                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(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 the business of the
                Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until December 31,
                2012, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of certain
                events.

                The Partnership commenced operations on January 29, 1993 when
                the minimum subscription proceeds of $2,000,000 were obtained.
                As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership operated 8,283 twenty-foot,
                3,563 forty-foot and 98 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo
                containers and 454 twenty-foot and 340 forty-foot refrigerated
                cargo containers.

                The Partnership offered 4,250,000 units of limited partnership
                interests at $20 per unit, or $85,000,000. The offering
                terminated on November 30, 1993, at which time 2,984,309 limited
                partnership units had been purchased.


        (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 re-leasing 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.
 

                                                                     (Continued)

        (c)     Basis of Accounting

                The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Net
                lease revenue is recorded by the Partnership in each period
                based upon its leasing agent agreement with the Leasing Company.
                Net lease revenue is generally dependent upon operating lease
                rentals from operating lease agreements between the Leasing
                Company and its various lessees, less direct operating expenses
                and management fees due in respect of the containers specified
                in each operating lease agreement.


        (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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the
                Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
                reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
                contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
                statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
                during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
                those estimates.

                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.


        (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 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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were as follows:

(3)     Net Lease Revenue

        Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses,
        base management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC 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 six-month periods ended
        June 30, 1997 and 1996 was as follows:

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 June 30, 1997 and
        December 31, 1996.

        At June 30, 1997, the Registrant had $1,215,001 in cash and cash
        equivalents, a decrease of $515,503 from the December 31, 1996 cash
        balances. At June 30, 1997, the Registrant had approximately $123,000 in
        cash generated from equipment sales reserved as part of its cash
        balances. Throughout the remainder of 1997, the Registrant expects to
        continue using cash generated from equipment sales to purchase and
        replace containers which have been lost or damaged beyond repair.

        The Registrant's operating performance contributed to an 11% decline in
        net lease receivables at June 30, 1997 when compared to December 31,
        1996. The Registrant's cash distribution from operations for the second
        quarter of 1997 was 8.0% (annualized) of the limited partners' original
        capital contribution, unchanged from the first quarter of 1997. These
        distributions are directly related to the Registrant's results from
        operations and may fluctuate accordingly.

        During 1996, ocean carriers and other transport companies moved away
        from leasing containers outright, as declining container prices,
        favorable interest rates and the abundance of available capital resulted
        in ocean carriers and transport companies purchasing a larger share of
        equipment for their own account, reducing the demand for leased
        containers. Once the demand for leased containers began to fall,
        per-diem rental rates were also adversely affected, contributing to an
        uncertain start to 1997. Since the beginning of the year, the container
        leasing industry has experienced an upward trend in container
        utilization. The impact of this trend on the utilization rates of the
        Registrant has been mixed. The Registrant's dry container utilization
        rate increased from 79% at December 31, 1996 to 82% at June 30, 1997,
        while the refrigerated container utilization rate measured 79% at June
        30, 1997, unchanged from December 31, 1996. During 1996, shipping lines
        and other transport companies had reduced their leased fleets to minimal
        levels in an attempt to reduce costs. However, increasing cargo volumes
        and continued equipment imbalances within the container fleets of
        shipping lines and transport companies have established a need for these
        companies to replenish their leased fleets.

        Although there has been a general improvement in container utilization
        rates, per-diem rental rates continue to remain under pressure. The
        decline in per-diem rental rates from those evidenced during 1996 can be
        attributed to the following factors: three new leasing companies have
        offered new containers and low rental rates in an effort to break into
        the leasing market; established leasing companies have reduced rates to
        very low levels; and a continued over supply of containers. Although
        these conditions are expected to continue to impact the Registrant's
        financial condition and operating performance throughout 1997, the
        long-term outlook remains a positive one.

2)      Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
        six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and the three and six-month
        periods ended June 30, 1996.

        Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
        1997 was $1,277,794 and $2,498,145, respectively, a decline of
        approximately 29% and 30% from the same periods in the prior year,
        respectively. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue)
        for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 was $2,009,696
        and $4,028,544, respectively, reflecting a decline of 20% from the same
        periods in 1996. During 1997, gross lease revenue was primarily impacted
        by lower per-diem rental rates and utilization levels. Average dry cargo
        container per-diem rental rates for the three and six-month periods
        ended June 30, 1997 declined approximately 12% and 10%, respectively,
        when compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.
        Average refrigerated container per-diem rental rates for the three and
        six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 declined approximately 11% and
        13%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
        Dry cargo utilization, which steadily increased since December 31, 1996,
        did not recover to the same levels experienced during the three and
        six-month periods ended June 30, 1996. Refrigerated container
        utilization rates declined in each of the three and six-month periods
        ended June 30, 1997, as many of the term leases entered into during the
        Registrant's initial years of operations have since expired.

        The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three
        and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 were as
        follows:

        Rental equipment operating expenses were 24% and 26% of the Registrant's
        gross lease revenue during the three and six-month periods ended June
        30, 1997, as compared to 16% and 17% during the three and six-month
        periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. This increase was largely
        attributable to an increase in costs associated with lower utilization
        levels, including handling, storage and repositioning.

        As reported in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K and Amendment
        No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on
        February 7, 1997 and February 26, 1997, respectively, Arthur Andersen,
        London, England, resigned as auditors of The Cronos Group, a Luxembourg
        Corporation headquartered in Orchard Lea, England (the "Parent
        Company"), on February 3, 1997.

        The Parent Company is the indirect corporate parent of Cronos Capital
        Corp., the general partner of the Registrant. In its letter of
        resignation to the Parent Company, Arthur Andersen states that it
        resigned as auditors of the Parent Company and all other entities
        affiliated with the Parent Company. While its letter of resignation was
        not addressed to the general partner or the Registrant, Arthur Andersen
        confirmed to the general partner that its resignation as auditors of the
        entities referred to in its letter of resignation included its
        resignation as auditors of Cronos Capital Corp. and the Registrant.

        Following Arthur Andersen's resignation, the Parent Company subsequently
        received notification from the Securities and Exchange Commission that
        it was conducting a private investigation of the Parent Company
        regarding the events and circumstances leading to Arthur Andersen's
        resignation. The results of this investigation are still pending.
        Accordingly, the Registrant does not, at this time, have sufficient
        information to determine the impact, if any, that the Securities and
        Exchange Commission investigation of the Parent Company and the concerns
        expressed by Arthur Andersen in its letter of resignation may have on
        the future operating results and financial condition of the Registrant
        or the Leasing Company's ability to manage the Registrant's fleet in
        subsequent periods. However, the general partner of the Registrant does
        not believe, based upon the information currently available to it, that
        Arthur Andersen's resignation was triggered by any concern over the
        accounting policies and procedures followed by the Registrant.

        Arthur Andersen's report on the financial statements of Cronos Capital
        Corp. and the Registrant, for either of the previous two years, has not
        contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any
        such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
        accounting principles. During the Registrant's previous two fiscal years
        and the subsequent interim period preceding Arthur Andersen's
        resignation, there have been no disagreements between Cronos Capital
        Corp. or the Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting
        principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
        scope or procedure.

        The Registrant retained a new auditor, Moore Stephens, P.C. ("Moore
        Stephens") on April 10, 1997, as reported in the Registrant's Current
        Report on Form 8-K, filed April 14, 1997.

        The President of the Leasing Company, a subsidiary of the Parent
        Company, along with two marketing Vice Presidents, resigned in June
        1997. These vacancies were filled by qualified, long-time employees who
        average over 15 years of experience in the container leasing industry,
        therefore providing continuity in the management of the Leasing Company.
        The Registrant and general partner do not believe these changes will
        have a material impact on the future operating results and financial
        condition of the Registrant.

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to
        future results of the Registrant, including certain projections and
        business trends, that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the
        Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may

        conditions; trade policies; demand for and market acceptance of leased
        marine cargo containers; competitive utilization and per-diem rental
        rate pressures; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but

        container leasing business under Item 2., Management's Discussion and
        Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and those
        detailed from time to time in the filings of Registrant with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission.
