NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations Cronos Global Income Fund XIV, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on July 30, 1992, for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers. Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the Partnership. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement The Partnership has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and releasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements. (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is recognized when earned. (d) Financial Statement Presentation These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. (Continued) 5 8 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XIV, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management fees payable, and reimbursed administrative expenses payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease receivables at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:
September 30, December 31, 1995 1994 ------------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $190,921 at September 30, 1995 and $129,453 at December 31, 1994 $ 2,472,752 $ 2,761,841 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 680,222 605,400 Damage protection reserve 243,463 154,231 Base management fees 241,581 227,340 Reimbursed administrative expenses 47,966 53,179 ------------ ------------ $ 1,259,520 $ 1,721,691 ============ ============
(3) Due to General Partner The amounts due to CCC at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consist of acquisition fees. (4) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates from the rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was as follows:

6 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. 1) Material changes in financial condition between September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994. During the first nine months of 1995, the Registrant's cash balances increased by $760,312 to $1,771,665. Additionally, the Registrant's collection of outstanding lease receivables and sales proceeds has been favorable, contributing to the aforementioned increase in cash and cash equivalents, and to a $462,171 decline in net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company. Direct operating payables and accrued expenses, a component of net lease receivables, increased $74,822. This increase results from a $30,417 increase in accrued operating expenses and a $44,405 increase in deferred revenue from advance billings to container lessees. The reserve for container repairs covered under the damage protection plan increased $89,232 as a result of an increase in the number of containers covered by the plan. The amount due to the General Partner declined $450,000, as the Registrant continued to make payments to the General Partner for acquisition fees deferred during the build-up phase of the Registrant's fleet and operations. During the first nine months of 1995, the Registrant acquired 24 new twenty-foot dry cargo containers at an aggregate manufacturers' invoice cost of $59,400, replacing containers which had been lost or damaged beyond repair. The Registrant's cash balances at September 30, 1995 include additional sales proceeds from equipment disposals in the amount of approximately $123,000. The Registrant will use these sales proceeds in subsequent periods to purchase additional containers as replacements for lost or damaged containers. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994. Net lease revenue for the third quarter of 1995 was $2,123,554, an increase of 8% over the third quarter of 1994. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the quarter was $2,854,894, as compared to $2,805,217 for the same period last year. For the first nine months of 1995, net lease revenue was $6,159,852, an increase of 6% when compared to the first nine months of 1994. Gross rental revenue increased 3% to $8,385,646 over the same nine-month period. Gross rental revenue increased when compared to the same three and nine-month periods in the prior year, as the Registrant continued to recognize higher ancillary revenues, such as pick-up and drop-off charges. These ancillary revenues enhanced the results contributed by a stable fleet size and stable utilization rates. Competitive pressures within the container leasing market, as well as the Leasing Company's efforts to improve the credit quality of its customer portfolio, combined to create a resistance to higher average dry cargo container per-diem rental rates. Accordingly, these rates remained relatively stable when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Registrant expects to gain long-term benefits from the improvement in the credit quality of this customer portfolio, as the allowance for doubtful accounts and related expenses should decline. However, average refrigerated container per-diem rental rates increased approximately 2% and 1% when compared with the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively. 7 10 The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ----------------------------- ----------------------------- September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 1995 1994 1995 1994 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalents (TEU)) Dry cargo containers 15,496 15,493 15,509 15,500 Refrigerated containers 1,155 1,160 1,157 1,160 Average Utilization Dry cargo containers 89% 91% 90% 89% Refrigerated containers 99% 96% 99% 98%
During the third quarter of 1995, the container leasing market began to experience the effects of increasingly competitive market conditions, including, but not limited to, a resistance to higher per-diem rental rates, slightly lower utilization rates resulting from an expanding supply of marine cargo containers within the container industry, and the economic condition of the shipping industry, which has experienced a current trend toward consolidation. Accordingly, the Registrant expects a stable container leasing market during the remainder of 1995 and first half of 1996. Declines in the provision for repairs covered by the damage protection plan, and the provision for doubtful accounts, were contributing factors to declines in rental equipment operating expenses of 20% and 5%, when compared to the same three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively. 8 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
