MACQUARIE EQUIPMENT LEASING FUND, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Macquarie Equipment Leasing Fund, LLC ( the “Fund” or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on August 21, 2008 for the purpose of being an equipment leasing program that will acquire a diversified portfolio of equipment, equipment leases and other equipment-related investments. The majority of the equipment is expected to be leased to corporate clients. The Fund’s objective is to generate income through the collection of lease rentals and other revenues, through the sale of leased equipment and through other portfolio investments. The Fund’s fiscal year end is December 31.

The manager of the Fund is Macquarie Asset Management Inc. (the “Manager”), a member of the Macquarie Group of Companies which is comprised of Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide (the “Macquarie Group”). Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Manager earns fees by providing or arranging all services necessary and desirable for the operations of the Fund, including those relating to equipment acquisitions and disposals, asset management and administrative, reporting and regulatory services. Further, the Fund reimburses the Manager for costs incurred for managing the Fund and the Fund’s portfolio of equipment, equipment lease and other equipment-related investments.

The Fund filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement on Form S-1”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2011. The Manager made an initial capital contribution of $5,000. The Manager made additional capital contributions to the fund on March 31, 2010 and June 22, 2010 for $500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. The Fund’s offering period ceased on March 19, 2012 and the operating period commenced.

The initial closing date for the Fund was March 5, 2010, the date at which the Fund raised over $2,500,000 and reached the minimum offering amount. As at March 31, 2012, the Fund has received and accepted cumulative subscriptions for 9,590,116 shares (including the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or “DRP”, shares and net of repurchase of shares) of limited liability company interest (“shares”) for $84,271,577 net of offering costs, including the capital contributions from the Manager.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with one financial institution.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash collected for aircraft maintenance reserves as discussed in Note 4, Leased Equipment at Cost.

Income Taxes

The Fund is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund itself is not subject to federal and state income taxes, while each member will be individually liable for income taxes, if any, on their share of net taxable income from the Fund. Interest, dividends and other income realized by the Fund may be subject to withholding tax in the jurisdiction in which the income is sourced.

Leased Equipment at Cost

Investment in leased equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Leased equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the assets’ residual value. Initial direct cost associated with the leases are included as cost of the component and depreciated over the lease term. The residual values are determined by the Fund’s Manager and are calculated using information from both internal (i.e. from affiliates) and external sources, such as trade publications, auction data, internal sales data, equipment dealers, wholesalers and industry experts, as well as inspection of the physical asset and other economic indicators.

Maintenance reserve

Where the lessee is responsible for maintenance and repairs, including major maintenance events over the term of the lease, the lessee pays additional rentals based on the usage of the equipment. This is recognized as a liability on the Fund’s Balance Sheet. As the maintenance is performed, the lessee is reimbursed for costs incurred up to, but not exceeding, the related additional rentals the Fund receives from the lessee. For each maintenance event, the difference between the liability and reimbursement paid to the lessee is recorded as revenue when management is satisfied that the remaining reserve is considered sufficient to cover future maintenance or repairs. Refer to Note 4, Leased Equipment at Cost for further detail.

Revenue recognition

For finance leases, at inception date, the Fund records the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment at lease termination, the initial direct costs related to the lease and the related unearned income in Net Investment in Finance Lease. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable, plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income in the Statement of Operations over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Fund evaluates the collectability of its receivables by analyzing the counterparties’ payment history, general creditworthiness and current economic trends. The Fund records an allowance when the analysis indicates that the probability of full collection is unlikely. No allowance was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Write offs

The Fund takes write offs when it determines that a receivable is uncollectible and when all economically sensible means of recovery have been exhausted. No write offs were recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Impairments

The significant assets in the Fund’s portfolio are reviewed for impairment at least annually or when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair market value. The Manager’s assessment for impairment includes review of published values for similar assets, recent transactions for similar assets, lease terms, asset condition, adverse changes in market conditions for specific asset types and the occurrence of significant adverse changes in general industry and market conditions that could affect the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance ASU 2011-4, Fair Value Measurements—amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance during the quarter did not have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance ASU 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This new guidance requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update was effective January 1, 2012, and required retrospective application. The Fund does not have other comprehensive income items and therefore, the adoption of this new guidance during quarter did not have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. PARTICIPATING INTEREST (RELATED PARTY)

In March 2010, the Fund entered into a participation agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) a member of the Macquarie Group of companies, to acquire an economic interest of up to 10% ($6,500,000) in a sale leaseback transaction. Pursuant to the participation agreement, the Fund made installment payments to, and will receive monthly payments from, MBL in a manner which mirrors the cash flows arising in connection with the commercial aircraft engines leased by a third party (“the underlying airline”) which are subject to leases of between 51 to 69 months. MBL will pay the Fund approximately 10% (consistent with the investment percentage) of the monthly lease payments received from the third party and approximately 10% of the engine sales proceeds, remaining maintenance reserves and damages and insurance proceeds (collectively referred to as “residual value”), at the end of the lease term when the engines have been successfully remarketed. Under a separate agreement, the Fund shall pay Macquarie Aviation Capital Limited, a member of the Macquarie Group of companies, via its Fund manager, a fee (5% of the lease rental receipts) for the ongoing management of the engines and for the collection and remittance of rentals.

The Fund paid MBL $6,500,000 (approximately 10% of the transaction value). The Fund is entitled to receive cash payments of $57,752 per month and approximately 10% of the residual value. The $6,500,000 investment has been bifurcated on the face of the balance sheet into two assets based upon relative fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance described below:

1) Participating Interest—Engine residual value: Representing the present value of the residual engine value as of the time of investment. The recognition of the asset upon investment is in accordance with ASC 360-10-25 Acquisition of the Residual Value in Leased Asset by a Third Party for an acquisition of the residual value in leased assets by a third party. This asset is tested for impairment as in accordance with ASC 360-10-35 Subsequent Measurement. To date, no losses have been recorded.

2) Participating Interest—Future lease income: Representing the present value of the discounted future cash flows as of each balance sheet date based on the accounting guidance of ASC 470-10-25 Sales of Future Revenues or Various Other Measures of Income.

On September 26, 2011, MBL entered into a conditional sale agreement to sell the engines that the Fund has the participating interest in. The sale was completed on March 29, 30 and 31, 2012. The Fund realized a gain of $1,859,964 from the sale and derecognized the Participating Interest assets. A receivable of $7,299,716 was recorded for the proceeds from the sale. The Fund received payment for the receivable in April, 2012. All agreements with MBL relating to the participating interest have ceased as a result of the sale.

4. LEASED EQUIPMENT AT COST

In March 2011, the Fund entered into an agreement to purchase a 2002 vintage Bombardier CRJ-700ER aircraft (“the Aircraft”). The Aircraft is on lease until April 2014 to an airline which is wholly owned by the Government of India and will be used by the airline for its domestic routes in India. The purchase price for the aircraft, including the estimated initial direct costs was $9,758,734. The Fund also inherited the related maintenance reserve of $1,236,497, which is recorded as a liability on the Balance Sheet. No leverage was used to finance this acquisition by the Fund. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may return or continue to rent the equipment. Rentals of $181,000 are received monthly by the Fund. In addition to the inherited maintenance reserve balance, the Fund is entitled to receive additional rentals based on the usage of the aircraft during the lease term. Cash received for the additional rentals is presented as restricted cash in the Fund’s Balance Sheet and will be used to reimburse the lessee for the maintenance of the aircraft.

In July 2011, the Fund acquired an ETS-364B Test System, an item of semiconductor testing equipment manufactured by Teradyne, Inc. This equipment is on lease to the U.S. subsidiary of a semiconductor manufacturing company headquartered in Germany. The lease is for 36 months and the equipment will be used in the client’s U.S. facilities. The purchase price for the equipment, including the initial direct cost, was $383,898. No leverage was used to finance this acquisition by the Fund. The first rental was $92,729, including an amount of revenue which will be deferred for accounting purposes. For the subsequent monthly rental periods, rentals of $8,211 are to be received by the Fund. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may return the equipment, continue to rent the equipment, or purchase the equipment for its then fair market value. The lease is recorded as an operating lease with rental income recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.

In September 2011, the Fund entered into a sale and assignment agreement with Macquarie Electronics USA Inc. (“MEUI”), a member of the Macquarie group of companies, to acquire semiconductor manufacturing tools of various makes on lease to a major global manufacturer of semiconductor products. The remaining term of the lease is for 10 months and the equipment will be used in the client’s U.S. facilities. The purchase price for the equipment, including the initial direct cost, was $6,400,800. No leverage was used to finance this acquisition by the Fund. The first rental was $699,129, including an amount of revenue which will be deferred for accounting purposes. For the subsequent quarterly rental periods, rentals of $699,129 are to be received by the Fund. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may return the equipment, continue to rent the equipment, or purchase the equipment for its then fair market value. The lease is recorded as an operating lease with rental income recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.

In October 2011, the Fund entered into a sale and leaseback arrangement with a leading Dubai airline over two new CFM56-7B aircraft jet engines (“Engines”) to power the airline’s fleet of 737NG aircraft. The Engines are on lease for a 108 month period. The purchase price for the Engines, including the estimated initial direct costs, was $25,338,321. No leverage was used to finance this acquisition by the Fund. The first engine was delivered in October 2011, and the second engine was delivered in December 2011. Rentals of $186,131 are received monthly by the Fund in U.S. dollars. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may return the Engines, purchase them at their then fair market value, or continue to rent them. Certain maintenance reserves will also accrue to the Fund in the form of two irrevocable Letters of Credit.

The Fund is exposed to risks under these transactions, including risk associated with a leasing client's creditworthiness and risk associated with the future market value of the equipment. Although the Fund currently has no reason to believe that their clients will fail to meet its contractual obligations, a risk of loss to the Fund exists should a client fail to meet its payment obligations under the lease. As at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Fund did not have a reserve for allowance for credit losses for its lease receivables.

A risk of loss or lower than expected returns also exists if the market value of the equipment at the end of the lease term is lower than anticipated.

5. NET INVESTMENT IN FINANCE LEASE

In November 2010, the Fund entered into a lease agreement with a U.S. owner and operator of senior housing and retirement communities, to provide various items of furniture and other related equipment for use in model display apartments and office equipment for use in the administrative offices. To date, $1,012,843 has been purchased which is subject to leases of between 36 and 39 months. For the assets acquired and leased out during the year ended December 31, 2011, the quarterly rentals are $5,410, $7,861 and $15,481 and for the asset acquired and leased out during the year ended December 31, 2010, the monthly rental is $21,646. No leverage was used to finance the above acquisitions by the Fund. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may return the equipment, continue to rent the equipment, or purchase the equipment for its then fair market value.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

As discussed in Note 1, the Fund is required to pay fees to the Manager and its affiliates for providing or arranging all services necessary for its operations, including those relating to equipment acquisitions and disposals, asset management and administrative, reporting and regulatory services.

Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (the “dealer manager”), a member of the Macquarie Group of companies, acts as dealer manager for the Fund and manages a group of selling dealers, including other unaffiliated broker dealers.

The Manager and the dealer manager receive fees from the Fund for offering services during the offering period including:

 

   

Selling commission of up to 7% of the offering proceeds from each share sold by the dealer manager or selling dealers, payable to the dealer manager (and re-allowed to unaffiliated selling dealers);

 

   

Due diligence expense reimbursement for detailed and itemized bona fide accountable due diligence expenses, payable to the dealer manager (and re-allowed to unaffiliated selling dealers);

 

   

Dealer manager fees of 3% of the offering proceeds from each share sold, payable to the dealer manager; and

 

   

Organization and offering expense allowance, which varies based upon the actual organization and offering expenses incurred by the Manager and its affiliates and the number of shares sold, payable to the Manager.

The organization and offering expense allowance will not exceed the actual fees and expenses incurred by the Manager or its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s organization and offering and will be calculated as follows:

 

   

up to 2.433% of the offering proceeds from each share sold for the first 3,500,000 shares;

 

   

up to 2.09% of the offering proceeds from each share sold for shares sold that exceed 3,500,000 but amount to 7,500,000 or fewer shares; and

Overview

Macquarie Equipment Leasing Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on August 21, 2008 for the purpose of acquiring a diversified portfolio of equipment and equipment leases. The Fund will also make investments in other equipment-related transactions which will allow it to directly or indirectly participate in the benefits and risks of equipment ownership or usage.

The Fund is offering a total of 15,000,000 Shares for a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain reductions. The Fund is also offering up to 800,000 Shares pursuant to its Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”) at a public offering price of $9.00 per Share. The Fund’s manager, Macquarie Asset Management Inc. (“Manager”), has contributed a total of $1,505,000. The Fund’s fiscal year end is December 31.

The Fund’s offering period ended on March 19, 2012 and the Fund’s operating period commenced on that date. The Fund will continue to make investments in equipment, equipment leases and other equipment-related transactions. As at March 31, 2012, the Fund has received and accepted subscriptions for 9,590,116 shares of limited liability company interest (including the DRP shares and net of repurchase of shares) for $84,271,577 net of offering costs. The subscriptions received include total contributions of $1,505,000 from the Manager, excluding the offering costs. As of May 15, 2012, the Fund has received and accepted cumulative subscriptions for 9,653,595 shares (including the DRP shares and net of repurchase of shares) for $ 84,841,848, net of offering costs.

Recent Transactions

Sale of participating interest (related party)

On September 26, 2011, Macquarie Bank Limited (“MBL”) entered into a conditional sale agreement to sell the engines that the Fund has the participating interest in. The sale was completed on March 29, 30 and 31, 2012. The Fund realized a gain of $1,859,964 from the sale and derecognized the Participating Interest assets. A receivable of $7,299,716 was recorded for the proceeds from the sale. The Fund received payment for the receivable in April, 2012. All agreements with MBL relating to the participating interest have ceased as a result of the sale.

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased by $3,740,571, as compared to quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue was primarily due to finance and rental income on self serve checkout kiosks, furniture and fixture, an aircraft, several semiconductor equipments and aircraft engines which are on lease to various lessees. Also, there is a profit of $1,859,964 on sale of participating interest in the engines.

Total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, increased by $1,168,732, as compared to quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to increase in depreciation recognized on assets purchased for various leases. As a result of the foregoing factors, the net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $2,506,935.

See Statements of Cash Flows included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

At March 31, 2012, the Fund had cash and cash equivalents of $31,610,243. The increase from cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to cash generated from finance and rental income. Cash from financing activities increased primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of shares during the quarter offset by payment of offering costs and distributions to the members.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Until offering proceeds are used for the acquisition or operation of the Fund’s portfolio, the offering proceeds will be held in an operating account at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our offering period ended on March 19, 2012 at which time our operating period commenced. As at March 31, 2012, the Fund has received and accepted cumulative subscriptions for 9,590,116 shares (including the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or “DRP”, shares and net of repurchase of shares) of limited liability company interest (“shares”) for $84,271,577 net of offering costs, including the capital contributions from the Manager. We raised less than the maximum $157,200,000 in total capital in the period from the inception of the Fund to the end of our offering period. The rate of our capital raising was initially impacted by poor general economic conditions in the U.S., which produced a number of consequential industry effects which further dampened our rate of capital raising. We believe that this amount is sufficient to meet our investment objectives.

As at March 31, 2012, we sold 9,590,116 shares (including the DRP shares and net of repurchase of shares), representing $84,271,577 of capital contributions, net of offering costs. For the period from the commencement of our operations on March 5, 2010 through March 31, 2012, we have paid or accrued sales commissions to third parties of $6,984,888, dealer manager commissions to Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. of $2,342,818 and due diligence expense to Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. of $48,377. In addition, organization and offering expenses of $2,148,150 were paid or incurred by us to our Manager or its affiliates during this period.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash generated from our financing activities was our most significant source of liquidity during our offering period. We believe that cash generated from our financing activities (from debt borrowings), as well as the expected results of our operations, will be sufficient to finance our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including distributions to our members, new investment opportunities, management fees, equipment maintenance events and administrative expense reimbursements. Our ability to generate cash in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that affect us and our lessees’ businesses that are beyond our control.

The Fund’s liquidity may be adversely affected by unanticipated or greater than anticipated operating costs or losses, including the inability of a client of the Fund to make timely lease payments. The Fund anticipates that it will fund its operations from cash flow generated by operating and financing activities. The Manager has no intent to permanently fund any cash flow deficit of the Fund or provide other financial assistance to the Fund.

The Fund also intends to incur indebtedness in purchasing its portfolio. During periods of general illiquidity in financial markets, it may not be possible for the Manager to source debt on the Fund’s behalf at an appropriate interest rate, on appropriate terms, at appropriate levels or at all.

Distributions

The Fund began making monthly cash distributions on April 15, 2010. We paid cash distributions to our members in the amount of $979,791, net of DRP, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

While the Fund anticipates making monthly cash distributions, it may vary the amount of, or completely suspend making distributions at any time and without notice.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Other than obligations associated with our investing activities or as set forth in our Operating Agreement, we have no contractual obligations and commitments, contingencies or off-balance sheet transactions at March 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounting Policies, Accounting Changes and Future Application of Accounting Standards

See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”, in our consolidated financial statements in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q for financial information and further discussions, for a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, including a discussion of recently adopted and issued accounting pronouncements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the direction and with the participation of our Manager’s President and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Manager’s President and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
