PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
 Financial Statements
 Presented herein are Cronos Global Income XIV, L.P.s (the Partnership) condensed balance
sheets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, condensed statements of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and condensed statements of
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, (collectively the
Financial Statements) prepared by the Partnership without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnerships December 31, 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. These Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of the Partnership
and Cronos Capital Corp. (CCC), the general partner, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim
periods. The statements of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the securities laws. These forward-looking statements
reflect the current view of the Partnership with respect to future events and financial
performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
the Partnerships control. All statements, other than statements of historical facts
included in this report, including the statements under Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, regarding the Partnerships
strategy, future operations, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and
objectives of the Partnership are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the
words would, believe, anticipate, intend, estimate, expect, project, and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this report. The Partnership does not undertake to update or
revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Although the Partnership believes that its plans, intentions
and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements made in this
report are reasonable, the Partnership can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or
expectations will be achieved. Future economic and industry trends that could potentially
impact revenues and profitability are difficult to predict.

    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 (a)
    
    Nature of OperationsCronos 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 worldwide to ocean carriers. The Partnership believes that
the profitability of, and risks associated with, leases to foreign customers is generally
the same as those of leases to domestic customers. The Partnerships leases generally
require all payments to be made in United States currency.Cronos Capital Corp. (CCC) is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos
Containers Limited (the Leasing Company), manages the business of the Partnership. CCC
and the Leasing Company also manage the container leasing business for other partnerships
affiliated with CCC.The Partnership commenced operations on January 29, 1993 when the minimum subscription
proceeds of $2,000,000 were obtained. 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 sold.The Partnership is in its 15th year of operations and is in its liquidation phase wherein
CCC is focusing its attention on the retirement of the remaining equipment in the
Partnerships container fleet. At September 30, 2007, approximately 35% of the original
equipment remained in the Partnerships fleet.(b)
    
    Leasing Company and Leasing Agent AgreementA Leasing Agent Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Leasing Company,
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 Accounting for Lease, 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 the Leasing Company. The
Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
are either master leases or term leases (mostly one 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, and 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. Sales-type leases have fixed payment terms and provide
the lessee with a purchase option. The net investment in sales-type leases represents a
receivable due from the Leasing Company, net of unearned income. Unearned income, when
recognized, is reflected in the Partnerships statements of operations, providing a
constant return on capital over the lease term. Unearned income is recorded as part of the
net lease receivable due from the Leasing Company. Most containers are leased to ocean
carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material
to the financial statements.

    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 (b)
    
    Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement (continued)Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of
minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements.(c)
    
    Basis of PresentationThese unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and
regulation S-X, Article 10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for interim financial
information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in
the Partnerships December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the
results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.(d)
    
    Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 significant estimates included within the financial statements are the container rental
equipments estimated useful lives and residual values, and the estimate of future cash
flows from container rental equipment operations, used to evaluate the carrying value of
container rental equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144).(e)
    
    Container Rental EquipmentContainer rental equipment is depreciated over a 15-year life using the straight-line basis
to its salvage value, estimated to be 10% of its original equipment cost. Depreciation
policies are also evaluated to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives and residual values.In accordance with SFAS No. 144, container rental equipment is considered to be
impaired if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows from
related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to
exist, the assets are written down to fair value. An analysis projecting future cash flows
from container rental equipment operations is prepared annually, or upon material changes
in market conditions.Current and projected utilization rates, per-diem rental rates, direct operating expenses,
fleet size and container disposals are the primary variables utilized in the analysis.
Additionally, the Partnership evaluates future cash flows and potential impairment by
container type rather than for each individual container, and as a result, future losses could result for individual container

    Container Rental Equipment (continued)dispositions due to various factors, including
age, condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical location of
containers when disposed. There were no impairment charges to the carrying value of
container rental equipment for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006.(f)
    
    Allocation of Net Income or Loss, Partnership Distributions and Partners
Capital AccountsNet income or loss has been allocated between the general and limited partners in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement generally provides
that CCC shall at all times maintain at least a 1% interest in each item of income or loss,
including the gain arising from the sale of containers. The Partnership Agreement further
provides that the gain arising from the sale of containers be allocated first to the
partners with capital account deficit balances in an amount sufficient to eliminate any
deficit capital account balance. Thereafter, the Partnerships gains arising from the sale
of containers are allocated to the partners in accordance with their share of sale proceeds
distributed. The Partnership Agreement also provides for income (excluding the gain
arising from the sale of containers) for any period, be allocated to CCC in an amount equal
to that portion of CCCs distributions in excess of 1% of the total distributions made to
both CCC and the limited partners of the Partnership for such period, as well as other
allocation adjustments.Actual cash distributions differ from the allocations of net income or loss between the
general and limited partners as presented in these financial statements. Partnership
distributions are paid to its partners (general and limited) from distributable cash from
operations, allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to CCC. Distributions of sales
proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to CCC. The allocations remain
in effect until such time as the limited partners have received from the Partnership
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital contributions plus an 8%
cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their adjusted capital contributions.
Thereafter, all Partnership distributions will be allocated 85% to the limited partners and
15% to CCC. Cash distributions from operations to CCC in excess of 5% of distributable
cash will be considered an incentive fee and will be recorded as compensation to CCC, with
the remaining distributions from operations charged to partners capital.Upon dissolution, the assets of the Partnership will be sold and the proceeds thereof
distributed as follows: (i) all of the Partnerships debts and liabilities to persons
other than CCC or the limited partners shall be paid and discharged; (ii) all of the
Partnerships debts and liabilities to CCC and the limited partners shall be paid and
discharged; and (iii) the balance of such proceeds shall be distributed to CCC and the
limited partners in accordance with the positive balances of CCC and the limited partners
capital accounts. CCC shall contribute to the Partnership, if necessary, an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balance in its capital account at the time of such
liquidation, or 1.01% of the excess of the Limited Partners capital contribution to the
Partnership over the capital contributions previously made to the Partnership by CCC, after
giving effect to the allocation of income or loss arising from the liquidation of the
Partnerships assets.

    Net Lease and Other Receivables Due from Leasing CompanyNet lease and other 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 earned by
the Leasing Company under operating leases and sales-type leases to ocean carriers for the
containers owned by the Partnership, as well as proceeds earned from container disposals. Net
lease and other receivables at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

    Net Lease RevenueNet 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 and sales-type lease agreements between the
Leasing Company and its various lessees, less direct operating expenses, management fees and
reimbursed administrative expenses incurred in respect of the containers specified in each
operating lease agreement. Net lease revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XIV, L.P.
 Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
 (4)
    
    Operating SegmentAn operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from
which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed
by the enterprises chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate financial
information is available. Management operates the Partnerships container fleet as a
homogenous unit and have determined that as such, it has a single reportable operating segment.The Partnership derives revenues from dry cargo and refrigerated containers used by its
customers in global trade routes. As of September 30, 2007, the Partnership operated 3,379
twenty-foot 1,109 forty-foot and 138 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well
as 102 twenty-foot and two forty-foot marine refrigerated containers. A summary of gross lease
revenue earned by the Leasing Company, on behalf of the Partnership, by product, for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 follows:

 Due to the Partnerships lack of information regarding the physical location of its fleet
of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, the Partnership believes that it does
not possess discernible geographic reporting segments as defined in SFAS No. 131 (SFAS 131),
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.(5)
    
    The Cronos GroupAt a special meeting held August 1, 2007, the shareholders of The Cronos Group (CGH), a
Luxembourg holding company, approved the Asset Purchase Agreement with CRX Acquisition Ltd., a
Bermuda exempted company (CRX) and FB Transportation Capital LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (FB Transportation) and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including
CGHs dissolution and liquidation. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and
subject to the conditions stated therein, CGH agreed to sell all of its assets to CRX and CRX
agreed to assume all of CGHs liabilities. Closing of the sale of CGHs assets and liabilities
to CRX occurred later that same day. The container leasing business of CGH will be continued
by CRX as a private company. Management of CGH, which includes members of the management of
CCC, are continuing as management of CRX and acquired an equity interest in CRX. CCC is now an
indirect subsidiary of CRX.
