EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this amendment on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of COMMONWEALTH INCOME & GROWTH FUND VII, LP for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 is to restate our condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months then ended, as detailed below, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2022 (the "Form 10-Q"). Subsequent to the filing of Form 10-Q for the period March 31, 2022, we discovered two accounting errors:

1.) We acquired a 30% interest in fixed asset equipment, which also included the assignment of a 30% interest in the equipment leasing revenue contract as well as the assumption of 30% of a note payable secured by the equipment. We subsequently discovered that we inadvertently neglected to record the 30% interest in the equipment leasing revenue contract, as well as the assumption of 30% of the note payable secured by the equipment. 2) We have a 34.08% investment in Commonwealth Opportunity Fund 2, LLC ("COF2) and recognize 34.08% of COF2's annual net income(loss) as income (loss) in investment from COF2. Subsequent to our 2022 SEC filings, we were informed that COF2's 2022 net loss was erroneously overstated, resulting in a reduction of the loss in investment from COF2 that we originally recorded. In addition, we had to reduce the beginning Limited Partners capital account and the investment in COF2 by $44,000 to account for the impact of a previous restatement to our December 31, 2021 financial statements.

No attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to modify or update other disclosures presented in the original report on Form 10-Q, except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement. The Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q or modify or update those disclosures, including the exhibits to the Form 10-Q affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the original filing of the Form 10-Q on May 18, 2022. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-Q, including any amendments to those filings. The following items have been amended as a result of the restatement:

·

Part I - Item 1 - Financial Statements

·

Part I - Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Description of Restatement

Subsequent to the issuance of the condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, included in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 18, 2022, we discovered that we inadvertently neglected to record the 30% interest in the equipment leasing revenue contract, as well as the assumption of 30% of the note payable secured by the equipment. This error resulted in an understated of accounts receivable, Commonwealth Capital Corp and an understatement of notes payable balances as of March 31, 2022 of $91,597 and $73,650, an understatement of lease income in the amount of $18,824 and an understatement of interest expense in the amount of $878 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We also discovered that the loss in investment from COF2 was overstated, which resulted in an understatement of our investment in COF2 as of March 31, 2022 of $11,071 and an overstatement of our loss in investment from COF2 of $11,071 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, we had to reduce the beginning Limited Partners capital account and the investment in COF2 by $44,000 to account for the impact of a previous restatement to our December 31, 2021 financial statements.

See Note 2 of the condensed financial statements for further details.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VII, LP (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 14, 2008. The Partnership offered for sale up to 2,500,000 units of limited partnership interest at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the "offering"). The Partnership reached the minimum amount in escrow and commenced operations on March 31, 2010. The offering terminated on November 22, 2011 with 1,572,900 units sold for a total of approximately $31,432,000 in limited partner contributions.

The Partnership uses the proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and lease various types of computer information technology equipment and other similar capital equipment, which is leased primarily to U.S. corporations and institutions. Commonwealth Capital Corp. ("CCC"), on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquires 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 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. Unless sooner terminated or extended pursuant to the terms of its Limited Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Partnership will continue until December 31, 2026.

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Subsequent to the filing of Form 10-Q for the period March 31, 2022, two accounting errors were discovered: 1.) The Partnership acquired a 30% interest in fixed asset equipment, which also included the assignment of a 30% interest in the equipment leasing revenue contract, as well, as the assumption of 30% of a note payable secured by the equipment. The Partnership inadvertently neglected to record the 30% interest in the equipment leasing revenue contract, as well, as the assumption of 30% of the note payable secured by the equipment; 2.) The Partnership has a 34.08% investment in Commonwealth Opportunity Fund 2, LLC ("COF2") and recognizes 34.08% of.COF2's annual net income (loss) as income (loss) in investment from COF2. Subsequent to the Partnership's 2022 SEC filings, the Partnership was informed that COF2's 2022 net loss was erroneously overstated, resulting in a reduction of the loss in investment from COF2 that was originally recorded. In addition, the beginning Limited Partners capital account and the investment in COF2 were reduced by $44,000 to account for the impact of a previous restatement to the Company's December 31, 2021 financial statements.

The impact of the restatement is as follows:

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The 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, 2021 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2022.

Equity Method Investment

The Partnership accounts for its investment in Commonwealth Opportunity Fund 2 ("COF2") under the equity method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323. Under the equity method, the Partnership records its proportionate share of COF 2's net income (loss). Capital contributions to, distributions from and net income (loss) of COF2 are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of distributions and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.

Table of Contents

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. Receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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

The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with the original maturity dates of 90 days or less.

At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents was held in one bank account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $3,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At March 31, 2022, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

At March 31, 2022

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 its accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amount in its accounts will fluctuate throughout 2022 due to many factors, including cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). This standard establishes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in a timelier recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are to be based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. The scope of financial assets within the CECL methodology is broad and includes trade receivables from certain revenue transactions and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard. Instead, entities would need to apply other U.S. GAAP, namely Topic 842 (Leases), to account for changes in the collectability assessment for operating leases. Other than operating lease receivables, Partnership trade receivables include receivables from finance leases and equipment sales. Under Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services transferred to a customer. At the point that finance lease receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Trade receivables derived from equipment sales are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses.

Table of Contents

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which amends and clarifies several provisions of Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which amends Topic 326 to allow the fair value option to be elected for certain financial instruments upon adoption. ASU 2019-10 extended the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for the Partnership until December 15, 2022. While the Partnership continues to evaluate the new guidance, including the subsequent updates to Topic 326, it does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements and related disclosures. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership's finance lease revenue subject to CECL represented less than 1% of total lease revenue.

4. Information Technology, Medical Technology, Telecommunications Technology, Inventory Management and Other Business-Essential Capital Equipment ("Equipment")

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

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, 2022 was approximately $6,216,000 and is included in the Partnership's equipment on its balance sheet. The Partnership's share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at March 31, 2022 was approximately $135,000 (restated) and is included in the Partnership's notes payable on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at March 31, 2022 was approximately $14,914,000. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at March 31, 2022 was approximately $246,000.

The Partnership's share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2021 was approximately $6,229,000 and is included in the Partnership's equipment on its balance sheet. The Partnership's share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2021 was approximately $76,000 and is included in the Partnership's notes payable on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2021 was approximately $14,952,000. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2021 was approximately $305,000.

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 2022, the Partnership expects total shared equipment and related debt to trend higher as the Partnership builds its portfolio.

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

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

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Partnership determined that it did not have a need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts associated with any of its finance leases, as the customer payment histories with the Partnership, associated with these leases, has been positive.

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated companies and 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 based on certain risk factors.

5. Investment in COF 2

On August 13, 2015, the Partnership purchased 1,648 units for $1,500,000, of COF 2, an affiliate fund of the General Partner. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is permitted to invest in equipment programs formed by the General Partner or its affiliates. COF 2 is an affiliate program that broke escrow on August 13, 2015. The General Partner believes this action is in the best interests of all the programs. The Partnership accounts for its investment in COF 2 under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323. The Partnership's net investment in COF 2 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $491,000 (restated) and $503,000, respectively (see COF 2 Financial Summary below). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, COF 2 did not declare any first quarter distribution to the Partnership.

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, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership was charged approximately $44,000 and $77,000 in other LP expense, respectively.

$ 75,000 $ 156,000

Equipment Acquisition Fee

The General Partner earned an equipment acquisition fee of 4% of the purchase price of each item of equipment purchased as compensation for the negotiation of the acquisition of the equipment and lease thereof or sale under a conditional sales contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the General Partner earned acquisition fees from operating and finance leases of approximately $0 and $0, respectively.

$ - $ -

Debt Placement Fee

As compensation for arranging term debt to finance our acquisition of equipment, the Partnership will pay the General Partner a fee equal to one percent of such indebtedness; provided, however, that such fee shall be reduced to the extent the Partnership incurs such fees to third parties unaffiliated with the General Partner or the lender with respect to such indebtedness. No such fee will be paid with respect to borrowings from the General Partner or its affiliates. The amount the Partnership borrows, and therefore the amount of the fee, will depend upon interest rates at the time of a loan, and the amount of leverage the Partnership determines is appropriate at the time. Fees will increase as the amount of leverage increases, and as turnover in the portfolio increases and additional equipment is purchased using leverage.

$ - $ -

Equipment Management Fee

The Partnership pays our General Partner 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. The 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 managed. Reductions in market rates for similar services would also reduce the amount of this fee.

$ 10,000 $ 18,000

Equipment Liquidation Fee

Also referred to as a "resale fee." With respect to each item of equipment sold by the General Partner, the Partnership will pay a fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the competitive equipment sale commission or (ii) three percent of the sales price of the equipment. The payment of this fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of (i) a return of their capital contributions and a 10% per annum cumulative return, compounded daily, on adjusted capital contributions and (ii) the net disposition proceeds from such sale in accordance with the partnership agreement. The General Partner, based on its experience in the equipment leasing industry and current dealings with others in the industry, uses its business judgment to determine if a given sales commission is competitive, reasonable and customary. Such fee will be reduced to the extent any liquidation or resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties. The amount of such fees will depend upon the sale price of equipment sold. Sale prices will vary depending upon the type, age and condition of equipment sold. The shorter the terms of the leases, the more often the Partnership may sell equipment, which will increase liquidation fees.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

COVID-19 Pandemic

The amount of revenue recognized and the pattern of revenue recognition may be impacted by COVID-19. In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has spread globally, and on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, quarantines, and other public health safety measures. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. In addition, the COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. The pattern of revenue recognition may change for delays in rendering services.

In periods ended subsequent to the outbreak of COVID-19, the impact on expected credit losses and future cash flow projections used in impairment testing will need to be considered.

The Partnership continues to evaluate whether adjustments to the financial statements are required or whether additional disclosures are necessary. In our leasing business, the Partnership is always subject to credit losses as it relates to a customer's ability to make timely rental payments. The impact of COVID-19 may contribute to risk of non-performance, where a customer may experience financial difficulty and may delay in making timely payments.

The Partnership recognizes impairment of receivables and loans when losses are incurred, which is when it is probable that an entity will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the arrangement. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a receivable's or a loan's effective interest rate, except that, as a practical expedient, impairment can be measured based on a receivable's or a loan's observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

The Partnership believes its estimate of expected losses have been recognized based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The impacts of COVID-19 may necessitate additional adjustments in future forecasts of expected losses.

Although the Partnership cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Partnership results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022 and beyond.

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 at that time 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.

Table of Contents

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. Despite offering no additional evidence or legal reasoning from when SEC originally remanded this matter (for FINRA's opinion being an unreviewably flawed opinion), the SEC upheld FINRA's new order on February 7, 2020 as to the bar; however, FINRA's fine was voided. 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. On February 26, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, made their ruling. They dismissed in part and denied in part Ms. Springsteen-Abbott's petition. This was regardless of CCC's good faith reimbursements made many years ago of the questioned expense items of $208,000 (due to improper documentation), initially claimed misallocations by FINRA, even prior to FINRA's reducing its final claim to $36,226.

Prior to the original appeal to the SEC, Ms. Springsteen-Abbott discovered CCC's required documentation of these items for FINRA review, which FINRA refused to consider, despite such efforts the District Court upheld the bar, despite admittingly not addressing her "due process" rights, for legal administrative procedural reasons. However, given the SEC's prior removal of FINRA's fine and the District Court upholding that removal, the General Partner anticipates that this ruling will not result in any material financial impact to the Funds.

Actual results may differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements because any such statements involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based upon various important factors, including, but not limited to, nationwide economic, financial, political and regulatory conditions; the health of debt and equity markets, including interest rates and credit quality; the level and nature of spending in the information, medical and telecommunications technologies markets; and the effect of competitive financing alternatives and lease pricing.

Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents we file with the SEC, including, without limitation, those discussed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

We invest in various types of domestic information technology equipment leases located solely within the United States. Our investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment. We believe that dealing in high technology equipment is particularly advantageous due to a robust aftermarket. Information technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to do so. Technological advances have permitted reductions in the cost of computer processing capacity, speed, and utility. In the future, the rate and nature of equipment development may cause equipment to become obsolete more rapidly. In an effort to mitigate this risk our portfolio manager attempts to diversify our fund through the acquisition of different types of equipment, staggered lease maturities, various lessees, and businesses located throughout the U.S., and industries served.

We also acquire high technology medical, telecommunications and inventory management equipment. Our General Partner seeks to maintain an appropriate balance and diversity in the types of equipment acquired. The market for high technology medical equipment is growing each year. Generally, this type of equipment has a longer useful life. This allows for increased re-marketability, if it is returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.

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 $10.6 billion, up 14 percent year-over-year from new business volume in March 2021. Volume was up 49 percent month-to-month from $7.1 billion in February. Year-to-date, cumulative new business volume was up 5 percent compared to 2021.

Receivables over 30 days were 1.5 percent, down from 1.7 percent the previous month and down from 1.9 percent in the same period in 2021. Charge-offs were 0.10 percent, up from 0.09 percent the previous month and down from 0.43 percent in the year-earlier period.

Credit approvals totaled 78.3 percent, up from 78.2 percent in February. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was flat year-over-year.

Separately, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation's Monthly Confidence Index (MCI-EFI) in April is 56.1, a decrease from 58.2 in March.

ELFA President and CEO Ralph Petta said, "MLFI-25 participants end the first quarter of the year very favorably: new business volume continues to surge and portfolios are performing extremely well. This, while inflationary pressures, the war in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions continue unabated. With the Fed increasing short-term borrowing rates now and into the foreseeable future, business owners-both large and small-are choosing to lease and finance their critical equipment needs."

Mike Jones, President, CIT Business Capital, a division of First Citizens Bank, said, "Strong performance in the ELFA survey-for both month-over-month and year-over-year results-highlights the continued strength of the economy and the appetite of the business community for equipment financing to drive their growth. These positive results come even as ongoing supply chain issues delay some deliveries. Overall, the results are very encouraging for the balance of 2022, as end-customers show their determination to compete by investing in the latest equipment to power their businesses forward."

Table of Contents

Our business is directly impacted by factors such as economic, political, and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in government monetary and fiscal policies, and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. Given these circumstances, we believe companies overall, will continue to increasingly turn to leasing, as a financing solution. It is our belief that companies lease business-essential equipment because leasing can provide many benefits to a company. The number one benefit of leasing that we see is that there is no large outlay of cash required. Therefore, companies can preserve their working capital, lease equipment, which is an expense item, have the flexibility to upgrade the equipment when needed, and have no risk of obsolescence. Because we expect leasing to remain an attractive financing solution for American businesses during the next 12 months, we feel that our ability to increase our portfolio size and leasing revenues during that period will remain strong.

We, at Commonwealth, are currently operating business as usual (with our employees working remotely). We may see a slowdown on new equipment acquisition decisions from Corporate Lessees until the crisis is resolved and businesses can resume their normal operation. We have no way of knowing what this period of time will be. We will keep our investors informed of subsequent events. For information relating to COVID-19 and the overall effects, as expressed by Ralph Petta, President of ELFA (The Equipment Leasing & Finance Association), please refer to elfaonline.org.

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.

EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

The Partnership accounts for its investment in COF2 under the equity method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323. Under the equity method, the Partnership records its proportionate share of the Fund's net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of distributions and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.

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.

17
Table of Contents

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, 2022, 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, 2022, was net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $3,000. This compares to our primary sources of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of cash provided by net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $9,000.

Our primary use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was capital expenditures of approximately $166,000. This compares to our primary use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of limited partner redemptions of approximately $37,000.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $159,000, including a net income of approximately $21,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $103,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of net income include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $36,000. This compares to cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of approximately $213,000, including a net loss of approximately $147,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $298,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments to banks by lessees of approximately $200,000.

As we continue to increase the size of our equipment portfolio, operating expenses will increase, which reflects the administrative costs of servicing the portfolio, 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.

Capital expenditures and distributions are expected to continue to increase overall during the remainder of 2022 as management focuses on additional equipment acquisitions.

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

At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were held in one bank account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $3,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At March 31, 2022, the total cash bank balance was as follows:

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 amount in its account will fluctuate throughout 2022 due to many factors, including the pace of cash receipts, equipment acquisitions and distributions to limited partners.

As of March 31, 2022, we had future minimum rentals on operating leases of approximately $147,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2022 and approximately $172,000 thereafter.

As of March 31, 2022, we had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable finance leases of approximately $9,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2022 and approximately $23,000 through 2024.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2022, our non-recourse debt was approximately $176,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.10% through 5.00% and is payable through November 2024.

The General Partner intends to initiate a proxy vote to investors to extend the operational phase to December 31, 2024. Upon completion of its operational phase, it is anticipated that the Partnership will begin its liquidation phase. Assuming the proxy vote is passed, the General Partner intends to fully liquidate or otherwise dispose of all of its equipment, make final distribution to partners, and dissolve on or before December 31, 2026.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to three months ended March 31, 2021

Lease Revenue

Our lease revenue decreased to approximately $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $349,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Partnership had 20 and 32 active operating leases that generated lease revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to more lease agreements ending versus new lease agreements being acquired. Management expects to add new leases to our portfolio throughout the remainder of 2022, funded primarily through debt financing.

Sale of Equipment

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Partnership sold equipment with net book value of approximately $0 for a net gain of approximately $4,000. For the three months ended March 30, 2021, the Partnership sold equipment with net book value of approximately $0 for a net gain of approximately $9,000.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting and legal fees, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for administration and operation of the Partnership. These expenses decreased to approximately $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $178,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease accounting fees of approximately $59,000, a decrease in other LP expenses of approximately $36,000 and a decrease in penaly & interest expense of approximately $7,000.

Equipment Management Fee

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 2% of the gross lease revenue attributable to equipment that is subject to finance leases. The total equipment management fee decreased to approximately $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from approximately $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in 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 $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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, 2022.

Net Income/ Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $237,500, expenses of approximately $204,000 and other loss of $12,500, resulting in net income of approximately $21,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of approximately $382,000, expenses of approximately $516,000 and other loss of $13,000, resulting in net loss of approximately $147,000.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that it is required to disclose in reports that the Company files with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act rules and regulations.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

It is the responsibility of the General Partner to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a¬15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The General Partner's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the General Partner; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2022. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)". Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the board of directors.

As of March 31, 2022, management completed an effective assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Management has concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP. Management identified the following material weakness set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting. We lacked proper internal control over purchase accounting to ensure that we properly record purchases of fixed assets with assumption of notes payable, along with lack of internal controls over lease revenue. We also lacked proper internal controls over the accounting of investments under the equity method.

There were no changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Legal Proceedings

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 at that time 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. Despite offering no additional evidence or legal reasoning from when SEC originally remanded this matter (for FINRA's opinion being an unreviewably flawed opinion), the SEC upheld FINRA's new order on February 7, 2020 as to the bar; however, FINRA's fine was voided. 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. On February 26, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, made their ruling. They dismissed in part and denied in part Ms. Springsteen-Abbott's petition. This was regardless of CCC's good faith reimbursements made many years ago of the questioned expense items of $208,000 (due to improper documentation), initially claimed misallocations by FINRA, even prior to FINRA's reducing its final claim to $36,226.

Prior to the original appeal to the SEC, Ms. Springsteen-Abbott discovered CCC's required documentation of these items for FINRA review, which FINRA refused to consider, despite such efforts the District Court upheld the bar, despite admittingly not addressing her "due process" rights, for legal administrative procedural reasons. However, given the SEC's prior removal of FINRA's fine and the District Court upholding that removal, the General Partner anticipates that this ruling will not result in any material financial impact to the Funds.

Item 2A. Risk Factors

COVID-19 Pandemic

The amount of revenue recognized and the pattern of revenue recognition may be impacted by COVID-19. In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has spread globally, and on March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, quarantines, and other public health safety measures. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. In addition, the COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. The pattern of revenue recognition may change for delays in rendering services.

In periods ended subsequent to the outbreak of COVID-19, the impact on expected credit losses and future cash flow projections used in impairment testing will need to be considered.

The Partnership continues to evaluate whether adjustments to the financial statements are required or whether additional disclosures are necessary. In our leasing business, the Company is always subject to credit losses as it relates to a customer's ability to make timely rental payments. The impact of COVID-19 may contribute to risk of non-performance, where a customer may experience financial difficulty and may delay in making timely payments.

The Partnership recognizes impairment of receivables and loans when losses are incurred, which is when it is probable that an entity will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the arrangement. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivable's or loans effective interest rate, except that, as a practical expedient, impairment can be measured based on a receivable's or loans' observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

The Partnership believes its estimate of expected losses have been recognized based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The impacts of COVID-19 may necessitate additional adjustments in future forecasts of expected losses.

Although the Partnership cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Partnership results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022 and beyond.
