PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General Development of Business
AMERICAN INCOME 3 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") was organized
as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act
(the "Uniform Act") on December 30, 1983 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners'
capital initially consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner
(AFG Leasing Associates) and $99 from the Initial Limited Partner. The sole
General Partner of the Partnership is wholly-owned by American Finance Group
("AFG" or the "Manager") a Massachusetts partnership. On December 17, 1985, the
Partnership issued 80,885 limited partnership units (the "Units") to 1,663
investors, including four Units purchased by the Initial Limited Partner. The
General Partner contributed $50,000 in consideration of its general partner
interest.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Partnership was engaged in only one industry segment: the business
of acquiring capital equipment and leasing the equipment to creditworthy lessees
on a full payout or operating lease basis. (Full payout leases are those in
which aggregate noncancellable rents equal or exceed the Purchase Price of the
leased equipment. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate
noncancellable rental payments are less than the Purchase Price of the leased
equipment.) Industry segment data is not applicable.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of
capital equipment subject to various full payout and operating leases and to
lease the equipment to third parties as income-producing investments. More
specifically, the Partnership's primary investment objectives were to acquire
and lease equipment which would:
1. Generate quarterly cash distributions; and
2. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale.
The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain
federal income tax benefits.
The Closing Date of the Offering of Units of the Partnership was
December 17, 1985. The initial purchase of equipment and the associated lease
commitments occurred on December 17, 1985. The Partnership completed the
disposition of its equipment portfolio in 1994 and dissolution of the
Partnership occurred on December 29, 1995.
The Partnership had no employees; however, it entered into a Management
Agreement with the Manager coincident with the commencement of operations. The
Manager's role, among other things, was to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and
consummate the acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing,
financing, and refinancing of equipment, and (iii) arrange the resale of
equipment. The Manager was compensated for such services as described in the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"), Item 13, herein and in Note
4 to the financial statements, included in Item 14, herein.
The Partnership's investment in equipment was subject to various risks,
including physical deterioration, technological obsolescence and defaults by
lessees. A principal business risk of owning and leasing equipment is the
possibility that aggregate lease revenue and equipment sale proceeds will be
insufficient to provide an acceptable rate of return on invested capital after
payment of all debt service costs and operating expenses. Consequently, the
success of the Partnership was largely dependent upon the ability of the General
Partner and its Affiliates to forecast technological advances, the ability of
the lessees to fulfill their lease obligations and the quality and marketability
of the equipment at the time of sale.
Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 2 to the financial statements in the
1995 Annual Report. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
AFG is a successor to the business of American Finance Group, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally Geoffrey A. MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of
AFG, established AFG Holdings (Massachusetts) Limited Partnership ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings Massachusetts
effected this event by acquiring all of the equity interests of AFG's two
partners, AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership ("Holdings Illinois") and
AFG Corporation. Holdings Massachusetts incurred significant indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.
On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings Massachusetts (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG Corporation and sold all such interests to GDE Acquisitions Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle, President and member of the Executive Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets, rights and obligations of AFG from the Senior Lender and assumed
control of AFG. Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales
Not applicable.
Item 2. Properties.
None.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder
Matters.
(a) Market Information
There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.
(b) Approximate Number of Security Holders
At December 31, 1995, there were no recordholders of Units in the
Partnership.
(c) Dividend History and Restrictions
Pursuant to Article VI of the Restated Agreement, as amended, the
Partnership's Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings was determined and distributed to the Partners quarterly.
Distributions in 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
General Limited
Total Partner Partners
Total 1995 distributions $ 204,255 $ 2,043 $ 202,212
Total 1994 distributions 1,991,486 19,915 1,971,571
------------- ------------- -------------
Total $ 2,195,741 $ 21,958 $ 2,173,783
============ ============== ============
Distributions payable at December 31, 1994 were $204,255.
There were no distributions payable at December 31, 1995.
"Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current liabilities
of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent deemed
reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves
deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations and
reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout,
further reduced by all accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
Distributable Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings.
"Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts realized from any loss or destruction
of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar
equipment for the remainder of the original lease term of the lost or destroyed
equipment, or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner
determines that investment of such proceeds will significantly improve the
diversity of the Partnership's equipment portfolio, and subject in either case
to satisfaction of all existing indebtedness secured by such equipment to the
extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner, and (b) the
proceeds from the sale of an interest in equipment pursuant to any agreement
governing a joint venture which the General Partner determines will be invested
in additional equipment or interests in equipment and which ultimately are so
reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after
Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.
"Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from sale or refinancing transactions, as reduced by (i)(a) all debts and
liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of sale or
refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any
liabilities on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and
any remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees whether or
not then due and payable) and (b) any reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by
the General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by
the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations. In the event
the Partnership accepts a note in connection with any sale or refinancing
transaction, all payments subsequently received in cash by the Partnership with
respect to such note shall be included in Cash From Sales or Refinancings,
regardless of the treatment of such payments by the Partnership for tax or
accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives purchase money obligations in
payment for equipment sold, which are secured by liens on such equipment, the
amount of such obligations shall not be included in Cash From Sales or
Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.
Each distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings of the Partnership shall be made
99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner before Payout and 85%
to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partner after Payout.
"Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Limited Partners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual return
of 12% (compounded daily and calculated beginning with the last day of the month
of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate unreturned capital
contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital contributions shall be
deemed to have been returned only to the extent that distributions of cash to
the Limited Partners exceed the amount required to satisfy the cumulative annual
return of 12% (compounded daily) on the Limited Partners' aggregate unreturned
capital contributions, such calculation to be based on the aggregate unreturned
capital contributions outstanding on the first day of each fiscal quarter. The
Partnership did not achieve Payout.
Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings ("Distributions") were distributed within 60 days after the
completion of each quarter, beginning with the first full fiscal quarter
following the Partnership's Closing Date. The Partnership has distributed
$21,002,832 to the Limited Partners and $212,150 to the General Partner since
inception. Substantially all of the distributions to the Limited Partners
represent a return of capital.
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 has the additional benefit of terminating the
Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. The General Partner
transferred $100,000 on September 29, 1995, representing a liquidating
distribution, into a non-interest bearing custodian account (the "Account") of
the Trust. The remainder of the Partnership's operating cash of $65,590 was
transferred into the Trust Account on December 29, 1995. The transferred amount
included $27,723 of accrued expenses which were paid in 1996. 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.
