                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)   Organization and Partnership Matters

The   foregoing   financial   statements    of
Wellesley Lease Income Limited Partnership III-
A  (the  "Partnership") have been prepared  in
accordance  with the rules and regulations  of
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for
Form  10-Q  and reflect all adjustments  which
are,  in  the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim  periods presented.  Pursuant to  such
rules    and    regulations,   certain    note
disclosures which are normally required  under
generally accepted accounting principles  have
been  omitted.  It is recommended  that  these
financial  statements be read  in  conjunction
with  the Partnership's Annual Report on  Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

During the second quarter of 1995, the General
Partner  announced its intentions  of  winding
down the operations of the Partnership by  the
end   of   1995.    It  is  anticipated   that
substantially  all  of  the  assets  will   be
liquidated  and the proceeds will be  used  to
settle all outstanding liabilities and make  a
final distribution.

(2)   Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The  financial  statements include  allowances
for  estimated losses on receivable  balances.
The allowances for doubtful accounts are based
on past write off experience and an evaluation
of potential uncollectible accounts within the
current   receivable   balances.    Receivable
balances   which   are   determined   to    be
uncollectible   are   charged   against    the
allowance and subsequent recoveries,  if  any,
are  credited to the allowance.  At  June  30,
1995 and December 31, 1994, the allowance  for
doubtful accounts included in rents receivable
was  $1,169  and  $13,268, respectively.   The
allowance  for doubtful accounts  included  in
accounts  receivable - affiliates was  $19,491
at  June  30,  1995  and  December  31,  1994,
respectively,  which was related  to  the  net
unsecured pre-petition bankruptcy claim.

Marketable Securities

The  marketable securities consist  of  common
stock   in  Continental  Information   Systems
Corporation received by the Partnership in the
distribution  made December 27,  1994  by  the
Trustee  of  the  Liquidating  Estate  of  CIS
Corporation,  et  al  with  respect   to   the
outstanding net unsecured pre-petition  claim.
During the second quarter of  1995, the  stock
began  trading, thereby providing an objective
valuation  measure for establishing  the  cost
basis which approximates fair market value  at
the balance sheet date.

Reclassifications

Certain  prior year financial statement  items
have  been  reclassified to conform  with  the
current     year's     financial     statement
presentation.

(3)   Investment Property

At   June  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  owned
computer  equipment  with a  depreciated  cost
basis  of $45,716, subject to existing leases.
All   purchases  of  computer  equipment   are
subject  to a 3% acquisition fee paid  to  the
General Partner.

                                    $  45,471      $  41,379
                                    ========================


Under  the terms of the Partnership Agreement,
the   General  Partner  is  entitled   to   an
equipment  acquisition  fee  of  3%   of   the
purchase price paid by the Partnership for the
equipment.   The  General  Partner   is   also
entitled  to a management fee equal to  7%  of
the  monthly rental billings collected.  Also,
the Partnership reimburses the General Partner
and   its   affiliates  for  certain  expenses
incurred  by  them  in  connection  with   the
operation of the Partnership.

(5)   Subsequent Events

On July 20, 1995, the Partnership received the
second  distribution from the Trustee  of  the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et  al,
with respect to the net unsecured pre-petition
claim.   The  distribution consisted  of  cash
proceeds  of $15,287 and 985 shares of  common
stock   in  Continental  Information   Systems
Corporation with a carrying value  of  $2,463.
The  cash and stock will be reflected  in  the
financial statements for the third quarter  of
1995.     Following   the   Trustee's   second
distribution, the Partnership's net  unsecured
pre-petition claim has been settled as of July
20,  1995  and there are no other  outstanding
receivable balances.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

The    following   discussion    relates    to
Partnership operations for the quarter and for
the   six  months  ended  June  30,  1995   in
comparison  to the same periods in  the  prior
year.

The Partnership realized a net loss of $21,142
and  net  income of $107,314 for the  quarters
ended  June  30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.
Rental   income  decreased  $68,500   or   58%
primarily  due to lower rental rates  obtained
on equipment lease extensions and remarketings
resulting after the initial lease term expires
and  due  to  a  substantial decrease  in  the
overall   size  of  the  equipment  portfolio.
Interest income increased in 1995 as a  result
of   higher   average  short-term   investment
balances.  The recovery of net unsecured  pre-
petition   claim  was  the   result   of   the
establishment  of the carrying  value  of  the
stock  received  in  the  December  27,   1994
distribution   from   the   Trustee   of   the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et  al.
The  receivables  associated  with  the  stock
settlement had been fully reserved in a  prior
year;   accordingly, the Partnership was  able
to  show a recovery on those receivables as of
June 30, 1995 at which time an objective stock
value  could be determined due to the  stock's
trading activities.

Total  costs and expenses increased  primarily
due  to  the  $57,488  net  loss  on  sale  of
equipment realized for the quarter ended  June
30, 1995 versus a $59,236 net gain realized in
the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  The net loss
on  sale of equipment was primarily due to the
result  of the sale of installed equipment  on
lease   to  American  Telephone  &  Telegraph,
Incorporated,  having a high net  book  value.
The   reversal   of  provision  for   doubtful
accounts   during  the  current  quarter   was
generated  from successful collection  efforts
on  delinquent rents receivable.  Depreciation
expense  decreased  between  the  three  month
periods  due  to  a portion of  the  equipment
portfolio    becoming    fully    depreciated.
Management    fees   expense   decreased    in
correlation  with  the  reduction  in   rental
income.   The  reversal  of  interest  expense
resulted   from  an  overaccrual  of  interest
expense  made  in the first quarter  of  1995.
General and administrative expenses were lower
in 1994 due to the receipt of a refund related
to  a sales tax audit assessment that was paid
in   1990   and   included  in   general   and
administrative expenses at that time.

The Partnership realized net income of $30,864
and $139,181 for the six months ended June 30,
1995  and 1994, respectively.  The Partnership
realized rental income of $97,564 and $225,500
for  the  six months ended June 30,  1995  and
1994,  respectively.   As  discussed  in   the
quarter  analysis above, the 57%  decrease  in
rental  income between 1995 and  1994  can  be
attributed  to  the re-lease of  equipment  at
lower   rental  rates  and  to   the   overall
reduction  of  the equipment  portfolio.   The
increase  in interest income between 1995  and
1994 can be attributed to higher average short-
term investment balances.  The recovery of net
unsecured pre-petition claim was the result of
the establishment of the carrying value of the
stock  received  in  the  December  27,   1994
distribution   from   the   Trustee   of   the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et  al,
as    mentioned   above.    The    receivables
associated with the stock settlement had  been
fully  reserved in a prior year;  accordingly,
the Partnership was able to show a recovery on
those receivables as of June 30, 1995 at which
time   an  objective  stock  value  could   be
determined   due   to  the   stock's   trading
activities, as mentioned above.

Total  costs and expenses decreased 2% between
the  six  month periods.  As discussed  above,
the  slight decrease in costs and expenses  is
primarily due to a $78,404 net gain on sale of
equipment recognized for the period ended June
30,  1994 versus a current period net loss  of
$3,473  and also due to lower depreciation  of
$70,721.   Depreciation expense decreased  58%
between  the six month periods due to a  large
portion  of  the equipment portfolio  becoming
fully depreciated and an overall reduction  of
the  Partnership's equipment  portfolio.   The
reversal  of  provision for doubtful  accounts
was  generated  due  to successful  collection
efforts  on delinquent accounts, as  discussed
above.    

(Page 9)

For the six months ended June  30,  1995,  the
decrease in management fees expense reflects a
decline   in   rental  income.   General   and
administrative expenses were lower in 1994 due
to  the receipt of a refund related to a sales
tax audit assessment that was paid in 1990 and
included   in   general   and   administrative
expenses at that time.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and the
six   months   ended  June   30,   1995,   the
Partnership  allocated  profits   and   losses
resulting  in $(0.39) and $(0.31) per  Limited
Partnership    Unit,    respectively.      The
allocation for the six months ended  June  30,
1995  includes  a cost recovery allocation  of
profit  and loss among the General and Limited
Partners which results in an allocation of net
loss  to  the Limited Partners in  the  second
quarter   of   1995.    This   cost   recovery
allocation  is  required to  maintain  capital
accounts   consistent  with  the  distribution
provisions  of the Partnership Agreement.   In
certain  periods, the cost recovery allocation
of profit and loss may result in an allocation
of   net  loss  to  the  Limited  Partners  in
instances  when  the Partnership's  operations
were profitable for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, rental
revenue  generated from operating  leases  and
equipment  sale  proceeds  were  the   primary
source  of  funds  for  the  Partnership.   As
equipment   leases  terminate,   the   General
Partner  determines if the equipment  will  be
extended  to  the same lessee,  remarketed  to
another  lessee, or if it is less  marketable,
sold.   This  decision is made upon  analyzing
which option would generate the most favorable
results.

Rental income will continue to decrease due to
two  factors.  The first factor  is  the  rate
obtained  when the original leases expire  and
are  remarketed  at a lower rate.   Typically,
the  remarketed  rates are lower  due  to  the
decrease  in  useful life  of  the  equipment.
Secondly,  the increasing change of technology
in the computer industry usually decreases the
demand  for  older equipment, thus  increasing
the  possibility  of  obsolescence.   Both  of
these  factors together will cause  remarketed
rates to be lower than original rates and will
cause   certain   leases  to  terminate   upon
expiration.

During the second quarter of 1995, the General
Partner  announced its intentions  of  winding
down the operations of the Partnership by  the
end   of   1995.    It  is  anticipated   that
substantially  all  of  the  assets  will   be
liquidated  and the proceeds will be  used  to
settle all outstanding liabilities and to make
a final distribution.

In   the   first  six  months  of  1995,   the
Partnership's investing activities resulted in
equipment sales with a depreciated cost  basis
of  $77,495,  generating $74,022 in  proceeds.
The   Partnership  has  no  material   capital
expenditure commitments and will not  purchase
equipment in the future as the Partnership has
reached the end of its reinvestment period and
has  announced its intentions of winding  down
the Partnership by the end of 1995.

Cash  distributions are currently at an annual
level  of 4% per Limited Partnership Unit,  or
$5.00  per  Limited  Partnership  Unit  on   a
quarterly  basis.  For the quarter ended  June
30,  1995,  the  Partnership declared  a  cash
distribution of $131,684, of which  $6,584  is
allocated to the General Partner and  $125,100
is  allocated  to the Limited  Partners.   The
distribution will be made on August 28,  1995.
The  Partnership expects distributions  to  be
more  volatile as its operations  are  winding
down.

The   effects  of  inflation  have  not   been
significant  to the Partnership  and  are  not
expected to have any material impact in future
periods.
