NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:
ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) 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.
As of March 11, 2005, 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for 14,059,136 Units ($140.6 million) had been received, of which 87,650 Units ($720 thousand) were subsequently rescinded or repurchased (net of distributions paid and allocated syndication costs, as applicable) by the Company through June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, 13,971,486 Units remain issued and outstanding.
On January 1, 2012, the Company commenced liquidation phase activities pursuant to the guidelines of the Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, AFS receives compensation and reimbursements for services rendered 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, 2015, 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no significant effect on the reported financial position or results of operations.
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, 2016, up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require additional 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 allowances for doubtful accounts and notes receivable.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)
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 sought leasing opportunities were North America and Europe. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 100% of the Company’s operating revenues and long-lived assets relate to customers domiciled in North America.
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. Based upon the Company’s review of its portfolio, a fair value adjustment of $9 thousand was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2016, to reduce the recorded value of certain securities to fair value. No fair value adjustment was deemed necessary for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no investment securities sold or disposed of during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Warrants
Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are reflected at an estimated fair value on the balance sheet as determined by the Managing Member. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $16 thousand on the fair valuation of its warrant holdings. There were no unrealized gains or losses recorded at December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $13 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively. There were no exercises of warrants, net or otherwise, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Other income, net:
Other income, net consisted solely of net gains on foreign exchange transactions.
Per Unit data:
The Company issues only one class of Units, none of which are considered dilutive. Net income and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members’ Units outstanding during the period.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)
Fair value:
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.
The Company’s valuation policy is determined by members of the Asset Management, Credit and Accounting departments. Whenever possible, the policy is to obtain quoted market prices in active markets to estimate fair values for recognition and disclosure purposes. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, broker quotes, information from third party remarketing agents, third party appraisals of collateral and/or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by certain of the Company’s assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Potential taxes and other transaction costs are not considered in estimating fair values. As the Company is responsible for determining fair value, an analysis is performed on prices obtained from third parties. Such analysis is performed by asset management and credit department personnel who are familiar with the Company’s investments in equipment, notes receivable and equity securities of venture companies. The analysis may include a periodic review of price fluctuations and validation of numbers obtained from a specific third party by reference to multiple representative sources.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the standard and its operational and related disclosure requirements.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases with lease terms greater than 12 months in the statement of financial position. Lessor accounting per ASU 2016-02 is mostly unchanged from the previous lease accounting GAAP. Certain changes were made to the lessor accounting guidance in order to align the
9
ATEL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND X, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)
lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Similar to the previous guidance, lessors will classify leases as operating, direct financing, or sales-type. Lessors in operating leases will continue to recognize the underlying asset and recognize income on a straight-line basis. Lessors determine whether a lease is a sale of the underlying asset based on whether the lessee effectively obtains control of the underlying assets. ASU-2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the standard and its operational and related disclosure requirements.
In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The new standard provides guidance related to accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the standard and its operational and related disclosure requirements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU-2014-15”). The new standard provides guidance relative to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and in August 2015, issued Revenue from Contracts from Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company evaluated the impact of the new standard on its financial statements and has determined that such impact is virtually non-existent as the new revenue guideline does not affect revenues from leases and loans, which comprise the majority of the Company’s revenues.
3. Notes receivable, net:
The Company has had various notes receivable from borrowers who have financed the purchase of equipment through the Company. The notes were secured by the equipment financed. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the notes have been fully settled.

4. Allowance for credit losses:
The Company’s allowance for credit losses totaled $1 thousand and $2 thousand at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. All of such allowance were related to delinquent operating lease receivables. The Company had neither financing receivables in non-accrual status nor impaired financing receivables at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Impairment of investments in leases and assets held for sale or lease:
Recorded values of the Company’s leased asset portfolio are reviewed each quarter to confirm the reasonableness of established residual values and to determine whether there is indication that an asset impairment might have taken place. The Company uses a variety of sources and considers many factors in evaluating whether the respective book values of its assets are appropriate. In addition, the Company may direct a residual value review at any time if it becomes aware of issues regarding the ability of a lessee to continue to make payments on its lease contract. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the residual value of the asset at the end of the asset’s lease contract and undiscounted future rents from the existing lease contract, if any. 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 marketplace 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. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by a valuation method using discounted estimated future cash flows, third party appraisals or comparable sales of similar assets as applicable based on asset type) of the asset and its carrying value on the measurement date. Upward adjustments for impairments recognized in prior periods are not made in any circumstances.
As a result of these reviews, management determined that no impairment losses existed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. By comparison, the Company recorded $345 thousand of fair value adjustments to reduce the cost basis of certain impaired lease equipment during the first six months of 2015.
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 totaled $292 thousand and $535 thousand for the respective three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $596 thousand and $1.2 million for the respective six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Initial direct costs amortization expense related to the Company’s operating and direct financing leases totaled $6 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $1 thousand and $12 thousand for the respective six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

7. Non-recourse debt:
At June 30, 2016, 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 1.97% to 6.66%. The notes are secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At June 30, 2016, gross operating lease rentals and future payments on direct financing leases totaled approximately $1.9 million over the remaining lease terms; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is $5.4 million. The notes mature at various dates from 2016 through 2018.
The non-recourse debt does not contain any material financial covenants. The debt is secured by a specific 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 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.

10. Fair value measurements:
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, only the Company’s warrants were measured on a recurring basis.
During the first six months of 2016, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value adjustments to reduce the cost basis of an impaired security to zero. During 2015, such non-recurring adjustments were recorded to reduce the cost bases of impaired equipment. Amounts at December 31, 2015 reflect the fair values of the existing impaired equipment.
Such fair value adjustments utilized the following methodology:
Warrants (recurring)
Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are carried on the balance sheet at an estimated fair value at the end of the period. The valuation of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes formulation of value based upon the stock price(s), the exercise price(s), the volatility of comparable venture companies, and a risk free interest rate for the term(s) of the warrant exercise(s). As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the calculated fair value of the Fund’s warrant portfolio approximated $13 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively. Such valuations are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired investment securities (non-recurring)
The Company’s investment securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at cost. The investment securities are adjusted for any impairment 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.
During the first six months of 2016, the Company recorded a $9 thousand fair value adjustment to reduce the cost basis of an impaired investment security to zero. The 100% reduction in value was based on a market approach technique and uses inputs that reflect qualitative and quantitative information provided by the management of the investee. Such information indicated a significantly reduced value as evidenced by the purchase price of the investee as contemplated in its acquisition terms.
During 2015, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value adjustments of $14 thousand to reduce the cost basis of certain impaired investment securities, none of which were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2015. A majority of the reduction in value was based on a market approach technique and uses inputs that reflect qualitative and quantitative information provided by the management of the investee, which indicated reduced growth opportunity and eventual reduction in cash flows and revenues.
Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of the aforementioned impaired investment securities were classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired lease and/or off-lease equipment (non-recurring)
During 2015, the Company deemed certain petroleum/natural gas and transportation equipment to be impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $437 thousand to reduce the cost basis of the equipment. There were no such adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The aforementioned adjustments were non-recurring. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair values of such impaired equipment are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy as the data sources utilized for the valuation of the 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.
The fair value of the investment security with an impairment at June 30, 2016 was zero. The table below presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

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. 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 generally estimated based upon various methodologies deployed by financial and credit management including, but not limited to, credit analysis, third party appraisal and/or discounted cash flow analysis based upon current market valuation techniques and market rates for similar types of lending arrangements, which may consider adjustments for impaired 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.
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.

Overview
ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) 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 may continue until December 31, 2022. However, pursuant to the guidelines of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), the Company commenced liquidation phase activities subsequent to the end of the Reinvestment Period which ended on December 31, 2011. Periodic distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Managing Member.
Results of Operations
The three months ended June 30, 2016 versus the three months ended June 30, 2015
The Company had net income of $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The results for the second quarter of 2016 reflect decreases in both total revenues and total operating expenses when compared to the prior year period.
Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $221 thousand, or 9%, as compared to the prior year period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in operating lease and direct financing lease revenues, and a decrease in realized gains on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes, partially offset by an increase in other revenue.
The decline in operating lease revenues totaled $447 thousand and was primarily a result of continued run-off and dispositions of lease assets. Direct financing lease revenues decreased by $186 thousand mainly due to run-off of the portfolio. The decrease in gains realized on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes totaled $75 thousand and was a result of a change in the mix of assets sold.
Other revenue increased by $491 thousand due to deferred maintenance charges on returned equipment.
Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $424 thousand, or 36%, as compared to the prior year period. The net decline in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, costs reimbursed to AFS and/or affiliates and interest expense, offset, in part, by an increase on storage fees.
19
The decrease in depreciation expense totaled $243 thousand and was primarily a result of run-off and dispositions of lease assets. Costs reimbursed to AFS and/or affiliates decreased by $72 thousand largely due to lower costs allocated by the Manager based on the Company’s continued liquidation. Interest expense declined by $72 thousand as a result of a $3.9 million reduction in outstanding debt since June 30, 2015.
Storage fees expense increased by $71 thousand due to an increase in the railcars held in storage facility.
The six months ended June 30, 2016 versus the six months ended June 30, 2015
The Company had net income of $2.6 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect decreases in both total revenues and total operating expenses when compared to the prior year period.
Revenues
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $1.1 million, or 20%, as compared to the prior year period. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in operating lease revenues, realized losses on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes, and a decrease in direct financing lease revenues, partially offset by an increase in other revenue.
The decline in operating lease revenues totaled $1.1 million and was primarily a result of continued run-off and dispositions of lease assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the decrease in gains realized on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes totaled $385 thousand. Such change was mostly due to lower volume and a change in the mix of assets sold. Finally, direct financing lease revenues decreased by $365 thousand mainly due to run-off of the portfolio.
Other revenue increased by $841 thousand due to deferred maintenance charges on returned equipment.
Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $1.3 million, or 46%, as compared to the prior year period. The net decline in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, impairment losses on equipment, costs reimbursed to AFS and/or affiliates and interest expense offset, in part, by an increase on storage fees.
The decrease in depreciation expense totaled $596 thousand and was primarily a result of run-off and dispositions of lease assets. Impairment losses on equipment declined by $345 thousand due to the absence of equipment deemed impaired during the current year period. During the prior period, certain petroleum/natural gas equipment were deemed impaired for which the Company recorded fair value adjustments totaling $345 thousand. Such adjustments were based on information and/or pricing quotes from third party remarketing agents.
Costs reimbursed to AFS and/or affiliates decreased by $156 thousand largely due to lower costs allocated by the Manager based on the Company’s continued liquidation. Interest expense declined by $142 thousand as a result of a $3.9 million reduction in outstanding debt since June 30, 2015.
Storage fees expense increased by $70 thousand due to an increase in the railcars held in storage facility.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.0 million and $4.0 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 distributions are made to 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 the Company’s success in remarketing or selling the equipment as it comes off rental.

The Company currently believes it has adequate reserves available 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For detailed information on recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies.
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, 2015. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2015.
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) and 15d-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, who is responsible for providing the Company with financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Managing Member’s disclosure controls and procedures, as they are applicable to the Company, means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78aet seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control
There were no changes in the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company.
