PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
GENERAL
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (the “Partnership” or “CIGF5”) was formed on May 19, 2003 under the Pennsylvania Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. 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 raised the minimum capital required ($1,150,000) and commenced operations on March 14, 2005. The Partnership terminated its offering of units on February 24, 2006 with 1,249,951 units ($24,957,862) sold.
During the yearyears ended December 31, 20082011 and 2010 limited partners redeemed 4,099832 and 4,806 units, respectively, of the partnership for a total redemption price of approximately $52,000$5,000 and $41,000, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.
See “The Glossary” below for the definition of selected terms not otherwise defined in the text of this report.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring various types of equipment, including computer Information Technology (I.T.) and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership utilized the net proceeds of the offering to purchase IBM and IBM compatible I.T.information technology and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership has utilized retained proceeds and debt financing (not in excess of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned or subject to conditional sales contracts by the Partnership at the time the debt is incurred) to purchase additional equipment. The Partnership acquires and leases equipment principally to U.S. corporations and other institutions pursuant to operating leases. The Partnership retains the flexibility to enter into full payout net leases and conditional sales contracts, but has not done so.
The Partnership’s principal investment objectives are to:
(a) acquire, lease and sell equipment to generate revenues from operations sufficient
to provide annual cash distributions to Limited Partners;
(b) preserve and protect Limited Partners’ capital;
(c) use a portion of cash flow and net disposition proceeds derived from the sale,refinancing or other disposition of equipment to purchase additional equipment; and
| (d) | (d) refinance, sell or otherwise dispose of equipment in a manner that will maximize the proceeds to the Partnership. |
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ATTAINED
Limited Partners do not have the right to vote on or otherwise approve or disapprove any particular investment to be made by the Partnership.
Although the Partnership generally acquires new equipment, the Partnership may purchase used equipment. Generally, equipment is acquired from manufacturers, distributors, leasing companies, agents, owner-users, owner-lessors, and other suppliers upon terms that vary depending upon the equipment and supplier involved. Manufacturers and distributors usually furnish a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship and some purchase agreements for equipment provide for service and replacement of parts during a limited period. Equipment purchases are also made through lease brokers and on an ad hoc basis to meet the needs of a particular lessee.
As of December 31, 2008,2011, all equipment purchased by the Partnership is subject to an operating lease or an operating lease was already entered into with a third party when the Partnership acquired an item of equipment.lease. The Partnership may also engage in sale/leaseback transactions, pursuant to which the Partnership would purchase equipment from companies that would then immediately lease the equipment from the Partnership. The Partnership may also purchase equipment which is leased under full payout net leases or sold under conditional sales contracts at the time of acquisition or the Partnership may enter into a full payout net lease or conditional sales contract with a third party when the Partnership acquires an item of equipment.
The Partnership may enter into arrangements with one or more manufacturers pursuant to which the Partnership purchases from such manufacturers equipment that has previously been leased directly by the manufacturer to third parties (“vendor leasing agreements”). The Partnership and manufacturers may agree to obtain non-recoursenonrecourse loans to the Partnership from the manufacturers, to finance the acquisition of equipment. Such loans would be secured only by the specific equipment financed and the receivables due to the manufacturers from users of such equipment. It is expected that the manufacturers of equipment will provide maintenance, remarketing and other services for the equipment subject to such agreements. As of December 31, 2008,2011, the Partnership has not entered into any such agreements.agreement.
The General Partner has the discretion, consistent with its fiduciary duty, to change the investment objectives of the Partnership if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Limited Partners and so long as such a change is consistent with the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner will notify the Limited Partners if it makes such a determination to change the Partnership’s investment objectives.

TYPES OF EQUIPMENT
ComputerThe Partnership invests in various types of equipment subject to leases. Our investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment including, but not limited to: servers, desktops, laptops, workstations, printers, copiers, and storage devices. Our General Partner believes that dealing in high technology equipment is particularly advantageous due to a robust aftermarket. Information Technology Equipment. Computer Information Technology (I.T.) equipment consists of devices used to convey information into and out of a central processing unit (or “mainframe”) of a computer system, such as tape drives, disk drives, tape controllers, disk controllers, printers, terminals and related control units, all of which are in some way related to the process of storing, retrieving, and processing information by computer.
Computer technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to do so. Technological advances have permitted continued reductions in the cost of computer processing capacity, thereby permitting applications not economically feasible a few years ago. Muchspeed, and utility. In the future, the rate and nature of equipment development may cause equipment to become obsolete more rapidly.
We also acquire high technology medical, telecommunications, and inventory management equipment. Our General Partner will seek to maintain an appropriate balance and diversity in the older IBMtypes of equipment acquired. The medical equipment we acquire may consist of ventilators, IV infusion pumps, long-term acute care beds, CT scanners, MRIs, flow cytometers, and IBM compatible computer I.T.other medical technology devices. The telecom equipment has not been retired from service, because software is generally interchangeable between olderwe acquire may include Cisco switches, routers, blade switches, wireless access points, and newer equipment, and oldervideo conferencing systems. The market for high technology medical equipment is capablegrowing each year. Generally, this type of performing many of the same functions as newerequipment will have a longer useful life than information technology equipment. The General Partner believes that historically, values of I.T. equipment have been affected less dramatically by changes in technology than have the values of central processing units. An equipment user who upgrades to a more advanced central processor generally can continue to use his existing I.T. equipment. I.T. equipment neverthelessThis allows for increased re-marketability, if it is subject to declines in value as new, improved models are developed and become available. Technological advances and other factors, discussed below in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, have at times caused dramatic reductions in the market prices of older models of I.T. equipment from the prices at which they were originally introduced.returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.
Other Equipment-Restrictions. The Partnership generally acquires computer I.T equipment such as tape drives, disk drives, tape controllers, disk controllers, printers, terminalsinformation technology, telecommunications, medical technology and related control units, all of which are in some way related to the process of storing, retrieving and processing information by computer.inventory management equipment. The General Partner is also authorized to cause the Partnership to invest in other types of data processing, telecommunication or medical technologybusiness-essential capital equipment. The Partnership may not invest in any of such other types of equipment (i) to the extent that the purchase price of such equipment, together with the aggregate Purchase Pricepurchase price of all such other types of equipment then owned by the Partnership, is in excess of 25% of the total cost of all of the assets of the Partnership at the time of the Partnership’s commitment to invest therein and (ii) unless the General Partner determines that such purchase is in the best economic interest of the Partnership at the time of the purchase and, in the case of non-IBM compatible I.T equipment, that such equipment is comparable in quality to similar IBM or IBM compatible equipment.purchase. There can be no assurance that any equipment investments can be found which meet this standard. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that investments of this type will be made by the Partnership.
DIVERSIFICATION
Diversification is generally desirable to minimize the effects of changes in specific industries, local economic conditions or similar risks. However, the extent of the Partnership’s diversification, in the aggregate and within each category of equipment, depends in part upon the financing which can be assumed by the Partnership or borrowed from third parties on satisfactory terms. The Partnership’s policy not to borrow on a recourse basis will further limit its financing options. Diversification also depends on the availability of various types of equipment. Through December 31, 2008,2011, the Partnership has acquired a diversified equipment portfolio, which it has leased to 2747 different companies located throughout the United States.
The equipment types comprising the portfoliosportfolio at December 31, 20082011 are as follows:
| Equipment Type | Approximate % |
| Servers | 39%40% |
PrintersWorkstations | 3%10% |
| Laptops | 12% |
| Datacom | 6%4% |
WorkstationsMultifunction Centers | 31%9% |

Tape Libraries | 1%10% |
| Audio Visual | 1% |
WifiWiFi | 4%5% |
| Medical | 1% |

| Total | 100% |
During the operational stage of the Partnership, the Partnership may not at any one point in time lease (or sell pursuant to a conditional sales contract) more than 25% of the equipment to a single person or affiliated group of persons.
DESCRIPTION OF LEASES
The Partnership generally purchases only equipment that is subject to a lease or for which a lease or similar agreement will be entered into contemporaneously with the consummation of the Partnership’s acquisition of the equipment. The General Partner leases most of the equipment purchased by the Partnership to third parties pursuant to operating leases. OperatingTypes of leases are relatively short-term (12 to 48 month) leases under which the aggregate noncancellable rental payments during the original term of the lease are not sufficient to permit the lessor to recover the purchase price of the subject equipment. The equipment may also be leased pursuant to full payout net leases. Full payout net leases are leases under which the aggregate noncancellable rental payments during the original term of the lease are at least sufficient to recover the purchase price of the subject equipment. It is anticipated that the Partnership will enter into few, if any, full payout net leases. The General Partner may also enter into are operating leases, finance leases, and conditional sales contracts for equipment. A conditional sales contract generally provides that the noncancellable payments to the seller over the term of the contract are sufficient to recover the investment in such equipment and to provide a return on such investment. Under a conditional sales contract, the seller reserves title to and retains a security interest in, the equipment until the purchase price of the equipment is paid. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership has not entered into any full payout net leases or conditional sales contracts for equipment and does not presently intend to do so.contracts:
| · | Operating leases are relatively short-term (12 to 48 month) leases under which the aggregate noncancellable rental payments during the original term of the lease are not sufficient to permit the lessor to recover the purchase price of the subject equipment. |
| · | In a finance lease, the lessor generally recovers at least 90% of the present value of the equipment during the lease term. |
| · | A conditional sales contract generally provides that the noncancellable payments to the seller over the term of the contract are sufficient to recover the investment in such equipment and to provide a return on such investment. Under a conditional sales contract, the seller reserves title to and retains a security interest in, the equipment until the purchase price of the equipment is paid. |
In general, the terms of the Partnership’s leases, whether the equipment is leased pursuant to an operating lease or a full payout netfinance lease, depend upon a variety of factors, including: the desirability of each type of lease from both an investment and a tax point of view; the relative demand among lessees for operating or full payout net leases; the type and use of equipment and its anticipated residual value; the business of the lessee and its credit rating; the availability and cost of financing; regulatory considerations; the accounting treatment of the lease sought by the lessee or the Partnership; and competitive factors.
An operating lease generally represents a greater risk to the Partnership than a full payout net lease, because in order to recover the purchase price of the subject equipment and earn a return on such investment, it is necessary to renew or extend the operating lease, lease the equipment to a third party at the end of the original lease term, or sell the equipment. On the other hand, the term of an operating lease is generally much shorter than the term of a full payout net lease, and the lessor is thus afforded an opportunity under an operating lease to re-lease or sell the subject equipment at an earlier stage of the equipment’s life cycle than under a full payout net lease. Also, the annual rental payments received under an operating lease are ordinarily higher than those received under a full payout net lease.
The Partnership’s policy is to generally enter into “triple net leases” (or the equivalent, in the case of a conditional sales contract) which typically provide that the lessee or some other party bear the risk of physical loss of the equipment; pay taxes relating to the lease or use of the equipment; maintain the equipment; indemnify the Partnership-lessor against any liability suffered by the Partnership as the result of any act or omission of the lessee or its agents; maintain casualty insurance in an amount equal to the greater of the full value of the equipment and a specified amount set forth in the lease; and maintain liability insurance naming the Partnership as an additional insured with a minimum coverage which the General Partner deems appropriate. In addition, the Partnership may purchase “umbrella” insurance policies to cover excess liability and casualty losses, to the extent deemed practicable and advisable by the General Partner. As of December 31, 2008,2011, all leases that have been entered into are “triple net leases”.
The General Partner has not established any standards for lessees to whom it will lease equipment and, as a result, there is not an investment restriction prohibiting the Partnership from doing business with any lessees. However, a credit analysis of all potential lessees is undertaken by the General Partner to determine the lessee’s ability to make payments under the proposed lease. The General Partner may refuse to enter into an agreement with a potential lessee based on the outcome of the credit analysis.
The terms and conditions of the Partnership’s leases, or conditional sales contracts, are each determined by negotiation and may impose substantial obligations upon the Partnership. Where the Partnership assumes maintenance or service obligations, the General Partner generally causes the Partnership to enter into separate maintenance or service agreements with manufacturers or certified maintenance organizations to provide such services. Such agreements generally require annual or more frequent adjustment of service fees. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership has not entered into any such agreements.
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 PartnershipGeneral Partner believes that this strategy adds value since it entices the leasing company to “stayremain actively involved with the lease” forlessee and encourages potential extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment. This strategy potentially minimizesis designed to minimize any conflicts the leasing company may have with a potential new lease and will potentiallymay 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.

Investment Criteria
When evaluating potential lease transactions in which we will invest, the general partner and the Sponsor’s management team performs a detailed credit and risk analysis of both the lessee and the lease transaction itself. The risk of doing business with the potential lessee, and the economics of each particular transaction must both be acceptable to our portfolio management team and to our CEO, who specifically approves each and every lease transaction. Some of the criteria we evaluate are described below:
Evaluation of Lessees
The management team will perform a credit analysis (including a review of the financial statements, credit history and public debt record) of all potential lessees to determine the lessee’s ability to make payments under the lease. We focus our investments in investment grade to middle market credits meeting our minimum acceptable fundamental analysis criteria. These criteria involve an overall fundamental assessment of the lessee, and application our own proprietary “rating” model that is tailored to specific economic criteria that are important to us. In addition to preparing a detailed credit-write up at the time of initiation of a transaction, we also re-evaluate a lessee’s credit risk on a monthly basis, and may review interim and annual lessee financial statements.
Generally, we seek lessees that have annual revenue of at least $10 million, have positive cash flow, and are not start-up entities, i.e., have been in business for at least five years. We will also apply a proprietary debt rating analysis when a Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s rating is not available. This allows us to create an equivalent, internal rating system without reliance solely on third-party models and analysis.
Evaluation of Transactions
As described above under “Description of Leases,” we prefer our lease investments to have a term of 12 to 36 months, and will not invest in a lease greater than 48 months. We engage in “Fair Market Value” lease transactions, which permit the lessee to purchase the equipment at the end of term for no less than the then fair market value of the equipment. We seek to limit or avoid leases that allow for early buyouts or terminations, as these arrangements reduce the predictability of our returns.
Our focus is on Tier 1 information technology, telecommunications, and medical technology equipment, leased in transactions generally ranging in size from $50,000 to $1,000,000. We will consider larger transactions, but for diversification purposes will require such transactions to be divided among multiple lease schedules, and the general partner may even assign a portion of such larger transactions to other affiliated funds to further spread the risk involved in larger transactions. Also, where the equipment type and economic analytics are advantageous, we may engage in lease transactions involving other types of equipment, so long as we feel it is business-essential equipment for the lessee. Also, we conduct a detailed analysis, using a third-party consultant, to assess the residual value of the proposed equipment at the end of the original lease term. This includes an analysis of the equipment’s useful life and depreciation schedule, as well as the expected resale market of that equipment type and availability of remarketing channels.
Finally, in assessing whether a proposed lease transaction will fit into our portfolio criteria, management will consider the amount of exposure we and our affiliated funds have to (i) the proposed asset type, (ii) the particular lessee, (iii) the lessee’s industry, and (iv) the geographic location of the equipment to be leased.
BORROWING POLICIES
The General Partner, at its discretion, may cause the Partnership to incur debt in the maximum aggregate amount of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned, or subject to conditional sales contracts, by the Partnership at the time the debt is incurred, with monies received that isare not considered “original proceeds”. of the Partnership’s public offering. The Partnership incurs only non-recourse debt, which is secured by equipment and lease income therefrom. Such leveraging permits the Partnership to increase the aggregate amount of its depreciable assets, and, as a result, potentially increases both its lease revenues and its federal income tax deductions above those levels that would be achieved without leveraging. There is no limit on the amount of debt that may be incurred in connection with the acquisition of any single item of equipment. Any debt incurred is fully amortized over the term of the initial lease or conditional sales contract to which the equipment securing the debt is subject. The precise amount borrowed by the Partnership depends on a number of factors, including the types of equipment acquired by the Partnership; the creditworthiness of the lessee; the availability of suitable financing; and prevailing interest rates. The Partnership is flexible in the degree of leverage it employs, within the permissible limit. There can be no assurance that credit will be available to the Partnership in the amount or at the time desired or on terms considered reasonable by the General Partner. As of December 31, 2008,2011, the aggregate nonrecourse debt outstanding of approximately $1,551,000$358,000 was approximately 7%3.1% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned.
The Partnership may purchase some items of equipment without leverage. If the Partnership purchases an item of equipment without leverage and thereafter suitable financing becomes available, it may then obtain the financing, secure the financing with the purchased equipment to the extent practicable and invest any proceeds from such financing in additional items of equipment, or it may distribute some or all of such proceeds to the Limited Partners.equipment. Any such later financing will be on terms consistent with the terms applicable to borrowings generally. AsIn 2010, the Partnership obtained suitable financing as described above, in the aggregate amount of approximately $149,000, of which approximately $62,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 2008,2011 and is included in the Partnership has not exercised this option.aggregate nonrecourse outstanding debt of approximately $358,000 at December 31, 2011.
The General Partner may cause the Partnership to borrow funds, to the fullest extent practicable, at interest rates fixed at the time of borrowing. However, the Partnership may borrow funds at rates that vary with the “prime” or “base” rate. If lease revenues were fixed, a rise in the “prime” or “base” rate would increase borrowing costs and reduce the amount of the Partnership’s income and cash available for distribution. Therefore, the General Partner is permitted to borrow funds to purchase equipment at fluctuating rates only if the lease for such equipment provides for fluctuating rental payments calculated on a similar basis.
Any additional debt incurred by the Partnership must be nonrecourse. Nonrecourse debt means that the lender providing the funds can look for security only to the equipment pledged as security and the proceeds derived from leasing or selling such equipment. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner (including the General Partner) would be liable for repayment of any nonrecourse debt.
Loan agreements may also require that the Partnership maintain certain reserves or compensating balances and may impose other obligations upon the Partnership. Moreover, since a significant portion of the Partnership’s revenues from the leasing of equipment will be reserved for repayment of debt, the use of financing reduces the cash, which might otherwise be available for distributions until the debt has been repaid and may reduce the Partnership’s cash flow over a substantial portion of the Partnership’s operating life. As of December 31, 2008,2011, the Partnership had not entered into any such agreements.
The General Partner and any of its affiliates may, but are not required to, make loans to the Partnership on a short-term basis. If the General Partner or any of its affiliates makes such a short-term loan to the Partnership, the General Partner or affiliate may not charge interest at a rate greater than the interest rate charged by unrelated lenders on comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality. In no event is the Partnership required to pay interest on any such loan at an annual rate greater than three percent over the “prime rate’rate” from time to time announced by PNC Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All payments of principal and interest on any financing provided by the General Partner or any of its affiliates are due and payable by the Partnership within 12 months after the date of the loan.
REFINANCING POLICIES
Subject to the limitations set forth in “Borrowing Policies” above, the Partnership may refinance its debt from time to time. With respect to a particular item of equipment, the General Partner will take into consideration such factors as the amount of appreciation in value, if any, to be realized, the possible risks of continued ownership, and the anticipated advantages to be obtained for the Partnership, as compared to selling such equipment. As of December 31, 2008,2011, the Partnership has no such debt.not entered into any debt refinancing transactions.
Refinancing, if achievable, may permit the Partnership to retain an item of equipment and at the same time to generate additional funds for reinvestment in additional equipment or for distribution to the Limited Partners.
LIQUIDATION POLICIES
The General Partner intends to cause the Partnership to begin disposing of its equipment approximately 10 years after commencement of operations or in January 2015. Notwithstanding the Partnership’s objective to sell all of its assets and dissolve by December 31, 2015,February 4, 2017, the General Partner may at any time cause the Partnership to dispose of all its equipment and dissolve the Partnership upon the approval of Limited Partners holding a majority in interest of units.sooner, if warranted by economic conditions.
Particular items of equipment may be sold at any time if, in the judgment of the General Partner, it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. The determination of whether particular items of Partnership equipment should be sold or otherwise disposed of is made by the General Partner after consideration of all relevant factors (including prevailing general economic conditions, lessee demand, the General Partner’s views of current and future market conditions, the cash requirements of the Partnership, potential capital appreciation, cash flow and federal income tax considerations), with a view toward achieving the principal investment objectives of the Partnership. As partial payment for equipment sold, the Partnership may receive purchase money obligations secured by liens on such equipment.

MANAGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT
Equipment management services for the Partnership’s equipment are provided by the General Partner and its affiliates and by persons employed by the General Partner. Such services will consist of collection of income from the equipment, negotiation and review of leases, conditional sales contracts and sales agreements, releasing and leasing-related services, payment of operating expenses, periodic physical inspections and market surveys, servicing indebtedness secured by equipment, general supervision of lessees to assure that they are properly utilizing and operating equipment, providing related services with respect to equipment, supervising, monitoring and reviewing services performed by others in respect to equipment and preparing monthly equipment operating statements and related reports.
COMPETITION
The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. The Partnership competes with leasing companies, equipment manufacturers and their affiliated financing companies, distributors and entities similar to the Partnership (including other programs sponsored by the General Partner), some of which have greater financial resources than the Partnership and more experience in the equipment leasing business than the General Partner. Other leasing companies and equipment manufacturers, their affiliated financing companies and distributors may be in a position to offer equipment to prospective lessees on financial terms, which are more favorable, thatthan those which the Partnership can offer. They may also be in a position to offer trade-in privileges, software, maintenance contracts and other services, than those which the Partnership can offer. Equipment manufacturers and distributors may offer to sell equipment on terms (such as liberal financing terms and exchange privileges)privileges or service contracts), which will afford benefits to the purchaser similar to those obtained through leases. As a result of the advantages, which certain of its competitors may have, the Partnership may find it necessary to lease its equipment on a less favorable basis than certain of its competitors.
The dominant firms in the computer marketplace are Dell, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems and Cisco. Because of the substantial resources and dominant position of these companies, revolutionary changes with respect to computer systems, pricing, marketing practices, technological innovation and the availability of new and attractive financing plans could occur at any time. Significant action in any of these areas by these firms might materially adversely affect the partnership’s business or that of the other manufacturers with whom the General Partner might negotiate purchase and other agreements. Any adverse affect on these manufacturers could be reflected in the overall return realized by the Partnership on equipment from those manufacturers.

RESERVES
Because the Partnership’s leases are on a “triple-net” basis, no permanent reserve for maintenance and repairs has been established from the offering proceeds. However, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may retain a portion of the cash flow and net disposition proceeds available to the Partnership for maintenance, repairs and working capital. There are no limitations on the amount of cash flow and net disposition proceeds that may be retained as reserves. Since no reserve will be established, if available cash flow of the Partnership is insufficient to cover the Partnership’s operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary for the Partnership to obtain additional funds by refinancing its equipment or borrowing. The Partnership’s operating expenses increased(including legal fees) decreased approximately $214,000$79,000 during 20082011 and cash flows were sufficient to cover all expenses and liabilities.
GENERAL RESTRICTIONS
Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is not permitted, among other things, to:
(a) invest in junior trust deeds unless received in connection with the sale of an item ofequipment in an aggregate amount that does not exceed
30% of the assets of the Partnership on the date of the investment; | (a) | invest in junior trust deeds unless received in connection with the sale of an item of equipment in an aggregate amount that does not exceed 30% of the assets of the Partnership on the date of the investment; |
(b) invest in or underwrite the securities of other issuers; | (b) | invest in or underwrite the securities of other issuers; |
(c) acquire any equipment for units; | (c) | acquire any equipment for units; |
| | (d) | issue senior securities (except that the issuance to lenders of notes or other evidences of indebtedness in connection with the financing or refinancing of equipment or the Partnership’s business shall not be deemed to be the issuance of senior securities); |
| | (e) | make loans to any person, including the General Partner or any of its affiliates, except to the extent a conditional sales contract constitutes a loan; |
| | (f) | sell or lease any equipment to, lease any equipment from, or enter into any sale- leaseback transactions with, the General Partner or any of its affiliates; or |
| | (g) | give the General Partner or any of its affiliates an exclusive right or employment to sell the Partnership’s equipment. |
The General Partner has also agreed in the Partnership Agreement to use its best efforts to assure that the Partnership shall not be deemed an “investment company” as such term is detained in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The General Partner and its affiliates may engage in other activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement provides, however, that neither the General Partner nor any of its affiliates may receive any rebate or “give up” in connection with the Partnership’s activities or participate in reciprocal business arrangements that circumvent the restrictions in the Partnership Agreement against dealings with affiliates.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership had no employees during 20082011 and received administrative and other services from a related party, Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”), which had 9168 employees as of December 31, 2008.2011.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
Changes in economic conditions could materially and negatively affect our business.
Our business is directly impacted by factors such as economic, political, and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in government monetary and fiscal policies, and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. A deteriorationDuring 2011 we experienced a modest strengthening in the global economy. As we move into 2012 we expect this moderate recovery to continue, subject of course, to events that may be experienced in Europe and elsewhere throughout the globe. With this in mind, a prolonged period of economic conditions, whether caused by national or local concerns, especially within our market area,weakness could result in the following consequences, any of which could hurt business materially: lease delinquencies may increase; problem leases and defaults could increase; and demand for information technology products generally may decrease as businesses attempt to reduce expenses.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In April 2007,Allied Health Care
On June 18, 2010, Commonwealth Capital Corp. (the parent of our general partner) filed suit on our behalf against Allied Health Care Services Inc. (“Allied”). Allied is a lessee Quick Loan Funding, Inc. began defaultingof medical equipment that failed to make its monthly lease payments since March 2010. Since March 2010, Commonwealth attempted on several occasions to collect lease rentals from Allied, but to no avail. Our suit was filed in the U.S. District Court (District of New Jersey - Case No 2:10-cv-03135), for all outstanding rents, the value of leased equipment and all costs of collection.
On August 19, 2010, an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code was filed against Allied in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. On September 3, 2010, Mr. Schwartz was arrested by the FBI for alleged mail fraud in connection with his medical equipment leasing business. Additionally, Commonwealth was one of the petitioning creditors in an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed against Mr. Schwartz personally on September 17, 2010, in the same court. To date, we have taken a 100% reserve against the Allied receivables, reflecting the uncertainty of the outcome of these cases and funds that may be available for creditors. The bankruptcy trustee has not yet indicated whether he will pursure adversary claims against creditors seeking the return of pre-petition payments made by Allied, and therefore our exposure to such potential claims remains indeterminable at this time.
Upon considering the criminal complaints against Mr. Schwartz and his alleged co-conspirator, related press releases, and due to Mr. Schwartz’ resulting conviction for fraud in November 2011, management has fully impaired all related equipment for approximately $370,000. Commonwealth continues to pursue all of our rights against both Allied and Mr. Schwartz to recover any available assets to the greatest extent possible.
MobilePro Corp./City of Tempe, AZ
Commonwealth Capital Corp. ("Commonwealth") has settled the litigation in which it was involved on the Partnership's behalf with the City of Tempe, Arizona related to a default by a lessee, MobilePro Corp. MobilePro was a lessee that had defaulted on its lease payments. From April 2007 throughof wi-fi equipment installed throughout the first quarterCity of 2008 we attempted several timesTempe as part of a municipal broadband wireless network. Due to collect paymenta dispute between Commonwealth and Tempe regarding ownership of outstanding lease payments and access to recover the wi-fi equipment from this lessee. On April 2, 2008, we filed suit in the Superior Court of Orange County, California (Docket No. 30-2008-00104785) against Quick Loan Funding, Inc.post-default, Commonwealth and its owner, Daniel Sadek, to recover the unpaid lease payments, late fees and the equipment. In July 2008, we recovered a portion of the equipment leased to Quick Loan Funding, and we are continuing to pursue all available means to recover the remainder ofTempe sued each other for the equipment and the outstandingvarious amounts owed to us. On September 24, 2008 we obtained a judgment against Quick Loan Funding for all amounts owed to us. We are currently in the process of executing this judgment against any available assets of Quick Loan Funding. While we believe Quick Loan Funding is currently insolvent, to our knowledge no proceedings in bankruptcy have been initiated. We believe, based on our physical inspection of Quick Loan’s physical assets during our repossession efforts, that Quick Loan Funding may have sufficient assets to cover our judgment lien against it. To date, the Partnership has recorded a reserve against all outstanding rentals in the amount of approximately $43,000. For the years ended December 31 2008 and 2007 the Partnership recorded impairment charges of approximately $63,000 and $18,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 the equipment has a net book value of zero. The Partnership has not experienced any significant changes related to this matter during the fourth quarter of 2008.damages.
In August 2007, a lessee, MobilePro, Inc. defaulted on lease payments for wi-fi equipment owned by the fund. We were able to cover unpaid amounts by retaining cash collateralA jury trial of Case No. CV09-00274 was held in the form of security deposits, which covered approximately eight months of additional rent. Since that period, we communicated with and attempted to work with MobilePro on a resolution, through an equipment sale that could satisfy their obligations to us.
By year end 2008, it became clear that they could not locate a buyer for the equipment. Therefore, we began to make several demands for payments of back rent not satisfied by the security deposits, and these demands were not satisfied. Subsequently, on February 10, 2009, our general partner filed suit against MobilePro and other related parties for collection, in the USU.S. District Court for the District of Arizona.
Simultaneously, we also filed suit againstArizona on May 16-18 and May 24-25, 2011. On May 25, 2011, judgment was entered in accordance with the jury’s verdict in favor of the City of Tempe Arizonaand against Commonwealth in orderthe amount of $1,808,904. The Partnership’s share of the judgment, based upon its proportionate participation in the MobilePro lease transaction, was $866,217. Commonwealth. filed a Notice of Appeal to seek accessthe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on September 23, 2011 requiring that the Partnership contribute its proportionate share ($960,000) to our equipment, so that we could repossessa $2,000,000 letter of credit required to post an appeal bond and remarketcommence the equipment, as Tempe has denied us access. On March 27, 2009,appeal. Commonwealth and the City of Tempe filedattended a responsemediation on March 9, 2012, at which both parties agreed to settle the dispute in lieu of continuing a lengthy and counterclaim, seeking an unspecified amountcostly federal appeal. They agreed to settle the matter for $1,175,000, which will be paid out of funds already posted for the useappeal bond. As of December 31,2011, the Partnership has recorded a contingent liability for its proportionate share of this contingency loss of approximately $564,000. The remainder of the right-of-way on the utility poles where the equipment is located, as well as an unspecified fee for electricity used by the equipmentbond collateral will be returned to Commonwealth and the city is additionally seeking entitlement to ownership of the equipment. We believe both counterclaims are without merit for several reasons andPartnership’s proportionate share will continue to enforce our rightsbe allocated back to the equipment. The partnership has taken reserves against this lease, from quarter to quarter, to maintain a conservative position on our books.Partnership.

PART II
| ITEM 5: | MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
There is no public market for the units nor is it anticipated that one will develop. As of December 31, 2008,2011, there were 889872 holders of units. The units are not listed on any exchange or permitted to trade on any over-the-counter market. In addition, there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of units.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS
Units cannot be transferred without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its discretion. The General Partner monitors transfers of units in an effort to ensure that all transfers are within certain safe harbors promulgated by the IRS to furnish guidance regarding publicly traded partnerships. These safe harbors limit the number of transfers that can occur in any one year. The General Partner intends to cause the Partnership to comply with the safe harbor that permits nonexempt transfers and redemptions of units of up to five percent of the total outstanding interest in the Partnership’s capital or profits in any one year.
REDEMPTION PROVISION
Upon the conclusion of the 30-month period following the termination of the offering, theThe Partnership may, at the sole discretion of the General Partner, repurchase a number of the outstanding units. After such 30 month period, onunits pursuant to its limited redemption plan. On a semi-annual basis, the General Partner, at its discretion, may establish an amount for redemption, generally not to exceed two percent of the outstanding units per year, subject to the General Partner’s good faith determination that such redemptions will not (a) cause the Partnership to be taxed as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code or (b) impair the capital or operations of the Partnership. (The Partnership may redeem units in excess of the two percent limitation if, in the good faith judgment of the General Partner, the conditions imposed in the preceding sentence would remain satisfied.) The redemption price for units will be 105% of the selling Limited Partner’s adjusted capital contributions attributable to the units for sale. Following the determination of the annual redemption amount, redemptions will occur on a semi-annual basis and all requests for redemption, which must be made in writing, must be on file as of the record date in which the redemption is to occur. The General Partner will maintain a master list of requests for redemption with priority being given to units owned by estates, followed by IRAs and Qualified Plans. All other requests will be considered in the order received. Redemption requests made by or on behalf of Limited Partners who are not affiliated with the General Partner or its affiliates will be given priority over those made by Limited Partners who are affiliated with the General Partner or its affiliates. All redemption requests will remain in effect until and unless canceled, in writing, by the requesting Limited Partner(s).
The Partnership willbegan to accept redemption requests beginning 30 months following the termination of the offering.public offering of its units. There will be no limitations on the period of time that a redemption request may be pending prior to its being granted. Limited Partners will not be required to hold their interest in the Partnership for any specified period prior to their making a redemption request. In order to make a redemption request, Limited Partners will be required to advise the General Partner in writing of such request. Upon receipt of such notification, the Partnership will provide detailed forms and instructions to complete the request The Partnership terminated its offering of units on February 24, 2006 with 1,249,951 units ($24,957,862) sold. . During the yearyears ended December 31, 20082011 and 2010 limited partners redeemed 4,099832 and 4,806 units, respectively, of the partnership for a total redemption price of approximately $52,000$5,000 and $41,000, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.
EXEMPT TRANSFERS
The following seven categories of transfers are exempt transfers for purposes of calculating the volume limitations imposed by the IRS and will generally be permitted by the General Partner:
| (1) | transfers in which the basis of the unit in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its basis in the hands of the transferor (for example, units acquired by corporations in certain reorganizations, contributions to capital, gifts of units, units contributed to another partnership, and nonliquidating as well as liquidating distributions by a parent partnership to its partners of interests in a sub partnership); |
| (3) | transfers between members of a family (which include brothers and sisters, spouse, ancestors, and lineal descendants); |
| (4) | transfers resulting from the issuance of units by the Partnership in exchange for cash, property, or services; |
| (5) | transfers resulting from distributions from Qualified Plans; |
| (6) | any transfer by a Limited Partner in one or more transactions during any 30-day period of units representing in the aggregate more than five percent of the total outstanding interests in capital or profits of the Partnership; and |
| (7) | transfers by one or more partners representing in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) or more of the total interests in partnership’s capital or profits in one transaction or a series of related transactions. |
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Limited Partners who wish to transfer their units to a new beneficial owner are required to pay the Partnership up to $50 for each transfer to cover the Partnership’s cost of processing the transfer application and take such other actions and execute such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner. There is no charge for re-registration of a certificate in the event of a marriage, divorce, death, or transfer to a trust so long as the transfer is not a result of a sale of the units.
In addition, the following restrictions apply to each transfer: (i) no transfer may be made if it would cause 25% or more of the outstanding units to be owned by benefit plans; and (ii) no transfer is permitted unless the transferee obtains such governmental approvals as may reasonably be required by the General Partner, including without limitation, the written consents of the Pennsylvania Securities Commissioner and of any other state securities agency or commission having jurisdiction over the transfer.
ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE LIMITED PARTNERS
Cash distributions, if any, are made quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. Distributions are made 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to their capital contributions plus the priority return;return of 10% per annum; thereafter, cash distributions will be made 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner. Distributions made in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership or a Partner’s units will be made in accordance with the Partner’s positive capital account balance as determined under the Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulations.
The priority return is calculated on the Limited Partners’ adjusted capital contributions for their units. The adjusted capital contributions will initially be equal to the amount paid by the Limited Partners for their units. If distributions at any time exceed the priority return, the excess will reduce the adjusted capital contributions, decreasing the base on which the priority return is calculated.
If the proceeds resulting from the sale of any equipment are reinvested in equipment, sufficient cash will be distributed to the Partners to pay the additional federal income tax resulting from such sale for a Partner in a 35% federal income tax bracket or, if lower, the maximum federal income tax rate in effect for individuals for such taxable year.
Generally, the General Partner is allocated net profits equal to its cash distributions (but not less than one percent of net profits) and the balance is allocated to the Limited Partners. Net profits arising from transactions in connection with the termination or liquidation of the Partnership are allocated in the following order: (1) First, to each Partner in an amount equal to the negative amount, if any, of his capital account; (2) Second, an amount equal to the excess of the proceeds which would be distributed to the Partners based on the operating distributions to the Partners over the aggregate capital accounts of all the Partners, to the Partners in proportion to their respective shares of such excess, and (3) Third, with respect to any remaining net profits, to the Partners in the same proportions as if the distributions were operating distributions. Net losses, if any, are in all cases allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
Net profits and net losses are computed without taking into account, in each taxable year of the Partnership, any items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be specially allocated pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder. No Limited Partner is required to contribute cash to the capital of the Partnership in order to restore a closing capital account deficit, and the General Partner has only a limited deficit restoration obligation under the Partnership Agreement.

Total | | $ | 2,471,306 | | | $ | 2,474,500 | | | $ | 446,827 | | | $ | 2,451,240 | |
As a result of a jury’s verdict in favor of the City of Tempe, (see Note 8), the Partnership has temporarily suspended distributions, beginning with the second quarter of 2011 and continuing through the first quarter of 2012. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout the remainder of 2012. 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 refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS AMONG THE LIMITED PARTNERS
Cash available for distribution that is allocable to the Limited Partners is apportioned among and distributed to them solely with reference to the number of Units owned by each as of the record date for each such distribution.
Net profits, net losses and cash available for distribution allocable to the Limited Partners is apportioned among them in accordance with the number of units owned by each.
In addition, where a Limited Partner transfers units during a taxable year, the Limited Partner may be allocated net profits for a period for which such Limited Partner does not receive a corresponding cash distribution.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONANDCONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
We were formed on May 19, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring various types of business-essential technology equipment, including computer information technology, telecommunications, medical technology, inventory management and other similar capital equipment. We offered for sale up to 1,250,000 units of the limited partnership at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the “offering”). We reached the minimum offering amount, broke escrow and commenced operations on March 14, 2005. The offering terminated on February 24, 2006 with 1,249,951 units ($24,957,862) sold.
Our management team consists of the officers of our corporate General Partner, Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. We have utilized the net proceeds of our public offering to purchase equipment that is subject to leases with businesses throughout the United States. We have also utilized debt financing (not in excess of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned or subject to conditional sales contracts at the time the debt is incurred) to purchase additional equipment. We acquire and lease equipment principally to U.S. corporations and other institutions pursuant to operating leases. We retain the flexibility to enter into full payout net leases and conditional sales contracts, but have not done so.
COMPETITIVE OUTLOOK
As discussed in “Competition” in Item 1 above, the commercial leasing and financing industry is highly competitive and is characterized by competitive factors that vary based upon product and geographic region. We compete primarily on the basis of pricing, terms and structure, particularly on structuring flexible, responsive, and customized financing solutions for our customers. Our investments are often made directly rather than through competition in the open market. This approach limits the competition for our typical investment, which is intended to enhance returns. We believe our investment model will represent the best way for individual investors to participate in investing in business-essential equipment. Nevertheless, to the extent that our competitors compete aggressively on any combination of the foregoing factors, our results could be adversely impacted.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Our principal investment objectives are to:
| (a) | acquire, lease and sell equipment to generate revenues from operations sufficient to provide annual cash distributions to our limited partners; |
| |
| (b) | preserve and protect limited partners’ capital; |
| |
| (c) | use a portion of cash flow and net disposition proceeds derived from the sale, refinancing or other disposition of equipment to purchase additional equipment; and |
| |
| (d) | refinance, sell or otherwise dispose of equipment in a manner that will maximize proceeds. |
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
We invest in various types of domestic information technology equipment leases located solely within the United States. Our investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment. We believe that dealing in high technology equipment is particularly advantageous due to a robust aftermarket. 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 computer processing capacity, speed, and utility. In the future, the rate and nature of equipment development may cause equipment to become obsolete more rapidly. In an effort to mitigate this risk our portfolio manager attempts to diversify our fund through the acquisition of different types of equipment, staggered lease maturities, various lessees, businesses located throughout the U.S., and industries served.
We also acquire high technology medical, telecommunications and inventory management equipment. Our General Partner seeks 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 has a longer useful life. This allows for increased re-marketability, if it is returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.
The Equipment Lease Finance Association (“ELFA”) Monthly Leasing and Finance Index which reports economic activity for the $628 billion equipment finance sector, showed overall new business volume for the year ending 2011 increasing 25% relative to the same period of 2010. Credit quality remained steady as the rate of receivables aged in excess of 30 days rose slightly from 2.0% in November to 2.1% in December. Additionally, charge-offs remained unchanged at 0.7% in the Fourth quarter of 2011. Seventy Percent of ELFA reporting members reported submitting more transactions for approval during the final month of 2011 as compared to 65.5% the previous month. For 2012, the ELFA has forecast a 4.1% increase in finance volume year over year.
Our business is directly impacted by factors such as economic, political, and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in government monetary and fiscal policies, and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. During 2011 we experienced a modest strengthening in the global economy. As we move into 2012 we expect this moderate recovery to continue, subject of course, to events that may be experienced in Europe and elsewhere throughout the globe. Given these circumstances, we believe companies overall, will continue to increasingly turn to leasing, as a financing solution. It is our belief that companies lease business-essential equipment because leasing can provide many benefits to a company. The number one benefit of leasing that we see is that there is no large outlay of cash required. Therefore, companies can preserve their working capital, lease equipment, which is an expense item, have the flexibility to upgrade the equipment when needed, and have no risk of obsolescence. Because we expect leasing to remain an attractive financing solution for American businesses during the next 12 months, we feel that our ability to acquire equipment for the portfolio and leasing revenues during that period will remain strong.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The Partnership'sOur management’s discussion and analysis of itsour financial condition and results of operations areis based upon itsour financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Partnershipmanagement to make estimates and judgments that affect the financial positionreported amounts of our business. The Partnership bases itsassets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances;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.
The Partnership believesWe believe that itsour critical accounting policies affect itsour more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of itsour financial statements.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquires computer 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. Depreciation on computer equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to four years.
REVENUE RECOGNITIONRevenue Recognition
Through December 31, 2008, the Partnership has only2011, we have solely entered into operating leases. Lease revenue is recognized on a monthly straight-line basis which is in accordance with the terms of the operating lease agreements.agreement.
Our leases do not contain any step-rent provisions or escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any index.
The Partnership reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit and may establish a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.9
Long Lived Assets / Asset Impairments
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. FairThe fair value of the equipment is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. In 2008calculated using income and 2007, the Partnership determined that the carrying amount of certain assets was greater than the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. In 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recorded impairment charges of approximately $99,000 and $59,000, respectively. Such amounts have been included in depreciation expense in the accompanying financial statements.market approaches.
Depreciation on computer equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to four years.
REIMBURSABLE EXPENSESIntangible Assets
Equipment acquisition costs and deferred expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over two-to-four year lives based on the original term of the lease and loan, respectively. Unamortized acquisition costs and deferred expenses are charged to amortization expense when the associated leased equipment is sold.
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursable expenses, which are charged to the Partnershipus by CCC in connection with theour administration and operation, of the Partnership, are allocated to the Partnershipus based upon several factors including, but not limited to, the number of investors, compliance issues, and the number of existing leases. For example, if the Partnershipone partnership has more investors than another program sponsored by CCC, then higher amounts of expenses related to investor services, mailing and printing costs will be allocated to the Partnership.that partnership. Also, while the Partnershipa partnership is in its offering stage, higher compliance costs are allocated to it than to a program not in its offering stage, as compliance resources are utilized to review incoming investor suitability and proper documentation. Finally, lease related expenses, such as due diligence, correspondence, collection efforts and analysis staff costs, increase as programs purchase more leases, and decrease as leases terminate and equipment is sold. All of these factors contribute to CCC’s determination as to the amount of expenses to allocate to the Partnershipus or to other sponsored programs. For the Partnership, allAll of our reimbursable expenses are expensed as they are incurred.
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. In the event of a default it may establish a provision for uncollectible lease income receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses will be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. As of January 1, 2008 the Partnership adopted SFAS No.159. The Partnership has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 applies to otherInformation regarding recent accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilitiesis included in Note 2 to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. In February 2008, the FASB issued two Staff Positions on SFAS 157: (1) FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (FAS 157-1), “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13,” and (2) FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FAS 157-2), “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FAS 157-1 excludes FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under Statement 13, from SFAS 157’s scope. FAS157-2 partially defers Statement 157’s effective date. As of January 1, 2008 the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157 for all financial assets. Adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the 2008 financial statements, Summary of the Partnership. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-3 "Determining the Fair Value of aSignificant Accounting Policies, as set forth in Part II, Item 8, Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active" ("FSP SFAS 157-3"), which is effective upon issuance for all financial statements that have not been issued. FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, in a market that is not active. Adoption of FSP SFAS 157-3 did not impact the 2008 financial statements of the Partnership.Statements and Supplementary Data.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
ForOur primary source of cash for the years ended December 31, 20082011 and 2007 cash2010 was providedgenerated by operating activities of approximately $2,548,000$1,134,000 and $3,295,000,$1,799,000, respectively, which includes a net loss of approximately $1,043,000$1,707,000 and $1,730,000 respectively. Payable to affiliate for approximately $512,000 was also a source of cash for 2011. Borrowings of approximately $149,000 were also a source of our 2010 cash. Net proceeds from the sale of equipment were approximately $478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This compares to net proceeds from the sale of equipment during 2010 of approximately $496,000.
Our primary use of cash for the year ended December 31, 2011 was for capital expenditures for new equipment of approximately $575,000, distributions to partners of approximately $448,000 and $311,000to fund an $960,000 escrow account related to the litigation settlement with the City of Tempe discussed in Item 3 – Legal Proceedings. This compares to capital expenditures of approximately $391,000 and distributions of approximately $2,476,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Capital expenditures increased as a result of an increase in equipment investment opportunities. As a result of a jury’s verdict in favor of the City of Tempe, (see Part II: Item 1, Legal Proceedings), management has suspended distributions to investors until at least the first quarter of 2012, and we may also refinance or leverage equipment to meet our cash flow needs, if necessary.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 depreciation and amortization expenses ofwere approximately $5,747,000$1,939,000 and $5,323,000 $3,814,000, respectively. OtherAdditionally, other non-cash activities included in the determination of the net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $1,924,000$187,000 and $1,760,000,$267,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The Partnership’s primary sourcesgain of cash for the year ended December 31, 2008 was cash generated by operating activities of approximately $2,548,000 and net proceeds from the sale of computer equipment of approximately $724,000. The Partnership’s primary source$100,000 and $291,000, respectively, and bad debt expense of cashapproximately $13,000 and $99,000 respectively.
As we continue to acquire equipment for the year ended December 31, 2007 was cash generated byequipment portfolio, operating activitiesexpenses 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. We intend to invest approximately $3,295,000.$1,000,000 in additional equipment during 2012, primarily through debt financing.
The primary uses of cash for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were for the payment of distributions to partners totaling approximately $2,496,000 and $2,499,000, respectively, acquisition fees of approximately $84,000 and $248,000, respectively, and for capital expenditures for new equipment totaling $1,765,000 and $3,615,000, respectively.
Cash has been invested in high yield savings accounts and checking accounts. At December 31, 20082011, cash was held in twothree bank accounts maintained at one major financial institution. Theinstitution with an aggregate balance of approximately $205,000. Bank accounts at this institution are federally insured in aggregate, for amounts up to $250,000. At times,$250,000, while pursuant to the balances may have exceeded federallyDodd/Frank Act of 2010, some accounts are fully insured limits.by the FDIC. At December 31, 2008,2011, the total cash bank balance was approximately $3,546,000 and exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $3,296,000. At December 31, 2007 cash was held in two accounts at one major financial institution. The accounts at this institution were federally insured, in aggregate, for amounts up to $100,000. At times, the balances may have exceeded federally insured limits. At December 31, 2007, the total cash balance was approximately $4,349,000 and exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $4,249,000. fully insured.
The Partnership mitigates this risk by only depositingdeposits its funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership hasa large banking institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it isbelieve we are not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amountamounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 20092012 due to many factors, including the pace of additional revenues, equipment acquisitions and distributions.
The Partnership’s investment strategyAs of acquiring computer equipment and generally leasing it under triple-net leases to operators, who generally meet specified financial standards, minimizes the Partnership’s operating expenses. At December 31, 2008, the Partnership2011, we had future minimum rentals on noncancellable operating leases of $3,909,000approximately $685,000 for the year ending 20092012 and $1,183,000approximately $608,000 thereafter. These amounts represent scheduled payments on existing leases only, and do not include expected future revenues on leases that we have not yet entered into.
The Partnership’s outstandingbalance of our non-recourse debt at December 31, 20082011 was approximately $1,551,000$358,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.65%3.95% to 6.30% and7.50% which will be payable through May 2012.July 2014. We assumed debt in connection with the purchase of computer equipment of approximately $188,000 and $214,000 during 2011 and 2010, respectively. Non-recourse debt leases will not generate current cash flow because the rental payments received from these leases are used to service the indebtedness associated with acquiring or financing the lease. For these leases, we anticipate that the equipment will generate income to the investor either through an extension of the lease term or from the sale of the equipment at the end of the lease term. Management does not expect significant interest rate increases to take place during the remainder of 2012, and therefore expects our cost of nonrecourse borrowing to remain steady over the next 12 months.
CCC, on our behalf and 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’sOur share of the computer equipment in which it participateswe participate with other partnerships at December 31, 2008 and 20072011 was approximately $9,865,000 and $8,381,000, respectively$9,280,000, and is included in the Partnership’sour fixed assets on itsour balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnershipwe share with other partnerships at December 31, 2008 and 20072011 was approximately $24,040,000 and $17,371,000, respectively. The Partnership’s$29,772,000. Our share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2008 and 20072011 was approximately $974,000 and $1,683,000, respectively.$351,000. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnershipwe share at December 31, 2008 and 20072011 was approximately $2,513,000$952,000.
As we and $3,187,000, respectively.the other programs managed by our General Partner continue to acquire equipment for the portfolios, 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, total shared equipment and related debt should continue to trend at a relatively steady pace for the remainder of 2012.
The Partnership’sOur cash flow 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.liabilities. During 2008,2011, our operating expenses of(including legal fees) decreased approximately $79,000 due to increased efficiencies as daily operations continued within the Partnership increased 23%.fund. If available cash flow or net asset disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnershipour expenses and liabilities on a short andor long term basis, the Partnershipwe will attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within itsour permissible limits. As a result of the litigation with the City of Tempe, the Partnership had temporarily suspended distributions, beginning with the second quarter of 2011. The Partnership may also reduceGeneral Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions to its Partners if it deems necessary. Since the Partnership’s leases are on a “triple-net” basis, no reserve for maintenance and repairs are deemed necessary.

RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2011 we recognized revenue of approximately $1,543,000 and expenses of approximately $3,250,000 resulting in net loss of approximately $1,707,000.
We have 201 operating leases that generated lease revenue of approximately $1,431,000 during 2011. Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout 2012, funded primarily through debt.
Lease revenue decreased to approximately $1,431,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from approximately $2,727,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to more lease agreements ending during 2011 and not being replaced with as many new equipment acquisitions.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership recognized interest income of approximately $89,000 and $220,000 as a result of monies being invested in savings accounts that invest directly in cash or treasury obligations pending the Partnership’s use of such funds to purchase additional computer equipment, to pay Partnership expenses, or to make distributions to the Partners.
The Partnership sold computer equipment with a net book value of approximately $750,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008, for a net loss of approximately $28,000.

TheA contingency loss of approximately $564,000, related to the City of Tempe, Arizona litigation settlement, was recorded in 2011. There was no such loss in 2010.
We pay an equipment management fee to our General Partner for managing our equipment portfolio. In July of 2010, the equipment management fee was approximatelyreduced to 2.5% from 5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases. The equipment management fee increasedfor finance leases is 2% of the gross lease revenue attributable to that equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the equipment management fee decreased to approximately $338,000$35,000 from approximately $111,000 for the year ended December 31, 20082010 which is attributable to the decrease in lease revenue and the reduction of operating lease equipment management fees to 2.5% from 5% during 2010.

ITEM 9A (T): | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. It is the responsibility of the General Partner to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the General Partner; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2008.2011. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the board of directors.
Based on our assessment, management determined that, at December 31, 2008,2011, the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There has been no change in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rulesfinal rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management's report in this annual report.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Partnership is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationships with the General Partner and its affiliates. These conflicts include the following:
Competitions with General Partner and Affiliates: Competitions for Management’s timeCOMPETITIONS WITH GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES: COMPETITIONS FOR MANAGEMENT’S TIME
The General Partner and its affiliateaffiliates sponsor other investor programs, which are in potential competition with the Partnership in connection with the purchase of equipment as well as opportunities to lease and sell such equipment. Competition for equipment has occurred and is likely to occur in the future. The General Partner and its affiliates may also form additional investor programs, which may be competitive with the Partnership.
If one or more investor programs and the Partnership are in a position to acquire the same equipment, the General Partner will determine which program will purchase the equipment based upon the objectives of each and the suitability of the acquisition in light of those objectives. The General Partner will generally afford priority to the program or entity that has had funds available to purchase equipment for the longest period of time. If one or more investor programs and the Partnership are in a position to enter into lease with the same lessee or sell equipment to the same purchaser, the General Partner will generally afford priority to the equipment which has been available for lease or sale for the longest period of time.
Certain senior executives of the General Partner and its affiliates also serve as officers and directors of the other programs and are required to apportion their time among these entities. The Partnership is, therefore, in competition with the other programs for the attention and management time of the General Partner and affiliates. The officers and directors of the General Partner are not required to devote all or substantially all of their time to the affairs of the Partnership.
ACQUISITIONS
CCC and the General Partner or other affiliates of the General Partner may acquire equipment for the Partnership provided that (i) the Partnership has insufficient funds at the time the equipment is acquired, (ii) the acquisition is in the best interest of the partnership and (iii) no benefit to the General Partner or its affiliates arises from the acquisition except for compensation paid to CCC, the General Partner or such other affiliate as disclosed in this report. CCC, the General Partner or their affiliates will not hold equipment for more than 60 days prior to transfer to the Partnership. If sufficient funds become available to the Partnership within such 60 day period, such equipment may be resold to the Partnership for a price not in excess of the sum of the cost of the equipment to such entity and any accountable acquisition expenses payable to third parties which are incurred by such entity and interest on the purchase price from the date of purchase to the date of transfer to the Partnership. CCC, the General Partner or such other affiliate will retain any rent or other payments received for the equipment, and bear all expenses and liabilities, other than accountable acquisition expenses payable to third parties with respect to such equipment, for all periods prior to the acquisition of the equipment by the Partnership. Except as described above, there will be no sales of equipment to or from any affiliate of CCC.
In certain instances, the Partnership may find it necessary, in connection with the ordering and acquisition of equipment, to make advances to manufacturers or vendors with funds borrowed from the General Partner for such purpose. The Partnership does not borrow money from the General Partner or any of its affiliates with a term in excess of twelve months. Interest is paid on loans or advances (in the form of deposits with manufacturers or vendors of equipment or otherwise) from the General Partner of its affiliates from their own funds at a rate equal to that which would be charged by third party financing institutions on comparable loans from the same purpose in the same geographic area, but in no event in excess of the General Partner’s or affiliate’s own cost of funds. In addition, if the General Partner or its affiliates borrow money and loan or advance it on a short-term basis to or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or such affiliates shall receive no greater interest rate and financing charges from the Partnership than that which unrelated lenders charge on comparable loans. The Partnership will not borrow money from the General Partner or any of its affiliates for a term in excess of twelve months.
If the General Partner or any of its affiliates purchases equipment in its own name and with its own funds in order to facilitate ultimate purchase by the Partnership, the purchaser is entitled to receive interest on the funds expended for such purchase on behalf of the Partnership. Simple interest on any such temporary purchases is charged on a floating rate basis not in excess of three percent over the “prime rate” from time to time announced by PNC Bank, from the date of initial acquisition to the date of repayment by the Partnership/ownership transfer.
The Partnership does not invest in equipment limited partnerships, general partnershipsGeneral Partnerships or joint ventures, except that (a) the Partnership may invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with persons other thatthan equipment programs formed by the General Partner or its affiliates, which partnerships or joint ventures own specific equipment; provided that (i) the Partnership has or acquires a controlling interest in such ventures or partnerships, (ii) the non-controlling interest is owned by a non-affiliated,non-affiliate, and (iii) the are no duplicate fees; and (b) the Partnership may invest in joint venture arrangements with other equipment programs formed by the General Partner or its affiliates if such action is in the best interest of all programs and if all the following conditions are met: (i) all the programs have substantially identical investment objectives; (ii) there are no duplicate fees; (iii) the sponsor compensation is substantially identical in each program; (iv) the Partnership has a right of first refusal to buy another program’s interest in a joint venture if the other program wishes to sell equipment held in the joint venture; (v) the investment of each program is on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (vi) the joint venture is formed either for the purpose of effecting appropriatedappropriate diversification for the programs or for the purpose of relieving the General Partner or its affiliates from a commitment entered into pursuant to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (“Partnership”) as of December 31, 20082011 and 2007,2010, and the related statements of operations, Partners’ capital and cash flows for each of the years in the two-yeartwo year period ended December 31, 2008.2011. The Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V as of December 31, 20082011 and 2007,2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 20082011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Business
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania onin May 19, 2003. The Partnership offered for sale up to 1,250,000 units of the 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 14, 2005. As of February 24, 2006, the Partnership was fully subscribed.
During the yearyears ended December 31, 20082011 and 2010, limited partners redeemed 4,099832 and 4,806 units of the partnership interest for a total redemption price of approximately $52,000$5,000 and $41,000, respectively in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.its Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”).
The Partnership useduses the proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and lease various types of computer information technology (I.T.) 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, will acquireacquires computer equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocateallocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships based on certain risk factors.
The Partnership’s General Partnerinvestment 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 ownedwholly-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 computer equipment, make final distributions to partners, and to dissolve. Unless sooner terminated or extended pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the Partnership will continue until December 31, 2015.February 4, 2017.
Allocations of income and distributions of cash are based on the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”).Agreement. The various allocations under the Agreement prevent any limited partner’s capital account from being reduced below zero and ensure the capital accounts reflect the anticipated sharing ratios of cash distributions, as defined in the Agreement. During 2008years ended December 31, 2011 and 2007 annual2010, cash distributions to limited partners for each quarter were made at a rate of approximately 5% and 10% of their original contributed capital.capital, respectively. Distributions during 2008the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2007 reflect an annual return of capital2010 were made to limited partners in the amount of approximately $0.25 and $1.98 for both years, per weighted averagebased on each investor’s number of limited partnership units outstanding during the year.years, respectively.
As a result of a jury’s verdict in favor of the City of Tempe, (see Note 7), the Partnership has temporarily suspended distributions, beginning with the second quarter of 2011 and continuing through first quarter 2012. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout the remainder of 2012. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short or long term basis, the Partnership may attempt to obtain additional funds by refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.
The General Partner and CCC will 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.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Through December 31, 2008, the Partnership has only entered into operating leases. Lease revenue is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the operating lease agreements. The Partnership reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit and may establish a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
The Partnership applies the provisions included in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic to all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This Topic emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Topic requires the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
| ● | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
| ● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require internal development of assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability. |
There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Fair Value Measurements on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | | Fair Value as of December 31, 2011 | | | Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy | |
| | | | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
| Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Equipment | | $ | 147,000 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 147,000 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | Fair Value as of December 31, 2010 | | | Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy | |

| Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Equipment | | $ | 100,000 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 100,000 | |
Equipment is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in conjunction with the Partnership's impairment analysis. An impairment charge of approximately $404,000 and $15,000 was recorded for equipment written down to fair value in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the equipment is calculated using an income approach for 2011 and income and market approaches for 2010. The income approach utilized discounted cash flows based on inputs classified as level 3, within the fair value hierarchy. The primary inputs for the cash flow models were estimates of cash flows from lease revenue and expected residual values, as determined by management. The fair value of the technology equipment under the market approach was determined using quoted market prices and other market information for similar assets.
Fair Value disclosures of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the balance sheet
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, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific computer equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at December 31, 2011 and 2010 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market rates.

Revenue Recognition
Through December 31, 2011, we have solely entered into operating leases. Lease revenue is recognized on a monthly straight-line basis which is in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement.
Our leases do not contain any step-rent provisions or escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any index.
Intangible Assets
Equipment acquisition costs and deferred expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over two-to-four year lives based on the original term of the lease and the loan, respectively. Unamortized acquisition costs and deferred expenses are charged to amortization expense when the associated leased equipment is sold.
Long-Lived Assets
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 an impairment exists. The amount of the impairment is determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. The fair value of the equipment is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. In 2008calculated using income and 2007, the Partnership determined that the carrying amount of certain assets was greater than the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets.

Reimbursable Expenses

For example, if the Partnershipa partnership has more investors than another program sponsored by CCC, then higher amounts of expenses related to investor services, including mailing and printing costs will be allocated to the Partnership.that partnership. Also, while the Partnershipa partnership is in its offering stage, higher compliance costs are allocated to it than to a program not in its offering stage, as compliance resources are utilized to review incoming investor suitability and proper documentation. Finally, lease related expenses, such as due diligence, correspondence, collection efforts and analysis and staff costs, increase as programs purchase more leases, and decrease as leases terminate and equipment is sold. All of these factors contribute to CCC’s determination as to the amount of expenses to allocate to the Partnership or to other sponsored programs. For the Partnership, all reimbursable expensesitems are expensed as they are incurred.

7.8. Commitments and Contingencies
In April 2007,Allied Health Care
On June 18, 2010, Commonwealth Capital Corp. (the parent of our general partner) filed suit on our behalf against Allied Health Care Services Inc. (“Allied”). Allied is a lessee Quick Loan Funding, Inc. began defaultingof medical equipment that failed to make its monthly lease payments since March 2010. Since March 2010, Commonwealth attempted on its lease payments. From April 2007 through the first quarter of 2008 we attempted several timesoccasions to collect payment of outstanding lease payments andrentals from Allied, but to recover the equipment from this lessee. On April 2, 2008, weno avail. The Partnership's suit was filed suit in the SuperiorU.S. District Court (District of Orange County, California (Docket No. 30-2008-00104785) against Quick Loan Funding, Inc.New Jersey - Case No 2:10-cv-03135), for all outstanding rents, the value of leased equipment and its owner, Daniel Sadek, to recover the unpaid lease payments, late fees and the equipment. In July 2008, we recovered a portionall costs of collection.
On August 19, 2010, an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code was filed against Allied in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. On September 3, 2010, Mr. Schwartz was arrested by the FBI for alleged mail fraud in connection with his medical equipment leased to Quick Loan Funding, and we are continuing to pursue all available means to recover the remainderleasing business. Additionally, Commonwealth was one of the equipment and the outstanding amounts owed to us. Onpetitioning creditors in an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed against Mr. Schwartz personally on September 24, 2008 we obtained a judgment against Quick Loan Funding for all amounts owed to us. We are currently17, 2010, in the process of executing this judgment against any available assets of Quick Loan Funding.
While we believe Quick Loan Funding is currently insolvent, to our knowledge no proceedings in bankruptcy have been initiated. We believe, based on our physical inspection of Quick Loan’s physical assets during our repossession efforts, that Quick Loan Funding may have sufficient assets to cover our judgment lien against it.same court. To date, the Partnership has recordedtaken a 100% reserve against all outstanding rentals in the amountAllied receivables, reflecting the uncertainty of approximately $43,000.For the years ended December 31 2008outcome of these cases and 2007 the Partnership recorded impairment charges of approximately $63,000 and $18,000, respectively. As of December 31 2008 the equipment had a net book value of zero.funds that may be available for creditors. The Partnershipbankruptcy trustee has not experiencedyet indicated whether he will pursue adversary claims against creditors seeking the return of pre-petition payments made by Allied, and therefore the Partnership's exposure to such potential claims remains indeterminable at this time.
Upon considering the criminal complaints against Mr. Schwartz and his alleged co-conspirator, related press releases, and due to Mr. Schwartz’ resulting conviction for fraud in November 2011, management has fully impaired all related equipment for approximately $370,000. Commonwealth continues to pursue all of our rights against both Allied and Mr. Schwartz to recover any significant changesavailable assets to the greatest extent possible.
MobilePro Corp./City of Tempe, AZ
Commonwealth Capital Corp. ("Commonwealth") has settled the litigation in which it was involved on the Partnership's behalf with the City of Tempe, Arizona related to this matter during the fourth quarter of 2008.
