NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

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.

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 equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocate a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships that it manages based on certain risk factors.

The Partnership’s investment 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 owned subsidiary of CCC. Approximately ten years after the commencement of operations (the “operational phase”), the Partnership intended to sell or otherwise dispose of all of its equipment; make final distributions to partners, and to dissolve. The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on February 4, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2020 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2022.

For the first and second quarter of 2017, the General Partner elected to forgo distributions and allocations of net income owed to it and suspended limited partner distributions. The General Partner will reassess the funding of limited partner distributions on a quarterly basis, throughout 2017.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Partnership has incurred recurring losses and has a working capital deficit at June 30, 2017. The Partnership believes it has alleviated these conditions as discussed below. 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 June 30, 2018. The General Partner and CCC will also determine if related party payables owed to them by the Partnership may be deferred (if deemed necessary) in an effort to further increase the Partnership’s cash flow.

The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2017 and will continue to waive certain fees if the General Partner determines it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. 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. Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions: the acquisition of lease equipment through debt financing. This strategy allows the General Partner to acquire additional revenue generating leases thus maximizing overall return. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Partnership has acquired approximately $376,000 in equipment, of which approximately $310,000 is leveraged.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2016 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, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2017.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment was necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Partnership’s long-term debt consists of notes payable, which are secured by specific equipment and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. The estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on the debt approximating current market interest rates. The Partnership classifies the fair value of its notes payable within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the observable inputs used to estimate fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less.

At June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents was held in two accounts maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $10,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At June 30, 2017, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At June 30, 2017	Balance
Total bank balance	$10,000
FDIC insured	(10,000)
Uninsured amount	$-

The Partnership’s bank balances are fully insured by the FDIC. The Partnership deposits its funds with a Moody's Aaa-Rated banking institution which is one of only three Aaa-Rated banks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amount in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2017 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions and interest rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-17— Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This standard was adopted January 1, 2017; however, adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Partnership’s financial statements during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments- The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Section A—Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification® Section B—Conforming Amendments Related to Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification® Section C—Background Information and Basis for Conclusions- Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for any of the following: A public business entity; A not-for-profit entity that has issued, or is a conduit bond obligor for, securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market; An employee benefit plan that files financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The new standard requires the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. This guidance also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. We have begun accumulating the information related to leases and are evaluating our internal processes and controls with respect to lease administration activities. Additionally, our business involves lease agreements with our customers whereby we are the lessor in the transaction. Accounting guidance for lessors is largely unchanged. Our evaluation of this guidance is ongoing and the impact that this new guidance will have on our financial statements has not yet been determined.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

3. Information Technology, Medical Technology, Telecommunications Technology, Inventory Management Equipment and other Business-Essential Capital Equipment (“Equipment”)

The Partnership is the lessor of equipment under operating leases with periods that generally will range from 12 to 48 months. In general, associated costs such as repairs and maintenance, insurance and property taxes are paid by the lessee.

Remarketing fees 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 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. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with lease extensions are accounted for as operating costs. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with the sale of equipment are included in the gain or loss calculations. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no remarketing fees were incurred or paid.

Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gains from lease termination included in lease revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $1,000 and $0, respectively.

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated companies and partnerships (“partnerships”), acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various companies based on certain risk factors.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at June 30, 2017 was approximately $2,975,000 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 June 30, 2017 was approximately $8,826,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at June 30, 2017 was approximately $380,000 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 June 30, 2017 was approximately $1,437,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2016 was approximately $4,166,000 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, 2016 was approximately $10,453,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2016 was approximately $186,000 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, 2016 was approximately $502,000.

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.

The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum rentals on non-cancellable operating leases at June 30, 2017:

For the period ended December	Amount
Six months ended December 31, 2017	$231,000
Year Ended December 31, 2018	243,000
Year Ended December 31, 2019	140,000
Year Ended December 31, 2020	27,000
	$641,000

Finance Leases:

The following lists the approximate components of the net investment in direct financing leases:

	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Total minimum lease payments to be received	$36,000	$55,000
Estimated residual value of leased equipment (unguaranteed)	17,000	17,000
Less: unearned income	(3,000)	(5,000)
Net investment in finance leases	$50,000	$67,000

We assess credit risk for all of our customers, including those that lease under finance leases. This credit risk is assessed using an internally developed model which incorporates credits scores from third party providers and our own customer risk ratings and is periodically reviewed. Our internal ratings are weighted based on the industry that the customer operates in. Factors taken into consideration when assessing risk include both general and industry specific qualitative and quantitative metrics. We separately take in to consideration payment history, open lawsuits, liens and judgments. Typically, we will not extend credit to a company that has been in business for less than 5 years or that has filed for bankruptcy within the same period. Our internally based model may classify a company as high risk based on our analysis of their audited financial statements. Additional considerations of high risk may include history of late payments, open lawsuits and liens or judgments. In an effort to mitigate risk, we typically require deposits from those in this category.

A reserve for credit losses is deemed necessary when payment has not been received for one or more months of receivables due on the equipment held under finance leases. At the end of each period, management evaluates the open receivables due on this equipment and determines the need for a reserve based on payment history and any current factors that would have an impact on payments.

The following table presents the credit risk profile, by creditworthiness category, of our direct finance lease receivables at June 30, 2017:

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

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we determined that we did not have a need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts associated with any of our finance leases, as the customer payment histories with us, associated with these leases, has been positive, with no late payments.

The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum rentals on non-cancellable finance leases at June 30, 2017:

	Amount
Six months ended December 31, 2017	$14,000
2018	20,000
2019	2,000
Total	$36,000

The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on February 4, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2020 through an investor proxy vote (see note 1). The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2022. If the Partnership should terminate, CCC will assume all remaining active leases at their fair market value and related remaining revenue stream and any associated debt obligation for the duration of the remaining lease term.

4. Related Party Transactions

Receivables/Payables

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s related party receivables and payables are short term, unsecured and non-interest bearing. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s related party receivables and payables are short term, unsecured, and non-interest bearing.

Six months ended June 30,	2017	2016
Reimbursable Expenses
The General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement by the Partnership for the cost of goods, supplies or services obtained and used by the General Partner in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership from third parties unaffiliated with the General Partner. 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the General Partner waived certain reimbursable expenses due to it by the Partnership. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership was charged approximately $0 and $70,000 in Other LP expense, respectively.	$93,000	$210,000

Equipment Management Fee
The General Partner is entitled to be paid for managing the equipment portfolio a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (i) the fees which would be charged by an independent third party for similar services for similar equipment or (ii) the sum of (a) two percent of (1) the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to full payout net leases which contain net lease provisions plus (2) the purchase price paid on conditional sales contracts as received by the Partnership and (b) 5% and 2% of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases, respectively. In an effort to increase future cash flow for the fund our General Partner had elected to reduce the percentage of equipment management fees paid to it from 5% to 2.5% of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases. The reduction was effective beginning in July 2010 and remained in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, equipment management fees of approximately $4,000 were earned but were waived by the General Partner.	$-	$5,000

These notes are secured by specific equipment with a carrying value of approximately $724,000 as of June 30, 2017 and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership. As such, the notes do not contain any financial debt covenants with which we must comply on either an annual or quarterly basis. Aggregate approximate maturities of notes payable for each of the periods subsequent to June 30, 2017 are as follows:

	Amount
Six months ended December 31, 2017	$151,000
Year ended December 31, 2018	218,000
Year ended December 31, 2019	130,000
Year ended December 31, 2020	21,000
	$520,000

The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on February 4, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2020 through an investor proxy vote (see note 1). The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2022. If the Partnership should terminate, CCC will assume the obligation related to any remaining notes payable for the duration of the remaining lease term.

During 2015, the General Partner executed a collateralized debt financing agreement on behalf of certain affiliates for a total shared loan amount of approximately $847,000, of which the Partnership’s share was approximately $101,000. The Partnership’s portion of the current loan amount at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $37,000 and $55,000, respectively, and is secured by specific equipment under both operating and finance leases. The carrying value of the secured equipment under operating leases at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is $7,000 and $12,000, respectively. The carrying value of the secured equipment under finance leases at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is approximately $53,000 and $72,000, respectively.

6. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

No interest or principal on notes payable was paid by the Partnership during 2017 and 2016 because direct payment was made by lessee to the bank in lieu of collection of lease income and payment of interest and principal by the Partnership.

Other noncash activities included in the determination of net loss are as follows:

Six months ended June 30,	2017	2016
Lease revenue net of interest expense on notes payable realized as a result of direct payment of principal by lessee to bank	$160,000	$199,000

Noncash investing and financing activities include the following:

Six months ended June 30,	2017	2016
Debt assumed in conjunction with purchase of equipment	$310,000	$118,000

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership wrote-off fully amortized acquisition and finance fees of approximately $0 and $6,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership wrote-off fully depreciated equipment of approximately $53,000 and $0, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Investor Complaint

On November 10, 2015, certain investors (the “Claimants”) of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund V (“CIGF5”) and Commonwealth Income & Growth Private Fund III (“CIGPF3”) (Collectively referred to as the “Funds”), filed an investor complaint with FINRA naming CCSC and Ms. Springsteen-Abbott (the “Respondents”). The Claimants, at the advice and recommendation of their personal financial advisors, purchased limited partnership units in CIGF5 between February 2005 and February 2006 and in CIGPF3 between April 2005 and February 2007. The Claimants allege that the Respondents did not properly perform their duties as fund manager. The Funds are not members of FINRA and/or subject to its jurisdiction.

The Respondents filed a complaint on December 23, 2015, against the Claimants in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland to enjoin the Claimants from proceeding with the arbitration and requiring its dismissal. The Claimants withdrew its complaint with FINRA on July 27, 2016. On August 1, 2016, the Respondents were granted voluntary dismissal in Federal court given the withdrawal of the FINRA claim.

On September 28, 2016, 23 investors, in addition to the original Claimants (the “Florida Claimants”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Albers et al. v. Commonwealth Capital Corp. et al., Case No. 6:16-cv-01713-Orl-37DCI, against the Partnership, Commonwealth Income & Growth Private Fund I, Commonwealth Income & Growth Private Fund II, CIGPF3 and CIGF5. The allegation consists of breach of contract, securities fraud, misstatement in the prospectus, fraudulent concealment, negligence, common law fraud (the “Original Complaint”). On October 18, 2016, the judge dismissed the Original Complaint without prejudice with leave to refile. The judge dismissed the Original Complaint for procedural failures. On October 28, 2016, the Florida Claimants filed an amended complaint that included the original claims with the addition of claims for negligent supervision and breach of industry standards (“Amended Complaint’). On July 17, 2017 the United States Court for the Middle District of Florida dismissed all claims and closed the file.

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. That Panel ruled on March 30, 2015, that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott should be barred from the securities industry because the Panel concluded that she allegedly misallocated approximately $208,000 of expenses involving certain Funds over the course of three years. As such, management has 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. Decisions issued by FINRA's Office of Hearing Officers may be appealed to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council (NAC) pursuant to FINRA Rule 9311. The NAC Decision upheld the Panel’s ruling. The bar took effect on August 23, 2016. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott appealed the NAC Decision to the SEC. On March 31, 2017, the SEC 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 reaffirmed its position on the bar from the securities industry, but reduced the list of 1,840 items totaling $208,000 to a remaining list of 84 items totaling $36,226, and reduced the proposed fine from $100,000 to $50,000. On August 14, 2017 respondents appealed FINRA’s revised ruling. As of August 14, 2017, management believes that final resolution will not result in any material adverse financial impact on the Funds, but no assurance can be provided until the legal matter is resolved. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has filed a Notice of Appeal with the SEC.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association’s (ELFA) Monthly Leasing and Finance Index (MLFI-25), which reports economic activity from 25 companies representing a cross section of the $1 trillion equipment finance sector, showed their overall new business volume for June was $9.8 billion, down 2% year-over-year from new business volume in June 2016. Volume was up 27% month-to-month from $7.7 billion in May. Year to date, cumulative new business volume was up 5% compared to 2016. Receivables over 30 days were 1.30%, down from 1.40% the previous month and down from 1.40% in the same period in 2016. Charge-offs were 0.38%, down from 0.47% the previous month, and down from 0.65% in the year-earlier period. Credit approvals totaled 75.9% in June, down from 77% in May. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was up 16.6% year over year, largely attributable to continued acquisition activity at an MLFI reporting company. Separately, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation’s Monthly Confidence Index (MCI-EFI) for July is 63.5, steady with the two previous months.

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.

See Note 2 to our condensed financial statements included herein for a discussion related to recent accounting pronouncements.

LEASE INCOME RECEIVABLE

Lease income receivable includes current lease income receivable net of allowances for uncollectible 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. When the analysis indicates that the probability of full collection is unlikely, the Partnership may establish an allowance for uncollectible lease income receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Partnership writes off its lease income receivable when it determines that it is uncollectible and all economically sensible means of recovery have been exhausted.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Through June 30, 2017, the Partnership’s lease portfolio consisted of operating and finance leases. For operating leases, lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreements.

Finance lease interest income is recorded over the term of the lease using the effective interest method. For finance leases, we record, at lease inception, unearned finance lease income which is calculated as follows: total lease payments, plus any residual values and initial direct costs, less the cost of the leased equipment.

Upon the end of the lease term, if the lessee has not met the return conditions as set out in the lease, the Partnership is entitled, in certain cases, to additional compensation from the lessee. The Partnership’s accounting policy for recording such payments is to treat them as revenue.

Gain or losses from sales of leased and off lease equipment are recorded on a net basis in the Fund’s condensed Statement of Operations.

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

Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gains from lease termination included in lease revenue for the three months ended June 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $1,000 and $0, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Depreciation on equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to four years. Once an asset comes off lease or is re-leased, the Partnership reassesses the useful life of an asset.

The Partnership evaluates its long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Partnership determines whether impairment exists by estimating the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by each asset. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset then impairment exists. The amount of the impairment is determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset, third party appraisals or comparable sales of similar assets, as applicable, based on asset type.

Residual values are determined by management and are calculated using information from both internal and external sources, as well as other economic indicators.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $38,000, payments from finance leases of approximately $19,000 and net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $1,000. This compares to the six months ended June 30, 2016 where our primary sources of cash was payments from finance leases of approximately $19,000 and net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $37,000.

Our primary use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was the purchase of new equipment of approximately $66,000. Our primary uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was cash used in operating activities of approximately $48,000 and the purchase of new equipment of approximately $44,000.

As we continue to acquire equipment for the equipment portfolio, operating expenses 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.

Cash was used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $7,000, which includes a net loss of approximately $135 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $204,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $160,000. Cash was used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of approximately $48,000, which includes a net loss of approximately $165,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $321,000. Other non-cash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $199,000.

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less.

Total bank balance	$10,000

Our investment strategy of acquiring equipment and generally leasing it under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet specified financial standards minimizes our operating expenses. As of June 30, 2017, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $231,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2017 and approximately $410,000 thereafter. As of June 30, 2017, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable finance leases of approximately $14,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2017 and approximately $22,000 thereafter.

As of June 30, 2017, our non-recourse debt was approximately $520,000, with interest rates ranging from 1.8% to 6.0%, and will be payable through November 2020.

The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on February 4, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2020 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2022. As such, the Partnership will continue to report its financial statements on a going concern basis until a formal plan of liquidation is approved by the General Partner.

As the Partnership and the other programs managed by the General Partner increase their overall portfolio size, opportunities for shared participation are expected to continue. Sharing in the acquisition of a lease portfolio gives the fund an opportunity to acquire additional assets and revenue streams, while allowing the fund to remain diversified and reducing its overall risk with respect to one portfolio. Thus, total shared equipment and related debt should continue to trend higher in fiscal 2017, as the Partnership builds its portfolio.

Our cash flow from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to cover all operating expenses and liabilities during the next 12-month period. If available cash flow or net 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 its permissible limits.

The General Partner elected to forgo distributions and allocations of net income owed to it, and suspended limited partner distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2017 and will continue to waive certain fees if the General Partner determines it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. 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 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 June 30, 2018. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2017 and will continue to waive certain fees if the General Partner determines it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. 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. Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions; the acquisition of lease equipment through financing. This strategy allows the General Partner to acquire additional revenue generating leases without the use of investor funds, thus maximizing overall return.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to three months ended June 30, 2016

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from approximately $180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to more lease agreements ending versus new lease agreements being acquired.

The Partnership had 77 and 82 operating leases during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in number of active leases is consistent with the overall decrease in lease revenue. Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout the remainder of 2017, funded primarily through debt financing. As the operational phase of the Partnership has been extended to December 31, 2020, management will continue to seek lease opportunities to enhance portfolio returns and cash flow.

Sale of Equipment

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Partnership sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $1,000 for net of approximately $0. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership sold equipment with a net book value of approximately $2,000 for a net gain of approximately $22,000.

Operating 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 $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from approximately $133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in legal fees associated with the Investor Complaint (see note 7) of approximately $61,000, other LP expenses of approximately $32,000 and accounting fees of approximately $7,000.

Equipment Management Fees

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 of approximately $4,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was earned but waived by the General Partner.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to significant leases that became fully depreciated, partially offset by new equipment acquisitions.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized revenue of approximately $160,000 and expenses of approximately $148,000, resulting in net income of approximately $12,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized revenue of approximately $204,000 and expenses of approximately $275,000, resulting in net loss of approximately $71,000. This change in net loss is due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to six months ended June 30, 2016

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $299,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from approximately $358,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decline was primarily due to fewer acquisitions of new leases during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the termination of leases.

The Partnership had 79 and 81 operating leases during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in number of active leases is consistent with the overall decrease in lease revenue. Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout the remainder of 2017, funded primarily through debt financing. As the operational phase of the Partnership has been extended to December 31, 2020, management will continue to seek lease opportunities to enhance portfolio returns and cash flow.

Sale of Equipment

The Partnership sold equipment with net book value of approximately $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 for a net gain of $37. This compared to equipment sold for the six months ended June 30, 2016 with net book value of approximately $2,000, for a net gain of approximately $35,000.

Operating 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 $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from approximately $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in other LP expenses of approximately $70,000, legal fees associated with the Investor complaint (see note 7) of approximately $51,000 and accounting fees of approximately $12,000.

Equipment Management Fees

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 of approximately $5,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was earned but waived by the General Partner.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to significant leases that became fully depreciated, partially offset by new equipment acquisitions.

Net Loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized revenue of approximately $302,000, expenses of approximately $313,000 and an insurance recovery of approximately $11,000, resulting in a net loss of $135. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized revenue of approximately $397,000 and expenses of approximately $562,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately $165,000. This change in net loss is due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

N/A

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures related to our reporting and disclosure obligations as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to us which is required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.
