Organization and Nature of Operations | 1. Organization and Nature of Operations Organization Nature of Operations – The General Partner of the Partnership is SQN AIF V 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. The Partnership’s income, losses and distributions are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received total distributions equal to their capital contributions plus an 8% per year, compounded annually, cumulative return on their capital contributions. After such time, all income, losses and distributable cash will be allocated 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner. The Partnership expects to conduct its activities for at least six years and divide the Partnership’s life into three distinct stages: (i) the Offering Period, (ii) the Operating Period and (iii) the Liquidation Period. The Offering Period began on August 11, 2016, will terminate no later than two years after this date, unless extended by our General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months. The Operating Period will commence on the date of the Partnership’s initial closing and last for four years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. During the Operating Period, the Partnership will invest most of the net proceeds from its offering in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment, other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams and project financings. The Liquidation Period, which follows the conclusion of the Operating Period, is the period in which the Partnership will sell its assets in the ordinary course of business and will last two years, unless it is extended, at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The General Partner may extend the Offering Period, from time to time, in its sole discretion, by up to an additional 12 months. The General Partner may also extend the Operating Period and subsequent Liquidation Period in its sole discretion. SQN Securities, LLC (“Securities”), a Delaware limited liability company, is affiliated with the General Partner. Securities will act initially as the selling agent for the offering of the units. The units are offered on a “best efforts,” “minimum-maximum” basis. Unless extended by the General Partner, from time to time, in its sole discretion, for up to an additional 12 months, the offering will terminate on the date that is two years from the date of August 11, 2016. During the Operating Period, the Partnership plans to make quarterly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners, if, in the opinion of the Partnership’s Investment Manager, such distributions are in the Partnership’s best interests. Therefore, the amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed. The targeted distribution rate is 6.0% annually, paid quarterly as 1.5%, of each Limited Partner’s capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Partnership declared and accrued quarterly distribution to its Limited Partners totaling $56,263 which resulted in a distributions payable to Limited Partners of $56,263 at March 31, 2017. The Partnership did not make a cash distribution to the General Partner during the period ended March 31, 2017 and accrued $563 for distributions due to the General Partner which resulted in distributions payable to the General Partner of $964 at March 31, 2017. From August 11, 2016 through March 31, 2017, the Partnership admitted 97 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $4,526,355 resulting in the sale of 452,635.51 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $4,263,350 and applied $263,005 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 26,300.50 additional Units. |
