Guarantees [Abstract]

Guarantees

10.  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.

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.

Notes Receivable, Net [Abstract]

Notes Receivable, Net

3.  Notes receivable, net:

The Company has various notes receivable from borrowers who have financed the purchase of equipment through the Company. At September 30, 2013, the original terms of the notes receivable are from 17 to 120 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 8.42% to 11.58%. The notes are secured by the equipment financed, and mature from 2013 through 2016.  

The Company had no notes in non-accrual status at bothSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did, however, have a note receivable that was deemed impaired. Such impaired note remained outstanding as of September 30, 2013.

The impaired note at December 31, 2012 was placed in non-accrual status in 2010, at which time its term was modified to defer the repayment of principal until April 2012 while maintaining interest-only payments at the original rate of 11.58%.  During 2011, the note was deemed impaired relative to its original payment terms. From April 1, 2012 well into the third quarter of 2012, the interest only payment arrangement was continued pending final resolution of the terms of repayment. Prior to the end of the third quarter of 2012, a large dollar amount was received to significantly reduce the then outstanding principal balance by September 30, 2012. During the periods when interest only was being paid, all such payments were made in accordance with the then applicable note modification agreements. The note was returned to accrual status effective October 1, 2012. As ofSeptember 30, 2013,  $10 thousand of the aforementioned note remains outstanding.  As of the same date, the estimated fair value of the impaired note is $0, reflecting previous valuation adjustments of $10 thousand.

The minimum future payments receivable as of September 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

Three months ending December 31, 2013	$	83

Organization And Limited Liability Company Matters [Abstract]

Organization and Limited Liability Company Matters

1.  Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was formed under the laws of the State of California on June 25, 2004. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities. Also, from time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements. The Managing Member or Manager of the Company is ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), a California limited liability company. The Company may continue until December 31, 2025. Each Member’s personal liability for obligations of the Company generally will be limited to the amount of their respective contributions and rights to undistributed profits and assets of the Company.

The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (“Units”), at a price of $10 per Unit. On May 31, 2005, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units (120,000, representing $1.2 million) had been received and AFS requested that the subscriptions be released to the Company. On that date, the Company commenced operations in its primary business (acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities). As of July 13, 2005, the Company had received subscriptions for 958,274 Units ($9.6 million), thus exceeding the $7.5 million minimum requirement for Pennsylvania, and AFS requested that the remaining funds in escrow (from Pennsylvania investors) be released to the Company. The Company terminated sales of Units effective April 30, 2006. Life-to-date net contributions through September 30, 2013 totaled $52.2 million, consisting of approximately $52.8 million in gross contributions from Other Members purchasing Units under the public offering less rescissions and repurchases (net of distributions paid and allocated syndication costs, as applicable) of $636 thousand. As of September 30, 2013,  5,209,307 Units were issued and outstanding.  

The Company’s principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio of equipment that (i) preserves, protects and returns the Company’s invested capital; (ii) generates 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 (“Reinvestment Period”) (defined as six full years following the year the offering was terminated), which ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) provides 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”), as amended. On January 1, 2013, the Company commenced liquidation phase activities pursuant to the guidelines of the Operating Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, AFS receives compensation for services rendered and reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of the Company (See Note 6). The Company is required to maintain reasonable cash reserves for working capital, the repurchase of Units and contingencies. The repurchase of Units is solely at the discretion of AFS.

The Company’s 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, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under operating and direct financing lease contracts, and notes receivable which are currently due to the Company.

Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based upon their aging and historical charge off and collection experience and the creditworthiness of specifically identified lessees and borrowers, and invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are generally charged off against the allowance on a specific identification basis. Recoveries of amounts that were previously written-off are recorded as other income in the period received. Accounts receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status (i.e., no revenue is recognized) when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with lease or note payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, such leases or notes may be placed in non-accrual status. Leases or notes placed on non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and management believes recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. Until such time, revenues on operating leases are recognized on a cash basis. All payments received on amounts billed under direct financing leases and notes receivable are applied only against outstanding principal balances.

Financing receivables

In addition to the allowance established for delinquent accounts receivable, the total allowance related solely to financing receivables also includes anticipated impairment charges on notes receivable and direct financing leases.

Notes are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest when due. If it is determined that a loan is impaired with regard to scheduled payments, the Company will perform an analysis of the note to determine if an impairment valuation reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the note, or the collateral value of the property underlying the note when note repayment is collateral dependent. Any required valuation reserve is charged to earnings when determined; and notes are charged off to the allowance as they are deemed uncollectible.

The asset underlying a direct financing lease contract is considered impaired if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than its 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 marketplace are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly.

4.  Allowance for credit losses (continued):

Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by a valuation method using discounted estimated future cash flows, third party appraisals or comparable sales of similar assets as applicable based on asset type) of the asset and its carrying value on the measurement date.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s allowance for credit losses (related solely to financing receivables) and its recorded investment in financing receivables were as follows (in thousands):

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its financing receivables on a scale equivalent to the following quality indicators related to corporate risk profiles:

Pass – Any account whose lessee/debtor, co-lessee/debtor or any guarantor has a credit rating on publicly traded or privately placed debt issues as rated by Moody’s or S&P for either Senior Unsecured debt, Long Term Issuer rating or Issuer rating that are in the tiers of ratings generally recognized by the investment community as constituting an Investment Grade credit rating; or, has been determined by the Manager to be an Investment Grade Equivalent or High Quality Corporate Credit per its Credit Policy or has a Not Rated internal rating by the Manager and the account is not considered by the Chief Credit Officer of the Manager to fall into one of the three risk profiles below.

4.  Allowance for credit losses (continued):

Special Mention – Any traditional corporate type account with potential weaknesses (e.g. large net losses or major industry downturns) or, any growth capital account that has less than three months of cash as of the end of the calendar quarter to fund their continuing operations. These accounts deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the Fund’s receivable at some future date.

Substandard – Any account that is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Accounts that are so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Fund will sustain some loss as the likelihood of fully collecting all receivables may be questionable if the deficiencies are not corrected. Such accounts are on the Manager’s Credit Watch List.

Doubtful – Any account where the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Accordingly, an account that is so classified is on the Manager’s Credit Watch List, and has been declared in default and the Manager has repossessed, or is attempting to repossess, the equipment it financed. This category includes impaired notes and leases as applicable.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s financing receivables by credit quality indicator and by class of financing receivables are as follows (excludes initial direct costs) (in thousands):

		Notes Receivable				Finance Leases

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

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 the instructions to Form 10-Q as mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no significant effect on the reported financial position or results of operations.

Footnote and tabular amounts are presented in thousands, except as to Units and per Unit data.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Managing Member has reviewed events that have occurred after September 30, 2013 up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements, or adjustments thereto.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates primarily relate to the determination of residual values at the end of the lease term and expected future cash flows used for impairment analysis purposes and for determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for credit losses on notes receivable.

Segment reporting:

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.

The primary geographic regions in which the Company seeks leasing opportunities are North America and Europe. The table below summarizes geographic information relating to the sources, by nation, of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and long-lived assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

		For The Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2013	% of Total		2012	% of Total
Revenue
United States	$	3,518	98%	$	4,762	96%
United Kingdom		88	2%		211	4%
Total International		88	2%		211	4%
Total	$	3,606	100%	$	4,973	100%
		As of September 30,			As of December 31,
		2013	% of Total		2012	% of Total
Long-lived assets
United States	$	8,585	100%	$	11,090	99%
United Kingdom		6	0%		155	1%
Total International		6	0%		155	1%
Total	$	8,591	100%	$	11,245	100%

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Investment in securities:

From time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements.

Purchased securities

Purchased securities are generally not registered for public sale and are carried at cost. Such securities are adjusted to fair value if the fair value is less than the carrying value and such impairment is deemed by the Managing Member to be other than temporary. Factors considered by the Managing Member in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, available financial information, the issuer’s ability to meet its current obligations and indications of the issuer’s subsequent ability to raise capital. Based upon the Company’s review of its portfolio, no fair value adjustment was deemed necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. By comparison, $32 thousand of fair value adjustments relative to impaired investments were recorded during the first nine months of 2012, all of which were recorded during the first quarter.

Warrants

Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are carried on the balance sheet at an estimated fair value, as determined by the Managing Member. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. Likewise, gains and/or losses recognized on the net exercise of certain warrants were nominal for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  During the first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded$59 thousand of unrealized gains  relative to the conversion of warrants associated with shares of certain venture companies.  There were no unrealized gains recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, or the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Foreign currency transactions:

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported in the results of operations as “other income” or “other loss” in the period in which they occur. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments as the foreign currency transactions risks to date have not been significant. The Company’s foreign currency translations gains and losses were nominal during the three months ended September 30, 2013. By comparison, the Company recorded net foreign currency losses of $22 thousand during the prior year period. Such net foreign currency losses totaled $1 thousand and $21 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Per Unit data:

Net income and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members’ Units outstanding during the period.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

Recent accounting standards updates as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) were evaluated and determined to be not applicable to the Company.

Non-Recourse Debt

Non-Recourse Debt [Abstract]

Non-Recourse Debt

7.  Non-recourse debt:

At September 30, 2013, non-recourse debt consists of notes payable to financial institutions. The notes are due in monthly installments. Interest on the notes is at fixed rates ranging from 4.40% to 5.95%. The notes are secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At September 30, 2013,gross lease rentals totaled approximately $2.5 million over the remaining lease terms; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is approximately $5.2million. The notes mature from 2014 through 2015.

The non-recourse debt does not contain any material financial covenants. The debt is secured by liens granted by the Company to the non-recourse lenders on (and only on) the discounted lease transactions. The lenders have recourse only to the following collateral: the specific leased equipment; the related lease chattel paper; the lease receivables; and proceeds of the foregoing items. The non-recourse obligation is payable solely out of the respective specific security and the Company does not guarantee (nor is the Company otherwise contractually responsible for) the payment of the non-recourse debt as a general obligation or liability of the Company. Although the Company does not have any direct or general liability in connection with the non-recourse debt apart from the security granted, the Company is directly and generally liable and responsible for certain representations, warranties, and covenants made to the lenders, such as warranties as to genuineness of the transaction parties' signatures, as to the genuineness of the respective lease chattel paper or the transaction as a whole, or as to the Company's good title to or perfected interest in the secured collateral, as well as similar representations, warranties and covenants typically provided by non-recourse borrowers and customary in the equipment finance industry, and are viewed by such industry as being consistent with non-recourse discount financing obligations. Accordingly, as there are no financial covenants or ratios imposed on the Company in connection with the non-recourse debt, the Company has determined that there are no material covenants with respect to the non-recourse debt that warrant footnote disclosure.

Future minimum payments of non-recourse debt are as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

12. Fair value measurements:

Fair value measurements and disclosures are based on a fair value hierarchy as determined by significant inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, generally on a national exchange.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is modeled using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company had no assets or liabilities requiring measurement at fair value on a recurring basis as ofSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012; however, the Company recorded non-recurring adjustments to reflect the fair values of certain impaired lease and off-lease equipment during the first nine months of 2013, and those of certain impaired lease and off-lease equipment, notes receivable and investment securities during 2012. Balances shown at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflect the fair value of the then existing impaired assets.

The Company’s valuation policy is determined by members of the Asset Management, Credit and Accounting departments. Whenever possible, the policy is to obtain quoted market prices in active markets to estimate fair values for recognition and disclosure purposes. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, broker quotes, information from third party remarketing agents, third party appraisals of collateral and/or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by certain of the Company’s assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Potential taxes and other transaction costs are not considered in estimating fair values. As the Company is responsible for determining fair value, an analysis is performed on prices obtained from third parties. Such analysis is performed by asset management and credit department personnel who are familiar with the Company’s investments in equipment, notes receivable and equity securities of venture companies. The analysis may include a periodic review of price fluctuations and validation of numbers obtained from a specific third party by reference to multiple representative sources.

Such fair value adjustments utilized the following methodology:

Impaired operating lease and off-lease equipment

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $39 thousand to reduce the cost basis of certain impaired lease and off-lease equipment. Such amount is in addition to the$13 thousand of fair value adjustments recorded during the first six months of 2013. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of impaired lease assets are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy as the data sources utilized for the valuation of such assets reflect significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. Such valuation utilizes a market approach technique and uses inputs that reflect the sales price of similar assets sold by affiliates and/or information from third party remarketing agents not readily available in the market.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, fair value adjustments relative to impaired lease and off-lease equipment amounted to $221 thousand and $255 thousand, respectively. The fair values of the impaired equipment were classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An additional $174 thousand of fair value adjustments were recorded through December 31, 2012.

Impaired notes receivable

The fair value of the Company’s notes receivable, when impairment adjustments are required, is estimated using either third party appraisals or estimations of the value of collateral (for collateral dependent loans) or discounted cash flow analyses (by discounting estimated future cash flows) using the effective interest rate contained in the terms of the original loan. The Company had no fair value adjustments relative to impaired notes receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

12. Fair value measurements (continued):

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $8 thousand adjustment to reflect the fair value of a note deemed impaired in 2011. Such amount also represents the total fair value adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The incremental adjustment was based upon an independent appraisal of the underlying collateral. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of the impaired notes receivable was classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Such valuation utilized a market approach technique and used inputs from third party appraisers that utilize current market transactions as adjusted for certain factors specific to the underlying collateral. There was no additional fair value adjustment through December 31, 2012. 

Impaired investment securities

The Company’s investment securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at cost. The investment securities are adjusted for impairment, if any, based upon factors which include, but are not limited to, available financial information, the issuer’s ability to meet its current obligations and indications of the issuer’s subsequent ability to raise capital. The Company had no fair value adjustments to investment securities during first nine months of 2013.

During 2012, the Company recorded $40 thousand of non-recurring fair value adjustments which reduced the cost basis of two investment securities. Of the total adjustment, $32 thousand was recorded during the first quarter of 2012 and was based on an approximate 66% reduction in the valuation of one of the securities. Such reduction considered the investee’s current liquidity, rate of cash burn and potential for additional capital infusion. The remaining $8 thousand, which was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012, represents an additional adjustment to an investment which was originally deemed impaired in March 2011.Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair values of the impaired investment securities were classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the significant inputs that are unobservable in the market.

The following table presents the fair value measurement of impaired assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

		September 30, 2013		Level 1 Estimated Fair Value		Level 2 Estimated Fair Value		Level 3 Estimated Fair Value
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Impaired lease and off-lease equipment	$	19	$	-	$	-	$	19
		December 31, 2012		Level 1 Estimated Fair Value		Level 2 Estimated Fair Value		Level 3 Estimated Fair Value
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Impaired lease and off-lease equipment	$	405	$	-	$	-	$	405
Impaired investment securities		24		-		-		24

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s non-recurring fair value adjustments categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2013:

Name	Valuation Frequency	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Input Values
Lease Equipment	Non-recurring	Market Approach	Third Party Agents' Pricing Quotes - per equipment	$600 (total of $18,600)
			Equipment Condition	Poor to Average

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the guidance provided by the Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions, set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments, are made solely to comply with the requirements of the Financial Instruments Topic and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes.

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts by using market information and valuation methodologies that it considers appropriate and consistent with the fair value accounting guidance. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and cash equivalents

The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because of the liquidity and short-term maturity of these instruments.

12. Fair value measurements (continued):

Notes receivable

The fair value of the Company’s notes receivable is estimated using either third party appraisals of collateral or discounted cash flow analyses based upon current market rates for similar types of lending arrangements, with credit risk or estimated collateral liquidation adjustments for impaired loans as deemed necessary.

Investment in securities

The Company’s investment securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at cost which management believes approximates fair value, as appropriately adjusted for impairment.

Non-recourse debt

The fair value of the Company’s non-recourse debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon the current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Commitments and Contingencies

Management has determined that no recognition for the fair value of the Company’s loan commitments is necessary because their terms are made on a market rate basis and require borrowers to be in compliance with the Company’s credit requirements at the time of funding.

The fair value of contingent liabilities (or guarantees) is not considered material because management believes there has been no event that has occurred wherein a guarantee liability has been incurred or will likely be incurred.

The following tables present a summary of the carrying value and fair value by level of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 the instructions to Form 10-Q as mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no significant effect on the reported financial position or results of operations.

Footnote and tabular amounts are presented in thousands, except as to Units and per Unit data.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Managing Member has reviewed events that have occurred after September 30, 2013 up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements, or adjustments thereto.

Use of Estimates

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates primarily relate to the determination of residual values at the end of the lease term and expected future cash flows used for impairment analysis purposes and for determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for credit losses on notes receivable.

Segment Reporting

Segment reporting:

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.

The primary geographic regions in which the Company seeks leasing opportunities are North America and Europe. The table below summarizes geographic information relating to the sources, by nation, of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and long-lived assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

		For The Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total	$	8,591	100%	$	11,245	100%

Investment in Securities

Investment in securities:

From time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements.

Purchased securities

Purchased securities are generally not registered for public sale and are carried at cost. Such securities are adjusted to fair value if the fair value is less than the carrying value and such impairment is deemed by the Managing Member to be other than temporary. Factors considered by the Managing Member in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, available financial information, the issuer’s ability to meet its current obligations and indications of the issuer’s subsequent ability to raise capital. Based upon the Company’s review of its portfolio, no fair value adjustment was deemed necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. By comparison, $32 thousand of fair value adjustments relative to impaired investments were recorded during the first nine months of 2012, all of which were recorded during the first quarter.

Warrants

Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are carried on the balance sheet at an estimated fair value, as determined by the Managing Member. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. Likewise, gains and/or losses recognized on the net exercise of certain warrants were nominal for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  During the first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded$59 thousand of unrealized gains  relative to the conversion of warrants associated with shares of certain venture companies.  There were no unrealized gains recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, or the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions:

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported in the results of operations as “other income” or “other loss” in the period in which they occur. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments as the foreign currency transactions risks to date have not been significant. The Company’s foreign currency translations gains and losses were nominal during the three months ended September 30, 2013. By comparison, the Company recorded net foreign currency losses of $22 thousand during the prior year period. Such net foreign currency losses totaled $1 thousand and $21 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Per Unit Data

Per Unit data:

Net income and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members’ Units outstanding during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements:

Recent accounting standards updates as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) were evaluated and determined to be not applicable to the Company.
