Business | Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI (“CIGF6” or the “Partnership” or the “Fund”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 6, 2006. The Partnership offered for sale up to 2,500,000 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 May 10, 2007. The offering terminated on March 6, 2009 with 1,810,311 units sold for a total of approximately $36,000,000 in limited partner contributions. The Partnership used the proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and lease various types of information technology equipment and other similar capital equipment, which will be leased primarily to U.S. corporations and institutions. Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”), on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships that it manages based on certain risk factors. The Partnership’s General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC. CCC is a member of the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) and the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (“ELFA”). The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2023 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2025. Liquidity and Going Concern The General Partner and CCC have committed to fund, either through cash contributions and/or forgiveness of indebtedness, any necessary operational cash shortfalls of the Partnership through March 31, 2020. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2019 and will continue to waive certain fees. The General Partner and CCC will also determine if related party payables owed to the Partnership may be deferred (if deemed necessary in an effort to further increase the Partnership’s cash flow. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership may attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits. The Partnership has incurred recurring losses and has a working capital deficit at March 31, 2019. The Partnership believes it has alleviated these conditions as discussed above. Allocations of income and distributions of cash are based on the 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. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2018 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Financial information as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2019. Disclosure of Fair Value 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates. The Partnership classifies the fair value of its notes payable within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the observable inputs used to estimate fair value. Cash and cash equivalents We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. At March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was held in one account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $12,000. Bank account is federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At March 31, 2019, the total cash balance was as follows: At March 31, 2019 Balance Total bank balance $ 12,000 FDIC insured (12,000 ) Uninsured amount $ - The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2019 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Information and other Technology, Inventory Management Equipment and other Capital Equipment | The Partnership is the lessor of equipment under leases with periods that generally will range from 12 to 48 months. In general, associated costs such as repairs and maintenance, insurance and property taxes are paid by the lessee. Remarketing fees will be paid to the leasing companies from which the Partnership purchases leases. These are fees that are earned by the leasing companies when the initial terms of the lease have been met. The General Partner believes that this strategy adds value since it entices the leasing company to remain actively involved with the lessee and encourages potential extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment. This strategy is designed to minimize any conflicts the leasing company may have with a new lessee and may assist in maximizing overall portfolio performance. The remarketing fee is tied into lease performance thresholds and is a factor in the negotiation of the fee. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no remarketing fees incurred and/or paid with cash or netted against receivables due from such parties, respectively. Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gains from lease termination included in lease revenue for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were $0. CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated companies and partnerships (“partnerships”), acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various companies based on certain risk factors. The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at March 31, 2019 was approximately $2,636,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at March 31, 2019 was approximately $9,202,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at March 31, 2019 was approximately $163,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at March 31, 2019 was approximately $1,493,000. The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2018 was approximately $4,774,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2018 was approximately $13,440,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2018 was approximately $197,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2018 was approximately $1,701,000. As the Partnership and the other programs managed by the General Partner increase their overall portfolio size, opportunities for shared participation are expected to continue. Sharing in the acquisition of a lease portfolio gives the fund an opportunity to acquire additional assets and revenue streams, while allowing the fund to remain diversified and reducing its overall risk with respect to one portfolio. As additional investment opportunities arise during the remainder of 2019, the Partnership expects total shared equipment and related debt to trend higher as the Partnership builds its portfolio. The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum rentals on non-cancellable operating leases: Periods Ended December 31, Amount Nine months ended December 31, 2019 $ 335,000 Year ended December 31, 2020 140,000 Year ended December 31, 2021 21,000 $ 496,000 |

In addition, the General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership.

Our general partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, will use its business judgment to determine if a given fee is competitive, reasonable and customary. The amount of the fee will depend upon the amount of equipment we manage, which in turn will depend upon the amount we raise in this offering. Reductions in market rates for similar services would also reduce the amount of this fee we will receive. $ 9,000 $ 13,000 |

Commitments and Contingencies | Medshare In January 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of the equipment to Medshare Technologies (“Medshare”) for approximately $3,400,000. The Partnership’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately $77,000. As of May 15, 2019, the Partnership has received approximately $62,000 of the approximate $77,000 sale proceeds and has recorded a reserve against the outstanding receivable of approximately $12,000. On April 3, 2015 Medshare was obligated to make payment in full and failed to do so. As a result, Medshare defaulted on its purchase agreement with CCC and was issued a demand letter for full payment of the equipment. On June 25, 2015, Medshare filed a lawsuit in Texas state court for breach of contract (“State Suit”). On June 26, 2015, Commonwealth filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas against Medshare seeking payment in full and/or return of the Equipment and damages. In July 2016, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a $1,400,000 binding Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Medshare and its principal owner, Chris Cleary (collectively referred to as “Defendants”), who are held jointly and severally liable for the entire settlement. On August 2, 2016, the Defendants made payment to CCC of an initial $200,000 to be followed by 24 structured monthly payments of approximately $50,000 per month to begin no later than September 15, 2016. The Partnership’s share of the Settlement Agreement is approximately $23,000 and is to be applied against the net Medshare receivable of approximately $18,000 as of the settlement date. The remaining $5,000 will be applied against the $12,000 reserve and recorded as a bad debt recovery. As of May 15, 2019, the Partnership received approximately $9,000 of the approximate $23,000 settlement agreement which was applied against the net Medshare receivable of approximately $18,000 as of the settlement date. As Defendant defaulted on settlement agreement, CCC sought and obtained consent judgement from U.S. District Court for Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division on July 27, 2017 in the amount of $1.5 million, less $450,000 previously paid plus $6,757 in attorney fees, both Defendant and Cleary being jointly and severally liable for judgement amount. The court also vacated the September 21, 2016 settlement dismissal. On July 27, 2017 Defendant filed Chapter 11 in Northern District of Texas Dallas Division. On July 26, 2017 Legacy Texas Bank, a secured creditor of the Defendant filed for a TRO in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Included with the TRO filing was a request for appointment of trustee for operation of Defendant, which was granted and the case converted to Chapter 7. On December 18, 2018 the Bankruptcy Court entered final order and issued its last payment to CCC in March 2019 of approximately $43,000, of which the Partnership’s share was approximately $700. Although the trustee’s final distribution to Commonwealth did not fully satisfy the judgment, recovery may still be pursued directly against Cleary. As such, management believes that the foregoing will not result in any adverse financial impact on the Funds, but no assurance can be provided until the proceedings are resolved. FINRA On May 3, 2013, the FINRA Department of Enforcement filed a complaint naming Commonwealth Capital Securities Corp. (“CCSC”) and the owner of the firm, Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott, as respondents; however on October 22, 2013, FINRA filed an amended complaint that dropped the allegations against CCSC and reduced the scope of the allegations against Ms. Springsteen-Abbott. The sole remaining charge was that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott had approved the misallocation of some expenses to certain Funds. Management believes that the expenses at issue include amounts that were proper and that were properly allocated to Funds, and also identified a smaller number of expenses that had been allocated in error, but were adjusted and repaid to the affected Funds when they were identified in 2012. During the period in question, Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”) and Ms. Springsteen-Abbott provided important financial support to the Funds, voluntarily absorbed expenses and voluntarily waived fees in amounts aggregating in excess of any questioned allocations. A Hearing Panel ruled on March 30, 2015, that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott should be barred from the securities industry because the Panel concluded that she allegedly misallocated approximately $208,000 of expenses involving certain Funds over the course of three years. As such, management had allocated approximately $87,000 of the $208,000 in allegedly misallocated expenses back to the affected funds as a contingency accrual in CCC’s financial statements and a good faith payment for the benefit of those Income Funds. The decision of the Hearing Panel was stayed when it was appealed to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council (the “NAC”) pursuant to FINRA Rule 9311. The NAC issued a decision that upheld the lower panel’s ruling and the bar took effect on August 23, 2016. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott appealed the NAC’s decision to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On March 31, 2017, the SEC criticized that decision as so flawed that the SEC could not even review it, and remanded the matter back to FINRA for further consideration consistent with the SEC’s remand, but did not suggest any view as to a particular outcome. On July 21, 2017, FINRA reduced the list of 1,840 items totaling $208,000 to a remaining list of 84 items totaling $36,226 (which includes approximately $30,000 of continuing education expenses for personnel providing services to the Funds), and reduced the proposed fine from $100,000 to $50,000, but reaffirmed its position on the bar from the securities industry. Respondents promptly appealed FINRA’s revised ruling to the SEC. That appeal is pending as of May 15, 2019. All requested or allowed briefs have been filed with the SEC. Management believes that whatever final resolution of this may be, it will not result in any material adverse financial impact on the Funds, although a final assurance cannot be provided until the legal matter is resolved. |

Basis of Presentation | The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2018 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Financial information as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2019. |
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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates. The Partnership classifies the fair value of its notes payable within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the observable inputs used to estimate fair value. |
Cash and cash equivalents | We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. At March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents was held in one account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $12,000. Bank account is federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At March 31, 2019, the total cash balance was as follows: At March 31, 2019 Balance Total bank balance $ 12,000 FDIC insured (12,000 ) Uninsured amount $ - The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2019 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners. |
