Organization and Limited Liability Company Matters [Abstract] | |
Organization and Limited Liability Company Matters | 1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters: ATEL Growth Capital Fund 8, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was formed under the laws of the state of California on December 8, 2011 for the purpose of providing financing for the acquisition of equipment and other goods and services used by emerging growth companies and established privately held companies without publicly traded securities, and for providing other forms of financing for, and to acquire equity interests and warrants and rights to purchase equity interests in such companies. The Fund may continue until it is terminated in accordance with the ATEL Growth Capital Fund 8, LLC limited liability company operating agreement dated December 13, 2011 (the “Operating Agreement”). The Managing Member of the Company is AGC Managing Member, LLC (the “Managing Member” or “Manager”), the renamed AGC 8 Managing Member, LLC which was formed in December 2011 as a Nevada limited liability company. Such name change is the result of an amendment to the articles of incorporation filed with the State of Nevada effective March 18, 2014. Contributions in the amount of $ 500 were received as of December 31, 2011, which represented the initial Member’s capital investment. As a limited liability company, the liability of any individual member for the obligations of the Fund is limited to the extent of capital contributions to the Fund by the individual member. The offering was terminated on August 20, 2014. Through September 30, 2017, cumulative contributions, net of rescissions and related distributions paid, totaling $16.2 million ( inclusive of the $500 initial M ember’s capital investment ) have been received. As of September 30, 2017 , a total of 1,615,096 Units were issued and outstanding . Prior to the termination of its offering, the Fund, or Managing Member on behalf of the Fund, incurred costs in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the Units. The amount of such costs borne by the Fund was limited by certain provisions of the Operating Agreement. 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, 2016, 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 , 2017 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 financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Managing Member, events that have occurred after September 30 , 2017, 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 the 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 the estimates. Such estimates primarily relate to the determination of credit losses on notes receivable and the fair valuation of equity securities and warrants. Segment reporting: The Company is organized into one operating segment 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 region in which the Company seeks financing opportunities is North America. Currently, 100% of the Company’s operating revenues are from customers domiciled in the United States. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under notes receivable which are currently due to the Company. Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based upon their aging and historical charge off and collection experience and the creditworthiness of specifically identified borrowers, and invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are generally charged off against the allowance on a specific identification basis. Recoveries of amounts that were previously written-off are recorded as other income in the period received. Accounts receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status (i.e., no revenue is recognized) when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with note payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, such notes may be placed in non-accrual status. Notes placed on non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and management believes recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. All payments received on amounts billed under notes receivable are applied only against outstanding principal balances. Valuation Adjustments In addition to the allowance established for delinquent accounts receivable, the total allowance also includes probable impairment charges on notes receivable. Notes are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest when due. If it is determined that a loan is impaired with regard to scheduled payments, the Company will perform an analysis of the note to determine if an impairment valuation reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the note, or the collateral value of the property underlying the note when note repayment is collateral dependent. Any required valuation reserve is charged to earnings when determined; and notes are charged off to the allowance as they are deemed uncollectible. Investment in securities: From time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants and rights to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements. Purchased securities Purchased securities (primarily preferred stocks) 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. As of September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, investments in equity securities totaled $521 thousand for both periods. There were no sales or dispositions of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 . In comparison, the realized gains on the sale or disposition of investment in securities totaled $218 thousand during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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 September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of warrants to be $422 thousand and $481 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016 , the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $ 86 thousand and an unrealized gain of $ 2 thousand, on the fair valuation of its warrants , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $59 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively, on fair valuation of its warrants. The Company also realized $98 thousand and $99 thousand related to the net exercise of certain warrants during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. There were no exercises of warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. See Note 8 for further discussion . Credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable. The Company places the majority of its cash deposits in non-interest bearing accounts with financial institutions that have no less than $10 billion in assets. Such deposits are insured up to $250 ,000 . The remainder of the Funds’ cash is temporarily invested in U.S. Treasury denominated instruments. The concentration of such deposits and temporary cash investments is not deemed to create a significant risk to the Company. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from various industries. Per Unit data: The Company issues only one class of Units, none of which are considered dilutive. Net income (loss) per Unit is based upon the weighted average number of Other Members Units outstanding during the period. 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. 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 and 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 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 August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 — Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the standard and its impact on operations and financial reporting. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its financial statements. In June 2016, the 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 expects the Update may potentially result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life adjusted for expected prepayments. In January 2016, the 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. ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and (v) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. 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. The Company’s implementation efforts include the identification of equity securities within the scope of the guidance, the evaluation of the measurement alternative available for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, and the related impact to accounting policies, presentation and disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 with 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 expects to adopt the Standards Update. A preliminary evaluation of the impact of such adoption on the financial statements of the Fund indicates that such impact is non-material as the new revenue guideline does not affect revenues from leases and loans, which comprise the majority of the Company’s revenues. Management expects that accounting policies will not materially change since the principles of revenue recognition from the standard are largely consistent with existing guidance and current practices applied by the Company . |

Special Mention – Any traditional corporate type account with potential weaknesses (e.g. large net losses or major industry downturns) or, any growth capital account that has less than three months of cash as of the end of the calendar quarter to fund their continuing operations. These accounts deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the Fund’s receivable at some future date. Substandard – Any account that is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Accounts that are so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Fund will sustain some loss as the likelihood of fully collecting all receivables may be questionable if the deficiencies are not corrected. Such accounts are on the Manager’s Credit Watch List. Doubtful – Any account where the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Accordingly, an account that is so classified is on the Manager’s Credit Watch List, and has been declared in default and the Manager has repossessed, or is attempting to repossess, the equipment it financed. This category includes impaired notes and leases as applicable. At September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s notes receivables by credit quality indicator and by class of financing receivables are as follows (in thousands): Notes Receivable September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Pass $ 2,691 $ 4,293 Special mention 84 53 Substandard - 133 Doubtful - 668 Total $ 2,775 $ 5,147 As of September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s impaired loans were as follows (in thousands): Impaired Loans September 30, 2017 Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized With no related allowance recorded Notes receivable $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - With an allowance recorded Notes receivable 58 58 58 82 - Total $ 58 $ 58 $ 58 $ 82 $ - Impaired Loans December 31, 2016 Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized With no related allowance recorded Notes receivable $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - With an allowance recorded Notes receivable 801 809 717 833 - Total $ 801 $ 809 $ 717 $ 833 $ - At September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, investment in financing receivables is aged as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2017 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Greater Than 90 Days Total Past Due Current Total Financing Receivables Recorded Investment>90 Days and Accruing Notes receivable $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 2,775 $ 2,775 $ - Total $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 2,775 $ 2,775 $ - December 31, 2016 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Greater Than 90 Days Total Past Due Current Total Financing Receivables Recorded Investment>90 Days and Accruing Notes receivable $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 5,147 $ 5,147 $ - Total $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 5,147 $ 5,147 $ - As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company had four and seven notes receivable, respectively, which were on non-accrual status (See Note 3 for details). |

Related Party Transactions | 5 . Related party transactions: The terms of the Operating Agreement provide that the Managing Member and/or affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment management and resale and for management of the Company. The Operating Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Managing Member and/or affiliates for providing administrative services to the Company. Administrative services provided include Company accounting, investor relations, legal counsel and equipment financing documentation. The Managing Member is not reimbursed for services whereby it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such services, such as management of investments. Cost reimbursements to the Managing Member or its affiliates are based on its costs incurred in performing administrative services for the Company. These costs are allocated to each managed entity based on certain criteria such as total assets, number of investors or contributed capital based upon the type of cost incurred. The Managing Member believes that the costs reimbursed are the lower of (i) actual costs incurred on behalf of the Company or (ii) the amount the Company would be required to pay independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location. During the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016, the Managing Member and/or affiliates earned commissions and fees, and billed for reimbursements of costs and expenses pursuant to the Operating Agreement as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Administrative costs reimbursed to Managing Member and/or affiliates $ 60 $ 63 $ 195 $ 178 Asset management fees to Managing Member 11 19 43 59 Acquisition costs and note origination fees paid to Managing Member 56 165 161 206 $ 127 $ 247 $ 399 $ 443 |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 8 . Fair value measurements: At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, only the Company’s warrants were measured on a recurring basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, no non-recurring adjustments were recorded to write down the fair values of certain notes receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value adjustments to reduce the cost basis of certain impaired notes receivable. The measurement methodology is as follows : 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, time to maturity, and a risk free interest rate for the term(s) of the warrant exercise(s). As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the calculated fair value of the Fund’s warrant portfolio totaled $422 thousand and $481 thousand, respectively. Such valuation is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of warrants that were accounted for on a recurring basis as of the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016 and classified as level 3 are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Fair value of warrants at beginning of period $ 508 $ 703 $ 481 $ 722 Fair value of new warrants, recorded during the year (included as a discount on notes receivable) - 31 - 31 Unrealized (loss) gain on fair value adjustment for warrants (86) 2 (59) (17) Fair value of warrants at end of period $ 422 $ 736 $ 422 $ 736 Impaired notes receivable (non-recurring) The fair value of the Company’s notes receivable, when impairment adjustments are required, is estimated using either third party appraisals or estimations of the value of collateral (for collateral dependent loans). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the C ompany did not record any fair value adjustments. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company had recorded fair value adjustments totaling $620 thousand relative to six impaired notes. The fair value adjustments were non-recurring and were based upon an estimated valuation of underlying collateral. Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the fair value of the impaired notes receivable is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The valuation utilizes a market approach technique and uses inputs from third party appraisers that utilize current market transactions as adjusted for certain factors specific to the underlying collateral. The following table presents the fair value measurement of impaired assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2016 (in thousands): December 31, 2016 Level 1 Estimated Fair Value Level 2 Estimated Fair Value Level 3 Estimated Fair Value Impaired notes receivable $ 84 $ - $ - $ 84 The following tables summarize the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s recurring and non-recurring fair value calculation categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016: September 30, 2017 Valuation Valuation Unobservable Range of Name Frequency Technique Inputs Input Values Warrants Recurring Black-Scholes formulation Stock price $0.00 - $14.75 Exercise price $0.01 - $25.76 Time to maturity (in years) 3.24 - 14.20 Risk-free interest rate 1.66% - 2.46% Annualized volatility 35.12% - 99.85% December 31, 2016 Valuation Valuation Unobservable Range of Name Frequency Technique Inputs Input Values Warrants Recurring Black-Scholes formulation Stock price $0.00 - $14.75 Exercise price $0.19 - $25.76 Time to maturity (in years) 3.99 - 14.95 Risk-free interest rate 1.70% - 2.62% Annualized volatility 34.86% - 108.99% Notes Receivable Non-recurring Market Approach Third Party Agents' estimate of the value of collateral $0 - $121,376 Condition of collateral (equipment) Poor to Average 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. 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 , 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): September 30, 2017 Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,029 $ 2,029 $ - $ - $ 2,029 Notes receivable, net 2,717 - - 2,707 2,707 Investment in securities 521 - - 521 521 Warrants 422 - - 422 422 December 31, 2016 Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,860 $ 1,860 $ - $ - $ 1,860 Notes receivable, net 4,430 - - 4,416 4,416 Investment in securities 521 - - 521 521 Warrants 481 - - 481 481 |

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 , 2017 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 financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Managing Member, events that have occurred after September 30 , 2017, 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 the 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 the estimates. Such estimates primarily relate to the determination of credit losses on notes receivable and the fair valuation of equity securities and warrants. |
Segment Reporting | Segment reporting: The Company is organized into one operating segment 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 region in which the Company seeks financing opportunities is North America. Currently, 100% of the Company’s operating revenues are from customers domiciled in the United States. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under notes receivable which are currently due to the Company. Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based upon their aging and historical charge off and collection experience and the creditworthiness of specifically identified borrowers, and invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are generally charged off against the allowance on a specific identification basis. Recoveries of amounts that were previously written-off are recorded as other income in the period received. Accounts receivable are generally placed in a non-accrual status (i.e., no revenue is recognized) when payments are more than 90 days past due. Additionally, management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of companies with note payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, such notes may be placed in non-accrual status. Notes placed on non-accrual status are only returned to an accrual status when the account has been brought current and management believes recovery of the remaining unpaid receivable is probable. All payments received on amounts billed under notes receivable are applied only against outstanding principal balances. |
Valuation Adjustments | Valuation Adjustments In addition to the allowance established for delinquent accounts receivable, the total allowance also includes probable impairment charges on notes receivable. Notes are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest when due. If it is determined that a loan is impaired with regard to scheduled payments, the Company will perform an analysis of the note to determine if an impairment valuation reserve is necessary. This analysis considers the estimated cash flows from the note, or the collateral value of the property underlying the note when note repayment is collateral dependent. Any required valuation reserve is charged to earnings when determined; and notes are charged off to the allowance as they are deemed uncollectible. |
Investment in Securities | Investment in securities: From time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants and rights to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements. Purchased securities Purchased securities (primarily preferred stocks) 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. As of September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, investments in equity securities totaled $521 thousand for both periods. There were no sales or dispositions of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 . In comparison, the realized gains on the sale or disposition of investment in securities totaled $218 thousand during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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 September 30 , 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of warrants to be $422 thousand and $481 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016 , the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $ 86 thousand and an unrealized gain of $ 2 thousand, on the fair valuation of its warrants , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $59 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively, on fair valuation of its warrants. The Company also realized $98 thousand and $99 thousand related to the net exercise of certain warrants during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. There were no exercises of warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. See Note 8 for further discussion . |
Credit Risk | Credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable. The Company places the majority of its cash deposits in non-interest bearing accounts with financial institutions that have no less than $10 billion in assets. Such deposits are insured up to $250 ,000 . The remainder of the Funds’ cash is temporarily invested in U.S. Treasury denominated instruments. The concentration of such deposits and temporary cash investments is not deemed to create a significant risk to the Company. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from various industries. |
Per Unit Data | Per Unit data: The Company issues only one class of Units, none of which are considered dilutive. Net income (loss) per Unit is based upon the weighted average number of Other Members Units outstanding during the period. |
Fair Value | 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. 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 and 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 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 | Recent accounting pronouncements: In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 — Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the standard and its impact on operations and financial reporting. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its financial statements. In June 2016, the 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 expects the Update may potentially result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life adjusted for expected prepayments. In January 2016, the 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. ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and (v) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. 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. The Company’s implementation efforts include the identification of equity securities within the scope of the guidance, the evaluation of the measurement alternative available for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, and the related impact to accounting policies, presentation and disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 with 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 expects to adopt the Standards Update. A preliminary evaluation of the impact of such adoption on the financial statements of the Fund indicates that such impact is non-material as the new revenue guideline does not affect revenues from leases and loans, which comprise the majority of the Company’s revenues. Management expects that accounting policies will not materially change since the principles of revenue recognition from the standard are largely consistent with existing guidance and current practices applied by the Company . |
