PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

GENERAL

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI (“CIGF6” or the “Partnership” or the “Fund”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 6, 2006. The Partnership offered for sale up to 2,500,000 units of the limited partnership at the purchase price of $20 per unit (the “offering”). The Partnership reached the minimum amount in escrow and commenced operations on May 10, 2007. The offering terminated on March 6, 2009 with 1,810,311 units sold for a total of approximately $36,000,000 in limited partner contributions.

The Partnership’s General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC. CCC is a member of the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) and the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (“ELFA”). The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the term of the fund was officially extended by Limited Partner proxy vote to a termination date of December 31, 2023.

In order to make a redemption request, Limited Partners will be required to advise the General Partner in writing of such request. Upon receipt of such notification, the Partnership will provide detailed forms and instructions to complete the request. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, limited partners redeemed 0 and 9,147 units, respectively, of the partnership for a total redemption price of approximately $0 and $0, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.

See “The Glossary” below for the definition of selected terms not otherwise defined in the text of this report.

Table of Contents

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring various types of equipment, including computer information technology and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership utilized the net proceeds of the offering to purchase information technology and other similar capital equipment. The Partnership has utilized retained proceeds and debt financing (not in excess of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned or subject to conditional sales contract by the Partnership at the time the debt is incurred) to purchase additional equipment. The Partnership acquires and leases equipment principally to U.S. corporations and other institutions pursuant to operating leases. The Partnership retains the flexibility to enter into full payout net leases and conditional sales contracts, but has not done so.

The Partnership’s principal investment objectives are to:

(a)	acquire, lease and sell equipment to generate revenues from operations sufficient to provide annual cash distributions to Limited Partners;

(b)	preserve and protect Limited Partners’ capital;

(c)	use a portion of cash flow and net disposition proceeds derived from the sale, refinancing or other disposition of equipment to purchase additional equipment; and

(d)	refinance, sell or otherwise dispose of equipment in a manner that will maximize the proceeds to the Partnership.

THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ATTAINED

Limited Partners do not have the right to vote on or otherwise approve or disapprove of any particular investment to be made by the Partnership.

Although the Partnership generally acquires new equipment, the Partnership may purchase used equipment. Generally, equipment is acquired from manufacturers, distributors, leasing companies, agents, owner-users, owner-lessors, and other suppliers upon terms that vary depending upon the equipment and supplier involved. Manufacturers and distributors usually furnish a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship and some purchase agreements for equipment provide for service and replacement of parts during a limited period. Equipment purchases are also made through lease brokers and on an ad hoc basis to meet the needs of a particular lessee.

As of December 31, 2022, all equipment purchased by the Partnership is subject to an operating lease or a finance lease. The Partnership may also engage in sale/leaseback transactions, pursuant to which the Partnership would purchase equipment from companies that would then immediately lease the equipment from the Partnership. The Partnership may also purchase equipment which is leased under full payout net leases or sold under conditional sales contracts at the time of acquisition or the Partnership may enter into a full payout net lease or conditional sales contract with a third party when the Partnership acquires an item of equipment.

The Partnership may enter into arrangements with one or more manufacturers pursuant to which the Partnership purchases equipment that has previously been leased directly by the manufacturer to third parties (“vendor leasing agreements”). The Partnership and manufacturers may agree to obtain non-recourse loans from the manufacturers, to finance the acquisition of equipment. Such loans would be secured only by the specific equipment financed and the receivables due to the manufacturers from users of such equipment. It is expected that the manufacturers of equipment will provide maintenance, remarketing and other services for the equipment subject to such agreements. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership has no such agreements.

The General Partner has the discretion, consistent with its fiduciary duty, to change the investment objectives of the Partnership if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Limited Partners and so long as such a change is consistent with the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner will notify the Limited Partners if it makes such a determination to change the Partnership’s investment objectives.

TYPES OF EQUIPMENT

The Partnership invests in various types of equipment subject to leases. Our investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment including, but not limited to: servers, desktops, laptops, workstations, printers, copiers, and storage devices. Our General Partner believes 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.

We also may acquire high technology medical, telecommunications and inventory management equipment. Our General Partner will seek to maintain an appropriate balance and diversity in the types of equipment acquired. The medical equipment we acquire may consist of IV pumps, long acute care beds, CT scanners, MRIs, flow cytometers, and other medical technology devices. The telecom equipment we acquire may include Cisco switches, routers, blade switches, wireless access points, and video conferencing systems. The inventory management equipment we acquire may consist of inventory control systems, lift trucks and tractors. The market for high technology medical equipment is growing each year. Generally this type of equipment will have a longer useful life than information technology equipment. This allows for increased re-marketability, if it is returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.

Other Equipment-Restrictions. The Partnership generally acquires information technology, telecommunications, medical technology and inventory management equipment. The General Partner is also authorized to cause the Partnership to invest in other types of business-essential capital equipment. The Partnership may not invest in any of such other types of equipment (i) to the extent that the purchase price of such equipment, together with the aggregate purchase price of all such other types of equipment then owned by the Partnership, is in excess of 25% of the total cost of all of the assets of the Partnership at the time of the Partnership’s commitment to invest therein and (ii) unless the General Partner determines that such purchase is in the best economic interest of the Partnership at the time of the purchase. There can be no assurance that any equipment investments can be found which meet this standard. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that investments of this type will be made by the Partnership.

DIVERSIFICATION

Diversification is generally desirable to minimize the effects of changes in specific industries, local economic conditions or similar risks. However, the extent of the Partnership’s diversification, in the aggregate and within each category of equipment, depends in part upon the financing which can be assumed by the Partnership or borrowed from third parties on satisfactory terms. The Partnership’s policy not to borrow on a recourse basis will further limit its financing options. Diversification also depends on the availability of various types of equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership has acquired a diversified equipment portfolio, which it has leased to different companies located throughout the United States.

Table of Contents

The equipment types comprising the portfolio at December 31, 2022 are as follows:

Equipment Type		Approximate %
Datacom		19%
Desktops - Tier 1/Laptops		6%
Digital Storage		27%
Fitness Equipment		1%
Forklifts		3%
High End Servers		17%
Inventory Control Systems		7%
Material Handling		2%
Multifunction Centers		10%
Servers/Other		7%
Total		100%

During the operational stage of the Partnership, the Partnership may not at any one point in time lease (or sell pursuant to a conditional sales contract) more than 25% of the equipment to a single person or affiliated group of persons.

DESCRIPTION OF LEASES

Leases are classified as either sales-type, direct finance or operating at the inception of the lease, with classification affecting pattern of revenue recognition in the statements of operations. The Partnership’s direct finance and sales-type leases are accounted for as net investment in finance leases; no significant changes have been made for the accounting of such leases upon the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”) on January 1, 2019.

The Partnership 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.

The Partnership generally purchases only equipment that is subject to a lease or for which a lease or similar agreement will be entered into contemporaneously with the consummation of the Partnership’s acquisition of the equipment. The General Partner leases most of the equipment purchased by the Partnership to third parties pursuant to operating or finance leases. Types of leases which the General Partner may enter into are operating leases, finance leases and conditional sales contracts:

	·	Operating leases are relatively short-term (12 to 48 month) leases under which the aggregate non-cancellable 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.

	·	In a finance lease, the lessor generally recovers substantially all of the present value of the equipment during the lease term.

Table of Contents

In general, the terms of the Partnership’s leases, whether the equipment is leased pursuant to an operating lease or a finance lease, depend 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 or full payout 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.

An operating lease generally represents a greater risk to the Partnership than a finance lease, because in order to recover the purchase price of the subject equipment and earn a return on such investment, it is necessary to renew or extend the operating lease, lease the equipment to a third party at the end of the original lease term, or sell the equipment. On the other hand, the term of an operating lease is generally much shorter than the term of a finance lease, and the lessor is thus afforded an opportunity under an operating lease to re-lease or sell the subject equipment at an earlier stage of the equipment’s life cycle than under a finance lease. Also, the annual rental payments received under an operating lease are ordinarily higher than those received under a finance lease.

The Partnership’s policy is to generally enter into “triple net leases” which typically provide 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. In addition, the Partnership may purchase “umbrella” insurance policies to cover excess liability and casualty losses, to the extent deemed practicable and advisable by the General Partner. As of December 31, 2022, all leases that have been entered into are “triple net leases.”

The terms and conditions of the Partnership’s leases are each determined by negotiation and may impose substantial

obligations upon the Partnership. Where the Partnership assumes maintenance or service obligations, the General Partner generally causes the Partnership to enter into separate maintenance or service agreements with manufacturers or certified maintenance organizations to provide such services. Such agreements generally require annual or more frequent adjustment of service fees. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership has not entered into any such agreements.

Investment Criteria

When evaluating potential lease transactions in which we will invest, the general partner and CCC’s management team performs a detailed credit and risk analysis of both the lessee and the lease transaction itself. The risk of doing business with the potential lessee and the economics of each particular transaction must both be acceptable to our portfolio management team and to the CEO of the General Partner, who specifically approves each and every lease transaction. Some of the criteria we evaluate are described below:

Evaluation of Lessees

The management team will perform a credit analysis (including a review of the financial statements, credit history and public debt record) of all potential lessees to determine the lessee’s ability to make payments under the lease. We focus our investments in investment grade to middle market credits meeting our minimum acceptable fundamental analysis criteria. These criteria involve an overall fundamental assessment of the lessee, and application of our own proprietary “rating” model that is tailored to specific economic criteria that are important to us. In addition to preparing a detailed credit-write up at the time of initiation of a transaction, we also re-evaluate a lessee’s credit risk on a monthly basis, and may review interim and annual lessee financial statements.

Generally, we seek lessees that have annual revenue of at least $10 million, have positive cash flow, and are not start-up entities, i.e., have been in business for at least five years. We will also apply a proprietary debt rating analysis when a Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s rating is not available. This allows us to create an equivalent, internal rating system without reliance solely on third-party models and analysis.

Table of Contents

Evaluation of Transactions

As described above under “Description of Leases,” we prefer our lease investments to have a term of 12 to 36 months, and will not invest in a lease greater than 48 months. We engage in “Fair Market Value” lease transactions, which permit the lessee to purchase the equipment at the end of term for no less than the then fair market value of the equipment. We seek to limit or avoid leases that allow for early buyouts or terminations, as these arrangements reduce the predictability of our returns.

Our focus is on Tier 1 (Tier 1 is defined as a large and well-known vendor, often enjoying national or international recognition and acceptance. Tier 1 vendors may be both manufacturers and value-added resellers) information technology, telecommunications, and medical technology equipment, leased in transactions generally ranging in size from $50,000 to $1,000,000. We will consider larger transactions, but for diversification purposes will require such transactions to be divided among multiple lease schedules, and the general partner may even assign a portion of such larger transactions to other affiliated funds to further spread the risk involved in larger transactions. Also, where the equipment type and economic analytics are advantageous, we may engage in lease transactions involving other types of equipment, so long as we feel it is business-essential equipment for the lessee. Also, we conduct a detailed analysis, using a third-party consultant, to assess the residual value of the proposed equipment at the end of the original lease term. This includes an analysis of the equipment’s useful life and depreciation schedule, as well as the expected resale market of that equipment type and availability of remarketing channels.

Finally, in assessing whether a proposed lease transaction will fit into our portfolio criteria, management will consider the amount of exposure we and our affiliated funds have to (i) the proposed asset type, (ii) the particular lessee, (iii) the lessee’s industry, and (iv) the geographic location of the equipment to be leased.

BORROWING POLICIES

The General Partner, at its discretion, may cause the Partnership to incur debt in the maximum aggregate amount of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned by the Partnership, or subject to conditional sales contracts. The Partnership will incur only non-recourse debt that is secured by equipment and lease income therefrom. Such leveraging permits the Partnership to increase the aggregate amount of its depreciable assets, and, as a result, potentially increases both its lease revenues and its federal income tax deductions above the levels that would be achieved without leveraging. There is no limit on the amount of debt that may be incurred in connection with the acquisition of any single item of equipment. Any debt incurred is fully amortized over the term of the initial lease or conditional sales contract to which the equipment securing the debt is subject. The precise amount borrowed by the Partnership depends on a number of factors, including the types of equipment acquired by the Partnership; the creditworthiness of the lessee; the availability of suitable financing; and prevailing interest rates. There can be no assurance that credit will be available to the Partnership in the amount or at the time desired or on terms considered reasonable by the General Partner. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership’s aggregate nonrecourse outstanding debt of approximately $62,500 was approximately 1.9% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned, with a carrying value of approximately $128,000 and are nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership.

The Partnership may purchase some items of equipment without leverage. If the Partnership purchases an item of equipment without leverage and thereafter suitable financing becomes available, it may then obtain the financing, secure the financing with the purchased equipment and invest any proceeds from such financing in additional items of equipment. Any such financing will be on terms consistent with the terms applicable to borrowings generally. During 2022, the Partnership did not enter into any such agreements.

The General Partner may cause the Partnership to borrow funds, to the fullest extent practicable, at interest rates fixed at the time of borrowing. However, the Partnership may borrow funds at rates that vary with the “prime” or “base” rate. If lease revenues were fixed, a rise in the “prime” or “base” rate would increase borrowing costs and reduce the amount of the Partnership’s income and cash available for distribution. Therefore, the General Partner is permitted to borrow funds to purchase equipment at fluctuating rates only if the lease for such equipment provides for fluctuating rental payments calculated on a similar basis.

Any additional debt incurred by the Partnership must be nonrecourse. Nonrecourse debt means that the lender providing the funds can look for security only to the equipment pledged as security and the proceeds derived from leasing or selling such equipment. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner (including the General Partner) would be liable for repayment of any nonrecourse debt.

Table of Contents

Loan agreements may also require that the Partnership maintain certain reserves or compensating balances and may impose other obligations upon the Partnership. Moreover, since a significant portion of the Partnership’s revenues from the leasing of equipment will be reserved for repayment of debt, the use of financing reduces the cash, which might otherwise be available for distributions until the debt has been repaid and may reduce the Partnership’s cash flow over a substantial portion of the Partnership’s operating life. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership had not entered into any such agreements.

The General Partner and any of its affiliates may, but are not required to, make loans to the Partnership on a short-term basis. If the General Partner or any of its affiliates makes such a short-term loan to the Partnership, the General Partner or affiliate may not charge interest at a rate greater than the interest rate charged by unrelated lenders on comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality. In no event is the Partnership required to pay interest on any such loan at an annual rate greater than three percent over the “prime rate” from time to time announced by PNC Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All payments of principal and interest on any financing provided by the General Partner or any of its affiliates are due and payable by the Partnership within 12 months after the date of the loan.

REFINANCING POLICIES

Subject to the limitations set forth in “Borrowing Policies” above, the Partnership may refinance its debt from time to time. With respect to a particular item of equipment, the General Partner will take into consideration such factors as the amount of appreciation in value, if any, to be realized, the possible risks of continued ownership, and the anticipated advantages to be obtained for the Partnership, as compared to selling such equipment. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership has not entered into any debt refinancing transactions. Refinancing, if achievable, may permit the Partnership to retain an item of equipment and at the same time to generate additional funds for reinvestment in additional equipment or for distribution to the Limited Partners.

LIQUIDATION POLICIES

The General Partner intends to cause the Partnership to begin the liquidation phase approximately 10 years after commencement of operations. Notwithstanding the Partnership’s objective to sell all of its assets and dissolve by December 31, 2018, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to dispose of all its equipment and dissolve the Partnership sooner, if warranted by economic conditions. The Partnership was originally scheduled to end its operational phase on December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the term of the fund was officially extended by Limited Partner proxy vote to a termination date of December 31, 2023.

Particular items of equipment may be sold at any time if, in the judgment of the General Partner, it is in the best interest of the Partnership to do so. The determination of whether particular items of Partnership equipment should be sold or otherwise disposed of is made by the General Partner after consideration of all relevant factors (including prevailing general economic conditions, lessee demand, the General Partner’s views of current and future market conditions, the cash requirements of the Partnership, potential capital appreciation, cash flow and federal income tax considerations), with a view toward achieving the principal investment objectives of the Partnership. As partial payment for equipment sold, the Partnership may receive purchase money obligations secured by liens on such equipment.

MANAGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT

Equipment management services for the Partnership’s equipment are provided by the General Partner and its affiliates and by persons employed by the General Partner. Such services will consist 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 are properly utilizing and operating equipment, providing related services with respect to equipment, supervising, monitoring and reviewing services performed by others with respect to equipment and preparing monthly equipment operating statements and related reports.

COMPETITION

The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. The Partnership competes with leasing companies, equipment manufacturers and their affiliated financing companies, distributors and entities similar to the Partnership (including other programs sponsored by the General Partner), some of which have greater financial resources than the Partnership and more experience in the equipment leasing business than the General Partner. Other leasing companies and equipment manufacturers, their affiliated financing companies and distributors may be in a position to offer equipment to prospective lessees on financial terms, which are more favorable, than those which the Partnership can offer. They may also be in a position to offer trade-in privileges, software, maintenance contracts and other services, which the Partnership may not be able to offer. Equipment manufacturers and distributors may offer to sell equipment on terms (such as liberal financing terms and exchange privileges or service contracts), which will afford benefits to the purchaser similar to those obtained through leases. Other competitive factors include pricing, technological innovation and methods of financing. Certain manufacturer-lessors maintain advantages through patent protection, where applicable, and through a policy that combines service and hardware with payment accomplished through a single periodic charge. As a result of the advantages, which certain of its competitors may have, the Partnership may find it necessary to lease its equipment on a less favorable basis than certain of its competitors.

INVESTMENTS

The Partnership, through Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”), participates in the purchase of equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements. The purchase price, list price and monthly rentals presented below represent the Partnership’s share of the total amounts, based on CCC’s allocation of the equipment to the Partnership, and in some instances, other affiliated partnerships.

For the period of January 1, 2022 through May 23, 2023, the Partnership has purchased, or has made the commitment to purchase, the following equipment:

Lessee	Equipment Category	Purchased Term		Pro-rated Purchase Price
George Chiala Farms	Inventory Control Systems		60	$	34,043.83
Kasai North America, Inc	Material Handling		60	$	72,379.13
Pacific Southwest Container	Forklifts		24	$	87,463.58

RESERVES

Because the Partnership’s leases are on a “triple-net” basis, no permanent reserve for maintenance and repairs has been established from the offering proceeds. However, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may retain a portion of the cash flow and net disposition proceeds available to the Partnership for maintenance, repairs and working capital. There are no limitations on the amount of cash flow and net disposition proceeds that may be retained as reserves. Since no reserve will be established, if available cash flow of the Partnership is insufficient to cover the Partnership’s operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary for the Partnership to obtain additional funds by refinancing its equipment or borrowing additional funds.

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is 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 that does 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;

Table of Contents

	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 shall not be 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 has also agreed in the Partnership Agreement to use its best efforts to assure that the Partnership shall not be deemed an “investment company” as such term is detained in the Investment Company Act of 1940. The General Partner and its affiliates may engage in other activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement provides, however, that neither the General Partner nor any of its affiliates may receive any rebate or “give up” in connection with the Partnership’s activities or participate in reciprocal business arrangements that circumvent the restrictions in the Partnership Agreement against dealings with affiliates.

EMPLOYEES

The Partnership had no employees during 2022 and received administrative and other services from a related party, CCC, which had 22 employees as of December 31, 2022.

PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS

On March 1, 2020, the General Partner (“GP”) relocated the Partnership’s principal place of business to 4532 US Highway 19, Suite 200, New Port Richey, Florida, 34652. The GP’s telephone and fax numbers remains the same, (800) 249-3700, Fax: (727) 450-5360.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

Going Concern

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership incurred negative cash flow. At December 31, 2022, the Partnership has a working capital deficit of approximately $598,000. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The General Partner has evaluated that significant improvement in the Partner’s cash flow would be required to avoid substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The General Partner agreed to forgo distributions and allocations of net income owed to it, and suspended limited partner distributions. The General Partner will continue to waive certain fees and may defer certain related party payables owed to the Partnership in an effort to further increase the Partnership’s cash flow. Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions: the acquisition of lease equipment through financing. The Partnership may also attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.

If it is not probable that the General Partner will be able to effectively implement its plan or if it is not probable that the plan will mitigate the relevant conditions that gave rise to the substantial doubt, the Partnership may begin its liquidation process through the sale of its assets and payment of its obligations as per the Partnership agreement. If liquidation ever becomes imminent, the entity will prepare its financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting.

ITEM 3: 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.

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.

PART II

ITEM 5: MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

There is no public market for the units nor is it anticipated that one will develop. As of December 31, 2022, there were 975 holders of units. The Units are not listed on any exchange or permitted to trade on any over-the-counter market. In addition, there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of units.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS

Units cannot be transferred without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its discretion according to the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner monitors transfers of units in an effort to ensure that all transfers are within certain safe harbors promulgated by the IRS to furnish guidance regarding publicly traded partnerships. These safe harbors limit the number of transfers that can occur in any one year. The General Partner intends to cause the Partnership to comply with the safe harbor that permits nonexempt transfers and redemptions of units of up to five percent of the total outstanding interest in the Partnership’s capital or profits in any one year.

REDEMPTION PROVISION

The Partnership may, at the sole discretion of the General Partner, repurchase a number of the outstanding units pursuant to its limited redemption plan. On a semi-annual basis, the General Partner, at its discretion, may establish an amount for redemption, generally not to exceed two percent of the outstanding units per year, subject to the General Partner’s good faith determination that such redemptions will not (a) cause the Partnership to be taxed as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code or (b) impair the capital or operations of the Partnership. (The Partnership may redeem units in excess of the two percent limitation if, in the good faith judgment of the General Partner, the conditions imposed in the preceding sentence would remain satisfied.) The redemption price for units will be 105% of the selling Limited Partner’s adjusted capital contributions attributable to the units for sale. Following the determination of the annual redemption amount, redemptions will occur on a semi-annual basis and all requests for redemption, which must be made in writing, must be on file as of the record date with respect to which the redemption is to occur. The General Partner will maintain a master list of requests for redemption with priority being given to units owned by estates, followed by IRAs and qualified plans. All other requests will be considered in the order received. Redemption requests made by or on behalf of Limited Partners who are not affiliated with the General Partner or its affiliates will be given priority over those made by Limited Partners who are affiliated with the General Partner or its affiliates. All redemption requests will remain in effect until and unless canceled, in writing, by the requesting Limited Partner(s).

The Partnership began accepting redemption requests beginning 30 months following the termination of the public offering of its units. There are no limitations on the period of time that a redemption request may be pending prior to

it being granted. Limited Partners will not be required to hold their interest in the Partnership for any specified period prior to their making a redemption request.

EXEMPT TRANSFERS

The following seven categories of transfers are exempt transfers for purposes of calculating the volume limitations imposed by the IRS and will generally be permitted by the General Partner:

	1)	transfers in which the basis of the unit in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its basis in the hands of the transferor (for example, units acquired by corporations in certain reorganizations, contributions to capital, gifts of units, units contributed to another partnership, and non-liquidating as well as liquidating distributions by a parent partnership to its partners of interests in a sub partnership);

	2)	transfers at death;

	3)	transfers between members of a family (which include brothers and sisters, spouse, ancestors, and lineal descendants);

	4)	transfers resulting from the issuance of units by the Partnership in exchange for cash, property, or services;

	5)	transfers resulting from distributions from qualified plans;

	6)	any transfer by a Limited Partner in one or more transactions during any 30-day period of units representing in the aggregate more than five percent of the total outstanding interests in capital or profits of the Partnership; and

	7)	transfers by one or more partners representing in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) or more of the total interests in partnership’s capital or profits in one transaction or a series of related transactions.

Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

Limited Partners who wish to transfer their units to a new beneficial owner are required to pay the Partnership up to $50 for each transfer to cover the Partnership’s cost of processing the transfer application and take such other actions and execute such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner. There is no charge for re-registration of a unit in the event of a marriage, divorce, death, or transfer to a trust so long as the transfer is not a result of a sale of the units.

In addition, the following restrictions apply to each transfer: (i) no transfer may be made if it would cause 25% or more of the outstanding units to be owned by benefit plans; and (ii) no transfer is permitted unless the transferee obtains such governmental approvals as may reasonably be required by the General Partner, including without limitation, the written consents of the Pennsylvania Securities Commissioner and of any other securities agency or commission having jurisdiction over the transfer.

ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE LIMITED PARTNERS

Cash distributions, if any, are made quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. Distributions are made 99% to the Limited Partners and one percent to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to their capital contributions plus the priority return of 10% per annum; thereafter, cash distributions will be made 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner. Distributions made in

connection with the liquidation of the Partnership or a Partner’s units will be made in accordance with the Partner’s positive capital account balance as determined under the Partnership Agreement and Treasury Regulations.

The priority return is calculated on the Limited Partners’ adjusted capital contributions for their units. The adjusted capital contributions will initially be equal to the amount paid by the Limited Partners for their units. If distributions at any time exceed the priority return, the excess will reduce the adjusted capital contributions, decreasing the base on which the priority return is calculated. If the proceeds resulting from the sale of any equipment are reinvested in equipment, sufficient cash will be distributed to the Partners to pay the additional federal income tax resulting from such sale for a Partner in a 35% federal income tax bracket or, if lower, the maximum federal income tax rate in effect for individuals for such taxable year.

Generally, the General Partner is allocated net profits equal to its cash distributions (but not less than one percent of net profits) and the balance is allocated to the Limited Partners. Net profits arising from transactions in connection with the termination or liquidation of the Partnership are 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, if any, are in all cases allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and one percent to the General Partner.

Net profits and net losses are 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 is required to contribute cash to the capital of the Partnership in order to restore a closing capital account deficit, and the General Partner has only a limited deficit restoration obligation under the Partnership Agreement.

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS AMONG THE LIMITED PARTNERS

Cash available for distribution that is allocable to the Limited Partners is 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.

Net profits, net losses and cash available for distribution allocable to the Limited Partners is apportioned among them in accordance with the number of units owned by each.

In addition, where a Limited Partner transfers units during a taxable year, the Limited Partner may be allocated net profits for a period for which such Limited Partner does not receive a corresponding cash distribution.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our current financial position and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with the Partnership’s financial statements contained under Item 8 of this Annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion should also be read in conjunction with the disclosures above regarding “Forward-Looking Statements.”

INTRODUCTION

We were formed for the purpose of acquiring various types of business-essential technology equipment, including computer information technology, telecommunications, medical technology and other similar capital equipment. We offered for sale up to 2,500,000 units of the limited partnership at the purchase price of $20 per unit in a public offering that commenced on March 6, 2007 (the “offering”). We reached the minimum offering amount, broke escrow and commenced operations on May 10, 2007. The offering terminated on March 6, 2009 with 1,810,311 units sold for a total of approximately $36,000,000 in limited partner contributions.

Our management team consists of the officers of our corporate General Partner, Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. We have utilized the net proceeds of our public offering to purchase equipment that is subject to leases with businesses throughout the United States. We have also utilized debt financing (not in excess of 30% of the aggregate cost of the equipment owned or subject to conditional sales contracts at the time the debt is incurred) to purchase additional equipment. We acquire and lease equipment principally to U.S. corporations and other institutions pursuant to operating and finance leases. We retain the flexibility to enter into full payout net leases and conditional sales contracts, but have not done so.

COMPETITIVE OUTLOOK

As discussed in “Competition” in Item 1 above, the commercial leasing and financing industry is highly competitive and is characterized by competitive factors that vary based upon product and geographic region. We compete primarily on the basis of pricing, terms and structure, particularly on structuring flexible, responsive, and customized financing solutions for our customers. Our investments are often made directly rather than through competition in the open market. This approach limits the competition for our typical investment, which is intended to enhance returns. We believe our investment model will represent the best way for individual investors to participate in investing in business-essential equipment. Nevertheless, to the extent that our competitors compete aggressively on any combination of the foregoing factors, our results could be adversely impacted.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

Our principal investment objectives are to:

	a)	acquire, lease and sell equipment to generate revenues from operations sufficient to provide annual cash distributions to our limited partners;

	b)	preserve and protect limited partners’ capital;

	c)	use a portion of cash flow and net disposition proceeds derived from the sale, refinancing or other disposition of equipment to purchase additional equipment; and

	d)	refinance, sell or otherwise dispose of equipment in a manner that will maximize proceeds.

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, businesses located throughout the U.S., and industries served.

We also acquire high technology medical, telecommunications equipment 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 $1 trillion equipment finance sector, showed their overall new business volume for December was $12.9 billion, up 9 percent year-over-year from new business volume in December 2021. Volume was up 50 percent from $8.6 billion in November in a typical end-of-quarter, end-of-year spike. Cumulative new business volume for 2022 was up 6 percent compared to 2021.

Receivables over 30 days were 1.8 percent, up from 1.7 percent the previous month and down from 2.0 percent in the same period in 2021. Charge-offs were 0.26 percent, down from 0.27 percent the previous month and up from 0.25 percent in the year-earlier period.

Credit approvals totaled 76.6 percent, down from 77.7 percent in November. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was down 7.6 percent year-over-year.

Separately, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation’s Monthly Confidence Index (MCI-EFI) in January is 48.5, an increase from the December index of 45.9.

ELFA President and CEO Ralph Petta said, “In one of the stronger December and Q4 end-of-year showings, new business volume in the association’s monthly index is another example of businesses across the United States relying on equipment financing to enable their operations to grow and expand. This performance is especially impressive given the steady increase in short-term interest rates brought on by the Fed’s determination to bring down inflation and stabilize labor markets.”

Chris Lerma, President, AP Equipment Financing, said, “It was certainly a challenging year for lenders as they navigated through a rapidly rising rate environment, supply chain constraints, higher equipment costs and talk of an expected slowdown. Despite these challenges our industry as a whole fared well with healthy year-over-year increases in originations and stellar portfolio performance, but remains a bit cautious heading into 2023. Not knowing yet the full impact of the Fed's series of rapid rate increases on the economy, I believe many companies will start the year with more focus on credit quality and spreads versus origination volume.”

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.

Table of Contents

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 AND ESTIMATES

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management’s estimates are based 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.

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.

For the year ended December 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 presented in the current period as gross revenues and expenses.

Table of Contents

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 four 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.

Reimbursable Expenses

Reimbursable expenses are comprised of both ongoing operational expenses and fees associated with the allocation of salaries and benefits, referred to as other LP 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, leasing volume and stage of the program. For example, if a partnership has more investors than another program sponsored by CCC, then higher amounts of expenses related to investor services, including mailing and printing costs will be allocated to that partnership. Also, while a partnership is in its offering stage, higher compliance costs are allocated to it than to a program not in its offering stage, as compliance resources are utilized to review incoming investor suitability and proper documentation. Finally, lease related expenses, such as due diligence, correspondence, collection efforts and analysis and staff costs, increase as programs purchase more leases, and decrease as leases terminate and equipment is sold. All of these factors contribute to CCC’s determination as to the amount of expenses to allocate to the Partnership or to other sponsored programs. CCC is not reimbursed for salary and benefit costs of control persons. For the Partnership, all reimbursable items are expensed as they are incurred.

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of cash for the year ended December 31, 2022 was cash provided by operating activities of approximately $87,000 and net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $6,000. Our primary source of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021 was cash provided by net proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately $36,000.

Our primary uses of cash for the year ended December 31, 2022 were capital expenditures of approximately $110,000 and equipment acquisition fees paid to the General Partner of approximately $8,000. Our primary uses of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021 were capital expenditures of approximately $40,000, cash used in operating activities of approximately $6,000 and equipment acquisition fees paid to the General Partner of approximately $1,000.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $88,000 and $118,000, respectively. Other noncash activities included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of approximately $52,000 and $31,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2022, cash was held in an account maintained at one financial institution with an aggregate balance of approximately $1,000. Bank accounts are federally insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate cash balances were approximately as follows:

*Balance at December 31*	*2022*			2021
Total bank balance	$	1,000		$	31,000
FDIC insured		(1,000	)		(31,000	)
Uninsured amount	$	-		$	-

The Partnership believes it mitigates the risk of holding uninsured deposits by only depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in our accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The amounts in such accounts will fluctuate throughout 2022 due to many factors, including the pace of cash receipts, equipment acquisitions, interest rates and distributions to limited partners. The amount in money market accounts, and therefore the interest income therefrom, will fluctuate throughout 2022 due to many factors, including the pace of equipment acquisitions, distributions and changes in interest rates.

As of December 31, 2022, we had future minimum rentals on operating leases of approximately $79,000 for 2023 and approximately $95,000 thereafter. These amounts represent scheduled payments on existing leases only, and do not include expected future revenues on leases that we have not yet entered as of December 31, 2022.

The balance of our non-recourse debt at December 31, 2022 was approximately $88,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.14% to 6.21% which is payable through May 2027. Non-recourse debt leases will not generate current cash flow because the rental payments received from these leases are used to service the indebtedness associated with acquiring or financing the lease. For these leases, we anticipate that the equipment will generate income to the investor either through an extension of the lease term or from the sale of the equipment at the end of the lease term. Management does not expect significant interest rate increases to take place during 2023, and therefore expects our cost of nonrecourse borrowing to remain steady over the next 12 months.

CCC, on behalf of the Partnership and on behalf of other affiliated partnerships, acquires equipment subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships based on certain risk factors. The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2022 was approximately $2,588,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2022 was approximately $9,175,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2022 was approximately $63,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2022 was approximately $221,000.

Table of Contents

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 Partnership an opportunity to acquire additional assets and revenue streams, while allowing the Partnership to remain diversified and reducing its overall risk with respect to one portfolio. Thus, total shared equipment and related debt should continue throughout 2023 as the Partnership continues to acquire equipment for its portfolio.

Our cash flow from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to cover all operating expenses and liabilities during the next 12-month period. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover our expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, we will attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits.

The General Partner will continue to reassess the funding of limited partner distributions throughout 2023 and will continue to waive certain fees. If available cash flow or net disposition proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership may attempt to obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing equipment, or by borrowing within its permissible limits. Additionally, the Partnership will seek to enhance portfolio returns and maximize cash flow through the use of leveraged lease transactions: the acquisition of lease equipment through debt financing. This strategy allows the General Partner to acquire additional revenue generating leases without the use of investor funds thus maximizing overall return. Effective April 2, 2020, CCC agreed to convert approximately $128,000 of payables from due on demand to long term. Such payables won't be due until sometime after May 23, 2023. The purpose of this was to help the Partnership with preserving liquidity.

RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $172,000, expenses of approximately $371,000, which resulted in a net loss of approximately $199,000. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of approximately $238,000, expenses of approximately $495,000, which resulted in a net loss of approximately $257,000. The Partnership had 15 active operating leases that generated lease revenue of approximately $152,000 during 2022 as compared to 22 active operating leases that generated lease revenue of approximately $193,000 during 2021. This decrease in lease revenue is primarily due to more leases expiring versus being acquired. Management expects to add new leases to the Partnership’s portfolio throughout 2023, primarily through debt financing.

The Partnership’s equipment portfolio consists primarily of approximately 27% digital storage, 19% datacom, 17% high end servers, 10% multifunction centers, 7% servers/other, 7% inventory control centers, 6% desk/laptop computers produced by various manufacturers, 3% Forklifts, 2% Material Handling and 1% fitness equipment. The General Partner continuously monitors and seeks to decrease the concentration of equipment by type to diversify the equipment portfolio and potentially reduce the overall risk to the investor. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership had a total of one lessee that accounted for lease revenue of 10% or greater which is as follows: 35%. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Partnership had a total of three lessees that accounted for lease revenue of 10% or greater which are ranked as follows: 56%; 10% and 10%.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, operating expenses, excluding depreciation, consisted of accounting, legal, outside service fees, reimbursement of expenses to CCC and other LP charges from CCC for administration and operations as discussed in Note 5 of the financial statements. Operating expenses were approximately $241,000 and $292,000 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in accounting fees of approximately $28,000, “Other LP” expenses charged by CCC for the administration of the Partnership of approximately $22,000, recruiting fees of approximately $8,000 and legal fees of approximately $2,000, partially offset by increases in temporary services expenses of approximately $9,000 and IT expenses of approximately $6,000.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2022 the equipment management fee decreased to approximately $5,000 from approximately $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is consistent with the decrease in lease revenue.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 these expenses were approximately $88,000 and $118,000, respectively. 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 year ended December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership recognized gain of approximately $12,000 and gain of approximately $30,000 related to the sale of equipment, respectively. The decrease of 2022 gain on sale of equipment is primarily due to a decrease in the number of equipment dispositions.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, bad debt expense decreased to approximately $20,000 from $63,000, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, net loss was approximately $199,000 and $257,000, respectively. The changes in income were attributable to the changes in revenue and expenses as discussed above.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the General Partner’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures related to our reporting and disclosure obligations as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to us, which is required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Annual 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.

Table of Contents

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 December 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.

Based on our assessment, management determined that, at December 31, 2022, the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to final rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

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

ITEM 9B: OTHER INFORMATION

FUND VALUATION

Background to Fund Valuation

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), updated rules for the presentation of pricing of Alternative Investment shares in customer account statements. Under NTM 15-02, the SEC approved amendments to Rule 2340, Customer Account Statements and FINRA Rule 2310, which address a FINRA member firm’s participation in a public offering of an Alternative Investment. The amendments require a FINRA member firm to include a per share value of each Alternative Fund. The effective date of the Notice was April 11, 2016. This per share value must be prepared by, or with the material assistance or confirmation of, a third-party valuation expert or service. The results of this valuation must be disclosed in the issuer’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This valuation must be performed and published, at a minimum, annually.

Methodologies

Broker dealers are required to provide a per share estimated value on the customer account statements for each non-listed Alternative fund held by their customers. These methods must be reasonably designed to provide a reliable value. The two methods acceptable are as follows:

	·	Net Investment Methodology – This method must be based on the “amount available for investment” percentage disclosed in the “Estimated Use of Proceeds” section of the issuer’s offering prospectus. The value should equal the offering price less selling commission and organization and offering expenses. This method may be used for up to 150 days following the second anniversary of the “escrow break” of each fund.

	·	Appraised Value Methodology – This method must be disclosed in an issuer’s most recent periodic or current report based upon an appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the program by, or with the material assistance or confirmation of, a third- party valuation expert or service, in conformity with standard industry valuation practice as it relates to their specific assets and liabilities. No later than 150 days following the second anniversary of the issuer’s break of escrow, this methodology must be used.

Table of Contents

For Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI, it’s estimated per share value includes the General Partner’s estimate of the current market value of the fund. This value may not accurately reflect the value of the Fund Units to the Unit holders if held over time to Fund maturity. Additionally, there is no public market for the Units and as a result, there is no currently ascertainable fair market value for the Units. The estimate does not take into account any future distributions or returns to Unit holders over the full course of the Fund life cycle.

Valuation Components & Calculations

	A.	Fund Assets and Liabilities (other than as specifically identified below): The estimated values for non-interest bearing items such as current assets and liabilities are assumed to equal their reported GAAP balances as an appropriate approximation of their fair values. Debt (interest bearing) is assumed to equal the fair values of the debt as disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

	B.	Investments in leases (net of fees and expenses): The estimated values for Investments in leases are based on a calculation for the projected future cash flows. Projected future cash flows include both the remaining contractual lease payments, plus assumptions of lease renewals and sale value (Equipment Valuation) of the residual assumptions.

		Residual value assumptions used in the cash flow projections are as follows:

	·	For Leased Extensions and Month-to-Month Leases: Considers historical renewal periods for Commonwealth’s leases over the last five years as of November 15, 2016.

	·	For Off-Lease (Inventory): A realized residual of 25% of the installed equipment valuation as of the appraisal date.

	·	Special Situation Leases: The valuation of certain leases has been performed outside of the above noted protocol based upon specific lease assumptions different than the macro assumptions above due to the specific situations of those leases.

	C.	Syndication costs: Syndication costs for the Funds have been added to the value and are assumed to be amortized over the expected 10 to 12-year life of the Fund.

	D.	Net Book Value: The Net Book Value is the unamortized portion left during expected life of the asset with an inflation rate of 1.5% added to the value times 324% for the expected Commonwealth Capital return on investment. Inventory assets do not include the 324% factor.

	E.	Cash on Hand: Cash available for reinvestment as of the appraisal date.

Procedure for December 31, 2022 Fund Valuation

The Fund valuation for December 31, 2022 for Commonwealth Capital Corp. was accomplished by using spreadsheet and lease contract data provided by Commonwealth for the Funds with the following additional data and updates added to each Fund spreadsheet:

Columns added to each Fund spreadsheet (with formula calculation):

Table of Contents

Category: Each lease has an assigned category based on the type of asset in the lease. I.e. IBM 4250 Server would be valued as a “Server” with a decline rate for Installed Fair Market Value from 1 month to 96 months. There are 12 separate decline rate tables to value Commonwealth’s leased assets.

Net Book Value: Prorated Purchase price/48 month or 36-month. Typically, 12 months beyond initial term not to exceed 48 months. Calculations as described earlier.

Age of Asset: Months as of Valuation Date: The actual age of the asset from installation date.

Lease, Extension, MTM, Payments as of Appraisal Date: The number of months remaining in Initial Term of the lease; number of months remaining in a fixed term extension; plus, a fixed term based on the Commonwealth historical return for similar assets over the last five years. All Active, Extension and MTM leases add 10 months to their current term as of the appraisal date except for certain repeat lessees with long term recurring activity, which have a fixed 12-month extension added to any of their Active, Extension or MTM leases.

Other Calculations: Another calculation is made at the bottom of each spreadsheet for the equipment off-lease (inventory) and in the Commonwealth warehouse or other locations. It is “Equity Only” (Inventory) and is calculated at 25% of the Installed Fair Market Value from the Category tables.

Commonwealth Income and Growth Fund VI, Unit Valuation

The General Partner’s estimated per unit value at December 31, 2022 as determined and derived under the guidelines of the Appraised Value Methodology, and pursuant to the above specific enumerated component valuation methodologies and calculations is $0.50.

Disclaimer

The foregoing Fund valuation has been performed solely for the purpose of providing an estimated value per Unit in accordance with a regulatory mandate, in order to provide the broker dealer and custodian community with a valuation on a reasonable basis for use in assigning an estimation of Unit holder’s account value. Any statement of such valuations is to be accompanied by statements that the value so calculated does not represent an estimate of the amount a Unit holder would receive if the Unit holder were to seek to sell the Units, and that the Fund intends to liquidate its assets in the ordinary course of its business and over the Fund’s term. Further, each Fund’s valuations is to be accompanied by a disclosure that there can be no assurance as to (1) when the Fund will be fully liquidated, (2) the amount the Fund may actually receive if and when the Fund seeks to liquidate its assets, (3) the amount of lease or loan payments the Fund will actually receive over the remaining term, (4) the amount of asset disposition proceeds the Fund will actually receive over the remaining term, and (5) the amounts that may actually be received in distributions by Unit holders over the course of the remaining term.

ITEM 10: DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

GENERAL

The Partnership does not have any Directors or executive officers. Rather, it is managed by the Manager. The directors and officers of the Manager are required to spend only such time on Partnership affairs as is necessary for the proper conduct of Partnership business. Under certain circumstances, such directors and officers are entitled to indemnification from the Partnership. The Manager reserves the right to determine now and in the future which personnel are deemed control persons and, therefore would not seek reimbursement for personnel costs related to such persons. It is not intended that every person who carries a title such as director, vice president, executive vice president, senior vice president, manager, secretary, controller or treasurer or who holds a 5% equity interest be considered a Controlling Person.

Table of Contents

The Board of Directors of the Sponsor has established an Executive Committee, and the operations of the Manager are effectively controlled by the Executive Committee of the Sponsor. The Executive Committee has functional control over all day-to-day activities of the Sponsor and effectively the Manager. Currently, Kimberly A. Springsteen-Abbott and Henry J. Abbott are the members of the Executive Committee. Kimberly A. Springsteen-Abbott is the sole shareholder of Commonwealth Capital Corp., and thus retains ultimate control of all Commonwealth entities through her ability to elect, remove and replace directors. Prior to mid-2011, only Ms. Springsteen-Abbott was considered a controlling person of the Commonwealth-sponsored equipment funds and Mr. Abbott is currently a controlling person with respect to the equipment funds as well, with the goal being that Executive Committee membership will be indicative of control over the income funds as well as the Sponsor. For purposes of our financial operations, we do not currently consider any other employees to be control persons, and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

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’s units are not listed securities (as defined by 17 CFR § 240.10A-3); therefore, no audit committee financial expert is required.

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 to be paid by the Partnership directly or indirectly to the General Partner and its affiliates. Some of these fees are 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.

ENTITY RECEIVING COMPENSATION	TYPE OF COMPENSATION OPERATIONAL AND SALE OR LIQUIDATION STAGES	AMOUNT INCURRED DURING 2022		AMOUNT INCURRED DURING 2021
The General Partner	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 year ended December 31, 2022, equipment acquisition fees earned by the General Partner for operating and finance leases were approximately $8,000 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, equipment acquisition fees earned by the General Partner for operating and finance leases was approximately $1,000 and $0, respectively.	$	8,000	$	1,000
The General Partner and its Affiliates	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. The amounts set forth on this table do not include expenses incurred in the offering of units. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership was charged approximately $97,000 and $120,000 in other LP expense, respectively.	$	182,000	$	284,000

The General Partner	Debt Placement Fee. As compensation for arranging term debt to finance the acquisition of equipment to the Partnership, 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.	$	1,000	$	-

The General Partner	Equipment Management Fee. 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 similar equipment or (b) the sum of (i) two percent of the 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 and (iii) two percent of the gross lease revenues attributable to equipment subject to finance leases.	$	5,000	$	10,000
The General Partner	Equipment Liquidation Fee. With respect to each item of equipment sold by the general partner, a fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the competitive equipment sale commission or (ii) three percent of the sales price for such equipment. The payment of this fee is subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of (i) a return of their capital contributions and 10% annum cumulative return, compounded daily, on adjusted capital contributions and (ii) the net disposition proceeds from such sale in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Such fee is reduced to the extent any liquidation or resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the General Partner earned but waived approximately $78 and $1,000 of equipment liquidation fees, respectively.	$	78	$	1,000
The General Partner	Partnership Interest and Distribution. The General Partner has a present and continuing one percent interest of $1,000 in the Partnership’s item of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, and tax preference. In addition, the General Partner receives one percent of Cash Available for Distribution until the Limited Partners have received distributions of Cash Available for Distribution equal to their Capital Contributions plus the 10% Cumulative Return and thereafter, the General Partner will receive 10% of Cash Available for Distribution.	$	-	$	-

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Partnership is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationships with the General Partner and its affiliates. These conflicts include the following:

COMPETITION WITH GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES: COMPETITION FOR MANAGEMENT’S TIME

The General Partner and its affiliate sponsor other investor programs, which are potentially in competition with the Partnership in connection with the purchase of equipment as well as opportunities to lease and sell such equipment. Competition for equipment has occurred and is likely to occur in the future. The General Partner and its affiliates may also form additional investor programs, which may be competitive with the Partnership.

If one or more investor programs and the Partnership are in a position to acquire the same equipment, the General Partner will determine which program will purchase the equipment based upon the objectives of each and the suitability of the acquisition in light of those objectives. The General Partner will generally afford priority to the program or entity that has had funds available to purchase equipment for the longest period of time. If one or more investor programs and the Partnership are in a position to enter into a lease with the same lessee or sell equipment to the same purchaser, the General Partner will generally afford priority to the equipment which has been available for lease or sale for the longest period of time.

Table of Contents

Certain senior executives of the General Partner and its affiliates also serve as officers and directors of the other programs and are required to apportion their time among these entities. The Partnership is, therefore, in competition with the other programs for the attention and management time of the General Partner and affiliates. The officers and directors of the General Partner are not required to devote all or substantially all of their time to the affairs of the Partnership.

ACQUISITIONS

CCC and the General Partner or other affiliates of the General Partner may acquire equipment for the Partnership provided that (i) the Partnership has insufficient funds at the time the equipment is acquired, (ii) the acquisition is in the best interest of the partnership and (iii) no benefit to the General Partner or its affiliates arises from the acquisition except for compensation paid to CCC, the General Partner or such other affiliate as disclosed in this Report. CCC, the General Partner or their affiliates will not hold equipment for more than 60 days prior to transfer to the Partnership. If sufficient funds become available to the Partnership within such 60 day period, such equipment may be resold to the Partnership for a price not in excess of the sum of the cost of the equipment to such entity and any accountable acquisition expenses payable to third parties which are incurred by such entity and interest on the purchase price from the date of purchase to the date of transfer to the Partnership. CCC, the General Partner or such other affiliate will retain any rent or other payments received for the equipment, and bear all expenses and liabilities, other than accountable acquisition expenses payable to third parties with respect to such equipment, for all periods prior to the acquisition of the equipment by the Partnership. Except as described above, there will be no sales of equipment to or from any affiliate of CCC.

In certain instances, the Partnership may find it necessary, in connection with the ordering and acquisition of equipment, to make advances to manufacturers or vendors with funds borrowed from the General Partner for such purpose. The Partnership does not borrow money from the General Partner or any of its affiliates with a term in excess of twelve months. Interest is paid on loans or advances (in the form of deposits with manufacturers or vendors of equipment or otherwise) from the General Partner of its affiliates from their own funds at a rate equal to that which would be charged by third party financing institutions on comparable loans from the same purpose in the same geographic area, but in no event in excess of the General Partner’s or affiliate’s own cost of funds. In addition, if the General Partner or its affiliates borrow money and loan or advance it on a short-term basis to or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or such affiliates shall receive no greater interest rate and financing charges from the Partnership than that which unrelated lenders charge on comparable loans. The Partnership will not borrow money from the General Partner or any of its affiliates for a term in excess of twelve months.

If the General Partner or any of its affiliates purchases equipment in its own name and with its own funds in order to facilitate ultimate purchase by the Partnership, the purchaser is entitled to receive interest on the funds expended for such purchase on behalf of the Partnership. Simple interest on any such temporary purchases is charged on a floating rate basis not in excess of three percent over the “prime rate” from time to time announced by PNC Bank, from the date of initial acquisition to the date of repayment by the Partnership and ownership transfer.

The Partnership does not invest in equipment limited partnerships, general partnerships or joint ventures, except that (a) the Partnership may invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with persons other than equipment programs formed by the General Partner or its affiliates, which partnerships or joint ventures own specific equipment; provided that (i) the Partnership has or acquires a controlling interest in such ventures or partnerships, (ii) the non-controlling interest is owned by a non-affiliate, and (iii) there are no duplicate fees; and (b) the Partnership may invest in joint venture arrangements with other equipment programs formed by the General Partner or its affiliates if such action is in the best interest of all programs and if all the following conditions are met: (i) all the programs have substantially identical investment objectives; (ii) there are no duplicate fees; (iii) the sponsor compensation is substantially identical in each program; (iv) the Partnership has a right of first refusal to buy another program’s interest in a joint venture if the other program wishes to sell equipment held in the joint venture; (v) the investment of each program is on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (vi) the joint venture is formed either for the purpose of effecting appropriate diversification for the programs or for the purpose of relieving the General Partner or its affiliates from a commitment entered into pursuant to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI

New Port Richey, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, partners’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, Liquidity and Going Concern, the Partnership has historically reported recurring negative cash flows and has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1, Liquidity and Going Concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the general partner and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

As discussed in Note 2, Long-Lived Assets, 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.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of long-lived assets is a critical audit matter are the use of significant judgment and subjective factors in the Partnership’s assessment of any changes in events or circumstances that may affect the carrying amount of its long-lived assets.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following:

	·	Reviewed the internal controls over the Partnership’s impairment assessment process for equipment
	·	Reviewed the valuation method for appropriateness

Reimbursable Expenses

As discussed in Note 2, Reimbursable Expenses, reimbursable expenses are ongoing operational expenses and fees associated with the allocation of salaries and benefits which are charged to the Partnership by Commonwealth Capital Corp. (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.

We identified the allocation of reimbursable expenses as a critical audit matte due to a high degree of subjectivity in the selection of certain key factors.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over CCC’s allocation process.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following:

	·	Evaluated that the reimbursement is in compliance with the Partnership Agreement
	·	Evaluated the reasonableness and consistency of key factors used by CCC to allocate the ongoing operational expenses
	·	Tested the dollar amounts in the key factors to the accounting records of the partnerships included in the allocation

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Business

Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund VI (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 6, 2006. The Partnership offered for sale up to 2,500,000 units of 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 May 10, 2007. The offering terminated on March 6, 2009 with 1,810,311 units sold for a total of approximately $36,000,000 in limited partner contributions.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, limited partners redeemed 0 and 9,147 units of partnership interest for a total redemption price of approximately $0 and $0, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”).

The Partnership used 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 investment objective is to acquire primarily high technology equipment. Information technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to do so. Technological advances have permitted reductions in the cost of information technology processing capacity, speed, and utility. In the future, the rate and nature of equipment development may cause equipment to become obsolete more rapidly. The Partnership also acquires high technology medical, telecommunications and inventory management equipment. The Partnership’s General Partner will seek to maintain an appropriate balance and diversity in the types of equipment acquired. The market for high technology medical equipment is growing each year. Generally, this type of equipment will have a longer useful life than other types of technology equipment. This allows for increased re-marketability, if it is returned before its economic or announcement cycle is depleted.

The Partnership’s General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CCC. CCC is a member of the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) and the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (“ELFA”). By proxy vote of the Limited Partners at shareholders meeting that was held on September 4, 2018, the term of the fund was extended to a termination date of December 31, 2023.

Allocations of income and distributions of cash are based on the Agreement. The various allocations under the Agreement prevent any limited partner’s capital account from being reduced below zero and ensure the capital accounts reflect the anticipated sharing ratios of cash distributions, as defined in the Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no limited partner cash distributions.

Liquidity and Going Concern

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership reported negative cash flow. At December 31, 2022, the Partnership has a working capital deficit of approximately $598,000. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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. Such estimates relate primarily to the determination of residual values at the end of the lease term, the expected future cash flows and fair value used for impairment analysis purposes and determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Disclosure of Fair Value

Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership applies the provisions included in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic to all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This Topic emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Topic requires the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

	●	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	●	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

	●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require internal development of assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021. There were no assets measured on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Fair Value disclosures of financial instruments

Estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment was necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Cash, other receivables, accounts payable and other accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the immediate or 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market interest rates.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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.

F-11

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.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this Update eliminate the accounting guidance for (Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13, the effective dates for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective dates in Update 2016-13. The Partnership does not anticipate this update having a material impact to its financial statement upon adoption. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Partnership finance lease revenue subject to CECL represented less than 1% of total lease revenue.

Other Assets

Equipment acquisition costs and deferred expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over two-to-four year lives based on the original term of the lease and loan, respectively. Unamortized acquisition costs and deferred expenses are charged to amortization expense when the associated leased equipment is sold.

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.

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

Income Taxes

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 701 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes. All income and losses of the Partnership are the liability of the individual partners and are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their individual tax returns. The Partnership does not have any entity-level uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Partnership believes its tax status as a pass-through entity would be sustained under U.S. Federal, state or local tax examination. The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state income tax returns and is generally subject to examination by federal, state and local income tax authorities for three years from the filing of a tax return.

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 revenue.

Net Loss Per Equivalent Limited Partnership Unit

The net loss per equivalent limited partnership unit is computed based upon net loss allocated to the limited partners and the weighted average number of equivalent units outstanding during the period.

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

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

Remarketing fees will be paid to the leasing companies from which the Partnership purchases leases. These are fees that are earned by the leasing companies when the initial terms of the lease have been met. The General Partner believes that this strategy adds value since it entices the leasing company to remain actively involved with the lessees and encourages potential extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment. This strategy is designed to minimize conflicts the leasing company may have with a new lessee and may assist in maximizing overall portfolio performance. The remarketing fee is tied into lease performance thresholds and is a factor in the negotiation of the fee. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with lease extensions are accounted for as operating costs. Remarketing fees incurred in connection with the sale of equipment are included in the gain or loss calculations.

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 December 31, 2022 was approximately $2,588,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2022 was approximately $9,175,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2022 was approximately $63,000 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2022 was approximately $221,000.

The Partnership’s share of the cost of the equipment in which it participates with other partnerships at December 31, 2021 was approximately $2,359,000 and is included in the Partnership’s equipment on its balance sheet. The total cost of the equipment shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at December 31, 2021 was approximately $8,544,000. The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at December 31, 2021 was approximately $0 and is included in the Partnership’s notes payable on its balance sheet. The total outstanding debt related to the equipment shared by the Partnership at December 31, 2021 was approximately $0.
