The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in prior periods to conform to the current presentation.

Credit Quality of Net Investment in Notes Receivable, Mortgage Note Receivable and Direct Finance Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Manager weighs all credit decisions based on a combination of external credit ratings as well as internal credit evaluations of all borrowers.  A borrower’s credit is analyzed using those credit ratings as well as the borrower’s financial statements and other financial data deemed relevant. 

As the LLC’s net investment in notes receivable, mortgage note receivable and direct finance leases (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) are limited in number, the LLC is able to estimate the allowance for credit losses based on a detailed analysis of each Note as opposed to using portfolio based metrics and allowance for credit losses. Notes are analyzed quarterly and categorized as either performing or non-performing 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 whether the Note should be restructured. Material events would be specifically disclosed in the discussion of each Note held.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Manager determined that no allowance for credit losses was required.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends its guidance related to fair value measurements in order to align the definition of fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance also changes certain existing fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 became effective for the LLC on January 1, 2012. The adoption of these additional disclosures did not have a material impact on the LLC’s consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - continued
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the 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 became effective for the LLC on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the LLC’s consolidated financial statements, as it only required a change in the format of presentation.

Revolving Line of Credit, Recourse

On May 10, 2011, the LLC entered into an agreement with California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) for a revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000 (the “Facility”), which is secured by all of the LLC’s assets not subject to a first priority lien. 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.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the LLC borrowed and repaid $5,000,000. As of June 30, 2012, the LLC had $5,000,000 available under the Facility pursuant to the borrowing base.

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 all interest rates on advances under the Facility are subject to an interest rate floor of 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, 2012, there were no obligations outstanding under the Facility.

At June 30, 2012, the LLC was in compliance with all covenants related to the Facility.

(8)
Foreign Income Taxes

Certain of the LLC’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries are unlimited liability companies and are taxed as corporations under the laws of Canada.  Other indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries are taxed as corporations in Barbados. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the provision for income taxes was comprised of $161,157 and $322,313 in current taxes and a benefit of $106,309 and $205,117 in deferred taxes, respectively. The LLC’s Canadian subsidiaries, under the laws of Canada, are subject to income tax examination for the 2007 through 2011 periods. The LLC had not identified any material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012, the LLC had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $1,145,000 relating to (i) net operating losses that are currently expected to expire starting in 2027 through 2028 and (ii) a net unrealized capital loss on foreign currency for a note receivable.  The deferred tax asset relating to the net operating losses has a full valuation allowance.  The remaining components of the deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

(10) 
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 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.  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 measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of such instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless certain criteria 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 long-term debt. The LLC’s strategy to accomplish these objectives 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-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Designated Derivatives

The LLC had one floating-to-fixed interest rate swap that was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, which expired on April 11, 2012.

Derivative Financial Instruments – continued

For this derivative, the LLC recorded the gain or loss from the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedge in AOCI and such gain or loss was subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affected earnings and within the same line item on the statements of operations and comprehensive income as the impact of the hedged transaction. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the LLC recorded $28,517 and $75,922 of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings, respectively, which is included in gain on derivative financial instruments.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the LLC recorded $133,420 and $290,561 of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings, respectively, which is included in gain on derivative financial instruments.

The LLC did not have any non-designated hedging instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.  The LLC’s derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments generated a loss on derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 of approximately $4,000 and $6,000, 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 only with banks of internationally acknowledged standing, the LLC considers the counterparty risk to be remote.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in a liability position was $0 and $176,956, respectively.

(11)
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

AOCI includes accumulated unrealized losses on a derivative financial instrument and accumulated unrealized losses on a currency translation adjustment of $0 and $618,062, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and accumulated unrealized losses on a derivative financial instrument and accumulated unrealized losses on a currency translation adjustment of $144,331 and $511,810, respectively, at December 31, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are 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.

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 LLC had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012. The valuation of the LLC’s material financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 was a derivative financial instrument classified as Level 2 in the amount of $176,956. The LLC’s derivative financial instrument as of December 31, 2011 included an interest rate swap that was valued using models based on direct or indirect observable market inputs for all substantial terms of the LLC’s derivative contract and therefore was classified within Level 2. As permitted by the accounting pronouncements, the LLC uses market prices and pricing models for fair value measurements of its derivative financial instrument.  The fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded in derivative financial instrument 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, of which the fair value information presented is not current but rather as of the date the impairment was taken, and the carrying value of the asset at June 30, 2012:

Vessel - Senang Spirit
  $ -     $ -     $ 6,885,829     $ -     $ 697,715  
 
The LLC’s non-financial asset, the Senang Spirit, was valued using the agreed upon sales price. The sales price was a quoted price in an inactive market which was directly observable as of the reporting date and therefore classified as Level 2.

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, and the recorded value of recourse debt approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and variable interest rates. The estimated fair value of the LLC’s net investment in mortgage note receivable and fixed rate notes receivable was based on the discounted value of future cash flows related to the loans based on recent transactions of this type.  Principal outstanding on the mortgage note receivable was discounted at the rate of 20.63% per year. Principal outstanding on the fixed rate notes receivable was discounted at rates ranging between 15% and 17% per year.

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 of the LLC that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the LLC taken as a whole.

From November 2010 through March 2011, the LLC, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, sold four container vessels previously on bareboat charter to ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Ltd. (“ZIM”) to unaffiliated third parties.  During June 2011, the LLC received notices from ZIM claiming it was allegedly owed various amounts for unpaid seller’s credits in the aggregate amount of approximately $7,300,000.  The Manager believes any obligation to repay the seller’s credits was extinguished when ZIM defaulted by failing to fulfill certain of its obligations under the bareboat charters. On August 8, 2011, the Manager agreed to a three party arbitration panel to hear such claims.  On April 19, 2012, ZIM filed arbitration claim submissions. On April 23, 2012, the Manager filed a defense and counterclaim. The Manager believes that ZIM’s claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously contest these claims.  At this time, the LLC is unable to predict the outcome of the arbitration or loss therefrom, if any.
 
On June 20, 2011, ICON EAR, LLC (“ICON EAR”) filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County, Ohio, against the auditors of Equipment Acquisition Resources, Inc. (“EAR”) alleging malpractice and negligent misrepresentation.  On May 3, 2012, the case was settled in ICON EAR’s favor for $590,000, of which the LLC’s portion was approximately $360,000.
 
On October 21, 2011, the Chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee for EAR filed an adversary complaint against ICON EAR seeking the recovery of the lease payments that the trustee alleges were fraudulently transferred from EAR to ICON EAR.  The complaint also sought the recovery of payments made by EAR to ICON EAR during the 90-day period preceding EAR’s bankruptcy filing, alleging that those payments constituted a preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Additionally, the complaint sought the imposition of a constructive trust over certain real property and the proceeds from the sale that ICON EAR received as security in connection with its investment.  The Manager filed an answer to the complaint which includes certain affirmative defenses. The Manager believes these claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously defend this action.  At this time, the LLC is unable to predict the outcome of this action or loss therefrom, if any.

Subsequent to the filing of the bankruptcy petition, EAR disclaimed any right to its equipment and such equipment became the subject of an Illinois State Court proceeding. The equipment was subsequently sold as part of the Illinois State Court proceeding. On March 7, 2012, one of the creditors in the Illinois State Court proceeding won a summary judgment motion filed against ICON EAR that granted dismissal of ICON EAR’s claims to the proceeds resulting from the sale of certain EAR equipment. ICON EAR is appealing this decision. At this time, the LLC is unable to predict the outcome of this action.

Overview
 
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. We primarily acquire equipment subject to lease, purchase equipment and lease it to third parties, provide equipment and other financing and, to a lesser degree, acquire ownership rights to items of leased equipment at lease expiration.

We are currently in our operating period. During our operating period, additional investments will continue to be made with the cash generated from our investments to the extent that the cash is not used for expenses, reserves and distributions to members. The investment in additional equipment leases and other financing transactions in this manner is called “reinvestment.”  We anticipate investing in equipment leases and other financing transactions from time to time until April 2015.  The operating period has been extended for three years, with the intention of having a very limited liquidation period thereafter, if any.

Recent Significant Transactions

We engaged in the following significant transactions since December 31, 2011:

Revenue and other income for the 2012 Quarter and the 2011 Quarter is summarized as follows:

 Total revenue and other income
  $ 4,807,005     $ 6,129,636     $ (1,322,631 )
                         
Total revenue and other income for the 2012 Quarter decreased $1,322,631, or 21.6%, as compared to the 2011 Quarter. The decrease in total revenue and other income was primarily due to the impact of the sale of the two marine product tankers, the Senang Spirit and the Seborak Spirit, during the 2012 Quarter and during the fourth quarter of 2011, respectively, which resulted in a significant decrease in rental income.  This decrease was partially offset by a gain on the extinguishment of debt upon the sale of the Senang Spirit.

Expenses for the 2012 Quarter and the 2011 Quarter are summarized as follows:

  $ 2,198,153     $ 3,900,949     $ (1,702,796 )
 
                       
 
 
 
Total expenses for the 2012 Quarter decreased $1,702,796, or 43.7%, as compared to the 2011 Quarter. The decrease in total expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense and interest expense, both of which were a result of the sale of the Senang Spirit during the 2012 Quarter and the Seborak Spirit during 2011. The decrease in total expenses was partially offset by an increase in the vessel operating expense recorded as a result of our operation of the Senang Spirit during the 2012 Quarter.

      Provision for Income Taxes

Certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries are unlimited liability companies and are taxed as corporations under the laws of Canada.

Net Income Attributable to Fund Eleven

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to us for the 2012 Quarter and the 2011 Quarter was $2,409,549 and $1,920,886, respectively. Net income attributable to us per weighted average additional share of limited liability company interests (“Share”) outstanding for the 2012 Quarter and the 2011 Quarter was $6.58 and $5.24, respectively.

Total revenue and other income for the 2012 Period decreased $15,603,573, or 64.2%, as compared to the 2011 Period. The decrease in total revenue and other income was primarily due to the decrease in net gain on sales of leased equipment related to the sale of the ICON European Container II KS vessels during the 2011 Period, as well as decreases in rental income as a result of the sale of the Senang Spirit during the 2012 Period and the Seborak Spirit during 2011.  The decrease in total revenue and other income was partially offset by the gain on extinguishment of debt related to the Senang Spirit during the 2012 Period.

Total expenses for the 2012 Period decreased $2,002,855, or 26.0%, as compared to the 2011 Period. The decrease in total expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense and interest expense, both as a result of the sale of the Senang Spirit and the Seborak Spirit during the 2012 Period and during 2011, respectively.  The decrease in total expenses was partially offset by an increase in vessel operating expense and an impairment charge related to the Senang Spirit during the 2012 Period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,289,815 and $6,824,356, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our main sources of cash have been from (i) collection of finance leases, (ii) proceeds from sales of leased equipment and (iii) principal repayment on notes receivable and our main uses of cash have been from (i) repayment of long-term debt and (ii) distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests. 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, pay distributions to our members and to the extent that expenses exceed cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the 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 under our revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2012, we had $5,000,000 available under the Facility pursuant to the borrowing base, available to fund our short-term liquidity needs. For additional information, see Note 7 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 operations, 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, 2012, the cash reserve was $1,825,993.

Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $1,214,659, from $4,727,242 in the 2011 Period to $3,512,583 in the 2012 Period. Net cash provided by operating activities during the 2012 Period decreased primarily as a result of the collection of less finance lease payments due to the sale of assets related to ICON European Container I KS, ICON European Container II KS, ICON Global Crossing III and ICON Global Crossing V.

Investing Activities
 
Cash provided by investing activities decreased $18,218,248, from $26,771,595 in the 2011 Period to $8,553,347 in the 2012 Period. This decrease was primarily due to the significant decrease in proceeds we received from sales of leased equipment in the 2012 Period as compared to the 2011 Period.




Financing Activities
 
Cash used in financing activities decreased $12,411,833, from $27,012,228 in the 2011 Period to $14,600,395 in the 2012 Period. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in principal repayments of our long-term debt and cash distributions to our members.

Financings and Borrowings

Long-Term Debt

On May 3, 2012, in connection with the sale of the Senang Spirit, we used the proceeds from the sale to settle the outstanding debt balance of approximately $9,400,000 at an agreed upon amount of approximately $7,347,000. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,053,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Distributions

We, at our Manager’s discretion, paid monthly distributions to our members and noncontrolling interests starting with the first month after each member’s admission and the commencement of our joint venture operations. We paid distributions to our Manager, additional members and noncontrolling interests of $61,054, $6,044,264 and $669,147, respectively, for the 2012 Period.  We do not expect to make any distributions during our extended operating period until toward the end of such period.

At the time we acquire or divest of our interest in an equipment lease or other financing transaction, we may, under very limited circumstances, agree to indemnify the seller or buyer for specific contingent liabilities.  Our Manager believes that any liability of ours that may arise as a result of any such indemnification obligations will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

From November 2010 through March 2011, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, sold four container vessels previously on bareboat charter to ZIM to unaffiliated third parties. During June 2011, we received notices from ZIM claiming it was allegedly owed various amounts for unpaid seller’s credits in the aggregate amount of approximately $7,300,000. Our Manager believes any obligation to repay the seller’s credits was extinguished when ZIM defaulted by failing to fulfill certain of its obligations under the bareboat charters. On August 8, 2011, our Manager agreed to a three party arbitration panel to hear such claims. On April 19, 2012, ZIM filed arbitration claim submissions. On April 23, 2012, the Manager filed a defense and counterclaim.Our Manager believes that ZIM’s claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously contest these claims. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of the arbitration or loss therefrom, if any.
 
On June 20, 2011, ICON EAR filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County, Ohio, against the auditors of EAR alleging malpractice and negligent misrepresentation.  On May 3, 2012, the case was settled in ICON EAR’s favor for $590,000, of which our portion was approximately $360,000.
 
On October 21, 2011, the Chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee for EAR filed an adversary complaint against ICON EAR seeking the recovery of the lease payments that the trustee alleges were fraudulently transferred from EAR to ICON EAR. The complaint also sought the recovery of payments made by EAR to ICON EAR during the 90-day period preceding EAR’s bankruptcy filing, alleging that those payments constituted a preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, the complaint sought the imposition of a constructive trust over certain real property and the proceeds from the sale that ICON EAR received as security in connection with its investment. Our Manager believes these claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously defend this action. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action or loss therefrom, if any.

Subsequent to the filing of the bankruptcy petition, EAR disclaimed any right to its equipment and such equipment became the subject of an Illinois State Court proceeding. The equipment was subsequently sold as part of the Illinois State Court proceeding. On March 7, 2012, one of the creditors in the Illinois State Court proceeding won a summary judgment motion filed against ICON EAR that granted dismissal of ICON EAR’s claims to the proceeds resulting from the sale of certain EAR equipment. ICON EAR is appealing this decision. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action.

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, 2012, 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 Financial and Accounting 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 Financial and Accounting 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, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
 
 


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.


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, 2011.


We did not sell or repurchase any Shares during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
