A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations, its cash flows and partners' capital (deficit) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1998 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. The Partnership commenced operations in October 1988, and acquired its real estate investments prior to 1989. The Partnership sold its last remaining investment in August 1999 and, therefore, intends to liquidate and dissolve in 2000. NOTE 2 - PROPERTY - ----------------- On June 25, 1999, the Partnership sold the Brea West building for a gross sale price of $8,530,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of $8,381,091 after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $1,118,340 ($40.05 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. On July 29, 1999 the Partnership made a capital distribution of $8,126,454 ($294.00 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. At the time of sale, a disposition fee of $255,900 was accrued but not paid to the Advisor. This fee was subsequently reversed in conjunction with the sale of the Partnership's last remaining investment (see Note 3) since the limited partners did not receive a return of their capital contributions from the sale of the Partnership's investments.

The Partnership received its 58% share of the net proceeds, $7,463,388 after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $2,710,344 ($97.07 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. On September 22, 1999 the Partnership made a capital distribution of $7,297,224 ($264.00 per limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale.

In addition, distributions from operating cash flows previously held in reserves were made in the aggregate amount of $458,450 ($16.42 per limited partnership unit). COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 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. On July 24, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,528,200 ($200 per limited partnership unit) from the sale of the South Bay property. This distribution reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $800 per unit. On July 29, 1999, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $8,126,454 ($294 per limited partnership unit) from the sale of the Brea West property. This distribution reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $506 per unit. On September 22, 1999, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $7,297,224 ($264.00 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of the Shasta Way property. This distribution reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $242 per unit. At September 30, 1999, the Partnership had $2,325,325 in cash and cash equivalents of which $696,889 was used for cash distributions to the partners on October 28, 1999; the remainder is being retained primarily as a reserve in the event of any claims for breach of representations or warranties in connection with the sales of Brea West and Shasta Way and for working capital reserves. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first three quarters of 1998 were made at the annualized rate of 6.5% based on the adjusted capital contribution of $800 per unit. Cash distributions from operations related to the first two quarters of 1999 were made at the annualized rate of 5.0% on the adjusted capital contribution of $800 per unit. Cash distributions related to the third quarter of 1999 were made at an annualized rate of 6.0% on the weighted average capital contribution of $569.65 per unit. The increase in the distribution rate was due to higher cash receipts from the Shasta Way joint venture due to a later than anticipated sale date. Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - ------------------------------ The Year 2000 Issue is a result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal business operations. 11 COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - (Continued) - -------------------------------------------- The Partnership relies on AEW Capital Management L.P. ("AEW Capital Management"), the parent of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc., to generate financial information and to provide other services which are dependent on the use of computers. The Partnership has obtained assurances from AEW Capital Management that: . AEW Capital Management has developed a Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan") consisting of five phases: inventory, assessment, testing, remediation/repair and certification. . As of September 30, 1998, AEW Capital Management had completed the inventory and assessment phases of this Plan and had commenced the testing and remediation/repair of internal systems. . AEW Capital Management concluded the internal testing, remediation/repair and certifications of its Plan in June 1999. . AEW Capital Management successfully participated in industry-wide testing in August 1999. . AEW Capital Management believes it is ready for Year 2000. AEW Capital Management has advised the Partnership that being ready means that AEW Capital Management has tested its internal mission critical systems and software applications, and based upon testing conducted, AEW Capital Management believes that such systems and applications are prepared to process dates correctly through the Year 2000. Based upon these assurances, the Partnership has determined that it is not necessary for it to develop a Year 2000 contingency plan. Because the Partnership has sold all of its real property investments, the Partnership no longer relies on joint venture partners and/or property managers to supply financial and other data with respect to its real properties with the exception of year-end audited statements. Consequently, the Partnership does not have any material provider of data other than AEW Capital Management. The Partnership is subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility or transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures and related service interruptions. Given the nature of its operations, the Partnership will not incur any costs associated with Year 2000 compliance. All such costs are borne by AEW Capital Management. Results of Operations - --------------------- Investment Results Real estate operations were $59,240 and $627,242 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to $233,933 and $700,324 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1998. Real estate operations decreased $174,693 and $73,082 between the three and nine month periods, respectively. These decreases are due to both the sale of Brea West in June 1999 and the sale of Shasta Way in August 1999. The overall nine month decrease, however, was partially offset by a rental increase at Shasta Way in June 1998. COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Interest on cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $36,000 and $25,000 between the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, compared with the same periods in 1998. The increases are primarily attributable to higher average investment balances from the sales proceeds of Brea West and Shasta Way in 1999 prior to the distribution of such proceeds. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, printing, accounting and servicing agent fees. These expenses decreased by $1,124 and $6,634 between the comparable three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1999 and 1998. The decreases are primarily due to lower overall expenses due to the sales during 1999 of the Partnership's last two investments. 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 by $33,026 and $16,458, respectively, between the comparable three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1999 and 1998. The increases are a result of a special distribution from operating cash flows previously held in reserves in the third quarter of 1999 which were offset by lower fees generated by the decrease in regular operating distributions during the nine month period in 1999 as a result of less distributable operating cash due to the sales of the Partnership's last two investments. 13 COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3; A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-Q FOR QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Items 1-5 Not Applicable Item 6.
