Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
 
 
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of ICON Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Manager”), all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the LLC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in prior periods to conform to the current presentation. Interest and other income has been reclassified to finance income within the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In 2010, the LLC adopted the accounting pronouncement related to the disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The pronouncement requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statements users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowances for credit losses.  Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses and class of financing receivable. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators.  Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period are required for the LLC’s consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of these additional disclosures did not have a material effect on the LLC’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"), which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity and instead requires presentation in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 becomes effective for the LLC's interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2012. The LLC does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.

Notes Receivable
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the LLC exchanged its 52.09% ownership interest in a joint venture for its proportionate share of notes receivable from ION Geophysical Corp. (“ION”), which notes receivable were previously owned by the joint venture. The aggregate principal balance of the notes was approximately $8,348,000, and the notes accrue interest at 15% and mature on August 1, 2014.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.

Effective January 1, 2011, the LLC exchanged its 52.75% ownership interest in a joint venture for its proportionate share of notes receivable from Northern Capital Associates XIV, L.P. (“Northern Leasing”), which notes receivable were previously owned by the joint venture.  The aggregate principal balance of the notes was approximately $5,327,000, and the notes accrue interest at 9.47% to 9.90% and mature between December 15, 2011 and February 15, 2013.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the LLC exchanged its 49.13% ownership interest in a joint venture for an assignment of its proportionate share of future cash flows of a loan receivable from Quattro Plant Limited (“Quattro”), which was previously owned by the joint venture.  As a result of this assignment, the LLC recorded a loan receivable of approximately £2,478,000, which accrues interest at 20% and matures on October 1, 2012.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.
 
Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The Manager weighs all credit decisions on a combination of external credit ratings as well as internal credit evaluations of all potential borrowers.  A potential borrower’s credit application is analyzed using those credit ratings as well as the potential borrower’s financial statements and other financial data deemed relevant.
 
The LLC’s notes receivable are limited in number and are spread across a wide range of industries.  Accordingly, the LLC does not aggregate notes receivable into portfolio segments or classes.  Due to the limited number of notes receivable, the LLC is able to estimate the allowance for credit losses based on a detailed analysis of each note receivable as opposed to using portfolio based metrics and allowance for credit losses.  Notes are analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or nonperforming based on payment history.  If a note becomes non-performing due to a borrower’s missed scheduled payments or failed financial covenants, the Manager analyzes whether a reserve should be established or the note should be restructured. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Manager determined that no allowance for credit losses was required.
 
Interest income recognized on notes receivable is included in finance income within the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment in Joint Ventures
 
ICON AET Holdings, LLC
 
On March 29, 2011, the LLC and ICON Equipment and Corporate Infrastructure Fund Fourteen, L.P. (“Fund Fourteen”), an entity also managed by the Manager, entered into a joint venture, ICON AET Holdings, LLC ("ICON AET'), owned 25% by the LLC and 75% by Fund Fourteen, for the purpose of acquiring two Aframax tankers and two Very Large Crude Carriers (the “VLCCs”) (collectively, the “AET Vessels”). The Aframax tankers were each acquired for a purchase price of $13,000,000 and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET Inc. Limited (“AET”) for a period of three years. The VLCCs were each acquired for a purchase price of $72,000,000 and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET for a period of 10 years.  The aggregate purchase price of the AET Vessels was $170,000,000, of which $150,000,000 was ultimately financed through non-recourse long-term debt.
 
On April 5, 2011, ICON AET borrowed $22,000,000 of subordinated non-recourse long-term debt from an unaffiliated third-party in connection with the LLC’s investment in the AET Vessels.  The loan is for a period of sixty months and at the Manager’s option may be extended for an additional twelve months. The loan is secured by the equity interests of ICON AET.

Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse - continued
 
On May 10, 2011, the LLC entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CB&T. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Facility”), which is secured by all of the LLC’s assets not subject to a first priority lien, as defined in the Loan Agreement. Amounts available under the Facility are subject to a borrowing base that is determined, subject to certain limitations, on the present value of the future receivables under certain loans and lease agreements in which the LLC has a beneficial interest.
 
The Facility expires on March 31, 2013 and the LLC may request a one year extension to the revolving line of credit within 390 days of the then-current expiration date, but CB&T has no obligation to extend. The interest rate for general advances under the Facility is CB&T’s prime rate and the interest rate on up to five separate non-prime rate advances that are permitted to be made under the Facility is the 90-day rate at which U.S. dollar deposits can be acquired by CB&T in the London Interbank Eurocurrency Market plus 2.5% per year, provided that neither interest rate is permitted to be less than 4.0% per year.  In addition, the LLC is obligated to pay a commitment fee based on an annual rate of 0.50% on unused commitments under the Facility. At June 30, 2011, there were no obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the LLC is required to comply with certain covenants.  At June 30, 2011, the LLC was in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The LLC may enter into derivative transactions for purposes of hedging specific financial exposures, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates on its non-recourse long-term debt. The LLC enters into these instruments only for hedging underlying exposures. The LLC does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, except for warrants, which are not hedges.  Certain derivatives may not meet the established criteria to be designated as qualifying accounting hedges, even though the LLC believes that these are effective economic hedges.
 
The LLC recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measure those instruments at fair value. The LLC recognizes the fair value of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless certain accounting criteria established by the accounting pronouncements are met. These criteria demonstrate that the derivative is expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value or expected cash flows of the underlying exposure at both the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis and include an evaluation of the counterparty risk and the impact, if any, on the effectiveness of the derivative. If these criteria are met, which the LLC must document and assess at inception and on an ongoing basis, the LLC recognizes the changes in fair value of such instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion of all derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The LLC’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable non-recourse debt. The LLC’s hedging strategy to accomplish this objective is to match the projected future cash flows with the underlying debt service. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of floating-rate interest payments from a counterparty in exchange for the LLC making fixed interest rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the LLC had twelve floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps that are designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $165,362,560. These interest rate swaps have maturity dates ranging from July 25, 2011 to September 30, 2014.
 
For these derivatives, the LLC records the gain or loss from the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges in AOCI and such gain or loss is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings and within the same line item on the statements of operations as the impact of the hedged transaction. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the LLC recorded $11,172 and $23,250 of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the accumulated unrealized loss recorded to AOCI related to the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps was $5,884,936.
 
During the twelve months ending June 30, 2012, the LLC estimates that approximately $3,468,000 will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense.

      Foreign Exchange Risk
 
The LLC is exposed to fluctuations in Euros and pounds sterling. The LLC, at times, uses foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward agreements, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-Euro and USD-pounds sterling exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements typically have been cash settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. The LLC had no foreign currency derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2011.
 
Non-designated Derivatives
 
As of June 30, 2011, the LLC had two interest rate swaps with a notional balance of $14,301,613 that are not speculative and are used to meet the LLC’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The LLC’s strategy to accomplish this objective is to match the projected future cash flows with the underlying debt service. Each interest rate swap involves the receipt of floating-rate interest payments from a counterparty in exchange for the LLC making fixed interest rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
 
Additionally, the LLC holds warrants that are held for purposes other than hedging. All changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps not designated as hedges and the warrants are recorded directly in earnings.

The LLC’s derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments generated a gain (loss) on financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of $20,624 and ($196,279), respectively.

Derivative Risks
 
The LLC manages exposure to possible defaults on derivative financial instruments by monitoring the concentration of risk that the LLC has with any individual bank and through the use of minimum credit quality standards for all counterparties. The LLC does not require collateral or other security in relation to derivative financial instruments. Since it is the LLC’s policy to enter into derivative contracts with banks of internationally acknowledged standing only, the LLC considers the counterparty risk to be remote.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position was $6,863,750. In the event that the LLC would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements as of June 30, 2011, the termination value would be $7,106,703.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
 
AOCI includes accumulated unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments and accumulated unrealized losses on currency translation adjustments of $5,884,936 and $1,106,158, respectively, at June 30, 2011 and accumulated unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments and accumulated unrealized losses on currency translation adjustments of $6,484,037 and $1,505,909, respectively, at December 31, 2010.  Total comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $6,366,092 and $10,250,243, respectively.  Total comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3,988,113 and $8,954,274, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Assets and liabilities are carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
·  
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
·  
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
·  
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable and cannot be corroborated by market data.

Fair Value Measurements - continued
 
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
 
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Manager’s assessment, on the LLC’s behalf, of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following table summarizes the valuation of the LLC’s material financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011:

The LLC’s derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps and warrants, are valued using models based on readily observable or unobservable market parameters for all substantial terms of the LLC’s derivative contracts and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3. As permitted by the accounting pronouncements, the LLC uses market prices and pricing models for fair value measurements of its derivative instruments.  The fair value of the warrants was recorded in other non-current assets and the fair value of the derivative liabilities was recorded in derivative instruments within the consolidated balance sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
The LLC is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value or provide valuation allowances for certain assets and liabilities using fair value measurements.  The LLC’s non-financial assets, such as leased equipment at cost, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.  The following table summarizes the valuation of the LLC’s material non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2011:

The LLC’s non-financial assets are valued using inputs that are generally unobservable and cannot be corroborated by market data and are classified within Level 3. As permitted by the accounting pronouncements, the LLC uses projected cash flows, market prices and prices determined based on arm's length negotiated transactions with a third party for fair value measurements of its non-financial assets.
 
Fair value information with respect to the LLC’s leased assets and liabilities is not separately provided since (i) the current accounting pronouncements do not require fair value disclosures of lease arrangements and (ii) the carrying value of financial assets, other than lease-related investments, approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities and variable interest rates. The carrying value of the LLC’s non-recourse debt approximates its fair value due to its floating interest rates.  The estimated fair value of the LLC’s other non-current liabilities and notes receivable was based on the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received from the loans based on terms consistent with the range of the LLC’s internal pricing strategies for transactions of this type.

Commitments and Contingencies

At the time the LLC acquires or divests of its interest in an equipment lease or other financing transaction, the LLC may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities.  The Manager believes that any liability that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the LLC taken as a whole.
 
The LLC has entered into certain residual sharing and remarketing agreements with various third parties.  In connection with these agreements, residual proceeds received in excess of specific amounts will be shared with these third parties based on specific formulas. The obligation related to these agreements is recorded at fair value.
 
In connection with certain investments, the LLC is required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks.  The aforementioned cash amounts are presented within other non-current assets in the LLC’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(14)
Subsequent Event

On July 15, 2011, ICON Atlas, LLC (“ICON Atlas”) amended the master lease agreement with the lessee.  The amendment requires the lessee to purchase the assets under lease upon termination.  As a result, ICON Atlas received an amendment fee of $500,000.

Item 2. Manager’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following is a discussion of our current financial position and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. This discussion should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures below regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” and the “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms include ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Our offering period ended on April 30, 2009 and our operating period commenced on May 1, 2009. During our offering period, we raised $347,686,947 in total equity.  We operate as an equipment leasing and finance program in which the capital our members invested was pooled together to make investments, pay fees and establish a small reserve. With the proceeds from the sale of shares of our limited liability company interests (“Shares”), we invested and continue to invest in equipment subject to leases, other equipment financing, and residual ownership rights in items of leased equipment and established a cash reserve.  After the net offering proceeds were invested, additional investments will be made with the cash generated from our initial investments to the extent that cash is not used for expenses, reserves and distributions to members. The investment in additional equipment in this manner is called “reinvestment.” We anticipate investing in equipment from time to time for five years. This time frame is called the “operating period” and may be extended, at the sole discretion of our Manager, for up to an additional three years.  After the operating period, we will then sell our assets in the ordinary course of business during a time frame called the “liquidation period.”
 
Our Manager manages and controls our business affairs, including, but not limited to, our equipment leases and other financing transactions, under the terms of our limited liability company agreement.

Recent Significant Transactions

We engaged in the following significant transactions since December 31, 2010:

New Investments

·  
On March 29, 2011, we and Fund Fourteen entered into a joint venture, ICON AET, owned 25% by us and 75% by Fund Fourteen, for the purpose of acquiring the AET Vessels. The Aframax tankers were each acquired for a purchase price of $13,000,000 and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET for a period of three years. The VLCCs were each acquired for a purchase price of $72,000,000 and were simultaneously bareboat chartered to AET for a period of 10 years.  The aggregate purchase price of the AET Vessels was $170,000,000, of which $150,000,000 was ultimately financed through non-recourse long-term debt.
 
 
On April 5, 2011, ICON AET borrowed $22,000,000 of subordinated non-recourse long-term debt from an unaffiliated third-party in connection with our investment in the AET Vessels.  The loan is for a period of sixty months and at our Manager’s option may be extended for an additional twelve months. The loan is secured by the equity interests of ICON AET.
 
·  
On March 31, 2011, we purchased information technology equipment for the purchase price of approximately $1,954,000 and simultaneously leased the equipment to Broadview. The base term of the lease schedule is for a period of 36 months, which commenced on April 1, 2011.
 
Dispositions

·  
On March 4, 2011, we sold equipment on lease to American Energy for the purchase price of approximately $1,798,000. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.

·  
During 2011, we, in conjunction with Fund Eleven, sold certain parcels of real property for a net purchase price of approximately $1,403,000, of which our portion was approximately $996,000. We recorded a loss of approximately $44,000 as a result of these transactions.

·  
On April 4, 2011, at the expiration of the lease and in accordance with its terms, we sold certain telecommunications equipment to Global Crossing for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,188,000.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.

Notes Receivable

·  
Effective January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 52.09% ownership interest in a joint venture for our proportionate share of notes receivable from ION, which notes receivable were previously owned by the joint venture. The aggregate principal balance of the notes was approximately $8,348,000, and the notes accrue interest at 15% and mature on August 1, 2014. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.
 
·  
Effective January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 52.75% ownership interest in a joint venture for notes receivable from Northern Leasing, which were previously owned by the joint venture. The aggregate principal balance of the notes was approximately $5,327,000, and the notes accrue interest at 9.47% to 9.90% and mature between December 15, 2011 and February 15, 2013.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.

·  
Effective January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 49.13% ownership interest in a joint venture for an assignment of our proportionate share of the future cash flows of a loan receivable from Quattro, which was previously owned by the joint venture.  As a result of this assignment, we recorded a loan receivable of approximately £2,478,000, which accrues interest at 20% and matures on October 1, 2012.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  Upon completion of the exchange, the joint venture was deconsolidated and then terminated.

Net Investment in Finance Leases

·  
On May 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement to sell certain automotive manufacturing equipment under lease for the purchase price of €3,000,000.  The purchase price will be paid in three installments and will accrue interest at a rate of 5.5%.  We will retain title to the equipment until the final payment is received on or before June 1, 2013.  Accordingly, we have accounted for this sale as a net investment in finance lease as of June 30, 2011.

Impairment

·  
As a result of negotiations to remarket certain vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2011, our Manager reviewed our investment in ICON Mayon and determined that the net book value of the vessel under lease exceeded the fair value.  As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $11,291,000.  Subsequent to June 30, 2011, our Manager terminated efforts to remarket the vessel.  As a result, our Manager modified the exit strategy related to the investment in the vessel and we recognized an additional non-cash impairment charge of approximately $10,567,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Acquisition Fees

In connection with the new investments made since December 31, 2010, we paid total acquisition fees to our Manager of approximately $2,585,000.

Subsequent Event

On July 15, 2011, ICON Atlas amended the master lease agreement with the lessee.  The amendment requires the lessee to purchase the assets under lease upon termination.  As a result, ICON Atlas received an amendment fee of $500,000.
 
On July 25, 2011, ICON Mayon partially satisfied approximately $2,000,000 of its obligations to an unaffiliated third-party lender.

Total revenue for the 2011 Quarter decreased $4,810,747, or 20.0%, as compared to the 2010 Quarter.  The gain on guaranty recorded during the 2010 Quarter was in connection with the termination of the credit support agreement related to financing provided to the MW Universal, Inc. (“MWU”) subsidiaries.  The decrease in finance income was primarily due to (i) the termination of three consolidated joint ventures during 2011 and (ii) the liquidation of our investment in a note receivable during 2010.  The decrease in finance income was partially offset by (i) our investment in three notes receivable during 2010 and (ii) our investment in three finance lease transactions during 2010.  The decrease in rental income was primarily due to two dispositions during 2011.  The decrease in income from investment in joint ventures was primarily due to the operating results of our new investment in a joint venture during the 2011 Quarter.
 
Expenses for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter are summarized as follows:

  $ 25,182,393     $ 17,344,090     $ 7,838,303  
                         
 
Total expenses for the 2011 Quarter increased $7,838,303, or 45.2%, as compared to the 2010 Quarter. The increase in total expenses is primarily due to the increase in the non-cash impairment charge recorded by ICON Mayon during the 2011 Quarter, which was partially offset by the decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Noncontrolling Interests
 
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $5,540,753, from net income of $1,554,917 in the 2010 Quarter to a net loss of $3,985,836 in the 2011 Quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in the non-cash impairment charge recorded by ICON Mayon and the termination of three consolidated joint ventures during 2011.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net (loss) income attributable to us for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter was ($1,944,227) and $5,164,070, respectively. Net (loss) income attributable to us per weighted average additional Share outstanding for the 2011 Quarter and the 2010 Quarter was ($5.52) and $14.66, respectively.

Total assets decreased $70,709,100, from $594,249,580 at December 31, 2010 to $523,540,480 at June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the termination of three consolidated joint ventures, (ii) the impairment of certain leased equipment, (iii) cash distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests and (iv) the depreciation of leased equipment at cost.
 
Current Assets
 
Current assets decreased $18,125,492, from $74,732,616 at December 31, 2010 to $56,607,124 at June 30, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to (i) the termination of three consolidated joint ventures, (ii) cash used for an investment in a noncontrolling interest and (iii) cash distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests during the 2011 Period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Summary
 
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24,740,548 and $29,219,287, respectively. During our offering period, our main source of cash was from financing activities and our main use of cash was in investing activities. During our operating period, our main source of cash is typically from operating activities and our main use of cash is in investing and financing activities. Our liquidity will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from investments and proceeds from the sale of our investments exceed expenses and decreasing as we enter into new investments, meet our debt obligations, pay distributions to our members and to the extent that expenses exceed cash flows from operations and the proceeds from sale of our investments.
 
We currently have adequate cash balances and generate a sufficient amount of cash flow from operations to meet our short-term working capital requirements.  We expect to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to sustain our working capital requirements in the foreseeable future. In the event that our working capital is not adequate to fund our short-term liquidity needs, we could borrow against our Facility, which provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $10,000,000 available to meet such requirements.  The Facility replaced the loan facility provided under the Prior Loan Agreement that was terminated on May 10, 2011.  For additional information, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.
 
We anticipate that our liquidity requirements for the remaining life of the fund will be financed by the expected results of our operating and financing activities, as well as cash received from our investments at maturity.
 
We anticipate being able to meet our liquidity requirements into the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate cash in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that affect us and our lessees’ and borrowers’ businesses that are beyond our control.
 
Pursuant to the terms of our offering, we established a cash reserve in the amount of 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds.  As of June 30, 2011, the cash reserve was $1,738,435.
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities increased $1,631,880, from $22,199,416 in the 2010 Period, to $23,831,296 in the 2011 Period.  The net increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in the collection of finance leases during the 2011 Period.

 
 
28

 
 
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash provided by investing activities decreased $6,044,337, from $6,116,983 in the 2010 Period, to $72,646 during the 2011 Period. The net decrease in cash provided by investing activities was due to our investment in a noncontrolling interest during the 2011 Period and a decrease in the proceeds received from notes receivable as a result of (i) the termination of three consolidated joint ventures during the 2011 Period and (ii) the liquidation of our investment in a note receivable during 2010.  The net decrease in cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by (i) the distributions received from our investment in joint ventures, (ii) the proceeds received from the sale of certain equipment and (iii) a decrease in the amount used for purchase of certain equipment during the 2011 Period.
 
Financing Activities
 
Cash used in financing activities increased $12,791,346, from $15,593,878 in the 2010 period, to $28,385,224 in the 2011 Period.  The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to (i) the net decrease in the proceeds received from non-recourse long-term debt, (ii) the increase in repayments of non-recourse long-term debt and (iii) a decrease of investment in joint ventures by noncontrolling interests.  This increase was partially offset by the decrease in distributions made to noncontrolling interests as a result of the termination of three consolidated joint ventures during the 2011 Period.
 
Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt
 
We had non-recourse long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2011 of $188,707,685. Most of our non-recourse long-term debt obligations consist of notes payable in which the lender has a security interest in the equipment and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease, in which case the lender is being paid directly by the lessee. In other cases, we receive the rental payments and pay the lender.  If the lessee were to default on the non-recourse long-term debt, the equipment would be returned to the lender in extinguishment of the non-recourse long-term debt.
 
Distributions
 
We, at our Manager’s discretion, pay monthly distributions to each of our additional members and noncontrolling interests starting with the first month after each such member’s admission and the commencement of our joint venture operations, respectively, and we expect to continue to pay such distributions until the end of our operating period. We paid distributions of $169,828, $16,822,442 and $2,769,933 to our Manager, additional members and noncontrolling interests, respectively, during the 2011 Period.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Commitments and Contingencies
 
At June 30, 2011, we had non-recourse debt obligations. The lender has a security interest in the majority of the equipment collateralizing each non-recourse long-term debt instrument and an assignment of the rental payments under the lease associated with the equipment. In such cases, the lender is being paid directly by the lessee.  In other cases, we receive the rental payments and pay the lender. If the lessee defaults on the lease, the equipment would be returned to the lender in extinguishment of the non-recourse debt. At June 30, 2011, our outstanding non-recourse long-term indebtedness was $188,707,685.  We are a party to the Facility, which replaced the facility provided under the Prior Loan Agreement, and had no borrowings under the Facility at June 30, 2011.
 
We have entered into certain residual sharing and remarketing agreements with various third parties.  In connection with these agreements, residual proceeds received in excess of specific amounts will be shared with these third parties based on specific formulas. The obligation related to these agreements is recorded at fair value.

In connection with certain investments, we are required to maintain restricted cash accounts with certain banks.  The aforementioned cash amounts are presented within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There are no material changes to the disclosures related to this item since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as well as the financial statements for our Manager, our Manager carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of our Manager, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Principal Accounting and Financial Officer concluded that our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
In designing and evaluating our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures, our Manager recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Our Manager’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.  
 
Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we may be subject to certain claims, suits and complaints filed against us.  In our Manager’s opinion, the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.  We are not aware of any material legal proceedings that are currently pending against us or against any of our assets.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
