Organization and Nature of Operations | 1. Organization and Nature of Operations. Organization Nature of Operations The General Partner of the Partnership is ASIF GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. On July 8, 2019, the General Partner changed its name from SQN AIF V GP, LLC to ASIF GP, LLC. Both the Partnership’s General Partner and its Investment Manager are Delaware limited liability companies. On January 7, 2019, the Investment Manager changed its name from SQN Investment Advisors, LLC to Arboretum Investment Advisors, LLC. 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 and concluded on March 31, 2019. The Operating Period commenced on October 3, 2016, the date of the Partnership’s initial closing, and will last for four years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The General Partner extended the Operating Period for an additional year. 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. American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC (“American Elm”), a Delaware limited liability company, is affiliated with the General Partner. American Elm acted as the initial selling agent for the offering of the units (“Units”). On January 7, 2019, American Elm changed its name from SQN Securities, LLC to American Elm Distribution Partners, LLC. The Units are offered on a “best efforts,” “minimum-maximum” basis. 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 at 1.5%, of each Limited Partner’s capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). During the year ended December 31, 2020, we made quarterly cash distributions to our Limited Partners totaling approximately $1,527,000, and we accrued $255,362 for distributions due to Limited Partners which resulted in a distributions payable to Limited Partners of $255,362 at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we made quarterly cash distributions to our Limited Partners totaling approximately $1,804,000, and we accrued $511,318 for distributions due to Limited Partners which resulted in a distributions payable to Limited Partners of $511,318 at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020 and 2019 we declared and accrued a distribution of $12,685 and $19,430, respectively, for distributions due to our General Partner which resulted in distributions payable to our General Partner of $48,698 and $36,013 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On September 11, 2018, the Partnership formed a special purpose entity SQN Lifestyle Leasing, LLC (“Lifestyle Leasing”), a limited liability company registered in the state of Delaware which is wholly owned by the Partnership. On May 24, 2019, the Partnership terminated Lifestyle Leasing. From August 11, 2016 through March 31, 2019, the Partnership admitted 617 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $25,371,709 resulting in the sale of 2,537,170.91 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $24,718,035 and applied $653,674 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 65,367.46 additional Units. |
