Accordingly, the financial statements herein for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and for the period July 1, 1994 to September 30, 1994 have been prepared on a liquidation basis of accounting.

Organization of the Trust will have the additional benefit of terminating the Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. The General Partner transferred $100,000, representing a liquidating distribution, into a non-interest bearing custodian account (the "Account") of the Trust. The remainder of the Partnership's operating cash, after settlement of all accrued liabilities, expected to be approximately $46,500 or $0.57 per limited partnership unit, will be transferred into the Account on or near the Partnership's dissolution date in the fourth quarter of 1995. Amounts held in the Trust will be reserved for a period not to exceed seven years (or such shorter time as counsel for the Partnership advises will be sufficient to assure that all claims against the Partnership have been presented). To the extent that the balance of the Account exceeds the ultimate liabilities of the Partnership, the Trustee will distribute such remaining balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust Account, which beneficiaries will consist of the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective percentage ownership interests in the Partnership as of the dissolution date. 12 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 was sold by the end of 1994. Dissolution of the Partnership was initiated on October 31, 1995 through the creation of a Liquidating Trust described in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements. Results of Operations The Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation is presented for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and for the period July 1, 1994 to September 30, 1994 and reflects the liquidation of assets during the period. Accordingly, a comparison between current and prior year reporting periods is not meaningful and is not presented. For the period ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized $10,663 of interest income generated from the temporary investment of cash. Operating expenses paid or accrued 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 $57,714 during the period ended September 30, 1995. The Partnership has accrued for operating expenses anticipated through its dissolution date. 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 and the payment of operating expenses, discussed above. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership had $70,023 of cash, substantially all of which was invested in interest-bearing investments. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein. On October 31, 1995, the General Partner as trustee (the "Trustee") executed a Declaration of Trust establishing a Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") to satisfy any unforeseen expenses of the Partnership that may arise after the dissolution date as a result of the Partnership's equipment leasing activities. Organization of the Trust will have the additional benefit of terminating the Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. The General Partner transferred $100,000, representing a liquidating distribution, into a non-interest bearing custodian account (the "Account") of the Trust. The remainder of the Partnership's operating cash after settlement of all accrued liabilities, expected to be approximately $46,500 or $0.57 per limited partnership unit, will be transferred into the Trust Account on or near the Partnership's dissolution date in the fourth quarter of 1995. Amounts held in the Trust Account will be reserved for a period not to exceed seven years (or such shorter time as counsel for the Partnership advises will be sufficient to assure that all claims against the Partnership have been presented). To the extent that the balance of the Trust Account exceeds the ultimate liabilities of the Partnership, the General Partner will distribute such remaining balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust Account, which beneficiaries will consist of the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective percentage ownership interests in the Partnership as of the dissolution date. AMERICAN INCOME 3 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership declared total cash distributions payable to partners 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. Since inception, the Partnership has distributed $21,002,832 to the Limited Partners and $212,150 to the General Partner. Additionally, the Partnership transferred $100,000, representing a liquidating distribution, into the Account of the Trust as described above. The Partnership declared no cash distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and expects to make no further quarterly distributions of cash to its Partners, except as may be available in the Trust Account (described above) at the date of its liquidation. Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return of and a return on capital. Final yield on investment will be determined at the Partnership's dissolution date.
