Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At September 30, 1995, the Partnership was owed $82,934 by AFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in
October 1995.
On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a
newly formed Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG, issued a voluntary Offer to Purchase for Cash (the "Offer")
up to approximately 45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in
this Partnership and 20 affiliated partnerships sponsored and managed by AFG.
Coincident to the Offer, a Tender Offer Statement pursuant to Section 14(d)(1)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, on August 18, 1995, the General
Partner filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement (Schedule 14D-9) pursuant
to Section 14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act. The Offer was amended and supplemented
in order to provide additional disclosure to unitholders; increase the offer
price; reduce the number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding
units; and extend the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995. Certain
legal actions were initiated by interested persons against AALP and each of the
general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and various other
affiliates and related parties. One action, representing a class action on
behalf of the unitholders (limited partners), sought to enjoin the Offer and
obtain unspecified monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation was
proposed and was preliminarily approved by the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts (the "Court") on September 27, 1995. A final
settlement hearing is scheduled on November 15, 1995. A second class action,
brought in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, seeks to
enjoin the Offer, obtain unspecified monetary damages, and intervene in the
first class action. The plaintiffs have filed objections to the proposed
settlement of the first action. At this date, these objections have not been
acted upon by the Superior Court. As of the Offer expiration date, the limited
partners of the Partnership had tendered approximately 100,195 Units or 9.93% of
the total outstanding Units of the Partnership to AALP. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the operations of the Partnership are not expected to be adversely
affected by the proceedings or proposed settlements.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable at September 30, 1995 consisted of installment notes of
$17,816 payable to a bank. All of the installment notes are non-recourse, with
an interest rate of 7.13% and are collateralized by the equipment and assignment
of the related lease payments. The installment notes will be fully amortized by
noncancellable rents in the year ending September 30, 1996.
NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1993, Healthcare Enterprises of North Texas Ltd. (d.b.a. "Wylie
Hospital"), a lessee of the Partnership, filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code in the Eastern District of Texas. The Chapter 11
proceeding remains pending. AFG, on behalf of the Partnership and certain other
AFG-sponsored programs, filed a proof of claim in this matter. Equipment leased
to this lessee had a cost of approximately $36,500 at the time of the bankruptcy
filing. The Partnership sold the equipment in May 1995 and recognized a net gain
of $455. Pursuant to the order of the U.S. District Bankruptcy Court, Wylie
Hospital was required to pay $11,000 to the Partnership for settlement of this
matter, which amount was paid in full as of April 1995. This bankruptcy did not
have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Partnership.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994:
Overview
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to
acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements
with third parties. The Partnership was designed to progress through three
principal phases: acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the
operations phase, a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the
Partnership's portfolio will progress through various stages. Initially, all
equipment will generate rental revenues under primary term lease agreements.
During the life of the Partnership, these agreements will expire on an
intermittent basis and equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be
renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the
assessment of such conditions by AFG to obtain the most advantageous economic
benefit. Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment
portfolio will become available for remarketing and cash generated from
operations and from sales or refinancings will begin to fluctuate. Ultimately,
all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. The
Partnership's operations commenced in 1987.
Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $242,651 and $734,478, respectively, compared to
$331,454 and $1,321,124 for the same periods in 1994. The decrease in lease
revenue between 1994 and 1995 was expected and resulted principally from renewal
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The
Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
At March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Managing General Partner lowered the amount
reserved against potentially uncollectable rents to $97,000 and $140,000,
respectively, resulting in an increase in lease revenue of $43,000 in 1995 and
$45,000 in 1994. It cannot be determined whether the Partnership will recover
any past due rents in the future; however, the Managing General Partner will
pursue the collection of all such items.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$6,244 and $21,382, respectively, compared to $12,269 and $34,027 for the same
periods in 1994. Interest income is generated from temporary investment of
rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term instruments. The
decrease in interest income from 1994 to 1995 is principally attributable to a
lower availability of cash used for investment prior to distribution to the
Partners. The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate in
relation to prevailing interest rates and the collection of lease revenue and
equipment sale proceeds.
During the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
sold equipment which had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in net gains, for financial statement purposes, of
$93,910 and $10,344, respectively.
<PAGE>
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS III-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment which had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes,
of $159,357 compared to a net gain of $133,898 on equipment having a net book
value of $81,686 for the corresponding period in 1994.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies
such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
was $169,401 and $460,895, respectively, compared to $209,735 and $803,816 for
the same periods in 1994. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that
an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the
difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this
policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the
date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its
primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net
book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic life.
Interest expense was $348 and $1,876, or less than 1% of lease revenue for
each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, compared to
$1,743 and $9,387 or less than 1% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1994.
Interest expense in future periods will continue to decline in amount and as a
percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes payable is reduced
through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue during each of the periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and will not change as a percentage of lease revenue
in future periods.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented 6.4% and 10.6% of lease
revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively,
compared to 21.9% and 9% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1994.
Operating expenses were higher in 1994 than in 1995 due to repair and
maintenance costs incurred in connection with the re-lease of an L1011-100
aircraft to a third party. The amount of future operating expenses cannot be
predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher during the
acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations
typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an
equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities
derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with
leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating
activities generated net cash inflows of $846,207 and $1,167,325 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease
and equipment sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's
lease revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a higher
frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold
to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon
expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.
Cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash realized from asset
disposal transactions are reported under investing activities on the
accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. In 1994, the Partnership capitalized
$16,420 in connection with the upgrade of an L1011-100 aircraft. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership realized $159,357 in equipment
sale proceeds compared to $215,584 for the same period in 1994. Future inflows
of cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be
influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and
timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and
age, and future market conditions.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing activities. Each note payable is recourse
only to the specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments
contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which period
generally coincides with the lease rental term). As rental payments are
collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay the
associated indebtedness. In future periods, the amount of cash used to repay
debt obligations will continue to decline as the principal balance of notes
payable is reduced through the collection and application of rents.
Cash distributions to the Recognized Owners and General Partners are
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component
of financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the
Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $828,104. In
accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or
$819,823, and the General Partners were allocated 1%, or $8,281. The third
quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on October 13, 1995.
Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return
of and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of
Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and
are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing
and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the
outcome of residual activities. The Managing General Partner anticipates that
cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will
occur during the life of the Partnership.
