NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VII, LP (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 14, 2008. The Partnership offered for sale up to 2,500,000 units of limited partnership interest at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the “offering”). The Partnership reached the minimum amount in escrow and commenced operations on March 31, 2010. The offering terminated on November 22, 2011 with 1,572,900 units sold for a total of approximately $31,432,000 in limited partner contributions.

The Partnership uses the proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and lease various types of computer information technology, medical technology, telecommunications technology, inventory management 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 computer 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 General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC. CCC is a member of the Investment Program Association (IPA), REISA, Financial Planning Association (FPA), and the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA). 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 or extended pursuant to the terms of its Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership will continue until December 31, 2021.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2014 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as of December 31, 2014 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. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2015.

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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Partnership’s long-term 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 June 30, 2015, cash was held in two bank accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $4,243,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At June 30, 2015, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At June 30, 2015	Amount
Total bank balance	$	4,243,000
FDIC insured		(250,000	)
Uninsured amount	$	3,993,000

The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2015 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements- Transition guidance varies based on the amendments in this Update. The amendments in this Update that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon the issuance of this Update. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis- Effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this Update using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. Effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

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, 2017, 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. This was adopted January 1, 2015, however there were no discontinued operations during the six months ended, June 30, 2015.

3. Information Technology, Medical Technology, Telecommunications Technology, Inventory Management 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 will be 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 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the partnership incurred remarketing fees of $300 and $0, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no remarketing fees paid with cash or netted against receivables due from such parties.

In December 2014, a significant lessee, ALSC, breached its Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) scheduled to terminate in December 2015 and defaulted on its lease payments for equipment shared by the Partnership and other affiliated Funds. On December 4, 2014, ALSC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On April 2, 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a settlement agreement with the parent company of ALSC for $3,500,000. The Partnership’s share of this settlement was approximately $1,051,000 of which $860,000 was recorded as a gain on termination of leases in the second quarter of 2015. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the release of all equipment leased to ALSC under the MLA to the Partnerships. In January 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of the equipment to Medshare Technologies for approximately $3,400,000. The Partnership’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately $1,031,000

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated companies and partnerships (“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 companies based on certain risk factors.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at June 30, 2015 was approximately $9,003,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at June 30, 2015 was approximately $1,368,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at June 30, 2015 was approximately $21,421,000. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at June 30, 2015 was approximately $2,974,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2014 was approximately $9,003,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2014 was approximately $1,798,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2014 was approximately $21,421,000. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2014 was approximately $3,927,000.

As the Partnership and the other programs managed by the General Partner increase their overall portfolio size, 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. Thus, the Partnership expects total shared equipment and related debt to continue to trend higher for the remainder of 2015 as the Partnership builds its portfolio.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rentals on non-cancellable operating leases at June 30, 2015:

	Amount
Six months ended December 31, 2015	$	2,116,000
Year ended December 31, 2016		2,397,000
Year ended December 31, 2017		649,000
Year ended December 31, 2018		30,000
	$	5,192,000

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Partnership sold equipment held under operating leases as a result of an early buyout. The lessee that purchased the equipment, as a part of the terms of the sale agreement, paid the Partnership the future rentals due at the time of the sale. The lessee paid approximately $245,000 in future rentals due. The net book value of the equipment sold was approximately $335,000. The net loss on the sale of equipment was approximately $207,000.

Finance Leases:

The following lists the components of the net investment in direct financing leases at June 30, 2015:

	Amount
Total minimum lease payments to be received	$	444,000
Initial Direct Costs		14,000
Estimated residual value of leased equipment (unguaranteed)		65,000
Less: unearned income		(45,000)
Net investment in direct finance leases	$	478,000

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 and their payment history. 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 finance lease receivables at June 30, 2015:

Risk Level	Percent of Total
Low		-	%
Moderate-Low		38	%
Moderate		-	%
Moderate-High		62	%
High		-	%
Net finance lease receivable		100	%

The Partnership’s share of the net investment in finance leases in which it participates with other partnerships at June 30, 2015 was approximately $187,000 and is included on its balance sheet. The total net investment in finance leases shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at June 30, 2014 was approximately $374,000.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rentals on non-cancelable direct financing leases at June 30, 2015:

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. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the General Partner earned acquisition fees from operating and finance leases of approximately $10,000 and $2,000, respectively. At June 30, 2015, the remaining balance of prepaid acquisition fees was approximately $155,000, which is expected to be earned in future periods.	$	12,000	$	110,000

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.		$	1,000			$	23,000

Equipment management fee
We pay our general partner a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (a) the fees which would be charged by an independent third party in the same geographic market for similar services and equipment or (b) the sum of (i) two percent of gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to full payout net leases which contain net lease provisions and (ii) five percent of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to operating leases. Our general partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, will use its business judgment to determine if a given fee is competitive, reasonable and customary. The amount of the fee will depend upon the amount of equipment we manage, which in turn will depend upon the amount we raise in this offering. Reductions in market rates for similar services would also reduce the amount of this fee we will receive.	$	175,000	$	174,000

Equipment liquidation fee
Also referred to as a "resale fee." With respect to each item of equipment sold by the general partner, we will pay a fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the competitive equipment sale commission or (ii) three percent of the sales price of the equipment. The payment of this fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of (i) a return of their 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. Our general partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, uses its business judgment to determine if a given sales commission is competitive, reasonable and customary. Such fee will be reduced to the extent any liquidation or resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties. The amount of such fees will depend upon the sale price of equipment sold. Sale prices will vary depending upon the type, age and condition of equipment sold. The shorter the terms of our leases, the more often we may sell equipment, which will increase liquidation fees we receive.	$	33,000	$	6,000

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership wrote off fully amortized acquisition and finance fees of approximately $123,000 and $179,000, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership wrote off fully depreciated equipment of approximately $0 and $24,000, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

FINRA

On May 3, 2013, the FINRA Department of Enforcement filed a complaint naming Commonwealth Capital Securities Corp. (“CCSC”) and the owner of the firm, Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott, as respondents; however on October 22, 2013, FINRA filed an amended complaint that dropped the allegations against CCSC and reduced the scope of the allegations against Ms. Springsteen-Abbott. The sole remaining charge was that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott had approved the misallocation of some expenses to certain Funds. Management believes that the expenses at issue include amounts that were proper and that were properly allocated to Funds, and also identified a smaller number of expenses that had been allocated in error, but were adjusted and repaid to the affected Funds when they were identified in 2012. During the period in question, Commonwealth Capital Corp. and Ms. Springsteen-Abbott provided important financial support to the Funds, voluntarily absorbed expenses and voluntarily waived fees in amounts aggregating in excess of any questioned allocations. That Panel ruled on March 30, 2015, that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott should be barred from the securities industry because the Panel concluded that she allegedly misallocated $208,000 of expenses involving certain Funds over the course of three years. Decisions issued by FINRA's Office of Hearing Officers may be appealed to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council (NAC) pursuant to FINRA Rule 9311. Under NASD Rule 1015, an applicant may file a written request for review of the membership decision with the NAC within 25 days after service of the decision. While a panel decision is on appeal, the sanction is not enforced against the individual. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has appealed the Panel’s decision and intends to vigorously challenge it. Upon the findings of the panel, the General Partner has determined that during the 3 months ended June 30, 2015, it will allocate approximately $87,000 of $208,000 in allegedly misallocated expenses back to the affected funds in a good faith payment for the benefit of those funds. The Partnership’s share of the approximate $87,000 allocation is approximately $1,600. An adjustment of approximately $1,600 was made to the Partnership’s June 30, 2015 financial statements resulting in an increase to accounts receivable, Commonwealth Capital Corp. and a reduction of an equal amount to operating expenses. Management believes that resolution of the charge will not result in any material adverse financial impact on the Funds, but no assurance can be provided until the FINRA matter is resolved.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association's (ELFA) Monthly Leasing and Finance Index, which reports economic activity from 25 companies representing a cross section of the $903 billion equipment finance sector, showed their overall new business volume for June was $9.5 billion, up 4% from new business volume in June 2014. Volume was up 34% from $7.1 billion in May. Year to date, cumulative new business volume increased 9% compared to 2014. Receivables over 30 days were 1.1%, unchanged from the previous month and up from 0.9% the same period in 2014. Charge-offs remained at an all-time low of 0.2% for the 16th consecutive month. Credit approvals totaled 79.4% in June, up slightly from 79.2% in May. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was up 5.2% year over year.

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 our 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 amounts, if any. The Partnership monitors lease income receivable to ensure timely and accurate payment by lessees. The Partnership’s Lease Relations department is responsible for monitoring lease income receivable and, as necessary, resolving outstanding invoices.

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 June 30, 2015, the Partnership’s lease portfolio consisted of operating leases and finance leases. For operating leases, lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement.

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 value 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.

Gains or losses from sales of leased and off-lease equipment are recorded on a net basis in the Partnership’s Statement of Operations

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

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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $876,000 (note 3 – ALSC disclosure, default of a significant lessee) and $181,000, respectively.

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 five years. Once an asset comes off lease or is released, 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

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were provided by operating activities of approximately $1,420,000, net proceeds from the sale of equipment held under operating leases of approximately $1,073,000 and payments received from finance leases of approximately $76,000. This compares to the six months ended June 30, 2014 where the primary source of cash was provided by operating activities of approximately $1,433,000, the sale of equipment held under operating leases of approximately $180,000 and payments received from finance leases of approximately $26,000.

Our primary uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were for the purchase of new equipment of approximately $115,000, purchase of finance leases of approximately $33,000 and distributions to partners of approximately $1,336,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our primary uses of cash were for the purchase of new equipment of approximately $1,274,000, purchase of finance leases of approximately $165,000 and distributions to partners of approximately $1,338,000.

Cash was provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of approximately $1,420,000, including a net loss of approximately $77,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $2,595,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $988,000 and bad debt expense of approximately $105,000. This compares to the six months ended June 30, 2014 where cash was provided by operating activities of approximately $1,433,000, and includes a net loss of approximately $663,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $3,039,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $845,000.

As we continue to increase the size of our equipment portfolio, operating expenses will increase, which reflects the administrative costs of servicing the portfolio, but because of our investment strategy of leasing equipment primarily through triple-net leases, we avoid operating expenses related to equipment maintenance or taxes.

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

Capital expenditures are expected to increase overall and distributions to remain constant for the remainder of 2015 as management focus is on additional equipment acquisitions and funding limited partner distributions. We intend to invest approximately $8,000,000 or more during the remainder of 2015, depending on the availability of investment opportunities.

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less. At June 30, 2015, cash was held in two bank accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $4,243,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000. At June 30, 2015, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At June 30, 2015	Amount
Total bank balance	$	4,243,000
FDIC insured		(250,000	)
Uninsured amount	$	3,993,000

The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2015 due to many factors, including the pace of cash receipts, equipment acquisitions and distributions to limited partners.

As of June 30, 2015, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $2,116,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2015 and approximately $3,076,000 thereafter.

As of June 30, 2015, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable finance leases of approximately $76,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2015 and approximately $368,000 thereafter.

As of June 30, 2015, our non-recourse debt was approximately $2,691,000 with interest rates ranging from 1.6% through 4.85% and is payable through March 2018.

In December 2014 a significant lessee, ALSC, breached its Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) scheduled to terminate in December 2015 and defaulted on its lease payments for equipment shared by the Partnership and other affiliated Funds. The MLA had an original equipment purchase price of approximately $10,000,000 and was scheduled to terminate in January 2016. The Funds had received approximately $6,300,000 in scheduled lease payments prior to the December 2014 default. Additionally, in January 2015, Commonwealth, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of the equipment to Medshare Technologies for approximately $3,400,000. The Partnership’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately $1,031,000. Approximately $508,000 has been received during six months ended June 30, 2015. On April 2, 2015, Commonwealth reached a settlement agreement with the parent company of ALSC for $3,500,000. The Partnership’s share was approximately $1,051,000 of which $860,000 was recorded as a gain on termination of leases in the second quarter of 2015.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to three months ended June 30, 2014

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue increased to approximately $2,113,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $1,621,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Partnership had 127 and 118 active operating leases that generated lease revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively. This increase in lease revenue is primarily due to a gain on termination of leases of approximately $860,000 from the parent company of ALSC (note 3 – ALSC disclosure, default of a significant lessee). Management expects to continue to add new leases to the Partnership’s portfolio throughout 2015. We expect increases in portfolio size to increase aggregate lease revenue.

Sale of Equipment

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Partnership sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $5,000 for a net gain of approximately $26,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Partnership had no equipment sales.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting, tax and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership. These expenses increased to approximately $332,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $330,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily due to an increase in “Other LP” expenses charged by CCC for the administration of the Partnership, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees.

Equipment Management Fee

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 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 total equipment management fee increased to approximately $106,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is consistent with the increase in lease revenue. As more equipment is acquired to the Partnership’s equipment portfolio, management fees are expected to increase throughout the remainder of 2015 as our equipment and lease portfolio grows.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $1,235,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $1,505,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due to the higher frequency in the termination of leases and equipment being fully depreciated as compared to the acquisition of new leases for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized revenue of approximately $2,148,000 and expenses of approximately $1,810,000, resulting in net income of approximately $338,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized revenue of approximately $1,627,000 and expenses of approximately $1,946,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $319,000. This net income (loss) is primarily due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to six months ended June 30, 2014

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $3,467,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $3,481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Partnership had 133 and 123 active operating leases that generated lease revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Overall active leases increased while overall revenue decreased. This decrease is primarily due to a default of a significant lessee (note 3 – ALSC disclosure) and the extension of lease agreements at reduced rental rates. Management expects to continue to add new leases to the Partnership’s portfolio throughout 2015. We expect increases in portfolio size to increase aggregate lease revenue.

Sale of Equipment

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Partnership sold equipment, held under operating leases, with a net book value of approximately $988,000 for a net gain of approximately $86,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Partnership sold equipment, held under operating leases, with a net book value of approximately $381,000 for a net loss of approximately $201,000. The increase in gain during the six months ended June 30, 2015, is primarily as a result of an asset purchase agreement (note 3 – ALSC disclosure). The increase in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to an early buyout by a lessee.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting, tax and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership. These expenses increased to approximately $707,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $705,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily due to an increase in “Other LP” expenses charged by CCC for the administration of the Partnership, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees.

Equipment Management Fee

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 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 total equipment management fee remained constant at approximately $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Although lease revenue declined slightly for the period, equipment management fees remained unchanged due to rounding. As more equipment is acquired to the Partnership’s equipment portfolio, management fees are expected to increase throughout the remainder of 2015 as our equipment and lease portfolio grows.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $2,595,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $3,039,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due to the higher frequency in the termination of leases and equipment being fully depreciated as compared to the acquisition of new leases for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net Loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized revenue of approximately $3,568,000 and expenses of approximately $3,645,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $77,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized revenue of approximately $3,501,000 and expenses of approximately $4,164,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $663,000. This net loss is primarily 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 June 30, 2015, 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 second quarter of 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.
