Nature of Operations and Organization

Nature of business and operations — The condensed financial statements of SQN AIF IV, L.P. (the “Partnership”) at September 30, 2013 and for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results reported in these condensed financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Partnership’s Prospectus, dated April 2, 2013, contained in the Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended.

Organization — 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 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.

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 expects to achieve 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 its 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, such as vendor and rental programs. 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, SQN Capital Management, LLC (the “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 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 Investment Manager made the initial cash payment to the Partnership of $1,000. The Partnership refunded the initial Limited Partner’s interest of $1,000 during early July 2013.

The Partnership’s income, losses and distributions will be 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 distributed distributable cash will be allocated 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner. The

Partnership is currently in the Offering and Operating Period, which expires the earlier of raising $200,000,000 in limited partner contributions (200,000 units at $1,000 per unit) or April 2, 2015, which is two years from the date the Partnership was declared effective by the 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 begins on the date of the partnership’s initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and will last for three years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The Liquidation 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.

SQN Securities, LLC (“Securities”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager, is currently acting as the Partnership’s exclusive selling agent. The Partnership may engage additional selling agents in the future. The Partnership pays 3% of the gross proceeds of the offering (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership receives from the sale of its Units to the General Partner or its affiliates) to its selling agent or selling agents as an underwriting fee. In addition, the Partnership will pay a 7% sales commission to broker-dealers unaffiliated with our General Partner who will be selling our Units, on a best efforts basis. When Units are not sold the 7% sales commission is not required to be paid. The Partnership applies the proceeds that would otherwise be payable as Sales Commission toward the purchase of additional fractional Units at $1,000 per Unit. The Partnership records an underwriting fee discount for the difference between the Unit price and cash selling price for these sales. On May 29, 2013, one investor paid $1,500,000 for Partnership Units and received 1,630.43 Units. The Partnership recorded the difference between the cash purchase price and the Unit price as an underwriting fee discount.

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’s 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 6.5% annually, paid quarterly as 1.625%, of each Limited Partners’ capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner).

From May 29, 2013 through September 30, 2013, the Partnership admitted 41 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $4,677,703 resulting in the sale of 4,677.70 Units. The Partnership received cash of $4,333,960 and applied $343,743 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of additional Units. The Partnership paid or accrued an underwriting fee to Securities totaling $124,027.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 high quality institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.

Finance lease receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts — In the normal course of business, the Partnership will provide credit or financing to its customers, perform credit evaluations of these customers, and maintain reserves for potential credit losses. These credit or financing transactions will normally be collateralized by the equipment being financed. In determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts, the Investment Manager will consider historical credit losses, the past due status of receivables, payment

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

history, and other customer-specific information. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Expected credit losses will be recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables are written off when the Investment Manager determines they are uncollectible.

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 will, at some point, 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 — The significant assets in the Partnership’s investment portfolio will be 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 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 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 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 satisfy the residual value in 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 residual value investment, estimated downtime between re-leasing events, and the amount of re-leasing costs. The Investment Manager’s review for impairment will include 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 Receivable — Equipment notes receivable are reported in the Partnership’s condensed balance sheets as the outstanding principal balance net of any unamortized deferred fees, premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Costs to originate loans, if any, are reported as other assets in the Partnership’s condensed balance sheets. Income is recognized over the life of the agreement. On certain equipment notes receivable, specific payment terms were reached. Any prepayments on these terms resulted in the recognition of unearned interest income. Unearned income, discounts and premiums, if any, are amortized to interest income in the condensed statements of operations using the effective interest rate method. The equipment notes receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, the Partnership 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.

Revenue recognition — The Partnership will record 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.

SQN AIF IV, L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

The Partnership will lease 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 will record, 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 will be recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

For operating leases, rental income will be recognized on the straight line basis over the lease term. Billed and uncollected operating lease receivables will be included in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable will be stated at its 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 Manager has an investment committee that approves each new equipment lease, financing transaction, and lease acquisition. As part of its 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 Partnership received a due diligence fee for work performed in connection with the equipment notes receivable which is included in other income in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

Initial direct costs — The Partnership will 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) and external broker fees incurred with the origination. These costs will be amortized on a lease by lease basis based on 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 will be 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 to be borne 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 that 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.

Uncertain tax positions — The Partnership has adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Uncertain Tax Position”). Uncertain Tax Position prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met

SQN AIF IV, L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

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. Under Uncertain Tax Position, 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 position for the years ended December 31, 2012, and does not expect any material adjustments to be made. The tax year 2012 remains 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 currency. Accordingly, certain assets and liabilities are translated at either the current monthly 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 period’s condensed results of operations.

Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates primarily include the determination of allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, estimated useful lives, and residual values. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets Within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 resolves diversity in practice related to financial reporting involving a parent entity’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment of foreign currency into net income upon derecognition of a foreign subsidiary or group of assets. ASU 2013-05 clarifies that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes, (i) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity and (ii) events that result in an acquirer’s obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date, otherwise known as a step acquisition. Upon the occurrence of these events, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income. ASU 2013-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-05 to impact its financial position or its results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The amendments require an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is imminent when the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (for example, involuntary bankruptcy). If a plan for liquidation was specified in the entity's governing documents from the entity's inception (for example, limited-life entities), the entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting only if the approved plan for liquidation differs from the plan for liquidation that was specified at the entity's inception. The amendments require financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting to present relevant information about an entity's expected resources in liquidation by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation. The entity should include in its presentation of assets any items it had not previously recognized under U.S.GAAP but that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (for example, trademarks). The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Entities should apply the requirements prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted.

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 consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

The General Partner is responsible for the day-to-day 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 an allowance for organizational and offering costs not to exceed 2% of all capital contributions received by the Partnership. 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%

SQN AIF IV, L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

interest in the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership. The General Partner will initially receive 1% of all distributed distributable cash.

During 2012, the General Partner made a $1,000 cash advance to the Partnership to pay for any incidental costs. At December 31, 2012, this amount is shown as due to SQN AIF IV GP, LLC in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. This amount was repaid during July 2013 and therefore has a $0 balance due as of September 30, 2013.

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, payable 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 to be measured on the last day of each month. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership accrued $375,000 and $500,000, respectively, in management fee expense which is recorded in management fee — Investment Manager in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

Prior to the Partnership breaking escrow on May 29, 2013, any monies paid by the Investment Manager for offering expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership, were not the responsibility of the Partnership due to the possibility that the Partnership may not break escrow. Until such time, these obligations were the responsibility of the General Partner. On May 29, 2013, the Partnership recorded a payable to the Investment Manager for offering expenses previously paid totaling $225,468. Through September 30, 2013, the Partnership incurred the following:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Offering expenses incurred on behalf of Partnership	$	225,468
Management fee due to Investment Manager		55,000
Reimbursements to Investment Manager by the Partnership		(214,850	)
Balance due to Investment Manager	$	65,618

As the Partnership receives additional Limited Partner capital contributions it will continue to pay down this liability.

Securities is a Delaware limited liability company and is majority-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. Securities in its capacity as the Partnership’s selling agent receives an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership receives from the sale of the Partnership’s Units to the General Partner or its affiliates). While Securities is initially acting as the Partnership’s exclusive selling agent, the Partnership may engage additional selling agents in the future.

Equipment Notes Receivable

Medical Equipment

On June 28, 2013, the Partnership entered into a $150,000 Promissory Note to finance the purchase of medical equipment located in the United States of America. The Promissory Note will be paid through 36 monthly installments of principal and interest of $5,100. The Promissory Note is secured by the medical equipment and other personal property located at the borrowers principal place of business. The Promissory Note is guaranteed personally by the officer of the borrower who will make all required note payments if the borrower is unable to perform under the Promissory Note.

Mining Equipment

On September 27, 2013, the Partnership entered into a loan facility with Andes Construction & Mining, Inc. (“Andes”) to provide financing in an amount up to $3,000,000. Andes is a Florida based company that has built, refurbished and serviced mineral refining and mining equipment in the United States, Central and South America for more than 30 years. The loan facility is secured by equipment that refines precious metals and other minerals. The Partnership advanced $2,500,000 to Andes during September 2013. The loan facility requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $69,577 and a balloon payment of $500,000 which equates to an effective interest rate of 23.25%. The loan facility is scheduled to mature in September 2017. Andes’ obligations under the loan facility are personally guaranteed by two majority shareholders of Andes.

Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership follows the fair value guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) for items that are required to be measured at fair value. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs — Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

Fair value information with respect to the Partnership’s leased assets and liabilities are not separately provided for since ASC 820 does not require fair value disclosures of leasing arrangements.

The Partnership’s carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to SQN AIF GP, LLC, due to SQN Securities, LLC and due to SQN Capital Management LLC, approximate fair value due to their short term until maturity.

The carrying amount of the Partnership’s equipment notes receivable, including accrued interest approximates, fair value at September 30, 2013, based on the following factors: (i) interest rates have been at or near historic low, (ii) interest rates have remained stable and the outlook for an increase in interest rates remains low and (iii) the short period of time between the Partnership funding of this equipment note receivable and the Partnership’s quarter end. Currently, due to the short-term existence of each of these transactions, management concluded that book value approximates the fair value of each of the assets. Management will continue to re-assess at each balance sheet date.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

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 will 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 the General Partner and the Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager knows of no facts or circumstances that would make the Partnership’s contractual commitments outside standard mutual covenants applicable to commercial transactions between businesses. Accordingly, the Partnership believes that these indemnification obligations are made in the ordinary course of business as part of standard commercial and industry practice, and that any potential liability under the Partnership’s similar commitments is remote. Should any such indemnification obligation become payable, the Partnership would separately record and/or disclose such liability in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Subsequent Events

Limited Partner Capital Contributions

From October 1, 2013 through November 14, 2013, the Partnership admitted an additional 11 Limited Partners with total cash contributions of $703,800, total capital contributions of $752,785 and 752.78 Units. The Partnership paid or accrued an underwriting fee to Securities totaling $22,584 and recorded an underwriting fee discount of $48,985.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 10, 2012. We operate a fund in which the capital invested by partners is pooled together. 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.

Although the 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, Canada and the European Union but may also make investments in other parts of the world.

We are currently in the Offering and Operating Period, which expires the earlier of raising $200,000,000 in limited partner contributions (200,000 units at $1,000 per unit) or April 2, 2015, which is two years from the date we were declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 we admitted our first Limited Partners, the initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and will last for three years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. At our initial closing, we reimbursed our Investment Manager for a portion of the fees and expenses associated with our organization and offering which they previously paid on our behalf and we funded a small capital reserve. The Liquidation Period is the period in which we 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.

Our General Partner, our Investment Manager and their affiliates, including SQN Securities, LLC (“Securities”) in its capacity as our selling agent and certain non-affiliates (namely, Selling Dealers) receive fees and compensation from the offering of our Units, including the following, with any and all compensation paid to our General Partner solely in cash. We pay an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds, if any, we receive from the sale of our Units to our General Partner or its affiliates) to our selling agent or selling agents. While Securities initially acts as our exclusive selling agent, we may engage additional selling agents in the future. From these underwriting fees, a selling agent may pay Selling Dealers, as a marketing allowance, an aggregate of up to 1% of the offering proceeds of our Units sold by such Selling Dealers. This marketing allowance may be paid to Selling Dealers that actively assist in marketing efforts to reimburse them for permissible marketing expenses. This fee will vary, depending upon separately negotiated agreements with each Selling Dealer. In addition, we pay a sales commission to Selling Dealers up to 7% of the gross proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds, if any, we receive from the sale of our Units to our General Partner or its affiliates) to Selling Dealers.

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

Medical Equipment Financing

On June 28, 2013, we entered into a $150,000 Promissory Note to finance the purchase of medical equipment located in the United States of America. The Promissory Note accrues interest at 14.48% per year and is payable in 36 monthly installments of principal and interest of $5,100. The Promissory Note is secured by the machinery and other personal property located at the borrowers principal place of business. The Promissory Note is guaranteed personally by the officer of the borrower who will make all required note payments if the borrower is unable to perform under the Promissory Note.

Mining Equipment Financing

On September 27, 2013, the Partnership entered into a loan facility with Andes Construction & Mining, Inc. (“Andes”) to provide financing in an amount up to $3,000,000. Andes is a Florida based company that has built, refurbished and serviced mineral refining and mining equipment in the United States, Central and South America for more than 30 years. The loan facility is secured by equipment that refines precious metals and other minerals. Monthly payments of principal and interest are due under the loan facility which is scheduled to mature in September 2017. Andes’ obligations under the loan facility are personally guaranteed by two majority shareholders of Andes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Part I Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements in our condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

An understanding of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates will primarily include the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses and the estimated useful lives and residual values of the leased equipment we acquire. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition

Each equipment lease we enter into is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, which is determined at lease inception, based upon the terms of each lease, or when there are significant changes to the lease

terms. We capitalize initial direct costs associated with the origination and funding of lease assets. Initial direct costs include both internal costs (e.g., labor and overhead), if any, and external broker fees incurred with the lease origination. Costs related to leases that are not consummated are not eligible for capitalization as initial direct costs and are expensed as incurred as acquisition expense. For a finance lease, initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. For an operating lease, the initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated over the lease term.

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

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

Our Investment Manager has an investment committee that approves each new equipment lease and other 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 portfolio are periodically reviewed, no less frequently than annually or when indicators of impairment exist, to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If there is an indication of impairment, we will estimate the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash in-flows expected to be generated by an asset less the future out-flows expected to be necessary to obtain those in-flows. If an impairment is determined to exist, the impairment loss will be measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and recorded in the statement of operations in the period the determination is made.

The events or changes in circumstances that generally indicate that an asset may be impaired are, (i) the estimated fair value of the underlying equipment is less than its carrying value, (ii) the lessee is experiencing financial difficulties and (iii) it does not appear likely that the estimated proceeds from the disposition of the asset will be sufficient to satisfy the residual position in the asset. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the level of future rents, the residual value expected to be realized upon disposition of the asset, estimated downtime between re-leasing events and the amount of re-leasing costs. Our Investment Manager’s review for impairment includes a consideration of the existence of impairment indicators

including third-party appraisals, published values for similar assets, recent transactions for similar assets, adverse changes in market conditions for specific asset types and the occurrence of significant adverse changes in general industry and market conditions that could affect the fair value of the asset.

Depreciation

We record depreciation expense on equipment when the lease is classified as an operating lease. In order to calculate depreciation, we first determine the depreciable equipment cost, which is the cost less the estimated residual value. The estimated residual value is our 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.

Business Overview

Our Offering period commenced on April 2, 2013 and will last until the earlier of (i) April 2, 2015, which is two years from the commencement of our Offering Period, or (ii) the date that we have raised $200,000,000. We are currently in negotiations with additional Selling Dealers to offer our Units for sale. We have been approved for sale under Blue Sky regulations in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Arkansas is the only state in which the application process has not be completed. During the Offering Period it is anticipated that the majority of our cash in-flows will be derived from financing activities and be the direct result of capital contributions from investors.

During our Operating Period, which began on May 29, 2013, the date of our initial closing, we will use the net offering proceeds from Limited Partner capital contributions to acquire our initial investments. As our investments mature, we anticipate reinvesting the cash proceeds in additional investments in leased equipment and project financing transactions, to the extent that the cash will not be needed for expenses, reserves and distributions to our Limited Partners. During this time-frame we expect both rental income and finance income to increase substantially as well as related expenses such as depreciation and amortization. During the Operating Period we believe the majority of our cash out-flows will be from investing activities as we acquire additional investments and to a lesser extend from financing activities from our paying quarterly distributions to our Limited Partners. Our cash flow from operations is expected to increase, primarily from the collection of rental payments.

We are currently in negotiations with additional Selling Dealers to offer our Units for sale. We have been approved for sale under Blue Sky regulations in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Arkansas is the only state in which the application process has not been completed.

Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013

We are currently in both our Offering Period and our Operating Period. The Offering Period is designated as the period in which we raise capital from investors. During this period we expect to generate the majority of our cash in-flow from financing activities though the sale of our Units to investors. Through September 30, 2013, we admitted 41 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $4,677,703 resulting in the sale of 4,677.70 Units. The Partnership received cash of $4,333,960 and applied $343,743 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of additional Units. The Partnership paid or accrued an underwriting fee to Securities totaling $124,027. One of these investments totaled $1,500,000.

We have also entered our Operating Period, which is defined as the period in which we invest the net proceeds from the Offering Period into business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment and other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams. During this period we anticipate substantial cash out-flows from investing activities as we acquire leased equipment. We also expect our operating activities to generate cash in-flows during this time as we collect rental payments from the leased assets we acquire. Our first two transactions were financing transactions with advanced payments, therefore we have nominal earned revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 we earned $9,784 in total revenue. As we acquire finance leases and operating leases, as well as, additional project financings we believe that our revenue will grow significantly.

Our expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
Expenses:
Management fees — Investment Manager		375,000
Professional fees		17,409
Organizational expenses		—
Acquisition costs		7,958
Fund administration expense		2,960
Other expenses		184
Total Expenses	$	403,511

For the three months ended on September 30, 2013 we incurred $403,511 in total expenses. Our largest expense during this period was $375,000 for management fees paid to our Investment Manager. 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 the Partnership’s 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 also incurred $17,409 in professional fees, which were mostly comprised of fees related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. As the size and complexity of our activities grow we expect professional fees will increase accordingly. As we enter into finance leases and operating leases we will incur additional expenses, such as acquisition expenses and depreciation and amortization.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors discussed above we incurred a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $393,727.

Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:

For the nine months ended we earned $10,913 in total revenue. The total earned revenue is primarily attributable to the interest income earned on the equipment notes receivable.

Our expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are summarized as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Expenses:
Management fees — Investment Manager		500,000
Professional fees		33,909
Organizational expenses		20,000
Acquisition costs		7,958
Fund administration expense		3,610
Other expenses		184
Total Expenses	$	565,661

For the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 we incurred $565,661 in total expenses. Our largest expense during this period was $500,000 for management fees paid to our Investment Manager. 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 the Partnership’s 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 incurred $20,000 in organization expenses, which is a one-time expense and we do not expect this to be a recurring charge. We also incurred $33,909 in professional fees, which were mostly comprised of fees related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. As the size and complexity of our activities grow we expect professional fees will increase accordingly. As we enter into finance leases and operating leases we will incur additional expenses, such as acquisition expenses and depreciation and amortization.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors discussed above we incurred a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $554,748.

Sources of Liquidity

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

Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $264,324 and was primarily driven by the following factors; (i) an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $33,264, (ii) an increase is due to SQN Capital Management LLC of $55,000 which represents unpaid management fees payable to our Investment Manager and (iii) an increase in unearned interest income which represents the interest income to be recognized on the mining equipment note over the initial six month period. Offsetting these increases was a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $554,748. We expect our accounts payable and accrued expenses will fluctuate from period to period primarily due to the timing of payments related to lease and financings transactions we will enter into. We anticipate that as we enter into additional equipment leasing and financing transactions we will generate greater net cash in-flows from operations principally from rental payments received from lessees.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $2,428,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was solely related to our entering into the equipment notes receivable transaction for $2,650,000. The borrowers made payments of $429,347 since original purchase.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3,525,234 and was primarily due to the sale of our Units to investors. We began our Offering Period on April 2, 2013 and have admitted a total of 41 Limited Partners with total cash contributions of $4,334,460. Offsetting this increase were underwriting fees paid to Securities of $105,271 and offering expenses of $701,955.

Financings and Borrowings

None.

Distributions

During our Operating Period, we intend to pay cash distributions on a quarterly basis to our Limited Partners at 1.625% per quarter, of each Limited Partners’ capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). The amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Commitment and Contingencies

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

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

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

None.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2013, the Partnership had accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaling $33,263. This amount relates to professional services for legal and accounting work provided during the preparation and completion of the required filings. During October 2013, the Partnership paid the outstanding balance of $33,263 due for professional services.

At September 30, 2013, we have a payable to our Investment Manager totaling $65,618 which is comprised of the following: (i) $10,618 for offering expenses paid on our behalf prior to our beginning our Offering Period and (ii) $55,000 which represents the balance of unpaid management fees. We expect to repay these amounts as we raise additional capital contributions from the sales of our Units to Limited Partners.

During our Operating Period, we pay cash distributions on a quarterly basis to our Limited Partners at 1.625% per quarter, of each Limited Partners’ capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). The amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed.

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 September 30, 2013, 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 and Chief Financial 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 and the Chief Financial 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

On September 20, 2013, David C. Wright resigned as Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) of, and in all other capacities with, the Partnership.

Mr. Wright’s resignation was made in connection with the decision by the Partnership and SQN Capital Management, LLC to outsource a portion of the accounting and reporting function of the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer in order to accommodate the firm’s continued growth and to leverage a deeper base of experience from multiple professionals in public company reporting, GAAP and tax accounting, financial modeling and general audit preparation services.

On September 20, 2013, Jeremiah J. Silkowski, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed to serve as interim Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer).

Other than the above changes, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
