1. 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 instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Managing Member, necessary to a
fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the interim
periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that effect reported amounts in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Therefore, actual results could differ from
those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending
December 31, 2003.
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, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

continue until December 31, 2021.
The Company, or the Managing Member on behalf of the Company, will incur costs
in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the Limited
Liability Company Units (Units). The amount of such costs to be borne by the

4. Related party transactions:
The terms of the Limited Company Operating Agreement provide that the Managing
Member and/or affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment
acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Company.
The Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement allows for the reimbursement
of costs incurred by the Managing Member in providing services to the Company.
Services provided include Company accounting, investor relations, legal counsel
and lease and equipment documentation. The Managing Member is not reimbursed for
services where it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such
services, such as acquisition and management of equipment. Reimbursable costs
incurred by the Managing Member are allocated to the Company based upon actual
time incurred by employees working on Company business and an allocation of rent
and other costs based on utilization studies.
Substantially all employees of the Managing Member record time incurred in
performing services on behalf of all of the Companies serviced by the Managing
Member. 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 and are reimbursable in
accordance with the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement.
The Managing Member and/or affiliates earned fees, commissions and
reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement as
follows:
Periods Ended September 30,
2003
Nine Months Three Months
Selling commissions (equal to 9% of the selling price of the Limited Liability

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Statements contained in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q,
which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Investors are cautioned not
to attribute undue certainty to these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly
release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events, other than as required by law.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
During the first three quarters of 2003, the Company's primary activities were
raising funds through its offering of Limited Liability Company Units (Units)
and engaging in equipment leasing activities. Through September 30, 2003, the
Company had received subscriptions for 3,025,789 Units ($30,257,890). As of
September 30, 2003, all of those Units were issued and outstanding.
During the funding period, the Company's primary source of liquidity is
subscription proceeds from the public offering of Units. The liquidity of the
Company will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases
exceed expenses, and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions
are made to the Members and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from
leases.
As another source of liquidity, the Company has contractual obligations with
lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As the initial lease
terms expire, the Company will re-lease or sell the equipment. The future
liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will depend on the Managing
Member's success in re-leasing or selling the equipment as it comes off lease.
The Company anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from owned
assets on lease in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only
after the payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and
interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the Managing Member
and providing for cash distributions to the members.
The Company currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, 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. The Managing Member envisions no such requirements for operating
purposes.
No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional equipment. As of September 30, 2003, there were no
such commitments.
If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the
Company inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the
Company's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase.
However, the Company's revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such
rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for
inflation.
If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Company can
obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a
significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place,
for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.
Cash Flows
During the first nine months of 2003, the Company's primary source of liquidity
was the proceeds of its offering of Units.
In 2003, the primary source of cash from operations was rents from operating
leases.
In 2003, the only source of cash from investing activities was rents from direct
financing leases. Uses of cash for investing activities consisted of cash used
to purchase operating and direct financing lease assets and payments of initial
direct costs associated with the lease asset purchases.
In 2003, the primary source of cash from financing activities was the proceeds
of the Company's public offering of Units of Limited Liability Company interest.
Financing uses of cash consisted of payments of syndication costs associated
with the offering and distributions to the members.
11
Results of operations
In 2003, operations resulted in a net loss of $170,873 for the nine month period
and $103,187 for the three month period. The Company's primary source of
revenues is from operating leases. Depreciation is related to operating lease
assets and thus, to operating lease revenues. Operating lease revenues and
depreciation expense are expected to increase in future periods as acquisitions
continue. Revenues from direct financing leases are also expected to increase in
future periods as lease asset acquisitions continue.
Asset management fees are based on the gross lease rents of the Company plus
proceeds from the sales of lease assets. Such fees are limited to certain
percentages of lease rents, distributions to members and certain other items. As
assets are acquired, lease rents are collected and distributions are made to the
members, these fees are expected to increase.
Results of operations in future periods are expected to vary considerably from
those of the first nine months of 2003 as the Company continues to acquire
significant amounts of lease assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk.
The Company, like most other companies, is exposed to certain market risks,
including primarily changes in interest rates. The Company believes its exposure
to other market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity
risk and equity price risk, are insignificant to both its financial position and
results of operations.
In general, the Company expects to manage its exposure to interest rate risk by
obtaining fixed rate debt. The fixed rate debt will be structured so as to match
the cash flows required to service the debt to the payment streams under fixed
rate lease receivables. The payments under the leases will be assigned to the
lenders in satisfaction of the debt. Furthermore, the Managing Member, in
connection with other funds it manages or has managed, has historically been
able to maintain a stable spread between its cost of funds and lease yields in
both periods of rising and falling interest rates. Nevertheless, the Company
expects to frequently fund leases with a floating interest rate line of credit
and will, therefore, be exposed to interest rate risk until fixed rate financing
is arranged, or the floating interest rate line of credit is repaid. As of
September 30, 2003, the Company had no outstanding balances subject to floating
interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and procedures.
Internal Controls
As of September 30, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO of
the Managing Member, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the
Company's management, including the CEO and CFO of the Managing Member,
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of September 30, 2003. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2003.
Changes in internal controls
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures
subsequent to the evaluation date, nor were there any significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
the CEO and CFO, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
240.13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was
performed as of a date within ninety days before the filing date of this
quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO of the Managing
Member concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing
and timely reporting information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management in order to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
