NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.
Business





Commonwealth
Income & Growth Fund V (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership
organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on May 19, 2003.  The
Partnership offered for sale up to 1,250,000 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 March 14,
2005.  As of February 24, 2006, the Partnership was fully
subscribed.





The
Partnership used the proceeds of the Offering to acquire, own and lease various
types of information technology equipment and other similar capital equipment,
which is leased primarily to U.S. corporations and
institutions.  Commonwealth Capital Corp. (“CCC”), on behalf of the
Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, acquires computer equipment
subject to associated debt obligations and lease agreements and allocates a
participation in the cost, debt and lease revenue to the various partnerships
based on certain risk factors.





The
Partnership’s General Partner is Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund, Inc.
(the “General Partner”), a Pennsylvania corporation which is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of CCC.  CCC is a member of the Investment Program
Association (IPA), Financial Planning Association (FPA), and the Equipment
Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA).  Approximately ten years after
the commencement of operations, the Partnership intends to sell or otherwise
dispose of all of its computer equipment, make final distributions to partners
and to dissolve.  Unless sooner terminated, the Partnership will
continue until December 31, 2015.





2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Recent
Accounting Pronouncements





Management’s
assessment of the following accounting pronouncements has changed since
disclosed in its Form 10K for December 31, 2007





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to Audit Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Partnership is currently
evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its
financial statements.





In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified
election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses will be reported on items for which the fair value
option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No.
159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or
before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”.  As of January 1,
2008 the Partnership adopted SFAS No.159. The Partnership has not elected the
fair value option for any assets or liabilities.




In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157,
“Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which provides guidance on measuring the
fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at
fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly
reports. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be adopted by the Partnership in the
first quarter of its fiscal year 2008.   In February 2008, the FASB issued
two Staff Positions on SFAS 157: (1) FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1  
 (FAS 157-1), “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No.
13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13,” and (2)
FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FAS 157-2), “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No 157.” FAS 157-1 excludes FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as
well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on
lease classification or measurement under Statement 13, from SFAS 157’s scope.
FAS157-2 partially defers Statement 157’s effective date.  As of January 1,
2008 the Partnership partially adopted SFAS No. 157 for all financial assets.
 Adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the financial statements of
the Partnership at June 30, 2008

Basis
of Presentation





The
financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2007 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit.  Financial
information as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial
statements of the Partnership, but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles to be included in audited financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information for the periods indicated, have been
included.  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, 2007.  Operating results for the six months ended June
30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be
expected for the full year ended December 31, 2008.




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.  The Partnership determined that
impairment in the amount of approximately $15,000 existed as of June 30, 2008.
No impairment was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2007.





Depreciation
on computer equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the
straight-line method estimated generally over useful lives of three to four
years.





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.





3.
Computer Equipment





The
Partnership is the lessor of equipment under operating leases with periods
ranging from 11 to 36 months.  In general, associated costs such as
repairs and maintenance, insurance and property taxes are paid by the
lessee.





Through
June 30, 2008, the Partnership has only entered into operating
leases.  Lease revenue is recognized on the monthly straight-line
basis in accordance with the terms of the operating lease
agreements.  The company’s leases do not contain any step-rent
provisions or escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any
index.





Remarketing
fees are 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 and the equipment is re-leased or
sold.  The General Partner believes that this strategy adds value
since it entices the leasing company to "stay with the lease" for potential
extensions, remarketing or sale of equipment.  This strategy
potentially minimizes any conflicts the leasing company may have with a
potential new lease and will potentially assist in maximizing overall portfolio
performance.  The remarketing fee is tied into lease performance
thresholds and is factored 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
computer equipment are included in our gain or loss calculations.  For
the six months ended June 30, 2008 remarketing fees were incurred in the
amount of approximately $5,000. No remarketing fees were incurred for the
six months ended June 30, 2007.

Related Party Transactions





Receivables/Payables





As of
June 30, 2008, the Partnership’s related party receivables and payables are
short term, unsecured, and non-interest bearing.





Reimbursable
Expenses





The
General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement by the
Partnership for the cost of supplies and services obtained and used by the
General Partner in connection with the administration and operation of the
Partnership from third parties unaffiliated with the General
Partner.  In addition, the General Partner and its affiliates are
entitled to reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the General Partner
and its affiliates in connection with the administration and operation of the
Partnership.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the
Partnership recorded approximately $769,000 and $664,000, respectively, for
reimbursement of expenses to the General Partner.





Offering
Costs





Offering
costs are payments for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, professional
fees and other offering expenses relating to the syndication of the
Partnership’s units.  Selling commissions are 8% 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.





Equipment
Acquisition Fee





The
General Partner is entitled to be paid 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 six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, equipment acquisition fees of approximately $35,000 and $231,000,
respectively, were earned bythe
General Partner.

 Table of
Contents


Debt
Placement Fee





As
compensation for arranging term debt to finance the acquisition of equipment by
the Partnership, the General Partner is paid a fee equal to 1% 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 and no such fee will be
paid with respect to borrowings from the General Partner or its
affiliates.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 debt
placement fees of approximately $3,000 and $22,000, respectively, were earned by
the General Partner.




Equipment
Management Fee





The
General Partner is entitled to be paid a monthly fee equal to the lesser of (i)
the fees which would be charged by an independent third party for similar
services for similar equipment or (ii) the sum of (a) two percent of (1) the
gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to full payout
net leases which contain net lease provisions plus (2) the purchase price paid
on conditional sales contracts as received by the Partnership and (b) 5% of the
gross lease revenues attributable to equipment which is subject to operating and
capital leases.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
equipment management fees of approximately $178,000, and $156,000, respectively,
were earned by the General Partner.





Equipment
Liquidation Fee





With
respect to each item of equipment sold by the General Partner (other than in
connection with a conditional sales contract), 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 is payable to the General Partner.  The
payment of such fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of
the net disposition proceeds from such sale in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement.  Such fee will be reduced to the extent any liquidation or
resale fees are paid to unaffiliated parties.  For the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, equipment liquidation fees of approximately
$17,000 and $23, respectively, were earned by the General Partner.

Item 2: Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations





FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS





Certain
statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). These statements are being made
pursuant to the PSLRA, with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe
harbor” provisions of the PSLRA, and, other than as required by law, we assume
no obligation to update or supplement such statements. Forward-looking
statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact. They include,
but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or
imply future results, performance, achievements or events. You can identify
these statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict” or “project”
and variations of these words or comparable words or phrases of similar meaning.
These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs and expectations
with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to
risks and uncertainties and other factors outside our control that may cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected.





CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES





The
Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its financial statements which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Partnership to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. The Partnership bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.





The
Partnership believes that its critical accounting policies affect its more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial
statements.




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. Depreciation on computer
equipment for financial statement purposes is based on the straight-line method
estimated generally over useful lives of three or four years.





REVENUE
RECOGNITION





Through
June 30, 2008, the Partnership has only entered into operating
leases.  Lease revenue is recognized on a monthly straight-line basis
which is generally in accordance with the terms of the operating lease
agreement. The Partnership’s leases do not contain any step-rent provisions or
escalation clauses nor are lease revenues adjusted based on any
index.





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,
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.  The Partnership determined that
impairment in the amount of approximately $15,000 existed as of June 30,
2008.   No impairment was recorded for the six months ended June
30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





The
Partnership’s primary source of capital for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 was cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1,019,000
and $1,788,000.  Equipment was purchased in the amount of approximately
$584,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and distributions were paid
in the amount of approximately $1,250,000.  Equipment was purchased in
the amount of approximately $3,563,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007
and distributions were paid in the amount of approximately
$1,250,000.





The
Partnership intends to invest approximately $2,000,000 in additional equipment
for the remainder of 2008.  The acquisition of this equipment will be
funded by debt financing and cash flows from lease rental payments.





For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership generated cash flows from
operating activities in the amount of approximately $1,019,000, which includes a
net loss of approximately $272,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses
of approximately $2,915,000.  Other non-cash activities included in
the determination of net income include direct payments of lease income by
lessees to banks of approximately $997,000.




For the
six months ended June 30, 2007, the Partnership generated cash flows from
operating activities in the amount of approximately $1,788,000, which includes a
net loss of approximately $117,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses
of approximately $2,473,000.  Other non-cash activities included in
the determination of net income include direct payments of lease income by
lessees to banks of approximately $796,000.





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, 2008, the Partnership had future minimum
rentals on non-cancelable operating leases of approximately $3,041,000 for the
balance of the year ending December 31, 2008 and approximately $3,656,000
thereafter.  As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding debt was
approximately $2,428,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 6.30%, and
will be payable through January 2011.





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 is deemed necessary.





The
Partnership’s share of the computer equipment in which it participates with
other partnerships at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was approximately
$8,991,000 and $8,381,000, respectively, which is included in the Partnership’s
fixed assets on its balance sheet.  The total cost of the equipment
shared by the Partnership with other partnerships at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007 was approximately $20,827,000 and $17,371,000,
respectively.  The Partnership’s share of the outstanding debt
associated with this equipment at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was
$1,457,000 and $1,683,000, respectively.  The total outstanding debt
associated with this equipment at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was
$3,585,000 and $3,187,000, respectively.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS





Three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to Three months ended June 30, 2007





For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership recognized revenue of
approximately $1,848,000 and expenses of approximately $2,028,000, resulting in
a net loss of approximately $180,000.  For the three months ended June
30, 2007, the Partnership recognized revenue of approximately $1,784,000 and
expenses of approximately $1,873,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately
$89,000.





Lease
income increased to approximately $1,740,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008, from approximately $1,737,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2007.  This increase was primarily due to more new lease agreements
being entered into versus lease agreements terminating during the three months
ended June 30, 2008.




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 expenses increased 14% to
approximately $422,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $370,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  This increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in Partnership taxes, limited partnership expenses
and remarketing fees.





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 increased 6% to approximately $92,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008, from $87,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, which is
consistent with the increase in lease income.





Depreciation
and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on computer equipment and
amortization of equipment acquisition fees. These expenses increased 7% to
approximately $1,474,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from
$1,374,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due to
the acquisition of new equipment attributable to the purchase of new
leases.




Six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to Six months ended June 30, 2007





For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership recognized income of
approximately $3,699,000, and expenses of approximately $3,972,000, resulting in
a net loss of approximately $272,000.  For the six months ended June
30, 2007, the Partnership recognized income of approximately $3,237,000, and
expenses of approximately $3,354,000, resulting in a net loss of approximately
$117,000.





Lease
income increased 14% to $3,567,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from
$3,116,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to more lease
agreements entered into since the six months ended June 30, 2007.





Operating
expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting, legal,
outside service fees and reimbursement of expenses to CCC, a related party, for
administration and operation of the Partnership.  The expenses
increased to approximately $796,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from
$656,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to an increase in
other limited partnership expenses, Partnership taxes and legal
fees.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures





Our
management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal
executive officer and principal financial offer, have evaluated the
effectiveness of our controls and procedures related to our reporting and
disclosure obligations as of June 30, 2008 which is the end of the period

concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide
that (a) material information relating to us, including our consolidated
affiliates is made known to these officers by us and our consolidated
affiliates’ other employees, particularly material information related to the
period for which this periodic report is being prepared; and (b) this
information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as
applicable, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  There have been no
significant changes in the General Partner’s internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures

Part
II:   OTHER INFORMATION





Item
1.                                Legal
Proceedings





In April
2007, our lessee Quick Loan Funding, Inc. began defaulting on its lease
payments.  From April 2007 through the first quarter of 2008 we attempted
several times to collect payment of outstanding lease payments and to recover
the equipment from this lessee. On April 2, 2008, we filed suit in the Superior
Court of Orange County, California (Docket No. 30-2008-00104785) against Quick
Loan Funding, Inc. and its owner, Daniel Sadek, to recover the unpaid lease
payments, late fees and the equipment. In July 2008, we recovered a portion of
the equipment leased to Quick Loan Funding, and we are continuing to pursue all
available means to recover the remainder of the equipment and the outstanding
amounts owed to us.  We anticipate the entry of a judgment in our favor
during the third quarter of 2008, and will then focus on enforcement of the
judgment against any available assets of Quick Loan Funding.   While
we believe Quick Loan Funding is currently insolvent, to our knowledge no
proceedings in bankruptcy have been initiated, and we believe that Quick Loan
Funding may have sufficient assets to cover our anticipated judgment against it.
 To date, the Partnership has recorded a reserve against all outstanding
rentals in the amount of approximately $43,000 and has impaired the equipment
leased to Quick Loan Funding by 10% this quarter. The Partnership determined
that impairment in the amount of approximately $15,000 existed as of June 30,
2008.  Prior to the first quarter of 2008, the Partnership had
impaired these assets by approximately 15%.
