1.  Organization

 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 March 31, 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 accounting adjustments reflected
 in the accompanying interim financial statements are of a normal recurring
 nature.

2. Related Party Transactions

  Included in general and administrative expenses for both of the six-month
  periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 is $50,000, representing
  reimbursements to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for providing
  certain financial, accounting and investor communication services to the
  Partnership.

  Also included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
  September 30, 1995 and 1994 is $6,000 and $2,000, respectively, representing
  fees earned by Mitchell Hutchins Institutional Investors, Inc. for managing
  the Partnership's cash assets.

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Venture Partnerships

 At September 30, 1995, the Partnership has investments in two unconsolidated
 joint venture partnerships (three at March 31, 1995) which own operating
 properties as more fully described in the Partnership's Annual Report.  The
 unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for by using the equity method
 because the Partnership does not have a voting control interest in these
 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 each venture's earnings, losses and distributions.  The
 Partnership reports its share of unconsolidated joint venture earnings or
 losses three months in arrears.

 In January 1995, the Partnership acquired 99% of the co-venturer's interest in
 the Willow Grove joint venture in return for a cash payment of approximately
 $233,000.  The remaining 1% interest of the co-venturer was assigned to Third
 Equity partners, Inc., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership.  As a
 result of this transaction, the Partnership has acquired control over the
 operations of the joint venture.  Accordingly, this joint venture has been
 presented on a consolidated basis in the Partnership's financial statements as
 of and for the six months ended September 30, 1995 (see Note 4).  Prior to
 April 1, 1995, the venture had been accounted for on the equity method, as
 discussed above.

 Summarized operations of the unconsolidated joint ventures for the periods
 indicated are as follows (in thousands):

4.  Operating Investment Property

   At September 30, 1995, the Partnership has investments in two consolidated
   joint venture partnerships (one at March 31,1995) which own operating
   investment properties.  The consolidated ventures have December 31 year-ends
   for both tax and financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the
   Partnership's policy is to report the financial position, results of
   operations and cash flows of these ventures on a three-month lag.  All
   material transactions between the Partnership and these joint ventures have
   been eliminated upon consolidation, except for lag-period cash transfers.
   Such lag period cash transfers are accounted for as advances from
   consolidated ventures on the accompanying balance sheet.

  As discussed in the Partnership's Annual Report, the Partnership owns a
  controlling interest in the Colony Plaza General Partnership, which was
  formed to acquire and operate the Colony Plaza Shopping Center located in
  Augusta, Georgia.  The shopping center, which consists of approximately
  217,000 square feet of leasable retail space, was acquired by the joint
  venture on January 18, 1990.

  On January 27, 1995, the Partnership purchased 99% of its co-venture
  partner's interest in the Willow Grove joint venture for $233,000.  The
  remaining 1% interest of the co-venturer was assigned to Third Equity
  Partners, Inc., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, in return
  for a release from any further obligations or duties called for under the
  terms of the joint venture agreement.  As a result, the Partnership has
  assumed full control over the affairs of the joint venture.  Due to the
  Partnership's policy of reporting the operations of the joint ventures on a
  three-month lag, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash
  flows of the joint venture are presented on a consolidated basis in the
  financial statements of the Partnership beginning in fiscal 1996.

  The following is a combined summary of property operating expenses for the
  consolidated joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
  and 1994 (in thousands):

5.Notes payable

   Notes payable and accrued interest on the books of the Partnership at
September 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995 consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                 September 30    March 31

10.72% nonrecourse loan payable to an
insurance company, which is secured by the
One Paragon Place operating investment
property.  All interest and principal is due
at maturity, on November 23, 1995.  Interest
is compounded semi-annually.  Accrued
interest at September 30, 1995 and  March 31,
1995 amounted to $5,298 and $4,774,
respectively.  See discussion below.             $ 10,298        $ 9,774

10.5% nonrecourse loan payable to a finance
company, which is secured by the Colony Plaza
operating investment property.  All interest
and principal is due at maturity, on December
29, 1996.  Interest is compounded semi-
annually.  Accrued interest at September 30,
1995 and March 31, 1995 amounted to $3,247
and $2,883, respectively.                           7,297          6,933

9.59% nonrecourse mortgage note payable to a
financial institution secured by the Willow
Grove operating investment property.  The
note, issued to the Willow Grove joint
venture, requires monthly principal and
interest payments of $32 from April 1995
through maturity in March 2002.                     3,593              -
                                                  $21,188        $16,707

   The Partnership is in the process of finalizing a new loan agreement to
refinance the note secured by One Paragon Place.  The proposed refinancing
transaction will require a paydown of approximately $1.3 million on the
outstanding debt balance in order to satisfy lender loan-to-value ratio
requirements.  The Partnership has sufficient funds to make such a principal
paydown and expects to close this refinancing transaction prior to the scheduled
maturity date of the current loan.

6.Contingencies

  The Partnership is involved in certain legal actions.  The Managing General
  Partner believes these actions will be resolved without material adverse
  effect on the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.



             PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   As discussed further in the Annual Report, management continues negotiations
to complete the refinancing of the Partnership's zero coupon loans, which were
originally incurred to finance the Partnership's public offering costs.  These
plans are aimed at preventing the further accumulation of accrued interest by
replacing the outstanding obligations with conventional financing which would
require the payment of interest and principal on a current basis.  As a result
of this expected additional debt service, there will be a reduction in current
cash flows from the properties to the Partnership.  In addition, there is an
ongoing need to use a portion of the earnings from the operating properties to
fund planned capital work at the Partnership's three commercial properties.
This work includes capital enhancements, tenant improvements and leasing
commissions at each of these properties.  As previously reported, the reduction
in cash flows from the properties, combined with the aforementioned capital
needs, resulted in the reduction of the quarterly distribution rate from 5% per
annum to 2% beginning with the payment made on November 15, 1994 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1994.  Distributions are expected to continue to be paid at
a rate of 2% throughout fiscal 1996, unless actual results of operations,
economic conditions or other factors differ substantially from the assumptions
used in projecting the planned distribution rate.

   During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Partnership closed on the
first of the three required refinancing transactions involving the zero coupon
loans.  In March 1995, the zero coupon loan secured by the Willow Grove
Apartments, which had an outstanding balance of $2,473,000, was repaid in full
from the proceeds of a new $3,600,000 loan to the Willow Grove joint venture.
The new mortgage loan is secured by the Willow Grove Apartments, bears interest
at a rate of 9.59% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of
approximately $32,000 through maturity, in March 2002. Excess refinancing
proceeds of approximately $1,050,000 were distributed to the Partnership and
were added to the balance of cash reserves.  In order to facilitate this
refinancing transaction, in January 1995 the Partnership paid the Willow Grove
co-venturer $233,000 to buy out its joint venture interest.  The Willow Grove
joint venture agreement restricted the Partnership's ability to refinance the
property's zero coupon loan with debt in excess of $2.5 million without the co-
venture partner's consent, which it had been unwilling to grant.  The
Partnership desired to employ the additional borrowing capacity of the Willow
Grove asset in order to secure the funds necessary to complete the One Paragon
Place refinancing discussed further below.  In addition to affording the
Partnership the flexibility to proceed with its refinancing plans, the buyout of
the co-venturer's interest gives the Partnership complete control over the
venture's operations and eventual disposition decisions with respect to the
operating investment property.  The former co-venture partner has been retained
in a property management capacity under a contract which is cancellable for any
reason upon 30 days' written notice from the Partnership.  The average occupancy
of the Willow Grove Apartments for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was 96%
which mirrors the average occupancy levels for competing properties in the area.

   The Partnership is currently in the process of finalizing a new loan
agreement to refinance the zero coupon loan secured by One Paragon Place.  The
proposed refinancing transaction would require a paydown of approximately $1.3
million on the outstanding debt balance in order to satisfy lender loan-to-value
ratio requirements.  The Partnership has sufficient funds to make such a
principal paydown as a result of the Willow Grove refinancing transaction
described above.  The zero coupon loan secured by the One Paragon Place Office
Building, in the initial principal amount of $5,000,000, had an outstanding
balance as of September 30, 1995 of approximately $10,298,000 and is scheduled
to mature in November of 1995, at which time approximately $10,386,000 will be
due.  One Paragon Place was 90% occupied at September 30, 1995.  The suburban
Richmond, Virginia office market continues to strengthen with high occupancy
levels and improving rental rates as a result of the absence of significant new
construction.  In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 1995, one of the
property's major tenants negotiated a buyout of its lease obligation with
respect to over one-half of its prior space of approximately 53,000 square feet.
Under the terms of the buyout agreement, the tenant will pay a current market
rental rate on its remaining 22,000 square feet through the remainder of its
lease term, which runs through July 1998.  In addition, the tenant agreed to
continue to pay rent through May 1995 on the 31,000 square feet of vacated space
and paid a lump sum of $500,000 to the joint venture on July 20, 1995, which
should be sufficient to cover the expected costs of re-leasing the space.  Since
annual market rental rates are presently above this tenant's former lease rate
by approximately $2 per square foot, overall cash flow from the property will
increase once replacement tenants are secured.  More than one-half of this space
has already been re-leased at these higher market rates.  Management expects to
be able to re-lease the remaining space quickly given the property's favorable
competitive position in this strengthening market.

     At September 30, 1995, the zero coupon loan secured by the Colony Plaza
shopping center had an outstanding balance of $7,297,000.  The loan is scheduled
to mature in December of 1996, at which time approximately $8,290,000 would be
due.  Management has engaged in discussions with various lenders to refinance
the Colony Plaza note payable.  At the same time, management had been working
with Wal-Mart on the logistics of a possible expansion of its store at Colony
Plaza.  During fiscal 1995, management learned that the cost of completing
construction for the expansion was more than Wal-Mart had originally budgeted.
Concerns over these estimated construction costs resulted in delays in the
decision to proceed with the original expansion concept, which involved an
increase in the size of the Wal-Mart store from its current 82,000 square feet
to 120,000 square feet.  Over the past several years, Wal-Mart has significantly
changed its prototype store concept, requiring larger stores with additional
expansion space to accommodate increasing per store sales volume.  More
recently, Wal-Mart has begun building "superstores", which contain up to 200,000
square feet and include a grocery store component in addition to a Wal-Mart
discount store.  This practice reflects a broader trend among many retailers to
maximize selling areas and reduce costs by constructing superstores or by
emphasizing larger properties and closing smaller, more marginal stores.  During
the quarter ended June 30, 1995, management was informed that Wal-Mart intends
to construct one of its supercenter stores at another identified site in the
Augusta market and to vacate Colony Plaza upon the completion of construction.
The construction of a new superstore is not likely to be completed until
sometime in calendar 1997.  Although Wal-Mart will remain obligated to pay rent
and its share of operating expenses through the term of its lease, which expires
in March 2009, the loss of the center's principal anchor tenant would likely
adversely affect the Partnership's ability to retain existing tenants and to
lease vacant space at the center unless a strong replacement anchor tenant is
obtained.  Management intends to actively work to locate a replacement tenant or
tenants for the Wal-Mart space and will continue to evaluate its refinancing
alternatives.

   The DeVargas Mall experienced a positive trend in occupancy beginning in the
second half of fiscal 1995 and was 90% leased as of September 30, 1995 after
dropping to a low of 84% as of September 1994.  During the current year, the
DeVargas joint venture has budgeted approximately $777,000 for capital items
primarily related to tenant improvements and leasing costs which might be
required if the venture is successful in obtaining tenants to lease the majority
of the available space at the Mall.  There are three significant lease proposals
currently pending with regard to space which is currently available and space
that will become available over the next year; one for 27,000 square feet, one
for 20,000 square feet and another which is in the 10,000 square foot range.
These leases, if successfully executed, would accomplish management's leasing
objectives and effectively bring the Mall to full occupancy.  Over the past 2
years, management has been successful in altering the tenant roster at the Mall
to obtain a more complementary mix of retailers.  Funding of the required tenant
improvements would likely be accomplished by means of additional advances under
the lines of credit provided by the Partnership's co-venture partner.  To date,
the co-venturer has provided financing in the amount of approximately $3 million
to fund prior expansion and leasing costs.  The venture pays interest on such
advances at the rate of prime plus 1% per annum.

   At September 30, 1995, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture
had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,668,000.  These
funds will be utilized for the working capital requirements of the Partnership,
distributions to partners, refinancing expenses related to the Partnership's
zero coupon loans and to fund capital enhancements and tenant improvements for
the operating investment properties, if necessary, in accordance with the
respective joint venture agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1995

   The Partnership reported net income of $231,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to a net loss of $179,000 for the same period in
the prior year.  The improvement in net operating results for the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 resulted from a decrease in the Partnership's operating loss of
$16,000 and an increase in the Partnership's share of unconsolidated ventures'
income of $394,000.  Beginning in fiscal 1996, the results of operations of the
Willow Grove joint venture have been presented on a consolidated basis as a
result of the Partnership buying out the co-venture partner's interest in the
joint venture, as described above.  Therefore, the operating loss for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 is not directly comparable to the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  The increase in rental revenues of $192,000 is
primarily due to the addition of Willow Grove revenues totalling $214,000.
Similarly, the increases in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and
depreciation expense are a direct result of the consolidation of the Willow
Grove joint venture.  An increase in interest income of $49,000 and a decrease
in interest expense of $16,000 also contributed to the decline in operating loss
for the current three-month period.

     The partnership's share of unconsolidated venture's income increased in
spite of the fact that the Willow Grove joint venture is presented on a
consolidated basis in the current period.  The increase in the Partnership's
share of income from the joint ventures of $394,000 was a direct result of the
receipt of $500,000 by the One Paragon Place joint venture for  the lease
termination agreement discussed above.  The DeVargas joint venture also had an
increase in rental revenues of approximately $48,000 for the three months ended
September 30,1995.  Rental revenues at DeVargas increased due to increases in
minimum rent, percentage rents and common area maintenance and utility
reimbursements resulting from the improvement in average occupancy for the
current period.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1995

     The Partnership reported net income of $148,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to a net loss of $354,000 for the same period in
the prior year.  The improvement in net operating results for the first two
quarters of fiscal 1996 resulted from a decrease in the Partnership's operating
loss of $146,000 and an increase in the Partnership's share of unconsolidated
ventures' income of $ $356,000.  As discussed above, due to the consolidation of
the Willow Grove joint venture, the operating loss for the six months ended
September 30, 1995 is not directly comparable to the six months ended September
30, 1994.  The increase in rental revenues of  $428,000 is primarily due to the
addition of Willow Grove revenues totalling $426,000.  Similarly, the increases
in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation expense are a
direct result of the consolidation of the Willow Grove joint venture.  An
increase in interest income of $96,000 and a decrease in interest expense of
$14,000 also contributed to the decline in operating loss for the current six-
month period.

     The Partnership's share of  unconsolidated ventures' income increased in
spite of the fact that the Willow Grove joint venture is presented on a
consolidated basis in the current period.  The increase in the Partnership's
share of  income from the joint ventures, of $356,000, was a direct result of
the receipt of $500,000 by the One Paragon Place joint venture for the lease
termination agreement discussed above.  The DeVargas joint venture also had an
increase in rental revenues of approximately $148,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1995.  Rental revenues at DeVargas increased due to increases in
minimum rent, percentage rents and common area maintenance and utility
reimbursements resulting from the improvement in average occupancy for the
current period.
