Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)  
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Financial information as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2022.

Equity Method Investment

The Partnership accounts for its investment in COF2 under the equity method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323.  Under the equity method, the Partnership records its proportionate share of the Fund’s net income (loss).  Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of distributions and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment was necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates. The Partnership classifies the fair value of its notes payable within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the observable inputs used to estimate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity of 90 days or less.

 

At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents was held in one bank account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $16,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At June 30, 2022, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amount in its accounts will fluctuate throughout 2022 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard establishes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in a timelier recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are to be based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. The scope of financial assets within the CECL methodology is broad and includes trade receivables from certain revenue transactions and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard. Instead, entities would need to apply other U.S. GAAP, namely Topic 842 (Leases), to account for changes in the collectability assessment for operating leases. Other than operating lease receivables, Partnership trade receivables include receivables from finance leases and equipment sales. Under Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services transferred to a customer. At the point that finance lease receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Trade receivables derived from equipment sales are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses.

 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which amends and clarifies several provisions of Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which amends Topic 326 to allow the fair value option to be elected for certain financial instruments upon adoption. ASU 2019-10 extended the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for the Partnership until December 15, 2022. While the Partnership continues to evaluate the new guidance, including the subsequent updates to Topic 326, it does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements and related disclosures.  For the three and fix months ended June 30, 2022, the Partnership’s finance lease revenue subject to CECL represented less than 1% of total lease revenue.
