Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

PeriodThree and Nine Months Ended September 30, 20172019 and 2018

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Nature of OperationsOperations.

 

OrganizationArboretum Silverleaf Income Fund, L.P. (f/k/a SQN Asset Income Fund V, L.P.) (the “Partnership”) was formed on January 14, 2016, as a Delaware limited partnership andpartnership. On July 19, 2019, the Partnership changed its name from SQN Asset Income Fund V, L.P. to Arboretum Silverleaf Income Fund, L.P. The Partnership is engaged in a single business segment, the ownership and investment in leased equipment and related financings which includes: (i) purchasing equipment and leasing it to third-party end users; (ii) providing equipment and other asset financing; (iii) acquiring equipment subject to leaselease; and (iv) acquiring ownership rights (residual value interests) in leased equipment at lease expiration. The Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2040.

 

Nature of Operations –The principal investment strategy of the Partnership is to invest in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-savings)cost-saving) equipment or other physical assets with high in-place value and long, relative to the investment term, economic life and projectother financings. The Partnership executes its investment strategy by making investments in equipment already subject to lease or originating equipment leases and loans in such equipment, which will include: (i) purchasing equipment and leasing it to third-party end users; (ii) providing equipment and other asset and project financings; (iii) acquiring equipment subject to leaselease; and (iv) acquiring ownership rights (residual value interests) in leased equipment at lease expiration. From time to time, the Partnership may also purchase equipment and sell it directly to its leasing customers. The Partnership may use other investment structures that SQNArboretum Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) believes will provide the Partnership with an appropriate level of security, collateralization, and flexibility to optimize its return on its investment while protecting against downside risk. In many cases, the structure will include the Partnership holding title to or a priority or controlling position in the equipment or other asset.

 

The General Partner of the Partnership is ASIF GP, LLC (f/k/a SQN AIF V GP, LLCLLC) (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. On July 8, 2019, the General Partner changed its name from SQN AIF V GP, LLC to ASIF GP, LLC. Both the Partnership’s General Partner and its Investment Manager are Delaware limited liability companies. The General Partner manages and controls the day to day activities and operations of the Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner paid an aggregate capital contribution of $100 for a 1% interest in the Partnership’s income, losses and distributions. The Investment Manager makes all investment decisions and manages the investment portfolio of the Partnership.

The Partnership’s income, losses and distributions are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received total distributions equal to their capital contributions plus an 8% per year, compounded annually, cumulative return on their capital contributions. After such time, all income, losses and distributable cash will be allocated 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner. The Partnership expects to conduct its activities for at least six years and divide the Partnership’s life into three distinct stages: (i) the Offering Period, (ii) the Operating Period and (iii) the Liquidation Period. The Offering Period began on August 11, 2016 will terminate no later than two years after this date, unless extended by the General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months.and concluded on March 31, 2019. The Operating Period will commencecommenced on October 3, 2016, the date of the Partnership’s initial closing, and will last for four years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. During the Operating Period, the Partnership will invest most of the net proceeds from its offering in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment, other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams and project financings. The Liquidation Period, which follows the conclusion of the Operating Period, is the period in which the Partnership will sell its assets in the ordinary course of business and will last two years, unless it is extended, at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The General Partner may extend the Offering Period, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months. The General Partner may also extend the Operating Period and subsequent Liquidation Period in its sole discretion.

Unless extended by the General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, for up to an additional 12 months, the offering will terminate on the date that is two years from the date of August 11, 2016.

During the Operating Period, the Partnership plans to make quarterly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners, if, in the opinion of the Partnership’s Investment Manager, such distributions are in the Partnership’s best interests. Therefore, the amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed. The targeted distribution rate is 6.0% annually, paid quarterly as 1.5%, of each Limited Partner’s capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). Since June 30, 2017, our distribution rate has been 6.5% annually, paid quarterly at 1.625%, of capital contributions. Beginning as of March 31, 2018, we increased our distribution to 7.0% annually, paid quarterly at 1.75% of capital contributions. Beginning as of June 30, 2018, we increased our distribution to 7.5%, paid quarterly at 1.875% of capital contributions. Beginning as of September 30, 2018 we increased our distribution to 8.0%, paid quarterly at 2.00% of capital contributions. The amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership declared and accrued2019, we made quarterly distributioncash distributions to itsour Limited Partners totaling $289,058$1,292,674, and accrued $511,323 for distributions due to Limited Partners which resulted in a distributions payable to Limited Partners of $142,638$511,323 at September 30, 2017. The Partnership did not make a cash distribution to the General Partner during the nine months ended2019.

On September 11, 2018, the Partnership formed a special purpose entity SQN Lifestyle Leasing, LLC (“Lifestyle Leasing”), a limited liability company registered in the state of Delaware which is wholly owned by the Partnership. On May 24, 2019, the Partnership terminated Lifestyle Leasing.

Basis of Presentation — The interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, statementstatements of operations, statement of changes in partners’ equity and statementstatements of cash flows of the Partnership at September 30, 20172019 and 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2018 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.28, 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation— The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its entity, where the Partnership has the primary economic benefits of ownership. The Partnership’s consolidation policy requires the consolidation of entities where a controlling financial interest is held as well as the consolidation of variable interest entities in which the Partnership has the primary economic benefits. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Variable interests are investments or other interests that absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) expected losses or receive portions of the Partnership’s expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE. An entity is considered to be a VIE if any of the following conditions exist. (1) The total equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (2) As a group, the holders of equity investments at risk lack any of the three characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (a) The direct or indirect ability through voting or similar rights to make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the legal entity. The equity holders at risk are deemed to lack this characteristic if: i. the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity or rights to receive expected residual returns; and ii. substantially all of the legal entity’s activities are either involved with or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights (b) The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity or (c) The right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. An entity that is determined to be a VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance (“Power”) and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“Benefits”). The determination of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary involves complex and subjective analyses.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the General Partner and Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates primarily include the determination of allowances for doubtful lease, notes and loan accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, estimated useful lives, and residual values. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds maintained in checking and money market accounts maintained at financial institutions.

 

The Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has placed these funds in a full service commercial financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.

 

Restricted Cash— Restricted cash primarily consisted of cash held in an escrow account from subscriptions received in advance which was released as a result of the receipt and acceptance by the General Partner.

Credit Risk — In the normal course of business, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Partnership’s counterparty to an agreement either has an inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. The Partnership expects concentrations of credit risk with respect to lessees to be dispersed across different industry segments and different regions of the world.

Asset Impairments — Assets in the Partnership’s investment portfolio, which are considered long-lived assets, are periodically reviewed, no less frequently than annually or when indicators of impairment exist, to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If there is an indication of impairment, the Partnership estimates the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If an impairment is determined to exist, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded in the statement of operations in the period the determination is made. The events or changes in circumstances that generally indicate that an asset may be impaired are, (i) the estimated fair value of the underlying equipment is less than its carrying value, (ii) the lessee is experiencing financial difficulties and (iii) it does not appear likely that the estimated proceeds from the disposition of the asset will be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the level of future rents or receipts from the sale of the investment, estimated downtime between re-leasing events, and the amount of re-leasing costs. The Investment Manager’s review for impairment includes a consideration of the existence of impairment indicators, including third party appraisals, published values for similar assets, recent transactions for similar assets, adverse changes in market conditions for specific asset types, and the occurrence of significant adverse changes in general industry and market conditions that could affect the fair value of the asset.

 

Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition— The Partnership records revenue based upon the lease classification determined at the inception of the transaction and based upon the terms of the lease or when there are significant changes to the lease terms.

 

The Partnership leases equipment to third parties and each such lease may be classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease for a finance lease. For an operating lease, initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated.

For finance leases, the Partnership records, at lease inception, the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment upon lease termination, the initial direct costs, if any, related to the lease and the related unearned income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on the straight line basis over the lease term. Billed and uncollected operating lease receivables will be included in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. Rental income received in advance is the difference between the timing of the cash payments and the income recognized on the straight line basis.

 

The investment committee of the Investment Manager approves each new equipment lease, financing transaction, and lease acquisition. As part of this process it determines the unguaranteed residual value, if any, to be used once the acquisition has been approved. The factors considered in determining the unguaranteed residual value include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment being considered, how the equipment is integrated into the potential lessee’slessees’ business, the length of the lease the industry in which the potential lessee operates and the secondary market value of the equipment. Unguaranteed residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Partnership’s policy relating to impairment review.

 

The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset will be utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the marketplace are disregarded, and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. The residual value is calculated using information from various external sources, such as trade publications, auction data, equipment dealers, wholesalers and industry experts, as well as inspection of the physical asset and other economic indicators.

Finance Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Lease, Notes and Loan Accounts — In the normal course of business, the Partnership provides credit or financing to its customers, performs credit evaluations of these customers, and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. These credit or financing transactions are normally collateralized by the equipment being financed. In determining the amount of allowance for doubtful lease, notes and loan accounts, the Investment Manager considers historical credit losses, the past due status of receivables, payment history, and other customer-specific information, including the value of the collateral. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for doubtful lease, notes and loan accounts. Receivables are written off when the Investment Manager determines they are uncollectible. At September 30, 2017,2019 and 2018, an allowance for doubtful lease, notes and loan accounts is not currently provided since, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, all accounts recorded are deemed collectible.

 

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable— Equipment notes and loans receivable are reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the outstanding principal balance net of any unamortized deferred fees, and premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Costs to originate loans, if any, are reported as other assets in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and amortized to expense over the estimated life of the loan. Income is recognized over the life of the note agreement. On certain equipment notes and loans receivable, specific payment terms were reached requiring prepayments which resulted in the recognition of unearned interest income. Unearned income, discounts and premiums, if any, are amortized to interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest rate method. Equipment notes and loans receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due and all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Additionally, the Investment Manager periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon the Investment Manager’s judgment, accounts may be placed in a non-accrual status. Accounts on a non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and the Partnership believes recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. Revenue on non-accrual accounts is recognized only when cash has been received.

 

Income Taxes — As a partnership, no provision for income taxes is recorded since the liability for such taxes is the responsibility of each of the Partners rather than the Partnership. The Partnership’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, and changes, if any, could adjust the individual income tax of the Partners.

The Partnership is subject to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“BBA”), which, among other requirements, stipulates that any tax liability incurred based on an IRS tax examination will become due by the Partnership versus the partners of the Partnership. The Partnership, at its discretion, will be able to seek repayment from its partners or treat as a distribution of the individual partners’ account to satisfy this obligation. The Partnership will treat any liability incurred as a deduction to equity. As of September 30, 2019, there were no expected liabilities to be incurred under the BBA.

 

The Partnership has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Topic 740,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.This accounting guidance prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Additionally, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. The Partnership has evaluated its entity level tax positions for the yearyears ended December 31, 2016,2018 and 2017, and does not expect any material adjustments to be made. The tax yearyears 2018, 2017 and 2016 remainsremain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Partnership is subject.

 

Per Share Data — Net income or loss attributable to Limited Partners per weighted average number of limited partnership interests outstanding is calculated as follows; the net income or loss allocable to the Limited Partners divided by the weighted average number of limited partnership interests outstanding during the period.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions — The Partnership has designated the United States of America dollar as the functional currency for the Partnership’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, certain assets and liabilities are translated at either the reporting period exchange rates or the historical exchange rates, revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period, and all transaction gains or losses are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Depreciation— The Partnership records depreciation expense on equipment when the lease is classified as an operating lease. In order to calculate depreciation, the Partnership first determines the depreciable equipment cost, which is the cost less the estimated residual value. The estimated residual value is the Partnership’s estimate of the value of the equipment at lease termination. Depreciation expense is recorded by applying the straight-line method of depreciation to the depreciable equipment cost over the lease term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In AugustJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2016-13,StatementFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash PaymentsCredit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-15”2016-13”), which provides guidancerequires credit losses on howmost financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain cash receipts and cash payments areother instruments to be presentedmeasured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. Current US GAAP is based on an incurred loss model that delays recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred. Accordingly, it is anticipated that credit losses will be recognized earlier under the CECL model than under the incurred loss model. ASU 2016-13 is currently effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and classified inmust be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2019, the statement of cash flows.FASB decided to add a project to its technical agenda to propose staggered effective dates for certain accounting standards, including ASU 2016-13. The adoption ofFASB has approved an approach that ASU 2016-15 becomes2016-13 will be effective for Public Business Entities that are SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies such as the Partnership, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including smaller reporting companies like the Partnership, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1,after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all entities, early adoption will continue to be permitted; that is, early adoption is allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoptionthose fiscal years (that is, permitted. An entity will apply the amendments within ASU 2016-15 using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.effective January 1, 2019, for calendar-year-end companies). The Partnership is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15this guidance on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities, (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to Leases Analysis)the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(“ASU 2016-02”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years and earlyyears. Early adoption is permitted.The standard ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, and makingmakes targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.The Partnership is currently evaluating thehas adopted ASU 2016-02 and has determined there was no significant impact of this guidance on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

8. Indemnifications

The Partnership enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is not known.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts of various types, including lease contracts, contracts for the sale or purchase of lease assets, loan agreements and management contracts. It is prevalent industry practice for most contracts of any significant value to include provisions that each of the contracting parties, in addition to assuming liability for breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants that are part of the underlying contractual obligations, to also assume an obligation to indemnify and hold the other contractual party harmless for such breaches, and for harm caused by such party’s gross negligence and willful misconduct, including, in certain instances, certain costs and expenses arising from the contract. Generally, to the extent these contracts are performed in the ordinary course of business under the reasonable business judgment of the General Partner and the Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager knows of no facts or circumstances that would make the Partnership’s contractual commitments outside standard mutual covenants applicable to commercial transactions between businesses. Accordingly, the Partnership believes that these indemnification obligations are made in the ordinary course of business as part of standard commercial and industry practice, and that any potential liability under the Partnership’s similar commitments is remote. Should any such indemnification obligation become payable, the Partnership would separately record and/or disclose such liability in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Overview

 

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 14, 2016. Our partnership operates under a structure which we pool the capital invested by our partners. This pool of capital is then used to invest in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment and other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams and project financings. The pooled capital contributions are also used to pay fees and expenses associated with our organization and to fund a capital reserve.

 

Our principal investment strategy is to invest in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-savings) equipment with high in-place value and long, relative to the investment term, economic life and project financings. We expect to achieve our investment strategy by making investments in equipment already subject to lease or originating equipment leases in such equipment, which will include: (i) purchasing equipment and leasing it to third-party end users; (ii) providing equipment and other asset financing; (iii) acquiring equipment subject to lease and (iv) acquiring ownership rights (residual value interests) in leased equipment at lease expiration. From time to time, we may also purchase equipment and sell it directly to our leasing customers.

 

Many of our investments will be structured as full payout or operating leases. Full payout leases generally are leases under which the rent over the initial term of the lease will return our invested capital plus an appropriate return without consideration of the residual value, and where the lessee may acquire the equipment or other assets at the expiration of the lease term. Operating leases generally are leases under which the aggregate non-cancelable rental payments during the original term of the lease, on a net present value basis, are not sufficient to recover the purchase price of the equipment or other assets leased under the lease.

 

We also intend to invest by way of loans, participation agreements and residual sharing agreements where we would acquire an interest in a pool of equipment or other assets, or rights to the equipment or other assets, at a future date. We also may structure investments as project financings that are secured by, among other things, essential use equipment and/or assets. Finally, we may use other investment structures that our Investment Manager believes will provide us with the appropriate level of security, collateralization, and flexibility to optimize our return on our investment while protecting against downside risk, such as vendor and rental programs. In many cases, the structure will include us holding title to or a priority or controlling position in the equipment or other asset.

15

Although the final composition of our portfolio cannot be determined at this stage, we expect to invest in equipment and other assets that are considered essential use or core to a business or operation in the agricultural, energy, environmental, medical, manufacturing, technology, and transportation industries. Our Investment Manager may identify other assets or industries that meet our investment objectives. We expect to invest in equipment, other assets and project financings located primarily within the United States of America and the European Union but may also make investments in other parts of the world.

 

We are currently in the Offering and Operating Period. The Partnership elected to close the Offering Period will expire on the earlier of raising $250,000,000 in Limited Partner contributions (25,000,000 units at $10 per Unit) or August 11, 2018, which is two years from the date we were declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). unless extended by our General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months.March 31, 2019. During the Operating Period, we will invest most of the net proceeds from our offering in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment, other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams and project financings. The Operating periodPeriod began on the date we admitted our first Limited Partners, at the initial closing, which occurred on October 3, 2016 and will last for four years from that date unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. At our initial closing, we reimbursed our Investment Manager for a portion of the fees and expenses associated with our organization and offering which they previously paid on our behalf and we funded a small capital reserve. The Liquidation Period, which follows the conclusion of the Operating Period, is the period in which we will sell assets in the ordinary course of business and will last two years, unless it is extended, at the sole discretion of the General Partner.

 

Our General Partner, our Investment Manager and their affiliates, including SecuritiesAmerican Elm in its capacity as our selling agent and certain non-affiliates (namely, Selling Dealers) receive fees and compensation from the offering of our Units, including the following, with any and all compensation paid to our General Partner solely in cash. We pay an underwriting fee of 2% of the gross proceeds of the offering (excluding proceeds, if any, we receive from the sale of our Units to our General Partner or its affiliates) to our selling agent or selling agents. While SecuritiesAmerican Elm initially acts as our exclusive selling agent, we may engage additional selling agents in the future. From these underwriting fees, a selling agent may pay Selling Dealers, a non-accountable marketing fee based upon such factors as the volume of sales of such Selling Dealers, the level of marketing support provided by such participating dealers and the assistance of such Selling Dealers in marketing the offering, or to reimburse representatives of such Selling Dealers for the costs and expenses of attending our educational conferences and seminars. This fee will vary, depending upon separately negotiated agreements with each Selling Dealer. In addition, we pay a sales commission to Selling Dealers up to 5% of the gross proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds, if any, we receive from the sale of our Units to our General Partner or its affiliates).

 

Our General Partner receives an organizational and offering expense allowance of up to 1.5% of our offering proceeds to reimburse it for expenses incurred in preparing us for registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws and subsequently offering and selling our Units. The organizational and offering expense allowance will be paid out of the proceeds of the offering. The organizational and offering expense allowance will not exceed the actual fees and expenses incurred by our General Partner and its affiliates. Because organizational and offering expenses will be paid as and to the extent they are incurred, organizational and offering expenses may be drawn disproportionately to the gross proceeds of each closing.

 

During our Operating Period, our Investment Manager will receive a structuring fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of each cash investment made, including reinvestments, payable on the date each such investment is made.

 

During our Operating Period and our Liquidation Period, our Investment Manager receives a management fee in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 2.5% per annum of the aggregate offering proceeds, payable monthly in advance or (ii) $62,500 per month.

 

Our General Partner will initially receive 1% of all distributed distributable cash. Our General Partner has a Promotional Interest in us equal to 20% of all distributed distributable cash after we have provided a return to our Limited Partners of their respective capital contributions plus an 8% per annum, compounded annually, cumulative return on their capital contributions.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

An understanding of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires our General Partner and our Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates will primarily include the determination of allowance for notes and leases, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses and the estimated useful lives and residual values of the leased equipment we acquire. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition

 

Each equipment lease we enter into is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, which is determined at lease inception, based upon the terms of each lease, or when there are significant changes to the lease terms. We capitalize initial direct costs associated with the origination and funding of lease assets. Initial direct costs include both internal costs (e.g., labor and overhead), if any, and external broker fees incurred with the lease origination. Costs related to leases that are not consummated are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs and are expensed as incurred as acquisition expense. For a finance lease, initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. For an operating lease, the initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated over the lease term.

For finance leases, we record, at lease inception, the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at lease termination, the initial direct costs related to the lease, if any, and the related unearned income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable, plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term. Billed operating lease receivables are included in accounts receivable until collected. Accounts receivable is stated at its estimated net realizable value. Deferred revenue is the difference between the timing of the receivables billed and the income recognized on the straight-line basis.

 

Our Investment Manager has an investment committee that approves each new equipment lease and other financing transaction. As part of its process, the investment committee determines the residual value, if any, to be used once the investment has been approved. The factors considered in determining the residual value include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment considered, how the equipment is integrated into the potential lessee’s business, the length of the lease, the industry in which the potential lessee operates and the secondary market value of the equipment. Residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with our impairment review policy.

 

17

The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset will be utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the marketplace are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. The residual value is calculated using information from various external sources, such as trade publications, auction data, equipment dealers, wholesalers and industry experts, as well as inspection of the physical asset and other economic indicators.

 

Asset Impairments

 

The significant assets in our investment portfolio are periodically reviewed, no less frequently than annually or when indicators of impairment exist, to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If there is an indication of impairment, we will estimate the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash in-flows expected to be generated by an asset less the future out-flows expected to be necessary to obtain those in-flows. If an impairment is determined to exist, the impairment loss will be measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and recorded in the statement of operations in the period the determination is made. The events or changes in circumstances that generally indicate that an asset may be impaired are, (i) the estimated fair value of the underlying equipment is less than its carrying value, (ii) the lessee is experiencing financial difficulties and (iii) it does not appear likely that the estimated proceeds from the disposition of the asset will be sufficient to satisfy the residual position in the asset. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the level of future rents, the residual value expected to be realized upon disposition of the asset, estimated downtime between re-leasing events and the amount of re-leasing costs. Our Investment Manager’s review for impairment includes a consideration of the existence of impairment indicators including third-party appraisals, published values for similar assets, recent transactions for similar assets, adverse changes in market conditions for specific asset types and the occurrence of significant adverse changes in general industry and market conditions that could affect the fair value of the asset.

 

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable

 

Equipment notes and loans receivable are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the outstanding principal balance net of any unamortized deferred fees, premiums or discounts on purchased notes and loans. Costs to originated notes, if any, are reported as other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unearned income, discounts and premiums, if any, are amortized to interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest rate method. Equipment notes and loans receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, we periodically review the creditworthiness of companies with payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon the Investment Manager’s judgment, accounts may be placed in a non-accrual status. Accounts on a non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and we believe recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. Revenue on non-accrual accounts is recognized only when cash has been received.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In AugustJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2016-13,StatementFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash PaymentsCredit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-15”2016-13”), which provides guidancerequires credit losses on howmost financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain cash receipts and cash payments areother instruments to be presentedmeasured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. Current US GAAP is based on an incurred loss model that delays recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred. Accordingly, it is anticipated that credit losses will be recognized earlier under the CECL model than under the incurred loss model. ASU 2016-13 is currently effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and classified inmust be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

Business Overview

 

Our Offering periodPeriod commenced on August 11, 2016 and will last until the earlier of (i) August 11, 2018, which is two years from the commencement of our Offering Period, unless extended by our General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months, or (ii) the date that we have raised $250,000,000.concluded on March 31, 2019. We are currently in negotiations with additional Selling Dealers to offer our Units for sale. We have beenwere approved for sale under Blue Sky regulations in 49 states and the District of Columbia. During the Offering Period, it is anticipated that the majority of our cash inflows will bewere derived from financing activities and be the direct result of capital contributions from Limited Partners.

 

During our Operating Period, which began on October 3, 2016, the date of our initial closing, we will use the majority of our net offering proceeds from Limited Partner capital contributions to acquire our initial investments. As our investments mature, we anticipate reinvesting the cash proceeds in additional investments in leased equipment and financing transactions, to the extent that the cash will not be needed for expenses, reserves and distributions to our Limited Partners. During this time-frame we expect both rental income and finance income to increase substantially as well as related expenses such as depreciation and amortization. During the Operating Period, we believe the majority of our cash outflows will be from investing activities as we acquire additional investments and to a lesser extend from financing activities from our paying quarterly distributions to our Limited Partners. Our cash flow from operations is expected to increase, primarily from the collection of rental and interest payments.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

We are currently in both our Offering Period and our Operating Period. The Offering Period iswas designated as the period in which we raiseraised capital from investors. During this period, we expect to generategenerated the majority of our cash inflow from financing activities though the sale of our Units to investors. Through September 30, 2017, we2019, the Partnership admitted 206617 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $10,509,039$25,371,709 resulting in the sale of 1,050,903.882,537,170.91 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $10,059,849$24,718,035 and applied $449,190$653,674 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 44,919.0365,367.46 additional Units.

 

We have also entered our Operating Period, which is defined as the period in which we invest the net proceeds from the Offering Period into business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment and other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams. During this period we anticipate substantial cash outflows from investing activities as we acquire leased and financed equipment. We also expect our operating activities to generate cash inflows during this time as we collect rental and interest payments from the leased and financed assets we acquire.

Sources of Liquidity

 

We are currently in both our Offering Period and our Operating Period. The Offering Period iswas the time frame in which we raiseraised capital contributions from Limited Partners through the sale of our Units. As such, we expect that during our Offering Period a substantial portion of our cash inflows willwere be from financing activities. The Operating Period is the time frame in which we acquire equipment under lease or enter into other equipment financing transactions. During this time period we anticipate that a substantial portion of our cash outflows will be for investing activities. We believe that cash inflows will be sufficient to finance our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including quarterly distributions to our Limited Partners, general and administrative expenses, fees paid to our Investment Manager and new investment opportunities.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used inprovided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 was $531,150$2,828,651 and was primarily driven by the following factors; a net lossincome for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 of approximately $763,000, and finance income of approximately $55,000. Offsetting these fluctuations was depreciation expense of approximately $72,000 and$404,000, receipt of approximately $261,000$2,833,000 in minimum rental payments from finance leases, acquired during the period.receipt of approximately $325,000 in interest income payments from collateralized loans receivable, an increase in security deposit payable of $49,000, an increase in deferred revenue of approximately $270,000 and depreciation of approximately $248,000. Offsetting these fluctuations was, finance income of approximately $957,000 and accrued interest income of approximately $335,000. We expect our accounts payable and accrued expenses will fluctuate from period to period primarily due to the timing of payments related to lease and financings transactions we will enter into. We anticipate that as we enter into additional equipment leasing and financing transactions we will generate greater net cash inflows from operations principally from rental payments received from lessees.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

Commitment and Contingencies

 

Our income, losses and distributions are allocated 99% to our Limited Partners and 1% to our General Partner until the Limited Partners have received total distributions equal to each Limited Partners’ capital contribution plus an 8%, compounded annually, cumulative return on each Limited Partners’ capital contribution. After such time, income, losses and distributions will be allocated 80% to our Limited Partners and 20% to our General Partner.

 

We enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is not known.

22

 

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts of various types, including lease contracts, contracts for the sale or purchase of leased assets, loan agreements and management contracts. It is prevalent industry practice for most contracts of any significant value to include provisions that each of the contracting parties, in addition to assuming liability for breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants that are part of the underlying contractual obligations, to also assume an obligation to indemnify and hold the other contractual party harmless for such breaches, and for harm caused by such party’s gross negligence and willful misconduct, including, in certain instances, certain costs and expenses arising from the contract. Generally, to the extent these contracts are performed in the ordinary course of business under the reasonable business judgment of our General Partner and our Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. Should any such indemnification obligation become payable, we would separately record and/or disclose such liability in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,2019, our General Partner and Investment Manager carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our General Partner and Investment Manager, including its Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our General Partner’s and Investment Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that our General Partner’s and Investment Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

In designing and evaluating our General Partner’s and Investment Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures, our General Partner and Investment Manager recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our General Partner’s and Investment Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.

Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting

 

Our General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Partnership; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our General Partner and our Investment Manager have assessed the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017.2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework.”

 

Based on their assessment, our General Partner and our Investment Manager believe that, as of September 30, 2017,2019, its internal control over financial reporting is effective.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

ThereBeginning January 1, 2018, we implemented ASU 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)and ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date. Although the adoption of the new revenue standard had no significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, we did implement changes to our controls related to revenue. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, enhanced contract review requirements, and other ongoing monitoring activities. These controls were designed to provide assurance at a reasonable level of the fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Beginning January 1, 2019, we implemented ASU 2016-02Leases (Topic 842), although the adoption of the new leases standard had no additionalsignificant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, we did implement changes to our controls related to leases. As part of the implementation process, we assessed our lease arrangements and evaluated practical expedients and accounting policy elections to meet the reporting requirements of this standard. We also evaluated the changes in controls and processes that were necessary to implement the new standard, and no material changes were required. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’ which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. There was no other change in our General Partner’s or our Investment Manager’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,2019, that has materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, theirour internal control over financial reporting.
