NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Limited Liability Company matters:

ATEL Capital Equipment Fund X, LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was formed under the laws of the State of California on August 12, 2002 for the purpose of engaging in the sale of limited liability company investment units and acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing, lending and sales activities, primarily in the United States. The managing member of the Company is ATEL Financial Services, LLC (“AFS” or the “Managing Member), a California limited liability company. The Company may continue until December 31, 2022.

The Company conducted a public offering of 15,000,000 Limited Liability Company Units (“Units”), at a price of $10 per Unit. On April 9, 2003, subscriptions for the minimum number of Units (120,000, representing $1.2 million) had been received (excluding subscriptions from Pennsylvania investors) and AFS requested that the subscriptions be released to the Company. On that date, the Company commenced operations in its primary business. As of March 11, 2005, the offering was terminated. As of that date, subscriptions for 14,059,136 Units ($140.6 million) had been received, of which 87,650 Units ($720 thousand) were subsequently rescinded or repurchased (net of distributions paid and allocated syndication costs, as applicable) by the Company through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021, 13,971,486 Units remain issued and outstanding.

The Company’s principal objectives have been to invest in a diversified portfolio of equipment that (i) preserves, protects and returns the Company’s invested capital; (ii) generates regular distributions to the members of cash from operations and cash from sales or refinancing, with any balance remaining after certain minimum distributions to be used to purchase additional equipment during the reinvestment period (“Reinvestment Period”) (defined as six full years following the year the offering was terminated) which ended on December 31, 2011 and (iii) provides additional distributions following the Reinvestment Period and until all equipment has been sold. The Company is governed by the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), as amended. On January 1, 2012, the Company commenced liquidation phase activities pursuant to the guidelines of the Operating Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, AFS receives compensation and reimbursements for services rendered on behalf of the Company (See Note 5). 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.

The Company will pay AFS and affiliates of AFS substantial fees which may result in a conflict of interest. The Company will pay substantial fees to AFS and its affiliates before distributions are paid to investors even if the Company does not produce profits. Therefore, the financial position of the Company could change significantly.

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, ~~2019~~2020, 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 nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Footnote and tabular amounts are presented in thousands except as to Units and per Unit data.

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Managing Member, events that have occurred after ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021, up until the issuance of the financial statements. No events were noted which would require disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and cash equivalent investments such as U.S. Treasury instruments with original and/or purchased maturities of ninety days or less.

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 determination of the allowances for doubtful accounts.

Accounts receivable:

Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under operating lease contracts which are due to the Company. Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based on historical charge off and collection experience and the collectability of specifically identified lessees and borrowers, and invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged off to the allowance on a specific identification basis. Amounts recovered that were previously written-off are recorded as other income in the period received.

Credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places the majority of its cash deposits in noninterest-bearing accounts with financial institutions that have no less than $10 billion in assets. Such deposits are insured up to $250 thousand. The remainder of the Company’s cash is temporarily invested in U.S. Treasury denominated instruments. The concentration of such deposits and temporary cash investments is not deemed to create a significant risk to the Company. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from lessees or borrowers in various industries, related to equipment on operating leases.

Equipment on operating leases and related revenue recognition:

Equipment subject to operating leases is stated at cost. Depreciation is being recognized on a straight-line method over the terms of the related leases to the equipment’s estimated residual values. Off-lease equipment is generally not subject to depreciation. The Company depreciates all lease assets, in accordance with guidelines consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-20-35-3, over the periods of the lease terms contained in each asset’s respective lease contract to the estimated residual value at the end of the lease contract. All lease assets are purchased only concurrent with the execution of a lease commitment by the lessee. Thus, the original depreciation period corresponds with the term of the original lease. Once the term of an original lease contract is completed, the subject property is typically sold to the existing user, re-leased to the existing user, or, when off-lease, is held for sale. Assets which are re-leased continue to be depreciated using the terms of the new lease agreements and the estimated residual values at the end of the new lease terms, adjusted downward as necessary. Assets classified as held-for-sale are carried at the lower of carrying amount, or the fair value less cost to sell (ASC 360-10-35-43).

The Company does not use the equipment held in its portfolio, but holds it solely for lease and ultimate sale. In the course of marketing equipment that has come off-lease, management may determine at some point that re-leasing the assets may provide a superior return for investors and would then execute another lease. Upon entering into a new lease contract, management will estimate the residual value once again and resume depreciation. If, and when, the Company, at any time, determines that depreciation in value may have occurred with respect to an asset held-for-sale, the Company would review the value to determine whether a material reduction in value had occurred and recognize any appropriate impairment. All lease assets, including off-lease assets, are subject to the Company’s quarterly impairment analysis, as described below. Maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s portfolio of leased assets are expensed as incurred. Major additions and betterments are capitalized.

Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases. The initial lease terms will vary as to the type of equipment subject to the leases, the needs of the lessees and the terms to be negotiated, but initial leases are generally on terms from 36 to 120 months. The difference between rent received and rental revenue recognized is recorded as unearned operating lease income on the balance sheet.

Operating leases 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 considers the equipment underlying the lease contracts for impairment and periodically reviews the credit worthiness of all operating lessees with payments outstanding less than 90 days. Based upon management’s judgment, the related operating leases may be placed on non-accrual status. Leases 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 lease payments is probable. Until such time, revenues are recognized on a cash basis. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, provisions for credit losses relating to operating leases are now included in lease income in the Company’s financial statements. Provisions for credit losses prior to January 1, 2019 were previously included in operating expenses in the Company’s financial statements.

Initial direct costs:

Incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are capitalized and amortized over the lease term. All other costs associated with the execution of the Company’s leases are expensed as incurred.

Asset valuation:

Recorded values of the Company’s leased asset portfolio are reviewed each quarter to confirm the reasonableness of established residual values and to determine whether there is indication that an asset impairment might have taken place. The Company uses a variety of sources and considers many factors in evaluating whether the respective book values of its assets are appropriate. In addition, the company may direct a residual value review at any time if it becomes aware of issues regarding the ability of a lessee to continue to make payments on its lease contract. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the residual value of the asset at the end of the asset’s lease contract and undiscounted future rents from the existing lease contract. 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 marketplace 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. Upward adjustments for impairments recognized in prior periods are not made in any circumstances.

Segment reporting:

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment in the ~~United~~North ~~States~~America.

The Company’s principal decision makers are the Managing Member’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The Company believes that its equipment leasing business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss at the equipment portfolio level as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment other than the equipment leasing transaction portfolio; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment other than its equipment financing operations; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services other than equipment lease financing; and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

Investment in securities:

From time to time, the Company may purchase securities of its borrowers or receive warrants to purchase securities in connection with its lending arrangements.

Purchased securities

~~Purchased~~The Company’s purchased securities registered for public sale ~~are carried at fair value. Such securities~~ with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in the Company'’s results of operations. The Company'’s ~~investment~~purchased securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment, and adjusted for changes in observable prices. 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. ~~The~~As ~~Company’s~~of ~~investment~~March ~~securities~~31, ~~totaled~~2021 ~~$44~~and ~~thousand~~December at2020, ~~both~~investments ~~September~~in ~~30,~~equity ~~2020~~securities totaled $969 thousand and ~~December~~$200 31thousand, ~~2019~~respectively. ~~There~~The ~~were~~entire ~~minimal~~amount ~~fair~~at ~~value~~March ~~adjustments~~31, on2021 ~~investment~~reflected the value of securities with readily determinable fair values. ~~for~~By ~~the three and nine months ended September 30~~contrast, ~~2020~~the ~~and~~entire ~~2019.~~value ~~Likewise,~~of ~~during~~investment ~~the~~securities ~~same~~at ~~respective~~December ~~periods~~31, ~~there~~2020 related ~~were no fair value adjustments~~ to ~~investment~~ securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. ~~Cumulatively~~During the first quarter of 2021, the ~~Fund~~Company recorded ~~$98~~unrealized ~~thousand~~gains of ~~adjustments~~$769 thousand to ~~reduce~~reflect the fair market value of ~~such~~a ~~investments~~privately ~~based~~held onsecurity ~~changes~~which converted to a publicly traded security upon completion of the borrower’s initial public offering in ~~observable~~February ~~prices~~2021. ~~Impairment~~There ~~losses~~was no such adjustment during the prior year period.

Per Unit data:

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

Fair value:

Fair value measurements and disclosures are based on a fair value hierarchy as determined by significant inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, 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.

The Company’s valuation policy is determined by members of the Asset Management, Credit and Accounting departments. Whenever possible, the policy is to obtain quoted market prices in active markets to estimate fair values for recognition and disclosure purposes. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, broker quotes, and information from third party remarketing agents, third party appraisals of collateral and/or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by certain of the Company’s assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Potential taxes and other transaction costs are not considered in estimating fair values. As the Company is responsible for determining fair value, an analysis is performed on prices obtained from third parties. Such analysis is performed by asset management and credit department personnel who are familiar with the Company’s investments in equipment, notes receivable and equity securities of venture companies. The analysis may include a periodic review of price fluctuations and validation of numbers obtained from a specific third party by reference to multiple representative sources.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments (“ASU 2020-03”). ASU 2020-03 improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in 2016. ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP that are intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amendments have different effective dates. Management is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and equipment under operating leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, equipment under operating lease, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. Management is currently evaluating the standard and expects the update may potentially result in the increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life adjusted for expected prepayments.

In November 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”). The new standard clarifies certain aspects of the new CECL impairment model in ASU 2016-13. The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of ASC 842, rather than ASC 326. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the financial statements and related disclosure requirements.

On August 15, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would grant certain companies additional time to implement FASB standards on CECL, and hedging. The proposed ASU defers the effective date for CECL to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years; and defers the effective dates for hedging to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The ASU was approved on October 16, 2019. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02 and delayed the effective date of Topic 326 until fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement3. Allowance ~~This ASU modifies disclosure requirements~~ for ~~fair~~credit value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Fund adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. Such adoption did not have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosure requirements.:

5. Related party transactions:

The terms of the Operating Agreement provide that AFS 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 AFS in providing administrative services to the Company. Administrative services provided include Company accounting, finance/treasury, investor relations, legal counsel and lease and equipment documentation. AFS is not reimbursed for services whereby it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such services, such as management of equipment. The Company will be liable for certain future costs to be incurred by AFS to manage the administrative services provided to the Company.

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

Cost reimbursements to the Managing Member are based on its costs incurred in performing administrative services for the Company. These costs are allocated to each managed entity based on certain criteria such as total assets, number of investors or contributed capital based upon the type of cost incurred.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months, ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020, AFS and/or affiliates earned fees and billed for reimbursements, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, as follows (in thousands):

	$	5648	$	6260	$	~~173~~	$	~~235~~

The Company’s Operating Agreement places an annual and cumulative limit for cost reimbursements to AFS and/or its affiliates. Any reimbursable costs incurred by AFS and/or affiliates during the year exceeding the annual and/or cumulative limits cannot be reimbursed in the current year, though such costs may be reimbursable in future years to the extent such amounts may be payable if within the annual and cumulative limits in such future years. The Fund is a finite life and self-liquidating entity, and AFS and its affiliates have no recourse against the Fund for the amount of any unpaid excess reimbursable administrative expenses. The Fund will continue to require administrative services from AFS and its affiliates through the end of its term, and will therefore continue to incur reimbursable administrative expenses in each year. The Fund has determined that payment of any amounts in excess of the annual and cumulative limits is not probable, and the date any portion of such amount may be paid, if ever, is uncertain. When the Fund completes its liquidation stage and terminates, any unpaid amount will expire unpaid, with no claim by AFS or its affiliates against any liquidation proceeds or any party for the unpaid balance. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not exceeded the annual and/or cumulative limitations discussed above.

6. Commitments:

At September 30, 2020, the Company had no commitments to purchase lease assets.

7. Members’ capital:

Units issued and outstanding were 13,971,486 at both ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020. The Company was authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 Units in addition to the Units issued to the initial members (50 Units). The Company ceased offering Units on March 11, 2005.

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’s on terms it determines to be appropriate under given circumstances, in the event that the Managing Member’s 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.

As defined in the Operating Agreement, the Company’s Net Income, Net Losses, and Distributions are to be allocated 92.5% to the Members and 7.5% to AFS. In accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, additional allocations of income were made to AFS for the three months ended at March 31, 2021 and 2020. The amounts allocated were determined to bring AFS’s ending capital account balance to zero at the end of each year.

8. Fair value measurements:

Under applicable accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Such fair value adjustments utilized the following methodology:

Fair value of investment securities at the end of period	$	969	$	—

Such fair value adjustments utilized the following methodology:

Investment in securities (recurring)

The Company’s investment in securities registered for public sale that have readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s investments in publicly traded investment securities are valued based on their quoted market prices. The calculated change in fair value of these investments in securities was deemed nominal for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the guidance provided by the Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions, set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments, are made solely to comply with the requirements of the Financial Instruments Topic and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes.

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts by using market information and valuation methodologies that it considers appropriate and consistent with the fair value accounting guidance. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and cash equivalents

The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because of the liquidity and short-term maturity of these instruments.

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.

Results of Operations

The three months ended ~~September 30~~March 31, 2021 ~~2020~~ versus the three months ended ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2019~~ 2020

The Company had net income of $6760 thousand and $2045 thousand for the respective three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019, respectively~~2020. The ~~results~~higher ~~for~~net ~~the~~income ~~third~~reflects ~~quarter~~a ofsignificant ~~2020~~increase ~~reflect~~in ~~decreases~~other inincome ~~both~~as ~~total~~well ~~revenues~~as ~~and~~an increase in total operating ~~expenses~~revenues ~~when~~offset, ~~compared~~in topart, ~~the~~by ~~prior~~an ~~year~~increase ~~period.~~in total operating expenses.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded other income totaling $769 thousand related to the fair valuation of its investment securities. Such amount represents the fair market value of a privately held security which converted to a publicly traded security upon completion of the borrower’s initial public offering during the current quarter. There was no such income during the first quarter of 2020.

Total operating revenues for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 were $~~260~~313 thousand and $~~332~~282 thousand, respectively. The $7231 thousand, or 2211%, ~~period~~increase ~~over period decline~~ in ~~revenue~~revenues was ~~largely~~a ~~due~~result toof ~~decreases~~an increase in net operating lease revenues, and a decrease in gains recorded on sales of lease assets.

Total operating expenses were $~~254~~322 thousand and $~~312~~237 thousand for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020, respectively. The $5885 thousand, or 1936%, ~~period~~increase ~~over period decline~~ in expenses was primarily due to aincreases ~~$32 thousand decrease~~ in ~~storage fees and a $19 thousand reduction in~~ professional fees, ~~both because of the timing differences in receipt of services~~ and ~~billings.~~railcar ~~The~~maintenance ~~decreases in expenses were partially offset by an $8 thousand increase in depreciation of operating lease assets~~costs. Such increase was primarily a result of an approximate $15 thousand of additional depreciation expense recorded to reflect year-to-date changes in estimated residual values of certain equipment generating revenue under month-to-month extensions.

The nine months end September 30, 2020 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2019

Total revenues were $836 thousand and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $519 thousand, or 38%, period over period decline in revenues were mainly due to decreases in operating leases revenues and other revenue.

Operating lease revenues declined by $394 thousand largely due to run-off, dispositions of lease assets, and increased provision for doubtful accounts, which are reflected as a reduction of operating lease revenues. Other revenue declined by $117 thousand as the prior year period included deferred maintenance fees of the same amount for excess wear and tear on certain equipment returned during the second quarter of 2019. There was no such revenue recorded during the first nine months of 2020.

Total expenses were $798 thousand and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $386 thousand, or 33%, period over period decline in expenses was primarily due to decreases in impairment losses on equipment and cost reimbursements to the Managing Member. These decreases were partially offset by increases in storage fees and depreciation of operating lease assets.

Impairment losses declined by $281 thousand as the prior year period included adjustments of the same amount to reduce the carrying value of certain assets deemed impaired. There were no assets deemed impaired during the first nine months of 2020. Cost reimbursements paid to the Managing Member decreased by $42 thousand due to lower allocated costs reflective of the Fund’s declining assets. These decreases in expenses were partially offset by increases in storage fees and depreciation expense totaling $32 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively. Storage fees increased largely due to a timing difference in receipt of services and billings; and, depreciation expense increased due to an approximate $15 thousand of additional depreciation expense recorded to reflect year-to-date changes in estimated residual values of certain equipment generating revenue under month-to-month extensions.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~ 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~ 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $~~872~~350 thousand and $21.04 million, respectively. The liquidity of the Company varies, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases and proceeds of asset sales exceed expenses and decreasing as distributions are made to Members and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and proceeds from asset sales.

The Company currently believes it has adequate reserves available to meet its immediate cash requirements and those of the next twelve months, but in the event those reserves are found to be inadequate, the Company would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements.

Cash Flows

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, ~~2019~~ 2020. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, ~~2019~~ 2020.

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 ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2020~~2021 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.
