Overview
ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) is a California limited liability company that was formed in June 2004 for the purpose of engaging in the sale of limited liability company investment units and acquiring equipment to generate revenues from equipment leasing, lending and sales activities, primarily in the United States.
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 April 2006. During 2006, 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 reinvested cash flow in excess of certain amounts required to be distributed to the Other Members and/or utilized its credit facilities to acquire additional equipment.
The Company may continue until December 31, 2025. 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, 2012. Periodic distributions are paid at the discretion of the Managing Member.
Results of Operations
The three months ended September 30, 2013 versus the three months ended September 30, 2012
The Company had net income of $401 thousand and $243 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Results for the third quarter of 2013 reflect decreases in both total operating expenses and total revenues when compared to the prior year period.
Revenues
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2013 declined by $424 thousand, or 28%, as compared to the prior year period. The net reduction in total revenues was largely attributable to a $440 thousand decrease in operating lease revenue which declined as a result of continued run-off and sales of lease assets.
Expenses
Total expenses for the third quarter of 2013 decreased by $560 thousand, or 45%, as compared to the prior year period. The net reduction in total expenses was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense, impairment losses on equipment, acquisition expense, asset management fees paid to AFS and interest expense.
