CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:

Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on February 18, 1994 for the purpose of acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and equipment leased on a “triple net” basis, primarily to operators of national and regional franchised businesses.

The initial general partners upon formation of the Partnership were Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III (the “Corporation”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. (“Captec”), an affiliate, and Patrick L. Beach, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. In August 1998, Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Captec Net Lease Realty”), an affiliate, acquired the general partnership interests of the Partnership. In December 2001, Captec Net Lease Realty merged with and into Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Commercial Net Lease”). In connection with the merger, Commercial Net Lease agreed to sell and assign its general partnership interest in the Partnership to GP3 Asset Acquisition, LLC (“GP3 Asset Acquisition”), which is wholly-owned by Mr. Beach and is an affiliate of Captec. Effective January 15, 2002, the limited partners consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest. On September 11, 2003, the Partnership’s secured lender consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest to GP3 Asset Acquisition. Upon receipt of the secured lender’s consent, the general partnership interest was immediately transferred to GP3 Asset Acquisition. Therefore, as of September 11, 2003, GP3 Asset Acquisition became the general partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership commenced a public offering (the “Offering”) of up to 20,000 units (the “Units”) of limited partnership interests, priced at $1,000 per Unit, by means of a Registration Statement on Form SB-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 1994. The Partnership accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Units on January 24, 1995 and immediately commenced operations. The Offering was fully subscribed in August 1996. Since 1997, 367 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Plan set forth in the Partnership’s August 12, 1994 prospectus with respect to the Offering. At September 30, 2006, the Partnership had 19,633 Units issued and outstanding.

The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are: (i) preservation and protection of capital; (ii) distribution of cash flow generated by the Partnership’s leases; (iii) capital appreciation of the Partnership’s properties; (iv) generation of increased income and protection against inflation through contractual escalation of base rents or participation in gross revenues of tenants of the Partnership’s properties; and (v) deferred taxation of cash distributions to the limited partners.

Allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions from operations and cash distributions from sale or refinancing are made pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Profits and losses from operations are allocated among the limited partners based upon the number of Units owned.

Net income per limited partnership interest is calculated using the weighted average number of limited partnership Units outstanding during the period and the limited partners’ allocable share of the net income.

Distributions per limited partnership Unit is calculated using the actual distributions disbursed during the period to the weighted average number of limited partnership Units during the period. Actual individual limited partner distributions realized may vary from this calculation as a result of a variety of factors including: (i) actual distributions are computed based on quarterly operating

7

results and outstanding limited partnership units, which are disbursed in the subsequent quarter; (ii) certain limited partners have elected to receive monthly distributions versus quarterly distributions which creates timing differences between comparative calculations, (iii) the calculation ignores the timing of repurchases, and (iv) liquidating distributions are determined based on the tax account balances of the partners per the Partnership agreement.

In November 2004, the limited partners approved a plan to liquidate the Partnership and dispose of all the assets of the Partnership. With this approval, the Partnership commenced activities to liquidate and dispose of the assets of the Partnership, which activities included entering into an exclusive listing agreement with a third party to oversee the marketing and offering for sale of all the real estate assets and equipment leases and loans on behalf of the Partnership. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived-Assets” (“FAS 144”), as a result of the approval of this plan, as of December 31, 2004 all assets, excluding cash were previously classified as Assets Held for Sale, and the results of the operations for these Assets Held for Sale were previously classified as discontinued operations for all years presented, since the operations are directly related to the assets held for sale. Depreciation of real estate assets ceased at that time. The real property in Enid, Oklahoma owned by the Partnership as of December 31, 2005 which was not disposed of within one year from the initial held for sale designation had previously been reclassified to investment in operating leases, and the respective results of operations had been presented within continuing operations for all periods presented in accordance with FAS 144. Also, in accordance with FAS 144, the partnership recognized depreciation expense of $22,121 for this asset for the year ended December 31, 2005 in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cumulatively catch-up depreciation since its cessation in December 2004 upon reclassification of this asset. On November 6, 2006, the Partnership sold this property and the related lease for a purchase price of approximately $1.08 million. There were no debt retirement costs associated with the disposition of this property. In accordance with FAS 144, this property has been reclassified to Assets Held for Sale as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. It is anticipated that the Partnership will make its final liquidating distribution to the limited partners by December 31, 2006.

On January 3, 2006, the Partnership sold the property located in Ewing, New Jersey and the related lease for net sale proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. There were no debt retirement costs associated with the disposition of this property.

The balance sheet of the Partnership as of September 30, 2006, the statements of discontinued operations and cash flows for the periods ending September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the statement of changes in partners’ capital for the period ending September 30, 2006 have not been audited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Partnership for the periods then ended. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, the Partnership’s remaining real asset is the real estate property located in Enid, Oklahoma and the related lease to Hollywood Video. An indicator of impairment existed in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as the Partnership intended to sell the asset before the end of its estimated useful life. Additionally, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying value. As such, in order to facilitate the sale of this property and conclude the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership, the general partner obtained a third party appraisal of this property. The appraisal value as of July 9, 2006 was estimated to be $850,000. Based on this appraisal, the Partnership reduced the fair value of the property by $34,978 as of June 30, 2006. On November 6, 2006, the Partnership sold this property and the related lease for a purchase price of approximately $1.08 million.

3. NOTES PAYABLE:

In November 1998, the Partnership entered into a $6.2 million term note. The note had a ten-year term, was collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases which had a carrying value of approximately $7.6 million, and bore interest at a rate of 8.37% per annum. In September 2003, the Partnership defeased approximately $1,979,000 of this notes payable with proceeds from the sale of a property. The Partnership incurred approximately $481,000 of yield maintenance costs and $49,000 of professional fees related to the defeasance. In June 2005, the Partnership defeased the remaining amounts payable under this note using the proceeds from the sale of nine properties. The Partnership incurred approximately $539,000 of yield maintenance costs and $35,000 of professional fees in connection with the June 2005 defeasance of this note.

In March 1999, the Partnership entered into an additional $2.0 million term note. The note had a ten-year term, was collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases which had a carrying value of approximately $3.7 million, and bore interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum. In June 2005, the Partnership defeased the remaining amounts payable under this note using the proceeds from the sale of nine properties. The Partnership incurred approximately $295,000 of yield maintenance costs and $36,000 of professional fees in connection with the defeasance of this note

The Partnership has no further obligations related to any of its notes payable.

Debt issuance costs of $477,909 in the aggregate were incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes and were being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the ten-year term of the notes. Upon the defeasance and prepayment of the notes payable in June 2005, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the debt that was prepaid were expensed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, total operating revenue was approximately $33,000 compared to approximately $93,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Rental revenue from operating leases for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $33,000 compared to approximately $92,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, due to the sale of one property in September 2005 and one property in January 2006. There was no earned income from financing leases for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $1,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of the amortization of the principal balances on the financing leases, and the prepayment of one financing lease in August 2005.

Operating expenses were approximately $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to approximately $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Partnership recognized $5,530 and $0 of depreciation expense in the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for investment in operating leases. The Partnership recognized $22,121 of depreciation expense for the investment in the Enid, Oklahoma operating lease in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cumulatively catch-up depreciation on this asset that was reclassified from held for sale in accordance with FAS 144. In accordance with FAS 144, the Partnership had ceased depreciation on all assets classified as Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 2004, with the expectation of disposal of all assets within one year. This property was reclassified back to held for sale on September 30, 2006 due to the subsequent sale of this property on November 6, 2006.

Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $7,000 compared to approximately $578,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. One property was sold in September 2005 for net cash of approximately $1,764,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $526,000. There were no real estate properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2006. One equipment lease was sold for book value during the three months ended September 30, 2005 for net cash proceeds of approximately $26,300. There was no such income for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 includes interest and other income of approximately $7,000 and $52,000, respectively. Interest income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year due to interest income earned on cash proceeds from the sale of assets, primarily in June 2005.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership’s net income was approximately $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net income of approximately $627,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Nine months ended September 30, 2006

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total operating revenue was approximately $99,000 compared to approximately $873,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Rental revenue from operating leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $99,000 compared to approximately $865,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to the sale of nine properties in June 2005, one property in September 2005 and one property in January 2006. There was no earned income from financing leases for

10

the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of the amortization of the principal balances on the financing leases, and the prepayment of one financing lease in August 2005.

Operating expenses were approximately $199,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to approximately $387,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is due primarily to interest expense of $0 and approximately $232,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the prepayment of all of the Partnership’s debt resulting from the sale of nine properties in June 2005. The decrease is offset by approximately $35,000 of provision for impaired operating lease charge recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the Partnership recognized approximately $17,000 and $0 of depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for investment in operating leases. The Partnership recognized $22,121 of depreciation expense for investment in operating leases in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cumulatively catch-up depreciation on the Enid, Oklahoma asset, when the asset was reclassified from held for sale in accordance with FAS 144. In accordance with FAS 144, the Partnership had ceased depreciation on all assets classified as Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 2004, with the expectation of disposal of all assets within one year. This property was reclassified back to held for sale on September 30, 2006 due to the subsequent sale of this property on November 6, 2006.

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $470,000 compared to approximately $4,105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. On January 3, 2006, the Partnership sold the property located in Ewing, New Jersey and the related lease for net sale proceeds of approximately $1.6 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $429,000. There were no debt retirement costs associated with the disposition of this property. Two equipment leases were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 for net cash proceeds of approximately $102,000 resulting in a net loss of approximately $1,000. Nine properties were sold in June 2005 for net cash, prior to repayment of debt and related debt retirement costs, of approximately $15,230,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $4,431,000. One property was sold in September 2005 for net cash of $1,764,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $526,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, there were approximately $905,000 of debt retirement costs associated with the disposition of the nine properties in June 2005. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 includes interest and other income of approximately $41,000 and $54,000, respectively. Interest income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year due to interest income earned on cash proceeds from the sale of assets, primarily in June 2005.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership’s net income was approximately $371,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net income of approximately $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

In November 1998, the Partnership entered into a $6.2 million term note. The note had a ten-year term, was collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases which had a carrying value of approximately $7.6 million, and bore interest at a rate of 8.37% per annum. In September 2003, the Partnership defeased approximately $1,979,000 of this notes payable with proceeds from the sale of a property. The Partnership incurred approximately $481,000 of yield maintenance costs and $49,000 of professional fees related to the defeasance. In June 2005, the Partnership

defeased the remaining amounts payable under this note using the proceeds from the sale of nine properties. The Partnership incurred approximately $539,000 of yield maintenance costs and $35,000 of professional fees in connection with the June 2005 defeasance of this note.

In March 1999, the Partnership entered into an additional $2.0 million term note. The note had a ten-year term, was collateralized by certain properties subject to operating leases which had a carrying value of approximately $3.7 million, and bore interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum. In June 2005, the Partnership defeased the remaining amounts payable under this note using the proceeds from the sale of nine properties. The Partnership incurred approximately $295,000 of yield maintenance costs and $36,000 of professional fees in connection with the defeasance of this note

The Partnership has no further obligations related to any of its notes payable.

Debt issuance costs of $477,909 in the aggregate were incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes and were being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the ten-year term of the notes. Upon the defeasance and prepayment of the notes payable in June 2005, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the debt that was prepaid were expensed.

As of September 30, 2006, the Partnership had invested $1.1 million in one net leased real estate property. As of September 30, 2006, the Partnership has not made any commitments to purchase additional properties or equipment, nor does it intend to make any such commitments.

The Partnership annually considers written requests to repurchase Units pursuant to the terms of the repurchase plan set forth in the Partnership’s prospectus with respect to the Offering. Since 1997, a total of 367 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership. The Partnership is not obligated to accept Unit repurchase requests if the General Partner determines that such purchases would impair the capital or operation of the Partnership and the Partnership may suspend or cancel the Repurchase Plan at any time in its sole discretion. In connection with the announcement of the Partnership’s liquidation plans, the General Partner has indefinitely suspended the Repurchase Plan.

The Partnership expects that only limited amounts of liquid assets will be required for its existing property since the property lease requires the tenant to pay all taxes and assessments, maintenance and repairs and insurance premiums, including casualty insurance thereby minimizing the Partnership’s operating expenses and capital requirements. The General Partner expects that the cash flow to be generated by the Partnership’s property will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to pay operating expenses and provide distributions to the limited partners.

Effective November 8, 2004, the limited partners consented to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, which involves the dissolution of the Partnership, the liquidation of its assets and the winding up of its affairs. As a result, the general partner was authorized to liquidate the assets of the Partnership and distribute the net proceeds from such liquidation after the repayment of all debt in accordance with the partnership agreement. The Partnership is undertaking steps to liquidate and dispose of its assets in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. On November 6, 2006, the Partnership sold the last real property and the related lease for a purchase price of approximately $1.08 million. It is anticipated that the Partnership will make its final liquidating distribution to the limited partners by December 31, 2006.
