1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd. (the “Company” or “SeaCube”) are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting and, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, which are necessary to present fairly the results for interim periods.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC; however, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make information presented not misleading.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The Company purchases intermodal containers and leases them to shipping and transportation companies, both domestically and internationally. Containers include refrigerated and dry freight containers as well as generator sets, which are leased to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual leasing arrangements.  The Company operates in a single segment.
 
SeaCube was incorporated by Seacastle Operating Company Ltd. (the “Initial Shareholder” or “Seacastle Operating”) in Bermuda in March 2010.  Container Leasing International, LLC (d/b/a SeaCube Containers, LLC), the entity through which we conduct all of our operations (“CLI”), was founded in 1993 and was acquired by an affiliate of the Initial Shareholder in 2006.
 
On October 27, 2010, the SEC declared effective the registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,925,000 shares at a price to the public of $10.00 per share. The Company issued 3,450,000 shares in the offering, which less underwriting discounts and expenses resulted in net proceeds of approximately $27 million.  The Initial Shareholder sold 7,475,000 of its 16,000,000 previously outstanding shares.
 
Correction of Immaterial Error Related to Prior Period
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, interest expense includes a non-cash interest adjustment to reduce interest expense of $1,104, which relates to the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The correction of the error is related to one of the Company’s interest rate hedges, which matured during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Management has concluded that the effect of this error is immaterial to the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 and has thus corrected the error in the current quarter.  There is no impact to the reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Adopted in 2011
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), which amends ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition—Multiple Element Arrangements, to require the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additionally, it eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition in accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements and significantly expands the disclosures required for multiple deliverable arrangements. The Company will apply ASU 2009-13 prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pending Adoption
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity, which is the Company’s current presentation.  The Company may either present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The Company intends to update its presentation of comprehensive income to comply with ASU 2011-05 beginning January 1, 2012.
 
2. Leasing Activity

    $ 752,964     $ 191,200     $ 561,764  

The Company has had strong credit performance due to our comprehensive credit underwriting and monitoring in addition to certain attributes of our business including the size and quality of our customers and our ability to recover containers and remarket them in default situations.  As such, the Company does not record an allowance for credit losses associated with direct finance leases.
 
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had guaranteed and unguaranteed residual values for leasing equipment on direct finance leases of $115,643 and $87,691, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company had total lease receivables, unearned lease income and net lease receivables of $671,773, $155,615 and $516,158, respectively. The unguaranteed residual values are reflected in the ‘‘Net Lease Receivables’’ above.

On March 18, 2011, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CLI Funding V LLC ("CLIF V”) completed its offering of $230 million Series 2011-1 Fixed Rate Secured Notes ("Series 2011-1 Notes").

5. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
 
In the normal course of business the Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risks.  Specifically, interest rate derivatives are hedging variable rate interest payments on its various debt facilities.  If certain conditions are met, an interest rate derivative may be specifically designated as a cash flow hedge.  All of the Company’s designated interest rate derivatives are cash flow hedges.  For effective cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the interest payments on the debt are recorded in earnings.
 
The Company’s interest rate derivatives involve counterparty credit risk.  As of June 30, 2011, all of the Company’s interest rate derivatives are held with counterparties or guaranteed by parties with a credit rating of at least A3 by Moody’s.  The Company monitors the credit risk associated with these instruments periodically to validate that it is probable that the counterparty (or guarantor) will perform.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company does not anticipate that any of these counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.  As of June 30, 2011, there are no credit risk related contingent features in any of the Company’s derivative agreements.
 
The Company held the following interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2011:

6. Income Taxes
 
The consolidated income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was determined based upon estimates of the Company's consolidated effective income tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to its lower or nontaxed foreign sourced income.  In addition, the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 contains deferred tax benefits resulting from net operating losses from US sources.
 
7. Other Expenses (Income), Net
 
Other expenses (income), net of $120 and $(528) respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, included proceeds on a default insurance recovery of $483 and $1,683, respectively.  There were no proceeds from default insurance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
8. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Total comprehensive income (loss) includes net income, the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, reclassification into earnings of amounts previously deferred relating to derivative instruments and foreign currency translation gain (loss) relating to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.  Total comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

    231,207     $ 13.47  
 
The Company recorded compensation expense of $291 and $574 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $64 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Compensation expense is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Total unrecognized compensation cost was approximately $2,869 at June 30, 2011 which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.6 years.
 
11. Earnings per Share and Dividends
 
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including participating securities outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares based on the treasury stock method.  The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) in the prior year period have been retroactively adjusted to include the 16,000,000 common shares issued to the Initial Shareholder.
 
In accordance with the Earnings per Share Topic, any unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method.  Accordingly, all of the Company’s restricted common shares are participating securities.

12. Geographic Information
 
The Company’s customers use containers to conduct their global trading operations which utilize a vast network of worldwide trade routes.  The Company earns its revenues from such customers when the equipment is in use carrying cargo around the world.  Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars. The following table represents the allocation of domestic and international revenues for the periods indicated based upon the customers’ primary domicile.  As all of the Company’s containers are used internationally and not domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, these assets are considered to be international.

13. Related Party Transactions
 
Transactions with Affiliates
 
Prior to our IPO, the Company shared some services, staff and space with other affiliates of Seacastle.  In addition, the Company incurred expenses for share-based compensation allocated from Seacastle, to both dedicated and shared SeaCube employees. These amounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The expense and cost allocations have been determined based on methodologies (such as space used or hours worked) in order to establish reasonable charges for the services provided or for the benefit received during the periods presented.  Since becoming a public company, the transactions with affiliates are significantly reduced and currently limited to reimbursement for shared office space and staff to support tax related work.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net charges (to) from these affiliates were $88 and $(21), respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net charges (to) from these affiliates were $196 and $(61), respectively. The Company has a net receivable from affiliates of Seacastle of $255 and $317 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Shareholder Note and Dividend
 
In August 2010, the Company distributed $3.75 million to the Initial Shareholder in the form of a loan which was used to make interest and principal payments on Seacastle’s Credit Facility.  In September 2010, the Company distributed $4.4 million to the Initial Shareholder in the form of a loan which was used to make interest and principal payments and pay fees on Seacastle’s Credit Facility.  The Initial Shareholder plans to repay these amounts plus interest at 3% per annum with cash expected from SeaCube dividends, contributions from other Seacastle subsidiaries, or other cash flows.  Interest income earned from this note was $62 and $123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Restricted cash:  Restricted cash consists of cash that is held by the Company for security deposits received from lessees pursuant to the terms of various lease agreements and rent collections held in lockbox accounts pursuant to the Company’s credit facilities and securitization agreements.
 
Derivative instruments:  The Company’s interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of United States dollar denominated LIBOR-based interest rate derivatives, and their fair values are determined using cash flows discounted at relevant market interest rates in effect at the period close. The fair value generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to transfer the contracts at the reporting date and therefore reflects the Company’s or counterparty’s non-performance risk.
 
Leasing assets held for sale are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  The fair value is calculated using the income approach based on inputs classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  There were no other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
The Company’s financial instruments, other than cash, consist principally of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and interest rate derivatives.  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates the carrying value of these financial instruments because of their short-term nature.  The fair values of our debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those listed under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview
 
SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd (“SeaCube” or “the Company”) is one of the world’s largest container leasing companies based on total assets.  Containers are the primary means by which products are shipped internationally because they facilitate efficient movement of goods via multiple transportation modes including ships, rail and trucks.  The principal activities of our business include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of refrigerated and dry containers and generator sets.  The Company leases our containers primarily under long-term contracts to a diverse group of the world’s leading shipping lines.  As of June 30, 2011, we employ 76 people in seven offices worldwide and have total assets of $1.4 billion.
 
As of June 30, 2011, we own or manage a fleet of 558,294 units, representing 878,397 TEUs of containers and generator sets.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our average utilization was 98.6%, as measured in units.
 
We lease three types of assets:

●     Refrigerated containers (‘‘reefers’’), which are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods;
●     Dry freight containers, which are used for general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples and apparel; and
●     Generator sets (‘‘gensets’’), which are diesel generators used to provide mobile power to reefers.
 
We lease these assets on a per diem basis on two principal lease types under which the lessee is responsible for all operating costs including taxes, insurance and maintenance:

●     Operating leases, typically with initial terms of five to eight years, under which containers are re-leased or returned to us at expiration of the initial lease; and
●     Direct finance leases, which are typically structured as long-term leases with a bargain purchase option, under which ownership transfers to the lessee at expiration of the lease.

Direct Operating Expenses
 
Direct operating expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.5 million or 29%.  The primary reason for the decrease was lower handling fees and repair costs.  Our storage fees continue to be relatively low, which is attributable to higher utilization (and thus fewer units stored).
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.9 million or 18%.  The increase was primarily due to incremental costs associated with being a publicly traded company.
 
Depreciation Expenses
 
Depreciation of leasing equipment was $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.4 million for three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $2.6 million or 31%. Depreciation on new additions net of disposals and sales accounted for $2.7 million of the increase, which was offset by a decrease of $0.1 million due to equipment reaching the end of their depreciable lives.
 
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
 
Provision for doubtful accounts was $0.04 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $(0.4) million for three months ended June 30, 2010.  We continued to have a strong credit and collections experience, which was due to the improved credit quality of our customer base along with our comprehensive credit underwriting and monitoring.  In the prior year period, we lowered our reserve as the credit quality of our customer base improved.
 
Impairment of Leasing Equipment Held for Sale
 
We recorded an impairment of leasing equipment held for sale of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.6 million for three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.4 million.  We evaluate the recovery of our containers and gensets designated for sale and record a loss if the ultimate sales value is expected to be below the current carrying cost.  The majority of our impairments occur at the conclusion of an operating lease when our equipment is older and has incurred a certain amount of damage that the lessee is responsible for.  The decision to sell the container is based upon a discounted cash flow model which includes rebillable costs.  These rebillable costs are recorded as other revenues and are not recorded as a reduction in the impairment of leasing equipment held for sale.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.0 million or 28%.  Our weighted average debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $217.9 million due to our investment in new containers, resulting in an increase of approximately $2.8 million to interest cost.  In addition, in May and November of 2010, we increased our available credit under the CLIF IV and Revolving Credit Facilities, respectively, which resulted in higher commitment fees of $0.2 million in the current period.  There was also an increase in non-cash interest expense in the current period, including an increase in amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.4 million and an increase in losses recognized directly into income for ineffective derivatives of $0.3 million, which was partially offset by lower amortization of terminated derivatives of $0.5 million.  The increase in expense related to hedge ineffectiveness is inclusive of a non-cash interest adjustment to reduce interest expense of $1.1 million, which relates to the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The correction of this immaterial error is related to one of our interest rate hedges, which matured during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.1 million.
 
Other Expense (Income), Net
 
Other expense (income), net was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  In 2010, we received an insurance recovery of $0.5 million, which was offset by lower losses in the current period on equipment sales of $0.5 million.

Net Income

In addition to the changes in net income noted above, the six months ended June 30, 2011, includes a decrease in the non-cash interest expense of $1.1 million.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically met our liquidity requirements primarily from the following sources:
 
 
Revenues including operating lease revenues, total finance lease collections, billings to lessors for repairs and maintenance, and asset management fees. Cash flows from operating activities and principal collections on finance leases were $97.0 million and $96.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
 
Lines of credit and other secured borrowings, under which $1,024.1 million was outstanding and $172.0 million was available as of June 30, 2011.
 
 
Sales of our older leasing equipment, which was $5.9 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
We expect that our cash flows from our operations, principal collections on direct finance leases, existing credit facilities and sales of older equipment will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.  Our current projections of cash flows from operations and the availability of funds under our revolving credit agreement are expected to be sufficient to fund our maturing debt and contractual obligations in the next several years.  In the future, we will need to borrow funds to finance the purchases of new assets we intend to buy to expand our business.
 
On March 18, 2011, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, CLI Funding V LLC ("CLIF V"), completed its offering of $230 million Series 2011-1 Fixed Rate Secured Notes ("Series 2011-1 Notes").  The Series 2011-1 Notes, rated "A" by Standard & Poor's, were issued at par with an annual interest rate of 4.5%.  In addition, on April 28, 2011, the Company closed on a $50 million Five Year Senior Unsecured Term Loan.  The loan has an annual interest rate of 11%, which is payable semi-annually beginning on July 1, 2011.  There are no required principal payments prior to maturity on April 28, 2016.  The Company will use the net proceeds of these borrowings for container purchases and other general business purposes.
 
Liquidity Needs to Acquire Equipment to be Leased
 
The acquisition of leasing assets fuels our growth. As a result, we expect to invest substantial funds to acquire containers and gensets, although there can be no assurances as to the timing and amount of such acquisitions.  Going forward, provided there is sufficient demand, production capacity, appropriate pricing and available financing, we intend to invest in new containers at a level that is consistent with our historical investment activity. As of August 2, 2011, SeaCube has ordered approximately $399.6 million of new equipment for delivery through November 30, 2011.  Of this amount, approximately $359.4 million, or 90%, has been committed to long-term leases.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.3 million and $44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a $2.1 million increase.  The increase in operating cash flow from six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010 was primarily the result of increased profitability.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(264.3) million and $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a $279.8 million decrease to cash flow.  The primary driver of the decrease is our higher investment in direct finance leases and purchases of leased equipment in the current year period of $275.7 million, which reflects the continued strong demand for containers.  In addition, our restricted cash balances increased by $4.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus a decrease of $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $212.6 million and $(53.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a $266.4 million increase to cash flow.  During the current period, the proceeds of long-term debt (net of payments) increased by $278.1 million versus the prior period as a result of our increased investment in direct finance leases and leasing equipment.  In conjunction with the closing of the financing in the current period, we incurred debt issuance costs of $7.5 million. Also, upon the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under CLIF IV, we paid $0.7 million, which represented the fair value of the derivative on the CLIF IV borrowings.  Additionally, dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $8.4 million compared with $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2011.
 
Non-GAAP Measure
 
Adjusted net income is a measure of financial and operating performance that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Adjusted net income is a measure of our operating and financial performance used by management to focus on consolidated financial and operating performance exclusive of income and expenses that relate to non-routine or significant non-cash items of the business.
 
We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income before non-cash interest expense related to terminations and modifications of derivative instruments, losses on retirement of debt, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on swap terminations, write-offs of goodwill and gain on the 2009 Sale. We use adjusted net income to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this non-GAAP measure is helpful to management and investors in identifying trends in our performance. This measure helps management make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance. Adjusted net income provides us with a measure of financial performance of the business based on operational factors including the profitability of assets on an economic basis net of operating expenses and the capital costs of the business on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of certain non-routine and non-cash items from our operating results.  Adjusted net income is a key metric used by senior management and our board of directors to review the consolidated financial performance of the business.

Adjusted net income has limitations as an analytical tool and is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP, including net income, or net cash from operating activities.  For example, adjusted net income does not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, or (ii) changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.  In addition, our calculation of adjusted net income may differ from the adjusted net income or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, adjusted net income should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or to pay dividends.  We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using adjusted net income only supplementally.
 
The following table shows the reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to adjusted net income:

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Adopted in 2011
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), which amends ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition—Multiple Element Arrangements, to require the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additionally, it eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition in accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements and significantly expands the disclosures required for multiple deliverable arrangements. The revised guidance provides entities with the option of adopting the revisions retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively for all revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption. The Company will apply ASU 2009-13 prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Pending Adoption
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity.  The Company may either present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The Company intends to update its presentation of comprehensive income to comply with ASU 2011-05 beginning January 1, 2012.

Exchange Rate Risk
 
While our leasing per diems are billed and paid to us in U.S. dollars, we are subject to exchange gains and losses for local currency expenditures. We record the effect of non-U.S. dollar currency transactions when we translate the non-U.S. subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as they exist at the end of each month.
 
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We have long-term debt obligations that accrue interest at variable rates. Interest rate changes may therefore impact the amount of interest payments, future earnings and cash flows. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates that may result from fluctuations in the variable rates of interest accrued by our long-term debt obligations.  Based on the debt obligation payable as of June 30, 2011, we estimate that cash flows from interest expense relating to variable rate debt and the relevant interest rate swap agreement would increase by $0.04 million on an annual basis in the event interest rates were to increase by 10%.
 
 
Credit Risk
 
We are subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to amounts due from customers. We seek to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, when deemed necessary, require letters of credit, guarantees or collateral. Our credit policy sets different maximum exposure guidelines for each customer. Credit criteria may include, but are not limited to, customer trade route, country, social and political climate, assessments of net worth, asset ownership, bank and trade credit references, credit bureau reports, operational history and financial strength.
 
We seek to reduce credit risk by maintaining insurance coverage against customer insolvency and related equipment losses. We maintain contingent physical damage, recovery and loss of revenue insurance, which provides coverage in the event of a customer’s insolvency, bankruptcy or default giving rise to our demand for return of all of our equipment. Subject to the policy’s deductible and other terms and conditions, it covers the cost of recovering our equipment, damage to the equipment, loss of equipment and, to a limited extent, lost revenues. This coverage automatically renews for one additional one-year term on the anniversary of the commencement date subject to maintaining a certain claim experience rate.
 
Our hedging transactions using derivative instruments have counterparty credit risk. The counterparties to our derivative arrangements and repurchase agreements are major financial institutions with high credit ratings. As a result, we do not anticipate that any of these counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against this risk and will ultimately realize an economic benefit from our hedging strategies or recover the full value of the securities underlying our repurchase agreements in the event of a default by a counterparty.
 
 
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
 
The provision for doubtful accounts includes our estimate of allowances necessary for receivables on both operating and direct financing lease receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is developed based on two key components (1) specific reserves for receivables which are impaired for which management believes full collection is doubtful and (2) reserves for estimated losses inherent in the receivables based upon historical trends. We believe our provision for doubtful accounts is adequate to provide for credit losses inherent in our accounts receivable. The provision for doubtful accounts requires the application of estimates and judgments as to the outcome of collection efforts and the realization of collateral, among other things. In addition, changes in economic conditions or other events may necessitate additions or deductions to the provision for doubtful accounts. Direct financing leases are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. When evaluating our operating and direct financing lease receivables for impairment, we consider, among other things, the level of past due amounts of the respective receivable, the borrower’s financial condition, credit quality indicators of the borrower, the value of underlying collateral and third party credit enhancements such as guarantees and insurance policies. Once a direct financing lease is determined to be non-performing, our procedures provide for the following events to take place in order to evaluate collectability:
 
 
 
-25-

 
 
 
The past due amounts are reclassified to accounts receivable,
 
 
The equipment value supporting such direct financing lease is reclassified to leasing equipment, and
 
 
Collectability is evaluated, taking into consideration equipment book value and the total outstanding receivable, as well as the likelihood of collection through the recovery of equipment.
 
The adequacy of our provision for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a monthly review of the collectability of our receivables. This review is based on the risk profile of the receivables, credit quality indicators such as the level of past-due amounts and economic conditions, as well as the value of underlying collateral in the case of direct financing lease receivables.
 
 
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2011.  Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings

We have been, and may from time to time be, involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. Our industry is also subject to scrutiny by government regulators, which could result in enforcement proceedings or litigation related to regulatory compliance matters. We maintain insurance policies in amounts and with the coverage and deductibles we believe are adequate, based on the nature and risks of our business, historical experience and industry standards. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material legal or adverse regulatory proceedings.
