PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
GENERAL
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I, (“the Partnership”), a Pennsylvania limited partnership, has been fully liquidated as of December 31, 2006. Liquidation began on July 1, 2005 and final distributions were sent to limited partners on December 29, 2006. The Partnership has no remaining leases and is no longer conducting business as of December 31, 2006.
The Partnership was formed on August 26, 1993 under the Pennsylvania Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership began offering $15,000,000 of Units of Limited Partnership (“Units”) to the public on December 17, 1993 (the “Offering”). The Partnership terminated its offering of Units on May 11, 1995, with 631,358 Units sold ($12,623,682) and 749 investors admitted as Limited Partners of the Partnership.
See “The Glossary” below for the definition of capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the text of this report.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring various types of Equipment, including computer information technology (I.T.) and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership utilized the net Proceeds of the Offering to purchase IBM and IBM compatible computer I.T. equipment and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership utilized Retained Proceeds and debt financing (not exceeding 30% of the aggregate cost of the Equipment owned or subject to Conditional Sales Contract by the Partnership at the time the debt was incurred) to purchase additional Equipment. The Partnership acquired and leased equipment to U.S. corporations and other institutions pursuant to Operating Leases.
TYPES OF EQUIPMENT
Computer Information Technology Equipment. Computer information technology (I.T.) equipment consists of devices used to convey information into and out of a central processing unit (or “mainframe”) of a computer system, such as tape drives, disk drives, tape controllers, disk controllers, printers, terminals and related control units, all of which are in some way related to the process of storing, retrieving, and processing information by computer.
Computer technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to do so. Technological advances have permitted continued reductions in the cost of computer processing capacity, thereby permitting applications not economically feasible a few years ago. Much of the older IBM and IBM compatible computer I.T. equipment has not been retired from service, because software is generally interchangeable between older and newer equipment, and older equipment is capable of performing many of the same functions as newer equipment. The General Partner believes, historically, that the values of I.T equipment have been affected less dramatically by changes in technology than have the values of central processing units. An equipment user who upgrades to a more advanced central processor generally can continue to use his existing I.T. equipment. Nevertheless, I.T. equipment is subject to declines in value as new, improved models are developed and become available. Technological advances and other factors, discussed below in Management Discussion and Analysis, have at times caused dramatic reduction in the market prices of older models of IBM and IBM compatible computer I.T. equipment from the prices at which they were originally introduced.

DESCRIPTION OF LEASES
The Partnership was fully liquidated at December 31, 2006. The Partnership purchased only Equipment that was subject to a lease or for which a lease or similar agreement was entered into contemporaneously with the consummation of the Partnership’s acquisition of the Equipment. The General Partner leased most of the Equipment purchased by the Partnership to third parties pursuant to Operating Leases. Operating Leases are relatively short-term (12 to 48 month) leases under which the aggregate noncancellable rental payments during the original term of the lease are not sufficient to permit the lessor to recover the purchase price of the subject Equipment. The Equipment also was leased pursuant to Capital Leases. Capital Leases are leases under which the Equipment either transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, contains a bargain purchase price option, the lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the Equipment, or the present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments is equal to or exceeds 90% of the excess of the fair value of the Equipment.
In general, the terms of the Partnership’s leases were based upon a variety of factors, including: the desirability of each type of lease from both an investment and a tax point of view; the relative demand among lessees for Operating, Capital Lease or Full Payout Net Leases; the type and use of Equipment and its anticipated residual value; the business of the lessee and its credit rating; the availability and cost of financing; regulatory considerations; the accounting treatment of the lease sought by the lessee or the Partnership; and competitive factors.
The Partnership’s policy was to enter into “triple net leases” (or the equivalent, in the case of a Conditional Sales Contract) which typically provided that the lessee or some other party bear the risk of physical loss of the Equipment; pay taxes relating to the lease or use of the Equipment; maintain the Equipment; indemnify the Partnership-lessor against any liability suffered by the Partnership as the result of any act or omission of the lessee or its agents; maintain casualty insurance in an amount equal to the greater of the full value of the Equipment and a specified amount set forth in the lease; and maintain liability insurance naming the Partnership as an additional insured with a minimum coverage which the General Partner deems appropriate. As of December 31, 2006, all leases that had been entered into were “triple net leases”.
Remarketing fees have been paid to the leasing companies from which the Partnership purchased leases. These are fees that were earned by the leasing companies when the initial terms of the lease had been met.
LIQUIDATION POLICIES
The Partnership entered liquidation and began disposing of its Equipment in July 2005. The Partnership sold all of its assets by December 29, 2006. Leases in place in July 2005 were allowed to run through maturity and expire. At December 31, 2006, nine leases were transferred to Commonwealth Capital Corporation (CCC). These nine leases had a net book value of zero at December 31, 2006. The Partnership was fully liquidated at December 31, 2006.
MANAGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT
Equipment management services for the Partnership’s Equipment had been provided by the General Partner and its Affiliates and by persons employed by the General Partner. Such services consisted of collection of income from the Equipment, negotiation and review of leases, Conditional Sales Contracts and sales agreements, releasing and leasing-related services, payment of operating expenses, periodic physical inspections and market surveys, servicing indebtedness secured by Equipment, general supervision of lessees to assure that they were properly utilizing and operating Equipment, providing related services with respect to Equipment, supervising, monitoring and reviewing services performed by others in respect to Equipment and preparing monthly Equipment operating statements and related reports.

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS
Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership was not permitted, among other things, to:
  (a)   invest in junior trust deeds unless received in connection with the sale of an item of Equipment in an aggregate amount which did not exceed 30% of the assets of the Partnership on the date of the investment;
 
  (b)   invest in or underwrite the securities of other issuers;
 
  (c)   acquire any Equipment for Units;
 
  (d)   issue senior securities (except that the issuance to lenders of notes or other evidences of indebtedness in connection with the financing or refinancing of Equipment or the Partnership’s business was not deemed to be the issuance of senior securities);
 
  (e)   make loans to any Person, including the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent a Conditional Sales Contract constitutes a loan;
 
  (f)   sell or lease any Equipment to, lease any Equipment from, or enter into any sale-leaseback transactions with, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates; or
 
  (g)   give the General Partner or any of its Affiliates an exclusive right or employment to sell the Partnership’s Equipment.
The General Partner also used its best efforts to assure that the Partnership had not at any time been deemed an “investment company” as such term is detained in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership had no employees in 2006 and received administrative and other services from a related party, Commonwealth Capital Corp. (CCC), which has 68 employees as of December 31, 2006. Because the Partnership was in liquidation, services were provided by CCC without charge during the year 2006.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership had been fully liquidated. Therefore, there are no longer any risks relevant to the purchase, sale or continued investment in the partnership units.

PART II
ITEM 5:   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
There is no public market for the Units. As of the final distribution date of December 29, 2006, there were 773 holders of Units. The Units were not listed on any exchange or permitted to trade on any over-the-counter market. In addition, there were substantial restrictions on the transferability of Units.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS
Due to the liquidation of the partnership, no units remain outstanding and therefore no further transfers of units will be made.
ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE LIMITED PARTNERS
Cash distributions were made quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, of each year. Distributions were made 99% to the Limited Partners and one percent to the General Partner. Because the Limited Partners did not receive an amount equal to their Capital Contributions plus the Priority Return, cash distributions did not increase to 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner as provided in the Partnership Agreement. Distributions made in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership or a Partner’s Units were made in accordance with the Partner’s positive Capital Account balance as determined under the Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulations.
The Priority Return was calculated on the Limited Partners’ Adjusted Capital Contributions for their Units. The Adjusted Capital Contributions were initially equal to the amount paid by the Limited Partners for their Units. If distributions at any time exceeded the Priority Return, the excess reduced the Adjusted Capital Contributions, decreasing the base on which the Priority Return was calculated.
Generally, the General Partner was allocated Net Profits equal to its cash distributions (but not less than one percent of Net Profits) and the balance was allocated to the Limited Partners. Net Profits arising from transactions in connection with the termination or liquidation of the Partnership were allocated in the following order: (1) First, to each Partner in an amount equal to the negative amount, if any, of his Capital Account; (2) Second, an amount equal to the excess of the proceeds which would be distributed to the Partners based on the Operating Distributions to the Partners over the aggregate Capital Accounts of all the Partners, to the Partners in proportion to their respective shares of such excess, and (3) Third, with respect to any remaining Net Profits, to the Partners in the same proportions as if the distributions were Operating Distributions. Net Losses were in all cases allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and one percent to the General Partner.
Net Profits and Net Losses were computed without taking into account, in each taxable year of the Partnership, any items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be specially allocated pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder. No Limited Partner was required to contribute cash to the capital of the Partnership in order to restore a closing Capital Account deficit, and the General Partner had only a limited deficit restoration obligation under the Partnership Agreement.
Distributions in the amount of $49,000 were made to the Limited Partners in 2006. Distributions in the amount of $31,000 were made to the Limited Partners in 2005. There were no distributions paid to the Limited Partners during 2004.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS AMONG THE LIMITED PARTNERS

6


Table of Contents

Cash Available for Distribution, which is allocable to the Limited Partners, was apportioned among and distributed to them solely with reference to the number of Units owned by each as of the Record Date for each such distribution. During the Offering Period, Cash Available for Distribution which is allocable to the Limited Partners was apportioned among and distributed to them with reference to both (i) the number of Units owned by each as of each Record Date and (ii) the number of days since the previous Record Date (or, in the case of the first Record Date, the commencement of the Offering Period) that the Limited Partner owned the Units.
After the Offering Period, Net Profits, Net Losses and Cash Available for Distribution allocable to the Limited Partners was apportioned among them in accordance with the number of Units owned by each. A different convention was utilized during the Offering Period, whereby Net Profits and Net Losses allocable to Limited Partners were apportioned among them in the ratio which the product of the number of Units owned by a Limited Partner multiplied by the number of days in which the Limited Partner owned such Units during the period bears to the sum of such products for all Limited Partners.
In addition, where a Limited Partner transfers Units during a taxable year, the Limited Partner was allocated Net Profits for a period for which such Limited Partner did not receive a corresponding cash distribution.
ITEM 6: SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table sets forth, in summary form, selected financial data for the Partnership as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period ended June 30, 2005 and as of and for each of the three years ending December 31, 2004. This table is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements presented elsewhere in this report, and should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and related notes thereto included herein. As described in Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements, the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective July 1, 2005. Information presented at December 31, 2006 follows this basis of accounting. The information for the period ended June 30, 2005 and for each of the three prior years follows the going-concern basis of accounting.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On January 5, 2007, Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, issued a Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing that the Partnership had been fully liquidated as of December 31, 2006. Liquidation began on July 1, 2005 and final distributions were sent to limited partners on December 29, 2006. The Partnership is no longer conducting business as of December 31, 2006.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Partnership’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations were based upon its financial statements which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements required the Partnership to make estimates and judgments that affected the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Partnership based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that were believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which formed the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that were not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results have differed from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Partnership believed that its critical accounting policies affected its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Table of Contents

NET ASSETS IN LIQUIDATION
As a result of the General Partner’s approval of the plan of liquidation as of July 1, 2005, we changed our basis of accounting to the liquidation basis effective on such date. This basis of accounting is considered appropriate when, among other things, liquidation of a company is probable and the net realizable value of assets is reasonably determinable. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets have been stated at their estimated net realizable cash value and liabilities were at their anticipated settlement amounts. There were substantial risks and uncertainties associated with carrying out the liquidation of the Partnership. The valuations presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable values of assets and the costs associated with carrying out the liquidation. The actual costs and values have differed from the amounts shown herein.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Through December 31, 2006, the Partnership’s leasing operations consisted substantially of operating leases and one direct financing lease. Operating lease revenue was recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Unearned revenue from direct financing agreements was amortized to revenue over the lease term.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Partnership evaluated its long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Partnership determined whether impairment existed by estimating the undiscounted cash flows generated by each asset. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying value of the asset then impairment existed. The amount of the impairment was determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. Fair value was determined based on estimated discounted cash flows generated by the asset.
Depreciation on computer equipment for financial statement purposes was based on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of four years.
REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Reimbursable expenses, which were charged to the Partnership by CCC in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership, have been allocated to the Partnership based upon several factors including, but not limited to, the number of investors, compliance issues, and the number of existing leases.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership was fully liquidated at December 31, 2006.
The Partnership’s primary sources of capital for the period ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 was cash from operations of $10,000 and $28,000, respectively, and proceeds from the sale of computer equipment of $24,000 and $17,000, respectively. There were no distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2005 or the year ended December 31, 2004 mainly due to the litigation with Gentronics, declining lease revenues and declining cash from operations.
The Partnership’s investment strategy of acquiring computer equipment and generally leasing it under triple-net leases to operators, who generally meet specified financial standards, minimizes the Partnership’s operating expenses. As of December 31, 2005, future minimum rentals on noncancellable operating and capital leases decreased to $16,000, down from $30,000 in 2004, due to the fact that more lease agreements have expired than new computer equipment leases acquired in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on noncancellable operating leases of $10,000 for the year ended 2006. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on noncancellable capital leases of $6,000 for the year ended 2006. No debt was incurred in 2005, 2004 and 2003. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding debt was $6,000, with an interest rate of 6.5% and will be payable through June 2006.

Table of Contents

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquired computer equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocated a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships based on certain risk factors. The Partnership’s share of the computer equipment in which they participate at December 31, 2005 and 2004 is approximately $326,000 and $399,000, respectively, which is included in the Partnership’s fixed assets on their balance sheet, and the total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $1,432,000 and $1,743,000, respectively. There was no outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the period ended June 30, 2005, the Partnership recognized income of $65,000 and expenses of $212,000, resulting in a net loss of $147,000. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership recognized income of $334,000, and expenses of $471,000, resulting in a net loss of $136,000 in 2004, respectively.
Lease income decreased by 82% to approximately $47,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, down from $259,000 in 2004, primarily due to the fact that more lease agreements terminated than new lease agreements were entered into as the Partnership was in liquidation.
The Partnership sold computer equipment with a net book value of approximately $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, for a net gain of approximately $12,000. The Partnership sold computer equipment with a net book value of $30,000, during the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, for a net loss of $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, consist of accounting, legal, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership. The operating expenses for the period ended June 30, 2005 totaled approximately $57,000. At December 31, 2004, the operating expenses totaled approximately $41,000. The increase in operating expenses from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to an increase in accounting fees of $10,000.
The equipment management fee is equal to approximately 5% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment, which is subject to operating and capital leases. No equipment management fees were charged to the Partnership for 2005 due to the liquidation. The equipment management fee was $2,000 in 2004, which is consistent with the decrease in lease income.
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on computer equipment, equipment acquisition fees and debt placement fees. Depreciation and amortization during the period ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $79,000, down from $235,000 in 2004, due to the older equipment becoming fully depreciated and certain acquisition and finance fees being fully amortized and only a minimal amount of new additions.
The Partnership has charged bad debt expense of $75,000 and $174,000 as additional allowances against accounts receivable for the period ended June 30, 2005 and the year ending December 31, 2004, respectively.
The Partnership identified specific computer equipment and associated equipment acquisition costs, which were reevaluated due to technological changes. The Partnership determined that no impairment existed in 2005. In 2004, the Partnership determined that the carrying amount of certain assets was greater than the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. The Partnership recorded charges of $11,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004 to record the assets at their estimated fair value. Such amounts have been included in depreciation expense in the accompanying financial statements.

NET LOSS
Net loss for the period January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005, increased to $147,000, up from a net loss of $136,000 in 2004. The changes in net loss were attributable to the changes in revenues and expenses as discussed above.

SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatement on each of a registrant’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SEC staff believes that both a balance sheet and an income statement approach should be employed by the registrant to quantify errors and evaluate if either approach results in quantifying a material misstatement. The effective date for SAB 108 is the first annual period ending after November 15, 2006. This bulletin was implemented by the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2006 and did not have an impact on the financial statements.

The directors and officers of the General Partner are required to spend only such time on the Partnership’s affairs as is necessary in the sole discretion of the directors of the General Partner for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business. A substantial amount of time of such directors and officers is expected to be spent on matters unrelated to the Partnership, particularly after the Partnership’s investments have been selected. Under certain circumstances, such directors and officers are entitled to indemnification from the Partnership.
The Partnership has no audit committee financial expert, as defined in item 401 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR § 229.401) under the Exchange Act, serving on its audit committee. An audit committee is not required because the Partnership is not a listed security (as defined by 17 CFR § 240.10A-3); therefore, no audit committee financial expert is required.
CODE OF ETHICS
In view of the fiduciary obligation that the General Partner has to the Partnership, the General Partner believes an adoption of a formal code of ethics is unnecessary and would not benefit the Partnership, particularly, in light of Partnership’s limited business activities.
ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Partnership does not have any Directors or executive officers.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
NONE
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The following table summarizes the types, amounts and recipients of compensation paid by the Partnership directly or indirectly to the General Partner and its Affiliates. Some of these fees may have been paid regardless of the success or profitability of the Partnership’s operations and investments. While such compensation and fees were established by the General Partner and are not based on arm’s-length negotiations, the General Partner believes that such compensation and fees are comparable to those that would be charged by an unaffiliated entity or entities for similar services. The Partnership Agreement limits the liability of the General Partner and its Affiliates to the Partnership and the Limited Partners and provides indemnification to the General Partner and its Affiliates under certain circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Partners
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania
          We have audited the statements of net assets in liquidation of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I (“Partnership”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets in liquidation for the year ending December 31, 2006 and for the period from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005. In addition, we have audited the statements of operations, Partners’ capital and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
           We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
           As more fully described in Note 2, the Partnership has been fully liquidated. The Partnership changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent to June 30, 2005 from the going-concern basis to the liquidation basis.
          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets in liquidation of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the changes in its net assets in liquidation for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on the basis described in the preceding paragraph. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I
Notes to Financial Statements
     
1. Business
  Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund I (the “Partnership”) was a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to acquire, own and lease various types of computer peripheral 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 computer equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships 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 Commonwealth Capital Corp.
 
   
 
  Allocations of income and distributions of cash are based on the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”). The various allocations under the Agreement prevent any limited partner’s capital account from being reduced below zero and ensure the capital accounts reflect the anticipated sharing ratios of cash distributions, as defined in the Agreement. During 2006 and 2005, the Partnership made distributions to the limited partners in the amount of $49,000 and $31,000, respectively. During 2004 the Partnership did not make any distributions to the limited partners.
 
   
2. Liquidation
  The Board of CCC resolved on November 30, 2006 to fully liquidate the fund by December 31, 2006. The Partnership began disposing of its Equipment in July 2005. Leases in place in July 2005 were allowed to run through maturity and expire. At December 31, 2006, nine leases were transferred to CCC. These nine leases had no book value at the time of transfer. The Partnership was no longer conducting business as of December 31, 2006, and a final distribution in the amount of $15,000 was made on December 29, 2006.

3. Summary of
    Significant Accounting
    Policies
  Revenue Recognition

Through December 31, 2006, the Partnership’s leasing operations consisted substantially of operating leases and one direct financing lease. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Unearned revenue from direct financing agreements is amortized to revenue over the lease term.
 
   
 
  The Partnership reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit and establishes a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
 
   
 
  Use of Estimates
 
   
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
   
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
   
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain instruments. The carrying values of cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. For debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because the interest rates approximate current market rates.
 
   
 
  Long-Lived Assets
 
   
 
  The Partnership evaluates its long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Partnership determines whether 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

F-10


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements
     
 
  between the carrying value and the fair value. Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. The Partnership determined that no impairment existed in 2006 and 2005. In 2004, the Partnership determined that the carrying amount of certain assets was greater than the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. The Partnership recorded charges of $12,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004, to record the assets at their estimated fair value. This amount was included in depreciation expense in the accompanying financial statements.
 
   
 
  Depreciation on computer equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of four years.
 
   
 
  Intangible Assets
 
   
 
  Equipment acquisition costs and deferred expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over two- to-four year lives. Unamortized acquisition fees and deferred expenses are charged to amortization expense when the associated leased equipment is sold.
 
   
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
   
 
  The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents have been invested in a money market fund investing directly in Treasury obligations. Cash at December 31, 2005 was held in the custody of one financial institution. The balance, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership mitigates this risk by depositing funds with a major financial institution. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
 
   
 
  Accounts Receivable
 
   
 
  Accounts receivable includes current accounts receivable, net of allowances and other accruals. The Partnership regularly reviews the collectability of its receivables and the credit worthiness of its customers and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly.

  Income Taxes
 
   
 
  The Partnership is not subject to federal income taxes; instead, any taxable income (loss) is passed through to the partners and included on their respective income tax returns.
 
   
 
  Taxable income differs from financial statement net income as a result of reporting certain income and expense items for tax purposes in periods other than those used for financial statement purposes, principally relating to depreciation, amortization, and lease income.
 
   
 
  Net Assets in Liquidation per Equivalent Limited Partnership Unit
 
   
 
  In connection with the conversion from the going-concern basis of accounting to the liquidation basis, the net assets in liquidation per equivalent limited partnership unit is computed based upon net assets in liquidation allocated to the limited partners and the weighted average number of equivalent limited partner units outstanding during the period.
 
   
 
  Net Income (Loss) Per Equivalent Limited Partnership Unit
 
   
 
  The net income (loss) per equivalent limited partnership unit is computed based upon net income (loss) allocated to the limited partners and the weighted average number of equivalent limited partner units outstanding during the year.
 
   
 
  Reimbursable Expenses
 
   
 
  Reimbursable expenses, which are charged to the Partnership by CCC in connection with the administration and operation of the Partnership, are allocated to the Partnership based upon several factors including, but not limited to, the number of investors, compliance issues, and the number of existing leases.

  Forgiveness of Related Party Payables
 
   
 
  In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 26, Early Extinguishment of Debt, the Partnership accounts for forgiveness of related party payables as partner’s capital transactions.
 
   
 
  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
   
 
  In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatement on each of a registrant’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SEC staff believes that both a balance sheet and an income statement approach should be employed by the registrant to quantify errors and evaluate if either approach results in quantifying a material misstatement. The effective date for SAB 108 is the first annual period ending after November 15, 2006. This bulletin was implemented by the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2006 and did not have an impact on the financial statements.
