Footnotes:

     (1) Credit rating as listed by Moody's Investor Services as of the date of
this report. "N/R" signifies that either the company has no public debt or has
not been issued a rating. "BaaCE" indicates a credit equivalent of Baa or better
as determined by the General Partner. The credit rating of guaranteed Leases is
that of the Guarantor.

     (2) "Lease  Term" is expressed  in terms of months,  although  actual Lease
Terms may be monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual.

     (3)  "Equipment  Cost"  includes  either  amounts  committed to Lessees for
funding by the Program,  or actual Equipment  acquisition  costs as of September
30, 2002.  All figures are rounded to the nearest  dollar. For any  transactions
which are not  fully  funded,  the  "Equipment  Cost" may  change as a result of
ongoing  fundings.  To the extent that the transaction is not fully funded,  the
information in the table  represents the Managing  Member's best estimates as to
the size,  timing and terms of the transaction  upon full funding,  based on the
outstanding lease commitment,  its discussions with the lessee,  the current and
anticipated  availability  of Fund  capital and other  factors.  There can be no
assurance,  however,  that the  portion  of the  transaction  which has not been
funded will be completed as described.

     (4) Acquisition Cost represents a 25% interest in the equipment  (purchased
from Bank of America,  NA). Lease term  represents  the remaining  months of the
existing lease contract.

     (5)  Acquisition  Cost  represents  an  additional  17.5%  interest  in the
equipment  (purchased  from  BNY  Capital  Resources  Corporation).  Lease  term
represents the remaining months of the existing lease contract.

     (6)  Acquisition  Cost equals 50% of the total  funded for the lessee.  The
other 50% is owned by other ATEL partnership.

     (7)  Photuris  shall  execute  and  deliver to ATEL a warrant to purchase a
number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock equal to $45,000.

     (8) Acquisition  Cost equals 77% of the total funded for lessee.  The other
23% is owned by other ATEL partnership.

     (9) ATEL may be able to  purchase a warrant to  purchase  22,935  shares of
Silicon's Series D Preferred Stock at a price per share of $6.54.


     (10) ATEL may be able to  purchase a warrant to purchase  29,101  shares of
Zeevo's Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share of $3.78.

     (11) Portfolio Credit Rating reflects the weighted average credit rating as
defined in the  Prospectus  for the top 75% of the  equipment  acquired with Net
Proceeds.

     (12)  Additional   Commitments  reflect  the  expected  funding  amount  of
additional transactions currently approved for funding in ATEL Capital Equipment
Fund IX.

Status of the Offering:
As of September 30, 2002, the Fund had received and accepted subscriptions for a
total of 8,758,408 units, for total subscription proceeds in the amount of
$87,584,080.
