ATEL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND X, LLC
  
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of California on August 12, 2002 for the purpose of engaging in the sale of limited liability company investment units and acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities, primarily in the United States. The Managing Member or Manager of the Company is ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), a California limited liability company. The Company may continue until December 31, 2022.

The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (“Units”), at a price of $10 per Unit. On April 9, 2003, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units (120,000, representing $1.2 million) had been received (excluding subscriptions from Pennsylvania investors) and AFS requested that the subscriptions be released to the Company. On that date, the Company commenced operations in its primary business. As of March 11, 2005, the offering was terminated. As of that date, subscriptions for 14,059,136 Units ($140.6 million) had been received, of which 87,650 Units ($720 thousand) were subsequently rescinded or repurchased (net of distributions paid and allocated syndication costs, as applicable) by the Company through June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, 13,971,486 Units remain 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 on December 31, 2011 and (iii) provides additional distributions following the Reinvestment Period and until all equipment has been sold. The Company is governed by the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), as amended.

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

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Managing Member, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

During the first quarter 2011, the Company identified a misclassification in the presentation of amortization of unearned income on both direct financing leases and notes receivable on the 2010 statements of cash flows. An adjustment made to reflect proper classification results in a $1.1 million increase in net cash from operating activities and a corresponding decrease in net cash from investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company incorrectly reported these interest income activities as an increase in the payments received on both direct financing leases and notes receivable. The appropriate classification of the receipt of interest income on direct financing leases and notes receivable is to record the $1.1 million as an inflow in the operating activities section of the statement of

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)

cash flows. Such adjustment totaled $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The classification adjustment does not change the Company’s financial position, net income or the net reported change in cash for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, nor does it affect the cash balance previously reported on the balance sheet.

The Company does not believe that this classification adjustment is material to cash flows for its previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the Company will revise its 2010 statements of cash flows prospectively in the 2011 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

In preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Managing Member has reviewed events that have occurred after June 30, 2011, up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements, and adjustments thereto.

Use of estimates:

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

Segment reporting:

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment in the United States.

The primary geographic regions in which the Company seeks leasing opportunities are North America and Europe. The table below summarizes geographic information relating to the sources, by nation, of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and long-lived tangible assets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (dollars 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, 2011, the Company deemed certain investment securities to be impaired and recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $96 thousand which reduced the cost basis of the investments. No additional impairment was recorded at June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $15 thousand to reduce the cost basis of an impaired investment security. Such impaired investment was subsequently disposed of in January 2011.

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 at the end of the period, as determined by the Managing Member. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $17 thousand relative to the net exercise of warrants associated with shares of a venture company. Such gain represents total net gain recognized on warrants during the current year quarter. By comparison, net gain recognized on warrants totaled $14 thousand during the second quarter of 2010. The total net year-to-date gain on warrants approximated $19 thousand and $13 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (collectively the “Boards”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 created a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world and

clarified existing guidance in US GAAP. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the first reporting annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and shall be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a borrower and a creditor’s evaluation of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. In addition, an entity should disclose the information required by Accounting Standards Codification paragraphs 310-10-50-33 through 50-34, which was deferred by ASU 2011-01, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company anticipates that adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. The guidance will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

3. Notes receivable, net:

The Company has various notes receivable from borrowers who have financed the purchase of equipment through the Company. The terms of the notes receivable are 17 to 120 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 8.42% to 11.97%. The notes are secured by the equipment financed. The notes mature from 2011 through 2016.

As of December 31, 2010, a note receivable with a net book value approximating $28 thousand was on non-accrual status and was considered impaired relative to its payment terms. Such note was modified to defer the repayment of principal until April 2012 while maintaining interest-only payments at the original rate of 11.78%. As of June 30, 2011, the aforementioned note continues in non-accrual status and reflects a total principal balance outstanding of $26 thousand. However, as of the same date, such note was current with respect to its restructured terms. Management has determined that no valuation adjustment is necessary as of the same dates and is vigilant in taking appropriate steps to ensure collection of the outstanding non-accrual balances.

As of June 30, 2011, the minimum future payments receivable are as follows (in thousands):

 
Six months ending December 31, 2011   $     263  
Year ending December 31, 2012     520

Accounts Receivable

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

Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based upon their aging and historical charge off and collection experience and the creditworthiness of specifically identified lessees and borrowers, and invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are generally charged off against the allowance on a specific identification basis. Recoveries of amounts that were previously written-off are recorded as other income in the period received.

Accounts receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status (i.e., no revenue is recognized) when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with lease or note payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, such leases or notes may be placed in non-accrual status. Leases or notes placed on non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and management believes recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. Until such time, all payments received are applied only against outstanding principal balances.

Financing Receivables

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

Notes are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest when due. If it is determined that a loan is impaired with regard to scheduled payments, the Company will perform an analysis of the note to determine if an

impairment valuation reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the note, or the collateral value of the property underlying the note when note repayment is collateral dependent. Any required valuation reserve is charged to earnings when determined; and notes are charged off to the allowance as they are deemed uncollectible.

The asset underlying a direct financing lease contract is considered impaired if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than its net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the asset’s expected holding period and estimates of undiscounted future rents. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset is utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the market place are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowance for credit losses (related solely to financing receivables) and its recorded net investment in financing receivables were as follows (in thousands):

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

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

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

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

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

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s financing receivables by credit quality indicator and by class of financing receivables are as follows (excludes initial direct costs) (in thousands):

The Company did not carry an impairment reserve on its financing receivables at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As discussed in Note 3, there was a note in non-accrual status as of both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Such note was considered impaired relative to its payment terms; however, as of the same dates, the note was current with respect to its restructured terms.

At June 30, 2011, certain net investments in financing receivables with related accounts receivable past due more than 90 days are still on an accrual basis based on management’s assessment of the collectability of such receivables. However, these accounts receivable are fully reserved and included in the allowance for doubtful accounts presented above. At December 31, 2010, there were no accounts receivable related to net investments in financing receivables placed in non-accrual status.

Additions to net investment in operating leases are stated at cost. IDC amortization expense related to operating leases and direct financing leases totaled $50 thousand and $91 thousand for the respective three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and $116 thousand and $190 thousand for the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (See Note 3).

Impairment of investments in leases and assets held for sale or lease:

Management periodically reviews the carrying values of its assets on leases and assets held for lease or sale. Impairment losses are recorded as an adjustment to the net investment in operating leases. The Company had no impairment losses during the second quarter of 2011. However, during the first quarter of 2011, the Company deemed certain operating off-lease equipment to be impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded fair value adjustments totaling $100 thousand which reduced the cost basis of the equipment. By comparison, during the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded fair value adjustments totaling $282 thousand which reduced the cost basis of certain operating lease and off-lease equipment (assets) deemed to be impaired. There was no impairment losses recorded during the first quarter of 2010.

The Company utilizes a straight line depreciation method for equipment in all of the categories currently in its portfolio of operating lease transactions. Depreciation expense on the Company’s equipment was approximately $3.3 million and $4.6 million for the respective three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and was approximately $6.8 million and $9.6 million for the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

All of the leased property was acquired in the years beginning with 2003 through June 30, 2011.

5. Investment in equipment and leases, net: - (continued)

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 old 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 the old, bankrupt Chrysler assumed by the new Chrysler, Chrysler Group, LLC, which is 46% owned by Fiat. The new Chrysler has remitted payments relative to the affirmed leases. At April 1, 2011, Chrysler accounts were returned to accrual status.

As of June 30, 2011, there were no lease contracts placed in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2010, net investment in equipment underlying all lease contracts placed on a cash basis approximated $639 thousand, all of which were related to Chrysler. The Company also considered the equipment underlying the lease contracts for impairment and believes that such equipment is not impaired as of December 31, 2010. The Company has certain other leases that have related accounts receivables aged 90 days or more that have not been placed on non-accrual status. In accordance with Company policy, such receivables are fully reserved. Management continues to closely monitor these leases, and all other lease contracts, for any actual change in collectability status and indication of necessary valuation adjustments.

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. The Company would be liable for certain future costs to be incurred by AFS to manage the administrative services provided to the Company.

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; investor relations, communications services and general administrative services for the Company 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 managed assets, number of investors or contributed capital based upon the type of cost incurred. The Operating Agreement places an annual limit and a cumulative limit for cost reimbursements to AFS and/or affiliates. Any reimbursable costs incurred by AFS and/or affiliates during the year exceeding the annual and/or cumulative limits cannot be reimbursed in the current year, though such costs may be recovered in future years to the extent of the cumulative limit. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has not exceeded the annual and/or cumulative limitations discussed above.

6. Related party transactions: - (continued)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, AFS and/or affiliates earned fees and commissions, and billed for reimbursements, pursuant to the Operating Agreement as follows (in thousands):

       
  Three Months Ended

     2011   2010   2011   2010
Costs reimbursed to Managing Member and/or affiliates   $        363     $        298     $        733     $         620  
Asset management fees to Managing Member and/or affiliates     279       305       481       608

     $ 745     $ 620     $ 1,422     $ 1,280  

During December 2009, operating lease assets were purchased and a lease agreement entered into by the Company with an original cost of $1.0 million. During the same month, the assets and associated lease were transferred to an affiliate of the Company resulting in an amount due from an affiliate equivalent to the original cost of the assets. The amount due from the affiliate was settled in January 2010.

7. Non-recourse debt:

At June 30, 2011, non-recourse debt consists of notes payable to financial institutions. The notes are due in monthly installments. Interest on the notes is at fixed rates ranging from 4.19% to 6.66%. The notes are secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At June 30, 2011, gross operating lease rentals and future payments on direct financing leases totaled approximately $28.0 million over the remaining lease terms; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is $19.2 million. The notes mature at various dates from 2011 through 2017.

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

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

     
  Principal   Interest   Total
Six months ending December 31, 2011   $       2,383     $         745     $        3,128  
Year ending December 31, 2012     4,931       1,264       6,195

8. 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 and expires in June 2012. 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.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, borrowings under the facility were as follows (in thousands):

   
  June 30,
2011
  December 31,
2010
Total amount available under the financing arrangement   $    75,000     $    75,000  
Amount borrowed by the Company under the acquisition facility            
Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the working capital, acquisition and warehouse facilities           (5,345 ) 
Total remaining available under the working capital, acquisition and warehouse facilities   $ 75,000     $ 69,655  

The Company and its affiliates pay an annual commitment fee to have access to this line of credit. As of June 30, 2011, 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 June 30, 2011, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $15.0 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 $35.2 million, 1.00 to 1, and 9.50 to 1, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. As such, as of June 30, 2011, the Company was 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. At both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the acquisition facility.

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, 2011, the investment program participants were the Company, ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC, ATEL 12, LLC and ATEL 14, 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.

There were no borrowings under the Warehouse Facility as of June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, borrowings of $4.8 million were outstanding under the Warehouse Facility. The Company’s maximum contingent obligation on the outstanding warehouse balance at December 31, 2010 was approximately $2.6 million.

9. Receivables funding program:

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had amounts outstanding under an $80 million receivables funding program (the “RF Program”) with a receivables financing company that issued commercial paper rated A1 from Standard and Poor’s and P1 from Moody’s Investors Service. Under the RF Program, the lender holds liens against the Company’s assets. The lender is in a first position against certain specified assets and in either a subordinated or shared position against the remaining assets. The RF Program does not contain any credit risk related default contingencies and is scheduled to mature in July 2014 at which time advances under the RF Program are to be repaid in full.

The RF Program provides for borrowing at a variable interest rate and requires the Company to enter into interest rate swap agreements with certain hedge counterparties (also rated A1/P1) to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with a variable interest rate note. The RF Program allows the Company to have a more cost effective means of obtaining debt financing than available for individual non-recourse debt transactions.

The Company had approximately $10.7 million and $14.5 million outstanding under the RF Program at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid program fees, as defined in the receivables funding agreement, totaling $12 thousand and $22 thousand, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid program fees, as defined in the receivables funding agreement, totaling $26 thousand and $46 thousand, respectively. The RF Program fees are included in interest expense in the Company’s statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to receive or pay interest on a notional principal of $10.7 million based on the difference between nominal rates ranging from 3.21% to 5.39% and variable rates that ranged from 0.19% to 0.26%. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to receive or pay interest on a notional principal of $14.5 million based on the difference between nominal rates ranging from 3.21% to 5.39% and variable rates that ranged from 0.23% to 0.35%. No actual borrowing or lending is involved. The termination of the swaps coincides with the maturity of the debt. Through the swap agreements, the interest rates have been effectively fixed. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized currently as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt. The interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments and are carried at fair value on the balance sheet with unrealized gain/loss included in the statements of income in other income/(expense).

9. Receivables funding program: - (continued)

In conjunction with the RF Program, the lender under the RF Program has entered into an inter-creditor agreement with the lenders under the Credit Facility with the respect to priority and the sharing of collateral pools of the Company, including the Acquisition Facility and Warehouse Facility described in Note 8 above.

Among the provisions of the inter-creditor agreement are cross-default provisions and acceleration provisions requiring payment before stated maturity in a default situation.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, borrowings and interest rate swap agreements under the RF Program are as follows (in thousands):

10. Commitments:

At June 30, 2011, there were commitments to fund investments in notes receivable totaling approximately $1.0 million. This amount represents contract awards which may be cancelled by the prospective lessee or may not be accepted by the Company.

11. 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.

12. Members’ capital:

Units issued and outstanding were 13,971,486 at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company was authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 Units in addition to the Units issued to the initial members (50 Units). The Company ceased offering Units on March 11, 2005.

The Company has the right, exercisable in the Manager’s discretion, but not the obligation, to repurchase Units of a Unitholder 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 Unitholder 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.

As defined in the Operating Agreement, the Company’s net income, net losses, and distributions, are to be allocated 92.5% to the Other Members and 7.5% to AFS. In accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, additional allocations of income were made to AFS during the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The amounts allocated were determined to bring AFS’s ending capital account balance to zero at the end of the period.

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

13. Fair value measurements:

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

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

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

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

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, only the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts was measured on a recurring basis. However, at December 31, 2010, the Company measured the fair value of impaired operating lease and/or off-lease equipment as well as impaired investment securities on a non-recurring basis. The measurement methodology is as follows:

Interest rate swaps

The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a valuation method (discounted cash flow) with inputs that are defined or that can be corroborated by observable market data. The discounted cash flow approach utilizes each swap’s notional amount, payment and termination dates, swap coupon, and the prevailing market rate and pricing data to determine the present value of the future swap payments. Accordingly, such swap contracts are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired lease and/or off-lease equipment

No equipment was deemed impaired at June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Company deemed certain off-lease equipment to be impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded fair value adjustments totaling $282 thousand which reduced the cost basis of the assets. Such fair value adjustments are non-recurring. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of impaired lease assets are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy as the data sources utilized for the valuation of such assets reflect significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. Such valuation utilizes a market approach technique and uses inputs that reflect the sales price of similar assets sold by affiliates and/or information from third party remarketing agents not readily available in the market.

Impaired investment securities

The Company’s investment securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at cost. The investment securities are adjusted for impairment, if any, based upon factors which include, but are not limited to, available financial information, the issuer’s ability to meet its current obligations and indications of the issuer’s subsequent ability to raise capital. No investment securities were deemed impaired at June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the fair value adjustment relative to an impaired investment security approximated $15 thousand. Such fair value adjustment was non-recurring. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of the impaired investment security was classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy as the security is actively traded on the Canadian national exchange. Accordingly, there is sufficient trading frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The impaired security was disposed of in January 2011.

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

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts by using market information and valuation methodologies that it considers appropriate and consistent with the fair value accounting guidance. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. 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.

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 fair value of the Company’s notes receivable is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon current market rates for similar types of lending arrangements, with adjustments for non-accrual loans as deemed necessary.

Investment in securities

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

Non-recourse debt

The fair value of the Company’s non-recourse debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

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

Overview

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the “Company”) is a California limited liability company that was formed in August 2002 for the purpose of engaging in the sale of limited liability company investment units and acquiring equipment to generate revenues from equipment leasing and sales activities, primarily in the United States. The Managing Member of the Company is ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”), a California limited liability company.

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 March 2005. During 2005, 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 utilized its credit facilities and reinvested cash flow in excess of certain amounts required to be distributed to the Other Members to acquire additional equipment. Throughout the Reinvestment Period, which ends December 31, 2011, the Company anticipates continued reinvestment of cash flow in excess of minimum distributions and other obligations.

The Company may continue until December 31, 2022. Periodic distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Managing Member.

Results of Operations

The three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010

The Company had net income of $1.3 million and $868 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The results for the second quarter of 2011 reflect the combination of a reduction in total operating expenses and a decrease in total revenues when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 declined by $1.2 million, or 16%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating lease revenues and other revenue offset, in part, by increases in gain on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes, and direct financing lease revenues.

Operating lease revenues decreased by $1.6 million primarily as a result of continued run-off and dispositions of lease assets; and, other revenue declined by $51 thousand mainly due to a decline in additional billings for excess wear and tear on returned equipment.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned decreases in revenues was a $405 thousand increase in gains recognized on sales of lease assets and a $56 thousand increase in direct financing lease revenues. The increase in gains recognized on sales of lease assets reflects a higher volume and the change in mix of assets sold during the current year period; and, direct financing lease revenues increased as certain previously terminated operating lease assets were re-leased as direct financing leases subsequent to June 30, 2010.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expenses

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $1.7 million, or 25%, as compared to the prior year period. The net decline in expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, impairment losses on equipment, interest expense and professional fees offset, in part, by increases in other expense, acquisition expense and costs reimbursed to AFS.

The decrease in depreciation expense totaled $1.3 million and was largely a result of run-off and sales of lease assets. Impairment losses on equipment declined by $282 thousand as the 2010 amount included fair value adjustments that reduced the value of both on- and off-lease equipment deemed impaired by the Company. By comparison, there was no fair value adjustments recorded during the second quarter of 2011.

Moreover, interest expense decreased by $201 thousand largely due to an approximate $14.0 million decline in outstanding borrowings since June 30, 2010; and, professional fees declined by $57 thousand due to a period over period reduction in audit related fees.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned decreases in expenses was a $165 thousand increase in other expense, an $84 thousand increase in acquisition expense, and a $65 thousand increase in costs reimbursed to AFS. Other expense increased largely due to higher maintenance costs on aging railcars and increases in freight and shipping costs, bank charges and inspection fees. Acquisition expense increased as a result of the period over period increase in lease asset purchases; and, costs reimbursed to AFS increased primarily due to a refinement of allocation methodologies employed by the Managing Member to better allocate costs to the Company based upon its current operations.

Other income, net

Other income, net for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $26 thousand as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in other income, net was a result of an $18 thousand unfavorable change in foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized during the second quarter of 2011, combined with an $8 thousand unfavorable change in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts as compared to the prior year period.

The unfavorable change in foreign currency gains or losses was primarily due to the period over period strength of the U.S. currency against the British pound at the time of the transactions. The Company’s foreign currency transactions are primarily denominated in British pounds.

The decrease in the value of the interest rate swaps was mostly driven by the lower interest rate environment during the current year quarter offset, in part, by a decline in the notional balance of outstanding contracts since June 30, 2010. The lower interest rate environment adversely impacts the Company as the fixed rate payer in the swap contracts.

The six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended June 30, 2010

The Company had net income of $1.9 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The results for the first half of 2011 reflect a reduction in total operating expenses and a decrease in total revenues when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues

Total revenues for the first half of 2011 declined by $2.3 million, or 16%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating lease revenues and other revenue offset, in part, by increases in gain on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes, and direct financing lease revenues.

Operating lease revenues decreased by $3.0 million largely due to continued run-off and dispositions of lease assets; and, other revenue declined by $53 thousand primarily as result of a reduction in additional billings for excess wear and tear on returned equipment.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned decreases in revenues was a $665 thousand increase in gains recognized on sales of lease assets and a $154 thousand increase in direct financing lease revenues. The increase in gains recognized on sales of lease assets reflects a higher volume and the change in mix of assets sold during the current year period; and, direct financing lease revenues increased as certain previously terminated operating lease assets were re-leased as direct financing leases subsequent to June 30, 2010.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expenses

Total expenses for the first half of 2011 decreased by $3.2 million, or 24%, as compared to the prior year period. The net decline in expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, interest expense, impairment losses on equipment, asset management fees paid to AFS and professional fees offset, in part, by increases in other expense, acquisition expense, costs reimbursed to AFS and the provision for losses on investment in securities.

The decrease in depreciation expense totaled $2.8 million and was largely a result of run-off and sales of lease assets. Interest expense decreased by $422 thousand largely due to an approximate $14.0 million decline in outstanding borrowings since June 30, 2010; and, impairment losses on equipment declined by $182 thousand as the equipment carrying values at June 30, 2011 were more in line with the market. Moreover, asset management fees paid to AFS decreased by $127 thousand primarily as a result of the decline in managed assets and related rents; and, professional fees was lower by $105 thousand largely due to a period over period decrease in audit related fees.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned decreases in expenses was a $219 thousand increase in other expense, a $153 thousand increase in acquisition expense, a $113 thousand increase in costs reimbursed to AFS and a $96 thousand increase in the provision for losses on investment in securities.

The increase in other expense was largely due to higher maintenance costs on aging railcars and increases in freight and shipping costs, bank charges, inspection fees, and in printing and postage costs related to investor communications. The increase in acquisition expense was mainly a result of the period over period increase in lease asset purchases. Costs reimbursed to AFS increased primarily due to a refinement of allocation methodologies employed by the Managing Member to better allocate costs to the Company based upon its current operations.

Moreover, the provision for losses on investment securities increased as a result of fair value adjustments recorded on two impaired equity investments totaling $55 thousand and $41 thousand. By comparison, there were no impaired investment securities during the prior year period. The adjustments reflect an approximate 87% reduction in valuation of one impaired investment as determined by investee cash burn and potential for additional venture investors, and an approximate 66% reduction in valuation of the second impaired investment as determined by cash payments received in a private transaction whereby the Fund liquidated its warrant position.

Other income, net

Other income, net for the first half of 2011 decreased by $248 thousand as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in other income, net was a result of a $265 thousand unfavorable change in foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized during the first half of 2011 offset, in part, by a $17 thousand favorable change in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts as compared to the prior year period.

The unfavorable change in foreign currency gains or losses was primarily due to the period over period strength of the U.S. currency against the British pound at the time of the transactions. The Company’s foreign currency transactions are primarily denominated in British pounds.

The increase in the value of the interest rate swaps was mostly driven by the higher interest rate environment during the first six months of 2011 which favorably impacts the Company as the fixed rate payer in the swap contracts.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. 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 Other 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.

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 would not increase; as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation. In addition, if interest rates increase

27


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

significantly under such circumstances, the lease rates that the Company can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

The Company currently believes it 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.

The three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $708 thousand as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in cash flow was mainly attributable to the period over period reduction in depreciation of lease assets (non-cash item added back to net income). This reduction was offset, in part, by increases in the collection of receivables, in prepaid rents received during the quarter, and in accrued liabilities primarily related to vehicle and railcar maintenance costs.

The period over period decline in depreciation expense was primarily a result of the continued sales and dispositions of depreciable assets.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was comparable to the prior year period amount. The $18 thousand net increase in cash flow was mainly attributable to a $1.9 million increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets and a $134 thousand increase in principal payments received on direct financing receivables offset, in part, by a $2.0 million increase in cash used to purchase lease assets.

The increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets was largely due to a significant increase in volume of assets sold during the current year period. The increase in principal payments received on direct financing leases was comprised of two items; first, a greater portion of total monthly payments applied to principal on mid- to late-term direct financing leases and second, the impact of new direct financing leases which commenced subsequent to June 30, 2010.

Cash used to purchase lease assets increased relative to a new operating lease during the second quarter of 2011.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the second quarter of 2011 resulted in a $1.4 million increase in cash flow when compared to the prior year period. The increase was largely attributable to a period over period decline in scheduled repayments of outstanding borrowings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended June 30, 2010

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2011 decreased by $952 thousand as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in cash flow was mainly attributable to the period over period reduction in depreciation of lease assets (non-cash item added back to net income). This reduction was offset, in part, by an increase in the collection of receivables primarily resulting from a higher amount of billings accrued at year-end 2010 than at year-end 2009. Most of such accruals were collected during the first half of 2011. Also contributing to the offset were an increase in prepaid rents received during the current period, and an increase in accrued liabilities primarily related to vehicle and railcar maintenance costs, and franchise taxes.

The reduction in depreciation expense was primarily a result of the continued sales and dispositions of depreciable assets.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities during the first half of 2011 decreased by $143 thousand as compared to the prior year period. The net decrease in cash flow was mainly due to an increase in cash used to purchase lease assets and a decline in principal payments received on notes receivable offset, in part, by increases in proceeds from sales of lease assets and in principal payments received on direct financing leases.

Cash used to purchase lease assets increased by $2.5 million relative to new operating leases which commenced during the first half of 2011; and, principal payments received on notes receivable declined by $181 thousand largely due to run-off of the portfolio.

Partially offsetting the aforementioned decreases in cash flow was a $2.2 million increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets and a $255 thousand increase in principal payments received on direct financing leases. The increase in proceeds from sales of lease assets was largely due to significantly increased volume and the type of assets sold during the current year period. The increase in principal payments received on direct financing leases was comprised of two items; first, a greater portion of total monthly payments applied to principal on mid- to late-term direct financing leases and second, the impact of new direct financing leases which commenced subsequent to June 30, 2010.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the first half of 2011 resulted in a $1.0 million increase in cash flow when compared to the prior year period. The increase was largely attributable to a $2.1 million period over period decline in scheduled repayments of outstanding borrowings offset, in part, by a first quarter 2010 receipt of a $1.0 million settlement related to a December 31, 2009 reassignment of certain operating lease assets to an affiliate.

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.

Receivable funding program

In addition to the Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had amounts outstanding under an $80 million receivables funding program (the “RF Program”) with a receivables financing company that issued commercial paper rated A1 from Standard and Poor’s and P1 from Moody’s Investor Services. Under the RF Program, the lender holds liens against the Company’s assets. The lender is in a first position against certain specified assets and is in either a subordinated or shared position against the remaining assets. The ability to draw down on the RF Program terminated on July 31, 2008, and the RF Program matures in July 2014 upon repayment in full of all outstanding amounts due under the Program.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compliance with covenants

The Credit Facility and the RF Program (collectively, the “Facilities”) include 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 Facilities, such as accuracy of representations, good standing, absence of liens and material litigation, etc. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Facilities as of June 30, 2011. The Company considers certain financial covenants to be material to its ongoing use of the Facilities 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:

Under both the RF Program and Credit Facility:

Minimum Tangible Net Worth: $15 million
Leverage Ratio (leverage to Tangible Net Worth): not to exceed 1.25 to 1

Under the Credit Facility Only:

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

EBITDA to Interest Ratio: Not 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), 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 Facilities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $15 million and under the RF Program was $15 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio under the Facilities was 1.25 to 1, and under the Credit Facility, 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 $35.2 million, 1.00 to 1, and 9.50 to 1, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. As such, as of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such material financial covenants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reconciliation to GAAP of EBITDA

For purposes of compliance with the Credit Facility covenants, the Company uses a financial calculation of EBITDA which is not in accordance with GAAP. The EBITDA is utilized by the Company to calculate one of its debt covenant ratios.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):

 
Net income – GAAP basis   $ 1,894  
Interest expense     1,196  
Depreciation of operating lease assets     6,805  
Amortization of initial direct costs     117  
Impairment losses on equipment     100  
Reversal of provision for credit losses     (17 ) 
Provision for losses on investment in securities     96  
Change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts     (177 ) 
Principal payments received on direct financing leases     1,120  
Principal payments received on notes receivable     229  
EBITDA (for Credit Facility financial covenant calculation only)   $    11,363  
Events of default, cross-defaults, recourse and security

The terms of both of the Facilities 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 either of the Facilities 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 Facilities. 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.

In conjunction with the RF Program, the lender under the RF Program has entered into an inter-creditor agreement with the lenders under the Credit Facility with respect to priority and the sharing of collateral pools of the Company, including under the Acquisition Facility and Warehouse Facility. Among the provisions of the inter-creditor agreement are cross-default provisions among the Credit Facility and the RF Program.

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, and in connection with the RF Program, as noted above. The Facilities are 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 with respect to the Credit Facility, and $2.5 million with respect to the RF Program. Also, a bankruptcy of AFS will trigger a default for the Company under the Credit Facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had non-recourse long-term debt totaling $24.1 million. Such non-recourse notes payable do not contain any material financial covenants. The notes are secured by a lien granted by the Company to the non-recourse lenders on (and only on) the discounted lease transactions. The lenders have recourse only to the following collateral: the specific leased equipment; the related lease chattel paper; the lease receivables; and proceeds of the foregoing items.

The Operating Agreement limits aggregate borrowings to 50% of the total cost of equipment. For detailed information on the Company’s debt obligations, see Notes 7 through 9 in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to the financial statements, Summary of significant accounting policies, as set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, which are based upon historical experiences, market trends and financial forecasts, and upon various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that certain point in time. Actual results may differ, significantly at times, from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2010.

Item 4. 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
