Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in May 2003.  The Partnership offered for sale up to 1,250,000 units of the limited partnership at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the “offering”).  The Partnership reached the minimum amount in escrow and commenced operations on March 14, 2005.  As of February 24, 2006, the Partnership was fully subscribed.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 limited partners redeemed 832 units of the partnership for a total redemption price of approximately $5,000 in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.

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

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

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 year-end 2011.first quarter 2012. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2011. the remainder of 2012. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short andor 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

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 20102011 has been prepared from the books and records without audit.  Financial information as of December 31, 20102011 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included.  For further information regarding the Partnership’s accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and related notes included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.2011.  Operating results for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2011.2012.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, judgment was necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2010.2011 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific technology equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market values.

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

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Allied Health Care ServicesMobilePro Corp./City of Tempe, AZ

The bankruptcy proceedings regarding our former lessee, Allied Health Care Services Inc. (“Allied”) and its owner, Charles K. Schwartz, remain ongoing.  Due to the bankruptcy proceedings, management can not determine, at this time, the status of the equipment leased to Allied or the amounts that may ultimately be paid to us from the bankruptcy estates.   The timeline for identifying and recovering assets is uncertain, with resolution depending in large part upon the Trustee’s resolution of certain legal disputes and the cooperation of the various parties involved. Due to the complexity of the alleged fraud and the number of parties involved, we expect that completion of asset recovery by the trustee, and distribution to creditors will take in excess of six additional months from the date of this form 10-Q filing.

Our share of exposure related to the Allied default (if no rent is collected, the equipment is not paid for and/or we are unable to obtain performance under partial personal guaranty) is approximately $474,000 as of September 30, 2011 net of a reserve taken against substantially all the Allied receivables.

City of Tempe
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, Commonwealth Capital Corp. ("Commonwealth") has beensettled the litigation in which it was involved in litigation 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 of wi-fi equipment installed throughout the City of Tempe as part of a municipal broadband wireless network.  Due to a dispute between Commonwealth and Tempe regarding ownership of and access to the wi-fi equipment post-default, Commonwealth and Tempe sued each other for the equipment and various amounts of damages.  A jury trial of Case No. CV09-00274 was held in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona 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 and against Commonwealth Capital Corp. in the amount of $1,808,904.  The Partnership’s share of the judgment, based upon its proportionate participation in the MobilePro lease transaction, iswas $866,217.  Commonwealth Capital Corp.Commonwealth. filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on September 23, 2011 and believesrequiring that multiple grounds are available for an appeal that will either set aside or reduce the amount of the judgment. In connection therewith, Commonwealth has posted a bond with the court as security during the appeal in July 2011.  The Partnership providedcontribute its proportionate share of the cash needed($960,000) to obtain a $2,000,000 letter of credit required to post an appeal bond and commence the appeal.  Commonwealth and the City of Tempe agreed to settle the dispute at a mediation held on March 9, 2012, with Commonwealth agreeing to pay a reduced judgment of $1,175,000, of which the Partnership’s share is approximately $564,000. The final settlement agreement was used assigned in March 30, 2012, and payment made to the City of Tempe on April 3, 2012. The remainder of the bond collateral, after payment of banking fees, will be returned to Commonwealth and the Partnership’s proportionate share (approximately $395,000) will be allocated back to the Partnership.

Allied Health Care Services

As previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the bond. The Partnership has recordedyear ended December 31, 2011, management had fully impaired all equipment and reserved for all accounts receivable related to the lease to Allied Health Care Services, Inc. (“Allied”), due to the bankruptcy of Allied and the criminal conviction of its sharefounder for fraud.  There have been no material changes in the status of Allied’s bankruptcy or in the likelihood of recovering available assets since the date of the collateral, $960,000, as restricted cash in our condensed balance sheet, asPartnership’s annual report. The bankruptcy trustee has not yet indicated whether he will pursue adversary claims against creditors seeking the return of September 30, 2011.  Management has determined a range of probable loss associated withpre-petition payments made by Allied, and therefore the Partnership’s exposure to such potential claims remains indeterminable at this litigation, in light of the uncertain nature of the appeal, and has accrued a loss contingency in the amount of $176,000 as of September 30, 2011.  It remains reasonably possible that the loss exposure could ultimately remain at approximately $866,000 if we are wholly unsuccessful upon appeal, or are unable to reach a settlement.time.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY, INVENTORY MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT AND OTHER BUSINESS-ESSENTIAL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT
 
CCC,Commonwealth Capital Corp., on our behalf and on behalf of other affiliated partnerships, acquires information technology 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 information technology equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to four years.

The Equipment Leasing and 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 3rd Quarter of 2011 increasing 25% relative to the third quarter of 2010.  Credit quality continues to improve as the rate of receivables aged in excess of 30 days has improved on average 32.4% from the 3rd quarter of 2010 through the 2nd quarter of 2011.  Sixty percent of  ELFA reporting members reported submitting more transactions for approval during the 3rd quarter 2011 compared to the same period the year prior.  For 2011-2012 ELFA has forecast a 12% increase in finance volume year over year.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Through September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, 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.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We evaluate ourThe Partnership evaluates its long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable.  We determineThe 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.value and is included in depreciation expense in the accompanying financial statements.  The fair value of equipment is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. We determined no impairment analysis was necessary at September 30, 2011 and 2010 as no impairment indicators were noted.calculated using income or market approaches.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sourcessource of cash for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011 wereMarch 31, 2012 was provided by operating activities that generated  approximately $838,000, borrowing from affiliate of approximately $506,000$181,000 and from the proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $403,000, compared$7,000.  This compares to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 where our primary sourcessource of cash werewas from operating activities that generatedof approximately $1,518,000$680,000 and proceeds from the sale of equipment ofwere approximately $318,000.$151,000.

Our primary usesuse of cash for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 was for the purchase of new equipment of approximately $259,000 and for equipment acquisition fees of approximately $31,000.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our primary uses of cash were for distributions to partners of approximately $448,000, escrow –restricted cashand for capital expenditures of approximately $960,000 and the purchase of new information technology equipment of approximately $237,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 distributions to partners were approximately $1,857,000, and our capital expenditures were approximately $333,000.$52,000.

Capital expenditures are expected to generally remain constantoccur during the remainder of 2011.2012, as management focuses on additional equipment acquisitions. We intend to invest approximately $1,150,000$1,200,000 in additional equipment during the remainder of 2011, primarily through leveraged investments.2012.  The acquisition of this equipment will be primarily funded by debt financing. Any debt service will be funded from cash flows from lease rental payments, and not from public offering proceeds.

As a resultwe continue to acquire equipment for the equipment portfolio, operating expenses may increase, but because of a jury’s verdict in favorour investment strategy of the City of Tempe, (see  Part II:  Item 1, Legal Proceedings), management has suspended distributionsleasing equipment primarily through triple-net leases, we avoid operating expenses related to investors until at least the first quarter of 2012, and we may also refinanceequipment maintenance or leverage equipment to meet our cash flow needs, if necessary.taxes.

Cash was provided by operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 of approximately $838,000,$181,000, which includes a net loss of approximately $876,000, a gain on sale of equipment of approximately $63,000$41,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $1,208,000.$251,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $138,000.

$67,000. Additionally we had a gain on the sale of equipment in the amount of approximately $3,000.  For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 cash was also generated by operating activities of approximately $1,518,000,$680,000, which includes a net loss of approximately $1,255,000, a gain on sale of equipment of approximately $253,000$289,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $3,026,000.$522,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $217,000.$56,000. Additionally we had a gain on the sale of equipment in the amount of $45,000.  

To the extent that we increase the size of our equipment portfolio, operating expenses will increase, which reflects the administrative costs of servicing the portfolio. Because of our investment strategy of leasing technology equipment primarily through triple-net leases, we avoid operating expenses related to equipment maintenance or taxes when we add equipment to the portfolio.  Depreciation expenses will likely increase more rapidly than operating expenses if we add technology equipment to our portfolio.

At September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, cash was held in three accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $178,000.$97,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000, while pursuant to the Dodd/Frank Act of 2010, some accounts are fully insured by the FDIC.  At September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 Amount 
Total bank balance $ 178,00097,000 
FDIC insured  (178,00097,000)
Uninsured amount $- 

The Partnership’s bank balances are fully insured by the FDIC.  The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.  The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 20112012 due to many factors, including the pace of additional limited partner contributions, cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, payment of operating expenses and other liabilities,interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Our investment strategy of acquiring information technology equipment and generally leasing it under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet specified financial standards minimizes our operating expenses.  As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $312,000$770,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 20112012 and approximately $578,000$1,343,000 thereafter.  

As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, our debt was approximately $219,000,$914,000, with interest rates ranging from 5.89%3.95% to 7.50%, and will be payable in monthly installments through April 2013. In addition, the Partnership had a payable to an affiliate of approximately $506,000 with an interest rate of prime plus 3% and is payable on demand.March 2015.

Our cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and liabilitiesdistributions to Partners during the next 12-month period.   If available cash flow or net equipment disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover our expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, we will attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within our permissible limits.  Since our leases are triple-net leases,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 General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout the remainder of 2012. The General Partner and therefore no reserve for maintenance and repairs isCCC will determine if related party payables owed to them by the Partnership may be deferred (if deemed necessary.necessary) in an effort to increase the Partnership’s cash flow.

Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized revenue of approximately $364,000 and expenses of approximately $424,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $60,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized revenue of approximately $730,000 and expenses of approximately $1,117,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $387,000.  

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $350,000$290,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, from $562,000approximately $410,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to more lease agreements ending versus new lease agreements being acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012.

Interest and other revenue from cash held at financial institutions decreased to approximately $2,000$200 for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 from approximately $6,000$4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 which is consistent with the decrease in cash due to new equipment purchases and distributions for the same period. The amounts in such accounts that generate interest revenue will fluctuate throughoutMarch 31, 2011 due to many factors, includinga lower miscellaneous income attributable to decreased billings for damaged equipment during the pacethree months ended March 31, 2012.
Sale of cash receipts,Equipment

We sold equipment acquisitions and distributionswith a net book value of approximately $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, for a net gain of approximately $3,000. This compared to limited partners.equipment that we sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 with a net book value of approximately $105,000, for a net gain of approximately $45,000.

Operating and Legal Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership.  These expenses decreased to approximately $56,000$64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, from approximately $130,000$210,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in various administrative expenses, as well as a decrease in legal expenses due to lower expenses from CCC including the waiving of certain administrative expenses, associated with the operationsettlement in 2012 of the Partnership.  MobilePro/Tempe litigation. See note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
 
Equipment Management Fee

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 2.50% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases. The equipment management fee decreased to approximately $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from approximately $14,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, which is consistent with the decrease in lease revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on information technology equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $325,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from approximately $890,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was due to equipment being fully depreciated and not being replaced with new equipment, due to acquisition fees becoming fully amortized.

Sale of Technology Equipment

We sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, for a net gain of approximately $12,000, compared to equipment that we sold for the three months ended September 30, 2010 with a net book value of approximately $20,000, for a net gain of approximately $162,000. 
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2010

Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $1,125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from approximately $2,276,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was primarily due to more lease agreements ending versus new lease agreements being acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Lease revenue also decreased because we ceased booking revenues on the Allied leases completely in July 2010.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership.  These expenses decreased to approximately $405,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from approximately $574,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was primarily attributable to lower expenses from CCC, including the waiving of certain administrative expenses, associated with the operation of the partnership.  

Our legal fees increased to approximately $231,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 from approximately $35,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to legal fees associated with the City of Tempe, Arizona litigation.

A contingency loss of approximately $176,000, also related to the City of Tempe, Arizona litigation, was recorded in the second quarter of 2011.  There was no such loss in 2010.

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 2.5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases. The equipment management fee decreased to approximately $28,000$8,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 from approximately $100,000$10,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, which is consistent with the decrease in lease revenue. Additionally, our General Partner  reduced the percentage from 5% to 2.5% from July 2010 going forward, which also contributed to the reduction in equipment management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
