Information Technology, Medical Technology, Telecommunications Technology, Inventory Management Equipment ('Equipment') | The Partnership is the lessor of equipment under leases with periods generally ranging from 12 to 48 months. In general, associated costs such as repairs and maintenance, insurance and property taxes are paid by the lessee. Remarketing fees will be paid to the leasing companies from which the Partnership purchases leases. These are fees that are earned by the leasing companies when the initial terms of the lease have been met. The General Partner believes that this strategy adds value since it entices the leasing company to remain actively involved with the lessees and encourages potential extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment. This strategy is designed to minimize conflicts the leasing company may have with a new lessee and may assist in maximizing overall portfolio performance. The remarketing fee is tied into lease performance thresholds and is a factor in the negotiation of the fee. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with lease extensions are accounted for as operating costs. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with the sale of equipment are included in the gain or loss calculations. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $5,000 and $6,000 of remarketing fees were incurred, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no remarketing fees paid with cash and/or netted against receivables due from such parties. In December 2014, a significant lessee, ALSC, breached its Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) scheduled to terminate in December 2015 and defaulted on its lease payments for equipment shared by the Partnership and other affiliated Funds. On December 4, 2014, ALSC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On April 2, 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a settlement agreement with the parent company of ALSC for $3,500,000. The Partnership’s share of this settlement was approximately $83,000 of which $69,000 was recorded as a gain on termination of leases in the second quarter of 2015. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the release of all equipment leased to ALSC under the MLA to the Partnerships. In January 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Purchase Agreement for the sale of the equipment to Medshare Technologies (see note 8 - Medshare). Gains or losses from sales of leased and off-lease equipment are recorded on a net basis in the Partnership’s Statement of Operations. Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gains from lease termination included in lease revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was approximately $4,000 and $90,000, respectively. CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated companies and partnerships (“partnerships”), acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various companies based on certain risk factors. The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2016 was approximately $4,517,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2016 was approximately $10,060,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2016 was approximately $33,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2016 was approximately $96,000. The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2015 was approximately $5,111,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2015 was approximately $11,246,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2015 was approximately $214,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2015 was approximately $660,000. As the Partnership and the other programs managed by the General Partner increase their overall portfolio size, opportunities for shared participation are expected to continue. Sharing in the acquisition of a lease portfolio gives the Partnership an opportunity to acquire additional assets and revenue streams, while allowing the Partnership to remain diversified and reducing its overall risk with respect to one portfolio. Thus, total shared equipment and related debt should continue throughout 2017 as the Partnership continues to acquire equipment for its portfolio.

Our internal ratings are weighted based on the industry that the customer operates in. Factors taken into consideration when assessing risk include both general and industry specific qualitative and quantitative metrics. We separately take in to consideration payment history, open lawsuits, liens and judgments. Typically, we will not extend credit to a company that has been in business for less than 5 years or that has filed for bankruptcy within the same period. Our internally based model may classify a company as high risk based on our analysis of their audited financial statements and their payment history. Additional considerations of high risk may include history of late payments, open lawsuits and liens or judgments. In an effort to mitigate risk, we typically require deposits from those in this category. A reserve for credit losses is deemed necessary when payment has not been received for one or more months of receivables due on the equipment held under finance leases. At the end of each period, management evaluates the open receivables due on this equipment and determines the need for a reserve based on payment history and any current factors that would have an impact on payments. The following table presents the credit risk profile, by creditworthiness category, of our finance lease receivables at December 31, 2016: Percent of Total Risk Level 2016 2015 Low -% -% Moderate-Low -% -% Moderate -% -% Moderate-High 100% 100% High -% -% Net Finance lease receivable 100% 100% As of December 31, 2016, we determined that we did not have a need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts associated with any of our finance leases, as the customer payment histories with us, associated with these leases, has been positive, with no late payments.
