2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management’s assessment of the following accounting pronouncements has changed since disclosed in its Form 10K for December 31, 2007.

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” (“SFAS No. 157”).  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 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 other accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities 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. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be adopted by the Partnership in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2008.   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 partially adopted SFAS No. 157 for all financial assets.  Adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the financial statements of the Partnership at March 31, 2008.

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 an 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.  Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset.  The partnershipPartnership determined that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). These statements are being made pursuant to the PSLRA, with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the PSLRA, and, other than as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or supplement such statements. Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact. They include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events. You can identify these statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expects,” “intend,” “predict” or “project” and variations of these words or comparable words or phrases of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs and expectations with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors outside our control that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its 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 Partnership to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Partnership bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Partnership believes that its critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
 
CCC,Commonwealth Capital Corp., 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 over estimated useful lives of four years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Through March 31, 2007,2008, the Partnership’s leasing operations consisted ofPartnership has only entered into operating leases.  Operating leaseLease revenue is recognized on a monthly straight-line basis which is generally in accordance with the terms of the operating lease agreement. Rent is recorded on a straight line basis. The company’sPartnership’s 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 establishes a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

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 an 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.  Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset.  The Partnership determined that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership’s primary source of capital for the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was cash provided by operating activities of approximately $734,000 and $1,312,000, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006 were contributions of approximately $02008 and $5,300,000, respectively.  The Partnership incurred and paid offering costs of approximately $0 and $593,000 during those same periods.  Equipment2007, equipment was purchased in the amount of approximately $513,000 and $887,000, was purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2007respectively, and distributions in the amount of $625,000 were paid during that same period.  Equipment in the amount of approximately $2,000,000 was purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and distributions in the amount of $525,000 were paid during that same$625,000 for each period.

The Partnership intends to invest approximately $11,698,000$2,500,000 in additional equipment for the remainder of 2007.2008.  The acquisition of this equipment will be funded by debt financing and the debt service will be funded from cash flows from lease rental payments.

For the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2007,2008, the Partnership generated cash was providedflows from operationsoperating activities in the amount of $1,312,000,approximately $734,000, which includes a net loss of $29,000,approximately $93,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $1,098,000.$1,441,000.  Other noncashnon-cash activities included in the determination of net income include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $325,000.$495,000.

For the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2006,2007, the Partnership generated cash was providedflows from operationsoperating activities in the amount of $466,000,$1,312,000, which includes a net loss of $248,000,approximately $29,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $464,000.$1,098,000.  Other noncashnon-cash activities included in the determination of net income include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $102,000.$325,000.

The Partnership's investment strategy 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.  As of March 31, 2007,2008, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of $4,735,000approximately $4,849,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 20072008 and $8,077,000approximately $3,829,000 thereafter.  As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding debt was approximately $2,639,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 6.3%, and will be payable through October 2010.

The Partnership’s cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and preferred distributions to Partners during the next 12-month period.  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 will attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.  The Partnership may, from time to time, reduce the 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 is considered necessary.
