ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC
(A Delaware Limited Liability Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2016
(unaudited)
 


(1) Organization
ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC (the “LLC”) was formed on October 3, 2006 as a Delaware limited liability company. When used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms refer to the LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We operated as an equipment leasing and finance program in which the capital our members invested was pooled together to make investments, pay fees and establish a small reserve.  We primarily acquired equipment subject to lease, purchased equipment and leased it to third-party end users or financed equipment for third parties and, to a lesser degree, acquired ownership rights to items of leased equipment at lease expiration.
Our manager is ICON Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”).  Our Manager manages and controls our business affairs, including, but not limited to, our equipment leases and other financing transactions, pursuant to the terms of our limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”).
Our operating period ended on April 30, 2014. On May 1, 2014, we commenced our liquidation period, during which we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business.
(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 Manager, 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, 2015. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 
Restricted Cash
Cash that is restricted from use in operations is generally classified as restricted cash. Classification of changes in restricted cash within the consolidated statements of cash flows depends on the predominant source of the related cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the predominant cash generated from restricted cash was related to rental income receipts associated with our leasing operations. The use of this cash was restricted pursuant to a provision in the non-recourse long-term debt agreement. Restricted cash is presented within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As a result, these changes in restricted cash were classified within net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Finance Leases and Credit Loss Reserve
Our Manager monitors the ongoing credit quality of our financing receivables by (i) reviewing and analyzing a borrower’s financial performance on a regular basis, including review of financial statements received on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis as prescribed in the loan or lease agreement, (ii) tracking the relevant credit metrics of each financing receivable and a borrower’s compliance with financial and non-financial covenants, (iii) monitoring a borrower’s payment history and public credit rating, if available, and (iv) assessing our exposure based on the current investment mix. As part of the monitoring process, our Manager may physically inspect the collateral or a borrower’s facility and meet with a borrower’s management to better understand such borrower’s financial performance and its future plans on an as-needed basis. 
As our financing receivables, generally notes receivable and finance leases, are limited in number, our 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. Our Manager does not use a system of assigning internal risk ratings to each of our financing receivables. Rather, each financing receivable is analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or non-performing based on certain factors including, but not limited to, financial results, satisfying scheduled payments and compliance with financial covenants. A financing receivable is usually categorized as non-performing only when a borrower experiences financial difficulties and has failed to make scheduled payments. Our Manager then analyzes whether the financing receivable should be placed on a non-accrual status, a credit loss reserve should be established or the financing receivable should be restructured. As part of the assessment, updated collateral value is usually considered and such collateral value can be based on a third party industry expert appraisal or, depending on the type of collateral and accessibility to relevant published guides or market sales data, internally derived fair value. Material events would be specifically disclosed in the discussion of each financing receivable held.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2016

Financing receivables are generally placed on a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, our Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days and based upon our Manager’s judgment, these accounts may be placed on 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 on 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 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, and/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. 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”), which simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items.  We adopted ASU 2015-01 on January 1, 2016, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. 
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation – Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the consolidation analysis by reducing the frequency of application of related party guidance and excluding certain fees in the primary beneficiary determination. We adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. 
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 as of March 31, 2016. Consequently, we reclassified $610,405 of debt issuance costs from other non-current assets to non-recourse long-term debt, less current portion on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015, which resulted in the following adjustments:

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, FASB issued 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. This new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers implementation of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Under such deferral, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, but not before our original effective date of January 1, 2017. 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 after 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.
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which provides guidance related to accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 implements changes to lessor accounting focused on conforming with certain changes made to lessee accounting and the recently released revenue recognition guidance. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting (“ASU 2016-07”), which eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. ASU 2016-07 requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for equity method accounting. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.   
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of credit losses by eliminating the probable initial recognition threshold set forth in current guidance, and instead reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity will apply the amendments within ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. An entity will apply the amendments within ASU 2016-15 using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements.

(3)  Net Investment in Notes Receivable
As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no net investment in notes receivable on non-accrual status.
As of September 30, 2016, our net investment in note receivable and accrued interest related to four affiliates of Técnicas Maritimas Avanzadas, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, “TMA”) totaled $21,002,939 and $5,013,933, respectively, of which an aggregate of $6,940,740 was over 90 days past due. As of December 31, 2015, our net investment in note receivable and accrued interest related to TMA totaled $21,002,939 and $2,767,269, respectively, of which an aggregate of $3,137,479 was over 90 days past due. TMA is in technical default due to its failure to cause all four platform supply vessels to be under contract by March 31, 2015 and in payment default while available cash has been swept by the senior lender and applied to the senior tranche of the facility (the “Senior Loan”) in accordance with the secured term loan credit facility agreement. Interest on our tranche of the facility (the “ICON Loan”) is currently being capitalized. While our note receivable has not been paid in accordance with

the secured term loan credit facility agreement, our collateral position has been strengthened as the principal balance of the Senior Loan was paid down at a faster rate. Based on, among other things, TMA’s payment history and estimated collateral value as of September 30, 2016, our Manager continues to believe that all contractual interest and outstanding principal payments under the ICON Loan are collectible. As a result, we continue to account for our net investment in note receivable related to TMA on an accrual basis despite a portion of the outstanding balance being over 90 days past due. In January 2016, the remaining two previously unchartered vessels had commenced employment. As a result, our Manager is currently engaged in discussions with the senior lender and TMA to amend the facility.
As of September 30, 2016, our net investment in note receivable and accrued interest related to Lubricating Specialties Company (“LSC”) totaled $2,643,060 and $207,287, respectively, of which an aggregate of $101,086 was over 90 days past due. As of December 31, 2015, our net investment in note receivable and accrued interest related to LSC totaled $2,668,887 and $89,010, respectively, of which no amount was past due.  Our Manager engaged in discussions with LSC management during which it was advised that the liquidity constraints being experienced by LSC is temporary.  In addition, LSC management acknowledged its outstanding debt obligations under the loan and the commencement of default interest accruing on such outstanding debt pursuant to the loan agreement. Based on, among other things, the value of the collateral, our Manager continues to believe that all contractual interest and outstanding principal payments are collectible. As a result, we continue to account for our net investment in note receivable related to LSC on an accrual basis despite a portion of the outstanding balance being over 90 days past due.

On March 24, 2009, we and Swiber Engineering Ltd. (“Swiber”) entered into a joint venture owned 51% by us and 49% by Swiber for the purpose of purchasing a 300-man accommodation and work barge, the Swiber Chateau (f/k/a the Swiber Victorious). Simultaneously with the purchase, the barge was chartered to Swiber Offshore Marine Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Swiber (“Swiber Offshore”), for 96 months. The Swiber Chateau was purchased for $42,500,000, which was funded by (i) a $19,125,000 equity investment from us, (ii) an $18,375,000 contribution-in-kind by Swiber and (iii) a $5,000,000 subordinated, non-recourse and unsecured payable from Swiber. The payable bears interest at 3.5% per year and is recorded within seller’s credits on our consolidated balance sheets.  If a default occurs under the charter, the joint venture will not be required to pay to Swiber principal and interest outstanding under the payable.  Swiber Holdings Ltd. (“Swiber Holdings”), the parent company of Swiber and Swiber Offshore (together with Swiber and Swiber Offshore, the “Swiber Group”), guarantees the payment and performance obligations of Swiber Offshore and its affiliates under all transaction documents. 
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we obtained a third-party appraisal indicating that the fair market value of the vessel as of June 27, 2016 was $17,875,000, which was below the net carrying value. As a result, we performed an impairment test on the vessel. Based on such test, we recorded an impairment loss of $5,218,643 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the joint venture’s operating agreement, in the event that, among other things, (i) there is a default by Swiber Offshore under the charter, or (ii) the fair market value of the vessel is less than $21,000,000, all of Swiber’s interests in the distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds resulting from the joint venture will be subordinate to our rights in such distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds until such time that we have received in distribution the return of the full amount of our contribution to the joint venture and a return at a monthly compounded rate equal to 15.51% per year.  As the then current fair market value of the vessel was less than $21,000,000, our Manager concluded that, commencing June 27, 2016, Swiber’s rights to the distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds are subordinated and Swiber should incur first loss resulting from the joint venture until we achieve our return described above. Accordingly, the impairment loss recorded

as of June 30, 2016 of $5,218,643 was allocated entirely to Swiber, the non-controlling interest holder. As a result, the impairment had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Swiber Offshore has also failed to make its monthly charter payments to the joint venture since July 2016. 
On July 27, 2016, Swiber Holdings filed a petition in Singapore to wind up and liquidate the company. On July 29, 2016, Swiber Holdings withdrew its petition for winding up and liquidation and submitted an application for court-supervised judicial management. We are currently in the process of evaluating our rights and remedies under all relevant Singapore judicial management and insolvency laws.
In November 2016, we obtained an updated third-party appraisal indicating that the fair market value of the vessel decreased to $14,770,000, which was below the net carrying value. As a result, we recorded an additional impairment loss of $3,105,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which was allocated entirely to Swiber. The impairment loss had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(6) Vessels/Assets Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2015, our total investment in vessels was $5,720,000. As of June 30, 2016, the Cebu Trader (f/k/a the Arabian Express) and the Aegean Express met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale resulting in a reclassification from vessels to assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. No further depreciation was recorded on the vessels upon such reclassification. In September 2016, the Cebu Trader and the Aegean Express were sold to unaffiliated third parties for $3,200,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. As a result, we recorded an aggregate gain on sale of $303,943 during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Depreciation expense was $0 and $177,387 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Depreciation expense was $428,849 and $1,286,548 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, pre-tax loss associated with the vessels was $155,631 and $167,052, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, pre-tax loss associated with the vessels was $10,649,053 and $10,965,220, respectively.

(7) Investment in Joint Ventures
On December 22, 2011, ICON Mauritius MI, LLC (“ICON Mauritius MI”), a joint venture owned 25% by us and 75% by ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. (“Fund Fourteen”), an entity also managed by our Manager, made a $20,124,000 subordinated term loan to Jurong Aromatics Corporation Pte. Ltd. (“JAC”) as part of a $171,050,000 term loan facility. The loan initially bore interest at rates ranging between 12.5% and 15% per year and matures in January 2021. As a result of JAC’s failure to make an expected payment that was due to the joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the interest rate payable by JAC under the loan increased from 12.5% to 15.5%. The loan is secured by a second priority security interest in all of JAC’s assets, which include, among other things, all equipment, plant and machinery associated with a condensate splitter and aromatics complex.
On May 15, 2013, ICON Mauritius MI II, LLC (“ICON Mauritius MI II”), a joint venture owned 21% by us, 39% by ICON Leasing Fund Eleven, LLC (“Fund Eleven”) and 40% by ICON ECI Fund Fifteen, L.P., each an entity also managed by our Manager, purchased a portion of a $208,038,290 subordinated credit facility for JAC from Standard Chartered Bank for $28,462,500. The subordinated credit facility initially bore interest at rates ranging between 12.5% and 15% per year and matures in January 2021. As a result of JAC’s failure to make an expected payment that was due to the joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the interest rate payable by JAC under the facility increased from 12.5% to 15.5%. The subordinated credit facility is secured by a second priority security interest in all of JAC’s assets, which include, among other things, all equipment, plant and machinery associated with a condensate splitter and aromatics complex. Our initial contribution to the joint venture was $6,456,034
During 2015, JAC experienced liquidity constraints as a result of a general economic slow-down in China and India, which led to lower demand from such countries, as well as the price decline of energy and other commodities. As a result, JAC’s manufacturing facility ceased operations and JAC was not able to service interest payments under the loan and facility. In addition, an expected tolling arrangement with JAC’s suppliers that would have allowed JAC’s manufacturing facility to resume operations did not commence in 2015 as originally anticipated. Discussions among the senior lenders and certain other stakeholders of JAC regarding a restructuring plan ended as the senior lenders did not agree to amendments to their credit facilities as part of the broader restructuring that was being contemplated. As a result, JAC entered receivership on September 28, 2015.

As a result of these factors, during the three months ended June 30, 2015, our Manager determined that there was doubt regarding the joint ventures’ ultimate collectability of the loan and facility and commenced recording credit losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the joint ventures recorded a total credit loss of $33,264,710, of which our share was $7,834,118. Commencing with the three months ended June 30, 2015 and on a quarterly basis thereafter, our Manager had reassessed the collectability of the loan and facility by considering the following factors, among others (i) what a potential buyer may be willing to pay to acquire JAC based on a comparable enterprise value derived from EBITDA multiples and (ii) the average trading price of unsecured distressed debt in comparable industries. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the joint ventures recorded an aggregate credit loss of $60,258,883 related to JAC based on our Manager’s quarterly collectability analyses, of which our share was $14,010,881. Our Manager also assessed impairment under the equity method of accounting for our investment in the joint ventures and concluded that there was no impairment.
In January 2016, our Manager engaged in further discussions with JAC’s other subordinated lenders and the Receiver regarding a near term plan for JAC’s manufacturing facility. Based upon such discussions, our Manager anticipated that a one-year tolling arrangement with JAC’s suppliers would be implemented to allow JAC’s facility to recommence operations. In July 2016, the tolling arrangement was finally implemented and the manufacturing facility resumed operations. Although our Manager believes that the marketability of JAC’s facility should improve now that it has recommenced operations, our Manager does not anticipate that JAC will make any payments to the joint ventures while operating under the tolling arrangement. As part of the tolling arrangement and the receivership process, JAC incurred additional senior debt, which could be up to $55,000,000, to fund its operations as well as any receivership-related costs. As a result, our Manager determined that the joint ventures’ ultimate collectability of the loan and facility was further in doubt. As of June 30, 2016, our Manager updated its quarterly assessment by considering (i) a comparable enterprise value derived from EBITDA multiples; (ii) the average trading price of unsecured distressed debt in comparable industries and (iii) the additional senior debt incurred by JAC, which has priority over the joint ventures’ loan and facility. Based upon this reassessment, our Manager determined that the joint ventures should fully reserve the outstanding balance of the loan and facility due from JAC as of June 30, 2016. As a result, the joint ventures recorded an additional total credit loss of $10,137,863 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, of which our share was $2,319,835Our Manager continues to closely monitor the operations of JAC and the receivership process through regular communications with certain other stakeholders. The joint ventures did not recognize finance income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the joint ventures recognized finance income of $0 and $2,314,051, respectively, prior to the loan and facility being considered impaired. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total net investment in notes receivable held by the joint ventures was $0 and $10,137,863, respectively, and our total investment in the joint ventures was $0 and $2,324,885, respectively.

All of our non-recourse long-term debt obligations consist of notes payable in which the lender has a security interest in the underlying assets. If the borrower were to default on the underlying lease, resulting in our default on the non-recourse long-term debt, the assets could be foreclosed upon and the proceeds would be remitted to the lender in extinguishment of that debt. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total carrying value of assets subject to non-recourse long-term debt was $81,896,820 and $87,131,546, respectively.
 On October 20, 2016, we were notified of an event of default on the senior debt associated with two tanker vessels currently on charter to an affiliate of Siva Global Ships Limited (“Siva”) as a result of a change of control of the bareboat charter guarantor, also an affiliate of Siva. The lender has reserved, but not exercised, its rights under the loan agreement. As a result of such default, we classified the entire outstanding balance of the debt of $19,015,000 to current liabilities as of September 30, 2016.
 
(9) Transactions with Related Parties 
We paid distributions to our Manager of $131,976 and $52,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We paid distributions to our Manager of $232,986 and $229,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, our Manager’s interest in the net income (loss) attributable to us was $10,808 and $(123,094) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our Manager’s interest in the net income (loss) attributable to us was $28,115 and $(206,006) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Fees and other expenses incurred by us to our Manager or its affiliates were as follows:

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a net payable due to our Manager and affiliates of $10,378 and $437,925, respectively, primarily related to administrative expense reimbursements. 
In June 2016, we sold our interests in a certain joint venture to an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the sale, the third party required that an affiliate of our Manager provides bookkeeping and administrative services related to such asset for a fee.

(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 are supported by little or no market data.

Assets 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. Our non-financial assets, such as leased equipment at cost and vessels, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. To determine the fair value when impairment indicators exist, we utilize different valuation approaches based on transaction-specific facts and circumstances to determine fair value, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models and the use of comparable transactions.
The following table summarizes the valuation of our material non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which is presented as of the date the impairment was recorded, while the carrying value of the asset is presented as of September 30, 2016:

(1) There were nonrecurring fair value measurements in relation to the impairment loss as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 related to the Swiber Chateau. As of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the fair value was $17,875,000 and $14,770,000, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we identified impairment indicators and measured our leased equipment at cost related to the Swiber Chateau for impairment purposes. The estimated fair value of such leased equipment at cost at June 30, 2016 was based on an independent third-party valuation using a combination of the cost and sales comparison approach. The estimated fair value of such leased equipment at cost at September 30, 2016 was based on an updated independent third-party valuation using a cost approach. The estimated fair values related to the Swiber Chateau were based on inputs that are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market data and were classified within 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 seller’s credits, 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 and liabilities, other than lease-related investments, approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate notes receivable was based on the discounted value of future cash flows related to the loans at inception, adjusted for changes in certain variables, including, but not limited to, credit quality, industry, financial markets and other recent comparables. The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate non-recourse long-term debt and seller’s credits was based on the discounted value of future cash flows related to the debt and seller’s credits based on a discount rate derived from the margin at inception, adjusted for material changes in risk, plus the applicable fixed rate based on the current interest rate curve. The fair value of the principal outstanding on our fixed-rate notes receivable was derived using discount rates ranging between 17.73% and 25.00% as of September 30, 2016. The fair value of the principal outstanding on our fixed-rate non-recourse long-term debt and seller’s credits was derived using discount rates ranging between 1.37% and 6.72% as of September 30, 2016.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies
At the time we acquire or divest of our interest in an equipment lease or other financing transaction, we may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities. Our Manager believes that any liability of ours that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations may or may not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. 
In connection with certain debt obligations, we are required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks. At September 30, 2016, we had restricted cash of $3,078,161, which is presented within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
During 2008, ICON EAR, LLC (“ICON EAR”), a joint venture owned 55% by us and 45% by Fund Eleven, purchased and simultaneously leased semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Equipment Acquisition Resources, Inc. (“EAR”) for $15,729,500. On October 23, 2009, EAR filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On October 21, 2011, the Chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee for EAR filed an adversary complaint against ICON EAR seeking the recovery of the lease payments that the trustee alleged were fraudulently transferred from EAR to ICON EAR. The complaint also sought the recovery of payments made by EAR to ICON EAR during the 90-day period preceding EAR’s bankruptcy filing, alleging that those payments constituted a preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, the complaint sought the imposition of a constructive trust over certain real property and the proceeds from the sale that ICON EAR received as security in connection with its investment. Our Manager filed an answer to the complaint that included certain affirmative defenses. Since that time, substantial discovery was completed. Given the risks, costs and uncertainty surrounding litigation in bankruptcy, our Manager engaged in mediation with the trustee to resolve this matter, which resulted in a tentative settlement in May 2016 subject to bankruptcy court approval. On July 5, 2016, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement. The settlement released all claims against ICON EAR, Fund Eleven and us for an aggregate settlement payment of $3,100,000. As a result, we recorded our proportionate share of the litigation settlement expense of $1,209,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The settlement amount was paid on July 15, 2016.

Item 2. Manager’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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 Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC 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,” “would,” “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. They are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors outside of 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 operated as an equipment leasing and finance program in which the capital our members invested was pooled together to make investments, pay fees and establish a small reserve. We primarily acquired equipment subject to lease, purchased equipment and leased it to third-party end users or financed equipment for third parties and, to a lesser degree, acquired ownership rights to items of leased equipment at lease expiration.  Some of our equipment leases were acquired for cash and were expected to provide current cash flow, which we refer to as “income” leases.  For our other equipment leases, we financed the majority of the purchase price through borrowings from third parties.  We refer to these leases as “growth” leases.  These growth leases generated little or no current cash flow because substantially all of the rental payments we received from the lessee were used to service the indebtedness associated with acquiring or financing the lease.  For these leases, we anticipated that the future value of the leased equipment would exceed our cash portion of the purchase price. 
Our Manager manages and controls our business affairs, including, but not limited to, our equipment leases and other financing transactions, under the terms of our LLC Agreement.
Our offering period ended on April 30, 2009 and our operating period commenced on May 1, 2009. During our offering period, we raised total equity of $347,686,947. Our operating period ended on April 30, 2014 and our liquidation period commenced on May 1, 2014. During our liquidation period, we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business.
Recent Significant Transactions
We engaged in the following significant transactions since December 31, 2015:
Trucks and Trailers
On January 14, 2016, D&T satisfied its remaining lease obligations by making a prepayment of $8,000,000. In addition, D&T exercised its option to repurchase all assets under the lease for $1, upon which title was transferred. As a result of the prepayment, we recognized finance income of approximately $1,400,000.
Marine Vessels
On March 24, 2009, we and Swiber entered into a joint venture owned 51% by us and 49% by Swiber for the purpose of purchasing the Swiber Chateau. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we obtained a third-party appraisal indicating that the fair market value of the vessel as of June 27, 2016 was $17,875,000, which was below the net carrying value. As a result, we performed an impairment test on the vessel. Based on such test, we recorded an impairment loss of $5,218,643 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the joint venture’s operating agreement, in the event that, among other things, (i) there is a default by Swiber Offshore under the charter, or (ii) the fair market value of the vessel is less than $21,000,000, all of Swiber’s interests in the distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds resulting from the joint venture will be subordinate to our rights in such distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds until such time that we have received
in distribution the return of the full amount of our contribution to the joint venture and a return at a monthly compounded rate equal to 15.51% per year.  As the then current fair market value of the vessel was less than $21,000,000, our Manager concluded that, commencing June 27, 2016, Swiber’s rights to the distributions, net cash flow, net profits and net proceeds are subordinated and Swiber should incur first loss resulting from the joint venture until we achieve our return described above. Accordingly, the impairment loss recorded as of June 30, 2016 of $5,218,643 was allocated entirely to Swiber, the non-controlling interest holder. As a result, the impairment had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Swiber Offshore has also failed to make its monthly charter payments to the joint venture since July 2016.
On July 27, 2016, Swiber Holdings filed a petition in Singapore to wind up and liquidate the company. On July 29, 2016, Swiber Holdings withdrew its petition for winding up and liquidation and submitted an application for court-supervised judicial management. We are currently in the process of evaluating our rights and remedies under all relevant Singapore judicial management and insolvency laws.
In November 2016, we obtained an updated third-party appraisal indicating that the fair market value of the vessel decreased to $14,770,000, which was below the net carrying value. As a result, we recorded an additional impairment loss of $3,105,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which was allocated entirely to Swiber. The impairment loss had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.
On June 8, 2016, an unaffiliated third party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON AET, a joint venture owned 25% by us, for net sales proceeds of $48,798,058. As a result, we recorded a gain on sale of investment in joint venture of $2,012,669.
Vessels
In September 2016, the Cebu Trader and the Aegean Express were sold to unaffiliated third parties for $3,200,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. As a result, we recorded an aggregate gain on sale of $303,943 during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Notes Receivable
In connection with our investment in joint ventures related to JAC, in January 2016, our Manager engaged in further discussions with JAC’s other subordinated lenders and the Receiver regarding a near term plan for JAC’s manufacturing facility. Based upon such discussions, our Manager anticipated that a one-year tolling arrangement with JAC’s suppliers would be implemented to allow JAC’s facility to recommence operations. In July 2016, the tolling arrangement was finally implemented and the manufacturing facility resumed operations. Although our Manager believes that the marketability of JAC’s facility should improve now that it has recommenced operations, our Manager does not anticipate that JAC will make any payments to the joint ventures while operating under the tolling arrangement. As part of the tolling arrangement and the receivership process, JAC incurred additional senior debt, which could be up to $55,000,000, to fund its operations as well as any receivership-related costs. As a result, our Manager determined that the joint ventures’ ultimate collectability of the loan and facility was further in doubt. As of June 30, 2016, our Manager updated its quarterly assessment by considering (i) a comparable enterprise value derived from EBITDA multiples; (ii) the average trading price of unsecured distressed debt in comparable industries and (iii) the additional senior debt incurred by JAC, which has priority over the joint ventures’ loan and facility. Based upon this reassessment, our Manager determined that the joint ventures should fully reserve the outstanding balance of the loan and facility due from JAC as of June 30, 2016. As a result, the joint ventures recorded an additional total credit loss of $10,137,863 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, of which our share was $2,319,835Our Manager continues to closely monitor the operations of JAC and the receivership process through regular communications with certain other stakeholders. The joint ventures did not recognize finance income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the joint ventures recognized finance income of $0 and $2,314,051, respectively, prior to the loan and facility being considered impaired. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total net investment in notes receivable held by the joint ventures was $0 and $10,137,863, respectively, and our total investment in the joint ventures was $0 and $2,324,885, respectively. 
On August 9, 2016, Premier Trailer satisfied its obligations in connection with a secured term loan scheduled to mature on September 24, 2020 by making a prepayment of $10,327,777, comprised of all outstanding principal, accrued interest and a prepayment fee of $200,000. The prepayment fee was recognized as additional finance income.

Impaired Leased Asset within Operating Lease Transactions
In November 2016, we obtained an updated third-party appraisal indicating that the fair market value of the Swiber Chateau was $14,770,000, which was below the net carrying value. As a result, we recorded an additional impairment loss of $3,105,000 during the 2016 Quarter, which was allocated entirely to Swiber. The impairment loss had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the 2016 Quarter. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net carrying value of the vessel was $14,770,000 and $24,528,856, respectively. During the 2016 Quarter and the 2015 Quarter, we recognized rental income of $0 and $1,826,250, respectively (see “Recent Significant Transactions” above).

Total revenue and other income for the 2016 Quarter increased $837,513, or 18.1%, as compared to the 2015 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in loss from investment in joint ventures due to no credit loss recorded during the 2016 Quarter as compared to the credit loss recorded during the 2015 Quarter by our joint ventures related to JAC and a gain on sale of vessels as a result of the sale of the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader during the 2016 Quarter. The increase was partially offset by decreases in (i) rental income due to no income recognition related to Swiber Offshore as collectability of monthly charter payments has been in doubt since July 2016, (ii) finance income primarily due to several prepayments by our borrowers and lessees during or subsequent to the 2015 Quarter and (iii) time charter revenue due to lower charter rates during the 2016 Quarter as compared to the 2015 Quarter.

Total expenses for the 2016 Quarter decreased $8,734,648, or 54.8%, as compared to the 2015 Quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the impairment loss related to the Swiber Chateau that was allocated entirely to Swiber during the 2016 Quarter

as compared to the impairment loss recorded during the 2015 Quarter related to the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader, which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation due to a lower depreciable base.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests changed by $3,818,027, from net income of $996,098 in the 2015 Quarter to a net loss of $2,821,929 in the 2016 Quarter. The change was primarily due to no income being recognized related to Swiber during the 2016 Quarter.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Fund Twelve
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income (loss) attributable to us for the 2016 Quarter and the 2015 Quarter was $1,080,789 and $(12,309,399), respectively. Net income (loss) attributable to us per weighted average additional share of limited liability company interests (“Share”) outstanding for the 2016 Quarter and the 2015 Quarter was $3.07 and $(34.98), respectively.

Non-performing Assets within Financing Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2014, VAS experienced financial hardship resulting in its failure to make the final monthly payment under the secured term loan as well as the balloon payment due on the October 6, 2014 maturity date. Accordingly, the loan was placed on non-accrual status and a credit loss was recorded. In March 2015, the 90-day standstill period provided for in the VAS loan agreement ended without a viable restructuring or refinancing plan agreed upon. In addition, the senior lender continued to charge VAS forbearance fees. Although discussions among the parties were still ongoing, these factors resulted in our Manager making a determination to record an additional credit loss reserve of $362,665 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to reflect a potential forced liquidation of the collateral. The forced liquidation value of the collateral was primarily based on a third-party appraisal using a sales comparison approach. On July 23, 2015, we sold all of our interest in the loan to GB for $268,975. As a result, we recorded an additional credit loss of $334,719 and wrote off the credit loss reserve and corresponding balance of the loan of $1,329,370 during the 2015 Period. No finance income was recognized since the date the loan was considered impaired during the three months ended December 31, 2014. Accordingly, no finance income was recognized for the 2015 Period.
On May 12, 2015, Patriot Coal commenced a voluntary Chapter 11 proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. On July 24, 2015, Patriot Coal notified us that it was terminating the lease prior to its August 1, 2015 expiration date and that it would not be making the balloon payment of $4,866,000 due at the end of the lease term. After extensive negotiations, we agreed with Patriot Coal to extend the term of the lease by one month and to reduce the balloon payment to $700,000, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. As a result, the finance lease was placed on non-accrual status and a credit loss of $4,151,594 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2015. After obtaining the bankruptcy

19


court’s approval, our bankruptcy claim against Patriot Coal was strengthened from an unsecured to an administrative claim. In August 2015, title to the leased equipment was transferred to Patriot Coal upon our receipt of the additional lease payment and the reduced balloon payment. No gain or loss was recognized during the 2015 Period as a result of the sale of leased equipment. For the 2015 Period, we recognized finance income of $159,694.

Impaired Leased Assets within Operating Lease Transactions
During 2016, we obtained third-party appraisals and estimated the fair market values of the Swiber Chateau as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 to be $17,875,000 and $14,770,000, respectively, which were below the net carrying values. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment loss of $8,323,643 during the 2016 Period, which was allocated entirely to Swiber. The impairment loss had no impact on the net income attributable to us for the 2016 Period. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net carrying value of the vessel was $14,770,000 and $24,528,856, respectively. During the 2016 Period and the 2015 Period, we recognized rental income of $3,652,500 and $5,478,750, respectively (see “Recent Significant Transactions” above).
During the 2015 Period, we recognized an aggregate impairment loss of $10,440,129 on our vessels related to the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader. As of September 30, 2015, our Manager performed an impairment analysis and concluded that the carrying value of the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader was not recoverable and that an impairment existed. As of December 31, 2015, the net carrying value of such vessels was $5,720,000. In September 2016, the vessels were sold to unaffiliated third parties for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000, which resulted in an aggregate gain on sale of $303,943 during the 2016 Quarter. During the 2016 Period and the 2015 Period, we recognized time charter revenue of $2,960,443 and $4,184,849, respectively (see "Recent Significant Transactions" above).

Total revenue and other income for the 2016 Period increased $5,633,477, or 37.2%, as compared to the 2015 Period. The increase was primarily due to (i) a decrease in loss from investment in joint ventures due to a lower credit loss recorded by the joint ventures related to JAC during the 2016 Period as compared to the 2015 Period, (ii) a gain on sale of investment in joint venture as a result of the sale of our interests in ICON AET during the 2016 Period and (iii) a gain on sale of vessels as a result of the sale of the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader during the 2016 Period. The increase was partially offset by decreases in (i) finance income primarily due to several prepayments by our borrowers and lessees during the 2015 Period, (ii) rental income due to no income recognition related to Swiber Offshore as collectability of monthly charter payments has been in doubt since July 2016 and (iii) time charter revenue due to lower charter rates during the 2016 Period as compared to the 2015 Period

Total expenses for the 2016 Period decreased $9,015,880, or 27.6%, as compared to the 2015 Period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in (i) the credit loss related to Patriot Coal that was recorded during the 2015 Period, of which there was no corresponding loss recorded during the 2016 Period, (ii) impairment loss due to the impairment loss recorded in the 2016 Period related to the Swiber Chateau that was allocated entirely to Swiber as compared to the impairment loss recorded during the 2015 Period related to the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader, (iii) depreciation on the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader after impairment losses were recorded during 2015, which resulted in a lower depreciable base and (iv) interest expense as a result of scheduled repayments on our non-recourse long-term debt, and satisfying our non-recourse long-term debt related to Cenveo Corporation ("Cenveo") resulting from its prepayment during the 2015 Period. These decreases were partially offset by our share of the litigation settlement payment related to ICON EAR that was recorded in the 2016 Period.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests changed by $8,762,672, from net income of $3,106,286 in the 2015 Period to a net loss of $5,656,386 in the 2016 Period. The change was primarily due to the allocation of the entire impairment loss related to the Swiber Chateau to Swiber during the 2016 Period.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Fund Twelve
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income (loss) attributable to us for the 2016 Period and the 2015 Period was $2,811,457 and $(20,600,572), respectively. Net income (loss) attributable to us per weighted average additional Share outstanding for the 2016 Period and the 2015 Period was $7.99 and $(58.55), respectively.

Financial Condition 
This section discusses the major balance sheet variances at September 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015.
Total Assets
Total assets decreased $38,089,102, from $188,181,529 at December 31, 2015 to $150,092,427 at September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the use of cash to pay distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests, (ii) the use of cash to repay our non-recourse long-term debt and (iii) the impairment loss related to the Swiber Chateau during the 2016 Period. These decreases were partially offset by gains recognized from the sale of certain of our investments and income generated from our investments during the 2016 Period.
Current Assets
Current assets increased $13,306,939, from $22,423,057 at December 31, 2015 to $35,729,996 at September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of proceeds received from the prepayment by Premier Trailer and from the sale of certain non-current investments during the 2016 Period. 
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities decreased $5,167,310, from $62,493,259 at December 31, 2015 to $57,325,949 at September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of our non-recourse long-term debt and the payment of certain accrued liabilities during the 2016 Period.

21


Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased $20,966,174, from $8,362,050 at December 31, 2015 to $29,328,224 at September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the event of default on the senior debt related to Siva, which resulted in the reclassification of the outstanding balance to current liabilities, and the seller’s credit that is due to Swiber in March 2017.
Equity
Equity decreased $32,921,792, from $125,688,270 at December 31, 2015 to $92,766,478 at September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests during the 2016 Period, partially offset by our net income during the 2016 Period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 
Summary
At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17,810,643 and $8,404,092, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of our offering, we established a cash reserve in the amount of 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds.  As of September 30, 2016, the cash reserve was $1,738,435. During our liquidation period, which commenced on May 1, 2014, we expect our main sources of cash will be from the collection of income and principal on our notes receivable and finance leases and proceeds from the sale of assets held directly by us or indirectly by our joint ventures and our main use of cash will be for distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests. 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 meet our debt obligations, pay distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests and to the extent that expenses exceed cash flows from operations and proceeds from the sale of our investments.
We anticipate being able to meet our liquidity requirements into the foreseeable future through the expected results of our operations, as well as cash received from our investments at maturity. However, 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.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $614,550, from $16,632,965 in the 2015 Period to $16,018,415 in the 2016 Period. The decrease was primarily due to less cash receipts from operations in the 2016 Period as compared to the 2015 Period, partially offset by less cash being used to settle the amount due to our Manager during the 2016 Period as a result of a reduction in expenses paid on our behalf by our Manager since 2014 and an increase in the collection on finance leases as a result of the prepayment by D&T.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities increased $2,801,147, from $25,362,399 in the 2015 Period to $28,163,546 in the 2016 Period. The increase was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of our interests in ICON AET and from the sale of the Aegean Express and the Cebu Trader during the 2016 Period, partially offset by a decrease in principal received on notes receivable due to several prepayments during the 2015 Period.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased $3,591,228, from $38,366,638 in the 2015 Period to $34,775,410 in the 2016 Period. The decrease was primarily due to the prepayment on our non-recourse long-term debt associated with Cenveo during the 2015 Period as a result of the prepayment of a secured term loan by Cenveo, partially offset by an increase in distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests during the 2016 Period as compared to the 2015 Period.
Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt
We had non-recourse long-term debt obligations at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $42,857,167 and $47,439,115, respectively. All of our non-recourse long-term debt obligations consist of notes payable in which the lender has a security interest in the underlying assets. If the borrower were to default on the underlying lease, resulting in our default on the non-recourse long-term debt, the assets could be foreclosed upon and the proceeds would be remitted to the lender in extinguishment of that debt. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total carrying value of assets subject to non-recourse long-term debt was $81,896,820 and $87,131,546, respectively.
At September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with the covenants related to our non-recourse long-term debt.
Distributions

22


We, at our Manager’s discretion, paid monthly distributions to each of our additional members beginning with the first month after each such member’s admission through the end of our operating period, which was April 30, 2014. We paid distributions of $232,986, $23,065,617 and $6,778,260 to our Manager, additional members and noncontrolling interests, respectively, during the 2016 Period. During our liquidation period, we have paid and will continue to pay distributions in accordance with the terms our LLC Agreement. We expect that distributions paid during our liquidation period will vary, depending on the timing of the sale of our assets and/or the maturity of our investments, and our receipt of rental, finance and other income from our investments.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
Commitments and Contingencies
At the time we acquire or divest of our interest in an equipment lease or other financing transaction, we may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities. Our Manager believes that any liability of ours that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations may or may not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.
In connection with certain debt obligations, we are required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks. At September 30, 2016, we had restricted cash of $3,078,161, which is presented within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
During 2008, ICON EAR purchased and simultaneously leased semiconductor manufacturing equipment to EAR for $15,729,500. On October 23, 2009, EAR filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On October 21, 2011, the Chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee for EAR filed an adversary complaint against ICON EAR seeking the recovery of the lease payments that the trustee alleged were fraudulently transferred from EAR to ICON EAR. The complaint also sought the recovery of payments made by EAR to ICON EAR during the 90-day period preceding EAR’s bankruptcy filing, alleging that those payments constituted a preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, the complaint sought the imposition of a constructive trust over certain real property and the proceeds from the sale that ICON EAR received as security in connection with its investment. Our Manager filed an answer to the complaint that included certain affirmative defenses. Since that time, substantial discovery was completed. Given the risks, costs and uncertainty surrounding litigation in bankruptcy, our Manager engaged in mediation with the trustee to resolve this matter, which resulted in a tentative settlement in May 2016 subject to bankruptcy court approval. On July 5, 2016, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement. The settlement released all claims against ICON EAR, Fund Eleven and us for an aggregate settlement payment of $3,100,000. As a result, we recorded our proportionate share of the litigation settlement expense of $1,209,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The settlement amount was paid on July 15, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

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, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2016, our Manager carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our Manager, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Manager’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 Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In designing and evaluating our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures, our Manager 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 Manager’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, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
