Guarantees	NOTE 13—GUARANTEES The Company arranges equipment leases and other financings for its customers.

NOTE 13—GUARANTEES

The Company arranges equipment leases and other financings for its customers. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases the Company may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. In such situations, the Company ensures that the transaction between the independent leasing company and the end user customer represents a sales-type lease. The Company monitors the payment status of the lessee under these arrangements and provides a contingency reserve in situations when collection of the lease payments is not probable. At December 31, 2011, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse and guarantee provisions was $3,638,000. A reserve for estimated losses under recourse provisions of $203,000 and $818,000 has been recorded based on historical experience and is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company as guarantor will recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantees. The Company has recorded a net liability of $27,000 and $47,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for the estimated fair value of the Company's guarantees. The fair value of the guarantees is determined based on the estimated cost for a customer to obtain a letter of credit from a bank or similar institution. This liability is reduced on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective guarantee. In most cases, if the Company is required to fulfill its obligations under the guarantee, it has the right to repossess the equipment from the customer. It is not practicable to estimate the approximate amount of proceeds that would be generated from the sale of these assets in such situations.
