ATEL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND XI, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC (the “Company”) 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 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. Net contributions of $52.2 million were received through June 30, 2009, consisting of approximately $52.8 million in gross contributions from Other Members purchasing Units under the public offering less rescissions and repurchases of $632 thousand. As of June 30, 2009, 5,210,507 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 ends 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.

The Company, or AFS on behalf of the Company, has incurred costs in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the Limited Liability Company Units (Note 5). The amount of such costs to be borne by the Company is limited by certain provisions of the Company’s Operating Agreement. The Company will pay AFS and affiliates of AFS substantial fees which may result in a conflict of interest. The Company will pay substantial fees to AFS and its affiliates before distributions are paid to investors even if the Company does not produce profits. Therefore, the financial position of the Company could change significantly.

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, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 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 affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2009. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on equity or net income.

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

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 reports segment information in accordance with 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 assets 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and long-lived assets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

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. Management has concluded that there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the instruments. Accordingly, such investment is stated at cost. At March 31, 2009, the Company deemed an investment security to be impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $50 thousand which reduced the cost basis of the investment. Such fair value adjustment is non-recurring. Under SFAS 157, the investment security is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company had no Level 3 assets prior to the aforementioned impaired security. The impaired investment security was disposed of during the second quarter of 2009. There were no additional impaired securities at June 30, 2009.

Warrants

Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are carried at an estimated fair value on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, as determined by the Managing Member. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount.

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 recognized net foreign currency losses of $43 thousand and $12 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized net foreign currency losses of $67 thousand and net foreign currency gains of $53 thousand, respectively.

Per Unit data:

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

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. The Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement is not intended to change existing GAAP and as such will not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted SFAS 165 for its second quarter 2009 interim reporting period. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 12.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which provides guidance on determining fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and has been adopted by the Company for its second quarter 2009 interim reporting period. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“the FSP”). The FSP requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments whenever summarized financial information for interim reporting periods is presented. Entities shall disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and shall describe changes in methods and significant assumptions, if any, during the period. The FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the FSP for its second quarter 2009 interim reporting period without significant effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”), as an amendment to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses will need to be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will impact the Company only if it elects to enter into a business combination subsequent to December 31, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 were to be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 as it pertains to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 except as it applies to its investment in equipment and leases, and other nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP No. 157-2. The deferred provisions of SFAS 157 were implemented effective January 1, 2009 without significant effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. Investment in equipment leases, net (continued):

 

The average estimated residual value for assets on operating leases was 25% and 22% of the assets’ original cost at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

On April 30, 2009, a major lessee, Chrysler Corporation filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11. Under a pre-package agreement, a new company was formed to purchase the assets of Chrysler – its plants, brands, land, equipment, as well as its contracts with the union, dealers and suppliers – from the bankruptcy court. Under this agreement, the Company had its leases with Chrysler affirmed. While a new Chrysler has emerged from bankruptcy and is combining operations with Fiat, payments on the Company’s affirmed leases have become delinquent subsequent to April 30, 2009. The Company, in accordance with its accounting policy for delinquent operating leases has reversed the billed but not yet paid amounts, and placed these respective operating leases on a non-accrual and cash basis pending resumption of recurring payment activity. The Company also considered the equipment underlying the lease contracts for impairment and believes that such equipment is not impaired as of June 30, 2009.

Direct financing leases:

As of June 30, 2009, investment in direct financing leases consists of materials handling equipment. The following lists the components of the Company’s investment in direct financing leases as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

5. Related party transactions:

 

The terms of the 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 Operating Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred by AFS in providing administrative services to the Company. Administrative services provided include Company accounting, finance/treasury, 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 estimated 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”) and AFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATEL Capital Group and performs services for the Company. Acquisition services, equipment management, lease administration and asset disposition services are performed by ALC; and investor relations, communications and general administrative services are performed by AFS.

Cost reimbursements to the Managing Member are based on its costs incurred in performing administrative services for the Company. These costs are allocated to each managed entity based on certain criteria such as total assets, number of investors or contributed capital based upon the type of cost incurred.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, AFS and/or affiliates earned fees, commissions and reimbursements, pursuant to the Operating Agreement as follows (in thousands):

6. Non-recourse Debt:

At June 30, 2009, non-recourse debt consists of notes payable to financial institutions. The notes are due in varying quarterly and semi-annual installments. Interest on the notes is at fixed rates ranging from 4.33% to 6.65%. The notes are secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At June 30, 2009, gross lease rentals totaled approximately $12.2 million over the remaining lease terms; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is approximately $20.6 million. The notes mature from 2009 through 2015.

The non-recourse note payable does not contain any material financial covenant. The note is secured by a lien granted by the Company to the non-recourse lender on (and only on) the discounted lease transaction. The lender has 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 this specific security and the Company does not guarantee (nor is the Company otherwise contractually responsible for) the payment of non-recourse note as a general obligation or liability of the Company. Although the Company does not have any direct general liability in connection with the non-recourse note apart from the security granted, the Company is directly and generally liable and responsible for certain representations, warranties, and covenants made to the lender, such as warranties as to genuineness of the transaction parties' signatures, as to the genuineness of the 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 a non-recourse discount financing obligation. Accordingly, as there are no

7. Borrowing facilities:

The Company participates with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a working capital facility to AFS, an acquisition facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) and a warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) to AFS, the Company and affiliates, and a venture facility available to an affiliate with a syndicate of financial institutions which Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility is for an amount up to $75 million. Originally scheduled to expire in June 2009, the Credit Facility was amended effective December 22, 2008 to extend the term of the agreement through June 2010.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, borrowings under the facility were as follows (in thousands):

 

     June 30,

Total remaining available under the acquisition and warehouse facilities

   $ 70,500      $ 66,177   
                

The Company and its affiliates pay an annual commitment fee to have access to this line of credit. As of June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings under the Warehouse Facility. As of December 31, 2008, borrowings of $1.3 million were outstanding under the Warehouse Facility. The Company’s maximum obligation on the outstanding warehouse balance at December 31, 2008 was approximately $264 thousand.

As of June 30, 2009, the aggregate amount remaining unutilized under the Credit Facility is potentially available to the Company, subject to certain sub-facility and borrowing-base limitations. However, as amounts are drawn on the Credit Facility by each of the Company and the affiliates who are borrowers under the Credit Facility, the amount remaining available to all borrowers to draw under the Credit Facility is reduced. As the Warehousing Facility is a short term bridge facility, any amounts borrowed under the Warehousing Facility, and then repaid by the affiliated borrowers (including the Company) upon allocation of an acquisition to a specific purchaser, become available under the Warehouse Facility for further short term borrowing.

As of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $10 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio was not to exceed 1.25 to 1, and the required minimum interest coverage ratio was not to be less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants under the Credit Facility with a minimum Tangible Net Worth, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as calculated per the Credit Facility agreement of $23.9 million, 0.46 to 1, and 12.5 to 1, respectively, for the same period ended June 30, 2009. As such, as of June 30, 2009, the Company and its affiliates were in compliance with all material financial covenants, and with all other material conditions of the Credit Facility. The Company does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing.

Fee and interest terms

The interest rate on the Credit Facility is based on either the LIBOR/Eurocurrency rate of 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month maturity plus a lender designated spread, or the bank’s Prime rate, which re-prices daily. Principal amounts of loans made under the Credit Facility that are prepaid may be re-borrowed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth under the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has repaid all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The effective interest rate on borrowings was 3.25% at December 31, 2008. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 2.36% and 4.24% during the respective three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and 2.40% and 4.73% during the respective six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Warehouse facility

To hold the assets under the Warehousing Facility prior to allocation to specific investor programs, a Warehousing Trust has been entered into by the Company, AFS, ALC, and certain of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies. The Warehousing Trust is used by the Warehouse Facility borrowers 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, 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 are added.

As of June 30, 2009, the investment program participants were ATEL Capital Equipment Fund IX, LLC, ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC, the Company and ATEL 12, LLC. Pursuant to the Warehousing Trust, the benefit of the lease transaction assets, and the corresponding liabilities under the Warehouse 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 Warehousing Trust estate, excepting that the trustees, AFS and ALC, are both jointly and severally liable for the pro rata portion of the obligations of each of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies participating under the Warehouse Facility. Transactions are financed through this Warehouse Facility 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 proceeds of a draw under the Acquisition Facility, and the asset is removed from the Warehouse Facility collateral, and ownership of the asset and any debt obligation associated with the asset are assumed solely by the purchasing entity.

8. Commitments:

At June 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding commitments to purchase lease assets or finance loans.

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.

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.

10. Members’ capital:

As of June 30, 2009 and December 30, 2008, 5,210,507 and 5,230,507 Units were issued and outstanding, respectively. The Fund was authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 Units. The Company terminated sales of Units effective April 30, 2006.

The Company has the right, exercisable in the Manager’s discretion, but not the obligation, to repurchase Units of a Unit holder who ceases to be a U.S. Citizen, for a price equal to 100% of the holder’s capital account. The Company is otherwise permitted, but not required, to repurchase Units upon a holder’s request. The repurchase of Fund units is made in accordance with Section 13 of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement. The repurchase would be at the discretion of the Manager on terms it determines to be appropriate under given circumstances, in the event that the Manager deems such repurchase to be in the best interest of the Company; provided, the Company is never required to repurchase any Units. Upon the repurchase of any Units by the Fund, the tendered Units are cancelled. Units repurchased in prior periods were repurchased at amounts representing the original investment less cumulative distributions made to the unit-holder with respect to the Units. All Units repurchased during a quarter are deemed to be repurchased effective the last day of the preceding quarter, and are not deemed to be outstanding during, or entitled to allocations of net income, net loss or distributions for the quarter in which such repurchase occurs.

Distributions to the Other Members were as follows (in thousands, except as to Units and per Unit data):

11. Fair value of financial instruments:

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, except as it applies to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities subject to FSP No. 157-2 and FSP No. FAS 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13.” The Company implemented the deferred provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 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.

 

17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11. Fair value of financial instruments (continued):

 

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.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that require measurement on a recurring or non-recurring basis under SFAS 157.

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts by using market information and valuation methodologies that it considers appropriate consistent with SFAS 157. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize or has realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Alternatively, the following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”). Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions, set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments, are made solely to comply with the requirements of SFAS No. 107 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes.

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.

Notes receivable

The Company’s notes receivable are stated at the amount at which the asset could be collected in a current transaction, exclusive of transaction costs such as prepayment penalties.

Investment in 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. Management has concluded that there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the instruments and that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment because of its illiquidity. Accordingly, such investment is stated at cost.

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.

Borrowings

Borrowings include the outstanding amounts on the Company’s acquisition facility. The carrying amount of these variable rate obligations approximate fair value based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

Limitations

The fair value estimates presented herein were based on pertinent information available to the Company as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Although the Company is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Overview

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC (the “Company”) is a California limited liability company that was formed in June 2004 for the purpose of engaging in the sale of limited liability company investment units and acquiring equipment to generate revenues from equipment leasing, lending and sales activities, primarily in the United States.

The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (“Units”), at a price of $10 per Unit. The offering was terminated in April 2006. During 2006, the Company completed its initial acquisition stage with the investment of the net proceeds from the public offering of Units. Subsequently, during the reinvestment period (“Reinvestment Period”) (defined as six full years following the year the offering was terminated), the Company has reinvested cash flow in excess of certain amounts required to be distributed to the Other Members and/or utilized its credit facilities to acquire additional equipment. Throughout the Reinvestment Period, which ends December 31, 2012, the Company anticipates continued reinvestment of cash flow in excess of minimum distributions and other obligations. The Company is governed by its Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), as amended.

The Company may continue until December 31, 2025. Periodic distributions are paid at the discretion of the Managing Member.

Results of Operations

The three months ended June 30, 2009 versus the three months ended June 30, 2008

The Company had net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $40 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Results for the second quarter of 2009 reflect an increase in revenues coupled with a decrease in operating expenses when compared with results for the second quarter of 2008.

Revenues

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2009 increased by 924 thousand, or 29%, as compared to the prior year period. The net increase in total revenues was primarily due to a significant increase in gain on sale of lease assets and early termination of notes offset, in part, by decreases in operating lease revenues and interest income on notes receivable.

The increase in net gain on sale of lease assets and early termination of notes totaled $1.4 million and was primarily attributable to an early buyout of mining equipment by a lessee.

As a partial offset to the above mentioned increase, total operating lease revenues declined by $381 thousand primarily as a result of runoff, sales of lease assets and a decline in acquisition phase activity as the Fund approached full investment; and interest income on notes receivable declined by $80 thousand primarily due to continued runoff and early terminations of certain notes receivable.

On April 30, 2009, a major lessee, Chrysler Corporation, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Under a pre-package agreement, a new company was formed to purchase the assets of Chrysler – its plants, brands, land, equipment, as well as its contracts with the union, dealers and suppliers – from the bankruptcy court. Under this agreement, the Company had its leases with Chrysler affirmed. While a new Chrysler has emerged from bankruptcy, payments on the Company’s affirmed leases have become delinquent subsequent to April 30, 2009. The Company, in accordance with its accounting policy for delinquent operating leases has reversed the billed but not yet paid amounts, and placed these respective operating leases on a non-accrual and cash basis pending resumption of recurring payment activity. The Company also considered the equipment underlying the lease contracts for impairment and believes that such equipment is not impaired as of June 30, 2009.

Expenses

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2009 decreased by $312 thousand, or 10%, as compared to the prior year period. The net reduction in total expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, interest expense, the provision for doubtful accounts and professional fees offset, in part, by an increase in asset management fees paid to AFS.

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2009 decreased by $328 thousand, or 13%, as compared to the prior year period, largely due to runoff and sales of lease assets. Interest expense declined by $67 thousand as the Company continues to pay down outstanding borrowings. In addition, the provision for doubtful accounts was reduced by $34 thousand as a result of a second quarter 2009 adjustment to reduce the reserve as payments were received on previously reserved delinquent invoices; and professional fees declined by $30 thousand primarily resulting from a period over period reduction in audit related fees and tax preparation fees.

The aforementioned decreases in expenses were partially offset by an increase in asset management fees paid to AFS. The increase totaled $142 thousand and was a result of significant proceeds derived from an early termination of a lease. Such significant proceeds impacted the calculation of management fees due to the Managing Member.

Other (loss) income, net

The Company recorded other loss, net totaling $43 thousand and $12 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $31 thousand. The decrease was a result of an unfavorable change in foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year period.

The increase in foreign currency losses was largely due to the continued strength of the U.S. currency against the British pound, which comprises the majority of the Company’s foreign currency transactions.

The six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the six months ended June 30, 2008

The Company had net income of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and a net loss of $172 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Results for the first six months of 2009 reflect an increase in total revenues coupled with a decrease in operating expenses when compared with results for the prior year period.

Revenues

Total revenues for the first six months of 2009 increased by $529 thousand, or 8%, as compared to the prior year period. The net increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in gain on sales of assets and early termination of notes offset, in part, by decreases in operating lease revenues, interest income on notes receivable and gain on sale of securities.

The increase in net gain on sale of lease assets and early termination of notes totaled $1.4 million and was primarily attributable to an early termination of a lease, as previously discussed.

Total operating lease revenues declined by $559 thousand primarily as a result of runoff, sales of lease assets and decline in acquisition phase activity as the Fund approached full investment. Interest income on notes receivable declined by $172 thousand primarily due to continued runoff and early terminations of certain notes receivable; and gain on sale of securities decreased by $100 thousand largely due to an impaired security that was written-off during the first quarter of 2009.

Expenses

Total expenses for the first six months of 2009 decreased by $856 thousand, or 13%, as compared to the prior year period. The net reduction in total expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, interest expense, costs reimbursed to AFS and professional fees offset, in part, by an increase in asset management fees paid to AFS and the provision for losses on investment securities.

Depreciation expense for the first six months of 2009 decreased by $579 thousand, or 12%, as compared to the prior year period, largely due to runoff and sales of lease assets. Interest expense declined by $173 thousand as the Company continues to pay down outstanding borrowings. Similarly, costs reimbursed to AFS decreased by $163 thousand as a result

of a refinement of cost allocation methodologies employed by the Managing Member, intended to ensure that Fund management costs are allocated appropriately. This process is continuous and is evaluated, analyzed and modified as necessary. In addition, professional fees declined by $47 thousand primarily resulting from a period over period reduction in audit related fees and tax preparation fees.

The aforementioned decreases in expenses were partially offset by increases in asset management fees paid to AFS and the provision for losses on investment securities, totaling $101 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively. The increase in asset management fees paid to AFS was a result of significant proceeds derived from an early termination of a lease, as previously discussed; and the increase in provision for losses reflects an impairment loss related to an investment security. The impairment loss was originally recorded during the first quarter of 2009.

Other (loss) income, net

The Company recorded other loss, net totaling $67 thousand for the first six months of 2009 as compared to other income, net of $53 thousand during the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $120 thousand. The decrease was a result of an unfavorable change in foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the prior year period.

The increase in foreign currency losses was largely due to the continued strength of the U.S. currency against the British pound, which comprises the majority of the Company’s foreign currency transactions.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The liquidity of the Company varies, increasing to the extent 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 primary source of liquidity for the Company is its cash flow from leasing activities. As the 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 remarketing or selling the equipment as it comes off rental.

The changes in the Company’s cash flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are as follows:

The three months ended June 30, 2009 versus the three months ended June 30, 2008

 

   

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $152 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year period. The net increase in cash was primarily attributable to reduced payments made against accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaling $411 thousand, and increased unearned lease income totaling $313 thousand. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in net operating results, as adjusted for non-cash items such as gains on sales of assets and depreciation expense, totaling $484 thousand.

Payments made against accounts payable and accrued liabilities declined primarily due to lower sales tax payments. In addition, the Company’s liabilities increased due to lessee overpayments received during the quarter. The increase in unearned lease income represents a period over period increase in prepaid rents.

The decrease in net operating results, as adjusted for non-cash items, was primarily a result of decreases in operating lease revenue and notes receivable interest income.

Table of Contents
   

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities increased by $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in cash was largely due to a combined $6.7 million increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets and notes receivable activity. The aforementioned increase was offset, in part, by a $424 thousand decrease in payments received on notes receivable.

The significant increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets was attributable to an early termination of a lease; while the reduction in payments received on notes receivable reduced cash by $424 thousand and was largely due to the continued runoff of the notes portfolio.

 

   

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2.8 million during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in cash flow was primarily due to a reduction in net proceeds from borrowings during the comparative periods.

The six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the six months ended June 30, 2008

 

   

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $781 thousand for the first six months of 2009 as compared to the prior year period. The net increase in cash was primarily attributable to reduced payments made against accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaling $787 thousand and increased unearned lease income totaling $544 thousand. These increases in cash were offset, in part, by a decline in net operating results, as adjusted for non-cash items such as gains on sales of assets and depreciation expense, totaling $288 thousand, and decreased net collections of outstanding accounts receivable totaling $254 thousand.

Payments made against accounts payable and accrued liabilities declined as the amount for the first half of 2008 includes payment of 2007 accruals related to asset purchases and reimbursements to AFS, higher sales tax payments and a refund of a lessee overpayment. In addition, the Company’s liabilities increased due to lessee overpayments received during the second quarter of 2009. The increase in unearned lease income represents a period over period increase in prepaid rents.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned increases in cash was a decline in net operating results, as adjusted for non-cash items, which declined mainly due to the reduction in operating lease revenue and notes receivable interest income. In additions, cash was adversely impacted by a period over period decrease in collections of accounts receivable, which declined mainly due to the first quarter 2008 collection of certain 2007 billings.

 

   

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the first six months of 2009 increased by $6.3 million as compared to the prior year period. The increase in cash was mainly a result of a combined $6.6 million increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets and notes receivable activity and a $543 thousand decline in cash used to purchase lease assets. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by an $866 thousand decrease in payments received on notes receivable.

The significant increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets was attributable to an early termination of a lease; and the decline cash used to purchase lease assets was attributable to the decline in acquisition phase activity as the Fund has approached full investment. The reduction in payments received on notes receivable was largely due to the continued runoff of the notes portfolio.

 

   

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $3.8 million during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in cash flow was primarily due to a $3.7 million reduction in net proceeds from borrowings during the comparative periods combined with a $100 thousand period over period increase in repurchases of capital contributions.

Table of Contents

Throughout the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Operating Agreement), the Company anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned, and/or payments received on notes receivable, in new leasing or financing 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.

In a normal economy, if inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the Company in as much 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 and notes would not increase as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases and notes without adjustment for inflation. In addition, if interest rates increase significantly under such circumstances, the rates that the Company can obtain on future lease or financing transactions will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of leases and investments in notes receivable. Leases and notes already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

The Company currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate cash requirements and those of the next twelve months, but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Company would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements. AFS envisions no such requirements for operating purposes.

Revolving credit facility

The Company participates with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a working capital facility to AFS, an acquisition facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) and a warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) to AFS, the Company and affiliates, and a venture facility available to an affiliate, with a syndicate of financial institutions.

Compliance with covenants

The Credit Facility includes certain financial and non-financial covenants applicable to each borrower, including the Company. Such covenants include covenants typically found in credit facilities of the size and nature of the Credit Facility, such as accuracy of representations, good standing, absence of liens and material litigation, etc. The Company and affiliates were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2009. The Company considers certain financial covenants to be material to its ongoing use of the Credit Facility and these covenants are described below.

Material financial covenants

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain a specific tangible net worth, to comply with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, and to comply with other terms expressed in the Credit Facility, including limitation on the incurrence of additional debt and guaranties, defaults, and delinquencies. The material financial covenants are summarized as follows:

Minimum Tangible Net Worth: $10 million

Leverage Ratio (leverage to Tangible Net Worth): Not to exceed 1.25 to 1

Collateral Value: Collateral value under the Warehouse Facility must exceed outstanding borrowings under that facility.

EBITDA to Interest Ratio: Not to be less than 2 to 1 for the four fiscal quarters just ended.

“EBITDA” is defined under the Credit Facility as, for the relevant period of time (1) gross revenues (all payments from leases and notes receivable) for such period minus (2) expenses deducted in determining net income for such period plus (3) to the extent deducted in determining net income for such period (a) provision for income taxes and (b) interest expense, and (c) depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges. Extraordinary items and gains or losses on (and proceeds from) sales or dispositions of assets outside of the ordinary course of business are excluded in the calculation of EBITDA. “Tangible Net Worth” is defined as, as of the date of determination, (i) the net worth of the Company, after deducting therefrom (without duplication

of deductions) the net book amount of all assets of the Company, after deducting any reserves and other amounts for assets which would be treated as intangibles under GAAP, (U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and after certain other adjustments permitted under the agreements.

The financial covenants referred to above are applicable to the Company only to the extent that the Company has borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $10 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio was 1.25 to 1, and the required minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest expense) was 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with each of these financial covenants with a minimum Tangible Net Worth, leverage ratio and (EBITDA) interest coverage ratio, as calculated per the Credit Facility agreement of $23.9 million, 0.46 to 1, and 12.5 to 1, respectively, for the same period ended June 30, 2009. As such, as of June 30, 2009, the Company and its affiliates were in compliance with all such material financial covenants.

For purposes of compliance with the Credit Facility covenants, the Company uses a financial calculation of EBITDA, as defined therein, which is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. The EBITDA is utilized by the Company to calculate its debt covenant ratios.

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

 

Net income - GAAP basis

   $ 1,093   

Interest expense

     538   

Depreciation and amortization

Amortization of initial direct costs

Provision for losses on investment securities

Payments received on direct finance leases

Payments received on notes receivable

     769   

Amortization of unearned income on direct finance leases

Amorization of unearned income on notes receivable

EBITDA (for Credit Facility financial covenant calculation only)

   $ 6,736   
        

Events of default, cross-defaults, recourse and security

The terms of the Credit Facility include standard events of default by the Company which, if not cured within applicable grace periods, could give lenders remedies against the Company, including the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings and a demand for repayment in advance of their stated maturity. If a breach of any material term of the Credit Facility should occur, the lenders may, at their option, increase borrowing rates, accelerate the obligations in advance of their stated maturities, terminate the facility, and exercise rights of collection available to them under the express terms of the facility, or by operation of law. The lenders also retain the discretion to waive a violation of any covenant at the Company’s request.

The Company is currently in compliance with its obligations under the Credit Facility. In the event of a technical default (e.g., the failure to timely file a required report, or a one-time breach of a financial covenant), the Company believes it has ample time to request and be granted a waiver by the lenders, or, alternatively, cure the default under the existing provisions of its debt agreements, including, if necessary, arranging for additional capital from alternate sources to satisfy outstanding obligations.

The lending syndicate providing the Credit Facility has a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets as collateral for any and all borrowings under the Acquisition Facility, and on a pro-rata basis under the Warehouse Facility.

The Acquisition Facility is generally recourse solely to the Company, and is not cross-defaulted to any other obligations of affiliated companies under the Credit Facility, except as described in this paragraph. The Credit Facility is cross-defaulted to a default in the payment of any debt (other than non-recourse debt) or any other

agreement or condition beyond the period of grace (not exceeding 30 days), the effect of which would entitle the lender under such agreement to accelerate the obligations prior to their stated maturity in an individual or aggregate principal amount in excess of 15% of the Company’s consolidated Tangible Net Worth. Also, a bankruptcy of AFS will trigger a default for the Company under the Credit Facility.

For detailed information on the Company’s debt obligations, see Notes 6 and 7 to the financial statements as set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.

Due to the bankruptcy of a major lessee, Chrysler Corporation, the Company, in accordance with its accounting policy for allowance for doubtful accounts, has placed all operating leases with Chrysler on non-accrual status pending resumption of recurring payment activity. As a result, the Company has provided for its related billed, but not yet paid, lease payments as of June 30, 2009 through its results of operations. The company also considered the equipment underlying the lease contracts for impairment and believes that such equipment is not impaired as of June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the net book value of such equipment was approximately $1.4 million and, as of the same date, management has concluded that the status of these leases will not have a material impact on either the Company’s capital resources or liquidity.

The Company commenced periodic distributions, based on cash flows from operations, beginning with the month of June 2005. Additional distributions have been consistently made through June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2009, there were no commitments to purchase lease assets or fund investments in notes receivable.

 

Item 4T. Controls and procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s Managing Member’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (“Management”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, Management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company does not control the financial reporting process, and is solely dependent on the Management of the Managing Member, which is responsible for providing the Company with financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Managing Member’s disclosure controls and procedures, as it is applicable to the Company, were effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Changes in internal control

There were no changes in the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company.
