Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(unaudited)

 
(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 the general partner, 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” or 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 are required for the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of these additional disclosures did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes Receivable

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 and the notes bear interest at 15% per year 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.

Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Investment Manager weighs all credit decisions based 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.

Notes Receivable – continued
 
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 September 30, 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.

On June 21, 2011, the Partnership borrowed $44,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of a crude oil tanker. The loan is for a period of five years and bears interest at 3.500% per year through September 21, 2011 and is thereafter fixed at 5.235% per year through maturity pursuant to a swap agreement.

As of September 30, 2011, the Partnership had capitalized net debt financing costs of $4,577,156. The Partnership recognized interest expense from the amortization of debt financing costs of $273,820 and $463,409 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The aggregate maturities of non-recourse long-term debt over the next five years and thereafter were as follows at September 30, 2011:

Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse
 
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, based on the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which the Partnership has a beneficial interest. At September 30, 2011, the Partnership had $15,000,000 available under the Facility.
 
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. At September 30, 2011, there were no obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Partnership may enter into derivative transactions for purposes of hedging specific financial exposures, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates on its non-recourse long-term debt. The Partnership enters into these instruments only for hedging underlying exposures. The Partnership does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging. Certain derivatives may not meet the established criteria to be designated as qualifying accounting hedges, even though the Partnership believes that these are effective economic hedges.

Derivative Financial Instruments – continued
 
The Partnership recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. The Partnership recognizes the fair value of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless certain accounting criteria established by the accounting pronouncements 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 the Partnership must document and assess at inception and on an ongoing basis, the Partnership recognizes 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.

Non-designated Derivatives

As of September 30, 2011, the Partnership had five interest rate swaps that are not designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $165,215,000.  These interest rate swaps are not speculative and are used to meet the Partnership’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Partnership’s strategy to accomplish this objective is to match the projected future cash flows with the underlying debt service. Each interest rate swap involves the receipt of floating rate payments from a counterparty in exchange for the Partnership making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The table below presents the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification within the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Derivative Financial Instruments – continued
 
Derivative Risks

The Partnership manages exposure to possible defaults on derivative financial instruments by monitoring the concentration of risk that the Partnership has with any individual bank and through the use of minimum credit quality standards for all counterparties. The Partnership does not require collateral or other security in relation to derivative financial instruments. Since it is the Partnership’s policy to enter into derivative contracts with banks of internationally acknowledged standing only, the Partnership considers the counterparty risk to be remote.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position was $10,874,580. In the event that the Partnership would be required to settle its obligations under the derivative contracts as of September 30, 2011, the termination value would be $11,867,257.
 
(10)
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 cannot be corroborated by 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. The Investment Manager’s assessment, on the Partnership’s 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 the Partnership’s material financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:

Fair Value Measurements – continued

The Partnership’s derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps, are valued using models based on readily observable or unobservable market parameters for all substantial terms of the Partnership’s derivative contracts and are classified within Level 2. As permitted by the accounting pronouncements, the Partnership uses market prices and pricing models for fair value measurements of its derivative instruments. The fair value of the derivative liabilities was recorded in derivative instruments within the consolidated balance sheets.

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, 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.

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 of the Partnership 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 September 30, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”).  These statements are being made pursuant to the PSLRA, with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the PSLRA, and, other than as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or supplement such statements.  Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact.  They include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events.  You can identify these statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “further,” “plan,” “seek,” “intend,” “predict” or “project” and variations of these words or comparable words or phrases of similar meaning.  These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs and expectations with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors outside our control that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  We undertake no obligation to update publicly or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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.  During our offering period, from May 18, 2009 to May 18, 2011, we raised $257,646,987. Our operating period commenced on May 19, 2011. We invest a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of our limited partnership interests (“Interests”) 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 during our five-year operating period, which 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 our 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 eight other public equipment leasing and finance funds.

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 lease schedule is for a period of thirty six months commencing 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 increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the equipment acquired under the four operating leases that we entered into during 2011. Management fees have increased due to our increased transaction volume.

Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the 2011 Quarter increased $1,093,820 from net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the 2010 Quarter.  The increase was primarily due to the net loss relating to Fund Twelve’s investment in the AET Vessels.

The increase primarily related to the net cash proceeds received from the sale of our Interests and investments by noncontrolling interests, which were offset by distributions paid to our partners.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $65,627,807 and $64,317,006, respectively.  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.  As of September 30, 2011, the cash reserve was $1,288,235.  Since the commencement of our offering period, our main source of cash has been from financing activities and our main use of cash has been in investing activities. During our operating period, our main source of cash will be from operating activities and our main use of cash will be in investing and financing activities. Our liquidity will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from investments and proceeds from the sale of our investments exceed expenses and decreasing as we make new investments, pay distributions to our partners and to the extent that expenses exceed cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the sale of our investments.

We believe that cash generated from 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, a revolving line of credit of $15,000,000 is 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.

We are using the net proceeds of our 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 June 19, 2009, the “Commencement of Operations,” through May 18, 2011, we sold 258,897 Interests, representing $257,646,987 of capital contributions.  We admitted 7,010 limited partners.  For the period from the Commencement of Operations through May 18, 2011, we have paid or accrued sales commissions to third parties of $17,201,964 and underwriting commissions to ICON Securities Corp. d/b/a ICON Investments of $7,445,754.  In addition, organization and offering expenses of $2,926,110 were paid or incurred by us, our General Partner or its affiliates during this period.

Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities increased $9,187,601, from $7,609,523 in the 2010 Period to $16,797,124 in the 2011 Period.  The increase was primarily due to the receipt of cash from 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 Period.
 
 

Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities increased $5,527,209, from $74,906,789 in the 2010 Period to $80,433,998 in the 2011 Period. The increase was primarily due to the increased volume of investments offset by repayments of notes receivable and distributions received from joint ventures in excess of profits during the 2011 Period.

Financing Activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities decreased $12,106,551, from $77,054,226 in the 2010 Period to $64,947,675 in the 2011 Period. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net cash proceeds received from the sale of our Interests as a result of the completion of our offering period during the 2011 Period. There was also an increase in distributions to partners and noncontrolling interests and repayments of non-recourse long-term debt offset by proceeds from non-recourse long-term debt and investments by noncontrolling interests.

Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt

We had non-recourse long-term debt obligations at September 30, 2011 of $226,188,849. 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 $139,500, $13,810,584 and $5,855,813 to our General Partner, limited partners and noncontrolling interests, respectively, during the 2011 Period.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 Principal Accounting and 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 Principal Accounting and 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 September 30, 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.


We did not sell or repurchase any Interests during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
