ICON with your investment assets.

Sincerely,

2010 Annual Portfolio Overview

 
We are pleased to present ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P.’s (the “Fund”) Annual Portfolio Overview for 2010.  References to “we,” “us,” and “our” are references to the Fund, references to the “General Partner” are references to the general partner of the Fund, ICON GP 14, LLC, and references to the “Investment Manager” are references to the investment manager of the Fund, ICON Capital Corp.
 
The Fund
 
Our offering period commenced on May 18, 2009 and is anticipated to end no later than May 2011.  From our initial offering through December 31, 2010, we raised $191,973,454 in capital contributions.
 
During the 2010 calendar year, we were in our offering period, during which time we raise capital through the sale of our limited partnership interests and also invest in business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure.  Cash generated from these investments is used to make distributions to our limited partners.  Availability of cash to be used for reinvestment depends on the requirements for expenses, reserves, and distributions to limited partners.
 
At the close of our offering period, we will enter our operating period, during which time we anticipate continuing to invest our offering proceeds and cash generated from operations.  Our operating period is anticipated to continue for a period of five years from the closing of the offering, unless extended at our General Partner’s sole discretion.  Following our operating period, we will enter our liquidation period, during which time the leases and loans we own will mature or be sold in the ordinary course of business.
