NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund II (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
to acquire, own and lease various types of
computer peripheral equipment and other
similar capital equipment, which will be
leased primarily to U.S. corporations and
institutions. Commonwealth Capital Corp
("CCC"), on behalf of the Partnership and
other affiliated partnerships, acquires
computer equipment subject to associated debt
obligations and lease agreements and
allocates a participation in the cost, debt
and lease revenue to the various partnerships
based on certain risk factors. The
Partnership's General Partner is Commonwealth
Income & Growth Fund, Inc. (the "General
Partner"), a Pennsylvania corporation which
is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
CCC. CCC is a member of the Investment
Program Association (IPA), Financial Planning
Association (FPA), and the Equipment Leasing
Association (ELA). Approximately ten years
after the commencement of operations, the
Partnership intends to sell or otherwise
dispose of all of its computer equipment,
make final distributions to partners, and to
dissolve. Unless sooner terminated, the
Partnership will continue until December 31,
2006.
2. Summary of Basis of Presentation
Significant
Accounting The financial information presented as of
Policies any date other than December 31 has been
prepared from the books and records without
audit. Financial information as of December
31 has been derived from the audited
financial statements of the Partnership, but
does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial information for
the periods indicated have been included. For
further information regarding the
Partnership's accounting policies, refer to
the financial statements and related notes
included in the Partnership's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002. Operating results for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of financial results
that may be expected for the full year ended
December 31, 2003.
Revenue Recognition
Through June 30, 2003, the Partnership's
leasing operations consist substantially of
operating leases and seven direct-financing
leases. Operating lease revenue is recognized
on a monthly basis in accordance with the
terms of the lease agreement. Unearned
revenue from direct financing agreements is
amortized to revenue over the lease term.
Gains or losses on the sales of equipment are
recognized on the date of the sale agreement.
The Partnership reviews a customer's credit
history before extending credit and
establishes a provision for uncollectible
accounts receivable based upon the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends
and other information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership evaluates its long-lived
assets when events or circumstances indicate
that the value of the asset may not be
recoverable. The Partnership determines
whether an 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 an impairment exists. The
amount of the impairment is determined based
on the difference between the carrying value
and the fair value. The fair value is
determined based on estimated discounted cash
flows to be generated by the asset. As of
June 30, 2003, there is no impairment.
Depreciation on computer equipment for
financial statement purposes is based on the
straight-line method over estimated useful
lives of four years.
Intangible Assets
Equipment acquisition costs and deferred
expenses, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over two- to-four year lives.
Unamortized acquisition fees and deferred
expenses are charged to amortization expense
when the associated leased equipment is sold.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents have been invested in a money
market fund investing directly in Treasury
obligations.
Income Taxes
The Partnership is not subject to federal
income taxes; instead, any taxable income
(loss) is passed through to the partners and
included on their respective income tax
returns.
Taxable income differs from financial
statement net income as a result of reporting
certain income and expense items for tax
purposes in periods other than those used for
financial statement purposes, principally
relating to depreciation, amortization, and
lease income.
Offering Costs
Offering costs are payments for selling
commissions, dealer manager fees,
professional fees and other offering expenses
relating to the syndication. Selling
commissions are 7% of the partners'
contributed capital and dealer manager fees
are 2% of the partners' contributed capital.
These costs have been deducted from
partnership capital in the accompanying
financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) Per Equivalent Limited
Partnership Unit
The net income (loss) per equivalent limited
partnership unit is computed based upon net
income (loss) allocated to the limited
partners and the weighted average number of
equivalent units outstanding during the
period.
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursable expenses, which are charged to
the Partnership by CCC in connection with the
administration and operation of the
Partnership, are allocated to the Partnership
based upon several factors including, but not
limited to, the number of investors,
compliance issues, and the number of existing
leases.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical
accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the
Financial Statements. The significant accounting policies that we believe are
the most critical to aid in fully understanding our reported financial results
include the following:
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
Commonwealth Capital Corp, on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated
partnerships, acquires computer equipment subject to associated debt obligations
and lease revenue and allocates a participation in the cost, debt and lease
revenue to the various partnerships based on certain risk factors.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Through June 30, 2003, the Partnership's leasing operations consist
substantially of operating leases and seven direct-financing leases. Operating
lease revenue is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of
the lease agreement. Unearned revenue from direct financing agreements is
amortized to revenue over the lease term. Gains or losses on the sales of
equipment are recognized on the date of the sale agreement.
The Partnership reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit and
establishes a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the
credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Partnership evaluates its long-lived assets when events or circumstances
indicate that the value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Partnership
determines whether an 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 an 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. Depreciation on computer
equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives of four years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of capital for the six months ended June 30,
2003 and June 30, 2002 were from net proceeds received from sale of equipment
totaling $382,000 and $122,000, respectively, and cash from operations of
$437,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary uses of cash for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, were for capital
expenditures for new equipment totaling $15,000 and $97,000, respectively, the
payment of preferred distributions to partners of $289,000 for both periods and
operating activities of $23,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership used cash flows
from operating activities of $23,000, which includes net income of $299,000, a
gain on sale of equipment totaling $318,000, and depreciation and amortization
expenses of $533,000. Other noncash activities included in the determination of
net loss include direct payments of lease income by lessees to banks of
$536,000.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, the Partnership generated cash
flows from operating activities of $437,000, which includes a net loss of
$110,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of $1,033,000. Other noncash
activities included in the determination of net loss include direct payments of
lease income by lessees to banks of $595,000.
Cash is invested in money market accounts that invest directly in treasury
obligations pending the Partnership's use of such funds to purchase additional
computer equipment, to pay Partnership expenses or to make distributions to the
Partners.
In June 2003, the Partnership, through CCC, reached a favorable settlement in a
lawsuit against a customer for failure to make monthly lease payments based on
the existing lease terms. The settlement did not have a material adverse impact
to the financial statements of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2002, the
Partnership had recorded a receivable from the customer of approximately
$404,000, net of an allowance of approximately $330,000. In July 2003, the
Partnership has received approximately $405,000 in proceeds relating to this
receivable.
As of June 30, 2003, the Partnership has a non-interest bearing receivable from
CCC, a related party to the Partnership, in the amount of approximately
$226,000. This receivable, as well as any future receivables, was and will be
made at the discretion of the General Partner, per the prospectus, and was
substantially advanced in 2001. CCC, through its indirect subsidiaries,
including the General Partner of the Partnership, earns fees based on revenues
and new lease purchases from this fund. CCC intends to repay the receivable via
the offsetting of acquisition and debt placement fees, over the next several
fiscal years, with a minimum payment of $5,000 per month, commencing January 1,
2003.
The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring computer equipment and
generally leasing it under "triple-net leases" to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses. As
of June 30, 2003, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on non-cancelable
operating leases of $553,000 for the balance of the year ending December 31,
2003 and $716,000 thereafter. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding debt was
$1,216,000, with interest rates ranging from 5.95% to 9.75%, and will be payable
through June 2006.
The Partnership's cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to
cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and preferred distributions to
Partners during the next 12-month period. 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 will attempt to
obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing Equipment, or by
borrowing within its permissible limits. The Partnership may, from time to time,
reduce the distributions to its Partners if it deems necessary. Since the
Partnership's leases are on a "triple-net" basis, no reserve for maintenance and
repairs are deemed necessary.
The Partnership's share of the computer equipment in which they participate with
other partnerships at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was approximately
$1,660,000 and $1,645,000, respectively, which is included in the Partnership's
fixed assets on their balance sheet, and the total cost of the equipment shared
by the Partnership with other partnerships at June 30, 2003 and December 31,
2002 was approximately $2,813,000 and $2,765,000, respectively. The
Partnership's share of the outstanding debt associated with this equipment at
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was approximately $676,000 and $801,000,
respectively, which is included in the Partnership's liabilities on the balance
sheet, and the total outstanding debt at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002
related to the equipment shared by the Partnership was approximately $1,137,000
and $1,353,000, respectively.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

expenses of $717,000, resulting in a net loss of $33,000.
Lease income decreased by 40% to $409,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003,
from $686,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to the fact
that more lease agreements ended than new lease agreements acquired since the
quarter ended June 30, 2002.
The Partnership sold computer equipment with a net book value of $56,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, for a net gain of $324,000. The Partnership sold
computer equipment with a net book value of $16,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 2002, for a net loss of $2,000.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting,
legal, outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC for
administration and operation of the Partnership. The expense increased 5% to
approximately $144,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, from $137,000 for
the quarter ended June, 2002, which is primarily attributable to an increase in
the amount charged by CCC, a related party, to the Partnership for the
administration and operation of approximately $2,000, and an decrease in
remarketing fees of approximately $5,000, an increase in accounting fees of
approximately $5,000 and an increase in legal fees of approximately $7,000.
The equipment management fee is approximately 5% of the gross lease revenue
attributable to equipment that is subject to operating leases. The equipment
management fee decreased 40% to approximately $20,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 2003, from $34,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, which is consistent
with the decrease in lease income.
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on computer
equipment and amortization of equipment acquisition fees. The expenses decreased
49% to approximately $250,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, from $489,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 due to equipment and acquisition fees being
fully depreciated/amortized and not being replaced with as many new purchases.
Interest expense decreased 43% to $24,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003
from $43,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to the decrease
in debt relating to the purchase of computer equipment.

the six months ended June, 2002, which is primarily attributable to an increase

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS 150
In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope
as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments
were previously classified as equity. SFAS is applicable immediately for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise
shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. The Partnership believes that the adoption of SFAS 150 will not
have an impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership believes its exposure to market risk is not material due to the
fixed interest rate of its long- term debt and its associated fixed revenue
streams.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and A Financial Officer of the Partnership have
conducted a review of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of
June 30, 2003.
The Company's disclosure controls and procedures include the Partnership's
controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the " Exchange Act") is accumulated and communicated to the
Partnership's management, including its chief executive officer and a financial
officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to ensure
that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the
required time periods.
Based upon this review, the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and the A
Financial Officer have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls (as
defined in pursuant to Rule 13a-14 c promulgated under the Exchange Act) are
sufficiently effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed
by the Partnership in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported with adequate timeliness.
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Commonwealth Capital Corp filed a complaint on
December 21, 2001 with Avon Products, Inc. with the
Federal District Court of the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, No. 01-C2-6915. The complaint alleges
that the defendants illegally purchased/sold leased
equipment without the Partnership's authorization,
along with suing for late fees on various lease
payments.
In December 2002, the representatives of CCC, along
with representatives from El Camino (the original
broker for the Avon lease) and consultants for Avon,
met for a reconciliation meeting. This meeting was
designed to reconcile all accounting issues (rentals
due) related to the Avon lease. A final
reconciliation was not submitted by all parties until
around February 15, 2003. At that time, CCC
reconciled, via payments histories, the amounts owed
by each party. A settlement conference with the judge
was then scheduled for March 6, 2003. Prior to the
conference, CCC submitted their reconciliation of
amounts due. At the conference, a reasonable
settlement could not be reached on various issues
involved in the litigation. Avon was granted another
90 days for discovery.
As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership had recorded
a receivable from Avon of approximately $404,000, net
of an allowance of approximately $330,000. In June
2003, a settlement was reached between all parties.
As part of the settlement, title to the equipment was
transferred to Avon. In July 2003, the Partnership
has received approximately $405,000 in proceeds
relating to this receivable. The checks were received
on July 3, 2003 and July 14, 2003.
