ATEL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND X, LLC

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

JUNE 30, 2005
(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

 

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the Company) was formed under the laws of the state of California on August 12, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities. The Company may continue until December 31, 2021.

 

The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (Units) at a price of $10 per Unit. Upon the sale of the minimum amount of Units of 120,000 Units ($1,200,000) and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on April 9, 2003, the Company commenced operations. The Company’s offering terminated on March 11, 2005.

 

As of June 30, 2005 14,006,311 Units ($140,063,110) were issued and outstanding.

 

As a limited liability company, the liability of any individual member for the obligations of the Fund is limited to the extent of capital contributions to the Fund by the individual member.

 

ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), an affiliated entity, acts as the Managing Member of the Company.

 

The Company, or AFS on behalf of the Company, will incur costs in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the Limited Liability Company Units (Units). The amount of such costs to be borne by the Company is limited by certain provisions of the Company’s Operating Agreement.

 

The Company’s principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio of equipment that will (i) preserve, protect and return the Company’s invested capital; (ii) generate regular distributions to the members of cash from operations and cash from sales or refinancing, with any balance remaining after certain minimum distributions to be used to purchase additional equipment during the Reinvestment Period, and (iii) provide additional distributions following the Reinvestment Period and until all equipment has been sold. The Company is governed by its Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (Operating Agreement).

 

The Company is in its acquisition phase and is making distributions on a monthly and quarterly basis.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Managing Member, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

8



 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Equipment on operating leases:

 

Equipment on operating leases is stated at cost. Depreciation is being provided by use of the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases to the equipment’s estimated residual values at the end of the leases.

 

Asset Valuation:

 

Recorded values of the Company’s asset portfolio are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the asset’s expected holding period and estimates of undiscounted future rents. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset is utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the market place are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by the discounted estimated future cash flows) of the assets and its carrying value on the measurement date.

 

Revenue recognition:

 

Operating leases

Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases. The initial lease terms will vary as to the type of equipment subject to the leases, the needs of the lessees and the terms to be negotiated, but initial leases are generally expected to be for 36 to 84 months. Income from step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvement funding provisions or other lease concessions in lease contracts, and lease rates subject to variation based on changes in market indexes or interest rates are recognized on a straight line basis.

 

Direct finance leases

Income from direct financing lease transactions is reported using the financing method of accounting, in which the Company’s investment in the leased property is reported as a receivable from the lessee to be recovered through future rentals. The income portion of each rental payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net receivable outstanding.

 

Notes receivable

Income from notes receivable is reported using the financing method of accounting. The Company’s investment in notes receivable is reported as the present value of the future note payments. The income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding.

The Company capitalizes initial direct costs associated with the acquisition of lease assets. These costs are amortized over a five year period, which approximates average lease term, using a straight line method.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the company amortized initial direct costs over sixty months on a straight line basis. Effective July 1, 2005, the company is changing its methodology to amortizing these costs over the lease term either as an adjustment to the yield for direct finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. In the opinion of the managing member the impact of the change in prior periods is immaterial.

 

Segment Reporting:

 

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and interim standards for operating segments of a company. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assts and reports revenue, and its major customers. The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly the Company operates in one reportable operating segment in the United States.

5. Related party transactions:

 

The terms of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement provide that AFS and/or affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment management and resale and for management of the Company.

 

The Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred by AFS in providing administrative services to the Company. Administrative services provided include Company accounting, investor relations, legal counsel and lease and equipment documentation. AFS is not reimbursed for services whereby it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such services, such as management of equipment. Reimbursable costs incurred by AFS are allocated to the Company based upon actual time incurred by employees working on Company business and an allocation of rent and other costs based on utilization studies.

 

Each of ATEL Leasing Corporation (“ALC”), ATEL Equipment Corporation (“AEC”), ATEL Investor Services (“AIS”) and ATEL Financial Services LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATEL Capital Group and performs services for the Company. Acquisition services are performed for the Company by ALC, equipment management, lease administration and asset disposition services are performed by AEC, investor relations and communications services are performed by AIS and general administrative services for the Company are performed by AFS.

 

Cost reimbursements to the Managing Member are based on costs incurred by AFS in performing administrative services for the Company that are allocated to each fund that AFS manages based on certain criteria such as existing or new leases, number of investors or equity depending on the type of cost incurred. AFS believes that the costs reimbursed are the lower of (i) actual costs incurred on behalf of the Company or (ii) the amount the Company would be required to pay independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.

 

During the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, AFS and/or affiliates earned fees, commissions and reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement as follows:

6. Members’ capital:

 

As of June 30, 2005, 14,006,311 Units were issued and outstanding. The Company is authorized to issue up to 15,000,050 Units, including the 50 Units issued to the Initial Members.

 

The Company’s Net Income, Net Losses, and Distributions, as defined in the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, are to be allocated 92.5% to the Other Members and 7.5% to AFS. Under the Operating Agreement, the Company may make special allocations as determined by the Managing Member.

8. Financing Arrangement:

 

The Company participates with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a financing arrangement (comprised of a term loan to AFS and a line of credit) with a group of financial institutions that includes certain financial covenants. The financial arrangement is $75,000,000 and expires in June 2006. The availability of borrowings to the Company under this financing arrangement is reduced by the amount AFS has outstanding as a term loan. As of June 30, 2005 borrowings under the facility were as follows:

 

Total amount available under the financing arrangement

 

$

75,000,000

 

Term loan to AFS as of June 30, 2005

 

(936,727

)

Total available under the acquisition and warehouse facilities

 

74,063,273

 

 

 

 

 

Amount borrowed by the Partnership under the acquisition facility

 

 

Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the acquisition facility

 

(10,500,000

)

Total remaining available under the acquisition and warehouse facilities

 

$

63,563,273

 

 

Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by that borrower’s assets, including equipment and related leases. Borrowings on the warehouse facility are recourse jointly to certain of the affiliated Memberships and limited liability companies, the Company and AFS.

 

The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants applicable to each borrower. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of June 30, 2005.

 

15



 

9. Guarantees:

 

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts of various types, including lease contracts, contracts for the sale or purchase of lease assets, management contracts, loan agreements, credit lines and other debt facilities. It is prevalent industry practice for most contracts of any significant value to include provisions that each of the contracting parties - in addition to assuming liability for breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants that are part of the underlying contractual obligations - also assume an obligation to indemnify and hold the other contracting party harmless for such breaches, for harm caused by such party’s gross negligence and willful misconduct, including, in certain instances, certain costs and expenses arising from the contract. The Managing Member has substantial experience in managing similar leasing programs subject to similar contractual commitments in similar transactions, and the losses and claims arising from these commitments have been insignificant, if any. Generally, to the extent these contracts are performed in the ordinary course of business under the reasonable business judgment of the Managing Member, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The Managing Member has no reason to believe that the facts and circumstances relating to the Company’s contractual commitments differ from those it has entered into on behalf of the prior programs it has managed. The Managing Member knows of no facts or circumstances that would make the Company’s contractual commitments outside standard mutual covenants applicable to commercial transactions between businesses. Accordingly, the Company believes that these indemnification obligations are made in the ordinary course of business as part of standard commercial and industry practice, and that any potential liability under the Company’s similar commitments is remote. Should any such indemnification obligation become payable, the Company would separately record and/or disclose such liability in accordance with GAAP.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Statements contained in this Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially form those projected. In particular, economic recession and changes in general economic conditions, including, fluctuations in demand for equipment, lease rates, and interest rates, may result in delays in investment and reinvestment, delays in leasing, re-leasing, and disposition of equipment, and reduced returns on invested capital. The Company’s performance is subject to risks relating to lessee defaults and the creditworthiness of its lessees. The Fund’s performance is also subject to risks relating to the value of its equipment at the end of its leases, which may be affected by the condition of the equipment, technological obsolescence and the markets for new and used equipment at the end of lease terms. Investors are cautioned not to attribute undue certainty to these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

The Company commenced its offering of Units on March 12, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the Company commenced operations in its primary business (leasing activities). Until the Company’s initial portfolio of equipment has been purchased, funds that have been received, but that have not yet been invested in leased

 

16



 

equipment, are invested in interest-bearing accounts or high-quality/short-term commercial paper. The Company’s public offering provides for a total maximum capitalization of $150,000,000.

 

During the funding period, the Company’s primary source of liquidity will be subscription proceeds from the public offering of Units. The liquidity of the Company will vary in the future, increasing to the extent proceeds from the offering, cash flows from leases and proceeds of asset sales exceed expenses, and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the Members and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and proceeds from asset sales.

 

The Company’s offer terminated on March 11, 2005. As of June 30, 2005, 14,006,311 Units ($140,063,110) were issued and outstanding. Significant cash balances remain from the public offering of Units. This cash is available to fund leasing transactions in future periods.

 

As another source of liquidity, the Company entered into and is expected to continue entering into contractual obligations with a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As the initial lease terms expire, the Company will re-lease or sell the equipment. The future liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will depend on AFS’s success in re-leasing or selling the equipment as it comes off lease.

 

Throughout the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement), the Company anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and interest), the payment of management fees to AFS and providing for cash distributions to the Members.

 

The Company participates with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a financing arrangement (comprised of a term loan to AFS and a line of credit) with a group of financial institutions that includes certain financial covenants. The financial arrangement is $75,000,000 and expires in June 2006. The availability of borrowings to the Company under this financing arrangement is reduced by the amount AFS has outstanding as a term loan. As of June 30, 2005 borrowings under the facility were as follows:

 

Total amount available under the financing arrangement

 

$

75,000,000

 

Term loan to AFS as of June 30, 2005

 

(936,727

)

Total available under the acquisition and warehouse facilities

 

74,063,273

 

 

 

 

 

Amount borrowed by the Partnership under the acquisition facility

 

 

Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the acquisition facility

 

(10,500,000

)

Total remaining available under the acquisition and warehouse facilities

 

$

63,563,273

 

 

Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by that borrower’s assets, including equipment and related leases. Borrowings on the warehouse facility are recourse jointly to certain of the affiliated Memberships and limited liability companies, the Company and AFS.

 

To manage the warehousing line of credit for the holding of assets prior to allocation to specific investor programs, a Warehousing Trust Agreement has been entered into by the Company, ATEL Financial Services LLC (“AFS”), ATEL Leasing Corporation (“ALC”), and certain of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies. The warehousing line is used to acquire and hold, on a short-term basis, certain lease transactions that meet the investment objectives of each of such entities. Each of the leasing programs sponsored by AFS and ALC currently in its acquisition stage is a pro rata participant in the Warehousing Trust Agreement, as described below. When a program no longer has a need for short term financing provided by the warehousing facility, it is removed from participation, and as new leasing investment entities are formed by AFS and ALC and commence their acquisition stages, these new entities will be added. As of June 30, 2005, the investment program participants were ATEL Cash Distribution Fund VI, L.P., ATEL Capital Equipment Fund VII, L.P., ATEL Capital Equipment Fund VIII, LLC, ATEL Capital Equipment Fund

 

17



 

IX, LLC, and ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC. Pursuant to the Warehousing Trust Agreement, the benefit of the lease transaction assets, and the corresponding liabilities under the warehouse borrowing facility, inure to each of such entities based upon each entity’s pro-rata share in the warehousing trust estate. The “pro-rata share” is calculated as a ratio of the net worth of each entity over the aggregate net worth of all entities benefiting from the warehouse trust estate, excepting that the trustees, AFS and ALC, are both liable for their pro-rata shares of the obligations based on their respective net worths, and jointly liable for the pro rata portion of the obligations of each of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies participating under the borrowing facility. Transactions are financed through this warehousing line only until the transactions are allocated to a specific program for purchase or are otherwise disposed by AFS and ALC. When a determination is made to allocate the transaction to a specific program for purchase by the program, the purchaser repays the debt associated with the asset, either with cash or by means of the acquisition facility financing, the asset is removed from the warehouse line collateral, and ownership of the asset and any debt obligation associated with the asset are assumed solely by the purchasing entity.

 

The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants applicable to each borrower. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of June 30, 2005.

 

The Company anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to AFS and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Members.

 

AFS or an affiliate may purchase equipment in its own name, the name of an affiliate or the name of a nominee, a trust or otherwise and hold title thereto on a temporary or interim basis for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such equipment or the completion of manufacture of the equipment or for any other purpose related to the business of the Company, provided, however that: (i) the transaction is in the best interest of the Company; (ii) such equipment is purchased by the Company for a purchase price no greater than the cost of such equipment to AFS or affiliate (including any out-of-pocket carrying costs), except for compensation permitted by the Operating Agreement; (iii) there is no difference in interest terms of the loans secured by the equipment at the time acquired by AFS or affiliate and the time acquired by the Company; (iv) there is no benefit arising out of such transaction to AFS or its affiliate apart from the compensation otherwise permitted by the Operating Agreement; and (v) all income generated by, and all expenses associated with, equipment so acquired will be treated as belonging to the Company.

 

AFS expects that aggregate borrowings in the future will be approximately 50% of aggregate equipment cost. In any event, the Operating Agreement limits such borrowings to 50% of the total cost of equipment, in aggregate.

 

If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the Company inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the Company’s leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the Company’s revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation.

 

If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Company can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates. For detailed information on the Company’s debt obligations, see Note 8 in the notes to the financial statements in Item 1.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase lease equipment of approximately $26,054,234 which will be funded during the year ended December 31, 2005. This amount represents contract awards which may be cancelled by the prospective lessee or may not be accepted by the Company.

Cash Flows

 

The Company’s offer terminated on March 11, 2005. The offering was the primary source of liquidity for the six months periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. No proceeds were received after the termination of the offering on March 11, 2005. The follow table summarizes the amount of proceeds received during the six and three months period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

In the first six months of 2005 and 2004, the primary source of cash from operations was rents from operating leases. In the first six months, cash from operations increased to $3,925,167 from $1,882,245. In the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, cash from operations increased to $1,812,574 from $1,448,916. The increase was driven primarily by the purchase and lease of new equipment to lessees under operating lease agreements. Operating leases are expected to remain as the primary source of cash from operations in future periods.

 

During the first half of 2005 and 2004 and second quarter of 2005 and 2004, the majority of cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of operating lease assets, advances on notes receivable and payment of initial direct costs to the Managing Member.

 

Purchases of operating lease assets increased to $20,031,042 in the first of half of 2005 from $7,083,267 in the first half of 2004. Purchases of operating lease assets increased to $10,896,984 in the second quarter of 2005 from $4,875,904 in the second quarter of 2004. Advances on notes receivable decreased to $813,957 in the first half of 2005 compared to $3,406,496 in the first half of 2004. Advances on notes receivable decreased to $220,468 for the second quarter of 2005 from $3,406,496 for the second quarter of 2004.

 

Other uses of cash for investing activities consisted of payments of initial direct costs associated with lease asset purchases. Payments of initial direct cost were $1,012,800 and $654,686 for the first half of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Payments of initial direct cost were $533,964 and $171,999 for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Initial direct costs are directly related to fundings and will increase or decrease based on fundings for the period.

 

Below is a table that summarizes utilization percentages for assets acquired during the years ended December 31, 2004 and the six month period ended June 30, 2005:

It is the Company’s objective to maintain a 100% utilization rate for all equipment. As discussed above, the Company remains in an acquisition stage and is continuing to acquire equipment. All equipment transactions are acquired subject to binding lease commitments, so equipment utilization is expected to remain high throughout this acquisition and reinvestment stage, which ends six years after the end of the Company’s public offering of Units. Initial lease terms will generally be from 36 to 84 months, and as these initial leases terminate, the Company will attempt to re-lease or sell the equipment. Utilization rates may therefore decrease during the liquidation stage of the Company, which will follow its acquisition and reinvestment stages.

 

Sources of cash from investing activities consisted of rents from direct financing leases, proceeds from the sales of assets and from payments due on advance notes receivables. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, rents from direct financing leases increased to $341,627 from $130,151, respectively. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, rent, from direct financing leases Payment due on notes receivable

advances increased to $808,610 from $43,724 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company received $383,198 from the sales of assets. The Company sold no assets during the comparable period in 2004.

 

As noted earlier, proceeds of our public offering of Units was our main source of financing activity for the first six months of 2005 and 2004. The Company received $23,134,880 and $33,870,300 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Financing uses of cash included distributions to Members and payment for costs related to the offering. In the first six months of 2005 and 2004, distributions were made to the Members in the amount of $5,454,231 and $2,311,729, respectively. Distributions were made to the Members in the amount of $2,931,441 and $1,338,427 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Payments for syndication costs related to the offering were $2,760,483 and $4,403,214 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Payments for syndication costs related to the offering were $223,527 and $2,274,043 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of April 9, 2003, subscriptions for the minimum amount of the offering ($1,200,000) had been received and accepted by the Company. As of that date, the Company commenced operations in its primary business (leasing activities). Portfolio acquisitions are still ongoing as of June 30, 2005. As such, the results of operations for the six month and three periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 will not be comparable between quarters or to future periods. After the Company’s public offering and its initial asset acquisition stage terminate, the results of operations are expected to change significantly.

 

For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, operations resulted in net income of $780,200 compared to a net loss of $81,132 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. In the first half and first quarter of 2005 and 2004, the primary source of revenues was from operating leases. In the first half of 2005, operating lease rents increased to $4,167,971 from $1,551,070 in the first half of 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, operating lease rents increased to $2,333,048 from $898,455 in the second quarter of 2004. We expect that operating leases will continue to be the primary source of revenues and that the amounts earned will increase as we continue to acquire additional lease assets.

 

Depreciation expense is directly related to the operating lease assets. Depreciation expense increased to $3,258,702 in the first half of 2005 from $1,389,334 from the first half of 2004. Depreciation expense increased to $1,849,068 in the second quarter of 2005 from $802,481 in the second quarter of 2004. We expect that depreciation expense will increase in future periods in relation to operating lease revenues as we continue to acquire more assets.

 

Under the terms of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, AFS is entitled to certain fees and reimbursements of costs. Asset management fees in the first half of 2005 and 2004 were $224,289 and $73,414, respectively. Cost reimbursements over the same period were $350,668 and $114,362, respectively. Asset management fees in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 were $129,074 and $43,987, respectively. Costs reimbursements over the same period were $189,935 and $62,832, respectively. These amounts are expected to increase in future periods as the operations of the Company expand.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the company amortized initial direct costs over sixty months on a straight line basis. Effective July 1, 2005, the company is changing its methodology to amortizing these costs over the lease term either as an adjustment to the yield for direct finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. In the opinion of the managing member the impact of the change in prior periods in immaterial.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The Company, like most other companies, is exposed to certain market risks, including primarily changes in interest rates. The Company believes its exposure to other market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity risk and equity price risk, are insignificant to both its financial position and results of operations. In general, the Company expects to manage its exposure to interest rate risk by obtaining fixed rate debt. The fixed rate debt is structured so as to match the cash flows required to service the debt to the payment streams under fixed rate lease receivables. The payments under the leases are assigned to the lenders in satisfaction of the debt. Furthermore, AFS has historically been able to maintain a stable spread between its cost of funds and lease yields in both periods of rising and falling interest rates. Nevertheless, the Company expects to frequently fund leases with its floating interest rate line of credit and will, therefore, be exposed to interest rate risk until fixed rate financing is arranged, or the

 

20



 

floating interest rate line of credit is repaid. As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, there were no outstanding balances on the floating interest rate line of credit.

 

Item 4. Controls and procedures.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management (ATEL Financial Services, LLC as Managing Member of the registrant, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures [as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934] was performed as of June 30, 2005. Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing, and timely reporting information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the chief executive and chief financial officer of the Managing Member had identified certain enhanced controls needed to facilitate a more effective closing of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the Company’s auditors advised management of a material weakness surrounding the financial statement closing process that they believe arose because ATEL’s accounting resources were not adequate to complete the closing of the books and preparation of financial statements in a timely manner. However, it should be noted that the financial statements for that period were nevertheless issued with an unqualified opinion. Since the beginning of 2004, ATEL hired a new corporate controller, added two assistant controllers and additional accounting staff personnel, and has instituted new procedures or revised existing procedures to ensure that the Company’s ability to execute internal controls in accounting and reconciliation in the closing process is adequate in all respects. In connection with management’s review of the effectiveness of internal disclosure controls and procedures of the Company as of June 30, 2005, including communication with its auditors regarding the audit process, ATEL management has determined that it has successfully taken all steps necessary to resolve any outstanding issues with respect to its annual financial statement closing process and that its accounting resources are adequate to perform this process in a timely and accurate manner. In connection with their audit of the Company and related programs for the year ended December 31, 2004, the independent accountants issued a no material weakness letter which indicates that no matters were noted involving internal control and its operation that the auditor considered to be material weaknesses as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Furthermore, all financial statements for the Company and related programs for 2004 were issued with unqualified opinions of the independent accountants. The Managing Member will continue to review its accounting procedures and practices to determine their effectiveness and adequacy and will take any steps deemed necessary in the opinion of the Managing Member’s chief executive and chief financial officers to ensure the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure and accounting controls and procedures.

 

The Managing Member’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have determined that no weakness in financial and accounting controls and procedures had any material effect on the accuracy and completeness of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure included in this report.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation date nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, except as described in the prior paragraphs.
