Set forth below for SQN I, SQN II, SQN III and SQN PAC are charts of their respective aggregate portfolio investments broken out by equipment type and by business type as of December 31, 2014. SQN SOF’s portfolio is comprised entirely of modular accommodations; therefore, set forth below is also a chart of SQN SOF’s portfolio broken out only by industry type as of December 31, 2014. SQN SOF is a direct participation program designed to make investments in modular accommodations and panelized structures used as classrooms, dormitories, hospitals, nurseries, clinics and government facilities and programs. As such, its investments are much narrower and therefore differ from the other Prior Funds. The charts for SQN SOF and SQN PAC will vary from time to time for each of those programs as investments in their portfolios mature and reinvestments are made. The charts for SQN I, SQN II and SQN III represent the fully invested portfolio of each fund prior to their respective liquidation periods. The charts below combine operating leases, full payout leases and secured financings for summary purposes. Additional information concerning the assets purchased by four of the Prior Funds is set forth in Table VI of Part II to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a copy of which we will provide upon request, without charge.
