| Commitments and Contingencies | COVID-19 Pandemic The amount of revenue recognized and the pattern of revenue recognition
may be impacted by COVID-19. Some of the business sectors that we service such as education centers, medical facilities, payroll
administrators, manufacturing and transportation, we may need to account for returns and refund liabilities. The pattern of revenue
recognition may change for delays in rendering services. In periods ended subsequent to the outbreak of COVID-19, the
impact on expected credit losses and future cash flow projections used in impairment testing will need to be considered. The Company continues to evaluate whether adjustments to the financial
statements are required or whether additional disclosures are necessary. In our leasing business, the Company is always subject
to credit losses as it relates to a customer’s ability to make timely rental payments. The impact of COVID-19 may contribute
to risk of non-performance, where a customer may experience financial difficulty and may delay in making timely payments. The Company recognizes impairment of receivables and loans when losses
are incurred, which is when it is probable that an entity will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the arrangement. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivable’s
or loans effective interest rate, except that, as a practical expedient, impairment can be measured based on a receivable’s
or loans’ observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company believes its estimate of expected losses have been recognized
based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The impacts of COVID-19 may necessitate additional
adjustments in future forecasts of expected losses. Although the Partnership cannot estimate the length or gravity of
the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Partnership
results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020 and beyond. Medshare In January 2015, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a Purchase
Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of the equipment to Medshare Technologies (“Medshare”) for
approximately $3,400,000. The Partnership’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately $77,000. As of November
16, 2020, the Partnership had received approximately $62,000 of the approximate $77,000 sale proceeds and has recorded a reserve
of $15,000 against the outstanding receivables. On April 3, 2015 Medshare was obligated to make payment in full and failed
to do so. As a result, Medshare defaulted on its purchase agreement with CCC and was issued a demand letter for full payment
of the equipment. On June 25, 2015, Medshare filed a lawsuit in Texas state court for breach of contract (“State Suit”).
On June 26, 2015, Commonwealth filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas against Medshare seeking payment in full and/or
return of the Equipment and damages. In July 2016, CCC, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a $1,400,000
binding Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Medshare and its principal owner, Chris Cleary (collectively
referred to as “Defendants”), who are held jointly and severally liable for the entire settlement. On August
2, 2016, the Defendants made payment to CCC of an initial $200,000 to be followed by 24 structured monthly payments of approximately
$50,000 per month to begin no later than September 15, 2016. The Partnership’s share of the Settlement Agreement is
approximately $23,000 and is to be applied against the net Medshare receivable of approximately $18,000 as of the settlement date.
The remaining $5,000 will be applied against the $15,000 reserve and recorded as a bad debt recovery. As of November 16,
2020, the Partnership received approximately $9,000 of the approximate $23,000 settlement agreement which was applied against the
net Medshare receivable of approximately $18,000 as of the settlement date. As Defendant defaulted on settlement agreement,
CCC sought and obtained consent judgment from U.S. District Court for Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division on July 27, 2017
in the amount of $1.5 million, less $450,000 previously paid plus $6,757 in attorney fees, both the Defendant and Cleary being
jointly and severally liable for the judgment amount. The court also vacated the September 21, 2016 settlement dismissal. On July 27, 2017 Defendant filed Chapter 11 in Northern District
of Texas Dallas Division. On July 26, 2017 Legacy Texas Bank, a secured creditor of the Defendant filed for a TRO in the
U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Included with the TRO filing was a request for appointment
of trustee for operation of Defendant, which was granted and the case converted to Chapter 7. On December 18, 2018 the Bankruptcy
Court entered final order and issued its last payment to CCC in March 2019 of approximately $43,000, of which the Partnership’s
share was approximately $700. The Medshare Bankruptcy matter is now closed. Although the trustee’s final distribution
to Commonwealth did not fully satisfy the judgment, recovery may still be pursued directly against Cleary. FINRA On May 3, 2013, the FINRA Department of Enforcement filed a complaint
naming Commonwealth Capital Securities Corp. (“CCSC”) and the owner of the firm, Kimberly Springsteen-Abbott, as respondents;
however, on October 22, 2013, FINRA filed an amended complaint that dropped the allegations against CCSC and reduced the scope
of the allegations against Ms. Springsteen-Abbott. The sole remaining charge was that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott had approved
the misallocation of some expenses to certain Funds. Management believes that the expenses at issue include amounts that
were proper and that were properly allocated to Funds, and also identified a smaller number of expenses that had been allocated
in error, but were adjusted and repaid to the affected Funds when they were identified in 2012. During the period in question,
Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”) and Ms. Springsteen-Abbott provided important financial support to the Funds, voluntarily
absorbed expenses and voluntarily waived fees in amounts aggregating in excess of any questioned allocations. A Hearing Panel
ruled on March 30, 2015, that Ms. Springsteen-Abbott should be barred from the securities industry because the Panel concluded
that she allegedly misallocated approximately $208,000 of expenses involving certain Funds over the course of three years.
As such, management had already reallocated back approximately $151,225 of the $208,000 (in allegedly misallocated expenses)
to the affected funds, which was fully documented, as good faith payments for the benefit of those Income Funds. The decision of the Hearing Panel was stayed when it was appealed
to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council (the “NAC”) pursuant to FINRA Rule 9311. The NAC issued a decision that
upheld the lower panel’s ruling and the bar took effect on August 23, 2016. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott appealed the NAC’s
decision to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On March 31, 2017, the SEC criticized that
decision as so flawed that the SEC could not even review it, and remanded the matter back to FINRA for further consideration consistent
with the SEC’s remand, but did not suggest any view as to a particular outcome. On July 21, 2017, FINRA reduced the list of 1,840 items totaling
$208,000 to a remaining list of 87 items totaling $36,226 (which includes approximately $30,000 of continuing education expenses
for personnel providing services to the Funds), and reduced the proposed fine from $100,000 to $50,000, but reaffirmed its position
on the bar from the securities industry. Respondents promptly appealed FINRA’s revised ruling to the SEC. All
the requested or allowed briefs have been filed with the SEC. The SEC upheld FINRA’s order on February 7, 2020 to bar,
but eliminated FINRA’s proposed fine. Ms. Springsteen-Abbott has filed a Petition for Review in the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review a final order entered against her by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. As the SEC eliminated FINRA’s fine completely, Management is even more confident that regardless of final
resolution, it will not result in any material adverse financial impact to the Funds, although a final assurance cannot be provided
until the legal matter is resolved. That appeal is pending as of November 16, 2020. |
