NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in May 2003. The Partnership offered for sale up to 1,250,000 units of the limited partnership at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the “offering”). The Partnership reached the minimum amount in escrow and commenced operations on March 14, 2005. As of February 24, 2006, the Partnership was fully subscribed.

The Partnership used the proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and lease various types of information technology, medical technology, telecommunications technology, inventory management equipment and other similar capital equipment, which is leased primarily to U.S. corporations and institutions.

Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”), on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocate a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships that it manages based on certain risk factors.

The Partnership’s investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment. Information technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to do so. Technological advances have permitted reductions in the cost of information technology processing capacity, speed, and utility. In the future, the rate and nature of equipment development may cause equipment to become obsolete more rapidly. The Partnership also acquires high technology medical, telecommunications and inventory management equipment. The Partnership’s general partner will seek to maintain an appropriate balance and diversity in the types of equipment acquired. The market for high technology medical equipment is growing each year. Generally, this type of equipment will have a longer useful life than other types of technology equipment. This allows for increased re-marketability, if it is returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.

The Partnership’s General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC. Approximately ten years after the commencement of operations, the Partnership intends to sell or otherwise dispose of all of its equipment, make final distributions to partners, and to dissolve. Unless sooner terminated, the Partnership will continue until February 4, 2017.

The General Partner continues to suspend distributions, as part of an aggressive work out plan of reinvestment and recovery for lost equity experienced during the litigation process with Mobile Pro/City of Tempe. The General Partner will reassess the funding of limited partner distributions on a quarterly basis, throughout 2014.

The General Partner and CCC will also determine if related party payables owed to them by the Partnership may be deferred (if deemed necessary) in an effort to increase the Partnership’s cash flow.

The General Partner and CCC have committed to fund, either through cash contributions and/or forgiveness of indebtedness, any necessary operational cash shortfalls of the Partnership through September 30, 2015. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2014 and will continue to waive certain fees if the General Partner determines it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership may attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.  Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions: the acquisition of lease equipment through financing.  This strategy allows the General Partner to acquire additional revenue generating leases without the use of investor funds thus maximizing overall return.  Through September 30, 2014, the Partnership has acquired approximately $262,000 in equipment, of which approximately $210,000 is leveraged.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2013 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. For further information regarding the Partnership’s accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and related notes included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2014.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment was necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Partnership’s debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates. The Partnership classifies the fair value of its notes payable within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the observable inputs used to estimate fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less.

At September 30, 2014, cash was held in two accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $53,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At September 30, 2014, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At September 30, 2014		Amount
Total bank balance		$	53,000
FDIC insured			(53,000	)
Uninsured amount		$	-

The Partnership’s bank balances are fully insured by the FDIC. The Partnership deposits its funds with a Moody's Aaa-Rated banking institution which is one of only three Aaa-Rated banks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amount in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2014 due to many factors, including cash receipts, interest rates and equipment acquisitions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, requires management to determine whether substantial doubt exists regarding the entity’s going concern presumption.  If substantial doubt exists but is not alleviated by management’s plans, the footnotes must specifically state that “there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.”  In addition, if substantial doubt exists, regardless of whether such doubt was alleviated, entities must disclose (a) principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans, if any); (b) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations; and (c) management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, or that did alleviate substantial doubt, about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  If substantial doubt has not been alleviated, these disclosures should become more extensive in subsequent reporting periods as additional information becomes available.  In the period that substantial doubt no longer exists (before or after considering management’s plans), management should disclose how the principal conditions and events that originally gave rise to substantial doubt have been resolved.  The ASU applies prospectively to all entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and to annual and interim periods thereafter.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures).  The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 (“ASU Updated 2014-08”), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU provides guidance on the change in criteria established to enhance the presentation of reporting discontinued operations. The guidance is effective for annual financial statements beginning on or after December 15, 2014 that report discontinued operations or disposals of components of an entity. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-06 (“ASU Updated 2014-06”), Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms. This ASU provides updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification established in September 2009 as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB. The update is effectively immediately upon issuance. The Partnership adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2014 and there was no material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07 (“ASU Updated 2013-07”), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This ASU provides guidance on the application of the liquidation basis of accounting as provided by U.S. GAAP. The guidance will improve the consistency of financial reporting for liquidating entities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements during the liquidation phase of its life cycle.

3. Information Technology, Medical Technology, Telecommunications Technology, Inventory Management Equipment and other Business-Essential Capital Equipment (“Equipment”)

The Partnership is the lessor of equipment under operating leases with periods that generally will range from 12 to 48 months. In general, associated costs such as repairs and maintenance, insurance and property taxes are paid by the lessee.

Remarketing fees are paid to the leasing companies from which the Partnership purchases leases. These are fees that are earned by the leasing companies when the initial terms of the lease have been met. The General Partner believes that this strategy adds value since it entices the leasing company to remain actively involved with the lessee and encourages potential extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment. This strategy is designed to minimize any conflicts the leasing company may have with a new lessee and may assist in maximizing overall portfolio performance. The remarketing fee is tied into lease performance thresholds and is a factor in the negotiation of the fee. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with lease extensions are accounted for as operating costs. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with the sale of equipment are included in the gain or loss calculations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership did not incur or pay any remarketing fees.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership incurred approximately $3,000 in such fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $19,000 were paid or netted against receivables due from such parties.  

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated partnerships, acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships based on certain risk factors.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at September 30, 2014 was approximately $4,857,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at September 30, 2014 was approximately $12,232,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at September 30, 2014 was approximately $513,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at September 30, 2014 was approximately $1,526,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2013 was approximately $5,290,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2013 was approximately $13,546,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2013 was approximately $688,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2013 was approximately $1,814,000.

As the Partnership and the other programs managed by the General Partner continue to acquire new equipment for the portfolio, opportunities for shared participation are expected to continue. Sharing in the acquisition of a lease portfolio gives the fund an opportunity to acquire additional assets and revenue streams, while allowing the fund to remain diversified and reducing its overall risk with respect to one portfolio.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rentals on non-cancellable operating leases at September 30, 2014:

		Amount
Three Months ended December 31, 2014		$	243,000
Year ended December 31, 2015			520,000
Year ended December 31, 2016			221,000
Year ended December 31, 2017			29,000
		$	1,013,000

The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on February 4, 2017. If the Partnership terminates on February 4, 2017, CCC will assume the rights to the remaining active leases and their related remaining revenue stream through their termination.

The following lists the components of the net investment in direct financing leases at September 30, 2014:

		Amount
Total minimum lease payments to be received		$	76,000
Estimated residual value of leased equipment (unguaranteed)			10,000
Less: unearned income			(11,000)
Net investment in direct finance leases		$	75,000

Our finance lease customers operate in various industries, and we have no significant customer concentration in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers, including those that lease under finance leases. This credit risk is assessed using an internally developed model which incorporates credits scores from third party providers and our own customer risk ratings and is periodically reviewed. Our internal ratings are weighted based on the industry that the customer operates in. Factors taken into consideration when assessing risk includes both general and industry specific qualitative and quantitative metrics. We separately take in to consideration payment history, open lawsuits, liens and judgments. Typically, we will not extend credit to a company that has been in business for less than 5 years or that has filed for bankruptcy within the same period. Our internally based model may classify a company as high risk based on our analysis of their audited financial statements. Additional considerations of high risk may include history of late payments, open lawsuits and liens or judgments. In an effort to mitigate risk, we typically require deposits from those in this category. The following table presents the credit risk profile, by creditworthiness category, of our direct finance lease receivables at September 30, 2014:

Risk Level		Percent of Total
Low			-	%
Moderate-Low			-	%
Moderate			100	%
Moderate-High			-	%
High			-	%
Net finance lease receivable			100	%

As of September 30, 2014 we determined that we did not have a need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts associated with any of our finance leases, as the customer payment histories with us, associated with these leases, has been positive, with no late payments.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rentals on non-cancellable finance leases at September 30, 2014:

		Amount
Three Months ended December 31, 2014		$	6,000
Year ended December 31, 2015			23,000
Year ended December 31, 2016			23,000
Year ended December 31, 2017			19,000
Year ended December 31, 2018			5,000
		$	76,000

The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on February 4, 2017. If the Partnership terminates on February 4, 2017, CCC will assume the rights to the remaining active leases and their related remaining revenue stream through their termination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Receivables/Payables

As of September 30, 2014, the Partnership’s related party receivables and payables are short term, unsecured, and non-interest bearing.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership recorded a receivable from CCC of approximately $47,000 related to the SEC settlement as disclosed in Note 7. As of September 30, 2014, the receivable was completely satisfied.

Nine months ended September 30,		2014				2013
Reimbursable expenses
The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement by the Partnership for the cost of goods, supplies or services obtained and used by the General Partner in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership from third parties unaffiliated with the General Partner. In addition, the General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the General Partner waived certain reimbursable expenses due to it by the Partnership.		$	131,000			$	88,000
Equipment acquisition fee
The General Partner earned an equipment acquisition fee of 4% of the purchase price of each item of equipment purchased as compensation for the negotiation of the acquisition of the equipment and lease thereof or sale under a conditional sales contract. At September 30, 2014, all prepaid equipment acquisition fees were earned by the General Partner. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $11,000 and $10,000 of acquisition fees were waived by the General Partner, respectively.		$	-			$	-

Debt placement fee
As compensation for arranging term debt to finance our acquisition of equipment, we will pay the general partner a fee equal to one percent of such indebtedness; provided, however, that such fee shall be reduced to the extent we incur such fees to third parties unaffiliated with the general partner or the lender with respect to such indebtedness. No such fee will be paid with respect to borrowings from the general partner or its affiliates. We intend to initially acquire leases on an all cash basis with the proceeds of this offering, but may borrow funds after the offering proceeds have been invested. The amount we borrow, and therefore the amount of the fee, will depend upon interest rates at the time of a loan, and the amount of leverage we determine is appropriate at the time. We do not intend to use more than 30% leverage overall in our portfolio. Fees will increase as the amount of leverage we use increases, and as turnover in the portfolio increases and additional equipment is purchased using leverage. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the General Partner earned but waived approximately $2,000 and $200 of debt placement fees, respectively.		$	-			$	-

---

Equipment management fee
The General Partner is entitled to be paid for managing the equipment portfolio a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (i) the fees which would be charged by an independent third party for similar services for similar equipment or (ii) the sum of (a) two percent of (1) the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to full payout net leases which contain net lease provisions plus (2) the purchase price paid on conditional sales contracts as received by the Partnership and (b) 5% of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases. In an effort to increase future cash flow for the fund our General Partner had elected to reduce the percentage of equipment management fees paid to it from 5% to 2.5% of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases. The reduction was effective beginning in July 2010 and remained in effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.		$	22,000			$	21,000

Equipment liquidation fee
With respect to each item of equipment sold by the General Partner (other than in connection with a conditional sales contract), a fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the competitive equipment sale commission or (ii) three percent of the sales price for such equipment is payable to the General Partner. The payment of such fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of (i) a return of their net capital contributions and a 10% per annum cumulative return, compounded daily, on adjusted capital contributions and (ii) the net disposition proceeds from such sale in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Such fee will be reduced to the extent any liquidation or resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the General Partner waived approximately $1,000 of equipment liquidation fees.		$	-			$	-

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Allied Health Care Services

As previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management wrote off the fully reserved accounts receivable and fully impaired assets related to the lease to Allied Health Care Services, Inc. (“Allied”), due to the bankruptcy of Allied and the criminal conviction of its founder for fraud. There have been no material changes in the status of Allied’s bankruptcy or in the likelihood of recovering available assets since the date of the Partnership’s annual report. The deadline for the bankruptcy trustee to pursue adversary claims against certain creditors has expired, including extensions. The bankruptcy trustee cannot seek to claim the Partnership's payments received from Allied, therefore the Partnership has no exposure to such potential claims. Commonwealth continues to pursue all of our rights against both Allied and Mr. Schwartz to recover any available assets to the greatest extent possible.

SEC Settlement

In August 2012, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission raised a question with Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“Commonwealth”), the sponsor of our funds, regarding the interpretation and application of the term “control person.” The term affected the scope of the reimbursement to Commonwealth of certain expenses incurred for the funds. The staff was concerned that some investors may not have understood the meaning and methodology used by the funds. Commonwealth worked with the staff to assure that our disclosure was clarified. Commonwealth Income and Growth Fund, Inc., the General Partner of the funds, entered into a settlement with the SEC in September 2013 of approximately $200,000 that is being allocated to several of the Funds. The Partnership’s portion of the settlement is approximately $47,000, which was recorded as a reduction in expenses in the condensed statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 605-50. As of September 30, 2014, the receivable was completely satisfied.  On October 17, 2014, Commonwealth Capital Corp. received a letter from the Miami Regional Office of the SEC confirming that Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. and Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott had satisfied in full the monetary provisions of the Settlement Order entered on September 27, 2013.

FINRA

On May 3, 2013, the FINRA Department of Enforcement filed a complaint naming CCSC and the owner of the firm, Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott, as respondents. The complaint alleges that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott approved misallocation of certain expenses to the funds. On October 22, 2013, FINRA filed an amended complaint that dropped the allegations against CCSC and reduced the scope of the allegations against Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott. Management believes that the expenses at issue include amounts that were proper and were properly allocated to funds, and expenses that had been allocated in error but were subsequently adjusted and repaid to the affected funds when they were identified. During the period in question, Commonwealth Capital Corp. and Ms. Springsteen-Abbott provided support to the funds and voluntarily absorbed expenses and voluntarily waived fees in amounts in excess of any questioned allocations. In May of 2014, an arbitration hearing was conducted before a three member FINRA panel. A decision has not been rendered on this matter. Management believes that resolution of the charge will not result in any adverse financial impact on the Funds, but no assurance can be provided until the proceeding is resolved.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that our critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

See Note 2 to our condensed financial statements included herein for a discussion related to recent accounting pronouncements.

LEASE INCOME RECEIVABLE

Lease income receivable includes current lease income receivable net of allowances for uncollectible accounts, if any. The Partnership monitors lease income receivable to ensure timely and accurate payment by lessees. Its Lease Relations department is responsible for monitoring lease income receivable and, as necessary, resolving outstanding invoices. Lease revenue is recognized on a monthly straight-line basis which is in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement.

The Partnership reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. When the analysis indicates that the probability of full collection is unlikely, the Partnership may establish an allowance for uncollectible lease income receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Partnership writes off its lease income receivable when it determines that it is uncollectible and all economically sensible means of recovery have been exhausted.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Through September 30, 2014, the Partnership’s lease portfolio consisted of operating and finance leases. For operating leases, lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreements.

Finance lease interest income is recorded over the term of the lease using the effective interest method. For finance leases, we record, at lease inception, unearned finance lease income which is calculated as follows: total lease payments, plus any residual values and initial direct costs, less the cost of the leased equipment.

Upon the end of the lease term, if the lessee has not met the return conditions as set out in the lease, the Partnership is entitled, in certain cases, to additional compensation from the lessee. The Partnership’s accounting policy for recording such payments is to treat them as revenue.

Gain or losses from sales of leased and off lease equipment are recorded on a net basis in the Fund’s condensed Statement of Operations. Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gains from lease termination included in lease revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $9,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership did not recognize any gain from the termination of leases.

Our leases do not contain any step-rent provisions or escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any index.

17

---

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Depreciation on equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to four years. Once an asset comes off lease or is re-leased, the Partnership reassesses the useful life of an asset.

The Partnership evaluates its long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Partnership determines whether impairment exists by estimating the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by each asset. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset then impairment exists. The amount of the impairment is determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset.

Residual values are determined by management and are calculated using information from both internal and external sources, as well as other economic indicators.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were provided by operating activities of approximately $90,000 and proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $25,000. This compares to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 where our primary sources of cash were provided by operating activities of approximately $195,000 and proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $33,000.

Our primary uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were for the purchase of new equipment of approximately $53,000, and the purchase of finance leases of approximately $51,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our primary uses of cash were for the purchase of new equipment of approximately $223,000, payments on payable to Affiliate of approximately $105,000 and for the purchase of finance leases of approximately $31,000.

As we continue to acquire equipment for the equipment portfolio, operating expenses may increase, but because of our investment strategy of leasing equipment primarily through triple-net leases, we avoid operating expenses related to equipment maintenance or taxes.

Cash was provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of approximately $90,000, which includes a net loss of approximately $71,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $769,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease and income by lessees to banks of approximately $507,000. Additionally we had a gain on the sale of equipment in the amount of approximately $17,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash was used in operating activities of approximately $195,000, which includes a net income of approximately $3,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $802,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $434,000 and bad debt recovery of approximately $19,000. Additionally we had a gain on the sale of equipment in the amount of approximately $16,000.

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less.

At September 30, 2014, cash was held in two accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $53,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At September 30, 2014, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At September 30, 2014		Amount
Total bank balance		$	53,000
FDIC insured			(53,000	)
Uninsured amount		$	-

18

---

The Partnership’s bank balances are fully insured by the FDIC. The Partnership deposits its funds with a Moody's Aaa-Rated banking institution which is one of only three Aaa-Rated banks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amount in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2014 due to many factors, including cash receipts, interest rates and equipment acquisitions.

Our investment strategy of acquiring equipment and generally leasing it under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet specified financial standards minimizes our operating expenses. As of September 30, 2014, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $243,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2014 and approximately $770,000 thereafter.  As of September 30, 2014, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable finance leases of approximately $6,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2014 and approximately $70,000 thereafter.

During June 2013, CCC, on behalf of the Partnership, negotiated a settlement with a significant lessee related to the buy-out of several operating leases. The Partnership received consideration of approximately $68,000 as a result of the settlement.

As of September 30, 2014, our non-recourse debt was approximately $690,000, with interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 5.60%, and will be payable through May 2017.

Our cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and distributions to Partners during the next 12-month period. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover our expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, we will attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within our permissible limits. The General Partner continues to suspend distributions, as part of an aggressive work out plan of reinvestment and recovery for lost equity experienced during the litigation process with Mobile Pro/City of Tempe. The General Partner will reassess the funding of limited partner distributions on a quarterly basis, throughout 2014. The General Partner and CCC will also determine if related party payables owed to them by the Partnership may be deferred (if deemed necessary) in an effort to increase the Partnership’s cash flow.

 

The General Partner and CCC have committed to fund, either through cash contributions and/or forgiveness of indebtedness, any necessary operational cash shortfalls of the Partnership through September 30, 2015. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2014 and will continue to waive certain fees if the General Partner determines it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership may attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.  Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions; the acquisition of lease equipment through financing.  This strategy allows the General Partner to acquire additional revenue generating leases without the use of investor funds, thus maximizing overall return. Through September 30, 2014, the Partnership has acquired approximately $262,000 in equipment, of which approximately $210,000 is leveraged.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to three months ended September 30, 2013

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue increased to approximately $280,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of new lease agreements and the associated increase in lease revenue.

The Partnership had 90 and 82 operating leases during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the amount of active leases is consistent with the overall increase in lease revenue. Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout the remainder of 2014, funded primarily through debt financing.

Sale of Equipment

We sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, for a net gain of approximately $17,000. This compared to equipment that we sold for the three months ended September 30, 2013 with a net book value of approximately $8,000, for a net gain of approximately $1,000.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership.  These expenses increased to approximately $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees as a result of a FINRA review.

SEC Restitution Settlement

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership recorded approximately $47,000 related to the SEC settlement as a reduction in expenses and corresponding receivable from the General Partner in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The matter was settled in September 2013 with the General Partner neither admitting nor denying the findings. The Partnership’s portion of the settlement is approximately $47,000, which was recorded as a reduction in expenses in the condensed statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 605-50.  As of September 30, 2014, the receivable was completely satisfied.

Equipment Management Fees

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 2.5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases and 2% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to finance leases. The equipment management fee was approximately $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses increased approximately $254,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $242,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is due to an increase in new equipment acquisitions and the sale of equipment related to a buy-out with a significant lessee during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Net (Loss) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized revenue of approximately $298,000 and expenses of approximately $302,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $4,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized revenue of approximately $265,000 and expenses of approximately $224,000, resulting in a net income of approximately $41,000. This change in net (loss) income is due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2013

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue increased to approximately $869,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $857,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The Partnership had 98 and 131 operating leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The number of active leases decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013; however lease revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This is primarily due to an increase in the overall size of the leases acquired during 2014.  Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout the remainder of 2014, funded primarily through debt financing.

 

Sale of Equipment

We sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, for a net gain of approximately $17,000. This compares to equipment that we sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with a net book value of approximately $17,000, for a net gain of approximately $16,000.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership. These expenses increased to approximately $143,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $88,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees as a result of a FINRA review.

SEC Restitution Settlement

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership recorded approximately $47,000 related to the SEC settlement as a reduction in expenses and corresponding receivable from the General Partner in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The matter was settled in September 2013 with the General Partner neither admitting nor denying the findings. The Partnership’s portion of the settlement is approximately $47,000, which was recorded as a reduction in expenses in the condensed statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 605-50.  As of September 30, 2014, the receivable was completely satisfied.

Equipment Management Fees

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 2.5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases and 2% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to finance leases. The equipment management fee increased to approximately $22,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $21,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is consistent with the increase in overall lease revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $770,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $802,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease is due an increase in the amount of equipment that is fully depreciated during 2014 and the sale of equipment related to a buy-out with a significant lessee during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and partially offset by new equipment acquisitions.

21

---

Net (Loss) Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized revenue of approximately $892,000 and expenses of approximately $964,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $72,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized revenue of approximately $890,000 and expenses of approximately $887,000, resulting in a net income of approximately $3,000. This change in net (loss) income is due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures related to our reporting and disclosure obligations as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to us which is required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Allied Health Care Services

As previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management wrote off the fully reserved accounts receivable and fully impaired assets related to the lease to Allied Health Care Services, Inc. (“Allied”), due to the bankruptcy of Allied and the criminal conviction of its founder for fraud. There have been no material changes in the status of Allied’s bankruptcy or in the likelihood of recovering available assets since the date of the Partnership’s annual report. The deadline for the bankruptcy trustee to pursue adversary claims against certain creditors has expired, including extensions. The bankruptcy trustee cannot seek to claim the Partnership's payments received from Allied, therefore the Partnership has no exposure to such potential claims. Commonwealth continues to pursue all of our rights against both Allied and Mr. Schwartz to recover any available assets to the greatest extent possible.
