                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   General

     The accompanying  financial statements,  footnotes and discussion should be
     read in conjunction with the financial  statements and footnotes  contained
     in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1995.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements,  which
     have not been audited,  reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly
     the results for the interim period. All of the adjustments reflected in the
     accompanying interim financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.

2.   Real Estate Investments

     The Partnership  directly owns one operating investment property (Northeast
     Plaza) and has  investments in three joint venture  partnerships  which own
     operating  properties as more fully described in the  Partnership's  Annual
     Report.  The joint  ventures are  accounted  for by using the equity method
     because  the  Partnership  does not have a voting  control  interest in the
     ventures.  Under the equity method, the assets,  liabilities,  revenues and
     expenses of the joint ventures do not appear in the Partnership's financial
     statements.  Instead,  the investments are carried at cost adjusted for the
     Partnership's share of the ventures' earnings, losses and distributions.

     Summarized  operating results of the three joint ventures for the three and
     six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

     During the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1995,  management  began to  actively
     market the Camelot Apartments, in which the Partnership has a joint venture
     interest, for sale. In addition, the Partnership has engaged in preliminary
     discussions with its co-venture partners regarding the possible sale of the
     Partnership's interest in the Camelot joint venture. In accordance with the
     terms of the joint venture  agreement,  the co-venturers  have the right to
     match any third party offer obtained to buy the property. Subsequent to the
     end of  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1996,  the  Partnership  and  the
     co-venture  partners  reached an  agreement to sell the property to a third
     party prospective buyer for $15,150,000. The potential sale will be subject
     to the satisfactory  completion of due diligence by the buyer. As a result,
     there can be no assurances that this sale transaction will be completed. If
     the proposed sale were to close,  the  Partnership's  share of the net sale
     proceeds,  after repayment of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness and the
     co-venture  partners'  share of the  proceeds,  would be  expected to total
     approximately $5.9 million.


3.  Note and Interest Receivable, Net

    Note and  interest  receivable  at March 31,  1996 and  September  30,  1995
    consists of a $3,445,336 note received in connection with the  Partnership's
    sale of its  joint  venture  interest  in the  Briarwood  joint  venture  in
    December of 1984. The note has been netted against deferred gain on the sale
    of a like amount on the Partnership's balance sheet. The note bears interest
    at 9% annually,  matures on January 1, 2000 and is  subordinated  to a first
    mortgage loan.  Interest and principal payments on the note are payable only
    to the extent of net cash flow from the  properties  sold, as defined in the
    sale documents. Any interest not received will accrue additional interest of
    9% per annum. The Partnership's  policy has been to defer recognition of all
    interest  income on the note until  collected due to the  uncertainty of its
    collectibility.  To date,  the  Partnership  has not  received  any interest
    payments.  Per the terms of the note agreement,  accrued interest receivable
    as of March 31, 1996 would be approximately $5,676,000. Since the properties
    securing  the  note  continue  to  generate   operating   deficits  and  the
    Partnership's  note receivable is subordinated to other first mortgage debt,
    there  is  significant  uncertainty  as to the  collectibility  of both  the
    principal  and  accrued  interest  as of March 31,  1996.  As a result,  the
    portion of the remaining gain to be recognized,  which is represented by the
    note and accrued interest, has been deferred until realized in cash.

4.  Related Party Transactions

    Management  fees  earned  by the  Adviser  totaled  $8,000  for  each of the
    six-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. Accounts payable affiliates
    at March 31, 1996 and  September  30, 1995  consists of $4,000 of management
    fees payable to the Adviser at both dates.

    Included in general and  administrative  expenses  for the six months  ended
    March 31, 1996 and 1995 is $36,000 and $35,000,  respectively,  representing
    reimbursements  to an affiliate of the General Partner for providing certain
    financial,   accounting   and   investor   communication   services  to  the
    Partnership.

5.  Mortgage Note Payable and Contingencies

    The  mortgage  note  payable at March 31,  1996 and  September  30,  1995 is
    secured by the Partnership's  wholly-owned  Northeast Plaza Shopping Center.
    On March 29,  1994,  the  Partnership  refinanced  the  existing  wraparound
    mortgage note secured by Northeast Plaza, which had been in default for over
    two years,  with a new loan issued by the prior  underlying  first  mortgage
    lender.  The new loan, in the initial principal amount of $1,722,000,  has a
    term of five  years  and bears  interest  at a fixed  rate of 9% per  annum.
    Monthly  principal and interest  payments of  approximately  $21,900 are due
    until  maturity  in May 1999.  The loan may be prepaid  at  anytime  without
    penalty.

    Management believes that the Partnership's  efforts to sell or refinance the
    Northeast  Plaza  property  have been impeded by potential  buyer and lender
    concerns of an  environmental  nature with respect to the  property.  During
    1990, it was discovered  that certain  underground  storage tanks of a Mobil
    service  station  located  adjacent  to the  shopping  center had leaked and
    contaminated the groundwater in the vicinity of the station.  Since the time
    that the  contamination  was discovered,  Mobil Oil Corporation  (Mobil) has
    investigated  the problem and is progressing with efforts to remedy the soil
    and  groundwater   contamination   under  the  supervision  of  the  Florida
    Department of Environmental Regulation,  which has approved Mobil's remedial
    action  plan.   During  fiscal  1990,  the   Partnership   had  obtained  an
    indemnification  agreement from Mobil in which Mobil agreed to bear the cost
    of  all  damages  and  required  clean-up   expenses.   Furthermore,   Mobil
    indemnified  the  Partnership  against its inability to sell,  transfer,  or
    obtain financing on the property because of the contamination.

    As a result of the  contamination of the groundwater at Northeast Plaza, the
    Partnership has incurred certain damages, primarily related to the inability
    to sell the  property  and to  delays  in the  process  of  refinancing  the
    property's mortgage  indebtedness.  The Partnership has incurred significant
    out-of-pocket   and  legal  expenses  in  connection   with  such  sale  and
    refinancing  efforts.  Despite  repeated  requests  by the  Partnership  for
    compensation under the terms of the indemnification agreement, to date Mobil
    has refused to compensate the Partnership  for any of these damages.  During
    the first quarter of fiscal 1993, the  Partnership  filed suit against Mobil
    for breach of indemnity and property  damage.  On April 28, 1995,  Mobil Oil
    Corporation  was  successful in obtaining a Partial  Summary  Judgment which
    removed  the  case  from  the  Federal  Court  system.   Subsequently,   the
    Partnership  has filed an action in the  Florida  State Court  system.  This
    action  is for  substantially  all of  the  same  claims  and  utilizes  the
    substantial  discovery and trial  preparation work already completed for the
    Federal case. A jury trial is scheduled for September 23, 1996.  The outcome
    of these legal proceedings cannot presently be determined.

    The  Partnership is involved in certain other legal actions.  At the present
    time,  the General  Partner  cannot  estimate  the impact,  if any, of these
    matters on the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.

            PAINE WEBBER INCOME PROPERTIES THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The average occupancy level at the Camelot Apartments decreased to 89% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996,  down from 91% for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 and 96% for the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1995.  The  capital  improvement
program  implemented at the property in 1994, which included the continuation of
a roof replacement process, combined with improved local market conditions,  has
enabled management to raise rental rates over the past year. Despite the drop in
occupancy, fiscal year to date total revenues have remained relatively stable at
Camelot.  Given the current  strength of the  national  real estate  market with
respect to  multi-family  apartment  properties,  management  began to  actively
market this  property  for sale  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1995.  In
addition,  the  Partnership  has  engaged in  preliminary  discussions  with its
co-venture partners regarding the possible sale of the Partnership's interest in
the Camelot joint  venture.  In  accordance  with the terms of the joint venture
agreement,  the  co-venturers  have the  right to match any  third  party  offer
obtained to buy the property.  Subsequent to the end of the second quarter,  the
Partnership  and the  co-venture  partners  reached  an  agreement  to sell  the
property to a third party prospective  buyer for $5,150,000.  The potential sale
will be subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the buyer. As
a  result,  there  can be no  assurances  that  this  sale  transaction  will be
completed.  If the proposed sale were to close, the  Partnership's  share of the
net sale proceeds,  after repayment of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness and
the  co-venture  partners'  share of the  proceeds,  would be  expected to total
approximately $5.9 million.  The Camelot joint venture has two outstanding first
mortgage loans which had a combined  principal balance of $4,182,000 as of March
31, 1996.  One of these first  mortgage  loans  matured on January 1, 1996.  The
venture has reached an agreement with this lender for an  eight-month  extension
of the maturity  date to  September  1, 1996 in return for a fee of $5,600.  The
venture's  other first mortgage loan is scheduled to mature on July 1, 1997. The
principal  balance of the mortgage loan which matures in fiscal 1996  represents
less than 20% of the total  estimated  market value of the  venture's  operating
investment  property.  In light of the venture's low leverage level, the current
favorable  interest rate  environment and the continued strong supply of capital
for real  estate  lending,  management  expects  to be able to  secure a loan to
refinance this maturing obligation if the sale transaction is not completed.

      The Partnership's three other properties are retail shopping centers,  two
of which are  located  in Florida  and one of which is located in Texas.  At the
present time, real estate values for retail shopping  centers in certain markets
have begun to be adversely  affected by overbuilding  and  consolidations  among
retailers  which have resulted in an oversupply of space.  Currently,  occupancy
levels at all three of the Partnership's retail properties remain fairly strong,
and  operations  to date have not been  significantly  affected by this  general
trend. At the Pine Trail Shopping Center, occupancy increased to 96% as of March
31, 1996, up from 95% as of December 31, 1995.  The Pine Trail property did lose
two tenants  which had occupied  10,000  square feet during the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.  However,  prior to the end of the first quarter,  the leasing team
executed new agreements to re-lease  one-half of this vacated space.  During the
second  quarter,  the  property's  leasing team signed a 3,570 square foot lease
with a restaurant/nightclub,  which will take occupancy in July 1996. In January
1997, a lease with one of the Center's  largest  tenants,  Marshalls,  occupying
30,000 square feet, will expire. In accordance with the terms of the lease, this
tenant  must  give  notice to the  owner by July  1996 if the  tenant  wishes to
exercise its five-year option to renew its current lease. The property's leasing
team is working diligently to retain this tenant.  Capital  improvements planned
for the next quarter  include a roof  replacement on one of the buildings and an
asphalt  overlay  on the  portion  of  the  property's  parking  lot  serving  a
supermarket which is one of the property's anchor tenants.

      Central Plaza Shopping Center ended the second quarter at an 89% occupancy
level,  compared to 96% as of December 31, 1995.  At the beginning of the second
quarter,  one tenant  occupying  6,425  square feet moved out due to poor sales.
Later in the quarter,  the Center lost an eyecare retail tenant  occupying 5,700
square feet,  but this space was  subsequently  re-leased to a similar  retailer
that moved in subsequent  to the end of the second  quarter.  Additionally,  the
property's leasing team is negotiating with three potential new tenants, each of
which is interested in leasing  approximately 2,500 square feet of space. One of
the  Center's  current  restaurant  tenants is  planning  to begin an  extensive
renovation  of its space at its own expense in the third  quarter.  A major roof
project has been  undertaken  this quarter and,  over the next two fiscal years,
the property's  management team intends to replace 56% of the roof, primarily in
the area above the anchor tenants.

      As discussed in the Partnership's Annual Report,  management believes that
the Partnership's efforts to sell or refinance the Northeast Plaza property have
been  impeded by  potential  lender  concerns  of an  environmental  nature with
respect to the property. During 1990, it was discovered that certain underground
storage tanks of a Mobil service station located adjacent to the shopping center
had leaked and  contaminated  the  groundwater  in the  vicinity of the station.
Since the time that the contamination was discovered, Mobil has investigated the
problem  and is  progressing  with  efforts to remedy  the soil and  groundwater
contamination  under the supervision of the Florida  Department of Environmental
Regulation, which has approved Mobil's remedial action plan. During fiscal 1990,
the Partnership had obtained a formal  indemnification  agreement from Mobil Oil
Corporation  in which Mobil  agreed to bear the cost of all damages and required
clean-up expenses.  Furthermore,  Mobil indemnified the Partnership  against its
inability to sell,  transfer or obtain  financing on the property because of the
contamination.  As a result of the contamination of the groundwater at Northeast
Plaza, the Partnership has incurred certain  damages,  primarily  related to the
inability to sell the property and to delays in the process of  refinancing  the
property's  mortgage  indebtedness.  The  Partnership  has incurred  significant
out-of-pocket  and legal expenses in connection  with such sale and  refinancing
efforts. Despite repeated requests by the Partnership for compensation under the
terms of the indemnification  agreement, to date Mobil has refused to compensate
the  Partnership  for any of these  damages.  During the first quarter of fiscal
1993,  the  Partnership  filed suit against  Mobil for breach of  indemnity  and
property  damage.  On April 28, 1995,  Mobil Oil  Corporation  was successful in
obtaining a Partial  Summary  Judgment  which  removed the case from the Federal
Court system. Subsequently, the Partnership filed an action in the Florida State
Court  system.  This  action is for  substantially  all of the same  claims  and
utilizes the substantial  discovery and trial preparation work already completed
for the Federal  case. A jury trial is scheduled  for  September  23, 1996.  The
outcome of these legal proceedings cannot presently be determined.

      At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had available cash and cash equivalents
of $572,000.  Such cash and cash  equivalents  will be used for working  capital
requirements and  distributions to the partners.  The source of future liquidity
and  distributions to the partners is expected to be through cash generated from
the operations of the Partnership's  income-producing  investment properties and
proceeds  received from the sale or refinancing  of such  properties or sales of
the  Partnership's  interests in such properties.  Such sources of liquidity are
expected to be sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  needs on both a short-term
and long-term basis. In addition,  the Partnership has a note receivable that it
received  as a portion  of the  proceeds  from the sale of its  interest  in the
Briarwood  joint venture in fiscal 1985. The note and related  accrued  interest
receivable  have been  netted  against a deferred  gain of a like  amount on the
accompanying  balance  sheet.  The  interest  owed  on the  note  receivable  is
currently payable only to the extent that the related properties generate excess
net cash flow.  To date,  no  payments  have been  received  on the note,  which
matures on January 1, 2000, and none are expected in the near future.  Since the
operating  properties  continue  to  generate  net cash  flow  deficits  and the
Partnership's  note  receivable is  subordinated  to the existing first mortgage
debt, there is significant uncertainty as to the collectibility of the principal
and accrued interest.  Proceeds,  if any, received on the note would represent a
source of additional liquidity for the Partnership.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

      Net income decreased by $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
as  compared  to the same  period in the prior  year,  due to a decrease  in the
Partnership's  share of ventures' income of $73,000.  The Partnership's share of
ventures'  income  decrease  by $73,000  primarily  due to a decrease in the net
income of the Camelot  Apartments joint of $52,000.  Net income decreased at the
Camelot   Apartments  mainly  due  to  increases  in  expenses  related  to  the
preparation  of  the  property  for a  possible  sale  during  fiscal  1996  and
additional advertising expenses incurred in order to attract prospective tenants
due to the increase in the property's  vacancy rate, as discussed further above.
The decrease in the Partnership's share of ventures' income was partially offset
by a decrease in the Partnership's operating loss of $58,000. The decline in the
Partnership's  operating  loss  was  a  result  of a  decrease  in  general  and
administrative   expenses  of  $51,000.   General  and  administrative  expenses
decreased  primarily  due to a  decrease  in legal and other  professional  fees
incurred during the current  three-month period in connection with the continued
litigation  against Mobil Oil  Corporation,  as discussed  further  above.  Such
expenses  are  expected  to  increase  again  once  the  scheduled   trial  date
approaches.

Six Months Ended March 31, 1996

      Net income  decreased  by $72,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996,
as  compared  to the same  period in the prior  year,  due to a decrease  in the
Partnership's share of ventures' income of $117,000.  The Partnership's share of
ventures'  income  decreased  by $117,000  due to decreases in the net income at
both the Camelot  Apartments  and  Central  Plaza  joint  venturees.  Net income
decreased at the Camelot  Apartments mainly due to increases in expenses related
to the  preparation  of the property for a possible  sale during fiscal 1996 and
additional advertising expenses incurred in order to attract prospective tenants
due to the increase in the  property's  vacancy  rate.  Net income  decreased at
Central  Plaza as a result of the decline in occupancy  discussed  further above
and an increase in repairs and  maintenance  expenses due to the unusually harsh
winter weather.  The decrease in the Partnership's share of ventures' income was
partially offset by a decrease in the  Partnership's  operating loss of $45,000.
The  decline in the  Partnership's  operating  loss was  primarily a result of a
decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  of  $35,000.  General  and
administrative  expenses  decreased  mainly due to a decrease in legal and other
professional  fees incurred  during the current  six-month  period in connection
with the  continued  litigation  against  Mobil Oil  Corporation,  as  discussed
further above.  Such expenses are expected to increases again once the scheduled
trial date approaches.

                                Other Information


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     As previously disclosed, Third Income Properties, Inc., the General Partner
of the  Partnership,  was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit against
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and a number of its affiliates relating
to PaineWebber's sale of 70 direct investment offerings,  including the offering
of  interests  in  the  Partnership.  In  January  1996,  PaineWebber  signed  a
memorandum of  understanding  with the plaintiffs in the class action  outlining
the terms under which the  parties  have agreed to settle the case.  Pursuant to
that memorandum of understanding, PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125 million
into an escrow fund under the  supervision  of the United States  District Court
for the Southern  District of New York to be used to resolve the  litigation  in
accordance with a definitive settlement agreement and a plan of allocation which
the parties  expect to submit to the court for its  consideration  and  approval
within  the next  several  months.  Until a  definitive  settlement  and plan of
allocation  is approved by the court,  there can be no assurance  what,  if any,
payment or non-monetary  benefits will be made available to unitholders in Paine
Webber Income  Properties  Three  Limited  Partnership.  Under  certain  limited
circumstances,  pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement  and other  contractual
obligations,  PaineWebber  affiliates could be entitled to  indemnification  for
expenses and  liabilities  in connection  with this  litigation.  At the present
time, the General Partner cannot estimate the impact,  if any, of this matter on
the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.
