As such, these financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1994 Annual Report.

Beginning July 1, 1994, the General Partner initiated the liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"). Accordingly, the financial statements herein for the three months ended March 31, 1995 have been prepared on a liquidation basis of accounting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Partnership's net assets in liquidation at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, its changes in net assets in liquidation for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 have been made and are reflected.

AMERICAN INCOME 3 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview On July 1, 1994, the General Partner initiated the liquidation of the Partnership. The Partnership was organized in 1986 to acquire and lease a diversified portfolio of capital equipment to third-party lessees and to distribute the net proceeds from operating and remarketing activities, after satisfaction of all expenses and debt service obligations, to the Partners. The Partnership was capitalized with $20,221,250 of equity from the Limited Partners and $50,000 of equity from the General Partner and acquired $34,595,921 of equipment, subject to related indebtedness. All of the Partnership's equipment has been sold. Dissolution of the Partnership is expected in 1995. Results of Operations The Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation is presented for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and reflects the liquidation of assets during the period. As a result, a comparison between current and prior year reporting periods is not meaningful. For the period ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership recognized $5,549 of interest income generated from the temporary investment of excess cash. Operating expenses consisted principally of administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing and distribution expenses. These charges amounted to $16,834 during the period ended March 31, 1995. The Partnership will continue to to incur distribution, accounting and administrative costs until the Partnership is dissolved. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership will have limited cash activities for the remainder of its existence. Prior to its dissolution, cash transactions are expected to result from the receipt of interest income on short-term investments, the payment of operating expenses, discussed above, and the payment of distributions to the Partners. At March 31, 1995, the Partnership had $399,695 of cash, substantially all of which was invested in interest-bearing investments. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership declared total distributions of $204,255. In accordance with the Restated Agreement, as amended, the Limited Partners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or $202,212 and the General Partner was allocated 1%, or $2,043. The first quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on April 14, 1995. Since inception, the Partnership has distributed $21,002,832 to the Limited Partners and $212,150 to the General Partner. Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return of and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment will be determined coincident with the final cash distribution payment to the Partners.
