Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

(unaudited)

(1) Organization

ICON ECI Fund Sixteen (the “Fund”) was formed on October 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust. When used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms refer to the Fund and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a direct financing fund that primarily made investments in or that are collateralized by equipment and other corporate infrastructure (collectively, “Capital Assets”). The investments were in companies that utilize Capital Assets to operate their businesses. These investments were 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 that ICON MT 16, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our managing owner (the “Managing Owner”), believes will provide us with a satisfactory, risk-adjusted rate of return. Our Managing Owner makes investment decisions on our behalf and manages our business.

Our investment objectives are to preserve investors’ capital, provide distributions and provide a favorable total return. To meet our investment objectives, we used the net proceeds from our offering and the cash generated from our investments to originate or acquire a diverse pool of investments described above, as well as other strategic investments collateralized by Capital Assets. ICON Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our affiliate, is our investment manager (the “Investment Manager”). Our Investment Manager originated and services our investments. Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) serves as our sole trustee pursuant to our Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trustee delegated to our Managing Owner all of the power and authority to manage our business and affairs and has only nominal duties and liabilities to us.

Our offering period commenced on July 1, 2013 and ended on December 31, 2014. Our Managing Owner determined to cease our offering period earlier than originally anticipated as a result of lower than expected offering proceeds being raised. We offered to sell to the public any combination of two classes of shares, Class A shares and Class I shares (collectively, the “Shares”), on a “best efforts” basis with the intention of raising up to $250,000,000 of capital, of which $9,000,000 had been reserved for issuance pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”). Other than differing allocable fees and expenses, Class A shares and Class I shares have identical rights and privileges, such as identical voting and distribution rights.

As of November 12, 2013 (the “Initial Closing Date”), we raised a minimum of $1,200,000 from the sale of our 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. Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, we returned the initial capital contribution of $1,000 to CION Investment Group, LLC (the “Initial Shareholder”). From the commencement of our offering on July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, we sold 17,189 Class A shares to 351 Class A shareholders and 410 Class I shares to six Class I shareholders, of which 404 Class A shares and 12 Class I shares were issued pursuant to the DRIP, representing an aggregate of $17,469,610 of capital contributions. From the Initial Closing Date through December 31, 2014, we incurred sales commissions to third parties of $1,198,531 and dealer-manager and distribution fees of $347,547 to CION Securities, LLC, the dealer-manager of our offering and an affiliate of our Investment Manager (“CION Securities”). In addition, organization costs of $8,418 and offering expenses of $161,422 were incurred by us during such period. Organization costs were expensed when incurred and offering expenses were recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

Our operating period commenced on January 1, 2015. On April 24, 2017, we commenced a consent solicitation of our shareholders to further amend and restate our Trust Agreement in order to amend the definition of “operating period” to provide for the ability of our Managing Owner to shorten our operating period in its sole and absolute discretion. The consent solicitation was completed on May 24, 2017 with the requisite consents received from our shareholders. As a result, our Managing Owner ended our operating period on May 31, 2017 and commenced our wind down period on June 1, 2017. During our wind down period, we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business.

On May 30, 2017, our Investment Manager retained ABN AMRO Securities (USA) LLC (“ABN AMRO Securities”) as its financial advisor to assist our Investment Manager and us in identifying, evaluating and executing a potential sale of certain shipping and offshore energy assets included within our investment portfolio. As a result of such identification and

evaluation, on September 7, 2018, an unaffiliated third-party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON Fugro (as defined and discussed in further detail in Note 4).

(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 (the “SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of our Managing Owner, 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, 2017. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Finance Leases and Credit Loss Reserve

Our Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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.

Financing receivables are generally placed on a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, our Investment Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days and based upon our Investment 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 Investment 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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. Since substantially all of our revenue is recognized from our leasing and lending contracts, which are not subject to ASU 2014-09, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an 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. We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01, we are no longer required to make certain disclosures related to the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

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. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. We utilize the cumulative earnings approach under ASU 2016-15 to present distributions received from equity-method investees, which is consistent with our previous policy.

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASU 2016-18”), which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements as we did not have any restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents for the periods presented herein.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business. ASU 2017-01 sets forth requirements to be met for a set to be deemed a business and establishes a practical way to determine when a set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output, and removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. In addition, ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of outputs and aligns such definition with how outputs are described within the revenue guidance. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides an additional transition method by allowing companies to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, ASU 2018-11 provides lessors a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component under certain circumstances. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. As we no longer have any lease arrangements and since we are in our wind down period and not expecting to enter into any new leases in the future, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 will not have an 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 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 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 2018-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

(3) Net Investment in Notes Receivable

As of September 30, 2018, we had net investment in notes receivable on non-accrual status of $1,440,000 and no net investment in notes receivable that was past due 90 days or more and still accruing. See below for further details regarding our note receivable related to Lubricating Specialties Company (“LSC”). As of December 31, 2017, we had no net investment in notes receivable on non-accrual status and no net investment in notes receivable that was past due 90 days or more and still accruing.

Net investment in notes receivable consisted of the following:

Principal outstanding ⁽¹⁾	$	3,060,703		$	3,114,921
Deferred fees	(122,288		)	(147,350		)
Credit loss reserve ⁽²⁾	(978,257		)	—
Net investment in notes receivable ⁽³⁾	$	1,960,158		$	2,967,571

⁽¹⁾ As of September 30, 2018, total principal outstanding related to our impaired loan was $2,535,000.

⁽²⁾As of September 30, 2018, we had a credit loss reserve of $1,076,350 related to LSC, of which $98,093 was reserved against the accrued interest receivable included in other assets and $978,257 was reserved against net investment in notes receivable.

⁽³⁾ As of September 30, 2018, net investment in notes receivable related to our impaired loan was $1,440,000.

On December 30, 2016, we, ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. (“Fund Fourteen”) and ICON ECI Fund Fifteen, L.P. (“Fund Fifteen”), each an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, entered into a secured term loan agreement with LSC to provide a loan in the aggregate amount of $32,500,000, of which our commitment of $2,600,000 was funded on such date. The loan bears interest at LIBOR, subject to a 1% floor, plus 11% per year, and is for a period of four years maturing on December 30, 2020. The loan is secured by a second priority security interest in LSC’s accounts receivable and inventory and a first priority security interest in all of LSC’s other assets. LSC has been experiencing financial difficulties and has failed to make its quarterly in-arrears payments since July 1, 2018. As a result, principal and interest due from LSC are currently more than 90 days past due. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, LSC engaged a chief restructuring officer and we are currently working with LSC and its stakeholders to assess LSC’s financial condition for purposes of formulating a restructuring plan. As part of these discussions, on October 19, 2018, we, LSC and each of its other lenders entered into forbearance agreements under which we agreed to forbear from exercising our rights as a result of LSC’s various defaults under the loan agreement until no later than January 15, 2019 while we, LSC and each of its other stakeholders continue negotiating a restructuring plan. In light of these developments, our Investment Manager determined that there was doubt regarding the collectability of the note receivable. Our Investment Manager assessed the collectability of the note receivable by using a weighted-average of the concluded values from a market approach and an income approach utilizing (i) an enterprise value derived from adjusted EBITDA multiples of certain comparable public companies and of certain targeted/acquired companies and (ii) the value derived from discounted cash flows using company-specific projections and discount rates for companies of similar size and/or risk profiles.

on such assessment, our Investment Manager believed that we may potentially not be able to recover approximately $800,000 to $1,200,000 of the outstanding balance due from LSC as of September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a credit loss of $1,076,350 based on this assessment, which our Investment Manager believed was the best estimate considering information that was then currently available. As we continue our discussions with LSC and its stakeholders regarding a restructuring plan, which may or may not come to fruition, going forward we will adjust the credit loss reserve accordingly based on new developments.

On December 20, 2016, we, Fund Fourteen and Fund Fifteen entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with CFL Momentum Beheer B.V. and C.V. CFL Momentum (collectively, “CFL”) to provide a credit facility of up to $7,400,000, of which our commitment of $592,000 was funded on December 21, 2016. The loan bears interest at 8% per year and we are entitled to an equity participation fee based partly on the fair market value of the vessel upon repayment of the loan. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 21, 2020. The loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in and earnings from a motor cargo vessel. CFL and Industrial Maritime Carriers (Bermuda), Ltd. (“IMC”), the sub-charterer of the vessel, are in default of their respective obligations under the loan documents and the sub-charter, respectively, due to, among other things (i) CFL frequently incurs shortfalls on its quarterly payments to us under the loan agreement resulting in a past due balance of $32,972 as of September 30, 2018; (ii) CFL’s failure to ensure the payment of, and IMC’s failure to pay, all sub-charter payments related to the vessel directly into a designated earnings account since September 2017; (iii) CFL’s failure to maintain a minimum liquidity amount in such designated earnings account; and (iv) CFL’s failure to satisfy its financial reporting requirements under the loan agreement. As a result, on October 5, 2018, we advised CFL that we were accelerating the repayment of all amounts payable under the loan and demanded that CFL and/or its guarantors immediately repay such amounts to us. CFL and/or its guarantors failed to make such payments. On October 22, 2018, we exercised our rights under the loan documents to assume CFL’s obligations under the sub-charter with IMC and to substitute CFL with our designee as the owner of the vessel solely for purposes of the sub-charter. As a result, all sub-charter payments will be paid directly to us going forward to satisfy amounts payable under the loan. Our Investment Manager continues to evaluate additional remedies that are available to us in order to enforce our rights under the loan documents and the sub-charter.

Credit loss allowance activities for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

(4) Investment in Joint Ventures

On March 4, 2014, a joint venture owned 10% by us, 60% by ICON Leasing Fund Twelve Liquidating Trust (formerly, ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC), an entity also managed by our Investment Manager, 15% by Fund Fourteen and 15% by Fund Fifteen, purchased mining equipment from an affiliate of Blackhawk Mining, LLC (“Blackhawk”). Simultaneously, the mining equipment was leased to Blackhawk and its affiliates for four years. The aggregate purchase price for the mining equipment of $25,359,446 was funded by $17,859,446 in cash and $7,500,000 of non-recourse long-term debt. Our contribution to the joint venture was $1,795,597. On July 21, 2017, Blackhawk satisfied its remaining lease obligations by making a prepayment of $7,753,666. As a result, the joint venture recognized finance income of $353,373, of which our share was $35,337.

Information as to the results of operations of this joint venture is summarized as follows:

On December 23, 2015, ICON Fugro Holdings, LLC (“ICON Fugro”), a joint venture owned 10% by us, 75% by Fund Fifteen and 15% by Fund Fourteen, through two indirect subsidiaries, entered into memoranda of agreement to purchase two geotechnical drilling vessels, the Fugro Scout and the Fugro Voyager (collectively, the “Fugro Vessels”), from affiliates of Fugro N.V. (“Fugro”) for an aggregate purchase price of $130,000,000. The aggregate purchase price was funded by the indirect subsidiaries through (i) $16,500,000 in cash; (ii) $91,000,000 in financing through a senior secured loan from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (“ABN AMRO”), Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”) and NIBC Bank N.V. (“NIBC”); and (iii) seller’s credits of $22,500,000. The Fugro Scout and the Fugro Voyager were delivered on December 24, 2015 and January 8, 2016, respectively. The Fugro Vessels were bareboat chartered to affiliates of Fugro for a period of 12 years upon the delivery of each respective vessel, although such charters could have been terminated by the indirect subsidiaries after year five. Our contribution to ICON Fugro was $2,377,250.

In anticipation of a potential breach of a financial covenant by Fugro on December 31, 2017, effective December 29, 2017, the indirect subsidiaries and the affiliates of Fugro amended the bareboat charters on April 6, 2018 to, among other things, amend certain financial covenants, increase the daily charter rate and provide for additional security deposits. As part of the amendment, ICON Fugro received a fee of $55,000, of which our share was $5,500. Effective December 29, 2017, the indirect subsidiaries also amended the facility agreement with ABN AMRO, Rabobank and NIBC on April 6, 2018 to, among other things, increase the interest rate on the senior secured loans to share the economic benefits of the amended bareboat charters.

On September 7, 2018, an unaffiliated third-party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON Fugro for sales proceeds of $27,727,846. As a result, we recorded a gain on sale of investment in joint venture of $302,584 during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

(5) Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse

We had an agreement with California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) for a revolving line of credit through May 30, 2017 of up to $5,000,000 (the “Facility”), which was secured by all of our assets not subject to a first priority lien. Amounts available under the Facility were subject to a borrowing base that was determined, subject to certain limitations, by the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which we had a beneficial interest.

The interest rate for general advances under the Facility was CB&T’s prime rate. We could have elected to designate up to five advances on the outstanding principal balance of the Facility to bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.5% per year. In all instances, borrowings under the Facility were subject to an interest rate floor of 4.0% per year. In addition, we were obligated to pay an annualized 0.5% fee on unused commitments under the Facility. The Facility expired in accordance with its terms on May 30, 2017. There were no obligations outstanding under the Facility on the expiration date.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized interest expense of $0 and $3,603, respectively, related to the amortization of debt financing costs.

(6) Transactions with Related Parties

We have entered into certain agreements with our Investment Manager and CION Securities whereby we paid or pay certain fees and reimbursements to these parties. We paid CION Securities (i) a dealer-manager fee for Class A shares sold in the offering equal to 2% of gross offering proceeds from sales of such Class A shares for managing the offering and to reimburse the dealer-manager for wholesaling fees and expenses 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. We were obligated to pay the distribution fee with respect to the Class I shares sold in the offering until the earlier to occur of: (i) total distribution fees paid with respect to the Class I shares following the completion of the offering equaling 10% of the gross proceeds received with respect to the issuance of such shares from the primary portion of the offering or (ii) our entry into our wind down period. We commenced our wind down period on June 1, 2017. As a result, we are no longer obligated to pay distribution fees to CION Securities as of such date. No dealer-manager or distribution fees were paid on any Shares sold pursuant to the DRIP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid previously accrued distribution fees of $509 and $1,018, respectively.

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. In addition, our Investment Manager and its affiliates were reimbursed for a portion of the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with our organization and offering of Shares and will be reimbursed for administrative expenses incurred in connection with our operations. The reimbursement of organization and offering 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. Through the end of our offering period, our Investment Manager and its affiliates incurred organization and offering expenses of $1,759,237 on our behalf, of which our Investment Manager and its affiliates determined only to seek reimbursement of $239,758.

We paid our Investment Manager (i) a management fee of up to 3.50% of the gross periodic payments due and paid from our investments and (ii) acquisition fees of up to 2.50% 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. Effective July 1, 2016, our Investment Manager reduced its management fee by 50% (up to 1.75% of the gross periodic payments due and paid from our investments). Effective December 1, 2017, our Investment Manager waived all future management fees.

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.

We did not pay distributions to our Managing Owner for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. We paid distributions to our Managing Owner of $21,212 and $602 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, our Managing Owner’s interest in the net loss attributable to us was $8,858 and $5,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our Managing Owner's interest in the net loss attributable to us was $7,961 and $5,906 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Fees and other expenses incurred by us to our Investment Manager or its affiliates were as follows:



			Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
Entity	Capacity	Description	2018		2017		2018		2017
ICON Capital, LLC	Investment Manager	Management fees⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	15,835	$	—	$	54,822

(1) Amount charged directly to operations.

At September 30, 2018, we had a net payable of $18,528 due to our Investment Manager and affiliates that primarily consisted of administrative expense reimbursements of $18,428. At December 31, 2017, we had a net payable of $64,397 due to our Investment Manager and affiliates that primarily consisted of administrative expense reimbursements of $65,906.

(7) 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 for which Fair Value is Disclosed

Our fixed-rate note receivable, for which fair value is required to be disclosed, was valued using inputs that are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market data and are therefore classified within Level 3. 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 and/or variable interest rates.



	September 30, 2018
	Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 3)
Principal outstanding on fixed-rate note receivable	$	525,703	$	515,170

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

At the time we acquire or divest of our interest in Capital Assets, we may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities. Our Managing Owner 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.

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, 2017. This discussion should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures below regarding “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a direct financing fund that primarily made investments in domestic and international businesses, which investments were 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 utilized by such companies to operate their businesses, as well as other strategic investments in or collateralized by Capital Assets that our Managing Owner believes will provide us with a satisfactory, risk-adjusted rate of return. We were formed as a Delaware statutory trust and are treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

Our offering period commenced on July 1, 2013 and ended on December 31, 2014. Our Managing Owner determined to cease our offering period earlier than originally anticipated as a result of lower than expected offering proceeds being raised. As of the Initial Closing Date, we raised a minimum of $1,200,000 from the sale of our 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. Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, we returned the initial capital contribution of $1,000 to the Initial Shareholder. From the commencement of our offering on July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, we sold 17,189 Class A shares to 351 Class A shareholders and 410 Class I shares to six Class I shareholders, of which 404 Class A shares and 12 Class I shares were issued pursuant to the DRIP, representing an aggregate of $17,469,610 of capital contributions. From the Initial Closing Date through December 31, 2014, we incurred sales commissions to third parties of $1,198,531 and dealer-manager and distribution fees to CION Securities of $347,547. In addition, organization costs of $8,418 and offering expenses of $161,422 were incurred by us during such period.

Our operating period commenced on January 1, 2015. After the net offering proceeds were invested, we reinvested the cash generated from our initial investments to the extent that cash was not used for our expenses, reserves and distributions to our shareholders. On April 24, 2017, we commenced a consent solicitation of our shareholders to further amend and restate our Trust Agreement in order to amend the definition of “operating period” to provide for the ability of our Managing Owner to shorten our operating period in its sole and absolute discretion. The consent solicitation was completed on May 24, 2017 with the requisite consents received from our shareholders. As a result, our Managing Owner ended our operating period on May 31, 2017 and commenced our wind down period on June 1, 2017. During our wind down period, we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business.

On May 30, 2017, our Investment Manager retained ABN AMRO Securities as its financial advisor to assist our Investment Manager and us in identifying, evaluating and executing a potential sale of certain shipping and offshore energy assets included

Table of Contents

within our investment portfolio. As a result of such identification and evaluation, on September 7, 2018, an unaffiliated third-party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON Fugro (as discussed below).

Our Trustee serves as our sole trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement and has delegated to our Managing Owner all of the power and authority to manage our business and affairs, including, but not limited to, our investments in Capital Assets. Pursuant to the terms of our investment management agreement, our Managing Owner engaged our Investment Manager to, among other things, originate and service our investments.

Recent Significant Transactions

We engaged in the following significant transactions since December 31, 2017:

Geotechnical Drilling Vessels

In anticipation of a potential breach of a financial covenant by Fugro on December 31, 2017, effective December 29, 2017, the indirect subsidiaries of a joint venture owned 10% by us and the affiliates of Fugro amended the bareboat charters on April 6, 2018 to, among other things, amend certain financial covenants, increase the daily charter rate and provide for additional security deposits. As part of the amendment, ICON Fugro received a fee of $55,000, of which our share was $5,500. Effective December 29, 2017, the indirect subsidiaries also amended the facility agreement with ABN AMRO, Rabobank and NIBC on April 6, 2018 to, among other things, increase the interest rate on the senior secured loans to share the economic benefits of the amended bareboat charters.

On September 7, 2018, an unaffiliated third-party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON Fugro for net sales proceeds of $27,727,846. As a result, we recorded a gain on sale of investment in joint venture of $302,584 during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Notes Receivable

LSC has been experiencing financial difficulties and has failed to make its quarterly in-arrears payments since July 1, 2018. As a result, principal and interest due from LSC are currently more than 90 days past due. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, LSC engaged a chief restructuring officer and we are currently working with LSC and its stakeholders to assess LSC’s financial condition for purposes of formulating a restructuring plan. As part of these discussions, on October 19, 2018, we, LSC and each of its other lenders entered into forbearance agreements under which we agreed to forbear from exercising our rights as a result of LSC’s various defaults under the loan agreement until no later than January 15, 2019 while we, LSC and each of its other stakeholders continue negotiating a restructuring plan. In light of these developments, our Investment Manager determined that there was doubt regarding the collectability of the note receivable. Our Investment Manager assessed the collectability of the note receivable by using a weighted-average of the concluded values from a market approach and an income approach utilizing (i) an enterprise value derived from adjusted EBITDA multiples of certain comparable public companies and of certain targeted/acquired companies and (ii) the value derived from discounted cash flows using company-specific projections and discount rates for companies of similar size and/or risk profiles. Based on such assessment, our Investment Manager believed that we may potentially not be able to recover approximately $800,000 to $1,200,000 of the outstanding balance due from LSC as of September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a credit loss of $1,076,350 based on this assessment, which our Investment Manager believed was the best estimate considering information that was then currently available. As we continue our discussions with LSC and its stakeholders regarding a restructuring plan, which may or may not come to fruition, going forward we will adjust the credit loss reserve accordingly based on new developments.

On December 20, 2016, we, Fund Fourteen and Fund Fifteen entered into a secured term loan credit facility agreement with CFL to provide a credit facility of up to $7,400,000, of which our commitment of $592,000 was funded on December 21, 2016. The loan bears interest at 8% per year and we are entitled to an equity participation fee based partly on the fair market value of the vessel upon repayment of the loan. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 21, 2020. The loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in and earnings from a motor cargo vessel. CFL and IMC are in default of their respective obligations under the loan documents and the sub-charter, respectively, due to, among other things (i) CFL frequently incurs shortfalls on its quarterly payments to us under the loan agreement resulting in a past due balance of $32,972 as of September 30, 2018; (ii) CFL’s failure to ensure the payment of, and IMC’s failure to pay, all sub-charter payments related to the vessel directly into a designated earnings account since September 2017; (iii) CFL’s failure to maintain a minimum liquidity amount in such designated earnings account; and (iv) CFL’s failure to satisfy its financial reporting requirements under the loan agreement. As a result, on October 5, 2018, we advised CFL that we were accelerating the repayment of all amounts payable under the loan and demanded that CFL and/or its guarantors immediately repay such amounts to us. CFL and/or its

Table of Contents

guarantors failed to make such payments. On October 22, 2018, we exercised our rights under the loan documents to assume CFL’s obligations under the sub-charter with IMC and to substitute CFL with our designee as the owner of the vessel solely for purposes of the sub-charter. As a result, all sub-charter payments will be paid directly to us going forward to satisfy amounts payable under the loan. Our Investment Manager continues to evaluate additional remedies that are available to us in order to enforce our rights under the loan documents and the sub-charter.

Subsequent Event

On October 30, 2018, we paid distributions to our Managing Owner, additional Class A shareholders and Class I shareholders of $24,242, $2,344,095 and $55,905, respectively.

Non-performing Assets within Financing Transactions

LSC has been experiencing financial difficulties and has failed to make its quarterly in-arrears payments since July 1, 2018. As a result, principal and interest due from LSC are currently more than 90 days past due. During the 2018 Quarter, LSC engaged a chief restructuring officer and we are currently working with LSC and its stakeholders to assess LSC’s financial condition for purposes of formulating a restructuring plan. As part of these discussions, on October 19, 2018, we, LSC and each of its other lenders entered into forbearance agreements under which we agreed to forbear from exercising our rights as a result of LSC’s various defaults under the loan agreement until no later than January 15, 2019 while we, LSC and each of its other stakeholders continue negotiating a restructuring plan. In light of these developments, our Investment Manager determined that there was doubt regarding the collectability of the note receivable. Our Investment Manager assessed the collectability of the note receivable by using a weighted-average of the concluded values from a market approach and an income approach utilizing (i) an enterprise value derived from adjusted EBITDA multiples of certain comparable public companies and of certain targeted/acquired companies and (ii) the value derived from discounted cash flows using company-specific projections and discount rates for companies of similar size and/or risk profiles. Based on such assessment, our Investment Manager believed that we may potentially not be able to recover approximately $800,000 to $1,200,000 of the outstanding balance due from LSC as of September 30, 2018. During the 2018 Quarter, we recorded a credit loss of $1,076,350 based on this assessment, which our Investment Manager believed was the best estimate considering information that was then currently available. As we continue our discussions with LSC and its stakeholders regarding a restructuring plan, which may or may not come to fruition, going forward we will adjust the credit loss reserve accordingly based on new developments. During the 2018 Quarter and the 2017 Quarter, we recognized finance income of $0 and $91,115, respectively, of which no amount was recognized on a cash basis.

Table of Contents

Revenue and other income for the 2018 Quarter and the 2017 Quarter is summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017		Change
Finance income	$	13,996	$	162,439	$	(148,443	)
Income from investment in joint ventures	20,453		96,262		(75,809		)
Gain on sale of investment in joint venture	302,584		—		302,584
Other income	1,712		19,989		(18,277		)
Total revenue and other income	$	338,745	$	278,690	$	60,055

Total revenue and other income for the 2018 Quarter increased $60,055, or 21.5%, as compared to the 2017 Quarter. The gain on sale of investment in joint venture during the 2018 Quarter was due to the sale of our interests in ICON Fugro in September 2018. The increase in total revenue and other income was partially offset by (i) a decrease in finance income primarily due to our impaired note receivable with LSC, which is no longer accruing income, and the expiration of our finance lease during 2017 and (ii) a decrease in income from investment in joint ventures due to less income being recognized by our joint ventures due to (a) the prepayment by Blackhawk during the 2017 Quarter and (b) the sale of our interests in ICON Fugro during the 2018 Quarter.

Expenses for the 2018 Quarter and the 2017 Quarter are summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017		Change
Management fees	$	—	$	15,835	$	(15,835	)
Administrative expense reimbursements	93,429		122,263		(28,834		)
General and administrative	54,804		46,848		7,956
Credit loss	1,076,350		—		1,076,350
Impairment loss	—		595,000		(595,000		)
Total expenses	$	1,224,583	$	779,946	$	444,637

Total expenses for the 2018 Quarter increased $444,637, or 57.0%, as compared to the 2017 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to the credit loss recorded during the 2018 Quarter related to LSC with no comparable credit loss recorded during the 2017 Quarter. The increase was partially offset by (i) no impairment loss recorded during the 2018 Quarter as compared to the impairment loss recorded during the 2017 Quarter on our investment in joint venture related to ICON Fugro and (ii) a decrease in administrative expense reimbursements due to reduced costs incurred on our behalf by our Investment Manager.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

No net income was attributable to noncontrolling interests in the 2018 Quarter. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $18,930 in the 2017 Quarter. The decrease was a result of the expiration of our finance lease and the satisfaction of the purchase obligation by our lessee during 2017.

Net Loss Attributable to Fund Sixteen

As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss attributable to us for the 2018 Quarter and the 2017 Quarter was $885,838 and $520,186, respectively. Net loss attributable to us per weighted average additional Class A share and Class I share outstanding for the 2018 Quarter was $49.83 for both classes. Net loss attributable to us per weighted average additional Class A share and Class I share outstanding for the 2017 Quarter was $29.26 for both classes.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 (the “2018 Period”) and 2017 (the “2017 Period”)

Total revenue and other income for the 2018 Period increased $48,308, or 6.3%, as compared to the 2017 Period. The gain on sale of investment in joint venture during the 2018 Period was due to the sale of our interests in ICON Fugro in September 2018. The increase in total revenue and other income was partially offset by a decrease in finance income primarily due to the expiration of our finance lease during 2017.

Total expenses for the 2018 Period increased $322,548, or 25.1%, as compared to the 2017 Period. The increase was due to the credit loss recorded during the 2018 Period related to LSC with no comparable credit loss recorded during the 2017 Period. The increase was partially offset by (i) no impairment loss recorded during the 2018 Period as compared to the impairment loss recorded during the 2017 Period on our investment in joint venture related to ICON Fugro, (ii) a decrease in administrative expense reimbursements due to reduced costs incurred on our behalf by our Investment Manager, (iii) a decrease in management fees due to our Investment Manager waiving all future management fees effective December 1, 2017 and (iv) a decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower consulting fees, bank fees and state income taxes incurred during the 2018 Period as compared to the 2017 Period partly as a result of the continued decrease in the size of our investment portfolio during our wind down period, partially offset by an increase in legal fees incurred in connection with the sale of our interests in ICON Fugro in September 2018.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $68,675, from $69,327 in the 2017 Period to $652 in the 2018 Period. The decrease was a result of the expiration of our finance lease and the satisfaction of the purchase obligation by our lessee during 2017.

Net Loss Attributable to Fund Sixteen

As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss attributable to us for the 2018 Period and the 2017 Period was $796,125 and $590,560, respectively.

Net loss attributable to us per weighted average additional Class A share and Class I share outstanding for the 2017 Period was $33.23 and $32.93, respectively.

Financial Condition

This section discusses the major balance sheet variances at September 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017.

Total Assets

Total assets decreased $2,993,329, from $9,594,815 at December 31, 2017 to $6,601,486 at September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to (i) cash generated by and returned from our investments being used to (a) pay distributions to our shareholders and (b) pay certain of our operating expenses, each during the 2018 Period, and (ii) the credit loss recorded during the 2018 Period on our note receivable related to LSC.

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities decreased $76,644, from $153,148 at December 31, 2017 to $76,504 at September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of the payment of certain administrative expense reimbursements and certain liabilities during the 2018 Period.

Equity

Equity decreased $2,916,685, from $9,441,667 at December 31, 2017 to $6,524,982 at September 30, 2018. The decrease was due to distributions to our shareholders and our net loss for the 2018 Period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had cash of $4,586,596 and $4,436,615, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of our offering, we have established a cash reserve in the amount of 0.50% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of our Shares. As of September 30, 2018, the cash reserve was $87,348. During our wind down period, which commenced on June 1, 2017, we expect our main sources of cash will be from the collection of income and principal on our notes receivable and proceeds from the sale of assets held directly by us or indirectly by our joint venture and our main use of cash will be for distributions to our shareholders. 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 pay distributions to our shareholders and to the extent that expenses exceed cash flows from operations and proceeds from the sale of our investments.

Our equipment financing business encountered significant challenges over the past several years. Specifically, we suffered from (i) a lack of significant capital raised in order to execute on our investment objectives; and (ii) increasing competition over the last few years from larger alternative lenders that had not historically competed with us for investment opportunities. These challenges, along with the increasing costs associated with managing a public equipment fund, made it increasingly difficult for us to operate in the same manner that we operated under since inception. Accordingly, our Investment Manager commenced our wind down period on June 1, 2017, during which we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business.

We believe that cash on hand, as well as cash generated from the expected results of our operations, will be sufficient to finance our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

Our ability to generate cash in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that affect us and our borrowers’ and lessees’ businesses that are beyond our control.

We have used the net proceeds of our offering and the cash generated from our investments to invest in Capital Assets located in North America and other developed markets, including those in Asia and elsewhere. We have sought to acquire a portfolio of Capital Assets that is comprised of transactions that generate (a) current cash flow from payments of principal and/or interest (in the case of secured loans and other financing transactions) and rental payments (in the case of leases), (b) deferred cash flow by realizing the value of Capital Assets or interests therein at the maturity of the investment, or (c) a combination of both from other structured investments.

Unanticipated or greater than anticipated operating costs or losses (including a borrower’s inability to make timely loan payments or a lessee’s inability to make timely lease payments) would adversely affect our liquidity. Our Managing Owner does not intend to fund any cash flow deficit of ours or provide other financial assistance to us.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities increased $260,980, from $202,426 in the 2017 Period to $463,406 in the 2018 Period. The increase was primarily due to (i) higher operating losses recognized on a cash basis and (ii) the timing of the payment of certain liabilities and the collection of certain receivables during the 2018 Period.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities increased $306,643, from $2,427,956 in the 2017 Period to $2,734,599 in the 2018 Period. The increase was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of our interests in ICON Fugro during the 2018 Period with no comparable proceeds received during the 2017 Period and our acquisition of additional interests in a consolidated joint venture from the noncontrolling interest holder during the 2017 Period with no comparable acquisition during the 2018 Period. The increase was partially offset by no principal received on our finance lease and no distributions received from our joint ventures in excess of profits during the 2018 Period as such investments matured and/or were sold during 2017.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities increased $1,045,207, from $1,076,005 in the 2017 Period to $2,121,212 in the 2018 Period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in distributions paid to our shareholders, partially offset by no distributions paid to noncontrolling interests, each during the 2018 Period as compared to the 2017 Period.

Distributions

We paid monthly distributions to our shareholders beginning with the first month after each such shareholder’s admission through December 31, 2016. We expect that distributions paid during our wind down period will vary, depending on the timing of the sale of our assets and/or the maturity of our investments, and our receipt of finance and other income from our investments. During the 2018 Period, we paid distributions to our Managing Owner, Class A additional shareholders and Class I shareholders of $21,212, $2,051,083 and $48,917, respectively.

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, 2018, our Managing Owner carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our Managing Owner, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Managing Owner’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 Managing Owner’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In designing and evaluating our Managing Owner’s disclosure controls and procedures, our Managing Owner recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our Managing Owner’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, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	(1) Organization ICON ECI Fund Sixteen (the “Fund”) was formed on October 11, 2012 as a Delaware statutory trust. When used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms refer to the Fund and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a direct financing fund that primarily made investments in or that are collateralized by equipment and other corporate infrastructure (collectively, “Capital Assets”). The investments were in companies that utilize Capital Assets to operate their businesses. These investments were 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 that ICON MT 16, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our managing owner (the “Managing Owner”), believes will provide us with a satisfactory, risk-adjusted rate of return. Our Managing Owner makes investment decisions on our behalf and manages our business. Our investment objectives are to preserve investors’ capital, provide distributions and provide a favorable total return. To meet our investment objectives, we used the net proceeds from our offering and the cash generated from our investments to originate or acquire a diverse pool of investments described above, as well as other strategic investments collateralized by Capital Assets. ICON Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our affiliate, is our investment manager (the “Investment Manager”). Our Investment Manager originated and services our investments. Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) serves as our sole trustee pursuant to our Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trustee delegated to our Managing Owner all of the power and authority to manage our business and affairs and has only nominal duties and liabilities to us. Our offering period commenced on July 1, 2013 and ended on December 31, 2014. Our Managing Owner determined to cease our offering period earlier than originally anticipated as a result of lower than expected offering proceeds being raised. We offered to sell to the public any combination of two classes of shares, Class A shares and Class I shares (collectively, the “Shares”), on a “best efforts” basis with the intention of raising up to $250,000,000 of capital, of which $9,000,000 had been reserved for issuance pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”). Other than differing allocable fees and expenses, Class A shares and Class I shares have identical rights and privileges, such as identical voting and distribution rights. As of November 12, 2013 (the “Initial Closing Date”), we raised a minimum of $1,200,000 from the sale of our 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. Subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, we returned the initial capital contribution of $1,000 to CION Investment Group, LLC (the “Initial Shareholder”). From the commencement of our offering on July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, we sold 17,189 Class A shares to 351 Class A shareholders and 410 Class I shares to six Class I shareholders, of which 404 Class A shares and 12 Class I shares were issued pursuant to the DRIP, representing an aggregate of $17,469,610 of capital contributions. From the Initial Closing Date through December 31, 2014, we incurred sales commissions to third parties of $1,198,531 and dealer-manager and distribution fees of $347,547 to CION Securities, LLC, the dealer-manager of our offering and an affiliate of our Investment Manager (“CION Securities”). In addition, organization costs of $8,418 and offering expenses of $161,422 were incurred by us during such period. Organization costs were expensed when incurred and offering expenses were recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Our operating period commenced on January 1, 2015. On April 24, 2017, we commenced a consent solicitation of our shareholders to further amend and restate our Trust Agreement in order to amend the definition of “operating period” to provide for the ability of our Managing Owner to shorten our operating period in its sole and absolute discretion. The consent solicitation was completed on May 24, 2017 with the requisite consents received from our shareholders. As a result, our Managing Owner ended our operating period on May 31, 2017 and commenced our wind down period on June 1, 2017. During our wind down period, we have sold and will continue to sell our assets and/or let our investments mature in the ordinary course of business. On May 30, 2017, our Investment Manager retained ABN AMRO Securities (USA) LLC (“ABN AMRO Securities”) as its financial advisor to assist our Investment Manager and us in identifying, evaluating and executing a potential sale of certain shipping and offshore energy assets included within our investment portfolio. As a result of such identification and evaluation, on September 7, 2018, an unaffiliated third-party purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests of ICON Fugro (as defined and discussed in further detail in Note 4).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Sep. 30, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	(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 (the “SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of our Managing Owner, 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, 2017. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Finance Leases and Credit Loss Reserve Our Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment 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. Financing receivables are generally placed on a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, our Investment Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days and based upon our Investment 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 Investment 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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. Since substantially all of our revenue is recognized from our leasing and lending contracts, which are not subject to ASU 2014-09, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an 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. We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01, we are no longer required to make certain disclosures related to the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. 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. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. We utilize the cumulative earnings approach under ASU 2016-15 to present distributions received from equity-method investees, which is consistent with our previous policy. In November 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASU 2016-18”), which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements as we did not have any restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents for the periods presented herein. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business. ASU 2017-01 sets forth requirements to be met for a set to be deemed a business and establishes a practical way to determine when a set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output, and removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. In addition, ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of outputs and aligns such definition with how outputs are described within the revenue guidance. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018, which did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements 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. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides an additional transition method by allowing companies to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, ASU 2018-11 provides lessors a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component under certain circumstances. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. As we no longer have any lease arrangements and since we are in our wind down period and not expecting to enter into any new leases in the future, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 will not have an 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 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 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 2018-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Line of Credit Facility [Abstract]
Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse	(5) Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse We had an agreement with California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) for a revolving line of credit through May 30, 2017 of up to $5,000,000 (the “Facility”), which was secured by all of our assets not subject to a first priority lien. Amounts available under the Facility were subject to a borrowing base that was determined, subject to certain limitations, by the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which we had a beneficial interest. The interest rate for general advances under the Facility was CB&T’s prime rate. We could have elected to designate up to five advances on the outstanding principal balance of the Facility to bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.5% per year. In all instances, borrowings under the Facility were subject to an interest rate floor of 4.0% per year. In addition, we were obligated to pay an annualized 0.5% fee on unused commitments under the Facility. The Facility expired in accordance with its terms on May 30, 2017. There were no obligations outstanding under the Facility on the expiration date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized interest expense of $0 and $3,603, respectively, related to the amortization of debt financing costs.
