Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Organization – SQN AIF IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on August 10, 2012, as a Delaware limited partnership and 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 lease and (iv) acquiring ownership rights (residual value interests) in leased equipment at lease expiration. The Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2036.

Nature of Operations – The principal investment strategy of the Partnership is to invest in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-savings) equipment or other physical assets with high in-place value and long, relative to the investment term, economic life and project financings. The Partnership executes its 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 and project financings; (iii) acquiring equipment subject to lease 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 SQN Capital Management, 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 SQN AIF IV GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. 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.

On January 19, 2015, the Investment Manager, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to acquire the leasing division of Summit Asset Management Limited (“Summit Asset Management”). Upon the acquisition, the Origination and Servicing Agreement between the Investment Manager and Summit Asset Management was terminated. From January 1, 2015, all activities of Summit Asset Management are conducted under SQN Capital Management (UK) Limited (“SQN UK”). Where Summit Asset Management was previously the servicer on transactions sold to the Partnership, SQN UK will now act as servicer.

On June 3, 2015, SQN Alpha, LLC (“Alpha”), a special purpose entity which is 32.5% owned by the Partnership and 67.5% owned by SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC (“SQN PAC”), acquired a promissory note with a principal amount equal to $2,650,000. The promissory note accrues interest at the rate of 11.1% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and matures on June 30, 2020. The promissory note is secured by a pledge of shares in an investment portfolio of insurance companies under common control of the third party which include equipment leases, direct hard assets and infrastructure investments, and other securities. On June 3, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between SQN PAC (“Participation A”), the Partnership (“Participation B”), Alpha and SQN Capital Management, LLC. Under the agreement, Alpha created two collateralized participation interests for the collateral (“Promissory Note”); Participation A’s principal contribution is $1,788,750 and accrues interest at 9% per annum and Participation B’s principal contribution is $861,250 and accrues interest at 15.05% per annum. SQN Capital Management, LLC was appointed as a servicer for the Promissory Note. Participation A’s interest is senior to Participation B’s interest. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Alpha, the Partnership consolidates Alpha into the condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC’s 67.5% investment in Alpha is presented as non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 2, 2015, the Partnership formed a special purpose entity SQN Juliet, LLC (“Juliet”), a limited liability company registered in the state of Delaware which is wholly owned by the Partnership. On December 29, 2015, Juliet entered into a loan agreement with a third party to borrow $3,071,000 for the funding of two loan facilities. The loan accrues interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and matured on December 29, 2016. On April 22, 2016, this loan was amended and extended as part of the amended participation agreement. On December 31, 2015, Juliet extended two separate loan facilities to two borrowers. The borrowers are both subsidiaries of a UK based parent company that provides small and medium sized secured business loans (“Just Loans”). Each facility provides financing up to a maximum borrowing of £5,037,500 or together a total of £10,075,000 and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The funds can be drawn down in increments of up to £1,000,000 per month per facility with the exception of the first draws which were each in the amount of £1,037,500 in order to fund a certain third party fee of £37,500. The funds can be drawn up to the one year anniversary of the loan facilities or December 31, 2016 (“Availability Date”). The loan is repayable in monthly interest only payments due on the last day of each month. Principal is due nine months after the Availability Date or September 30, 2017 (“Termination Date”). The loans are secured by share pledges of the borrowers, a guaranty from the UK based parent company, and the underlying loan portfolio that Just Loans generates. In February 2016, the loan facilities were amended to include an annual fee, payable within 15 days of end of calendar year, equal to 30% of the interest paid or payable in the immediately preceding calendar year. On March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) for $6,416,092. In connection with the novation agreement, the Termination Date was extended to September 30, 2018. In December 2018, the Termination Date was extended to December 31, 2019. On December 29, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between a third party (“Juliet Participation A”), the Partnership (“Juliet Participation B”), and Juliet. In connection with the participation agreement, the Partnership assigned to Juliet various finance leases and equipment notes receivables with a total value equal to $4,866,750. Under the agreement, Juliet created two collateralized participation interests for the underlying loans (“Underlying Loans”); Juliet Participation A’s principal balance is $3,071,000 and accrues interest at 8.5% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance is the value of their assigned finance leases and equipment notes receivable of $4,866,750. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On April 22, 2016, the participation agreement dated December 29, 2015 between Juliet Participation A, Juliet Participation B, and Juliet was amended and restated. In connection with the amended participation agreement, Juliet Participation A funded Juliet cash of approximately $8,511,000 and assigned their interests of approximately $3,986,000 in a loan facility for a wood pellet business in Texas, which along with the outstanding principal payable balance of approximately $2,124,000 on the Just Loans transaction resulted in a Juliet Participation A balance of approximately $14,621,000. Under the amended agreement, Juliet Participation A’s principal balance accrues interest at 6% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance accrues interest at 12% per annum. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On December 13, 2016, Juliet advanced a total of $740,160 to the Just Loans borrowers. On March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) and on March 31, 2017, Juliet received cash proceeds of $6,416,092 from SQN AFI for the 85% interest. The loan note had a net book value of $6,273,670 resulting in a U.S. GAAP gain of $142,422. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $374,610 to the Just Loans borrowers. On April 28, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $370,187 to the Just Loans borrowers.

On December 16, 2015, SQN Marine, LLC (“Marine”), a special purpose vehicle which is wholly owned by the Partnership, entered into a sale and assignment of partnership interest agreement with the Partnership and a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, Marine acquired an 88.20% (90% of 98%) economic interest in a portfolio of container feeder vessels, for an aggregate investment of $28,266,789. Marine contributed cash of $12,135,718 and entered into two loans payable with separate third parties of $7,500,000 and $9,604,091. Marine acquired their economic interest in the vessels through a limited partnership interest in CONT Feeder Portfolio GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany based limited partnership (“CONT Feeder”), which acquired and operates the container feeder vessels, and entered into a separate note payable with an unrelated third party of $14,375,654. Marine bears the risks and rewards of ownership of CONT Feeder and therefore Marine consolidates the financial statements of CONT Feeder. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Marine, the Partnership consolidates Marine into the condensed consolidated financial statements. A third party contributed $3,140,754 to purchase a 10% share of CONT Feeder which is presented as non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated financial statements.On January 7, 2015, the Partnership acquired a junior participation interest in a portfolio of eight helicopters for $1,500,000. The Partnership, SQN PAC, SQN Asset Finance Income Fund Limited (“SQN AFIF”), a Guernsey incorporated closed ended investment company, a fund managed by the Partnership’s Investment Manager and a third party formed a special purpose entity SQN Helo whose sole purpose is to acquire the helicopter portfolio. SQN Helo is the sole owner of eight special purpose entities each of which own a helicopter. The purchase price of the helicopter portfolio was approximately $23,201,000 comprised of approximately $11,925,000 of cash payments and the assumption of approximately $11,276,000 of nonrecourse indebtedness. SQN PAC also acquired a junior participation interest in SQN Helo for $1,500,000. The senior participation interests in SQN Helo were acquired by SQN AFIF and the third party. The Partnership and SQN PAC each owned 50% of SQN Helo. The Partnership accounted for its investment in SQN Helo using the equity method. In November 2016, a lessee of five helicopters filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 and restructured the leases. As of December 31, 2016, the Partnership had advanced a total of $1,465,000. On January 19, 2017, the Partnership bought a debt position of a third party lender to SQN Helo for $3,325,506, which increased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 76%. On September 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Partnership received a distribution from SQN Helo of $249,287 and $250,000, respectively, which decreased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 75%. As a result of the increase in the Partnership’s controlling financial interest and since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of SQN Helo, the Partnership consolidates SQN Helo into the condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC owns a 25% share of SQN Helo which is presented as due to SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 is currently in the Liquidation Period. The Offering Period concluded on April 2, 2016, which was three years from the date the Partnership was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 Operating Period began on the date of the Partnership’s initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and concluded on May 29, 2017. The Liquidation Period, which began on May 30, 2017, 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.

American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC (f/k/a SQN Securities, LLC) (“American Elm”), a Delaware limited liability company, was the Partnership’s selling agent, and received an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds from Limited Partners’ capital contributions (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership received from the sale of its Units to the General Partner or its affiliates). On January 7, 2019, American Elm changed its name from SQN Securities, LLC to American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC. In addition, the Partnership paid a 7% sales commission to broker-dealers unaffiliated with the General Partner who sold the Partnership’s Units, on a best efforts basis. When the 7% sales commission was not required to be paid, the Partnership applied the proceeds that would otherwise be payable as sales commission toward the purchase of additional fractional Units at $1,000 per Unit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Partnership did not make any cash distributions to its Limited Partners.

From May 29, 2013 through March 31, 2019, the Partnership has admitted 1,508 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $74,965,064 resulting in the sale of 74,965.07 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $72,504,327 and applied $2,460,737 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 2,460.74 additional Units.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete condensed consolidated 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 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 audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto contained in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.

10

Principles of Consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its entities, 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.

Non-controlling interest represents the minority equity holders’ investment in Alpha and CONT Feeder plus the minority’s share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest.

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 condensed 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 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 a 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 an international financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits. The Partnership, through Summit Asset Management Limited, maintains an unrestricted bank account at a major financial institution in the United Kingdom for purposes of receiving payments and funding transactions in Pound Sterling.

11

Credit Risk — In the normal course of business, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Partnerships’ 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 lessees’ business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. 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.

12

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 March 31, 2019, 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. At December 31, 2018, an impairment was determined to exist for a finance lease and equipment notes receivables and an impairment loss was recorded, there is a provision for lease, note and loan losses of $6,608,386.

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable — Equipment notes and loans receivable are reported in the 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 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.

Initial Direct Costs — The Partnership capitalizes initial direct costs associated with the origination and funding of lease assets. These costs are amortized on a lease by lease basis over the actual contract term of each lease using the effective interest rate method for finance leases and the straight-line method for operating leases. Upon disposal of the underlying lease assets, both the initial direct costs and the associated accumulated amortization are relieved. 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.

Acquisition Expense — Acquisition expense represents costs which include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, cost of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses related to the selection and acquisition of leased equipment which are incurred by the Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as amended. As these costs are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs, such amounts are expensed as incurred.

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.

13

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 March 31, 2019, there were no expected liabilities to be incurred under the BBA.

The Partnership has adopted the provisions of 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 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and does not expect any material adjustments to be made. The tax years 2018, 2017 and 2016 remain 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, and all consolidated entities, 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured 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 effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, and makes 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 has adopted ASU 2016-02 and has determined there was no significant impact on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

14

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

3. Related Party Transactions

The General Partner is responsible for the operations of the Partnership and the Investment Manager makes all investment decisions and manages the investment portfolio of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the General Partner a fee for organizational and offering costs not to exceed 2% of all capital contributions received by the Partnership. 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. The General Partner also has a promotional interest in the Partnership equal to 20% of all distributed distributable cash, after the Partnership has provided an 8% cumulative return, compounded annually, to the Limited Partners on their capital contributions. The General Partner has a 1% interest in the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership. The General Partner will initially receive 1% of all distributed distributable cash, which was accrued at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Partnership pays the Investment Manager during the Offering Period, Operating Period and the Liquidation Period a management fee equal to or the greater of, (i) 2.5% per annum of the aggregate offering proceeds, or (ii) $125,000 monthly, until such time as an amount equal to at least 15% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions have been returned to the Limited Partners, after which the monthly management fee will equal 100% of the management fee as initially calculated above, less 1% for each additional 1% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions returned to them. Such amounts are measured on the last day of each month. The management fee is paid regardless of the performance of the Partnership and will be adjusted in the future to reflect the total equity raised. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Partnership paid $375,000 in management fee expense to the Investment Manager.

American Elm is a Delaware limited liability company and in its capacity as the Partnership’s selling agent received an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds from Limited Partners’ capital contributions (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership received from the sale of the Partnership’s Units to the General Partner or its affiliates).

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018, the Partnership incurred no underwriting discounts or fees, and made no payments to Securities as the offering period concluded on April 2, 2016.

6. Equipment Notes Receivable

Manufacturing / Solar Equipment

On June 29, 2016, SQN Gamma LLC, assigned its commitment interest in a loan facility, under a Credit Agreement dated November 17, 2015, to the Partnership and to Juliet in the amount of $3,893,165 and $2,500,000, respectively.

Each facility provides financing up to a maximum borrowing of £5,037,500 or together a total of £10,075,000 and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The funds can be drawn down in increments of up to £1,000,000 per month per facility with the exception of the first draws which were each in the amount of £1,037,500 in order to fund a certain third party fee of £37,500. The loan is repayable in monthly interest only payments due on the last day of each month. Principal is due nine months after December 31, 2016 on September 30, 2017 (“Termination Date”). The loans are secured by share pledges of the borrowers, a guaranty from the UK based parent company, and the underlying loan portfolio that Just Loans generates. In February 2016, the loan facilities were amended to include an annual fee, payable within 15 days of end of calendar year, equal to 30% of the interest paid or payable in the immediately preceding calendar year. In connection with the novation agreement, the Termination Date was extended to September 30, 2018. In December 2018, the Termination Date was extended to December 31, 2019.

16. 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, 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 Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager know 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.

17. Subsequent Events

On April 17, 2019, Juliet made an aggregate total payment of $2,000,000 to the senior participants to paydown the loan payable balance.

On April 17, 2019, Juliet made an interest payment of $489,942 to SQN AFIF for the non-recourse participation interest payable balance.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 10, 2012. Our fund 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 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.

26

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 Liquidation Period. The Offering Period concluded on April 2, 2016, which is three years from the date we were declared effective by the SEC. 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 Period began on the date of our initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and concluded on May 29, 2017. The Liquidation Period, which began on May 30, 2017, is the period in which we will sell our 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 Securities in its capacity as our selling agent and certain non-affiliates (namely, Selling Dealers) received 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 paid an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds, if any, we received from the sale of our Units to our General Partner or its affiliates) to our selling agent or selling agents.

Our General Partner receives an organizational and offering expense allowance of up to 2% 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 this 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 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, or (ii) $125,000, payable monthly, until such time as an amount equal to at least 15% of our Limited Partners’ capital contributions has been returned to them, after which the monthly management fee will equal 100% of the management fee as initially calculated above, less 1% for each additional 1% of our Limited Partners’ capital contributions returned to them, such amounts to be measured on the last day of each 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.

Recent Significant Transactions

International Leasing Company

During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Partnership funded an additional total of $275,000 under this wholesale financing arrangement. The loans accrue interest at rate of 10% per annum and are secured by industrial and manufacturing equipment subject to equipment leases.

During the period ended March 31, 2019, SQN AFIF funded an additional total of $2,035,318 in the form of a senior participation interest to the international leasing company. The loans accrue interest at rate of 10.75% per annum and are secured by industrial and manufacturing equipment subject to equipment leases.

Critical Accounting Policies

An understanding of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 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.

27

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 project 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 and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. Residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with our impairment review policy.

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.

28

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 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured 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 effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, and makes 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 has adopted ASU 2016-02 and has determined there was no significant impact on its condensed interim 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 accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our Offering Period terminated on April 2, 2016, after which time we no longer accepted Limited Partner capital contributions. During the Offering Period the majority of our cash inflows were from Limited Partners purchasing our Units. After the termination of our Offering Period, the majority of our cash inflows are expected to come from rental payments, interest payments, and sales proceeds from our various equipment investments.

We are currently in the Liquidation Period. During the Operating Period, we invested 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. Through April 2, 2016, we admitted 1,508 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $74,965,064 resulting in the sale of 74,965.07 Units. We received cash contributions of $72,504,327 and applied $2,460,737 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 2,460.74 additional Units.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2018 is summarized as follows:

29

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we earned $252,000 in rental income primarily from various operating leases of helicopters from SQN Helo. We also recognized $1,434,317 in interest income, the majority of which was generated by the equipment notes and collateralized loans receivable. We recognized $6,103 in finance income from various finance leases. We also recognized income of $3,781,809 from our equipment investment through SPV. The decrease in our total revenue in 2019 as compared to 2018 is a result of the decrease in our finance and interest income and a decrease in income from our equipment investment through SPV from the Marine transaction in 2019 compared to 2018.

Our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (“2019 Quarter”) as compared to three months ended March 31, 2018 (“2018 Quarter”) are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019		Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
	(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Expenses:
Management fees — Investment Manager	$	375,000	$	375,000
Depreciation and amortization		173,822		344,858
Professional fees		157,061		117,505
Administration expense		9,284		15,256
Interest expense		1,105,083		1,133,890
Other expenses		34,643		6,378
Expenses from equipment investment through SPV (including depreciation expense of approx. $677,000)		4,870,781		4,321,068
Total Expenses	$	6,725,674	$	6,313,955
Foreign currency transaction losses (gains)	$	52,892	$	(189,925	)

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 we incurred $6,725,674 and $6,313,955 in total expenses, respectively. There was no increase in management fees paid to our Investment Manager in 2019 as compared to 2018. We pay our Investment Manager a management fee during the Operating Period and the Liquidation Period equal to the greater of, (i) 2.5% per annum of the aggregate offering proceeds, or (ii) $125,000, payable monthly, until such time as an amount equal to at least 15% of our Limited Partners’ capital contributions have been returned to them, after which the monthly management fee will equal 100% of the management fee as initially calculated above, less 1% for each additional 1% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions returned to them, such amounts to be measured on the last day of each month. We recognized $173,822 in depreciation and amortization expense. We also incurred $157,061 in professional fees. In conjunction with the Marine, Juliet and Helo transactions, we assumed approximately $17,104,000, $26,600,000 and $9,300,000, respectively in loans payable with various third parties which resulted in $1,105,083 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We also incurred expenses of $4,870,781 from our equipment investment through SPV. The decrease in depreciation and amortization in 2019 as compared to 2018 is a result of the decrease in operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Net Income

As a result of the factors discussed above, we reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $1,452,801, prior to the allocation for non-controlling interest as compared to a net loss of $673,993 for the 2018 Quarter. The non-controlling interest represents the 67.5% investment by SQN PAC in the Alpha transaction and the 10% investment by a third party in the CONT Feeder transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the non-controlling interest recognized net income of $784 due to its interest in Alpha and a net loss of $108,897 due to its interest in CONT Feeder.

Financing activities	$	(1,090,429	)	$	(2,672,868	)

Sources of Liquidity

We are currently in the Liquidation Period. The Liquidation Period is the time-frame in which we sell equipment under lease in the normal course of business. During this time period we anticipate that a substantial portion of our cash outflows will be from operating activities and the majority of our cash inflows are expected to be from operating and investing activities. We believe that the cash inflows will be sufficient to finance our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including semi-annual distributions to our Limited Partners, general and administrative expenses, and fees paid to our Investment Manager.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $681,185 and was primarily driven by the following factors; (i) an increase of approximately $892,000 in minimum rents receivable for finance leases acquired primarily from consolidation of SQN Helo (ii) interest payments received of approximately $1,056,000 from equipment notes and collateralized loans receivable (iii) an increase in accrued interest on note payable of approximately $532,000 and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $174,000. Offsetting these fluctuations was a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $364,000, as well as increases in finance accrued interest of approximately $6,000, an increase in accrued interest receivable of approximately $1,330,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $138,000 from the Marine transaction. 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 we will generate greater net cash inflows from operations principally from interest payments received from equipment notes receivable and from rental payments received from lessees.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $1,603,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This was related to our equipment investment through SPV of approximately $720,000. We paid approximately $575,000 for the acquisition of our collateralized loans receivable and received approximately $1,325,000 from our collateralized loans receivable. The borrowers of our equipment notes receivable repaid approximately $134,000 during the period.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,090,429 and was primarily due to principal payments of approximately $1,090,000.

Distributions

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we did not make any cash distributions to our Limited Partners. We did not make a cash distribution to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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.

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts of various types, including lease contracts, contracts for the sale or purchase of lease assets, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

In conjunction with the Smart Safes transaction, we appointed the leasing company to remarket the equipment after the expiration of each lease schedule. We are not required to pay the seller a remarketing fee when remarketing proceeds are received.

Contractual Obligations

None.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not Applicable for Smaller Reporting Companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, 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 financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the 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 March 31, 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.”

33

Based on their assessment, our General Partner and our Investment Manager believe that, as of March 31, 2019, its internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Beginning January 1, 2018, we implemented ASU 2014-09 Revenue 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 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), although the adoption of the new leases standard had no significant 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 internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Nature of Operations

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Organization – SQN AIF IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on August 10, 2012, as a Delaware limited partnership and 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 lease and (iv) acquiring ownership rights (residual value interests) in leased equipment at lease expiration. The Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2036.

Nature of Operations – The principal investment strategy of the Partnership is to invest in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-savings) equipment or other physical assets with high in-place value and long, relative to the investment term, economic life and project financings. The Partnership executes its 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 and project financings; (iii) acquiring equipment subject to lease 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 SQN Capital Management, 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 SQN AIF IV GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. 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.

On January 19, 2015, the Investment Manager, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to acquire the leasing division of Summit Asset Management Limited (“Summit Asset Management”). Upon the acquisition, the Origination and Servicing Agreement between the Investment Manager and Summit Asset Management was terminated. From January 1, 2015, all activities of Summit Asset Management are conducted under SQN Capital Management (UK) Limited (“SQN UK”). Where Summit Asset Management was previously the servicer on transactions sold to the Partnership, SQN UK will now act as servicer.

On June 3, 2015, SQN Alpha, LLC (“Alpha”), a special purpose entity which is 32.5% owned by the Partnership and 67.5% owned by SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC (“SQN PAC”), acquired a promissory note with a principal amount equal to $2,650,000. The promissory note accrues interest at the rate of 11.1% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and matures on June 30, 2020. The promissory note is secured by a pledge of shares in an investment portfolio of insurance companies under common control of the third party which include equipment leases, direct hard assets and infrastructure investments, and other securities. On June 3, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between SQN PAC (“Participation A”), the Partnership (“Participation B”), Alpha and SQN Capital Management, LLC. Under the agreement, Alpha created two collateralized participation interests for the collateral (“Promissory Note”); Participation A’s principal contribution is $1,788,750 and accrues interest at 9% per annum and Participation B’s principal contribution is $861,250 and accrues interest at 15.05% per annum. SQN Capital Management, LLC was appointed as a servicer for the Promissory Note. Participation A’s interest is senior to Participation B’s interest. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Alpha, the Partnership consolidates Alpha into the condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC’s 67.5% investment in Alpha is presented as non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 2, 2015, the Partnership formed a special purpose entity SQN Juliet, LLC (“Juliet”), a limited liability company registered in the state of Delaware which is wholly owned by the Partnership. On December 29, 2015, Juliet entered into a loan agreement with a third party to borrow $3,071,000 for the funding of two loan facilities. The loan accrues interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and matured on December 29, 2016. On April 22, 2016, this loan was amended and extended as part of the amended participation agreement. On December 31, 2015, Juliet extended two separate loan facilities to two borrowers. The borrowers are both subsidiaries of a UK based parent company that provides small and medium sized secured business loans (“Just Loans”). Each facility provides financing up to a maximum borrowing of £5,037,500 or together a total of £10,075,000 and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The funds can be drawn down in increments of up to £1,000,000 per month per facility with the exception of the first draws which were each in the amount of £1,037,500 in order to fund a certain third party fee of £37,500. The funds can be drawn up to the one year anniversary of the loan facilities or December 31, 2016 (“Availability Date”). The loan is repayable in monthly interest only payments due on the last day of each month. Principal is due nine months after the Availability Date or September 30, 2017 (“Termination Date”). The loans are secured by share pledges of the borrowers, a guaranty from the UK based parent company, and the underlying loan portfolio that Just Loans generates. In February 2016, the loan facilities were amended to include an annual fee, payable within 15 days of end of calendar year, equal to 30% of the interest paid or payable in the immediately preceding calendar year. On March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) for $6,416,092. In connection with the novation agreement, the Termination Date was extended to September 30, 2018. In December 2018, the Termination Date was extended to December 31, 2019. On December 29, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between a third party (“Juliet Participation A”), the Partnership (“Juliet Participation B”), and Juliet. In connection with the participation agreement, the Partnership assigned to Juliet various finance leases and equipment notes receivables with a total value equal to $4,866,750. Under the agreement, Juliet created two collateralized participation interests for the underlying loans (“Underlying Loans”); Juliet Participation A’s principal balance is $3,071,000 and accrues interest at 8.5% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance is the value of their assigned finance leases and equipment notes receivable of $4,866,750. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On April 22, 2016, the participation agreement dated December 29, 2015 between Juliet Participation A, Juliet Participation B, and Juliet was amended and restated. In connection with the amended participation agreement, Juliet Participation A funded Juliet cash of approximately $8,511,000 and assigned their interests of approximately $3,986,000 in a loan facility for a wood pellet business in Texas, which along with the outstanding principal payable balance of approximately $2,124,000 on the Just Loans transaction resulted in a Juliet Participation A balance of approximately $14,621,000. Under the amended agreement, Juliet Participation A’s principal balance accrues interest at 6% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance accrues interest at 12% per annum. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On December 13, 2016, Juliet advanced a total of $740,160 to the Just Loans borrowers. On March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) and on March 31, 2017, Juliet received cash proceeds of $6,416,092 from SQN AFI for the 85% interest. The loan note had a net book value of $6,273,670 resulting in a U.S. GAAP gain of $142,422. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $374,610 to the Just Loans borrowers. On April 28, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $370,187 to the Just Loans borrowers.

On December 16, 2015, SQN Marine, LLC (“Marine”), a special purpose vehicle which is wholly owned by the Partnership, entered into a sale and assignment of partnership interest agreement with the Partnership and a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, Marine acquired an 88.20% (90% of 98%) economic interest in a portfolio of container feeder vessels, for an aggregate investment of $28,266,789. Marine contributed cash of $12,135,718 and entered into two loans payable with separate third parties of $7,500,000 and $9,604,091. Marine acquired their economic interest in the vessels through a limited partnership interest in CONT Feeder Portfolio GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany based limited partnership (“CONT Feeder”), which acquired and operates the container feeder vessels, and entered into a separate note payable with an unrelated third party of $14,375,654. Marine bears the risks and rewards of ownership of CONT Feeder and therefore Marine consolidates the financial statements of CONT Feeder. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Marine, the Partnership consolidates Marine into the condensed consolidated financial statements. A third party contributed $3,140,754 to purchase a 10% share of CONT Feeder which is presented as non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated financial statements.On January 7, 2015, the Partnership acquired a junior participation interest in a portfolio of eight helicopters for $1,500,000. The Partnership, SQN PAC, SQN Asset Finance Income Fund Limited (“SQN AFIF”), a Guernsey incorporated closed ended investment company, a fund managed by the Partnership’s Investment Manager and a third party formed a special purpose entity SQN Helo whose sole purpose is to acquire the helicopter portfolio. SQN Helo is the sole owner of eight special purpose entities each of which own a helicopter. The purchase price of the helicopter portfolio was approximately $23,201,000 comprised of approximately $11,925,000 of cash payments and the assumption of approximately $11,276,000 of nonrecourse indebtedness. SQN PAC also acquired a junior participation interest in SQN Helo for $1,500,000. The senior participation interests in SQN Helo were acquired by SQN AFIF and the third party. The Partnership and SQN PAC each owned 50% of SQN Helo. The Partnership accounted for its investment in SQN Helo using the equity method. In November 2016, a lessee of five helicopters filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 and restructured the leases. As of December 31, 2016, the Partnership had advanced a total of $1,465,000. On January 19, 2017, the Partnership bought a debt position of a third party lender to SQN Helo for $3,325,506, which increased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 76%. On September 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Partnership received a distribution from SQN Helo of $249,287 and $250,000, respectively, which decreased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 75%. As a result of the increase in the Partnership’s controlling financial interest and since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of SQN Helo, the Partnership consolidates SQN Helo into the condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC owns a 25% share of SQN Helo which is presented as due to SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 is currently in the Liquidation Period. The Offering Period concluded on April 2, 2016, which was three years from the date the Partnership was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 Operating Period began on the date of the Partnership’s initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and concluded on May 29, 2017. The Liquidation Period, which began on May 30, 2017, 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.

American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC (f/k/a SQN Securities, LLC) (“American Elm”), a Delaware limited liability company, was the Partnership’s selling agent, and received an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds from Limited Partners’ capital contributions (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership received from the sale of its Units to the General Partner or its affiliates). On January 7, 2019, American Elm changed its name from SQN Securities, LLC to American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC. In addition, the Partnership paid a 7% sales commission to broker-dealers unaffiliated with the General Partner who sold the Partnership’s Units, on a best efforts basis. When the 7% sales commission was not required to be paid, the Partnership applied the proceeds that would otherwise be payable as sales commission toward the purchase of additional fractional Units at $1,000 per Unit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Partnership did not make any cash distributions to its Limited Partners.

From May 29, 2013 through March 31, 2019, the Partnership has admitted 1,508 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $74,965,064 resulting in the sale of 74,965.07 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $72,504,327 and applied $2,460,737 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 2,460.74 additional Units.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of SQN AIF IV, L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 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 condensed consolidated 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 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 audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto contained in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its entities, 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.

Non-controlling interest represents the minority equity holders’ investment in Alpha and CONT Feeder plus the minority’s share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest.

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 condensed 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 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 a 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 an international financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits. The Partnership, through Summit Asset Management Limited, maintains an unrestricted bank account at a major financial institution in the United Kingdom for purposes of receiving payments and funding transactions in Pound Sterling.

Credit Risk — In the normal course of business, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Partnerships’ 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 lessees’ business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. 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 March 31, 2019, 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. At December 31, 2018, an impairment was determined to exist for a finance lease and equipment notes receivables and an impairment loss was recorded, there is a provision for lease, note and loan losses of $6,608,386.

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable — Equipment notes and loans receivable are reported in the 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 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.

Initial Direct Costs — The Partnership capitalizes initial direct costs associated with the origination and funding of lease assets. These costs are amortized on a lease by lease basis over the actual contract term of each lease using the effective interest rate method for finance leases and the straight-line method for operating leases. Upon disposal of the underlying lease assets, both the initial direct costs and the associated accumulated amortization are relieved. 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.

Acquisition Expense — Acquisition expense represents costs which include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, cost of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses related to the selection and acquisition of leased equipment which are incurred by the Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as amended. As these costs are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs, such amounts are expensed as incurred.

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 March 31, 2019, there were no expected liabilities to be incurred under the BBA.

The Partnership has adopted the provisions of 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 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and does not expect any material adjustments to be made. The tax years 2018, 2017 and 2016 remain 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, and all consolidated entities, 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured 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 effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, and makes 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 has adopted ASU 2016-02 and has determined there was no significant impact on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The General Partner is responsible for the operations of the Partnership and the Investment Manager makes all investment decisions and manages the investment portfolio of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the General Partner a fee for organizational and offering costs not to exceed 2% of all capital contributions received by the Partnership. 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. The General Partner also has a promotional interest in the Partnership equal to 20% of all distributed distributable cash, after the Partnership has provided an 8% cumulative return, compounded annually, to the Limited Partners on their capital contributions. The General Partner has a 1% interest in the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership. The General Partner will initially receive 1% of all distributed distributable cash, which was accrued at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Partnership pays the Investment Manager during the Offering Period, Operating Period and the Liquidation Period a management fee equal to or the greater of, (i) 2.5% per annum of the aggregate offering proceeds, or (ii) $125,000 monthly, until such time as an amount equal to at least 15% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions have been returned to the Limited Partners, after which the monthly management fee will equal 100% of the management fee as initially calculated above, less 1% for each additional 1% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions returned to them. Such amounts are measured on the last day of each month. The management fee is paid regardless of the performance of the Partnership and will be adjusted in the future to reflect the total equity raised. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Partnership paid $375,000 in management fee expense to the Investment Manager.

American Elm is a Delaware limited liability company and in its capacity as the Partnership’s selling agent received an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds from Limited Partners’ capital contributions (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership received from the sale of the Partnership’s Units to the General Partner or its affiliates).

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018, the Partnership incurred no underwriting discounts or fees, and made no payments to Securities as the offering period concluded on April 2, 2016.

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, 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 Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager know 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of SQN AIF IV, L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 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 condensed consolidated 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 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 audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto contained in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its entities, 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.

Non-controlling interest represents the minority equity holders’ investment in Alpha and CONT Feeder plus the minority’s share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest.

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 condensed 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

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 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

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a 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 an international financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits. The Partnership, through Summit Asset Management Limited, maintains an unrestricted bank account at a major financial institution in the United Kingdom for purposes of receiving payments and funding transactions in Pound Sterling.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk — In the normal course of business, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Partnerships’ 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

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

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 lessees’ business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. 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

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 March 31, 2019, 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. At December 31, 2018, an impairment was determined to exist for a finance lease and equipment notes receivables and an impairment loss was recorded, there is a provision for lease, note and loan losses of $6,608,386.

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable

Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable — Equipment notes and loans receivable are reported in the 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 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.

Initial Direct Costs

Initial Direct Costs — The Partnership capitalizes initial direct costs associated with the origination and funding of lease assets. These costs are amortized on a lease by lease basis over the actual contract term of each lease using the effective interest rate method for finance leases and the straight-line method for operating leases. Upon disposal of the underlying lease assets, both the initial direct costs and the associated accumulated amortization are relieved. 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.

Acquisition Expense

Acquisition Expense — Acquisition expense represents costs which include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, cost of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses related to the selection and acquisition of leased equipment which are incurred by the Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as amended. As these costs are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs, such amounts are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

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 March 31, 2019, there were no expected liabilities to be incurred under the BBA.

The Partnership has adopted the provisions of 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 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and does not expect any material adjustments to be made. The tax years 2018, 2017 and 2016 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Partnership is subject.

Per Share Data

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

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

Depreciation — The Partnership, and all consolidated entities, 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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured 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 effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, and makes 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 has adopted ASU 2016-02 and has determined there was no significant impact on its condensed interim 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
