Organization and Limited Liability Company Matters [Abstract] | |
Organization and Limited Liability Company Matters | 1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters: ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund” ) was formed under the laws of the State of California on June 25, 2004. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities. Also, from time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements. 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, 2025 . Each Member’s personal liability for obligations of the Company generally will be limited to the amount of their respective contributions and rights to undistributed profits and assets of the Company. The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (“Units”), at a price of $ 10 per Unit. On May 31, 2005, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units ( 120,000 , representing $ 1.2 million) had been received and AFS requested that the subscriptions be released to the Company. On that date, the Company commenced operations in its primary business (acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities). As of July 13, 2005, the Company had received subscriptions for 958,274 Units ($ 9.6 million), thus exceeding the $ 7.5 million minimum requirement for Pennsylvania, and AFS requested that the remaining funds in escrow (from Pennsylvania investors) be released to the Company. The Company terminated sales of Units effective April 30, 2006. Life-to-date net contributions through September 30, 2015 totaled $ 52.2 million , consisting of approximately $ 52.8 million in gross contributions from Other Members purchasing Units under the public offering less rescissions and repurchases (net of distributions paid and allocated syndication costs, as applicable) of $ 636 thousand. As of September 30, 2015 , 5,209,307 Units were 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 ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) provides additional distributions following the Reinvestment Period and until all equipment has been sold. The Company is governed by its Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), as amended. On January 1, 2013, the Company commenced liquidation phase activities pursuant to the guidelines of the Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, AFS and its affiliates receives compensation for services rendered and reimbursements for costs incurred on b ehalf 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. The Company’s 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, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 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 Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Managing Member, events that have occurred after September 30, 2015 up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require additional disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements, or 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 for 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 nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014 and long-lived assets as of September 30 , 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands): For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 % of Total 2014 % of Total Revenue United States $ $ United Kingdom Total International Total $ $ As of September 30, As of December 31, 2015 % of Total 2014 % of Total Long-lived assets United States $ $ United Kingdom Total International Total $ $ 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, no fair value adjustment was deemed necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014. There were no sales or dispositions of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014. 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. At both September 30 , 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. The Company realized gains of $1 thousand and $30 thousand on the net exercise of certain warrants during the respective three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. There were no exercises of warrants, net or otherwise, during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 . Foreign currency transactions: Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported in the results of operations as “other income” or “other loss” in the period in which they occur. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments as the foreign currency transactions risks to date have not been significant. Per Unit data: Net income and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members’ Units outstanding during the period. Recent accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. 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. |

Investment in equipment and leases, net: The Company’s investment in leases consists of the following (in thousands): Balance December 31, 2014 Reclassifications, Additions/ Dispositions Depreciation/ Amortization Expense or Amortization of Leases Balance September 30, 2015 Net investment in operating leases $ $ $ $ Net investment in direct financing leases Assets held for sale or lease, net - Initial direct costs, net of accumulated amortization of $32 at September 30, 2015 and $29 at December 31, 2014 - Total $ $ $ $ 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. 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 $213 thousand and $353 thousand for the respective three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $732 thousand and $1.1 million for the respective nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Initial direct costs amortization expense related to the Company’s operating and direct financing leases amounted to $2 thousand and $3 thousand for the respective three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $7 thousand and $12 thousand for the respective nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. All of the leased property was acquired during the years 2005 through 2011.

The note is due in monthly ins tallments. Interest on the note is at a fixed rate of 5.95 %. The note is secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At September 30, 2015, gross lease rentals totaled approximately $ 44 thousand over the remaining lease term ; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is approximately $ 816 thousand. The note mature s in October 2015 . 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 t o 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. The r emaining future minimum payment of non-recourse debt total s $47 thousand, all of which is due and payable in October 2015. The payment is comprised of principal totaling $47 thousand and a nominal amount of interest . The future minimum p ayment of non-recourse debt is in excess of the gross lease rentals at September 30, 2015 by $3 thousand due to casualties relative to the pledged assets. This is fully mitigated by the stipulated loss proceeds received to date on such casualty units. |

Guarantees [Abstract] | |
Guarantees | 9 . 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. |

Members' Capital | 10 . Members’ capital: A total of 5,209,307 Units were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Fund was authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 Units in addition to the Units issued to the initial members (50 Units) . The Company terminated sales of Units effective April 30, 2006. The Company has the right, exercisable at 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. Distributions to the Other Members were as follows (in thousands, except as to Units and per Unit data): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Distributions $ - $ - $ $ Weighted average number of Units outstanding Weighted average distributions per Unit $ - $ - $ $ The monthly distributions were discontinued in 2013 as the Company entered its liquidation phase.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 9 Months Ended |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 11 . 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, only the Company’s warrants were measured on a recurring basis. The Company had no assets or liabilities requiring measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2015. During 2014, the Company recorded non-recurring adjustments to reduce the cost basis of an impaired security to zero. 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. 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. Such valuations are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. 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. There were no fair value adjustments relative to impaired investment securities during 2015. During 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of $178 thousand to reduce the cost basis of an impaired investment security. 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 significantly reduced operating cash flows and revenues, and, to date, an unsuccessful attempt to sell the investee. 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. There were no non-recurring fair value adjustments at September 30, 2015. The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s non-recurring fair value adjustments categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2014: December 31, 2014 Name Valuation Frequency Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs Range of Input Values Investment Securities Non-recurring Market Approach Qualitative and quantitative information (Investee Management) Not Applicable 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. 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 the 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. The following tables present estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments in accordance with the guidance provided by the Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands) : Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ $ $ - $ - $ Notes receivable, net - - Investment in securities - - Financial liabilities: Non-recourse debt - - Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ $ $ - $ - $ Notes receivable, net - - Investment in securities - - Financial liabilities: Non-recourse debt - - |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 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 Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Managing Member, events that have occurred after September 30, 2015 up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require additional disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements, or adjustments thereto. |
Use of Estimates | 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 for determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for credit losses on notes receivable. |
Segment Reporting | 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 nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014 and long-lived assets as of September 30 , 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands): For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 % of Total 2014 % of Total Revenue United States $ $ United Kingdom Total International Total $ $ As of September 30, As of December 31, 2015 % of Total 2014 % of Total Long-lived assets United States $ $ United Kingdom Total International Total $ $ |
Investment in Securities | 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, no fair value adjustment was deemed necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014. There were no sales or dispositions of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 and 2014. 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. At both September 30 , 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. The Company realized gains of $1 thousand and $30 thousand on the net exercise of certain warrants during the respective three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. There were no exercises of warrants, net or otherwise, during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2015 . |
Foreign Currency Transactions | Foreign currency transactions: Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported in the results of operations as “other income” or “other loss” in the period in which they occur. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments as the foreign currency transactions risks to date have not been significant. |
Per Unit Data | Per Unit data: Net income and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members’ Units outstanding during the period. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. 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. |
