PART I.FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains, and our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and written and oral statements made by the Company’s sole officer and director or any authorized representative, to press, potential investors, securities analysts and others, will contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are predictions and generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “looking ahead,” “is confident,” “should be,” “will,” “predicted,” “likely” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe or contain information related to matters such as our intent, belief, or expectation with respect to financial performance, claims resolution under the Plan (as defined below), cash availability and cost-cutting measures are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements often reflect a number of assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in these forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events might or might not occur, which may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements and cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to “the Company,” “Comdisco Holding,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Comdisco Holding Company, Inc., its consolidated subsidiaries, including Comdisco, Inc., Comdisco Ventures Fund A, LLC (formerly Comdisco Ventures, Inc.), and its predecessors, except in each case where the context indicates otherwise. References to “Comdisco, Inc.” mean Comdisco, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on August 12, 2002, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these written or oral forward-looking statements, and could adversely affect our future financial performance, include the risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Many of the risk factors that could affect the results of the Company’s operations are beyond our ability to control or predict.

COMDISCO HOLDING COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

December 31, 2012

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 2 of Part I and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have the meanings as defined in the Company’s First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”).

1.   Reorganization

On July 16, 2001, Comdisco, Inc. and 50 of its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Bankruptcy court”) (consolidated case number 01-24795). Comdisco Holding Company, Inc., as the successor company to Comdisco, Inc., emerged from bankruptcy under the Plan that became effective on August 12, 2002. For financial reporting purposes only, however, the effective date for implementation of fresh-start reporting was July 31, 2002.

Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 8, 2002 for the purpose of selling, collecting or otherwise reducing to money in an orderly manner the remaining assets of the Company and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Comdisco, Inc. The Company’s business purpose is limited to the orderly sale or collection of all its remaining assets. Pursuant to the Plan and restrictions contained in its Certificate, the Company is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose.

Litigation Trust: In February 1998, pursuant to the Shared Investment Plan (“SIP”), the 106 participants in the SIP (the “SIP Participants”) took out full recourse, personal loans to purchase approximately six million shares of Comdisco, Inc.’s common stock. In connection therewith, Comdisco, Inc. executed a guaranty dated February 2, 1998 (the “Guaranty”) providing a guaranty of the loans in the event of default by the SIP Participants to the lenders under the SIP (the “SIP Lenders”).  The Company and the SIP Lenders subsequently reached a settlement on the Guaranty that was approved by the Bankruptcy court on December 9, 2004.  The Plan and the litigation trust agreement provided that, under certain circumstances, subrogation rights that the Company may have against the SIP Participants who participated in the SIP and their respective promissory notes be placed in a trust for the benefit of the C-4 creditors (the “Trust Assets”).  Under the Plan, the Litigation Trust is solely responsible for collection of amounts due on the promissory notes of the 69 SIP Participants who did not take advantage of the SIP Relief (as defined in the Plan).  The Company has a limited indemnification obligation to the litigation trustee under the litigation trust agreement.

SIP Litigation: On February 4, 2005, the Litigation Trust commenced lawsuits both in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Federal SIP Lawsuits”) and in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois (the “State SIP Lawsuits”) to collect on the remaining SIP Participants’ promissory notes.

Federal SIP Lawsuits: The Litigation Trust filed and a federal district court judge entered summary judgments (and amended judgments) against all but one of the SIP Participants who were defendants (the “SIP defendants”) in the federal cases on their respective SIP promissory notes, and the Litigation Trust has commenced collection actions against them. Additionally, the federal district court judge entered orders ordering that certain CDRs and related proceeds held by the estate of Comdisco, Inc. and Computershare (f/k/a BNY Mellon) (holder of CDRs) on behalf of those SIP defendants be turned over to the Litigation Trust.  Pursuant to these orders, the Company turned over CDRs and related proceeds and will continue to do so if additional orders are entered.

The SIP defendants filed appeals on those judgments.  A hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit (the “Seventh Circuit”) on the summary judgments in the federal case was held on April 6, 2010.  The Seventh Circuit ruled on October 18, 2010 affirming rulings in favor of the Litigation Trust, but remanding certain fraud issues to the trial court.  On November 1, 2010, the SIP defendants filed a petition for a hearing before the full

6

appellate panel. On June 28, 2011, the Seventh Circuit ruled vacating the summary judgments and remanding the cases for further proceedings.

On October 18, 2011, a hearing was held before Judge Gettleman.  A hearing was set for December 22, 2011 and the parties were also required to submit a joint status report on December 9, 2011.  On December 22, 2011, a Rule 16 scheduling conference was set for January 13, 2012.  On January 13, 2012, the judge set February 24, 2012 for both parties to tender responses to interrogatories and for both parties to exchange and provide to the court, lists of proposed depositions and subjects to be addressed.  On March 2, 2012, Judge Gettleman entered an order setting the discovery cut-off date as November 29, 2012.  On October 29, 2012, the SIP defendants filed a Motion for Extension of Discovery Cut-Off Date.  This motion was heard on November 1, 2012 at which time Judge Gettleman granted the extension through January 30, 2013.  On November 20, 2012, the Litigation Trust filed a motion to strike a jury demand, which had been filed by the SIP defendants.  At a hearing on December 6, 2012, the judge continued this motion to be heard at a status hearing on February 1, 2013.  On February 1, 2013, the Motion to Strike Jury Demand was withdrawn without prejudice.  The Joint Motion to Permit Limited Discovery after the Discovery Cut-off was granted setting March 1, 2013 as the deadline for served and pending discovery; and the expert discovery cut-off date was set as May 31, 2013.  Judge Gettleman also ordered discovery closed on August 28, 2013 and set the next status hearing for June 6, 2013.

State SIP Lawsuits: The Litigation Trust filed summary judgments against all of the SIP Participants who are defendants (the “SIP defendants”) in the state cases. On December 18, 2009, the SIP defendants filed their response, and the Litigation Trust filed its reply on February 11, 2010.  Three of the SIP defendants filed Cross Motions for Summary Judgment.  A hearing in the Circuit Court of Cook County on all of the summary judgment motions in the state cases was held on May 12, 2010, and the judge granted the summary judgments in favor of the Litigation Trust and denied the various motions for summary judgments filed by the SIP defendants.  On July 12, 2010, the SIP defendants filed a Motion for a Temporary Stay of Proceedings until the Seventh Circuit rules on the appeal of the federal judgments.  On August 10, 2010, the judge granted a temporary stay of the proceedings until November 29, 2010.  On November 29, 2010, the judge continued the proceedings until January 27, 2011.  On January 27, 2011, Judge Sanjay Tailor was assigned to the matter.  On September 14, 2011, the SIP defendants filed a Motion to Vacate Summary Judgments and Motion for Reconsideration.  At a hearing on September 21, 2011, the judge entered a Briefing Schedule Order for these motions and documents were tendered at a status hearing on January 24, 2012.  On March 16, 2012, the judge denied in part and affirmed in part the Motion to Vacate Summary Judgments.  A status hearing was held on June 14, 2012 and the judge gave the Litigation Trust permission to file an Amended Complaint.  The judge set a discovery cut-off date of November 30, 2012.  At a status hearing on October 30, 2012, Judge Tailor set a further status hearing on November 7, 2012 at which he extended the cut-off until January 31, 2013.  On July 27, 2012, the SIP defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss.  On December 7, 2012, Judge Tailor granted the Motion to Dismiss.  The Litigation Trust filed a Fourth Amended Complaint on January 4, 2013 and the SIP defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss portions of the Fourth Amended Complaint on January 28, 2013.  On January 25, 2013, Judge Tailor set the next status hearing for March 8, 2013; set March 1, 2013 as the deadline for served and pending discovery; set the expert discovery cut-off date as May 31, 2013; and set a trial date for August 5 through 23, 2013.

Ongoing Discovery: As of the date of this report, the Litigation Trust has been able to complete the depositions of all but two of the SIP defendants; provided its expert report to the SIP defendants’ counsel; and the parties have served subpoenas on third parties for depositions and document production.

Litigation Trust Reports: In 2004 and 2005, sixty-nine SIP promissory notes were transferred to the Litigation Trust.  As reported by the Litigation Trust, of the sixty-nine SIP promissory notes, nine SIP Participants have filed personal bankruptcy, thirty-five of them have settled or otherwise resolved their obligation, and twenty-five cases remain active (six in the federal court and nineteen in the state court).  As reported in the Thirty-Third Status Report of Comdisco Litigation Trustee, filed on January 31, 2013, the Litigation Trust did not reach any settlements in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Please refer to the quarterly reports filed by the Litigation Trust in the Bankruptcy court for more details. Any proceeds collected by the Litigation Trust, net of expenses, will be considered Trust Assets and distributed in accordance with the Plan and litigation trust agreement.

2.   Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The information furnished herein includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments except where indicated, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these interim periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2013.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 12, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates and may affect future results of operations and cash flows.  We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.  We do not believe there are any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure, except as otherwise presented in these footnotes.

3.   Equity Investments

Windspeed Acquisition Fund GP, LLC (“Windspeed”), a professional management group which the Company engaged in February 2004, manages the Company’s investments in equity securities on an ongoing basis.  Windspeed shares in the net receipts from the sale of the Company’s investments in equity securities at a set percentage in certain designated portions of the portfolio of companies.  Prior to the February 21, 2011 extension of the management agreement, Windspeed received fixed and declining management fees.  The Windspeed management agreement was extended effective February 21, 2011 until February 20, 2013.  The Company currently plans to extend the agreement (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Under the terms of the extended management agreement, and any anticipated extension, Windspeed is not, and will not, be paid any ongoing management fees.  In lieu of such management fee payment, 100% of any proceeds from certain companies in the portfolio will go to Windspeed.  As a result of such arrangement, and as of the February 21, 2011 management agreement, the Company established a prepaid expense in the amount of $131,000, representing the estimated fair market value of the companies for which Windspeed will be entitled to 100% of the proceeds.  The Company has amortized approximately $122,000 of the prepaid expense since the beginning of this agreement, which includes approximately $16,000 amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2012.  Since February 21, 2011, the prepaid management fee expense is being amortized over the two-year time period of the agreement, and realized gains on the sale of equity securities continue to be reduced by sharing amounts under the management agreement. Through December 31, 2012, the Company had received approximately $70,855,000 in proceeds from its investments in equity securities (prior to Windspeed’s management fees and sharing) since the inception of the management agreement with Windspeed. Windspeed has received approximately $12,592,000 in combined management fees and sharing through December 31, 2012.

Realized gains or losses are recorded on the trade date based upon the difference between the proceeds and the cost basis determined using the specific identification method. Net realized gains are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

8

Marketable equity securities:

Changes in the valuation of available-for-sale securities are included as changes in the unrealized holding gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  At December 31, 2012, the Company did not own any shares in publicly-traded companies.

The Company’s practice is to work in conjunction with Windspeed to sell its marketable equity securities within a reasonable period of time after the expiration of the lockup period utilizing various timing strategies which seek to maximize the return to the Company. However, in the future, there is no assurance as to whether or not the Company either will be able to liquidate such positions held for any lockup period or realize any amount on such positions.

Equity investments in private companies:

The Company’s policy for assessing the carrying value of equity investments in privately held companies is, in consultation with Windspeed, to regularly review and estimate the fair value of these securities.

The Company identifies and records impairment losses on equity securities when market and customer specific events and circumstances indicate the carrying value might be impaired.  All write-downs are considered permanent impairments for financial reporting purposes.

4.   Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the State of Illinois and certain foreign jurisdictions.

As of the date of this filing, the federal tax years open to examination in the U.S. are fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2011.

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Comdisco Canada Limited, is currently in the process of resolving certain tax matters with the Ontario provincial tax authorities.  The most significant tax matter is the “Notices of Objection” to reassessments which were filed for the tax years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001.  During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed final negotiations with the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) related to its federal Notices of Objection and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1,279,000.

The open federal tax years for the Canadian subsidiary are tax years ended September 30, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2008 and 2009, as well as March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The Company will continue to pursue refund efforts with the province of Ontario; however, as of the date of this filing, the Company believes a tax refund is not more likely than not to be received, therefore, no income tax receivable has been recorded.  The open tax years for the province of Ontario are tax years ended September 30, 1998 and 2007 through 2009, as well as March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The open tax year for the provinces of Quebec and Alberta is the tax year ended September 30, 1999.

The open tax years for the Mexican subsidiary are the tax years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2012.  The Company is currently working with local advisors to liquidate the Mexican subsidiary.

Uncertain Tax Positions:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands) (excluding interest and penalties) (Note A):

	For the three months endedDecember 31,	For the year endedSeptember 30,
	2012	2012
Beginning balance	$ 1,438	$  1,369
Decreases related to settlements of certain tax audits	0	(16)
Increases related to settlements of certain tax audits	0	0
Decreases related to prior year tax positions	0	0
Increases related to prior year tax positions	0	0
Other, including foreign exchange	(20)	85
Ending balance	$1,418	$  1,438

Note (A):  The Company previously reported its reconciliation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended September 30, 2012 as the amount of the net income tax liability including interest and penalties, which is reported in the consolidated balance sheets.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company is correcting its disclosure for the year ended September 30, 2012 and reporting this table as the gross income tax liability position.  Net operating losses of $1,264,000 are available to offset this liability, such that the net balance of approximately $154,000, if realized, would impact the effective tax rate.  This change in presentation does not impact the Company’s financial position or cash flows.

In the next twelve months, the Company’s effective tax rate and the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be affected positively or negatively by the resolution of any possible tax audits and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Based on current information, the Company believes that the range of the reasonably possible change of the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months is zero to $154,000.

As of December 31, 2012, accrued interest and penalties included in the income tax liability amounted to approximately $679,000.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.

As of December 31, 2012, the income tax liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets all relate to the Company’s Canadian subsidiary and include $154,000 in net uncertain tax positions, $679,000 in interest and penalties for the uncertain tax positions and $202,000 in withholding tax liability on a deemed dividend for a total of $1,035,000.

6.  Other Financial Information

Legally restricted cash is comprised of the following at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012
Incentive compensation escrow	$	499	$	496
Indemnification reserve		4,000		4,000
Other escrows		349		341
	$	4,848	$	4,837

The incentive compensation escrow is deferred compensation as defined by the Plan and is held until an employee terminates with the Company.  The indemnification reserve is a specific reserve set aside by the Company for any potential indemnified losses in lieu of the litigation trustee purchasing insurance coverage.  Other escrows include management fee escrows and a bank guaranty held in the Netherlands.  The bank guaranty of $347,000 is fully reserved in other accrued liabilities.

Other liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012
Accrued compensation	$	1,283	$	1,221
CDRs		11,397		11,339
Other liabilities		508		501
	$	13,188	$	13,061

The liability for accrued compensation includes payroll and estimated amounts payable under the Plan.

Other liabilities include an accrued liability of approximately $347,000 for a bank guaranty held in the Netherlands.  After a lessee of the Company filed bankruptcy, the Company posted a bank guaranty to obtain its equipment (which was obtained and liquidated) from the landlord who filed a claim for unpaid rent in the lessee’s bankruptcy estate.  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company was advised that there will be no

10

funds in that lessee’s bankruptcy estate to pay the landlord’s claim.  Therefore, it is anticipated that the full amount of the bank guaranty will be called upon by the landlord.

The amounts due to CDR holders follow the formula described in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies”.

8.   Fair Value Measurements

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

·Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

·Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are measured using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.  However, the Company records the carrying value of its private equity investments at lower of cost or fair market value which is measured using Level 3 inputs.

11

The Company has included a tabular disclosure for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.  The Company currently holds no financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

13

While the Company did not hold any marketable equity investments as of December 31, 2012, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” marketable equity investments (equity investments having a readily determinable fair value) would have a carrying value and a fair value based on quoted market prices. The Company’s investment in warrants of public companies were valued at the bid quotation. The Company’s practice is to sell its marketable equity investments upon the expiration of the lock-up period.

Equity investments in private companies consist primarily of small investments in approximately three private companies.  Common stock and preferred stock investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value in the Company’s financial statements. Warrants in non-public companies are carried at zero value.   The carrying value of equity investments in private companies is $697,000 and the fair market value measured using Level 3 inputs is $5,084,000, net of sharing.  These investments are subject to significant volatility and are difficult to value. The fair value of the Company’s equity investments in private companies, including warrants, was determined in consultation with Windspeed based on the market approach, including, but not limited to, quoted trading levels for publicly-traded securities in similar industries and/or markets, industry and company multiples, industry acceptance in the market place, liquidity discounts due to lock ups, estimated revenue, and customer, product and market share growth by the respective companies in the portfolio. Substantially all of these factors are outside the control of the Company and are subject to significant volatility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the estimated fair market value. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2012, the total portfolio of three companies which has an estimated fair market value of $5,084,000 is subject to significant concentration risk, as follows: 99% of such value is in two individual companies, and approximately 88% of such value is in one individual company.  However, there is no assurance as to the timing or the amount the Company will ultimately realize on these investments.

9.   Subsequent Events

Mexico:On January 8, 2013, the Company filed its final income tax return with the Mexican tax authorities for the 2012 tax year. Subsequently, on January 9, 2013, the Company’s Mexican counsel advised that the Company’s Mexican subsidiary has been liquidated.

Windspeed:  On February 12, 2013, the Company amended and restated its agreement with Windspeed, effective February 21, 2013.  The amended and restated agreement extends the term of the agreement for an additional two-year period, or until February 20, 2015.  Under the terms of this extended management agreement, Windspeed will not be paid any management fees, however, it will continue to receive 100% of any proceeds from certain companies in the portfolio.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.This discussion contains forward-looking information.  Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

THE COMPANY EMERGED FROM CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS ON AUGUST 12, 2002. THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPANY IS TO SELL, COLLECT OR OTHERWISE REDUCE TO MONEY IN AN ORDERLY MANNER THE REMAINING ASSETS OF THE CORPORATION. PURSUANT TO THE COMPANY’S FIRST AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (THE “PLAN”) AND RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION (THE “CERTIFICATE”), THE COMPANY IS SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED FROM ENGAGING IN ANY BUSINESS ACTIVITIES INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LIMITED BUSINESS PURPOSE. ACCORDINGLY, WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE COMPANY WILL HAVE REDUCED ALL OF ITS ASSETS TO CASH AND MADE DISTRIBUTIONS OF ALL AVAILABLE CASH TO HOLDERS OF ITS COMMON STOCK AND CONTINGENT DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS (“CDRs”) IN THE MANNER AND PRIORITIES SET FORTH IN THE PLAN. AT THAT POINT, THE COMPANY WILL CEASE OPERATIONS AND NO FURTHER DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE MADE. THE COMPANY FILED, ON AUGUST 12, 2004, A CERTIFICATE OF DISSOLUTION WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO FORMALLY EXTINGUISH COMDISCO HOLDING COMPANY, INC.’S CORPORATE EXISTENCE WITH THE STATE OF DELAWARE EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPLETING THE WIND-DOWN CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN.

General

Wind-Down of Operations

Since emerging from bankruptcy proceedings on August 12, 2002, the Company has, pursuant to the Plan, focused on the monetization of its remaining assets. Therefore, comparisons of quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of the Company’s future performance.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the meanings as defined in the Plan.

The Company has reduced, and expects to continue to reduce, the size and complexity of its organizational and systems infrastructure concurrently with the monetization of its assets. As of the date of this filing, the Company had a total of five employees (one full-time and four part-time), a decrease of approximately 99 percent from approximately 600 employees upon emergence on August 12, 2002.  Approximately five consultants continue to periodically assist the Company on a consulting basis.

On August 12, 2004, Randolph I. Thornton’s appointment as Initial Disbursing Agent became effective. As Initial Disbursing Agent, he assumed the roles and responsibilities performed by the former Board of Directors and officers of the Company, including all measures which are necessary to complete the administration of the Plan and Chapter 11 cases.

Overview

On July 16, 2001, Comdisco, Inc. and 50 of its domestic subsidiaries voluntarily filed for bankruptcy.

Comdisco Holding Company, Inc., as the successor company to Comdisco, Inc., emerged from bankruptcy under a confirmed plan of reorganization that was effective on August 12, 2002. In accordance with the Plan, Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. became the successor to Comdisco, Inc.

Since the Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on August 12, 2002, the Company’s business activities have been limited to the orderly sale or run-off of all of its existing asset portfolios. Pursuant to the Plan and restrictions contained in its Certificate, the Company is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business

15

activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose. Since emerging from bankruptcy, the Company has not engaged in any new leasing or financing activities, except for previously existing customer commitments and to restructure existing equipment leases and loans to maximize the value of the Company’s assets.

The Company maintains sufficient cash reserves for the potential CDR liability, including any potential liability arising from any net distributions by the Litigation Trust to C-4 creditors.  The outcome and timing of any actual net distributions by the Litigation Trust will impact both the timing and the amount of future dividends and CDR payments.  See below for “Critical Accounting Policies”.

The Company has material restrictions on its ability, and does not expect, to make significant investments in new or additional assets. The Company continually evaluates opportunities for the orderly sale and collection of its remaining assets. Accordingly, within the next few years, it is anticipated that the Company will have reduced all of its assets to cash, resolved all litigation and made distributions of all available cash to holders of its common stock and CDRs in the manner and priorities set forth in the Plan and completed all regulatory filings. At that point, the Company will cease operations.

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily by sales of equity securities and interest income on cash balances. Because of the Company’s declining assets, revenue will continue to decline and, because of the Company’s limited business purpose, this trend is expected to continue. The Company’s expenses are primarily selling, general and administrative expenses and CDRs.  As a result of the wind-down of operations, the Company expects total costs and expenses to remain at, or slightly less than current levels, subject to volatility in the amount of expense associated with the liability for CDRs and the timing of payments related to selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s operations continued to wind-down during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s assets at December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of cash and cash-equivalents, short-term investments and equity securities. The timing of the sale of equity securities is uncertain. The equity securities portfolio requires liquidity events before certain of these assets can be converted to cash. The Company expects that proceeds from the disposition of equity securities will provide future but diminishing cash flows in excess of the current carrying value of these assets. In addition, the Company, as a former lessor, has a few remaining leases in default whereby collection efforts are underway to support a recovery on those limited number of accounts. Receipts, if any, will be in excess of the respective carrying value of these assets because the related lease receivables were previously written-off.

Equity Investments: The Company holds common stock, preferred stock and warrants in other companies (collectively “Equity Investments”). The Company carries its private companies at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value in its financial statements. Any warrants held by the Company in private companies are carried at zero value. Any write-downs in the carrying value of such Equity Investments in private companies are considered permanent for financial reporting purposes. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Critical Accounting Policies.” It is management’s expectation that the amount in private company investments ultimately realized on Equity Investments will, in the aggregate, exceed the $697,000 carrying amount reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 2012.  The Company’s estimate of the fair value of its private company investments was made in consultation with Windspeed Acquisition Fund GP, LLC (“Windspeed”), a professional management group which the Company engaged to manage the Company’s Equity Investments on an ongoing basis in February 2004.  Prior to the February 21, 2011 extension of the management agreement, Windspeed received fixed and declining management fees.  The Windspeed management agreement was extended effective on February 21, 2011 until February 20, 2013.  The Company currently plans to extend the agreement (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Under the terms of the extended management agreement, and any anticipated extension, Windspeed is not, and will not, be paid any ongoing management fees.  In lieu of such management fee payment, 100% of any proceeds from certain companies in the portfolio will go to Windspeed.  As a result of such arrangement, and as of February 21, 2011 management agreement, the Company established a prepaid expense in the amount of $131,000, representing the estimated fair market value of the companies for which Windspeed will be entitled to 100% of the proceeds.  The Company has amortized approximately $122,000 of the prepaid expense since the beginning of this agreement, which includes approximately $16,000 amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

The Company estimates that the realizable value for its Equity Investments in private companies, net of sharing with Windspeed (see table below), at December 31, 2012 is approximately $5,084,000. However, there is no assurance as to the timing or the amount the Company will ultimately realize on the Equity Investments.  Furthermore, as of December 31, 2012, the total portfolio of three companies, which has an estimated fair market value of approximately $5,084,000, is subject to significant concentration risk, as follows: 99% of such value is in two individual companies, and approximately 88% of such value is in one individual company.

16

The following table summarizes the changes in the estimated value of the Company’s Equity Investments since September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

		Private Companies (1) (2)
September 30, 2012 estimated realizable value	$	5,166
Realized, net of fees		(112)
Increase in unrealized estimated value		30
December 31, 2012 estimated realizable value	$	5,084

(1)Carrying value of private companies for financial statement purposes is the lower of cost or fair value, or approximately $697,000 as of December 31, 2012.  The increase in unrealized estimated value is a result of changes in marketability.

(2)Net of sharing with Windspeed under the management agreement.

Collections and recoveries: The Company has potential collections and recoveries on a limited number of remaining accounts previously written off. Recoveries involve prior lessees or debtors now in bankruptcy and against whom the Company has filed and is pursuing claims to maximize its recoveries. The Company’s cost basis in these accounts is nominal. Additionally, the Company, periodically, recovers unclaimed property from various states.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” which recommends that companies provide additional disclosure and analysis of those accounting policies considered most critical.

The Company believes the following to be among the most critical judgment areas in the application of its accounting policies:

·CDRs and CDR Liability: The Plan entitles holders of Comdisco Holding’s CDRs to share at increasing percentages in the proceeds realized from the monetization of the Company’s assets based upon the present value of distributions made to the general unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy estate of Comdisco, Inc.

The Company estimates the CDR liability based on the net equity of the Company after taking into consideration future operating costs and expenses, and other expected cash inflows in excess of book value, including estimated future interest income, estimated recoveries and any potential net distributions from the Litigation Trust which, as of the date of this filing, a reasonable estimate of future net distributions is not determinable.

·Equity Investments In Private Companies:  Equity investments in private companies consist primarily of small investments in approximately three private companies. The Company carries its common stock and preferred stock investments in private companies at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value in the financial statements. Warrants in non-public companies are carried at zero value. The Company, in consultation with Windspeed, regularly estimates the value of investments in private companies and adjusts carrying values when market and customer specific events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  All write-downs are considered permanent impairments for financial reporting purposes.  At December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investments in private

17

companies was approximately $697,000, and the estimated fair market value was approximately $5,084,000.

·Income Taxes:  The Company establishes liabilities or reduces assets for uncertain tax positions when the Company believes certain tax positions are not more likely than not to be sustained if challenged.  Each fiscal quarter, the Company evaluates these uncertain tax positions and adjusts the related tax assets and liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all the Company’s accounting policies. Please refer to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which contain the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Recent Developments

Bankruptcy Proceeding

Status Hearings:  The Company continues to appear before the Bankruptcy court from time to time to clarify and administer matters related to the Plan and the wind down of the operations of the Company.  On June 28, 2011, the bankruptcy case of Comdisco, Inc., case no. 01-24795, was reassigned from Judge Bruce Black to Judge Jack Schmetterer.  The Judge held a status hearing on November 5, 2012. As of the date of this report, the Judge has not scheduled another status hearing date.

SIP Litigation mediation by bankruptcy judge:On November 5, 2012, during the scheduled status hearing before Bankruptcy Judge Schmetterer, legal counsels for the SIP defendants requested that the Judge participate in settlement discussions of the SIP litigation matters pending in the federal and state courts. The counsels for the SIP defendants advised the Judge that a global settlement offer had been made to the Litigation Trust based upon the ability to pay and a litigation risk discount. Counsel for the Litigation Trust advised the Judge that some of the SIP defendants have not delivered their financial disclosures. Therefore, the Litigation Trustee could not properly evaluate the global settlement offer. The Judge concurred with the Litigation Trust counsel and strongly suggested to the SIP defendants’ counsels that their clients make the requested financial disclosures. The Judge then set a further hearing for November 13, 2012.

On November 13, 2012, Judge Schmetterer further instructed the SIP defendants’ counsels to have their clients comply with the requests for financial disclosures by November 27, 2012 and set a hearing for that date.  The Judge also advised them that, if the SIP defendants would not cooperate with meaningful financial disclosure, then he would not involve himself in attempting to mediate a settlement.

On November 27, 2012, the counsels for the SIP defendants advised Judge Schmetterer that they had turned over additional financial information to the Litigation Trust and that five of the SIP defendants, while wanting to participate in the global settlement, had refused to provide any additional financial disclosures. The counsel for the Litigation Trust informed the Judge that the additional information had been received that morning and the Litigation Trustee had not had sufficient time to evaluate it. The Judge set a hearing for December 6, 2012 and instructed the parties to discuss settlement in the interim.

On December 6, 2012, the Judge closed the mediation proceedings to solely the parties and their attorneys and the mediation was conducted behind closed doors.

On January 4, 2013 and January 25, 2013, additional mediation meetings were held before Judge Schmetterer.  The next mediation meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2013.

Litigation Trust Ongoing Litigation

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Litigation Trust ongoing litigation.

18

Litigation Trust Termination Motion

On March 16, 2006, a motion was filed in the Bankruptcy court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of certain SIP Participants who had filed proofs of claim in the Comdisco, Inc. bankruptcy (“SIP Claimants”). The motion sought an order from the Bankruptcy court terminating the Litigation Trust. On July 20, 2006, the Bankruptcy court judge denied the motion of the SIP Claimants. On August 18, 2006, the SIP Claimants appealed the Bankruptcy court judge’s denial of their motion. On January 30, 2007, the federal district court judge affirmed the denial of the motion. The SIP Claimants appealed the denial to the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. A mandatory mediation was held on April 20, 2007. The mediation was adjourned and no settlement was achieved by the parties. The parties briefed the appeal, and oral arguments were held before the Appellate Court on November 26, 2007.  On August 13, 2008, the Appellate Court ruled and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. As of the date of this filing, there have been no further proceedings on this matter.

Costs and Expenses

Changes in total costs and expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended December 31,		Percent Increase
	2012	2011	(Decrease)	Explanation of Change

Total costs and expenses	$        723	$        698	4%

(A)SG&A expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 has benefited from lower international accounting and legal fees and lower amortization of insurance expense as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

19

(B)The CDR expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 is primarily the result of equity gains and bad debt recoveries in the current quarter.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” for more information.

(C)Foreign exchange loss primarily relates to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the current quarter against the Canadian Dollar as the Company’s foreign subsidiaries held monetary assets denominated in that currency.

(D)The recoveries received during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were due to a previously written off claim in a foreign bankruptcy estate and a settlement on a disputed obligation owed to the Company.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded no U.S. federal income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company recorded approximately $12,000 of income tax expense for its Canadian subsidiary for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The Company recorded $10,000 of income tax expense for its Canadian subsidiary for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has been pursuing an income tax refund from the province of Ontario. On February 1, 2013, the Company’s Canadian tax advisors informed it that the local tax official was inclined to concur with the reassessments already issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for the tax years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001.  However, the province of Ontario is not obligated to issue such reassessments, and any decision made by local tax officials is not binding until approved by a higher authority.  As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate, as of the date of this filing, the amount, if any, of a refund arising from such reassessment.

The Company recorded no income tax expense for its Mexican subsidiary for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Net loss

Net loss was approximately ($593,000), or ($0.15) per share-basic and diluted, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of approximately ($575,000), or ($0.14) per share-basic and diluted, for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that could be expected to have a material current or future effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity generally depends on cash on hand.  The Company’s cash flow from operating activities is dependent on a number of variables, including, but not limited to, operating costs and expenses to affect the wind down, income tax obligations, market conditions for the sale of Equity Investments and the ability of the Company to dispose or otherwise convert to cash its remaining assets. All funds generated from the collection of remaining assets are required by the Plan to be used to satisfy liabilities of the Company and, to the extent funds are available, to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock and to make distributions with respect to the CDRs in the manner and priorities set forth in the Plan. Because of the composition and nature of its remaining assets, the Company expects to generate funds from the sale or collection of its remaining assets at a decreasing rate over time.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $28,930,000, which represented a decrease of approximately $419,000 compared to September 30, 2012.  Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $411,000.  The effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

20

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, $112,000 in proceeds were generated from the equity portfolios and approximately $28,000 was received from bad debt recoveries, interest income and other revenue.  The Company’s cash expenditures were primarily operating expenses of approximately $551,000 (principally professional services and employee compensation).

The Company’s current and future liquidity depends on cash on hand and may be augmented by proceeds from the sale of Equity Investments, recoveries, if any, and interest income. The Company expects its cash on hand to be sufficient to fund operations and to meet its obligations (including its obligation to make distributions to its common stockholders and make payments to CDR holders) under the Plan for the foreseeable future.

Other escrows:The Company maintains a bank guaranty in the Netherlands in the approximate amount of $347,000 which was provided to a landlord to induce it to release equipment leased by one of the Company’s former subsidiaries to a tenant. The tenant’s bankruptcy is still pending and the landlord’s rent claim has not been resolved which has necessitated that the Company maintain the bank guaranty. In the past, the bankruptcy trustee has consistently advised that it was not likely that the landlord would be paid any amount of its rent claim. Therefore, the Company fully reserved the amount of the guaranty. However, on January 29, 2013, the Company’s European counsel was advised by the bankruptcy trustee that there may be a payment on the rent claim, but it would not disclose the amount. Any payment by the bankruptcy trustee to the landlord on the rent claim could reduce the Company’s obligation on the bank guaranty. Given the uncertainty as to the amount to be paid on the rent claim, as of the date of this filing, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount, if any, to be recovered on the bank guaranty.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Company intends to treat any future dividend distributions for federal income tax purposes as part of a series of liquidating distributions in complete liquidation of the Company.

Contingent Distribution Rights

For financial reporting purposes, the Company records CDRs as a liability and as an operating expense although the CDRs trade over-the-counter.

The Plan entitles holders of CDRs to share at increasing percentages in the proceeds realized from the Company’s assets based upon the present value of distributions to certain C-4 creditors in the bankruptcy estate of Comdisco, Inc. As of December 31, 2012, the sharing percentage was 37%, which is the maximum sharing percent.  As of the date of this filing, there were 1,858 holders of record of the Company’s CDRs and there were 148,448,188 outstanding CDRs.

The Company maintains sufficient cash reserves for operations and the potential CDR liability arising from the Company’s equity and any potential net distributions from the Litigation Trust to the C-4 creditors.  The outcome and the timing of the actual net distributions from the Litigation Trust will impact both the timing and the amount of future dividends and CDR payments.

Since September 30, 2008, the Company has estimated, and will continue to estimate, the CDR liability based on the net equity of the Company after taking into consideration future operating costs and expenses, and other expected cash inflows in excess of book value, including estimated future interest income, estimated recoveries and any potential net distributions from the Litigation Trust for which, as of the date of this filing, a reasonable estimate of future net distributions is not determinable.

CDR Payment

There were no CDR payments during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

5.5No Other Contributions.  Except as provided in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3 or the Act, no Member shall be required or permitted to make any contribution of cash, property or services, to return any distributions received in accordance with this Agreement or to make any loan, to the Company or to any creditor of the Company (including, without limitation, to restore a deficit balance in such Member’s capital account).  No Member shall be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the Manager or any other Member.

5.6Capital Accounts.  The Manager shall maintain capital accounts for the Members in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  In that regard, the Manager may make such adjustments to the Members’ capital accounts as it determines are necessary and in accordance with the Treasury Regulations in connection with any contribution to or distribution by the Company of more than a de minimis amount of money or other property in exchange for an interest in the Company.  If a Member holds interests of more than one (1) class, separate capital accounts shall be maintained for such Member for each such class of interests.  A Transferee of an interest in the Company shall succeed to the capital account of its Transferor to the extent allocable, based on the terms of the Transfer, to the Transferred interest.

6.Allocations of Profit and Loss; Tax Allocations.

6.1Profit and Loss.  The Manger shall allocate the Company’s profits and losses (and the component items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit) among the Members on a portfolio by portfolio basis.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Manager may make such special allocations as it reasonably determines to be appropriate (i) to comply with the rules set forth in the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code governing (a) allocations of “nonrecourse deductions”, “partner nonrecourse deductions” and other items lacking “economic effect”, (b) “minimum gain chargebacks” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargebacks”, and (c) allocations in connection with the exercise of options and conversions of equity or debt interests or instruments, and (ii) for this Agreement to contain a “qualified income offset” provision within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. In no event, however, shall any such allocations affect the amount or timing of any distribution to be made to any Member hereunder.

6.2Curative Allocations.  The Members intend that their capital account balances as of the time immediately before the liquidating distributions are made pursuant to Section 14 equal the amounts of such distributions to be made to them so that they have zero (0) balances in their capital accounts after the liquidating distributions are made.  Subject to the requirements of the Treasury Regulations as contemplated by Section 6.1 (the “Regulatory Allocations”), the Company shall make such special allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expenditure as the Manager determines are required to give effect to such intent (including, without limitation, to cure any imbalances that might otherwise be caused by the Regulatory Allocations).  The Manager may reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expenditure for prior open taxable years to give effect to such intent if it reasonably and in good faith determines that such items for the current and future taxable years will be insufficient to give effect to such intent.

- 5

6.3Varying Interests.  If any interest in the Company is Transferred during any accounting period, allocations of profit or loss and items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such interest for such period shall be made using such method or methods (including, without limitation, an “interim closing” method) as the Manager and the Members determine to be appropriate and in compliance with Section 706 of the Code.

6.4Tax Allocations.  Tax allocations shall be made consistent with the allocations of book profit or loss made pursuant to Sections 6.1, except that, solely for tax purposes, (i) items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expenditure with respect to Company assets reflected hereunder in the Members’ capital accounts and on the books of the Company at values that differ from the Company’s adjusted tax bases in such assets shall be allocated among the Members in such manner, and using such method or methods as the Manager determines to be appropriate (it being agreed, however, that allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.6 on account of book/tax disparities with respect to securities held by the Company shall be made using the “traditional” method described in Section 1.704-3(b) of the Treasury Regulations except as the Manager, with the approval of the Class A Member, determines to be appropriate), and (ii) any items of gain recognized by the Company that are subject to the depreciation recapture provisions of Sections 1245 and 1250 of the Code shall be allocated among the Members in such manner as is necessary to comply with Sections 704, 1245 and 1250 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

6.5Tax Credits.  Any tax credits of the Company for any fiscal year or other accounting period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their allocations of the Company’s profit or loss, as the case may be, for such fiscal year or other accounting period.

6.6Tax Elections.  The Company shall make such elections under the Code and the Treasury Regulations (including, without limitation, those permitted by Sections 704(b), 704(c), 709(b) and 754 of the Code), and state tax or similar laws, as the Manager and the Fund A Advisor determine to be appropriate.

6.7Tax Matters Partner.  Windspeed (or an Entity that has become Manager pursuant to Section 8.1.3 upon the Transfer to it of Windspeed’s interest in the Company) shall be the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Company, as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, for purposes of any tax audit of the Company for as long as it is a Manager and a Class B Member.  At such time as neither Windspeed nor any such Transferee of its interest is the Tax Matters Partner, a successor Tax Matters Partner shall be designated by the Portfolio A Advisor in accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations.  The Tax Matters Partner shall have all of the rights, duties, obligations and powers of a Tax Matters Partner, as so defined, under the Code, subject to Section 8.3.10.

7.Distributions.

7.1Net Portfolio Receipts.  Subject to Sections 7.2, 7.5, 7.6, 8.1.4, 8.3, 14, 15 and any legal or contractual restrictions on the Company’s ability to make distributions to the Members, the Manager shall make distributions by wire transfer of any Net Portfolio Receipts (and any other available cash, other than amounts contributed by the Members, the Company may have) as promptly as it determines to be appropriate (but not less frequently than quarterly) as follows:

7.1.1 For purposes of Portfolio A:

85% to the Class A Member and 15% to the Class B Member.

7.1.2 For purposes of Portfolio AA:

7.1.2.1First, to all of the Members (Class A and Class B) in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages until (i) the amount that has been distributed pursuant to this Section 7.1.2.1 (including so much of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 as relate to this Section 7.1.2.1) for all fiscal years and other accounting periods equals (ii) the sum of the Members’ Capital Contributions less the sum of the amounts that have been returned to the Members pursuant to Section 5.4;

7.1.2.2Second, 90% to all of the Members (Class A and Class B) in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages, and 10% to the Class B Member, until (i) the amount that has been distributed to the Class A Members pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 (including so much of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 as related to this Section 7.1.2) for all fiscal years and other accounting periods equals (ii) (a) 1.8 times (b) the sum of the Class A Members’ Capital Contributions less the sum of the amounts that have been returned to the Class A Members pursuant to Section 5.4;

7.1.2.3Third, 80% to all of the Members (Class A and Class B) in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages, and 20% to the Class B Member, until (i) the amount that has been distributed to the Class A Members pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 (including so much of Sections 7.2 and 7.3 as relate to this Section 7.1.2) for all fiscal years and other accounting periods equals (ii) (a) 2.3 times (b) the sum of the Class A Members’ Capital Contributions less the sum of the amounts that have been returned to the Class A Members pursuant to Section 5.4; and

7.1.2.4Fourth, thereafter, 70% to all of the Members (Class A and Class B) in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages, and 30% to the Class B Member.

7.1.3 For purposes of Portfolio B:

In lieu of any further Management Fee under this Agreement, from and after February 21, 2011, 100% to the Class B Member. Based on discussions among the parties and the valuation estimates of the Manager, as of February 21, 2011, the parties concur that the estimated value of the securities related to the companies in

- 7

Portfolio B is approximately $154,211.00.

7.2Tax Distributions.  Notwithstanding Sections 7.1 and 7.6, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to make advance distributions to the Members within a reasonable period of time before taxes are due in such amounts and proportions as are necessary for the distributions made with respect to their interests (including to predecessor holders of such interests) for all fiscal years and other accounting periods to equal their respective Tax Liabilities as of the time of determination; provided, however, that advance distributions may be made with respect to the portion of a Member’s Tax Liability relating to any particular portfolio only from cash receipts of the Company with respect to such portfolio.  Distributions pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made in advance of the dates by which the corresponding tax amounts are due.  Any advance distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall offset an equal amount of distributions that would otherwise thereafter be made to such Member pursuant to Section 7.1 (or, in the case of the Class C Member, pursuant to Section 7.6).

7.3[Intentionally Omitted]

7.4Distributions in Kind.  Subject to Sections 8.8, 14, 15 and any legal or contractual restrictions on the Company’s ability to make distributions to the Members, the Manager may from time to time cause the Company to distribute Marketable Securities in kind.  Any in kind distribution of a Marketable Security shall be made to the Members in accordance with Section 7.1.  Any such in kind distribution shall be made as if such Marketable Security were an amount of Net Portfolio Receipts   equal to its value as determined pursuant to Section 7.7 (and, for purposes of thereafter applying Section 7.1, or so much of any other provision of this Agreement as relates to the applicable one of such Sections, shall be treated as having been distributed pursuant to such Section).  For purposes of determining and allocating profit, loss and other items pursuant to Section 6, any Marketable Security that is to be distributed in kind shall be treated as having then been sold by the Company for its value as determined for purposes of applying this Section 7.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as CDI (or an Affiliate of CDI that has become a Class A Member upon the Transfer to it of CDI’s Class A interest in the Company) is the Class A Member, the Manager will attempt to sell and convert into cash any Marketable Securities for at least 180 days after such securities have attained the status of Marketable Securities in Portfolio A and Portfolio AA.  The Manager may, in its discretion and with the consent of the Class A Member, distribute Marketable Securities from Portfolio A or Portfolio AA in kind to a Class B Member during such 180-day period; provided that the value of any such distribution to the Class B Member of a share of Marketable Securities in kind shall be deemed to be the comparable per share cash value of the cash distributions made to the Class A Member as a result of the disposition of such in kind Marketable Securities.

7.5[Intentionally Omitted]

7.6[Intentionally Omitted]

7.7Valuation of Securities.  The value of any security shall be determined as provided in this Section 7.7.

7.7.1Any security that is listed on a national securities exchange shall be valued at its average last sale price as recorded by the New York composite tape system over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such valuation  or, if the security is not included in such system, at its average last sale price over such ten (10) trading days on the principal national securities exchange on which such security is traded, as recorded by such exchange (using instead of the last sale price, for any such day on which no sales occurred, the mean between the closing “bid” and “asked” prices on such day as recorded by such system or such exchange, as the case may be).

7.7.2Any security that is listed on the Nasdaq National Market shall be valued at its average last sale price over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such valuation as reported by Nasdaq (using instead of the last sale price, for any day on which no sales occurred, the mean between the closing “bid” and “asked” prices on such day as reported by Nasdaq).

7.7.3Any security that is not listed on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market but that is traded in the over-the-counter market in the United States shall be valued at the average mean between the closing “bid” and “asked” prices for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such valuation as reported by Nasdaq or, if not so reported, as reported in the over-the-counter market in the United States.

7.7.4Any security in the form of an option, warrant or similar security for which no price quotation is available shall be valued by determining the value of the underlying security in accordance with Sections 7.7.1, 7.7.2, 7.7.3 or 7.7.5, as applicable, and subtracting therefrom the exercise or conversion price of such security; and

7.7.5Any security that is not subject to valuation under any of the preceding provisions of this Section 7.7 shall be assigned the value established for such security in the last round of financing of the issuer of such security plus or minus any adjustments which the Manager reasonably determines to be appropriate to reflect market, issuer or other events that have occurred subsequent to such last round of financing, all consistently applied.

The foregoing valuation methodologies contained in this Section 7.7 will be used by the Manager for purposes of stating the fair value for the period stated of the

Company’s Portfolio investments in the Company’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital as of the applicable quarterly reporting date.

8.Management.

8.1Manager.

8.1.1The management and operation of the Company, and the development and implementation of Company policies, shall be and hereby are vested in the Manager, which shall be Windspeed unless and until it ceases to serve as Manager pursuant to Section 8.1.3 or Section 8.1.4.  Subject to Section 8.3 and any other applicable limitations imposed by this Agreement, the Manager shall have exclusive authority to exercise on behalf of the Company all of the powers of the Company hereunder (including, without limitation, those specified in Section 2) and to take such other actions as it determines are necessary, advisable or incidental to the carrying on of the Company’s business and affairs.  The parties agree that any Person serving as Manager hereunder shall be a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Act (with the rights, powers and duties in such capacity provided in this Agreement) for as long as it so serves.  In dealings with the Members, or with or on behalf of the Company, the Manager shall act in good faith and in the manner it believes to be, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and the Members.  The Manager and its individual members shall have fiduciary responsibilities, solely with respect to the Members, as set forth under the Act and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in like manner and to the same extent as if such persons served directly as individual Managers of the Company.

8.1.2A Manager shall serve until its successor becomes Manager hereunder or, if earlier, until it ceases to serve as Manager pursuant to Section 8.1.3 or Section 8.1.4.  If a Manager ceases to serve as such for any reason (other than, in the case of Windspeed, by its Transfer of its interest in the Company to another Entity that is Controlled by any two (2) or more of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team and that thereupon becomes the Manager as provided in Section 8.1.3), any vacancy thereby created may be filled by a Person designated by the Class A Member or the Portfolio A Advisor.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the cessation of any Member’s services as Manager shall not, in and of itself, affect its rights, or constitute its withdrawal, as a Member.

8.1.3A Manager may not resign without the approval of the Class A Member; provided, however, that upon any Transfer by Windspeed pursuant to Section 11 of its interest in the Company to an Entity Controlled by any two (2) or more of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team, such Entity shall become the Manager upon its admission to the Company as a substituted Class B Member.

8.1.4A Manager may not be removed except (i) by vote of the Class A Member and (ii) if such Manager is Windspeed (or an Entity that has become Manager pursuant to Section 8.1.3 upon the Transfer to it of Windspeed’s interest in the

- 10

Company), (a) for Cause, (b) if at least two (2) of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team are no longer actively committed to the Manager in accordance with Section 8.1.5, or (c) upon the occurrence of a Retirement Event relating to the Manager.  If so removed as a Manager for Cause, (i) any distributions (including distributions earned but not yet made) which such removed Manager, or any affiliate thereof, may be entitled to receive as a Member shall be forfeited and (ii) such removed Manager, or any affiliate thereof, shall thereafter no longer be entitled to any further distributions of the Company and (iii) shall have none of the rights and powers of a Member hereunder or under the Act (including, without limitation, to vote, give consents or approvals, or otherwise manage or participate in the affairs of the Company). A removal for Cause shall be effective immediately upon receipt of notice; a Manager’s removal without Cause shall be effective 30 days following receipt of notice.

8.1.5Until the termination of the Company (as hereinafter provided in Section 14.4), Windspeed and at least two (2) of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team shall devote to the Company such time and resources and maintain such staffing as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to administer and conduct the Company’s affairs in accordance with the terms hereof and in a manner intended to conform to the best interest of the Company.

8.2Portfolio A and Portfolio AA Advisor.

8.2.1The Class A Member will from time to time appoint an individual to act as the Portfolio A and Portfolio AA Advisor hereunder (collectively the “Portfolio A Advisor”).  A Portfolio A Advisor may (i) resign upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Class A Member (which notice will be waived by the Class A Member) and (ii) be removed at any time, for any reason or no reason, by the Class A Member.  Any vacancy created by the resignation, removal or other event with respect to a Portfolio A Advisor may be filled by the Class A Member.

8.2.2The Manager shall not take any action expressly requiring the approval of the Portfolio A Advisor hereunder without such approval (or, if there is then no Portfolio A Advisor, the approval of the Class A Member).  In addition, the Manager shall consult with the Portfolio A Advisor regarding potential conflicts of interest and other matters as the Manager from time to time determines to be appropriate.  With regard to any potential conflict of interest, the Manager shall provide the Portfolio A Advisor with a written proposal containing an analysis outlining the conflict and the reasonably foreseeable economic ramifications thereof to the Company and Portfolio A and/or Portfolio AA.  The Manager shall promptly consider in good faith (without being obligated to comply with) any recommendations that are promptly made by the Portfolio A Advisor in response to any such proposal.  Because of the relative interest of CDI in the Company and Portfolio A and Portfolio AA, the Manager acknowledges its fiduciary duty to CDI to maximize the value of CDI’s interest in the Company after considering the recommendations of the Portfolio A Advisor and consistent with its duties to the members.

8.2.3    Except in its capacity as Manager, liquidating trustee or other authorized service provider, no Member shall have any authority to act for or on behalf of the Company or any other Member or to bind the Company or any other Member in any way, to pledge the Company’s credit or to render the Company liable for any purpose.

8.5       Management Fee. Since and as of February 21, 2011, the Manager has not been, and shall not be, entitled to any further management fees (the “Management Fee”).

8.6       Assignment.  With the approval of the Class A Member, the Manager may delegate or assign any or all of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, including, without limitation, pursuant to a separate management contract between the delegee and the Company.  The Class A Member shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any such delegation or assignment if the delegate or assignee is an Entity controlled by any two (2) or more of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team.

8.7       Other Activities of Manager.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and subject to Section 8.1.5, the Manager may engage in other profit-seeking and business ventures of any kind, nature or description (including, without limitation, making and managing investments in securities for its own account or the account of others), independently or with others, and the pursuit of such ventures by the Manager shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.  Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement or the

relationship established hereby in or to any independent ventures of the Manager or the profits or losses derived therefrom.

8.8       [Intentionally Omitted]

11.       Transfers.

11.1     Restrictions on Transfer.  A Member may not Transfer any interest in the Company without the express written consent of the Manager and each of the other Members; provided, however, (i) that the consent of the Manager and the other Members pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall not be required if such Transfer (a) is made by CDI in accordance with Section 11.2, (b) will not violate or fail to comply with any federal or state securities law or regulation, (c) will not cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code, (d) will not cause the Company to be an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (e) will not cause the assets of the Company or any part thereof to be treated as assets of any employee benefit plan or trust subject to ERISA, (f) will not constitute a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and (ii) that the Manager and the other Members may not unreasonably withhold their consents (if required) to any Transfer of an interest in the Company by an Entity to another Entity that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Transferring Entity if (a) in the case of a Transfer by a Class A Member, the Manager has determined that all of the obligations of such Class A Member to the Company  will be satisfied in accordance with their terms or (b) in the case of a Transfer by a Class B Member, the Transferee is Controlled by any two (2) or more of the individuals comprising the Windspeed Team.  The Manager, in its sole discretion, may require any Member (or unadmitted assignee of a Member) who proposes to make any Transfer not requiring consents under this Section 11.1 to provide the Company with a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Manager that such Transfer will comply with applicable securities laws.  In its sole discretion, the Manager may disregard as void any Transfer made in violation of this Section 11.1.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no consent or legal opinion will be required in connection with a Transfer of an interest in the Company by CDI to an Affiliate.

11.2     Right of First Offer.  Notwithstanding the consent requirements of Section 11.1 (but subject to the other provisions thereof), a Class A Member may Transfer its interest (or any portion thereof) in compliance with the following procedures:

11.2.1  If a Class A Member (a “Selling Member”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Company to any Person other than an Affiliate of CDI, such Selling Member shall give notice of its intent to make such Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Manager.  The Transfer Notice shall set forth (i) the portion of the Selling Member’s interest to be Transferred (the “Offered Interest”) and (ii) if known to the Selling Member, the identity of the prospective Transferee and the material terms of the proposed Transfer to the prospective Transferee.

- 16

11.2.2  The Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to the Selling Member, before the close of the ten (10) day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to the Manager (such period, the “Offer Period”), a written offer (an “Offer”) to purchase the Offered Interest.  An Offer shall set forth all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed purchase of the Offered Interest.  The Manager’s rights to make the Offer and to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant thereto shall be assignable by the Manager to such one (1) or more Persons as the Manager determines to be appropriate (subject to compliance by the Manager with the provisions of Section 11.1 as if such rights were an interest in the Company).  During the Offer Period, the Selling Member shall not solicit proposals or offers from, or engage in discussions with, other parties regarding the sale of the Offered Interest.

11.2.3  The Selling Member shall have no obligation to accept an Offer by the Manager (or its assignee).  Any closing of the purchase of the Offered Interest by the Manager (or its assignee), however, shall take place on such date, and at such time and place, as the Selling Member and the Manager (or its assignee) shall agree upon.  At such closing, the Manager (or its assignee) shall make such deliveries in payment for the Offered Interest as are contemplated by the Offer, and the Selling Member shall deliver such executed documentation (including, without limitation, any required consents) to the Manager (or its assignee) as may be required to effect the Transfer of the Offered Interest to the Manager (or its assignee) and the admission of the Manager (or its assignee) as a substituted Member with respect to the Offered Interest.  All of the foregoing deliveries shall be deemed to be made simultaneously and none shall be deemed completed until all have been completed.

11.2.4  If the Manager (or its assignee) does not purchase the Offered Interest in accordance with Section 11.2.3, then, subject to Section 11.1, the Selling Member shall be entitled to Transfer the Offered Interest to a third party Transferee at any time during the one hundred fifty (150) day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice.  If the Offered Interest (or any portion thereof) has not been transferred within such one hundred fifty (150) day period, no Transfer of any portion of the Offered Interest shall be effective unless the Selling Member has again complied with the provisions of this Section 11 as to the Offered Interest.  As a condition to the effectiveness of any Transfer of the Offered Interest to a third party Transferee pursuant to this Section 11.2.4, (i) such Transferee shall (a) execute and deliver such documents and agreements as the Manager reasonably determines to be appropriate to effect such Transferee’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (b) take such other actions as the Manager may reasonably determine to be necessary to effect the admission of such Transferee to the Company, to qualify the Company to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability status of the Members, and (ii) the Selling Member and the Transferee shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements, and take such other actions, as the Manager may reasonably require to ensure that all of the obligations of the Selling Member to the Company and Fund B (including, without limitation, the obligation of the Selling Member to fund its

- 17

commitment to Fund B with the escrow established pursuant to Section 7.5) will be satisfied in accordance with their terms.

11.3     Assignees.  Unless and until a Person who has acquired an interest in the Company by any form of Transfer has been admitted to the Company as a Member, such Person shall have the status of an non-admitted assignee of such interest and, as such, shall have none of the rights and powers of a Member hereunder or under the Act (including, without limitation, to vote, give consents or approvals, access Company records or otherwise manage or participate in the affairs of the Company) other than to receive the distributions and allocations that such Person’s predecessor would have been entitled to receive hereunder with respect to such interest.  A Member who Transfers its entire interest in the Company shall cease to have any of the rights and powers of a Member.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to treat the record holder of any interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to such record holder, until such time as it has received written notice of such Transfer and all of the conditions to the effectiveness of such Transfer hereunder have been satisfied.  A Person who acquires an interest in the Company (by any form of Transfer) but is not admitted as a substituted Member may not Transfer all or any portion of such interest without complying with this Section 11 in full as if such Person were a Member for such purpose.

11.4     Substituted Members.  A Person who acquires an interest in the Company by any form of Transfer shall be admitted to the Company as a substituted Member only (i) with the consent of the Manager and each of the other Members, (ii) by satisfying the applicable requirements of Sections 11.1 and 11.2, (iii) by executing and delivering such documents and agreements as the Manager reasonably determines to be appropriate to effect such Person’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iv) if necessary, upon an amendment to this Agreement or such other instrument, executed by all necessary parties and filed or recorded in the proper records of each jurisdiction in which such recordation is necessary to preserve the limited liability status of the Members; provided, however, that the Manager and the other Members (a) shall have no rights to consent to the admission pursuant to this Section 11.4 of any Transferee of an interest in the Company if they had no rights to consent to the Transfer of such interest to such Transferee under Section 11.1 and (b) may not unreasonably withheld their consents to the admission pursuant to this Section 11.4 of any Transferee of an interest in the Company if they could not unreasonably withhold their consents to the Transfer of such interest to such Transferee under Section 11.1.  The admission of a substituted Member shall not dissolve the Company and shall be shown in the books and records of the Company.  The Manager shall promptly provide the Members with written notice of the admission of any substituted Member.

11.5     Rights of Representatives.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an individual Member that is an Entity is dissolved or terminated, the powers of such Member may be exercised by its personal representative to the extent required by the Act.

- 18

11.6     Partial Transfers.  If there are two (2) or more Class A Members or Class B Members, as the case may be, after any Transfer by a Class A Member or Class B Member of an interest in the Company, then any subsequent consent, approval, vote or other action of “the Class A Member” or  “the Class B Members” hereunder (including, without limitation, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.11) shall be validly effected if given or taken, as the case may be, by a majority in interest of the Class A Members or  Class B Members as the case may be (based on their Capital Contributions, rights to share in distributions or other factors as the Manager determines, based on the terms of the Transfer, to be appropriate).

11.7     Costs and Expenses.  Any costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer or proposed Transferor of an interest in the Company shall be paid or reimbursed by the Transferor of such interest.

12.       Withdrawals.

12.1     Withdrawals.  Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Member may (i) resign or withdraw from the Company or (ii) receive any distribution from the Company on account of its resignation or withdrawal (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) before the liquidation of the Company.

12.2     Retirement Events.  From and after the time a Retirement Event occurs with respect to any Member (such Member, the “Retired Member”), such Retired Member (and, subject to Section 11, any Transferee of any interest of such Retired Member in the Company) shall, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, have the status of an unadmitted assignee of its interest in the Company and, as such, shall have none of the rights and powers of a Member hereunder or under the Act (including, without limitation, to vote, give consents or approvals, access Company records or otherwise manage or participate in the affairs of the Company) other than to receive the distributions and allocations that it otherwise would have been entitled to receive hereunder with respect to such interest.

13.       Actions of the Members.

13.1     In General.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Member’s consent, approval, vote or other action as to any matter may be effected by (i) the affirmative vote by such Member to the doing of the act or thing under consideration at any meeting called and held pursuant to Section 13.2 to consider such act or thing or (ii) a written consent given by such Member at, prior to or after the doing of the act or thing under consideration pursuant to Section 13.3.

13.2     Meetings.  Any matter requiring the action of any one (1) or more of the Members hereunder may be considered at a meeting called by the Manager or any Member and held not less than three (3) nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Member(s) entitled to vote at the meeting.  Any such notice shall state briefly the purpose, time and place of the meeting.

- 19

A Member may waive in writing the requirements for notice of a meeting before, during or after such meeting (and the attendance of a Member at any meeting shall constitute such Member’s waiver).  All such meetings shall be held at such reasonable times and places as the Manager (or, in the case of a meeting of the Class A Member(s), such Class A Member(s)) shall determine.  A Member may participate in any meeting by conference telephone call or similar communications equipment if all the Persons participating in such meeting can hear each other.  Such participation of a Member shall constitute the presence of such Member at such meeting.  At any meeting of one (1) or more of the Members, the presence in person, or by conference telephone call or similar communications equipment, of Members sufficient to approve the action under consideration shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting.  When a quorum is present at any meeting of one (1) or more of the Members, the vote of Members sufficient to approve the action under consideration shall decide any matter brought before such meeting, unless the matter is one upon which by express provision of law or this Agreement, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision on such matter.

13.3     Action Without Meeting.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of any one (1) or more of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by one (1) or more Members (or their proxy holders) whose votes would be sufficient to authorize or take such action at a meeting and delivered to the Company (and, if the consent of more than one (1) Member is required, are delivered to the Company within a period of sixty (60) consecutive days).  Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.  Prompt notice of the taking of any action without a meeting by fewer than all of the Members entitled to participate in such action shall be given to those Members who have not consented in writing.

13.4     Proxies.  A Member entitled to vote at a meeting of one (1) or more of the Members, or to express consent or dissent to Company action in writing without a meeting, may authorize another Person or Persons to act for it by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

13.5     No Other Voting Rights.  A Member shall have no rights to vote, give consents or approvals, or otherwise manage or participate in the affairs of the Company except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any mandatory provision of the Act.

14.       Dissolution; Wind-up; Liquidating Distributions.

written election to dissolve the Company adopted by the Class A Member at any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement or (iii) the time of the judicial dissolution of the Company under the Act.

14.2Wind-up.  The Manager (or, if one is appointed under the Act, a liquidating trustee) shall be responsible for the winding up and liquidation of the Company.  Subject to Section 8.3 (it being agreed, however, that Section 8.3.1 shall not apply after the Company’s dissolution), after the dissolution of the Company, the Manager (or such liquidating trustee) shall collect the Company’s receivables, pay the Company’s debts and obligations, and liquidate or distribute the Company’s assets as promptly as is practicable and consistent with obtaining fair value for the Company’s assets, having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant markets and general financial and economic conditions.  After the Company’s affairs have been wound up and its debts and obligations have been paid or provided for, the Manager shall (i) make a final allocation of Profit or Loss, as the case may be, and other items in such amounts and proportions as are necessary (to the extent possible) for the Members’ capital account balances to equal the amounts of any remaining assets of the Company they would be entitled to receive if such remaining assets were to be distributed in accordance with Section 7 (subject to the limitations set forth therein) and (ii) then distribute such remaining assets to the Members in accordance with Section 7.  Until the Company’s termination pursuant to Section 14.4, the business of the Company and the affairs of the Manager and Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement, provided that the Company shall engage in no further business other than in connection with its wind-up and liquidation.

14.3Bid by the Manager.  Within ninety (90) days after the Company’s election to dissolve, the Manager shall prepare and deliver to the Class A Member, at the Manager’s expense, a bid for the Class A Member’s interest in the Company at a price, and on such other terms and conditions, as the Manager determines to be appropriate in its sole discretion.  If, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such bid, the Class A Member delivers a written notice to the Manager approving the sale of its interest in the Company to the Manager at the price, and on the other terms and conditions, set forth in such bid, then the Manager shall purchase, and the Class A Member shall sell, the Class A Member’s interest in the Company at such price and on such terms and conditions.  The Manager may assign its right to purchase the interest of the Class A Member to one (1) or more Persons as it determines to be appropriate.  At any closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 14.3, the Manager (or its assignee) shall make such deliveries in payment, and the Class A Member shall make such deliveries of instruments of assignment, as are necessary to effect such purchase and sale (with all of the required deliveries deemed made simultaneously and none deemed completed until all have been completed).  If the Class A Member does not deliver such notice of approval to the Manager, the Manager shall have no obligation or right to purchase the Class A Member’s interest in the Company.

14.4Termination.  The dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall

- 21

not terminate until the winding up of the business and affairs of the Company has been completed as provided herein and a certificate of cancellation of the Company has been filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  The Manager (or the liquidating trustee, as the case may be), acting singly, is authorized to execute and file a certificate of cancellation on behalf of the Company.

14.5Liquidating Trust.  With the approval of the Portfolio A Advisor, if the Company has not been liquidated by the second anniversary of the date of its dissolution pursuant to Section 14.1, the Manager (or liquidating trustee) may distribute the non-cash assets of the Company (other than any Marketable Securities) to a trust established for the sole purposes of liquidating such remaining assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company.  The Manager (or such liquidating trustee) shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that such trust qualifies as a liquidating trust under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d).  The distribution to the trust shall constitute a final, liquidating distribution of assets pursuant to 14.2 (with any asset distributed in kind to the trust being treated as if it were an amount of cash equal its fair market value as determined pursuant to Section 7.7).  For purposes of determining and allocating Profit, Loss and other items pursuant to Section 6, any asset that is to be distributed in kind to such trust shall be treated as having then been sold by the Company for its value as determined for purposes of applying this Section 14.5 (provided that, for such purposes, the fair market value of any asset that is distributed subject to a nonrecourse indebtedness shall be deemed not to be less than the amount of such indebtedness).  The Members’ relative beneficial interests in the trust shall be equal to their respective relative interests in the assets contributed to the liquidating trust as of the time that such assets are contributed to the liquidating trust.

15.Withholding.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to withhold and pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company at such times and based upon such rates as the Manager determines to be appropriate.  If the Company makes a payment of tax for any accounting period with respect to any Member or as a result of any Member’s participation in the Company, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received the amount of such payment as a distribution from the Company on the last day of the period for which the tax is withheld and paid or, if earlier, on the last day on which such Member owned an interest in the Company.  Any deemed distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 15 shall be treated (to the extent not repaid to the Company) as an advance of, and shall offset, an equal amount of distributions that would otherwise thereafter be made to such Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 in the order that such distributions would otherwise have been made.  To the extent that the aggregate of such distributions to a Member for any month exceeds the distributions to which such Member would otherwise be entitled for such month, the amount of such excess shall be repaid by such Member to the Company within thirty (30) days after the end of such month.

16.Books; Reports.

Windspeed Acquisition Fund GP, LLC (“Windspeed”), a professional management group which the Company engaged in February 2004, manages the Company’s investments in equity securities on an ongoing basis.  Windspeed shares in the net receipts from the sale of the Company’s investments in equity securities at a set percentage in certain designated portions of the portfolio of companies.  Prior to the February 21, 2011 extension of the management agreement, Windspeed received fixed and declining management fees.  The Windspeed management agreement was extended effective February 21, 2011 until February 20, 2013.  The Company currently plans to extend the agreement (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Under the terms of the extended management agreement, and any anticipated extension, Windspeed is not, and will not, be paid any ongoing management fees.  In lieu of such management fee payment, 100% of any proceeds from certain companies in the portfolio will go to Windspeed.  As a result of such arrangement, and as of the February 21, 2011 management agreement, the Company established a prepaid expense in the amount of $131,000, representing the estimated fair market value of the companies for which Windspeed will be entitled to 100% of the proceeds.  The Company has amortized approximately $122,000 of the prepaid expense since the beginning of this agreement, which includes approximately $16,000 amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2012.  Since February 21, 2011, the prepaid management fee expense is being amortized over the two-year time period of the agreement, and realized gains on the sale of equity securities continue to be reduced by sharing amounts under the management agreement. Through December 31, 2012, the Company had received approximately $70,855,000 in proceeds from its investments in equity securities (prior to Windspeed’s management fees and sharing) since the inception of the management agreement with Windspeed. Windspeed has received approximately $12,592,000 in combined management fees and sharing through December 31, 2012.

Realized gains or losses are recorded on the trade date based upon the difference between the proceeds and the cost basis determined using the specific identification method. Net realized gains are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

Marketable equity securities:

Changes in the valuation of available-for-sale securities are included as changes in the unrealized holding gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  At December 31, 2012, the Company did not own any shares in publicly-traded companies.

The Company’s practice is to work in conjunction with Windspeed to sell its marketable equity securities within a reasonable period of time after the expiration of the lockup period utilizing various timing strategies which seek to maximize the return to the Company. However, in the future, there is no assurance as to whether or not the Company either will be able to liquidate such positions held for any lockup period or realize any amount on such positions.

Equity investments in private companies:

The Company’s policy for assessing the carrying value of equity investments in privately held companies is, in consultation with Windspeed, to regularly review and estimate the fair value of these securities.

The Company identifies and records impairment losses on equity securities when market and customer specific events and circumstances indicate the carrying value might be impaired.  All write-downs are considered permanent impairments for financial reporting purposes.

1.   Reorganization

On July 16, 2001, Comdisco, Inc. and 50 of its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Bankruptcy court”) (consolidated case number 01-24795). Comdisco Holding Company, Inc., as the successor company to Comdisco, Inc., emerged from bankruptcy under the Plan that became effective on August 12, 2002. For financial reporting purposes only, however, the effective date for implementation of fresh-start reporting was July 31, 2002.

Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 8, 2002 for the purpose of selling, collecting or otherwise reducing to money in an orderly manner the remaining assets of the Company and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Comdisco, Inc. The Company’s business purpose is limited to the orderly sale or collection of all its remaining assets. Pursuant to the Plan and restrictions contained in its Certificate, the Company is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose.

Litigation Trust: In February 1998, pursuant to the Shared Investment Plan (“SIP”), the 106 participants in the SIP (the “SIP Participants”) took out full recourse, personal loans to purchase approximately six million shares of Comdisco, Inc.’s common stock. In connection therewith, Comdisco, Inc. executed a guaranty dated February 2, 1998 (the “Guaranty”) providing a guaranty of the loans in the event of default by the SIP Participants to the lenders under the SIP (the “SIP Lenders”).  The Company and the SIP Lenders subsequently reached a settlement on the Guaranty that was approved by the Bankruptcy court on December 9, 2004.  The Plan and the litigation trust agreement provided that, under certain circumstances, subrogation rights that the Company may have against the SIP Participants who participated in the SIP and their respective promissory notes be placed in a trust for the benefit of the C-4 creditors (the “Trust Assets”).  Under the Plan, the Litigation Trust is solely responsible for collection of amounts due on the promissory notes of the 69 SIP Participants who did not take advantage of the SIP Relief (as defined in the Plan).  The Company has a limited indemnification obligation to the litigation trustee under the litigation trust agreement.

SIP Litigation: On February 4, 2005, the Litigation Trust commenced lawsuits both in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Federal SIP Lawsuits”) and in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois (the “State SIP Lawsuits”) to collect on the remaining SIP Participants’ promissory notes.

Federal SIP Lawsuits: The Litigation Trust filed and a federal district court judge entered summary judgments (and amended judgments) against all but one of the SIP Participants who were defendants (the “SIP defendants”) in the federal cases on their respective SIP promissory notes, and the Litigation Trust has commenced collection actions against them. Additionally, the federal district court judge entered orders ordering that certain CDRs and related proceeds held by the estate of Comdisco, Inc. and Computershare (f/k/a BNY Mellon) (holder of CDRs) on behalf of those SIP defendants be turned over to the Litigation Trust.  Pursuant to these orders, the Company turned over CDRs and related proceeds and will continue to do so if additional orders are entered.

The SIP defendants filed appeals on those judgments.  A hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit (the “Seventh Circuit”) on the summary judgments in the federal case was held on April 6, 2010.  The Seventh Circuit ruled on October 18, 2010 affirming rulings in favor of the Litigation Trust, but remanding certain fraud issues to the trial court.  On November 1, 2010, the SIP defendants filed a petition for a hearing before the full appellate panel. On June 28, 2011, the Seventh Circuit ruled vacating the summary judgments and remanding the cases for further proceedings.

On October 18, 2011, a hearing was held before Judge Gettleman.  A hearing was set for December 22, 2011 and the parties were also required to submit a joint status report on December 9, 2011.  On December 22, 2011, a Rule 16 scheduling conference was set for January 13, 2012.  On January 13, 2012, the judge set February 24, 2012 for both parties to tender responses to interrogatories and for both parties to exchange and provide to the court, lists of proposed depositions and subjects to be addressed.  On March 2, 2012, Judge Gettleman entered an order setting the discovery cut-off date as November 29, 2012.  On October 29, 2012, the SIP defendants filed a Motion for Extension of Discovery Cut-Off Date.  This motion was heard on November 1, 2012 at which time Judge Gettleman granted the extension through January 30, 2013.  On November 20, 2012, the Litigation Trust filed a motion to strike a jury demand, which had been filed by the SIP defendants.  At a hearing on December 6, 2012, the judge continued this motion to be heard at a status hearing on February 1, 2013.  On February 1, 2013, the Motion to Strike Jury Demand was withdrawn without prejudice.  The Joint Motion to Permit Limited Discovery after the Discovery Cut-off was granted setting March 1, 2013 as the deadline for served and pending discovery; and the expert discovery cut-off date was set as May 31, 2013.  Judge Gettleman also ordered discovery closed on August 28, 2013 and set the next status hearing for June 6, 2013.

State SIP Lawsuits: The Litigation Trust filed summary judgments against all of the SIP Participants who are defendants (the “SIP defendants”) in the state cases. On December 18, 2009, the SIP defendants filed their response, and the Litigation Trust filed its reply on February 11, 2010.  Three of the SIP defendants filed Cross Motions for Summary Judgment.  A hearing in the Circuit Court of Cook County on all of the summary judgment motions in the state cases was held on May 12, 2010, and the judge granted the summary judgments in favor of the Litigation Trust and denied the various motions for summary judgments filed by the SIP defendants.  On July 12, 2010, the SIP defendants filed a Motion for a Temporary Stay of Proceedings until the Seventh Circuit rules on the appeal of the federal judgments.  On August 10, 2010, the judge granted a temporary stay of the proceedings until November 29, 2010.  On November 29, 2010, the judge continued the proceedings until January 27, 2011.  On January 27, 2011, Judge Sanjay Tailor was assigned to the matter.  On September 14, 2011, the SIP defendants filed a Motion to Vacate Summary Judgments and Motion for Reconsideration.  At a hearing on September 21, 2011, the judge entered a Briefing Schedule Order for these motions and documents were tendered at a status hearing on January 24, 2012.  On March 16, 2012, the judge denied in part and affirmed in part the Motion to Vacate Summary Judgments.  A status hearing was held on June 14, 2012 and the judge gave the Litigation Trust permission to file an Amended Complaint.  The judge set a discovery cut-off date of November 30, 2012.  At a status hearing on October 30, 2012, Judge Tailor set a further status hearing on November 7, 2012 at which he extended the cut-off until January 31, 2013.  On July 27, 2012, the SIP defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss.  On December 7, 2012, Judge Tailor granted the Motion to Dismiss.  The Litigation Trust filed a Fourth Amended Complaint on January 4, 2013 and the SIP defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss portions of the Fourth Amended Complaint on January 28, 2013.  On January 25, 2013, Judge Tailor set the next status hearing for March 8, 2013; set March 1, 2013 as the deadline for served and pending discovery; set the expert discovery cut-off date as May 31, 2013; and set a trial date for August 5 through 23, 2013.

Ongoing Discovery: As of the date of this report, the Litigation Trust has been able to complete the depositions of all but two of the SIP defendants; provided its expert report to the SIP defendants’ counsel; and the parties have served subpoenas on third parties for depositions and document production.

Litigation Trust Reports: In 2004 and 2005, sixty-nine SIP promissory notes were transferred to the Litigation Trust.  As reported by the Litigation Trust, of the sixty-nine SIP promissory notes, nine SIP Participants have filed personal bankruptcy, thirty-five of them have settled or otherwise resolved their obligation, and twenty-five cases remain active (six in the federal court and nineteen in the state court).  As reported in the Thirty-Third Status Report of Comdisco Litigation Trustee, filed on January 31, 2013, the Litigation Trust did not reach any settlements in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Please refer to the quarterly reports filed by the Litigation Trust in the Bankruptcy court for more details. Any proceeds collected by the Litigation Trust, net of expenses, will be considered Trust Assets and distributed in accordance with the Plan and litigation trust agreement.

The incentive compensation escrow is deferred compensation as defined by the Plan and is held until an employee terminates with the Company.  The indemnification reserve is a specific reserve set aside by the Company for any potential indemnified losses in lieu of the litigation trustee purchasing insurance coverage.  Other escrows include management fee escrows and a bank guaranty held in the Netherlands.  The bank guaranty of $347,000 is fully reserved in other accrued liabilities.

Other liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012

Other liabilities		508		501
	$	13,188	$	13,061

The liability for accrued compensation includes payroll and estimated amounts payable under the Plan.

Other liabilities include an accrued liability of approximately $347,000 for a bank guaranty held in the Netherlands.  After a lessee of the Company filed bankruptcy, the Company posted a bank guaranty to obtain its equipment (which was obtained and liquidated) from the landlord who filed a claim for unpaid rent in the lessee’s bankruptcy estate.  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company was advised that there will be no funds in that lessee’s bankruptcy estate to pay the landlord’s claim.  Therefore, it is anticipated that the full amount of the bank guaranty will be called upon by the landlord.

The amounts due to CDR holders follow the formula described in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies”.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

8.   Fair Value Measurements

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

· Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

· Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

· Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are measured using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.  However, the Company records the carrying value of its private equity investments at lower of cost or fair market value which is measured using Level 3 inputs.

The Company has included a tabular disclosure for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.  The Company currently holds no financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Reconciliation of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 is as follows:

	Fair Value September 30, 2012	Realized (net of fees)		Change in Unrealized Estimated Value	Decrease due to impairment of assets		Increase due to purchase of shares		Decrease in cost basis due to sale		Decrease due to transfer from Level 3 to Level 1		Fair Value December 31, 2012

While the Company did not hold any marketable equity investments as of December 31, 2012, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” marketable equity investments (equity investments having a readily determinable fair value) would have a carrying value and a fair value based on quoted market prices. The Company’s investment in warrants of public companies were valued at the bid quotation. The Company’s practice is to sell its marketable equity investments upon the expiration of the lock-up period.

Equity investments in private companies consist primarily of small investments in approximately three private companies.  Common stock and preferred stock investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value in the Company’s financial statements. Warrants in non-public companies are carried at zero value.   The carrying value of equity investments in private companies is $697,000 and the fair market value measured using Level 3 inputs is $5,084,000, net of sharing.  These investments are subject to significant volatility and are difficult to value. The fair value of the Company’s equity investments in private companies, including warrants, was determined in consultation with Windspeed based on the market approach, including, but not limited to, quoted trading levels for publicly-traded securities in similar industries and/or markets, industry and company multiples, industry acceptance in the market place, liquidity discounts due to lock ups, estimated revenue, and customer, product and market share growth by the respective companies in the portfolio. Substantially all of these factors are outside the control of the Company and are subject to significant volatility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the estimated fair market value. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2012, the total portfolio of three companies which has an estimated fair market value of $5,084,000 is subject to significant concentration risk, as follows: 99% of such value is in two individual companies, and approximately 88% of such value is in one individual company.  However, there is no assurance as to the timing or the amount the Company will ultimately realize on these investments.

4.   Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the State of Illinois and certain foreign jurisdictions.

As of the date of this filing, the federal tax years open to examination in the U.S. are fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2011.

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Comdisco Canada Limited, is currently in the process of resolving certain tax matters with the Ontario provincial tax authorities.  The most significant tax matter is the “Notices of Objection” to reassessments which were filed for the tax years ended September 30, 2000 and 2001.  During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed final negotiations with the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) related to its federal Notices of Objection and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1,279,000.

The open federal tax years for the Canadian subsidiary are tax years ended September 30, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2008 and 2009, as well as March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The Company will continue to pursue refund efforts with the province of Ontario; however, as of the date of this filing, the Company believes a tax refund is not more likely than not to be received, therefore, no income tax receivable has been recorded.  The open tax years for the province of Ontario are tax years ended September 30, 1998 and 2007 through 2009, as well as March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The open tax year for the provinces of Quebec and Alberta is the tax year ended September 30, 1999.

The open tax years for the Mexican subsidiary are the tax years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2012.  The Company is currently working with local advisors to liquidate the Mexican subsidiary.

Uncertain Tax Positions:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands) (excluding interest and penalties) (Note A):

	For the three months endedDecember 31,	For the year endedSeptember 30,
	2012	2012
Beginning balance	$ 1,438	$  1,369
Decreases related to settlements of certain tax audits	0	(16)

Increases related to prior year tax positions	0	0
Other, including foreign exchange	(20)	85
Ending balance	$1,418	$  1,438

Note (A):  The Company previously reported its reconciliation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended September 30, 2012 as the amount of the net income tax liability including interest and penalties, which is reported in the consolidated balance sheets.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company is correcting its disclosure for the year ended September 30, 2012 and reporting this table as the gross income tax liability position.  Net operating losses of $1,264,000 are available to offset this liability, such that the net balance of approximately $154,000, if realized, would impact the effective tax rate.  This change in presentation does not impact the Company’s financial position or cash flows.

In the next twelve months, the Company’s effective tax rate and the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be affected positively or negatively by the resolution of any possible tax audits and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Based on current information, the Company believes that the range of the reasonably possible change of the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months is zero to $154,000.

As of December 31, 2012, accrued interest and penalties included in the income tax liability amounted to approximately $679,000.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.

As of December 31, 2012, the income tax liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets all relate to the Company’s Canadian subsidiary and include $154,000 in net uncertain tax positions, $679,000 in interest and penalties for the uncertain tax positions and $202,000 in withholding tax liability on a deemed dividend for a total of $1,035,000.
