ICON ECI Fund Sixteen

As of December 1, 2015

Introduction to Annual Portfolio Overview

We are pleased to present ICON ECI Fund Sixteen's (the "Fund") Portfolio Overview for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. References to "we," "us," and "our" are references to the Fund, references to the "Managing Owner" are references to the managing owner of the Fund, ICON MT 16, LLC, and references to the "Investment Manager" are references to the investment manager of the Fund, ICON Capital, LLC.

The Fund primarily makes investments in, or that are collateralized by, equipment and other corporate infrastructure (collectively, "Capital Assets"). The investments are in companies that utilize Capital Assets to operate their businesses. These investments are primarily structured as debt and debt-like financings such as loans, leases and other structured financing transactions in, or that are collateralized by, Capital Assets.

The Fund's offering period commenced on July 1, 2013 and ended on December 31, 2014. Our Managing Owner determined to cease the offering period earlier than originally anticipated as a result of lower than expected offering proceeds being raised. As of November 12, 2013, we raised a minimum of $1,200,000 from the sale of our Class A shares and Class I shares, at which time shareholders were admitted and we commenced operations. As of June 13, 2014, we raised the $12,500,000 minimum offering amount for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From the commencement of our offering on July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, we sold 17,189 Class A shares and 410 Class I shares, representing an aggregate of $17,469,610 of capital contributions. Our operating period commenced on January 1, 2015. During the operating period, we anticipate continuing to invest our offering proceeds and cash generated from operations in Capital Assets. Following our operating period, we will enter our wind down period, during which time the loans and leases we own will mature or be sold in the ordinary course of business.

*Net carrying value of our investment in joint ventures is calculated as follows: investment at cost plus/less our share of the cumulative net income/loss of the joint venture and less distributions received since the date of our initial investment.

**This investment is through a joint venture that we consolidated and presented on our consolidated balance sheets as net investment in finance lease. Net investment in finance lease is the sum of the remaining minimum lease payments receivable, the estimated residual value of the asset and the unamortized initial direct costs, less unearned income. Net carrying value includes the recognition of an investment by noncontrolling interests for the share of such investment held by the joint venture's noncontrolling interest holders.

***Net carrying value of our investment in note receivable is the sum of the remaining principal outstanding and the unamortized initial direct costs, less deferred fees.

Revolving Line of Credit

On March 31, 2015, we extended our revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000 (the "Facility") with California Bank & Trust ("CB&T") through May 30, 2017. The Facility 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 the Fund has a beneficial interest. 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate 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 June 30, 2015, there were no obligations outstanding under the Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Facility.

Performance Analysis

Capital Invested as of June 30, 2015	$14,462,789
Leverage Ratio	0.03:1*
% of Receivables Collected for the Quarter ended June 30, 2015	100%**

* Leverage ratio is defined as total liabilities divided by total equity.

** Collections as of October 31, 2015.

One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our shareholders. In order to assess our ability to meet this objective, unaffiliated broker dealers, third party due diligence providers and other members of the investing community have requested that we report a financial measure that can be reconciled to our financial statements and can be used to assess our ability to support cash distributions from our business operations. We refer to this financial measure as cash available from our business operations, or CABO. CABO is not equivalent to our net operating income or loss as determined under GAAP. Rather, it is a measure that may be a better financial measure for an equipment fund because it measures cash generated by investments, net of management fees and expenses, during a specific period of time. We define CABO as the net change in cash during the period plus distributions to shareholders and investments made during such period, less the debt proceeds used to make such investments and the activity related to the Facility, as well as the net proceeds from equity raised through the sale of shares during such period.

We believe that CABO may be an appropriate supplemental measure of an equipment fund's performance because it is based on a measurement of cash during a specific period that excludes cash from non-business operations, such as distributions, investments and equity raised.

Presentation of this information is intended to assist unaffiliated broker dealers, third party due diligence providers and other members of the investing community in understanding the Fund's ability to support its distributions from its business operations. It should be noted, however, that no other equipment funds calculate CABO, and therefore comparisons with other equipment funds are not meaningful. CABO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or as an indication of our liquidity. CABO should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of our performance.

Cash Available from Business Operations, or CABO, is the cash generated by investments during a specific period of time, net of fees and expenses, excluding distributions to shareholders, net equity raised and investments made.

Performance Analysis (continued)

As indicated above, the total net change in cash is the aggregate of the net cash flows from Business Operations and the net cash flows from Non-Business Operations. By taking the total net change in cash and removing the cash activity related to Non-Business Operations (distributions, investments and equity raised), the amount remaining is the net cash available from Business Operations (net cash flows generated by investments, net of fees and expenses).

In summary, CABO is calculated as:

Net change in cash during the period per the GAAP cash flow statement

+ distributions to Shareholders during the period

+ investments made during the period

- debt proceeds to be specifically used to make an investment

- net proceeds from the sale of Shares during the period

= CABO

1	Cash available from business operations includes the collection of principal and interest from our investments in notes receivable and finance leases. Distributions paid to shareholders and CABO for the period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 were $856,601 and $2,792,330, respectively.

Transactions with Related Parties

We have entered into certain agreements with our Managing Owner, Investment Manager and CĪON Securities, LLC, formerly known as ICON Securities, LLC ("CĪON Securities"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Investment Manager and the dealer-manager of our offering, whereby we paid or pay certain fees and reimbursements to these parties. We paid or pay CĪON Securities (i) a dealer-manager fee for the Class A shares sold in the offering equal to 2% of gross offering proceeds and (ii) a distribution fee equal to 0.55% of gross offering proceeds from Class I shares sold in the offering for managing the distribution of the Class I shares.

In addition, we reimbursed our Investment Manager and its affiliates for a portion of organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with our organization and offering of our shares. The reimbursement of these expenses was capped at the lesser of 1.44% of the maximum primary offering amount of $241,000,000 and the actual costs and expenses incurred by our Investment Manager and its affiliates.

ICON ECI Fund Sixteen

Transactions with Related Parties (continued)

Through the end of our offering period, our Investment Manager and its affiliates incurred, on our behalf, organization and offering costs of $1,759,237 in accordance with the terms of our Third Amended and Restated Trust Agreement. Of this amount, our Investment Manager and its affiliates sought reimbursement of $239,758. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $0 and $52,144, respectively, of such amount was included in due to Investment Manager and affiliates on our consolidated balance sheets. The decision to pay organization and offering costs on our behalf and the decision to seek reimbursement for such costs was solely at the discretion of our Investment Manager and its affiliates. Accordingly, our Investment Manager and its affiliates have determined not to seek reimbursement for the remaining $1,519,479 of organization and offering costs from us.

We pay our Investment Manager (i) a management fee equal to 3.5% of the gross periodic payments due and paid from our investments and (ii) acquisition fees of 2.5% of the total purchase price (including indebtedness incurred or assumed therewith) of, or the value of the Capital Assets secured by or subject to, each of our investments. For a more detailed analysis of the fees payable to our Investment Manager, please see the Fund's prospectus.

Administrative expense reimbursements are costs incurred by our Investment Manager or its affiliates that are necessary to our operations. These costs include our Investment Manager's and its affiliates' legal, accounting, investor relations and operations personnel, as well as professional fees and other costs that are charged to us. Excluded are salaries and related costs, office rent, travel expenses and other administrative costs incurred by individuals with a controlling interest in our Investment Manager.

Our Managing Owner also has a 1% interest in our profits, losses, distributions and liquidation proceeds, subject to increase based on our investors achieving a preferred return. We paid distributions to our Managing Owner of $3,585 and $7,051 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. We paid or accrued distributions to our Managing Owner of $1,834 and $2,459 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Additionally, our Managing Owner's interest in the net income attributable to us was $837 and $1,076 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
