These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's financial statements. NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- Copley Realty Income Partners 3; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real properties. It commenced operations in October 1988, and acquired the three real estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1989. It intends to dispose of its investments within nine years of their acquisition, and then liquidate. NOTE 2 - PROPERTY - ----------------- Effective January 1, 1996, the South Bay/CRIP 3 Associates joint venture was restructured and the venture partner's ownership interest was assigned 99% to the Partnership, and 1% to an affiliate of the Partnership. Accordingly, as of this date, the investment is being accounted for as a wholly-owned property. The carrying value of the joint venture investment at conversion ($4,180,704) was allocated to land, building and improvements, and other net operating assets. The following is a summary of the Partnership's two investments in wholly- owned property: March 31, 1997 December 31, 1996 -------------- ----------------- Land $ 5,771,144 $ 5,771,144 Building and improvements 9,601,263 9,601,263 Accumulated depreciation (1,848,699) (1,758,213) Investment valuation allowance (2,400,000) (2,400,000) Deferred costs, net 424,407 445,638 Other net assets (liabilities) 127,195 129,395 ------------ --------------- Net carrying value $ 11,675,310 $ 11,789,227 ============ =============== The net carrying value at March 31, 1997 was comprised of Brea West and South Bay at $7,474,859 and $4,200,451, respectively.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were made on April 24, 1997 in the amount of $453,703 ($16.25 per limited partnership unit). Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - ----------------------------------------------------------- and Results of Operations - ------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership interest in June 1989 and a total of 27,641 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $24,458,317, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related acquisition costs, or are being retained as working capital reserves. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had $2,405,943 in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, of which $453,703 was used for cash distributions to partners on April 24, 1997; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's real estate and short- term investments. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first quarter of 1996 were made at the annualized rate of 6.0% on a capital contribution of $1,000 per unit. The annualized distribution rate for the first quarter of 1997 was 6.5%. The increase in the distribution rate this quarter is the result of increased cash flow from Shasta Way. The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements at March 31, 1997 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated costs of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At March 31, 1997, the aggregate appraised value of the Partnership's investments was approximately $2,300,000 greater than their aggregate carrying value. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been estimated by the managing general partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace. Results of Operations Form of Real Estate Investments The Brea West and South Bay investments are wholly-owned properties. The South Bay investment was structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm. Effective January 1, 1996, however, the venture was restructured and the venture partner's ownership interest was assigned to the Partnership and to an affiliate of the Partnership. Accordingly, as of that date, this investment has been accounted for as a wholly-owned property. The Shasta Way investment had been structured as a joint venture with a real estate management/development firm and an affiliate of the Partnership. As of January 1, 1996, the ownership was restructured, and the management/development firm's interest was assigned to the Partnership and its affiliate in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The Partnership's ownership percentage increased to 58%. Operating Factors The South Bay property is 100% leased to a single tenant through September, 2001. During 1994, the managing general partner determined that the Partnership will likely not recover the carrying value of this investment over the projected holding period. Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced to estimated net realizable value, with a charge to operations of $2,400,000. The Brea West and the Shasta Way properties are also 100% leased to single tenants under long-term leases. Investment Results Interest earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments for the first quarter of 1997 increased by approximately $2,000, or 9%, as compared to the same period in 1996 due to higher average invested balances. Total real estate operations decreased by approximately $29,000, or 9%, for the first three months of 1997 as compared to the comparable period of 1996. Each of the three properties contributed to the decline. Net income decreased by approximately $39,000 between the first three months of 1996 and 1997, while cash provided by operations increased by approximately $78,000. The difference is primarily due to the timing of cash distributions from Shasta Way. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, printing, accounting and servicing agent fees. These expenses increased approximately $9,000, or 34% between the first three months of 1996 and 1997, primarily due to an increase in accounting fees. The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as determined by the managing general partner. Management fees increased between the two three-month periods due to the increase in distributable cash flow.
