NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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”). Approximately ten years after the commencement of operations, the Partnership intends 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 December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2021 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2023.

Liquidity

The General Partner elected to forgo distributions and allocations of net income owed to it, and suspended limited partner distributions. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2020 and will continue to waive certain fees. The General Partner and CCC will also defer certain related party payables owed to the Partnership in an effort to further increase the Partnership’s cash flow (see Note 8 – Subsequent Events). 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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.

7

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, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were held in one account 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 March 31, 2020, the total cash balance was as follows:

At March 31, 2020	Balance
Total bank balance	$10,000
FDIC insured	(10,000)
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 2020 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

FASB issued a new guidance, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The new guidance requires an allowance for credit losses based on the expectation of lifetime credit losses on financial receivables carried at amortized cost, including, but not limited to, mortgage loans, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables and certain leases. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for financial assets reported at amortized cost will be applicable to receivables associated with sales-type and direct financing leases but not to operating lease receivables.

The FASB developed the guidance in response to concerns that credit losses were identified and recorded “too little, too late” in the period leading up to the global financial crisis of 2008. More recently, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may bring new challenges to identifying credit losses. While the new standard is expected to have a significant effect on entities in the financial services industry, particularly banks and others with lending operations, the guidance affects all entities in all industries and applies to a wide variety of financial instruments, including trade receivables.

ASC 326-20’s CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The standard provides entities with significant flexibility in how to pool financial assets with similar risk characteristics, determine the contractual term and obtain and adjust the relevant historical loss information that serves as the starting point for developing the estimate of expected lifetime credit losses.

The Financial reporting developments (“FRD”) addresses the new guidance on the following topics:

● The current expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model (ASC 326-20) for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including net investments (i.e. for sales-type lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset; for direct finance lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset less any deferred selling profit).

● The available-for-sale (AFS) debt security impairment model (ASC 326-30)

● The initial recognition of what are called purchased financial assets with evidence of credit deterioration or purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets

● The accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets in the scope of ASC 325-40, Investments — Other — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets

On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.

In January 2020, The FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU clarifies that the observable price changes in orderly transactions that should be considered when applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 include transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under ASC 323. For example, as it relates to investments for which the measurement alternative is elected, if an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical investment or similar security of the same issuer results in a change in ownership that causes the investor to either newly apply or discontinue the equity method, the carrying amount of the security accounted for under the measurement alternative should be adjusted to its fair value immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

ASU 2020-01 also addresses questions about how to apply the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” for certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities that, upon settlement or exercise, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The ASU clarifies that, for the purpose of applying ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” An entity also should evaluate the remaining characteristics in ASC 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options.

For public business entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period, (a) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (b) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.

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

Gains or losses from the sale of equipment are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Gain from the sale of equipment included in lease revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $34,000 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 March 31, 2020 was approximately $2,539,000 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, 2020 was approximately $9,007,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at March 31, 2020 was approximately $64,000 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, 2020 was approximately $687,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2019 was approximately $2,539,000 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, 2019 was approximately $9,007,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2019 was approximately $88,000 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, 2019 was approximately $873,000.

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 2020, 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, 2020	$163,000
Year ended December 31, 2021	28,000
Year ended December 31, 2022	8,000
Year ended December 31, 2023	8,000
Year ended December 31, 2024	6,000
	$213,000

The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023. CCC will assume the rights to the remaining active leases and their related remaining revenue stream through their termination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Receivables/Payables

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s related party receivables and payables are short term, unsecured and non-interest bearing.

Three months ended March 31,	2020	2019
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 March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Partnership was charged approximately $22,000 and $27,000 in Other LP expense, respectively.	$89,000	$74,000
Equipment management fee
The general partner is entitled to be paid a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (a) the fees which would be charged by an independent third party in the same geographic market for similar services and equipment or (b) the sum of (i) two percent of gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to full payout net leases which contain net lease provisions and (ii) five percent of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to operating leases. 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.	$8,000	$9,000

11

5. Notes Payable

Notes payable consisted of the following approximate amounts:

	March 31, 2020	December 31, 2019

	$123,000

The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023. CCC will assume the obligation and rights to the remaining notes payable and its related secured equipment as described above through their termination.

6. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

No interest or principal on notes payable was paid by the Partnership during 2020 and 2019 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:

Three months ended March 31,	2020	2019
Lease revenue net of interest expense on notes payable realized as a result of direct payment of principal by lessee to bank	$37,000	$108,000

Noncash investing and financing activities include the following:

Three months ended March 31,	2020	2019

7. 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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 judgment 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 judgment 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.  The Medshare Bankruptcy matter is now closed. 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 already reallocated back approximately $151,225 of the $208,000 (in allegedly misallocated expenses) to the affected funds, which was fully documented, as good faith payments 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 87 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.  All the requested or allowed briefs have been filed with the SEC.  The SEC upheld FINRA’s order on February 7, 2020 to bar, but eliminated FINRA’s proposed fine.  Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has filed a Petition for Review in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review a final order entered against her by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  As the SEC eliminated FINRA’s fine completely, Management is even more confident that regardless of final resolution, it will not result in any material adverse financial impact to the Funds, although a final assurance cannot be provided until the legal matter is resolved.  That appeal is pending as of May 15, 2020.

8. Subsequent Events

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The Fund’s operation is located in Florida, which has been restricted during April-May for gatherings of people due to the coronavirus outbreak. On May 4th, Governor DeSantis of Florida started his plan to begin opening certain retail stores and restaurants at limited capacity. At present, the Fund’s operations have not been adversely affected and continue to function effectively.

●

On May 11th, certain administrative employees will begin to return to the office on a full-time basis, based on a three-phase plan.

●

On May 4th, the General Partner applied and received a grant for Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) based on the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferments of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modification to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

●

The General Partner may be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP loan based on the sum of the costs incurred and payments made during the 8-week covered period (average number of full-time employees of the borrower per month between January 1, 2020 and February 29, 2020) on:

■

Payroll costs

■

Any interest payment on any covered mortgage obligation (not including any prepayment of or principal payment on a covered mortgage obligation),

■

Any payment on any covered rent obligation, and

■

Any covered utility payment

●

The full principal amount of the loan and accrued interest may be forgiven, borrowers must follow the Small Business Association’s (“SBA’s”) strict guidelines on the use of the loan proceeds to obtain full loan forgiveness. Notably, a borrower must use the full loan amount within the 8-week period, with 75 percent of that amount going towards payroll costs. We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business through the General Partner and indirectly, the Funds.

●

The Funds do not have any employees. The General Partner provides administrative services, such as sales and marketing, IT, legal and accounting that indirectly benefit the Fund, which pay for these services through an agreed upon partnership agreement. The PPP loan provides additional stimulus to the General Partner to maintain an on-going group of employees, without any furlough or layoffs during this COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Related Party Payables

In order to provide additional support for the Partnership, the General Partner (“GP”) has converted certain payables that were classified as current to noncurrent payables. These payables were deferred to increase the Partnership’s cash flow from the date of issuance of our audited financial statements. To provide additional support to the Partnership, CCC agreed to convert approximately $128,000 of payables from due on demand to long term. Such payables won't be due until sometime after April 15, 2021.

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 $900 billion equipment finance sector, showed their overall new business volume for March was $8.9 billion, up 9 % year-over-year from new business volume in March 2019. Volume was up 31 % month-to-month from $6.8 billion in February. Year-to-date, cumulative new business volume was up 17 % compared to 2019.

Receivables over 30 days were 2.60 %, up from 2.00 % the previous month and up from 1.90 % the same period in 2019. Charge-offs were 0.55 %, up from 0.51 % the previous month, and up from 0.37 % in the year-earlier period.

Credit approvals totaled 74.2 %, down from 74.7 % in February. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was down 2.9 % year-over-year.

Separately, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation’s Monthly Confidence Index (MCI-EFI) decreased from 46.0 in March to a historic low of 22.3 in April due to the impact of COVID-19.

ELFA President and CEO Ralph Petta said, “The increase in March new business volume data is misleading. It presents a ‘tale of two cities.’ During the first half of the month, economic activity and industry performance were strong, mirroring overall strength in the U.S. economy. However, during the second half of March, as the coronavirus pandemic’s impact—both from a health and economic standpoint—entered the country’s consciousness, all that changed. One need not look any further than the delinquency and charge-off data to understand the myriad challenges confronting U.S. businesses, both large and small, in the weeks and months ahead as this insidious disease grips the nation and our people. For now, acquiring and financing business equipment takes a back seat to critical efforts by families vitally concerned about their health and safety. Things we know: this crisis is temporary; the equipment leasing and finance industry’s resilience and resolve are enduring.”

Nancy Pistorio, CLFP, President, Madison Capital LLC, said, “March results for the equipment finance industry illustrate how robust activity was as we headed into the final month of the first quarter. However, due to coronavirus-induced containment measures, many businesses began to close in mid-March and, not unexpectedly, delinquency is beginning to rise. As evidenced by declining approvals, new business is and will continue to be negatively impacted. This will be an extremely challenging time for our industry. I believe independents in the small-ticket space will be hit particularly hard as their customers—small and medium-sized businesses—struggle to survive in the wake of widespread shutdowns. With a developing global economic recession, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation currently projects an 8.6% to 13.5% contraction in equipment and software investment for this year. Government officials relaxing stay-at-home orders and allowing those at low risk to return to work under a responsible plan, sooner rather than later, will be essential in mitigating further economic decline.

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 our 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.

16

LEASE INCOME RECEIVABLE

Lease income receivable includes current lease income receivable net of allowances for uncollectible amounts, if any. The Partnership monitors lease income receivable to ensure timely and accurate payment by lessees. The Partnership’s Lease Relations department is responsible for monitoring lease income receivable and, as necessary, resolving outstanding invoices.

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

The Partnership is principally engaged in business of leasing equipment. Ancillary to the Partnership’s principal equipment leasing business, the Partnership also sells certain equipment and may offer certain services to support its customers.

The Partnership’s lease transactions are principally accounted for under Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. Prior to Topic 842, the Partnership accounted for these transactions under Topic 840, Leases (“Topic 840”). Lease revenue includes revenue generated from leasing equipment to customers, including re-rent revenue, and is recognized as either on a straight line basis or using the effective interest method over the length of the lease contract, if such lease is either an operating lease or finance lease, respectively.

The Partnership’s sale of equipment along with certain services provided to customers is recognized under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“Topic 606”), which was adopted on January 1, 2018. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, the Partnership recognized these transactions under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognized, and (“Topic 605”). The Partnership recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Partnership expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

Through March 31, 2020, the Partnership’s lease portfolio consisted of operating leases and finance leases. For operating leases, lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Finance lease interest income is recorded over the term of the lease using the effective interest method.

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.

Gains or losses from sales of leased and off-lease equipment are recorded on a net basis in the Partnership’s Statement of Operations. Gains from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Our leases do not contain any step-rent provisions or escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any index.

Partnership’s accounting policy for sales and property taxes collected from the lessees are recorded in the current period as gross revenues and expenses.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Depreciation on technology and inventory management equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of two to five years. Once an asset comes off lease or is released, 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

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary source of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was cash provided by net proceeds from the sale of computer equipment of approximately $82,000. Our primary source of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was cash provided by operating activities of approximately $3,000.

Our primary uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were cash used in operating activities of approximately $69,000 and partnership redemptions of approximately $8,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Partnership had no primary uses of cash.

Cash was used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of approximately $69,000, which includes net loss of approximately $27,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $99,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of operating activities include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $37,000. Cash was provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $3,000, which includes net loss of approximately $71,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $141,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of operating activities include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $108,000.

When we 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.

CCC, on our behalf and on behalf of other affiliated partnerships, acquires 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.

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

At March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were held in one account 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 March 31, 2020, the total cash balance was as follows:

At March 31, 2020	Balance
Total bank balance	$10,000
FDIC insured	(10,000)
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 2020 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

The Partnership’s 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 March 31, 2020, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $163,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2020 and approximately $50,000 thereafter.

As of March 31, 2020, our non-recourse debt was approximately $123,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.14% to 6.66% and will be payable through August 2024. The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023. CCC will assume the obligation and rights to the remaining notes payable and its related secured equipment through their termination.

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, 2021 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2023.

In order to provide additional support for the Partnership, the General Partner (“GP”) has converted certain payables that were classified as current to noncurrent payables. These payables were deferred to increase the Partnership’s cash flow from the date of issuance of our audited financial statements. To provide additional support to the Partnership, CCC agreed to convert approximately $128,000 of payables from due on demand to long term. Such payables won't be due until sometime after April 15, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to three months ended March 31, 2019

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $161,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from approximately $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Partnership had 32 and 34 active operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This decrease in lease revenue is primarily due to a greater number of lease agreements ending versus new lease agreements being acquired. Management expects to add new leases to the Partnership’s portfolio throughout 2020, primarily through debt financing.

Sale of Equipment

On January 31,2020 the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Cummins, Inc. (the “Buyer”) to sell to the Buyer approximately 1,475 items of equipment that the Buyer previously leased from the Company. The General Partner allocated to the Partnership its share of approximately $180,000, for the sale price of primarily, High End Sun Servers and Small IBM Servers and recorded a gain on sale of equipment of approximately $34,000.

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 increased to approximately $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from approximately $104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in accounting fees of approximately $12,000, offset by a decrease in legal fees of approximately $7,000 and a decrease in other LP expenses of approximately $4,000.

Equipment Management Fees

We pay an equipment management fee to our general partner for managing our equipment portfolio. The equipment management fee is approximately 5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases and approximately 2% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to direct financing leases. The equipment management fee was approximately $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and approximately $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which is consistent with the lease revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses decreased to approximately $99,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from approximately $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was due to the higher frequency in the termination of leases and equipment being fully depreciated as compared to the acquisition of new leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of approximately $206,000 and expenses of approximately $233,000 resulting in net loss of approximately $27,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized revenue of approximately $190,000 and expenses of approximately $261,000 resulting in a net loss of approximately $71,000. This change in net loss is due to the changes in revenue and expenses as described above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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 March 31, 2020, 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 first quarter of 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Commitments and Contingencies

N/A

Item 2. Legal Proceedings

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 judgment 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 judgment 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.  The Medshare Bankruptcy matter is now closed. 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.

20

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 already reallocated back approximately $151,225 of the $208,000 (in allegedly misallocated expenses) to the affected funds, which was fully documented, as good faith payments 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 87 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.  All the requested or allowed briefs have been filed with the SEC.  The SEC upheld FINRA’s order on February 7, 2020 to bar, but eliminated FINRA’s proposed fine.  Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has filed a Petition for Review in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review a final order entered against her by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  As the SEC eliminated FINRA’s fine completely, Management is even more confident that regardless of final resolution, it will not result in any material adverse financial impact to the Funds, although a final assurance cannot be provided until the legal matter is resolved.  That appeal is pending as of May 15, 2020.

Item 2A. Risk Factors 

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The Fund’s operation is located in Florida, which has been restricted during April-May for gatherings of people due to the coronavirus outbreak. On May 4th, Governor DeSantis of Florida started his plan to begin opening certain retail stores and restaurants at limited capacity. At present, the Fund’s operations have not been adversely affected and continue to function effectively.

●

On May 11th, certain administrative employees will begin to return to the office on a full-time basis, based on a three-phase plan.

●

On May 4th, the General Partner applied and received a grant for Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) based on the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferments of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modification to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

●

The General Partner may be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP loan based on the sum of the costs incurred and payments made during the 8-week covered period (average number of full-time employees of the borrower per month between January 1, 2020 and February 29, 2020) on:

■

Payroll costs

■

Any interest payment on any covered mortgage obligation (not including any prepayment of or principal payment on a covered mortgage obligation),

■

Any payment on any covered rent obligation, and

■

Any covered utility payment

●

The full principal amount of the loan and accrued interest may be forgiven, borrowers must follow the Small Business Association’s (“SBA’s”) strict guidelines on the use of the loan proceeds to obtain full loan forgiveness. Notably, a borrower must use the full loan amount within the 8-week period, with 75 percent of that amount going towards payroll costs. We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business through the General Partner and indirectly, the Funds.

●

The Funds do not have any employees. The General Partner provides administrative services, such as sales and marketing, IT, legal and accounting that indirectly benefit the Fund, which pay for these services through an agreed upon partnership agreement. The PPP loan provides additional stimulus to the General Partner to maintain an on-going group of employees, without any furlough or layoffs during this COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

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”). Approximately ten years after the commencement of operations, the Partnership intends 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 December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the operational phase was officially extended to December 31, 2021 through an investor proxy vote. The Partnership is expected to terminate on December 31, 2023.

Liquidity

The General Partner elected to forgo distributions and allocations of net income owed to it, and suspended limited partner distributions. The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2020 and will continue to waive certain fees. The General Partner and CCC will also defer certain related party payables owed to the Partnership in an effort to further increase the Partnership’s cash flow (see Note 8 – Subsequent Events). 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.

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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 judgment 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 judgment 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.  The Medshare Bankruptcy matter is now closed. 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 already reallocated back approximately $151,225 of the $208,000 (in allegedly misallocated expenses) to the affected funds, which was fully documented, as good faith payments 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 87 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.  All the requested or allowed briefs have been filed with the SEC.  The SEC upheld FINRA’s order on February 7, 2020 to bar, but eliminated FINRA’s proposed fine.  Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has filed a Petition for Review in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review a final order entered against her by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  As the SEC eliminated FINRA’s fine completely, Management is even more confident that regardless of final resolution, it will not result in any material adverse financial impact to the Funds, although a final assurance cannot be provided until the legal matter is resolved.  That appeal is pending as of May 15, 2020.

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.

Gains or losses from the termination of leases are recognized when the lease is modified and terminated concurrently. Loss from lease termination included in lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $9,000 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 March 31, 2020 was approximately $2,539,000 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, 2020 was approximately $9,007,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at March 31, 2020 was approximately $64,000 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, 2020 was approximately $687,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2019 was approximately $2,539,000 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, 2019 was approximately $9,007,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2019 was approximately $88,000 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, 2019 was approximately $873,000.

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 2020, 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, 2020	$	163,000
Year ended December 31, 2021		28,000
Year ended December 31, 2022		8,000
Year ended December 31, 2023		8,000
Year ended December 31, 2024		6,000
	$	213,000

The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023. CCC will assume the rights to the remaining active leases and their related remaining revenue stream through their termination.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

Policy Text Block [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were held in one account 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 March 31, 2020, the total cash balance was as follows:

At March 31, 2020	Balance
Total bank balance	$	10,000
FDIC insured		(10,000	)
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 2020 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued (ASU 2018-11), Targeted improvements, a final ASU providing an optional transition method that allows entities to continue to apply the guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year that they adopt the new leases guidance in ASC 842. The Board also amended ASC 842 to provide a practical expedient that allows lessors to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate lease and associated non-lease components if certain criteria are met. The Partnership has adopted ASC 842 at January 1, 2019.

In December 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, which amended ASC 842 to allow lessors to make an accounting policy election not to evaluate whether sales taxes and similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the lessor from the lessee are the primary obligation of the lessor as owner of the underlying leased asset. A lessor that makes this election must exclude from the consideration in the contract and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract all taxes within the scope of the election and make additional disclosures. The amendments also require a lessor to exclude lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on the lessor’s behalf from variable payments, but lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee are required to be included in variable payments. The Partnership records the sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from the lessees in the financial statements of Condensed Statements of Operations as gross revenues and expenses.

The amendments also clarify that when lessors allocate variable payments to lease and non-lease components they are required to follow the recognition guidance in ASC 842 for the lease component and other applicable guidance, such as ASC 606, for the non-lease component. The Partnership concluded, upon adoption of this update that there was no significant change to their accounting. 

The FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which added guidance to ASC 842 that is similar to the guidance in ASC 840-10-55-44 and states that, for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the fair value of the underlying asset is their cost, less any volume or trade discounts. However, if there is a significant amount of time between the acquisition of the underlying asset and lease commencement, a lessor would have to measure the fair value using the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Upon adoption of this update, there was no significant change to the Partnership accounting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

FASB issued a new guidance, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The new guidance requires an allowance for credit losses based on the expectation of lifetime credit losses on financial receivables carried at amortized cost, including, but not limited to, mortgage loans, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables and certain leases. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for financial assets reported at amortized cost will be applicable to receivables associated with sales-type and direct financing leases but not to operating lease receivables.

The FASB developed the guidance in response to concerns that credit losses were identified and recorded “too little, too late” in the period leading up to the global financial crisis of 2008. More recently, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may bring new challenges to identifying credit losses. While the new standard is expected to have a significant effect on entities in the financial services industry, particularly banks and others with lending operations, the guidance affects all entities in all industries and applies to a wide variety of financial instruments, including trade receivables.

ASC 326-20’s CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The standard provides entities with significant flexibility in how to pool financial assets with similar risk characteristics, determine the contractual term and obtain and adjust the relevant historical loss information that serves as the starting point for developing the estimate of expected lifetime credit losses.

The Financial reporting developments (“FRD”) addresses the new guidance on the following topics:

● The current expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model (ASC 326-20) for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including net investments (i.e. for sales-type lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset; for direct finance lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset less any deferred selling profit).

● The available-for-sale (AFS) debt security impairment model (ASC 326-30)

● The initial recognition of what are called purchased financial assets with evidence of credit deterioration or purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets

● The accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets in the scope of ASC 325-40, Investments — Other — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets

On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.

In January 2020, The FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU clarifies that the observable price changes in orderly transactions that should be considered when applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 include transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under ASC 323. For example, as it relates to investments for which the measurement alternative is elected, if an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical investment or similar security of the same issuer results in a change in ownership that causes the investor to either newly apply or discontinue the equity method, the carrying amount of the security accounted for under the measurement alternative should be adjusted to its fair value immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

ASU 2020-01 also addresses questions about how to apply the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” for certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities that, upon settlement or exercise, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The ASU clarifies that, for the purpose of applying ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” An entity also should evaluate the remaining characteristics in ASC 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options.

For public business entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period, (a) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (b) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.

Subsequent Events

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The Fund’s operation is located in Florida, which has been restricted during April -May for gatherings of people due to the coronavirus outbreak. On May 4th, Governor DeSantis of Florida started his plan to begin opening certain retail stores and restaurants at limited capacity. At present, the Fund’s operations have not been adversely affected and continue to function effectively.

● On May 11th, certain administrative employees will begin to return to the office on a full-time basis, based on a three-phase plan.

● On May 4th, the General Partner applied and received a grant for “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferments of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modification to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business through the General Partner and indirectly, the Funds.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, and our precautionary measures in response thereto, may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations will depend on how COVID-19 pandemic and its impact to continue to develop, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Related Party Payables

In order to provide additional support for the Partnership, the General Partner (“GP”) has converted certain payables that were classified as current to noncurrent payables. These payables were deferred to increase the Partnership’s cash flow from the date of issuance of our audited financial statements. To provide additional support to the Partnership, CCC agreed to convert approximately $128,000 of payables from due on demand to long term. Such payables won't be due until sometime after April 15, 2021.

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.	$	8,000	$	9,000

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2019 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, 2019 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were held in one account 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 March 31, 2020, the total cash balance was as follows:

At March 31, 2020	Balance
Total bank balance	$	10,000
FDIC insured		(10,000	)
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 2020 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued (ASU 2018-11), Targeted improvements, a final ASU providing an optional transition method that allows entities to continue to apply the guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year that they adopt the new leases guidance in ASC 842. The Board also amended ASC 842 to provide a practical expedient that allows lessors to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate lease and associated non-lease components if certain criteria are met. The Partnership has adopted ASC 842 at January 1, 2019.

In December 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, which amended ASC 842 to allow lessors to make an accounting policy election not to evaluate whether sales taxes and similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the lessor from the lessee are the primary obligation of the lessor as owner of the underlying leased asset. A lessor that makes this election must exclude from the consideration in the contract and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract all taxes within the scope of the election and make additional disclosures. The amendments also require a lessor to exclude lessor costs paid directly by a lessee to third parties on the lessor’s behalf from variable payments, but lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee are required to be included in variable payments. The Partnership records the sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from the lessees in the financial statements of Condensed Statements of Operations as gross revenues and expenses.

The amendments also clarify that when lessors allocate variable payments to lease and non-lease components they are required to follow the recognition guidance in ASC 842 for the lease component and other applicable guidance, such as ASC 606, for the non-lease component. The Partnership concluded, upon adoption of this update that there was no significant change to their accounting. 

The FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which added guidance to ASC 842 that is similar to the guidance in ASC 840-10-55-44 and states that, for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the fair value of the underlying asset is their cost, less any volume or trade discounts. However, if there is a significant amount of time between the acquisition of the underlying asset and lease commencement, a lessor would have to measure the fair value using the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Upon adoption of this update, there was no significant change to the Partnership accounting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

FASB issued a new guidance, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The new guidance requires an allowance for credit losses based on the expectation of lifetime credit losses on financial receivables carried at amortized cost, including, but not limited to, mortgage loans, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables and certain leases. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for financial assets reported at amortized cost will be applicable to receivables associated with sales-type and direct financing leases but not to operating lease receivables.

The FASB developed the guidance in response to concerns that credit losses were identified and recorded “too little, too late” in the period leading up to the global financial crisis of 2008. More recently, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may bring new challenges to identifying credit losses. While the new standard is expected to have a significant effect on entities in the financial services industry, particularly banks and others with lending operations, the guidance affects all entities in all industries and applies to a wide variety of financial instruments, including trade receivables.

ASC 326-20’s CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The standard provides entities with significant flexibility in how to pool financial assets with similar risk characteristics, determine the contractual term and obtain and adjust the relevant historical loss information that serves as the starting point for developing the estimate of expected lifetime credit losses.

The Financial reporting developments (“FRD”) addresses the new guidance on the following topics:

● The current expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model (ASC 326-20) for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including net investments (i.e. for sales-type lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset; for direct finance lease, the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset less any deferred selling profit).

● The available-for-sale (AFS) debt security impairment model (ASC 326-30)

● The initial recognition of what are called purchased financial assets with evidence of credit deterioration or purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets

● The accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets in the scope of ASC 325-40, Investments — Other — Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets

On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of FASB ASC Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.

In January 2020, The FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU clarifies that the observable price changes in orderly transactions that should be considered when applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 include transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under ASC 323. For example, as it relates to investments for which the measurement alternative is elected, if an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical investment or similar security of the same issuer results in a change in ownership that causes the investor to either newly apply or discontinue the equity method, the carrying amount of the security accounted for under the measurement alternative should be adjusted to its fair value immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

ASU 2020-01 also addresses questions about how to apply the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” for certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities that, upon settlement or exercise, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The ASU clarifies that, for the purpose of applying ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825, “Financial Instruments.” An entity also should evaluate the remaining characteristics in ASC 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options.

For public business entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period, (a) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (b) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Partnership continues to evaluate the impact of the new guidance on its condensed financial statements.
