NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

ATEL 14, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was formed under the laws of the state of California on April 1, 2009 (“Date of Inception”) for the purpose of equipment financing and acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities. The Managing Member of the Company is ATEL Managing Member, LLC (the “Managing Member” or “Manager”), a Nevada limited liability corporation. Prior to May 9, 2011, the Manager was named ATEL Associates 14, LLC. The Fund may continue until December 31, 2030. Contributions in the amount of $500 were received as of May 8, 2009, 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 of the Company was granted effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission as of October 7, 2009. The offering will continue until the earlier of a period of two years from that date or until sales of Units to the public reach $150 million.

As of December 2, 2009, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units (120,000, representing $1.2 million), excluding subscriptions from Pennsylvania investors, had been received and the Fund requested subscription proceeds to be released from escrow. On that date, the Company commenced initial operations and continued in its development stage activities until transitioning to an operating enterprise during the first quarter of 2010. Pennsylvania subscriptions are subject to a separate escrow and are released to the Fund only when aggregate subscriptions for all investors equal to at least $7.5 million. Total contributions to the Fund exceeded $7.5 million on February 12, 2010, at which time a request was processed to release the Pennsylvania escrowed amounts. Contributions, net of rescissions, totaling $61.8 million and $66.3 million have been received through June 30, 2011 and July 31, 2011, respectively, inclusive of the $500 initial member’s capital investment. As of June 30, 2011, 6,182,564 Units were issued and outstanding. As of July 31, 2011, the Fund continues to actively raise capital.

The Fund, or Managing Member on behalf of the Fund, has and will continue to 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 Fund is limited by certain provisions of the ATEL 14, LLC amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement dated October 7, 2009 (the “Operating Agreement”).

The Company’s principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio of investments that will (i) preserve, protect and return the Company’s invested capital; (ii) generate regular cash distributions to Unitholders, with any balance remaining after required minimum distributions to be used to purchase additional investments during the Reinvestment Period (ending six calendar years after the completion of the Company’s public offering of Units) and (iii) provide additional cash distributions following the Reinvestment Period and until all investment portfolio assets has been sold or otherwise disposed. The Company is governed by its Operating Agreement, as amended.

Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, AFS receives compensation for services rendered and reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of the Company (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.

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, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no 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 Managing Member has reviewed events that have occurred after June 30, 2011, up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require 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 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 regions in which the Company seeks leasing opportunities are North America and Europe. Currently, 100% of the Company’s operating revenues and long-lived assets are from customers domiciled in North America.

Investment in securities:

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. At June 30, 2011, the Company acquired equity securities relative to the net exercise of warrants associated with shares of a venture company. The Company had no purchased securities prior to June 30, 2011.

Warrants

Warrants owned by the Company are not registered for public sale, but are considered derivatives and are carried at an estimated fair value on the balance sheet at the end of the period, as determined by the Managing Member. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Managing Member estimated the fair value of the warrants to be nominal in amount. As previously discussed, during the second quarter of 2011, the Company acquired equity securities relative to the net exercise of warrants associated with shares of a venture company. Such net exercise of warrants resulted in a $34 thousand gain recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. By comparison, there was no warrant activity to generate a gain or loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Per Unit data:

Net loss and distributions per Unit are based upon the weighted average number of Other Members Units outstanding during the period.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: - (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (collectively the “Boards”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 created a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world and clarified existing guidance in US GAAP. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the first reporting annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and shall be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a borrower and a creditor’s evaluation of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. In addition, an entity should disclose the information required by Accounting Standards Codification paragraphs 310-10-50-33 through 50-34, which was deferred by ASU 2011-01, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company anticipates that adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. The guidance will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

3. Notes receivable, net:

The Company has various notes receivable from borrowers who have financed the purchase of equipment through the Company. At June 30, 2011, the original terms of the notes receivable are 36 months to 42 months and bear interest rates ranging from 11.26% to 18.00%. The notes are secured by the equipment financed. The notes mature from 2013 through 2014. There were neither impaired notes nor notes placed in non-accrual status as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, the minimum future payments receivable are as follows (in thousands):


Six months ending December 31, 2011	$	539
Year ending December 31, 2012		1,061

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under operating and direct financing lease contracts, and 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 lessees and 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 lease or note payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, such leases or notes may be placed in non-accrual status. Leases or 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. Until such time, all payments received are applied only against outstanding principal balances.

Financing Receivables

In addition to the allowance established for delinquent accounts receivable, the total allowance related solely to financing receivables also includes anticipated impairment charges on notes receivable and direct financing leases.

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.

The asset underlying a direct financing lease contract is considered impaired if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than its net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the asset’s expected holding period and estimates of undiscounted future rents. 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 market place 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.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowance for credit losses (related solely to financing receivables) and its recorded net investment in financing receivables were as follows (in thousands):

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its financing receivables on a scale equivalent to the following quality indicators related to corporate risk profiles:

Pass – Any account whose lessee/debtor, co-lessee/debtor or any guarantor has a credit rating on publicly traded or privately placed debt issues as rated by Moody’s or S&P for either Senior Unsecured debt, Long Term Issuer rating or Issuer rating that are in the tiers of ratings generally recognized by the investment community as constituting an Investment Grade credit rating; or, has been determined by the Manager to be an Investment Grade Equivalent or High Quality Corporate Credit per its Credit Policy or has a Not Rated internal rating by the Manager and the account is not considered by the Chief Credit Officer of the Manager to fall into one of the three risk profiles below.

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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s financing receivables by credit quality indicator and by class of financing receivables are as follows (excludes initial direct costs) (in thousands):

There were no operating leases in non-accrual status at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company has certain operating leases that have related receivables aged 90 days or more that have not been placed on non-accrual status. In accordance with Company policy, such receivables are fully reserved. Management continues to closely monitor these leases for any actual change in collectability status.

Direct financing leases:

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, investment in direct financing leases consists of materials handling equipment such as pallet trucks and forklifts.

6. 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 lease and equipment 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.

Each of ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS”) and ATEL Leasing Corporation (“ALC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATEL Capital Group, Inc. and performs services for the Company on behalf of the Managing Member. Acquisition services, equipment management, lease administration and asset disposition services are performed by ALC; investor relations, communications and general administrative services are performed by AFS.

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

6. Related party transactions: - (continued)

such as managed 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.

The Managing Member and/or affiliates earned commissions and received cost reimbursements, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

7. Syndication costs:

Syndication costs are reflected as a reduction to Members’ capital as such costs are netted against the capital raised. The amount shown is primarily comprised of fees pertaining to the organization of the Fund, document preparation, regulatory filing fees, and accounting and legal costs. Syndication costs totaled $1.6 million and $1.1 million for the respective three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and $2.8 million and $2.3 million for the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Operating Agreement places a limit for cost reimbursements to the Managing Member and/or affiliates. When added to selling commissions, such cost reimbursements may not exceed a total equal to 15% of all offering proceeds. At June 30, 2011, there were no syndication costs in excess of the limitation. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had recorded $52 thousand of syndication costs in excess of the limitation. The limitation on the amount of syndication costs pursuant to the Operating Agreement is determined on the date of termination of the offering. At such time, the Manager guarantees repayment of any excess expenses above the determined limitation, which guarantee is without recourse or reimbursement by the Fund.

8. Non-recourse debt:

At June 30, 2011, non-recourse debt consists of a note payable to a financial institution. The note payments are due in monthly installments. Interest on the note is at a fixed rate of 4.40%. The note is secured by assignments of lease payments and pledges of assets. At June 30, 2011, gross operating lease rentals and future payments on direct financing leases totaled approximately $3.6 million over the remaining lease terms; and the carrying value of the pledged assets is $4.5 million. The note matures in 2014.

The non-recourse debt does not contain any material financial covenants. The debt is secured by a lien granted by the Company to the non-recourse lender on (and only on) the discounted lease transactions. The lender has recourse only to 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

8. Non-recourse debt: - (continued)

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 lender, 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.

Future minimum payments of non-recourse debt are as follows (in thousands):


	Principal		Interest		Total
Six months ending December 31, 2011	$	491	$	70	$	561
Year ending December 31, 2012		1,013		108		1,121

2014		825		14		839
	$	3,388	$	254	$	3,642

9. Borrowing facilities:

Effective June 15, 2010, the Company participated with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a working capital facility to AFS, an acquisition facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) and a warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) to AFS, the Company and affiliates, and a venture facility available to an affiliate with a syndicate of financial institutions which Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility is for an amount up to $75 million and expires in June 2012. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company amended its Master Borrowing Agreement with respect to the Warehouse Facility to suspend its participation in such Facility while retaining its ability to borrow from time to time under the Acquisition Facility on the condition that it maintains with the lender (subject to certain provisions) cash collateral on deposit in an amount not less than the principal amount of loans outstanding from time to time. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company again qualified for unrestricted participation under the Warehouse Facility as it was in compliance with all relevant financial covenants.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, borrowings under the facility were as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Total available under the financing arrangement	$	75,000	$	75,000
Amount borrowed by the Company under the acquisition facility		—		(500	)
Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and Limited Liability Companies under the working capital, acquisition and warehouse facilities		—		(4,845	)
Total remaining available under the working capital, acquisition and warehouse facilities	$	75,000	$	69,655

The Company and its affiliates pay an annual commitment fee to have access to this line of credit. As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate amount remaining unutilized under the Credit Facility is potentially available to the Company, subject to certain sub-facility and borrowing-base limitations. However, as amounts are drawn on the Credit Facility by each of the Company and the affiliates who are borrowers under the Credit Facility, the amount remaining available to all borrowers to draw under the Credit Facility is reduced.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $10.0 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio was not to exceed 1.50 to 1, and the required minimum interest coverage ratio was

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ATEL 14, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9. Borrowing facilities: - (continued)

not to be less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants under the Credit Facility with a minimum Tangible Net Worth, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as calculated per the Credit Facility agreement of $46.3 million, 0.07 to 1, and 18.56 to 1, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. As such, as of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all material financial covenants, and with all other material conditions of the Credit Facility. The Company does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing.

Fee and interest terms

The interest rate on the Credit Facility is based on either the LIBOR/Eurocurrency rate of 1-, 2-, 3- or 6-month maturity plus a lender designated spread, or the bank’s Prime rate, which re-prices daily. Principal amounts of loans made under the Credit Facility that are prepaid may be re-borrowed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth under the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2011, the Company has no outstanding borrowings under the acquisition facility, as all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility have been repaid during the second quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the acquisition facility totaled $500 thousand, with an effective interest rate of 3.25%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 3.29% and 3.25% for the respective three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; and was 3.27% and 3.25% for the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Warehouse facility

To hold the assets under the Warehousing Facility prior to allocation to specific investor programs, a Warehousing Trust has been entered into by the Company, AFS, ALC, and certain of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies. The Warehousing Trust is used by the Warehouse Facility borrowers to acquire and hold, on a short-term basis, certain lease transactions that meet the investment objectives of each of such entities. Each of the leasing programs sponsored by AFS and ALC currently in its acquisition stage is a pro rata participant in the Warehousing Trust, as described below. When a program no longer has a need for short term financing provided by the Warehousing Facility, it is removed from participation, and as new leasing investment entities are formed by AFS and ALC and commence their acquisition stages, these new entities are added.

As of June 30, 2011, the investment program participants were the Company, ATEL Capital Equipment Fund XI, LLC and ATEL 12, LLC. Pursuant to the Warehousing Trust, the benefit of the lease transaction assets, and the corresponding liabilities under the Warehouse Facility, inure to each of such entities based upon each entity’s pro-rata share in the Warehousing Trust estate. The “pro-rata share” is calculated as a ratio of the net worth of each entity over the aggregate net worth of all entities benefiting from the Warehousing Trust estate, excepting that the trustees, AFS and ALC, are both jointly and severally liable for the pro rata portion of the obligations of each of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies participating under the Warehouse Facility. Transactions are financed through this Warehouse Facility only until the transactions are allocated to a specific program for purchase or are otherwise disposed by AFS and ALC. When a determination is made to allocate the transaction to a specific program for purchase by the program, the purchaser repays the debt associated with the asset, either with cash or by means of proceeds of a draw under the Acquisition Facility, and the asset is removed from the Warehouse Facility collateral, and ownership of the asset and any debt obligation associated with the asset are assumed solely by the purchasing entity.

There were no borrowings under the Warehouse Facility as of June 30, 2011.

10. Commitments:

The terms of the Operating Agreement provided that the Managing Member and/or affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees, in addition to the allocations described above, which are more fully described in Section 8 of the Operating Agreement. The additional fees to management include fees for equipment management, administration and resale.

At June 30, 2011, there were commitments to fund investments in notes receivable and to purchase lease assets totaling approximately $3.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. These amounts represent contract awards which may be canceled by the prospective borrower/investee or may not be accepted by the Company.

11. 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.

12. Members’ capital:

A total of 6,182,564 Units and 4,051,543 Units were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, including the 50 Units issued to the Initial Member (Managing Member). The Fund is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 total Units.

The Company has the right, exercisable at the Managing Member’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 Managing Member on terms it determines to be appropriate under given circumstances, in the event that the Managing Member 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.

The Fund’s net income or net losses are to be allocated 100% to the Members. From the commencement of the Fund until the initial closing date, net income and net loss were allocated 99% to the Managing Member and 1% to the initial Other Members. Commencing with the initial closing date, net income and net loss are to be allocated 92.5% to the Other Members and 7.5% to the Managing Member.

Fund distributions are to be allocated 7.5% to the Managing Member and 92.5% to the Other Members. Distributions to the Other Members for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands except Units and per Unit data):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Distributions declared	$	1,237	$	416	$	2,241	$	612
Weighted average number of Units outstanding		5,495,471		1,857,669		4,981,855		1,367,951
Weighted average distributions per Unit	$	0.23	$	0.23	$	0.45	$	0.45

Cash distributions were based on current and anticipated gross revenues from the leases and loans acquired. During the Fund's acquisition and operating stages, the Fund may incur short term borrowing to fund regular distributions of such gross revenues to be generated by newly acquired transactions during their respective initial fixed terms. As such, all Fund periodic cash distributions made during these stages have been, and are expected in the future to be, based on the Fund's actual and anticipated gross revenues to be generated from the binding initial terms of the leases and loans acquired.

13. 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require measurement at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

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 determines 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 estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon current market rates for similar types of lending arrangements, with adjustments for non-accrual 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 current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Borrowings

Borrowings include the outstanding amounts on the Company’s acquisition facility. The carrying amount of these variable rate obligations approximate fair value based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

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.

Limitations

The fair value estimates presented herein were based on pertinent information available to the Company as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Although the Company is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following table presents 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

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. In particular, the economic recession and changes in general economic conditions, including, fluctuations in demand for equipment, lease rates, and interest rates, may result in delays in investment and reinvestment, delays in leasing, re-leasing, and disposition of equipment, and reduced returns on invested capital. The Company’s performance is subject to risks relating to lessee defaults and the creditworthiness of its lessees. The Company’s performance is also subject to risks relating to the value of its equipment at the end of its leases, which may be affected by the condition of the equipment, technological obsolescence and the market for new and used equipment at the end of lease terms. 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.

Overview

The offering of ATEL 14, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was granted effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission as of October 7, 2009. The offering will continue until the earlier of a period of two years from that date or until sales of Units to the public reach $150 million.

On December 2, 2009, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units (120,000, representing $1,200,000), excluding subscriptions from Pennsylvania investors, had been received and the Fund requested subscription proceeds to be released from escrow. On that date, the Company commenced initial operations and continued in its development stage activities until transitioning to an operating enterprise during the first quarter of 2010. Subsequent non-Pennsylvania capital contributions will be used to fund operations, invest in equipment and real estate, and provide growth capital financing as described in the Company’s S-1 Registration Statement. Pennsylvania subscriptions were subject to a separate escrow to be released to the Fund only when the Fund had received aggregate subscriptions for all investors equal to at least $7.5 million. Total contributions to the Fund exceeded $7.5 million on February 12, 2010, at which time a request was processed to release the Pennsylvania escrowed amounts. The Fund is actively raising capital and, as of June 30, 2011, has received cumulative contributions in the amount of $61.8 million, inclusive of the $500 initial member’s capital investment.

Results of Operations

The three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010

The Company had net losses of $364 thousand and $431 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Results for the second quarter of 2011 reflect an increase in total revenues offset, in part, by an increase in total operating expenses when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $1.3 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher operating lease revenues and increases in interest income on notes receivables and in gain on sales or dispositions of securities.

Operating lease revenues increased by $1.2 million primarily due to the increment of approximately $8.1 million of equipment purchases for operating leases during the second quarter of 2011 and $17.2 million of net equipment purchases made during the nine months following the second quarter of 2010. Interest income on notes receivable increased by $50 thousand due to revenues derived from $574 thousand of loans funded during the second quarter of 2011 and $2.0 million of loans funded during the nine months subsequent to June 30, 2010. Gain on sales or dispositions of securities increased by $34 thousand due to a gain recognized on the 2011 net exercise of warrants associated with shares of a venture company.

Expenses

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $1.2 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was largely due to higher depreciation expense, railcar maintenance costs, acquisition expense, asset management fees to the Manager, costs reimbursed to the Manager and affiliates, bank charges and interest expense.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Depreciation expense increased by $847 thousand largely due to the increment of approximately $8.1 million of equipment purchases for operating leases during the second quarter of 2011 and $17.2 million of net equipment purchases made during the nine months following the second quarter of 2010. The addition of railcars to the lease asset portfolio during August 2010 opened the Fund to expense charges for railcar maintenance. With no railcars in inventory during the first half of 2010, the expenditures of $104 thousand during the current year quarter are 100% incremental. Acquisition expense increased by $80 thousand as a result of approximately $25.4 million of both operating and direct financing leases, and $2.5 million of loans originated and funded since June 30, 2010.

Moreover, asset management fees paid to the Manager increased by $55 thousand mainly due to the increase in managed assets and related rents. Cost reimbursements to the Manager and the Fund’s affiliates was higher by $42 thousand as costs allocated by the Manager increased consistent with the Fund’s expanded operations. Bank charges increased by $40 thousand, reflecting commitment fees associated with the Fund’s line of credit; and, interest expense increased by $39 thousand mainly due to non-recourse debt originated during the fourth quarter of 2010 to fund the acquisition of certain operating lease assets.

As defined by ATEL 14, LLC Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), acquisition expense shall mean expenses including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, and miscellaneous expenses relating to selection and acquisition or financing of portfolio assets, whether or not acquired. Certain acquisition expenses associated with successful lease acquisitions are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease contract.

The six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended June 30, 2010

The Company had net losses of $612 thousand and $726 thousand for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Results for the first half of 2011 reflect an increase in total revenues offset, in part, by an increase in total operating expenses when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues

Total revenues for the first half of 2011 increased by $2.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher operating lease revenues and increases in interest income on notes receivables and in gains recognized on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes receivable.

Operating lease revenues increased by $2.2 million primarily due to income derived from approximately $25.3 million of operating lease assets acquired since June 30, 2010. Interest income on notes receivable increased by $138 thousand due to revenues derived from $2.5 million of loans since June 30, 2010; and, gains recognized on sales of lease assets and early termination of notes increased by $76 thousand primarily as a result of two notes receivable that early terminated during the first quarter of 2011.

Expenses

Total expenses for the first half of 2011 increased by $2.3 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was largely due to higher depreciation expense, railcar maintenance costs, costs reimbursed to the Manager and affiliates, asset management fees to the Manager, interest expense, acquisition expense and bank charges.

Depreciation expense increased by $1.5 million primarily due to the increment of approximately $25.3 million of net equipment purchases for operating leases made since June 30, 2010. The addition of railcars to the lease asset portfolio during August 2010 opened the Fund to expense charges for railcar maintenance. With no railcars in inventory during the first half of 2010, the expenditures of $303 thousand during the first half of 2011 are 100% incremental. Cost reimbursements to the Manager and the Fund’s affiliates was higher by $154 thousand due to increased costs allocated by the Manager consistent with the Fund’s expanded operations.

In addition, asset management fees paid to the Manager increased by $105 thousand mainly due to the increase in managed assets and related rents. Interest expense increased by $81 thousand mainly due to non-recourse debt originated during the fourth quarter of 2010 to fund the acquisition of certain operating lease assets. Acquisition expense increased by $68 thousand as a result of approximately $25.4 million of both operating and direct financing leases, and $2.5 million of loans originated and funded since June 30, 2010; and, bank charges increased by $67 thousand as a result of commitment fees associated with the Fund’s credit facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The liquidity of the Company will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from subscriptions, leases and proceeds of asset sales 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 and proceeds from asset sales.

The Company currently believes it has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate cash requirements and those of the next twelve months, 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.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth summary cash flow data (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

The three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s primary source of liquidity was subscription proceeds from the public offering of Units. As of June 30, 2011, capital contributions, net of rescissions, totaling $61.8 million have been received, of which $12.7 million was received during the second quarter of 2011. Moreover, the Company has begun to realize cash flow from its portfolio of operating lease contracts and its investments in notes receivable.

During the same periods, cash was primarily used to purchase equipment for long-term operating leases and fund investments in notes receivable. Total equipment purchased amounted to $8.1 million and $192 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively; and, total loans funded amounted to $574 thousand and $1.1 million for the same respective periods. In addition, cash was used to pay commissions and syndication costs associated with the offering. Combined, commissions and syndication costs totaled $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $1.3 million for the prior year period. Cash was also used to pay distributions to Other Members and the Managing Member, totaling a combined $1.2 million and $339 thousand for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and to repay outstanding debt and pay invoices related to acquisition expenses and management fees.

The six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended June 30, 2010

As in the first three months of 2011 and 2010, the Company’s primary source of liquidity during the first half of 2011 and 2010 was subscription proceeds from the public offering of Units. Of the $61.8 million in capital contributions, net of rescissions, received though June 30, 2011, an approximate $21.3 million was received during the first half of 2011. In addition, the Company has begun to realize cash flow from its portfolio of operating lease contracts and its investments in notes receivable.

In addition, cash was used to pay commissions and syndication costs associated with the offering and pay distributions to both Other Members and the Managing Member. Combined, commissions and syndication costs totaled $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the respective six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; while distributions totaled a combined $2.2 million and $461 thousand for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash totaling $986 thousand was

TABLE OF CONTENTS

used to repay outstanding debt. Such net amount includes $500 thousand of proceeds received from borrowings under the Fund’s credit facility. By comparison, the Fund only had proceeds from borrowings, totaling $500 thousand, during the prior year period. During the first half of 2011 and 2010, cash was also used to pay invoices related to acquisition expenses and management fees.

During the Fund's acquisition and operating stages, the Fund may incur short term borrowing to fund regular distributions of such gross revenues to be generated by newly acquired transactions during their respective initial fixed terms. As such, all Fund periodic cash distributions made during these stages have been, and are expected in the future to be, based on the Fund's actual and anticipated gross revenues to be generated from the binding initial terms of the leases and loans acquired.

Revolving credit facility

Effective June 15, 2010, the Company participated with AFS and certain of its affiliates in a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a working capital facility to AFS, an acquisition facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) and a warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) to AFS, the Company and affiliates, and a venture facility available to an affiliate with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Facility is for an amount up to $75 million and expires in June 2012. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company amended its Master Borrowing Agreement with respect to the Warehouse Facility to suspend its participation in such Facility while retaining its ability to borrow from time to time under the Acquisition Facility on the condition that it maintains with the lender (subject to certain provisions) cash collateral on deposit in an amount not less than the principal amount of loans outstanding from time to time. At June 30, 2011, the Company has no outstanding borrowings under the acquisition facility. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company again qualified for unrestricted participation under the Warehouse Facility as it was in compliance with all relevant financial covenants.

Compliance with covenants

The Credit Facility includes certain financial and non-financial covenants applicable to each borrower, including the Company. Such covenants include covenants typically found in credit facilities of the size and nature of the Credit Facility, such as accuracy of representations, good standing, absence of liens and material litigation, etc. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2011. The Company considers certain financial covenants to be material to its ongoing use of the Credit Facility and these covenants are described below.

Material financial covenants

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain a specific tangible net worth, to comply with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, and to comply with other terms expressed in the Credit Facility, including limitation on the incurrence of additional debt and guaranties, defaults, and delinquencies. The material financial covenants are summarized as follows:

As of June 30, 2011, the material financial covenants are summarized as follows:

Minimum Tangible Net Worth: $10.0 million
Leverage Ratio (leverage to Tangible Net Worth): Not to exceed 1.50 to 1
Collateral Value: Collateral value under the Warehouse Facility must be no less than the outstanding borrowings under that facility
EBITDA to Interest Ratio: Not to be less than 2 to 1 for the four fiscal quarters just ended

“Tangible Net Worth” is defined as, as of the date of determination, (i) the net worth of the Company, after deducting therefrom (without duplication of deductions) the net book amount of all assets of the Company, after deducting any reserves and other amounts for assets which would be treated as intangibles under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and after certain other adjustments permitted under the agreements.

The financial covenants referred to above are applicable to the Company only to the extent that the Company has borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $10.0 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio was not to exceed 1.50 to 1, and the required minimum interest coverage ratio was not to be less than 2 to 1. The Company was in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

compliance with these financial covenants under the Credit Facility with a minimum Tangible Net Worth, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as calculated per the Credit Facility agreement of $46.3 million, 0.07 to 1, and 18.56 to 1, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. As such, as of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such material financial covenants.

Reconciliation to GAAP of EBITDA

For purposes of compliance with the Credit Facility covenants, the Company uses a financial calculation of EBITDA, as defined therein, which is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. The EBITDA is utilized by the Company to calculate its debt covenant ratios.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):


Net loss – GAAP basis	$	(612	)
Interest expense		81
Depreciation and amortization		1,635
Amortization of initial direct costs		28
Reversal of provision for doubtful accounts		(14	)
Principal payments received on direct financing leases		12
Principal payments received on notes receivable		373
EBITDA (for Credit Facility financial covenant calculation only)	$	1,503

Events of default, cross-defaults, recourse and security

The terms of the Credit Facility include standard events of default by the Company which, if not cured within applicable grace periods, could give lenders remedies against the Company, including the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings and a demand for repayment in advance of their stated maturity. If a breach of any material term of the Credit Facility should occur, the lenders may, at their option, increase borrowing rates, accelerate the obligations in advance of their stated maturities, terminate the facility, and exercise rights of collection available to them under the express terms of the facility, or by operation of law. The lenders also retain the discretion to waive a violation of any covenant at the Company’s request.

The Company is currently in compliance with its obligations under the Credit Facility. In the event of a technical default (e.g., the failure to timely file a required report, or a one-time breach of a financial covenant), the Company believes it has ample time to request and be granted a waiver by the lenders, or, alternatively, cure the default under the existing provisions of its debt agreements, including, if necessary, arranging for additional capital from alternate sources to satisfy outstanding obligations.

The lending syndicate providing the Credit Facility has a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets as collateral for any and all borrowings under the Acquisition Facility, and on a pro-rata basis under the Warehouse Facility.

The Acquisition Facility is generally recourse solely to the Company, and is not cross-defaulted to any other obligations of affiliated companies under the Credit Facility, except as described in this paragraph. The Credit Facility is cross-defaulted to a default in the payment of any debt (other than non-recourse debt) or any other agreement or condition beyond the period of grace (not exceeding 30 days), the effect of which would entitle the lender under such agreement to accelerate the obligations prior to their stated maturity in an individual or aggregate principal amount in excess of 15% of the Company’s consolidated Tangible Net Worth. Also, a bankruptcy of AFS will trigger a default for the Company under the Credit Facility.

Non-Recourse Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had non-recourse long-term debt totaling $3.4 million. Such non-recourse note payable does not contain any material financial covenants. The note is secured by a lien granted by the Company to the non-recourse lender on (and only on) the discounted lease transactions. The lender has recourse only to the following collateral: the specific leased equipment; the related lease chattel paper; the lease receivables; and proceeds of the foregoing items. For detailed information on the Company’s debt obligations, see Notes 8 and 9 to the financial statements as set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Distributions

The Unitholders of record are entitled to certain distributions as provided under the Operating Agreement. The Company commenced periodic distributions beginning with the month of December 2009. Additional distributions have been consistently made through June 30, 2011.

The following table is a summary of cash distributions paid by the Fund to Unitholders of record as of May 31, 2011, and paid through June 30, 2011. Distributions may be characterized for tax, accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital (including escrow interest) or a portion of each. Generally, the portion of each cash distribution by a company which exceeds its net income for the fiscal period would constitute a return of capital. The Fund is required by the terms of its Operating Agreement to distribute the net cash flow generated by its investments in certain minimum amounts during the Reinvestment Period before it can reinvest its operating cash flow in additional portfolio assets. See the discussion in the Prospectus under “Income, Losses and Distributions — Reinvestment.” Accordingly, the amount of cash flow from Fund investments distributed to Unit holders will not be available for reinvestment in additional portfolio assets.

The following table summarizes distribution activity for the Fund from inception through June 30, 2011 (in thousands except for Units and Per Unit Data):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to the financial statements, Summary of significant accounting policies, as set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, which are based upon historical experiences, market trends and financial forecasts, and upon various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that certain point in time. Actual results may differ, significantly at times, from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s Managing Member’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (“Management”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, Management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company does not control the financial reporting process, and is solely dependent on the Management of the Managing Member, which is responsible for providing the Company with financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Managing Member’s disclosure controls and procedures, as applicable to the Company, were effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Changes in internal control

There were no changes in the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Managing Member’s internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Company.
