                                    PART I

Item 1.  Business

    PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is
a limited  partnership formed in May 1987 under the Uniform Limited Partnership 
Act of the State of Virginia to invest in a  diversified  portfolio of existing,
newly-constructed or to-be-built  income-producing  operating properties such as
apartments, shopping centers, hotels, office buildings and industrial buildings.
The Partnership sold approximately  $50,468,000 in Limited Partnership Units, at
$1,000  per Unit,  from  January  4, 1988 to  September  1, 1989  pursuant  to a
Registration  Statement  on Form S-11  filed  under the  Securities  Act of 1933
(Registration No.  33-14489).  Limited Partners will not be required to make any
additional capital contributions.

    As  of  March  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  owned,  through  joint  venture
partnerships,  interests in the operating  properties set forth in the following

(1) See Notes to the  Financial  Statements  filed with this  Annual  Report for
    descriptions  of the agreements  through which the  Partnership has acquired
    these operating investment properties.

    The  Partnership's  investment  objectives are to invest the proceeds raised
from the offering of limited  partnership  units in a  diversified  portfolio of
income-producing properties in order to:

   (i)  preserve and protect the Limited Partners' capital,
   (ii) provide the Limited  Partners with  quarterly  cash  distributions,  a
        portion of which will be  sheltered  from current  federal  income tax
        liability, and
   (iii)achieve long-term  capital  appreciation  in the  value  of the 
        Partnership's investment properties.

    Through March 31, 1996, the Limited  Partners have received  cumulative cash
distributions of approximately $21,219,000. Quarterly distributions were paid at
the rate of 8% per annum on invested capital from inception  through the quarter
ended  September  30,  1991.  The  distributions  were  reduced  to 5% per annum
effective  for the quarter  ended  December  31, 1991 and were paid at that rate
through  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1994.   Starting  July  1,  1994,  cash
distributions  have been paid at a rate of 2% per annum on invested  capital.  A
substantial  portion of the  distributions  paid to date has been sheltered from
current federal income tax liability.  In addition,  the Partnership  retains an
ownership interest in all four of its original investment properties.

     The  Partnership's  success in meeting its capital  appreciation  objective
will  depend  upon the  proceeds  received  from the  final  liquidation  of the
investments.  The amount of such proceeds will ultimately  depend upon the value
of the underlying investment properties at the time of their liquidation,  which
cannot  presently  be  determined.  The  Partnership's  portfolio of real estate
investments  consists of two retail  shopping  centers,  one  commercial  office
building  and one  multi-family  apartment  complex.  While  market  values  for
commercial  office buildings have generally  stabilized over the past two years,
such  values  continue  to be  depressed  due to  the  residual  effects  of the
overbuilding  which  occurred in the late 1980's and the trend toward  corporate
downsizing  and  restructurings  which occurred in the wake of the last national
recession.  In  addition,  at the  present  time real  estate  values for retail
shopping  centers in certain markets have begun to be affected by the effects of
overbuilding  and  consolidations  among  retailers  which have  resulted  in an
oversupply of space. The market for multi-family  residential properties in most
markets throughout the country continued its trend of gradual improvement during
fiscal 1996, as the ongoing  absence of significant  new  construction  activity
further  improved  upon the supply and demand  characteristics  facing  existing
properties.  Management's  plans  are  presently  to hold  the  majority  of the
investment  properties  for  long-term  investment  purposes  and to direct  the
management of the  operations  of the  properties  to maximize  their  long-term
values.

    All of the  Partnership's  investment  properties are located in real estate
markets  in which  they  face  significant  competition  for the  revenues  they
generate.  The apartment complex competes with numerous projects of similar type
generally  on the  basis of price and  amenities.  Apartment  properties  in all
markets also compete  with the local single  family home market for  prospective
tenants. The continued availability of low interest rates on home mortgage loans
has increased the level of this  competition  over the past few years.  However,
the impact of the competition from the single-family home market has been offset
by the  lack  of  significant  new  construction  activity  in the  multi-family
apartment market over this period. The Partnership's shopping centers and office
building investments also compete for long-term commercial tenants with numerous
projects of similar type  generally  on the basis of price,  location and tenant
improvement allowances.

    The  Partnership  has no  property  investments  located  outside the United
States.  The  Partnership  is  engaged  solely in the  business  of real  estate
investment, therefore presentation of information about industry segments is not
applicable.

    The Partnership has no employees;  it has however,  entered into an advisory
agreement with PaineWebber Properties  Incorporated (PWPI), which is responsible
for  the  day-to-day  operations  of the  Partnership.  PWPI  is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of  PaineWebber  Incorporated  (PWI),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
PaineWebber Group Inc. (PaineWebber).

    The managing  general partner of the  Partnership is Third Equity  Partners,
Inc. (the "Managing  General  Partner"),  a wholly owned  subsidiary of PWI. The
associate general partners of the Partnership (the "Associate General Partners")
are PaineWebber Partnerships, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber and
Properties  Associates 1988 L.P., a Virginia  limited  partnership.  The general
partner  of  Properties  Associates  1988,  L.P.  is PAM  Inc.,  a wholly  owned
subsidiary of PWPI. The officers of PaineWebber Partnerships,  Inc. and PAM Inc.
are also officers of the Managing General Partner.

    The terms of  transactions  between the  Partnership  and  affiliates of the
Managing  General  Partner  are set  forth  in  Items  11 and 13  below to which
reference is hereby made for a description of such terms and transactions.

Item 2.  Properties

    The Partnership has acquired interests in four operating  properties through
joint venture  partnerships.  These joint venture  partnerships  and the related
properties are referred to under Item 1 above to which reference is made for the
name, location and description of the properties.

    Occupancy figures for each fiscal quarter during 1996, along with an average
for the year, are presented below for each property:

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     In  November  1994,  a series of  purported  class  actions  (the "New York
Limited Partnership Actions") were filed in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York concerning PaineWebber Incorporated's sale and
sponsorship of various limited partnership investments,  including those offered
by the Partnership.  The lawsuits were brought against PaineWebber  Incorporated
and Paine Webber Group Inc. (together "PaineWebber"), among others, by allegedly
dissatisfied  partnership  investors.  In March  1995,  after the  actions  were
consolidated under the title In re PaineWebber Limited  Partnership  Litigation,
the  plaintiffs  amended their  complaint to assert claims  against a variety of
other  defendants,   including  Third  Equity  Partners,   Inc.  and  Properties
Associates  1988,  L.P.  ("PA1988"),  which  are  the  General  Partners  of the
Partnership and affiliates of PaineWebber.  On May 30, 1995, the court certified
class action treatment of the claims asserted in the litigation.

     The amended complaint in the New York Limited  Partnership  Actions alleges
that, in connection  with the sale of interests in PaineWebber  Equity  Partners
Three Limited Partnership,  PaineWebber,  Third Equity Partners, Inc. and PA1988
(1) failed to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved;  (2) made false
and  misleading  representations  about the  safety of the  investments  and the
Partnership's  anticipated  performance;  and (3)  marketed the  Partnership  to
investors for whom such  investments  were not  suitable.  The  plaintiffs,  who
purport to be suing on behalf of all persons who invested in PaineWebber  Equity
Partners Three Limited Partnership.,  also allege that following the sale of the
partnership  interests,  PaineWebber,  Third  Equity  Partners,  Inc. and PA1988
misrepresented   financial   information  about  the  Partnership's   value  and
performance.  The amended  complaint  alleges  that  PaineWebber,  Third  Equity
Partners,  Inc.  and  PA1988  violated  the  Racketeer  Influenced  and  Corrupt
Organizations Act ("RICO") and the federal  securities laws. The plaintiffs seek
unspecified  damages,  including  reimbursement for all sums invested by them in
the  partnerships,  as well as disgorgement of all fees and other income derived
by PaineWebber from the limited partnerships.  In addition,  the plaintiffs also
seek treble damages under RICO.

     In January 1996,  PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with the
plaintiffs in the New York Limited Partnership Actions 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 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 investors in  PaineWebber  Equity  Partners
Three Limited Partnership.

     In February 1996,  approximately  150 plaintiffs  filed an action  entitled
Abbate v.  PaineWebber  Inc. in  Sacramento,  California  Superior Court against
PaineWebber   Incorporated  and  various  affiliated   entities  concerning  the
plaintiffs' purchases of various limited partnership interests,  including those
offered by the  Partnership.  The complaint  alleges,  among other things,  that
PaineWebber and its related entities committed fraud and  misrepresentation  and
breached  fiduciary  duties  allegedly  owed to the  plaintiffs  by  selling  or
promoting  limited   partnership   investments  that  were  unsuitable  for  the
plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits,  understating  the risks and failing
to  state  material  facts  concerning  the  investments.  The  complaint  seeks
compensatory  damages of $15 million plus punitive damages against  PaineWebber.
The eventual outcome of this litigation and the potential impact, if any, on the
Partnership's unitholders cannot be determined at the present time.

     In  June  1996,  approximately  50  plaintiffs  filed  an  action  entitled
Bandrowski v. PaineWebber Inc. in Sacramento,  California Superior Court against
PaineWebber   Incorporated  and  various  affiliated   entities  concerning  the
plaintiff's purchases of various limited partnership interests,  including those
offered  by the  Partnership.  The  complaint  is  substantially  similar to the
complaint in the Abbate action described above, and seeks  compensatory  damages
of $3.4 million plus punitive damages.

     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 Managing General Partner cannot estimate the impact, if
any, of the  potential  indemnification  claims on the  Partnership's  financial
statements,  taken as a whole. Accordingly, no provision for any liability which
could  result from the  eventual  outcome of these  matters has been made in the
accompanying financial statements of the Partnership.

      The  Partnership  is not  subject  to any  other  material  pending  legal
proceedings.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 5.  Market  for the  Partnership's  Limited  Partnership  Interests  and
Related Security Holder Matters

    At  March  31,  1996,  there  were  3,644  record  holders  of  Units in the
Partnership.  There is no public market for the Units, and it is not anticipated
that a public market for the Units will develop.  The Managing  General  Partner
will not redeem or repurchase Units.

Item 7.   Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  And
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Partnership offered Units of Limited Partnership Interests to the public
from January 1988 to September 1989 pursuant to a Registration  Statement  filed
under  the  Securities  Act of 1933.  The  offering  raised  gross  proceeds  of
approximately  $50,468,000.  The Partnership also received  $10,500,000 from the
proceeds of zero coupon loans,  as discussed  further below and in Note 6 to the
accompanying financial statements.  The loan proceeds, net of financing expenses
of $352,000, were used to pay offering and organization costs, acquisition fees,
and acquisition-related  expenses of the Partnership, in addition to financing a
portion of the Partnership's cash reserves.  The Partnership originally invested
approximately  $49,041,000  (net  of  acquisition  fees of  $2,523,000)  in four
operating investment properties through joint venture partnerships.  As of March
31, 1996, the Partnership  retained its ownership  interest in all four of these
properties,  which consist of two retail shopping centers,  one office building,
and one multi-family apartment complex.

    During  fiscal  1996,  management  continued  its efforts to  refinance  the
Partnership's zero coupon loans,  which were originally  incurred to finance the
Partnership's   public   offering   costs,  in  order  to  prevent  the  further
accumulation of accrued  interest by replacing the zero coupon  obligations with
conventional financing which requires the payment of interest and principal on a
current basis. As previously reported,  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  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.

    On November  16, 1995,  the  Partnership  finalized a new loan  agreement to
refinance the zero coupon loan secured by the One Paragon Place Office  Building
which had a principal  balance of $10.4 million at the time of the  refinancing.
The new loan secured by the One Paragon Place Office  Building was issued in the
name of the joint  venture  which owns the  property,  had an initial  principal
balance of  $8,750,000,  bears  interest at a rate of 8% per annum and  requires
monthly principal and interest payments of $68,000.  The loan, which is recorded
on the books of the  unconsolidated  joint  venture,  is  scheduled to mature on
December  10,  2002.  The   refinancing   transaction   required  a  paydown  of
approximately  $1.6 million on the outstanding  debt balance in order to satisfy
the lender's  loan-to-value ratio  requirements.  The Partnership had sufficient
funds  to  make  such a  principal  paydown  as a  result  of the  Willow  Grove
refinancing  transaction  described above. One Paragon Place was 98% occupied at
March 31, 1996.  The suburban  Richmond,  Virginia  office  market  continues to
strengthen with high occupancy  levels and improving rental rates as a result of
steady  job  and  population   growth  and  the  absence  of   significant   new
construction.  Recently,  the level of new  construction  activity has increased
somewhat with a number of build-to-suit and speculative buildings in the process
of being completed. Nonetheless, the market is projected to remain strong in the
near term, and One Paragon Place is expected to compete  favorably  against both
existing and new properties in its submarket.  During the quarter ended June 30,
1995,  one of the  major  tenants  of the  One  Paragon  Place  Office  Building
negotiated a buyout of its lease obligation with respect to over one-half of its
prior space of approximately  53,000 square feet,  which  represented 36% of the
building's  leasable area. Under the terms of the buyout  agreement,  the tenant
agreed to 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 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 has been used to cover the costs of re-leasing the space to
three new tenants  under  lease  agreements  signed  during the second and third
quarters of fiscal  1996.  As a result of the  strengthening  market  conditions
discussed above, on a combined basis the three new leases generate substantially
higher effective rents than the prior tenant was required to pay.

      At March 31,  1996,  the zero  coupon  loan  secured by the  Colony  Plaza
shopping center had an outstanding balance of $7,680,000.  The loan is scheduled
to mature in December of 1996, at which time  approximately  $8,290,000 would be
due. As previously reported, in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the Partnership
learned  that  Wal-Mart had made plans to build a  "Supercenter"  store at a new
location  in the  Augusta  market and to vacate its 82,000  square foot store at
Colony Plaza upon the completion of construction.  Wal-Mart  recently  announced
that they will close their Colony Plaza store in July 1996.  When  Wal-Mart does
vacate  the  center,  it will  remain  obligated  to pay rent  and its  share of
operating  expenses through the term of its lease,  which expires in March 2009.
However,  the loss of the center's principal anchor tenant will 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.
Subsequent  to  year-end,  the  Partnership  hired new property  management  and
leasing  agents to oversee this period of  restabilization  for the Colony Plaza
property.  The  property's  new  leasing  team has  begun to  contact  potential
replacement  tenants to initiate  discussions  regarding  the Wal-Mart  space at
Colony  Plaza.  Funds for any  anchor  tenant  leasing  activity  and a possible
repositioning  of the shopping  center  which might be part of any  re-tenanting
strategy would, for the most part, be expected to come from a negotiated  buyout
by Wal-Mart of its remaining lease obligation.  The new property management team
is also  actively  working with the  existing  tenants to attempt to ensure that
these tenants will sign renewals when their  current  leases  expire.  While the
status of the pending Wal-Mart relocation at Colony Plaza will make completing a
refinancing  transaction  more  difficult,  management  continues  to pursue its
refinancing plans.  Management is currently  investigating  possible alternative
financing sources to repay the outstanding debt obligation. The Partnership also
intends  to pursue  discussions  with the  existing  lender  regarding  possible
modification and extension options.

    The DeVargas Mall had an average  occupancy level of 90% for fiscal 1996, an
increase  from an average  occupancy  level of 86% for fiscal  1995.  During the
fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  1996,  management  signed a lease  with a  national
department  store retailer which will occupy 27,910 square feet at DeVargas,  or
approximately  11% of the  property's  leasable  area. To  accommodate  this new
anchor  tenant,  leases  with two  tenants  totalling  7,007  square  feet  were
terminated  and  two  additional  tenants  totalling  12,388  square  feet  were
relocated and downsized to spaces totalling 5,741 square feet. Currently,  there
are two  lease  proposals  pending  with  regard  to space  which  is  currently
available  and  space  that  will  become  available  over  the next  year,  for
approximately  20,000  square feet and 10,000 square feet,  respectively.  These
leases,  if  successfully  executed,   would  accomplish   management's  leasing
objectives  and  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  for the 27,910  square  foot lease  referred  to above and for any
significant  new leases will 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  currently pays
interest on such advances at the rate of prime plus 1% per annum.

      The  Partnership  has no  current  plans to  market  any of its  operating
investment  properties  for sale.  While the  estimated  market value of the One
Paragon Place Office Building has stabilized over the past two years, it remains
significantly  below the  acquisition  price paid by the  Partnership due to the
residual effects of the  overbuilding  which occurred in the late 1980's and the
trend toward corporate  downsizing and restructurings which occurred in the wake
of the last national  recession.  While the local market  conditions in Richmond
are  strengthening,  as discussed  further above,  it remains to be seen whether
office  building  values will fully  recover to their  levels of the late 1980's
within the Partnership's  remaining holding period. In addition,  at the present
time real estate  values for retail  shopping  centers in certain  markets  have
begun to be affected by the effects of  overbuilding  and  consolidations  among
retailers  which have  resulted in an  oversupply  of space.  As a result of the
current leasing status of the Partnership's two retail properties,  as discussed
further above,  management  believes that the values of both properties might be
significantly  enhanced in the near term if the  Partnership  is  successful  in
stabilizing  the respective  tenant rosters.  With respect to the  Partnership's
apartment  property,  while the market for sales of  multi-family  properties in
most markets has been strong over the past two years,  the Willow Grove property
is the  Partnership's  smallest  investment,  at 10% of the original  investment
portfolio,  and it generates a stable cash flow which contributes to the payment
of the Partnership's operating costs and operating cash flow distributions. As a
result,  the  Partnership  will most likely delay any active  sales  efforts for
Willow Grove until conditions  become more favorable for potential  dispositions
of the three commercial properties. Management's hold versus sell decisions will
continue to be based on an assessment of the best  expected  overall  returns to
the Limited Partners.

    During fiscal 1996, the Partnership  received  distributions  from operating
cash flow totalling approximately $3,231,000 from its four investment properties
(including approximately $1,262,000 from the consolidated joint ventures). These
property distributions  represent the primary source of future liquidity for the
Partnership  prior to the  sales or  refinancings  of its  operating  investment
properties. The Partnership's sources of liquidity are expected to be sufficient
to meet its needs on both a short-term and long-term  basis.  At March 31, 1996,
the Partnership and its  consolidated  joint venture had available cash and cash
equivalents of  approximately  $3,439,000.  These funds will be utilized for the
working capital  requirements  of the  Partnership,  distributions  to partners,
refinancing expenses related to the Partnership's remaining zero coupon loan 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
1996 Compared to 1995

     The Partnership reported a net loss of $73,000 for the year ended March 31,
1996,  as compared to a net loss of $827,000 for fiscal 1995.  This  decrease in
the  Partnership's  net loss is attributable to a decrease in the  Partnership's
operating  loss of  $766,000,  which was  partially  offset by a decrease in the
Partnership's  share  of  unconsolidated   ventures'  income  of  $12,000.   The
Partnership's  operating results in fiscal 1996 include the consolidated results
of the Willow Grove joint venture.  As discussed  further above, the Partnership
assumed  control  over the  affairs of the joint  venture  which owns the Willow
Grove  property as a result of the purchase of 99% of the  co-venture  partner's
interest and the assignment of its remaining  interest to Third Equity Partners,
Inc., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership.  As a result,  the fiscal
1996 financial  statements  reflect the  presentation  of the Willow Grove joint
venture on a consolidated  basis,  whereas the fiscal 1995 financial  statements
reflect the Partnership's  investment in Willow Grove under the equity method of
accounting.

    The Partnership's share of unconsolidated  ventures' income decreased due to
this change in the basis of presentation of the operating  results of the Willow
Grove  joint  venture  in  the  current  year.   The   Partnership's   share  of
unconsolidated ventures' income in the prior year includes $286,000 attributable
to the Willow Grove joint venture.  The  Partnership's  share of  unconsolidated
ventures'  income  excluding  Willow Grove  increased by $274,000 in the current
year  mainly due to  increases  in revenues  at both  DeVargas  Mall and the One
Paragon  Place Office  Building  which were  partially  offset by an increase in
interest expense.  DeVargas Mall's revenues increased,  in spite of an occupancy
level which  averaged 90% for both calendar  1995 and 1994,  due to increases in
minimum  rent,   percentage  rents  and  common  area  maintenance  and  utility
reimbursements.  One Paragon Place revenues  increased as a direct result of the
receipt of $500,000  for the lease  termination  from one of it's major  tenants
during the year,  as discussed  further  above.  Rental  income from One Paragon
Place,  excluding the lease termination fee, decreased slightly due to a decline
in  average  occupancy  which  reflects  the  temporary  vacancy  caused  by the
downsizing of this major tenant which occurred in the second quarter of calendar
1995.  Occupancy at One Paragon Place averaged 94% for calendar 1995 as compared
to 98% for calendar 1994. However, as noted above, by the end of fiscal 1996 the
vacant space had been re-leased  bringing the occupancy back up to 98%. Interest
expense  recognized by the  unconsolidated  joint ventures increased by $179,000
for calendar  1995,  primarily  due to the new loan  obtained by the One Paragon
Place joint venture in the current year, as more fully  discussed  above,  and a
combination of increases in the variable interest rate and additional borrowings
at the  DeVargas  joint  venture  to pay  for  tenant  improvement  and  capital
enhancement work at the property.

    The Partnership's  operating loss decreased mainly due to a combination of a
decrease  in  interest  expense and the  inclusion  in the  current  year of the
operations of the Willow Grove joint venture. Interest expense recognized by the
Partnership  and its  consolidated  joint ventures  decreased by $244,000 in the
current year due to the  refinancing and payoff of the zero coupon loans secured
by Willow Grove and One Paragon  Place in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1995 and
the third quarter of fiscal 1996,  respectively,  as more fully discussed above.
Operations  of the Willow  Grove  joint  venture,  excluding  interest  expense,
remained relatively  unchanged from calendar 1994 as a slight increase in rental
revenues was offset by increases  in  administrative  and  marketing  costs.  An
increase in interest  income and an increase in net income from the Colony Plaza
joint venture also  contributed  to the favorable  change in operating  loss for
fiscal 1996. Interest income increased by $133,000 as a result of higher average
outstanding  cash balances  combined with an increase in average interest rates.
Net income from Colony Plaza  increased by $93,000  mainly due to an increase in
revenues and  decreases in  depreciation  charges and bad debt  expense.  Rental
income and expense  reimbursements from Colony Plaza increased by 2.5% due to an
increase in average  occupancy  from 96% for  calendar  1994 to 97% for calendar
1995. The venture's  depreciation  charges declined because certain fixtures and
equipment became fully depreciated in the current year.

1995 Compared to 1994

    The Partnership reported a net loss of $827,000 for the year ended March 31,
1995, as compared to a net loss of  $1,156,000  in fiscal 1994.  The decrease in
net loss can be primarily  attributed to an increase in rental revenues from the
consolidated  Colony  Plaza joint  venture and an increase in the  Partnership's
share of  unconsolidated  ventures'  income.  The increase in rental revenues at
Colony  Plaza,  of  $129,000,  was mainly due to the full 12 month effect of the
leasing  gains  achieved at the center  during  fiscal 1994.  Colony Plaza began
calendar 1993 with an occupancy level of 91%.  Occupancy had increased to 96% by
the  beginning of calendar  1994 and  remained at 96%  throughout  the year.  An
increase in interest  expense of $165,000  offset the  increase in Colony  Plaza
revenues  and  caused  an  increase  in  the  Partnership's  operating  loss  of
approximately  $42,000 for fiscal 1995.  Interest  expense on the  Partnership's
zero coupon loans continued to increase in fiscal 1995 due to the effects of the
semi-annual compounding.

    The  Partnership's  share of  unconsolidated  ventures'  income increased by
$371,000  over  fiscal  1994.  Improved  operating  results at the Willow  Grove
Apartments and the One Paragon Place Office Building  contributed  significantly
to this  favorable  change.  The  increased  occupancy  and rental rates at both
properties were the primary  contributors  to the $419,000  increase in combined
rental  revenues  for calendar  1994.  In  addition,  the calendar  1993 results
reflected  a  $236,000  loss on  disposal  of tenant  improvements  from the One
Paragon Place joint venture due to certain  tenants  vacating the property prior
to their lease  expirations.  No such losses were  reported for  calendar  1994.
Although  revenues at DeVargas Mall did increase slightly over calendar 1993, an
increase in expenses more than offset the revenue gains  contributing to a lower
net income in calendar  1994.  Interest  expense  showed the sharpest  rise over
calendar  1993 as a result  of the  higher  outstanding  balances  on the  joint
venture's  line of credit  borrowings  referred to above.  Borrowings  under the
lines of credit from the co-venturer for calendar 1994 totalled approximately $1
million,  which was used to fund costs  associated with tenant  improvements and
leasing expenses at the property.  Depreciation expense at the DeVargas Mall and
the One Paragon Office  Building also  increased as a result of the  significant
property and tenant improvements that took place in both years.

1994 Compared to 1993

     The  Partnership's  net loss increased by $530,000 for the year ended March
31, 1994 when  compared to fiscal 1993.  This change was the result of a decline
in the Partnership's  share of  unconsolidated  ventures' income coupled with an
increase in the operating loss of the Partnership.

     The increase in the Partnership's  operating loss of $93,000 was mainly the
result of an increase in interest expense on the Partnership's zero coupon loans
combined with a decrease in revenues. Interest expense on the Partnership's zero
coupon loans  increased by $120,000  during  fiscal 1994 due to the  semi-annual
compounding  effect  referred to above.  Revenues  decreased due to a decline in
rental  revenues at the Colony Plaza Shopping  Center and a decrease in interest
income due to lower  average cash  balances  and interest  rates in fiscal 1994.
Rental  revenues  decreased  slightly  at Colony  Plaza,  despite an increase in
occupancy,  due to a small  decline in market  rental  rates.  Nonetheless,  the
property's  tenant  roster  stabilized  during  fiscal 1994, as evidenced by the
decline in bad debt expense.  In fact, revenues net of bad debt expense actually
increased when compared to fiscal 1993. An increase in  Partnership  general and
administrative  expenses also  contributed  to the increase in operating loss in
fiscal 1994.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately
$31,000,  mainly due to certain costs incurred in connection with an independent
valuation of the  Partnership's  operating  properties which was commissioned in
conjunction with management's ongoing refinancing efforts.

     The  Partnership's  share of  unconsolidated  ventures' income decreased by
approximately  $437,000  when  compared to fiscal 1993. A large  portion of this
decline  was the result of a decrease in combined  rental  revenues.  At the One
Paragon Place Office  Building,  rental revenues were lower during calendar 1993
partly due to the full  twelve-month  effect of a number of lease rollovers that
were renewed at market rents during  calendar 1992. As of calendar 1992,  market
rents had declined  significantly  in the Richmond  market since the time of the
property's acquisition.  The large decrease in revenues at One Paragon Place was
partially  offset by an  increase in rental  revenues  at both the Willow  Grove
Apartments and DeVargas Mall. In addition, combined operating expenses increased
for calendar  1993 due to generally  higher  repairs and  maintenance  expenses.
Also,  depreciation  expense  increased  mainly due to charges related to tenant
improvement costs capitalized at the One Paragon Place joint venture during both
years.

Inflation

    The Partnership completed its eighth full year of operations in fiscal 1996.
The effects of inflation  and changes in prices on the  Partnership's  operating
results to date have not been significant.

    Inflation  in future  periods may  increase  revenues  as well as  operating
expenses  at the  Partnership's  operating  investment  properties.  Some of the
existing leases with tenants at the  Partnership's  three commercial  investment
properties contain rental escalation and/or expense  reimbursement clauses based
on increases in tenant sales or property operating expenses. Rental rates at the
Partnership's one residential  investment  property can be adjusted to keep pace
with inflation,  to the extent market conditions allow, as the leases, which are
short-term  in nature,  are renewed or turned  over.  Such  increases  in rental
income  would  be  expected  to at  least  partially  offset  the  corresponding
increases in Partnership and property operating expenses.

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and ten-percent
beneficial  holders are required by SEC  regulations to furnish the  Partnership
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

    Based  solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received by it, the
Partnership  believes  that,  during the year ended March 31,  1996,  all filing
requirements  applicable to the officers and  directors of the Managing  General
Partner and ten-percent beneficial holders were complied with.


<PAGE>


Item 11.  Executive Compensation

    The directors and officers of the  Partnership's  Managing  General  Partner
receive no current or proposed remuneration from the Partnership.

    The General  Partners  are entitled to receive a share of  Partnership  cash
distributions  and a share of profits and losses.  These items are  described in
Item 13.

    The  Partnership  paid  cash  distributions  to the  Limited  Partners  on a
quarterly  basis at a rate of 8% per annum on invested  capital  from  inception
through the quarter  ended  September  30, 1991 and at a rate of 5% per annum on
invested  capital from October 1, 1991 to June 30, 1994.  Starting July 1, 1994,
cash distributions have been paid at a rate of 2% per annum on invested capital.
However, the Partnership's  Limited Partnership Units are not actively traded on
any organized  exchange and,  accordingly,  no accurate price information exists
for these Units.  Therefore,  a  presentation  of  historical  Unitholder  total
returns would not be meaningful.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

    (a) The  Partnership  is a  limited  partnership  issuing  Units of  limited
partnership  interest,  not voting securities.  All the outstanding stock of the
Managing  General  Partner  and  PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc.  is  owned  by
PaineWebber.  Properties Associates 1988 L.P. is a Virginia limited partnership,
certain  limited  partners of which are also  officers of the  Managing  General
Partner. No limited partner is known by the Partnership to own beneficially more
than 5% of the outstanding interests of the Partnership.

    (b) The  directors  and  officers  of the  Managing  General  Partner do not
directly own any Units of limited  partnership  interest of the Partnership.  No
director or officer of the Managing General Partner or PaineWebber Partnerships,
Inc., nor any limited partner of Properties  Associates 1988, L.P.,  possesses a
right to acquire beneficial  ownership of Units of limited partnership  interest
of the Partnership.

    (c) There exists no arrangement,  known to the Partnership, the operation of
which  may,  at a  subsequent  date,  result  in a  change  in  control  of  the
Partnership.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

       The General  Partners of the  Partnership  are Third  Equity  Partners,
Inc.  (the  "Managing  General   Partner"),   a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of
PaineWebber Group Inc.  ("PaineWebber"),  PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc. and
Properties  Associates  1988 L.P.  PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc.  is also a
wholly owned  subsidiary of PaineWebber and Properties  Associates  1988, L.P.
is  a  Virginia  limited  partnership.   The  general  partner  of  Properties
Associates  1988,  L.P. is PAM Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary of PaineWebber
Properties  Incorporated ("PWPI").  The officers of PaineWebber  Partnerships,
Inc.  and  PAM  Inc.  are  also  officers  of the  Managing  General  Partner.
Affiliates  of  the  General  Partners  will  receive  fees  and  compensation
determined on an  agreed-upon  basis,  in  consideration  of various  services
performed  in  connection  with the  sale of the  Units  and the  acquisition,
management,   financing  and  disposition  of  Partnership   properties.   The
Managing  General  Partner and its  affiliates are reimbursed for their direct
expenses  relating  to  the  offering  of  Units,  the  administration  of the
Partnership and the acquisition and operations of the Partnership's  operating
property investments.

     In connection with the acquisition of properties, PWPI received acquisition
fees totalling 5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Partnership Units. PWPI
earned  acquisition fees totalling  approximately  $2,523,000.  Acquisition fees
have been  capitalized as part of the cost of the investment on the accompanying
balance sheet.


All  distributable  cash,  as  defined,  for each  fiscal  year  shall  first be
distributed  quarterly in the ratio of 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General  Partners until the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to an
8% noncumulative annual return on their adjusted capital  contributions  through
December 31, 1989 and 7.5% on the adjusted capital contributions thereafter. The
General  Partners  will then receive  distributions  until they have received an
amount equal to 1.01% of all distributions to all partners and PWPI has received
Asset Management Fees equal to 3.99% of all  distributions to all partners.  The
balance will be distributed  95% to the Limited  Partners,  1.01% to the General
Partners and 3.99% to PWPI as its Asset  Management  Fee. Asset  Management Fees
are recorded as an expense on the Partnership's  statement of operations,  while
the  distributions to the General Partners and the Limited Partners are recorded
as reductions to their  respective  capital  accounts on the balance sheet.  All
sale or refinancing  proceeds shall be distributed in varying proportions to the
Limited and General Partners, as specified in the Partnership Agreement.


Taxable income (other than from capital  transactions) in each taxable year will
be allocated to the Limited  Partners and the General  Partners in proportion to
the amounts of  distributable  cash  distributed to them in, or with respect to,
that year. If there are no  distributions  of  distributable  cash, then taxable
income shall be allocated 98.94802625% to the Limited Partners and 1.0519375% to
the General Partners. All tax losses (other than from capital transactions) will
be allocated  98.94802625% to the Limited Partners and 1.0519375% to the General
Partners.  Taxable  income or tax loss  arising  from a sale or  refinancing  of
investment properties shall be allocated to the Limited Partners and the General
Partners in proportion to the amounts of sale or  refinancing  proceeds to which
they are  entitled;  provided  that the General  Partners  shall be allocated at
least 1% of taxable income,  gain, loss, deduction or credit arising from a sale
or  refinancing.  If  there  are no sale or  refinancing  proceeds,  tax loss or
taxable income from a sale or refinancing  shall be allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners  and 1% to  the  General  Partner.  Allocations  of  the  Partnership's
operations  between the General  Partners and the Limited Partners for financial
accounting purposes have been made in conformity with the allocations of taxable
income or tax loss.

       PWPI has specific management  responsibilities;  to administer day-to-day
operations of the Partnership, and to report periodically the performance of the
Partnership to the Managing  General  Partner.  PWPI is paid an asset management
fee, as described  above, for services  rendered.  As a result of a reduction in
the  distributions  to the Limited  Partners in fiscal 1992, PWPI has not earned
any asset management fees since May of 1991. In connection with the sale of each
property,  PWPI may receive a disposition fee as calculated per the terms of the
Partnership Agreement.


An affiliate of the Managing General Partner performs  certain  accounting,  tax
preparation, securities law compliance and investor communications and relations
services  for the  Partnership.  The total costs  incurred by this  affiliate in
providing  such services are allocated  among  several  entities,  including the
Partnership.  Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended
March 31, 1996 is $99,000,  representing reimbursements to this affiliate of the
Managing General Partner for providing such services to the Partnership.


The Partnership uses the services of Mitchell Hutchins Institutional  Investors,
Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") for the managing of cash assets. Mitchell Hutchins is
a subsidiary of Mitchell  Hutchins  Asset  Management,  Inc.,  an  independently
operated  subsidiary of  PaineWebber.  Mitchell  Hutchins  earned fees of $7,000
(included in general and administrative expenses) for managing the Partnership's
cash assets for the year ended March 31, 1996. Fees charged by Mitchell Hutchins
are based on a percentage of invested  cash  reserves  which varies based on the
total amount of invested cash which Mitchell Hutchins manages on behalf of PWPI.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To The Partners
PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership:

   We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of PaineWebber
Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related  consolidated  statements of  operations,  changes in partners'  capital
(deficit),  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March
31, 1996. Our audits also included the financial  statement  schedule  listed in
the  Index at Item  14(a).  These  financial  statements  and  schedule  are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these  financial  statements and schedule based on our audits.  We
did not audit the  financial  statements  of the DeVargas  Center Joint  Venture
(DeVargas) (an unconsolidated  venture) or the Colony Plaza General  Partnership
(Colony Plaza) (a consolidated venture). The Partnership's  financial statements
reflect the Partnership's  equity investment in DeVargas and the total assets of
Colony Plaza on a combined  basis of  $18,867,000  and  $20,064,000 at March 31,
1996 and 1995,  respectively,  and the  Partnership's  equity in  DeVargas'  net
income and Colony's net income on a combined basis of $1,143,000, $1,011,000 and
$968,000 for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Those
statements  were audited by other  auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us, and our  opinion,  insofar as it relates to data  included  for DeVargas and
Colony Plaza, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We   believe   that our  audits and the  reports  of other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion,  based on our audits and the reports of other  auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited
Partnership  at March 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion,
based on our audits  and the report of other  auditors,  the  related  financial
statement  schedule,   when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements  taken as a whole,  presents  fairly  in all  material  respects  the
information set forth therein.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




DeVargas Center Joint Venture:

   We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of DeVargas  Center Joint
Venture (the "Joint  Venture") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements  of income,  venturers'  capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial  statements are the
responsibility  of the Joint  Venture's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the financial  position of the Joint Venture at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1995 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of Colony Plaza General Partnership

   In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of changes in partners' capital and of cash flows present fairly, in
all  material   respects,   the  financial  position  of  Colony  Plaza  General
Partnership (the  "Partnership")  at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of its  operations  and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  December 31, 1995,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.   These  financial   statements  are  the   responsibility   of  the
Partnership's  management;  our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these
statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  which
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion expressed above.

   The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared  assuming that the
Partnership  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  described in Note 6 to the
financial  statements,   the  Partnership's  operating  investment  property  is
encumbered  by a note payable  which matures on December 29, 1996, at which time
the entire note will become payable.  Management is currently  negotiating  with
the lender  regarding an extension of this loan and is also pursing  alternative
financing  sources.  If  the  refinancing  or  extension  of  this  loan  is not
accomplished  by the stated  maturity  date, the lender could choose to initiate
foreclosure  proceedings.   This  matter  raises  substantial  doubt  about  the
Partnership's  ability to continue  as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in
regard to this matter are described in Note 6. The  financial  statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

              PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization

       PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
    is a  limited  partnership  organized  pursuant  to the laws of the State of
    Virginia in May 1987 for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio
    of  existing,   newly-constructed  or  to-be-built   income-producing   real
    properties.  The  Partnership  authorized the issuance of Partnership  Units
    (the "Units") at $1,000 per Unit, of which 50,468 were subscribed and issued
    between January 1988 and September 1989.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
    basis  of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
    principles which requires  management to make estimates and assumptions that
    affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosures of
    contingent assets and liabilities as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 and revenues
    and expenses for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996.
    Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

       At March 31, 1996,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  include the
    Partnership's  investment in two unconsolidated  joint venture  partnerships
    (three at March 31,  1995) each of which  owns an  operating  property.  The
    Partnership  accounts  for  its  investments  in  the  unconsolidated  joint
    ventures  using the equity  method  because  the  Partnership  does not have
    majority voting control. Under the equity method the ventures are carried at
    cost  adjusted  for the  Partnership's  share of the  ventures'  earnings or
    losses  and  distributions.   All  of  the   unconsolidated   joint  venture
    partnerships are required to maintain their accounting records on a calendar
    year basis for income tax reporting  purposes.  As a result, the Partnership
    recognizes its share of the earnings or losses from the unconsolidated joint
    ventures based on financial  information which is three months in arrears to
    that of the Partnership.  See Note 4 for a description of the unconsolidated
    joint venture partnerships.

       As further discussed in Note 5, in January 1995, the Partnership acquired
    99% of the  co-venturer's  interest in Portland  Pacific  Associates  Two in
    return for a cash payment of approximately $233,000. The remaining 1% of the
    co-venture  partner's interest was assigned to Third Equity Partners,  Inc.,
    the  Managing  General  Partner  of the  Partnership.  As a  result  of this
    transaction,  the  Partnership  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  beginning in
    fiscal 1996.

       Operating  investment  properties at March 31, 1996  represents  the real
    estate  assets of Colony Plaza  General  Partnership  and  Portland  Pacific
    Associates  Two (only Colony  Plaza at March 31,  1995),  joint  ventures in
    which the Partnership has a controlling  interest.  For financial  reporting
    purposes the joint ventures are consolidated with the Partnership. The joint
    ventures  have a  December  31  year-end  for  tax and  financial  reporting
    purposes.  As a result,  the  Partnership  also  reports  the results of the
    consolidated  joint ventures based on financial  information of the ventures
    which is three  months in arrears to that of the  Partnership.  All material
    transactions  between  the  Partnership  and the  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 sheets.

       The consolidated operating investment properties are carried at the lower
    of cost,  reduced by certain  guaranteed  master lease payments (see Note 5)
    and accumulated  depreciation,  or net realizable  value. The net realizable
    value of a property  held for long-term  investment  purposes is measured by
    the  recoverability of the Partnership's  investment through expected future
    cash flows on an undiscounted basis, which may exceed the property's current
    market  value.  The  net  realizable  value  of a  property  held  for  sale
    approximates  its current market value,  as determined on a discounted  cash
    flow basis. The operating  investment property was considered to be held for
    long-term investment purposes as of March 31, 1996 and 1995.

       In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No.  121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and for
    Long-Lived  Assets To Be Disposed  Of"  ("Statement  121"),  which  requires
    impairment  losses to be recorded on  long-lived  assets used in  operations
    when  indicators of impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows
    estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
    amount.  Statement 121 also addresses the  accounting for long-lived  assets
    that  are  expected  to be  disposed  of.  Statement  121 is  effective  for
    financial  statements  for years  beginning  after  December 15,  1995.  The
    Partnership  will adopt  Statement 121 in fiscal 1997 and,  based on current
    circumstances,  does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on
    results of operations or financial position.

       Depreciation expense is generally computed using the straight-line method
    over an estimated  useful life of the buildings,  improvements and furniture
    and equipment,  generally five to forty years.  Certain of the  improvements
    and furniture and equipment is depreciated using either the double-declining
    balance or 150% declining balance and  straight-line  methods over estimated
    useful  lives  of five to  twenty  years.  Costs  and  fees  (including  the
    acquisition  fee paid to PWPI)  related to the  acquisition  of the property
    have  been  capitalized  and  are  included  in the  cost  of the  operating
    investment  property.  Minor  maintenance and repair expenses are charged to
    expense.  Major  improvements  are  capitalized.   Tenant  improvements  are
    capitalized and amortized over the term of the respective lease agreements.

       Deferred  expenses  include legal fees of $49,000  incurred in connection
    with the  organization  of the  Partnership.  These expenses have been fully
    amortized  using the  straight-line  method over a  sixty-month  term. As of
    March 31, 1996 and 1995,  deferred  expenses also include  costs  associated
    with  the  notes  payable  described  in Note 6 of  $500,000  and  $425,000,
    respectively,  and  leasing  commissions  associated  with the Colony  Plaza
    operating investment property of $42,000 and $30,000, respectively. Deferred
    loan  costs are being  amortized  using the  straight-line  method  over the
    respective terms of the notes payable. Such amortization expense is included
    in interest  expense on the accompanying  statements of operations.  Leasing
    commissions  are amortized using the  straight-line  method over the term of
    the lease, generally 3 - 5 years.

       For purposes of  reporting  cash flows,  the  Partnership  considers  all
    highly liquid investments with original  maturities of 90 days or less to be
    cash equivalents.

       No provision  for income taxes has been made.  The  liability  for income
    taxes is that of the individual partners rather than the Partnership.

       The cash and cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable and all liabilities
    appearing  on  the  accompanying   consolidated   balance  sheets  represent
    financial  instruments  for purposes of  Statement  of Financial  Accounting
    Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments."
    With the  exception  of notes  payable and accrued  interest,  the  carrying
    amount of these assets and liabilities  approximates their fair value due to
    the  short-term  maturities  of these  instruments.  The fair value of notes
    payable  and  accrued  interest  is  estimated  using  discounted  cash flow
    analysis,  based on the current  market rates for similar types of borrowing
    arrangements.

       Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
    current year presentation.

3.  The Partnership Agreement and Related Party Transactions

       The General  Partners of the  Partnership  are Third  Equity  Partners,
    Inc.  (the  "Managing  General  Partner"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
    PaineWebber Group Inc.  ("PaineWebber"),  PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc.
    and Properties  Associates  1988 L.P.  PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc. is
    also a wholly owned  subsidiary of PaineWebber  and Properties  Associates
    1988,  L.P. is a Virginia  limited  partnership.  The  general  partner of
    Properties  Associates  1988, L.P. is PAM Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary
    of  PaineWebber   Properties   Incorporated   ("PWPI").  The  officers  of
    PaineWebber  Partnerships,  Inc.  and PAM Inc.  are also  officers  of the
    Managing  General  Partner.   Affiliates  of  the  General  Partners  will
    receive fees and  compensation  determined  on an  agreed-upon  basis,  in
    consideration  of various  services  performed in connection with the sale
    of the Units and the  acquisition,  management,  financing and disposition
    of  Partnership   properties.   The  Managing   General  Partner  and  its
    affiliates  are  reimbursed  for their  direct  expenses  relating  to the
    offering  of  Units,  the   administration  of  the  Partnership  and  the
    acquisition   and   operations   of  the   Partnership's   real   property
    investments.

       In  connection  with  the   acquisition  of  properties,   PWPI  received
    acquisition  fees  totalling  5% of the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale of
    Partnership  Units.  PWPI earned  acquisition  fees totalling  approximately
    $2,523,000.  Acquisition  fees have been  capitalized as part of the cost of
    the investment on the accompanying balance sheet.

       All distributable  cash, as defined,  for each fiscal year shall first be
    distributed  quarterly in the ratio of 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to
    the General  Partners  until the Limited  Partners  have  received an amount
    equal  to an 8%  noncumulative  annual  return  on  their  adjusted  capital
    contributions  through  December 31, 1989 and 7.5% of the  adjusted  capital
    contributions   thereafter.   The  General   Partners   will  then   receive
    distributions  until  they have  received  an  amount  equal to 1.01% of all
    distributions  to all partners and PWPI has received Asset  Management  Fees
    equal to 3.99% of all  distributions  to all  partners.  The balance will be
    distributed 95% to the Limited  Partners,  1.01% to the General Partners and
    3.99%  to PWPI as its  Asset  Management  Fee.  Asset  Management  Fees  are
    recorded as an expense on the Partnership's  statement of operations,  while
    the  distributions  to the General  Partners  and the Limited  Partners  are
    recorded as reductions to their  respective  capital accounts on the balance
    sheet.  All sale or  refinancing  proceeds  shall be  distributed in varying
    proportions  to the  Limited  and  General  Partners,  as  specified  in the
    Partnership Agreement.

       Taxable  income  (other than from capital  transactions)  in each taxable
    year will be allocated to the Limited  Partners and the General  Partners in
    proportion to the amounts of  distributable  cash distributed to them in, or
    with respect to, that year. If there are no  distributions  of distributable
    cash,  then taxable  income shall be allocated  98.94802625%  to the Limited
    Partners and 1.0519375% to the General Partners.  All tax losses (other than
    from capital  transactions)  will be allocated  98.94802625%  to the Limited
    Partners and 1.0519375% to the General Partners.  Taxable income or tax loss
    arising  from a sale  or  refinancing  of  investment  properties  shall  be
    allocated to the Limited  Partners and the General Partners in proportion to
    the  amounts of sale or  refinancing  proceeds  to which they are  entitled;
    provided that the General Partners shall be allocated at least 1% of taxable
    income,  gain, loss, deduction or credit arising from a sale or refinancing.
    If there are no sale or  refinancing  proceeds,  tax loss or taxable  income
    from a sale or  refinancing  shall be allocated 99% to the Limited  Partners
    and 1% to the General Partner.  Allocations of the Partnership's  operations
    between  the  General  Partners  and  the  Limited  Partners  for  financial
    accounting  purposes have been made in conformity  with the  allocations  of
    taxable income or tax loss.

       PWPI has specific management  responsibilities;  to administer day-to-day
    operations of the Partnership, and to report periodically the performance of
    the  Partnership  to the  Managing  General  Partner.  PWPI is paid an asset
    management fee, as described above, for services rendered.  As a result of a
    reduction in the  distributions to the Limited Partners in fiscal 1992, PWPI
    has not earned any asset  management  fees since May of 1991.  In connection
    with the  sale of each  property,  PWPI may  receive  a  disposition  fee as
    calculated per the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

       Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended March
    31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 is $99,000,  $102,000 and  $105,000,  respectively,
    representing  reimbursements to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner
    for  providing  certain  financial,  accounting  and investor  communication
    services to the Partnership.

       The  Partnership  uses the  services of Mitchell  Hutchins  Institutional
    Investors,  Inc.  ("Mitchell  Hutchins")  for the  managing of cash  assets.
    Mitchell  Hutchins is a subsidiary of Mitchell  Hutchins  Asset  Management,
    Inc., an independently operated subsidiary of PaineWebber. Mitchell Hutchins
    earned  fees  of  $7,000,   $6,000  and  $4,000  (included  in  general  and

    years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.  Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Venture Partnerships

       The  Partnership has  investments in two  unconsolidated  joint ventures,
    (three at March 31,  1995),  which are accounted for on the equity method in
    the  Partnership's  financial  statements.  As discussed  further in Note 5,
    during the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Partnership  obtained  control
    over the affairs of Portland  Pacific  Associates  Two which owns the Willow
    Grove  Apartments.   Accordingly,  the  joint  venture  is  presented  on  a
    consolidated  basis  beginning in fiscal  1996.  As discussed in Note 2, the
    unconsolidated joint ventures report their operations on a calendar year.

       Condensed combined financial statements of these joint ventures,  for the
    periods indicated, are as follows.

(1) At March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership's  investment  exceeds its share
    of  the  joint   venture   capital   accounts  by  $439,000  and   $472,000,
    respectively.  This  amount,  which  represents  expenses  incurred  by  the
    Partnership  in connection  with acquiring its joint venture  interests,  is
    being amortized on a straight-line  basis over the estimated  useful life of
    the related investment properties.

(2) The timing differences between the Partnership's share of venturers' capital
    and its investments in joint ventures consist of capital  contributions made
    to the joint  ventures and cash  distributions  received from joint ventures
    during the period from January 1 to March 31 in each year. These differences
    result from the lag in reporting period discussed in Note 2. The majority of
    the  timing   difference  in  fiscal  1995  can  be  attributed  to  a  cash
    distribution  from  Portland  Pacific  Associates  Two in the net  amount of
    $3,522,000 from the March 1995  refinancing  transaction  discussed  further
    below and in Note 6.

    Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, at equity is the Partnership's
net  investment  in the joint  venture  partnerships.  These joint  ventures are
subject to partnership  agreements which determine the distribution of available
funds,  the disposition of the ventures'  assets and the rights of the partners,
regardless of the Partnership's percentage ownership interest in the venture. As
a result,  substantially  all of the  Partnership's  investments  in these joint
ventures are restricted as to distributions.

    A description of the ventures' properties and the terms of the joint venture
agreements are summarized as follows:

    DeVargas Center Joint Venture

     On April 19, 1988 the  Partnership  acquired an interest in DeVargas Center
Joint  Venture  (the  "joint  venture"),  a Texas  Joint  Venture  organized  in
accordance  with  a  joint  venture   agreement   between  the  Partnership  and
WRI/DeVargas  Inc. (the  "co-venturer").  The joint venture was organized to own
and operate the DeVargas Mall, an existing retail shopping mall located in Santa
Fe, New Mexico.  The  property  consists of  approximately  248,000 net rentable
square feet on  approximately  18.3 acres of land. The aggregate cash investment
by the Partnership for its investment was $11,354,960  (including an acquisition
fee of  $505,000  paid to PWPI  and  certain  closing  costs  of  $49,960).  The
Partnership's co-venture partner is an affiliate of Weingarten Realty Investors.

    Per the terms of the joint venture agreement,  net cash flow from operations
of the joint venture will be distributed in the following order of priority: (1)
the  Partnership  and  co-venturer  will each be  repaid  accrued  interest  and
principal on any optional loans made to the joint venture,  (2) the  Partnership
will receive a cumulative  preference return payable each quarter,  of 8% annual
simple interest on its capital contribution of $10,800,000,  (3) the co-venturer
will receive a  cumulative  return of 8% annual  simple  interest on its capital
contribution of $3,285,000,  (4)  thereafter,  any remainder will be distributed
50% to the Partnership and 50% to the co-venturer.

    Proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the property will be distributed in
the following order of priority:  (1) the Partnership will receive the aggregate
amount of its cumulative 8% annual preferred return not previously paid, (2) the
co-venturer will receive its unpaid 8% cumulative preference (3) the Partnership
will  receive  an amount  equal to the  Partnership's  net  investment,  (4) the
co-venturer will receive an amount equal to the co-venturer's net investment (5)
the Partnership and co-venturer will each receive proceeds equal to 10% of their
capital   contributions,   (6)  thereafter,   any  remaining  proceeds  will  be
distributed 50% to the Partnership and 50% to the co-venturer.

    Taxable  income from  operations  will be allocated to the  Partnership  and
co-venturer  in the same  proportion  as cash  distributions  with any remaining
income being allocated 50% to the Partnership  and 50% to the  co-venturer.  Tax
losses from  operations  will be allocated to the Partnership and co-venturer to
the  extent  of and in the ratio of their  positive  capital  balances  with any
remaining  losses  being  allocated  50%  to  the  Partnership  and  50%  to the
co-venturer.  Net  income  or loss for  financial  reporting  purposes  has been
allocated in accordance with the allocations of taxable income or tax loss.

    The joint  venture  has entered  into a  management  contract  and a leasing
contract with an affiliate of the co-venturer which is cancellable at the option
of the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain events.  The annual management
fee is 4% of gross rents collected and a 4% commission on any new leases.

    The  co-venturer has issued two  nonrecourse  promissory  notes to the joint
venture to finance the leasing and  operations of the Mall. The first note dated
January 1990 was  originally  due January 1996, it was refinanced and is now due
January  1997,  allows  the joint  venture  to borrow up to  $5,000,000  to fund
capital costs associated with leasing of the shopping  center.  The second note,
dated November  1992,  allows the joint venture to borrow up to $553,000 to fund
capital  costs  associated  with an  expansion  and  additional  leasing  of the
shopping  center.  Both notes bear interest at 1% above the floating  prime rate
established by Texas  Commerce Bank National  Association.  Outstanding  accrued
interest  on the  first  note is due and  payable  on a monthly  basis  with the
principal due January 1997. Principal payments of $4,608 and accrued interest on
the  second  note is due and  payable  on a monthly  basis,  with the  remaining
accrued  interest and principal due November  2002. As of December 31, 1995, the
principal   balances  of  the  notes  payable  to  the  co-venturer   aggregated
$3,018,000.

    Richmond Paragon Partnership

     On September  26, 1988,  the  Partnership  acquired an interest in Richmond
Paragon  Partnership,  a Virginia general partnership that owns and operates One
Paragon Place, a six-story office building located on approximately 8.2 acres of
land in Richmond,  Virginia with 146,614  square feet of net leasable  area. The
Partnership  is a general  partner  in the joint  venture.  The  aggregate  cash
investment by the Partnership  for its investment was $21,108,383  (including an
acquisition  fee of  $1,031,000  paid to  PWPI  and  certain  closing  costs  of
$42,447).  The Partnership's  co-venture  partner is an affiliate of The Paragon
Group.  On  November  16,  1995,  a zero  coupon  loan issued in the name of the
Partnership  and secured by a mortgage on One Paragon Place was refinanced  with
the  proceeds  of a  seven-year  $8,750,000  loan  issued  in  the  name  of the
unconsolidated  Richmond  Paragon  Partnership (see Note 6). The net proceeds of
the loan  issued to the joint  venture in fiscal  1996 were  distributed  to the
Partnership.

     Per the terms of the joint venture agreement, net cash flow from operations
of the joint venture is to be distributed as follows:  (1) the Partnership shall
receive a cumulative  annual  preferred  return payable monthly equal to 9.0% on
the Partnership's Net Investment of $20,000,000  ("the  Partnership's  Preferred
Return"), (2) the Partnership and the co-venturer will receive a return equal to
the prime rate of interest plus 1% on any additional capital  contributions,  as
defined,  and (3) any additional  net cash flow will be  distributed  75% to the
Partnership and 25% to the co-venturer.

    Taxable income from  operations will be allocated in accordance with the net
cash flow  distributions  described  above.  Tax losses from  operations will be
allocated  to the  Partnership  and  the  co-venturer  in  proportion  to  their
respective  positive  capital  accounts up to the sum of such  positive  capital
accounts and thereafter 75% to the Partnership and 25% to the co-venturer.

5.  Operating investment properties

     At March 31, 1996, the  Partnership's  balance sheet includes two operating
investment  properties  (one at March 31, 1995);  Colony Plaza Shopping  Center,
owned by Colony Plaza General Partnership and Willow Grove Apartments,  owned by
Portland Pacific Associates Two. On January 27, 1995, the Partnership  purchased
99% of the co-venture  partner's interest in Portland Pacific Associates Two for
$233,000.  As a result, the Partnership  assumed control over the affairs of the
joint venture. Accordingly, beginning in fiscal 1996, the financial position and
the results of  operations  of the Willow Grove joint venture are presented on a
consolidated basis in the Partnership's financial statements.  The Partnership's
policy is to report the  operations of these  consolidated  joint  ventures on a
three-month lag.

     Colony Plaza General Partnership

     Colony Plaza General  Partnership  was formed to acquire and operate Colony
Plaza Shopping  Center  located in Augusta,  Georgia.  The shopping  center is a
217,000 square foot complex which was acquired by the Partnership on January 18,
1990. Wyatt Ventures, Inc.  ("Co-Venturer") and the Partnership are the partners
of  Colony  Plaza  General  Partnership.  The  Partnership  has a 99%  ownership
interest in the  General  Partnership  and the  Co-Venturer  has a 1%  ownership
interest in the General  Partnership.  The  Partnership  purchased the operating
investment  property for $13,889,890  (including an acquisition fee paid to PWPI
of $653,000 and $176,890 of closing costs) from Wyatt  Development  Company,  an
affiliate of the Co-Venturer. The property is encumbered by a mortgage loan with
an outstanding balance of $7,680,000 as of March 31, 1996. This mortgage loan is
scheduled to mature on December 29, 1996 (see Note 6).

     Taxable  income from  operations  (other than gains  resulting from sale or
disposition  of the  property)  shall be  allocated to the  Partnership  and the
Co-Venturer to the extent of cash distributions paid to the partners for a given
fiscal year and in the same ratio as those distribution  payments.  In the event
that there are no distributable  funds,  taxable income will be allocated 99% to
the Partnership and 1% to the Co-Venturer. Tax losses from the operations of the
shopping  center (other than from sale or  disposition)  shall be allocated each
fiscal year between the  Partnership and the Co-Venturer to the extent of and in
the ratio of the positive  balances in their respective  capital  accounts.  Any
remaining  losses  will  be  allocated  99%  to  the  Partnership  and 1% to the
Co-Venturer.  Net  income  or loss  for  financial  reporting  purposes  will be
allocated in accordance with the allocations of taxable income or tax loss.

     Allocation of gains and losses from sales or  dispositions  of the property
will be allocated to the partners based on formulas set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.

     Distributable  funds and net  proceeds  from sale or  refinancing  is to be
distributed as follows:  (1) to repay interest and principal on optional  loans;
(2) 100% to the  Partnership  until it has  earned a 9.55% per annum  cumulative
preferred return on the Partnership's net investment of $13,060,000;  (3) to the
Partnership until it has received distributable funds of $13,713,000 and (4) the
remaining  balance  99%  to the  Partnership  and  1% to  the  Co-Venturer.  The
Partnership's Preferred Return is treated as a distribution and is recorded as a
reduction  to  the  partner's  capital  account  on the  accompanying  financial
statements.  As of December 31, 1995, the cumulative preferred return payable to
the Partnership was $684,500.

     If additional cash is required for any reason in connection with operations
of the Joint  Venture,  it may be  provided  by either  the  Partnership  or the
Co-Venturer  as optional  loans.  If both parties choose to make option loans to
the Venture,  they will be in the same ratio as ownership  interest,  99:1.  The
rate of  interest  on such loans  shall  equal the rate  announced  by the First
National  Bank of  Boston as its  prime  rate plus 1%,  but not in excess of the
maximum rate of interest  permitted by applicable  law. As of December 31, 1995,
no optional loans had been made by the venturers.

     At the time of the  purchase  of the  operating  investment  property,  the
Partnership  entered  into a  master  lease  agreement  with the  seller  of the
operating property and certain other affiliates of WVI (the "Guarantors"). Under
the terms of the master lease,  the Guarantors  guaranteed for a period of three
years from the date that the  shopping  center  achieved a  specified  occupancy
level that aggregate net cash flow from all non-anchor tenants would not be less
than the aggregate  pro-forma net cash flow from non-anchor tenants projected at
time of the purchase.  During 1991, the Lessee defaulted on its obligation under
the master lease and the  Partnership  received an amount of cash  collateral to
apply to future  obligations.  The remaining  balance of the cash collateral was
exhausted in January 1992.  Through December 31, 1994, no other amounts had been
received toward the Lessee's obligation under the master lease,  resulting in an
outstanding balance due of approximately  $618,000.  In January 1995, the Lessee
entered into a settlement  agreement with the Partnership  which  terminated the
master lease  agreement  effective  December 31, 1994. The original  termination
date of the master  lease  agreement  was to have been  February  27,  1997.  In
accordance  with the settlement  agreement,  on January 27, 1995 the Partnership
received  a cash  payment  of  approximately  $348,000  toward  the  outstanding
obligation of $618,000 discussed above. In addition,  the Partnership received a
promissory note from the Lessee in the amount of $160,000 which accrues interest
at 8.5% and is due  December 31,  1997.  The Lessee also  assigned its rights to
certain future  development and leasing fees which will be credited  against the
outstanding balance of the promissory note if earned. The remaining master lease
obligation,  after the cash payment and the promissory  note, was forgiven under
the terms of the  settlement  agreement.  Master  lease  income is recorded as a
reduction of the carrying  value of the operating  property on the  accompanying
balance sheet. Accordingly, the joint venture will record any payments under the
note when received as a reduction in the property's carrying value.

    Portland Pacific Associates Two

     On September  20, 1988,  the  Partnership  acquired an interest in Portland
Pacific  Associates Two, a general  partnership formed to own and operate Willow
Grove Apartments,  a 119-unit apartment complex situated on 6.2 acres of land in
Beaverton,  Oregon.  The aggregate cash  investment by the  Partnership  for its
investment was $5,068,167 (including an acquisition fee of $252,000 paid to PWPI
and certain closing costs of $16,167).  The  Partnership's  original  co-venture
partner was an affiliate of Pacific Union Investment Company.

      On January 27,  1995,  the  Partnership  purchased  99% of the  co-venture
partner's  interest in the joint venture for  $233,000.  The remaining 1% of the
co-venture  partner's  interest  was  assigned to Third  Equity  Partners,  Inc.
("TEP"),  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  assumed control over the
affairs of the joint venture.  Because this  transaction was completed after the
joint  venture's  year-end,  the  change in  control  was not  reflected  in the
presentation of the Partnership's  financial  statements until the first quarter
of fiscal 1996.  Accordingly,  beginning in fiscal 1996, the financial  position
and results of operations of the venture are presented on a  consolidated  basis
in  the  Partnership's   financial   statements.   Prior  to  fiscal  1996,  the
Partnership's  investment  in the joint  venture was accounted for on the equity
method (see Note 4).

      In connection with the  consolidation of Portland  Pacific  Associates Two
into  the  Partnership's   financial   statements,   the  following  assets  and
liabilities (in thousands) of the joint venture at January 1, 1995 were recorded
in the Partnership's balance sheet at April 1, 1995 (see Note 2).

             Investment in Portland Pacific Associates Two,
                 at equity, at April 1, 1995                 $    524

    The Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement provides that net cash flow
(as defined) shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (i) First,
to  the   Partnership   until  the   Partnership   has   received  a  cumulative
non-compounded  return  of 10% on its net  investment  of  $4,800,000  plus  any
additional contributions made; (ii) Second, any remaining net cash flow shall be
distributed to the partners in proportion to their venture interests (99% to the
Partnership and 1% to TEP).

    Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, taxable
income from  operations in each year shall be allocated first to the Partnership
until the  Partnership  has been  allocated an amount equal to a 10%  cumulative
non-compounded  return on the  Partnership's  net investment plus any additional
contributions.  Any  remaining  taxable  income  shall be  allocated  99% to the
Partnership and 1% to TEP. All tax losses from operations shall be allocated 99%
to the  Partnership  and 1% to TEP.  Allocations of income or loss for financial
accounting purposes have been made in accordance with the allocations of taxable
income or tax loss.

    Net profits and losses arising from a capital transaction shall be allocated
among the venture  partners  under the  specific  provisions  of the Amended and
Restated  Joint Venture  Agreement.  Any net proceeds  available to the venture,
arising from the sale,  refinancing or other disposition of the property,  after
the payment of all  obligations  to the  mortgage  lenders and the  repayment of
certain  advances  from the  Partnership  shall be  distributed  to the  venture
partners in proportion to their  positive  capital  account  balances  after the
allocation of all gains or losses.

    If additional cash is required in connection with the operation of the Joint
Venture,   the  venture   partners  shall  contribute  such  required  funds  in
proportionate amounts as may be determined by the venture partners at such time.

     The  Partnership  originally  entered into a Management  Agreement  with an
affiliate of the former  co-venturer  which was cancellable at the option of the
Partnership upon the occurrence of certain events. The annual management fee was
equal to 5% of gross rents  collected.  The former  co-venture  partner has been
retained  in a  property  management  capacity  for the same  annual fee under a
contract which is  cancellable  for any reason upon 30 days' written notice from
the Partnership.

      The following is a combined summary of property operating expenses for the
years ended December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993. The calendar 1995 amounts include

6.  Notes payable

    Notes payable and accrued  interest on the books of the Partnership at March
31, 1996 and 1995 consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                      1996            1995

10.72%  nonrecourse  loan payable to
an  insurance  company,  was secured
by the One Paragon  Place  operating
investment  property.  All  interest
and  principal  was due at maturity,
on November 23,  1995.  Interest was
compounded  semi-annually.   Accrued
interest at March 31, 1995  amounted
to   $4,774.   See   discussion   of
refinancing below.                             $        -        $ 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   (see
discussion   below).   Interest  is
compounded  semi-annually.  Accrued
interest at March 31, 1996 and 1995
amounted to $3,630 and $2,883,
respectively.                                        7,680         6,933

9.59% nonrecourse loan payable to a
finance  company,  which is  secured
by  the   Willow   Grove   operating
investment   property.   The   note,
issued    to    Portland     Pacific
Associates  Two,   requires  monthly
principal  and interest  payments of
$32   from   April   1995    through
maturity   in   March   2002.    See
discussion below.                                   3,575              -
                                                  -------        -------
                                                  $11,255        $16,707
                                                  =======        =======

     In March  1995,  Portland  Pacific  Associates  Two  obtained a  $3,600,000
mortgage  note  payable,  secured by the Willow  Grove  Apartments,  which bears
interest at 9.59%.  Principal  and interest  payments of $32,000 are due monthly
through March of 2002 at which time the entire  unpaid  balance of principal and
interest is due. The loan was issued to the joint venture and,  accordingly,  is
recorded  on the  consolidated  venture's  books.  The  net  proceeds  from  the
financing   transaction  of  approximately   $3,522,000  were  remitted  to  the
Partnership as a distribution in fiscal 1995. The Partnership used $2,473,000 to
pay off an outstanding note payable which encumbered the property. The remaining
proceeds were added to the Partnership's cash reserves. As of December 31, 1995,
the fair value of this mortgage note payable approximated its carrying value.

    On  November  16,  1995,  the zero  coupon  loan  issued  in the name of the
Partnership  and secured by a mortgage on One Paragon Place was refinanced  with
proceeds of a seven-year $8,750,000 loan from a new lender issued in the name of
the  unconsolidated  Richmond Paragon  Partnership.  The zero coupon loan had an
outstanding   balance  of  approximately  $10.4  million  at  the  time  of  the
refinancing.  Additional funds required to complete the refinancing  transaction
were contributed from the Partnership's  cash reserves.  The new note is secured
by a first mortgage on the One Paragon Place Office  Building and is recorded on
the books of the unconsolidated joint venture. The new loan bears interest at 8%
per annum and  requires  monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  of $68,000
through  maturity,  on December 10, 2002. The  Partnership  has  indemnified the
Richmond  Paragon  Partnership  and the related  co-venture  partner against all
liabilities,  claims  and  expenses  associated  with  this  borrowing.  The net
proceeds of this loan, in the amount of approximately  $8,059,000,  was recorded
as a distribution to the Partnership  from the  unconsolidated  joint venture in
fiscal 1996.

    The borrowing secured by Colony Plaza is scheduled to mature on December 29,
1996, at which time total  principal and accrued  interest of $8,290,190 will be
due and payable.  Due to the short-term maturity of this debt obligation,  as of
December 31, 1995 the fair value of this mortgage note approximated its carrying
value.  Management is currently negotiating with the existing lender regarding a
potential  extension and modification of the outstanding first mortgage loan. In
addition, management is also pursuing possible alternative financing sources. If
the  refinancing  or  extension of this loan is not  accomplished  by the stated
maturity  date,  the lender  could choose to initiate  foreclosure  proceedings.
Under such circumstances,  the Partnership may be unable to hold this investment
and recover the carrying value. The financial statements of the Partnership have
been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the  realization  of assets
and the ability to refinance the existing debt.  These  financial  statements do
not  include  any  adjustments  that  might  result  from  the  outcome  of this
uncertainty.  The total  assets,  total  liabilities,  gross  revenues and total
expenses of the Colony Plaza joint venture included in the  accompanying  fiscal
1996 consolidated  balance sheet and statement of operations total approximately
$11,111,000, $28,820, $1,375,000 and $537,000, respectively.

7.  Rental revenues

              The Colony Plaza General  Partnership  derives  rental income from
leasing  shopping  center space.  All of Colony Plaza's  leasing  agreements are
operating  leases  expiring  in one to  twenty  years.  Base  rental  income  of
$1,235,000, $1,212,000 and $1,109,000 was earned during the years ended December
31, 1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The following is a schedule of minimum
future lease payments from  noncancellable  operating  leases as of December 31,
1995 (in thousands):

    Years ending December 31:

           1996         $1,266
           1997         $1,108
           1998        $   959
           1999        $   785
           2000        $   665
           Thereafter   $5,219

       Total minimum future lease payments do not include percentage rentals due
under certain leases, which are based upon lessees' sales volumes. No percentage
rentals have been earned to date.  Tenant leases also require lessees to pay all
or a portion of real estate taxes, insurance and common area costs.

       During  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995,   base  rental  income  of
approximately  $839,000 (69% of total base rental  income) was received from the
three anchor  tenants of the operating  property,  as detailed  below.  No other
tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the year.

                                      Rental                  Percent of Total
       Anchor tenant                  Income earned           Rental income

      Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.        $  336,000                   27%
      Piggly Wiggly, d/b/a Foodmax $  288,000                   23%
      Goody's Family Clothes, Inc. $  215,000                   17%

       During  fiscal  1996,  the  principal  anchor  tenant of the Colony Plaza
Shopping Center,  Wal-Mart  Stores,  Inc., gave notice of its intention to close
its store at Colony  Plaza in order to open a  Wal-Mart  Supercenter  at another
location in Augusta,  Georgia.  It is expected that the Wal-Mart store at Colony
Plaza,  which comprises 38% of the property's net leasable area, will be vacated
in July 1996.  Wal-Mart remains obligated to pay rent and its share of operating
expenses through the end of its lease term in March 2009.  However,  obtaining a
suitable replacement anchor tenant will be critical to the Partnership's ability
to retain its other  existing  tenants and lease  vacant  space at the  shopping
center.  Management  is  currently  working to  identify  potential  replacement
tenants for the Wal-Mart space at Colony Plaza. To the extent the Partnership is
unable to obtain a suitable  replacement anchor tenant and retain or replace its
existing tenants,  it is possible that the  Partnership's  estimate that it will
recover the carrying value of the operating  investment property could change in
the future.

8.  Legal Proceedings

    In November 1994, a series of purported class actions (the "New York Limited
Partnership  Actions")  were filed in the United States  District  Court for the
Southern  District of New York concerning  PaineWebber  Incorporated's  sale and
sponsorship of various limited partnership investments,  including those offered
by the Partnership.  The lawsuits were brought against PaineWebber  Incorporated
and Paine Webber Group Inc. (together "PaineWebber"), among others, by allegedly
dissatisfied  partnership  investors.  In March  1995,  after the  actions  were
consolidated under the title In re PaineWebber Limited  Partnership  Litigation,
the  plaintiffs  amended their  complaint to assert claims  against a variety of
other  defendants,   including  Third  Equity  Partners,   Inc.  and  Properties
Associates  1988,  L.P.  ("PA1988"),  which  are  the  General  Partners  of the
Partnership and affiliates of PaineWebber.  On May 30, 1995, the court certified
class action treatment of the claims asserted in the litigation.

    The amended  complaint in the New York Limited  Partnership  Actions alleges
that, in connection  with the sale of interests in PaineWebber  Equity  Partners
Three Limited Partnership,  PaineWebber,  Third Equity Partners, Inc. and PA1988
(1) failed to provide adequate disclosure of the risks involved;  (2) made false
and  misleading  representations  about the  safety of the  investments  and the
Partnership's  anticipated  performance;  and (3)  marketed the  Partnership  to
investors for whom such  investments  were not  suitable.  The  plaintiffs,  who
purport to be suing on behalf of all persons who invested in PaineWebber  Equity
Partners Three Limited  Partnership,  also allege that following the sale of the
partnership  interests,  PaineWebber,  Third  Equity  Partners,  Inc. and PA1988
misrepresented   financial   information  about  the  Partnership's   value  and
performance.  The amended  complaint  alleges  that  PaineWebber,  Third  Equity
Partners,  Inc.  and  PA1988  violated  the  Racketeer  Influenced  and  Corrupt
Organizations Act ("RICO") and the federal  securities laws. The plaintiffs seek
unspecified  damages,  including  reimbursement for all sums invested by them in
the  partnerships,  as well as disgorgement of all fees and other income derived
by PaineWebber from the limited partnerships.  In addition,  the plaintiffs also
seek treble damages under RICO.

    In January 1996,  PaineWebber  signed a memorandum of understanding with the
plaintiffs in the New York Limited Partnership Actions 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 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 investors in  PaineWebber  Equity  Partners
Three Limited Partnership.

    In February  1996,  approximately  150 plaintiffs  filed an action  entitled
Abbate v.  PaineWebber  Inc. in  Sacramento,  California  Superior Court against
PaineWebber   Incorporated  and  various  affiliated   entities  concerning  the
plaintiffs' purchases of various limited partnership interests,  including those
offered by the  Partnership.  The complaint  alleges,  among other things,  that
PaineWebber and its related entities committed fraud and  misrepresentation  and
breached  fiduciary  duties  allegedly  owed to the  plaintiffs  by  selling  or
promoting  limited   partnership   investments  that  were  unsuitable  for  the
plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits,  understating  the risks and failing
to  state  material  facts  concerning  the  investments.  The  complaint  seeks
compensatory  damages of $15 million plus punitive damages against  PaineWebber.
The eventual outcome of this litigation and the potential impact, if any, on the
Partnership's unitholders cannot be determined at the present time.

    In  June  1996,   approximately  50  plaintiffs  filed  an  action  entitled
Bandrowski v. PaineWebber Inc. in Sacramento,  California Superior Court against
PaineWebber   Incorporated  and  various  affiliated   entities  concerning  the
plaintiff's purchases of various limited partnership interests,  including those
offered  by the  Partnership.  The  complaint  is  substantially  similar to the
complaint in the Abbate action described above, and seeks  compensatory  damages
of $3.4 million plus punitive damages.

    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 Managing General Partner cannot estimate the impact, if
any, of the  potential  indemnification  claims on the  Partnership's  financial
statements,  taken as a whole. Accordingly, no provision for any liability which
could  result from the  eventual  outcome of these  matters has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.

9.  Subsequent Event

     On May  15,  1996  the  Partnership  distributed  $252,000  to the  Limited
Partners  and $2,500 to the General  Partners  for the  quarter  ended March 31,
1996.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Partners
PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership:

     We have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet  of the  1995
Combined Joint Ventures of PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership
as of December 31, 1995, and the related  combined  statements of operations and
changes in venturers' capital, and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit
also  included  the  financial  statement  schedule  listed in the Index at Item
14(a).  These financial  statements and schedule are the  responsibility  of the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  and  schedule  based on our  audit.  We did not audit the
financial statements of DeVargas Center Joint Venture,  which statements reflect
45% of the  combined  total  assets  of the  1995  Combined  Joint  Ventures  of
PaineWebber  Equity Partners Three Limited  Partnership at December 31, 1995 and
51% of the combined  revenues of the 1995 Combined Joint Ventures of PaineWebber
Equity Partners Three Limited  Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Those  statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us, and our  opinion,  insofar as it relates to data  included  for  DeVargas
Center Joint Venture, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

     We conducted  our audit in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors  provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  based on our audit and the report of other  auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the  combined  financial  position  of  the  1995  Combined  Joint  Ventures  of
PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited  Partnership at December 31, 1995, and
the combined  results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our
opinion,  based on our  audits  and the report of other  auditors,  the  related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements  taken as a whole,  presents  fairly  in all  material  respects  the
information set forth therein.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



DeVargas Center Joint Venture:

   We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of DeVargas  Center Joint
Venture (the "Joint  Venture") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements  of income,  venturers'  capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial  statements are the
responsibility  of the Joint  Venture's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the financial  position of the Joint Venture at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1995 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         1995 COMBINED JOINT VENTURES OF
              PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

    Organization

       The accompanying financial statements of the 1995 Combined Joint Ventures
    of PaineWebber  Equity  Partners Three Limited  Partnership  (Combined Joint
    Ventures) include the accounts of DeVargas Center Joint Venture  (DeVargas),
    a Virginia limited partnership and Richmond Paragon Partnership (One Paragon
    Place),  a Virginia  general  partnership,  for the year ended  December 31,
    1995.

       The  financial  statements  of the  Combined  Joint  Ventures  have  been
    prepared based on the periods that PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited
    Partnership (PWEP3) has held an interest in the individual Joint Ventures.

       The dates of PWEP3's  acquisition  of interests in the Joint Ventures are
as follows:

                                                           Date of Acquisition
                     Joint Venture                            of Interest

            DeVargas Center                                 April 18, 1988
            Richmond Paragon Partnership                    September 26, 1988

    Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

      The financial statements of the joint ventures are presented in a combined
    format  due to the  nature  of the  relationship  between  each of the Joint
    Ventures and PWEP3.

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
    accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to make estimates and
    assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements
    and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ from the estimates and
    assumptions used.

    Operating investment properties

      The  operating  investment  properties  are  carried at the lower of cost,
    reduced  by  accumulated  depreciation,  or net  realizable  value.  The net
    realizable  value of a property  held for long-term  investment  purposes is
    measured by the  recoverability  of the investment from expected future cash
    flows on an  undiscounted  basis,  which may exceed the  property's  current
    market  value.  The  net  realizable  value  of a  property  held  for  sale
    approximates its market value. Both of the operating  investment  properties
    owned  by the  Combined  Joint  Ventures  were  considered  to be  held  for
    long-term investment purposes as of December 31, 1995.

       In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No.  121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and for
    Long-Lived  Assets To Be Disposed  Of"  ("Statement  121"),  which  requires
    impairment  losses to be recorded on  long-lived  assets used in  operations
    when  indicators of impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows
    estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
    amount.  Statement 121 also addresses the  accounting for long-lived  assets
    that are expected to be disposed of. The Combined  Joint Ventures will adopt
    Statement 121 in 1996 and, based on current  circumstances,  management does
    not believe the effect of adoption will be material.

      Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method based on
    the estimated  useful life of the buildings,  improvements and furniture and
    equipment,  generally  five to forty  years.  Certain of the  furniture  and
    equipment is depreciated over seven and five years, respectively,  using the
    double-declining  balance  method.  Repairs and  maintenance  are charged to
    expense.  Major  replacements  are  capitalized,  and the replaced asset and
    accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. "Mandatory Payments"
    from the co-venture  partner in Richmond Paragon  Partnership to pay PWEP3's
    preferred  distribution or to cover operating  deficits are not reimbursable
    to the  co-venturer  and are treated as  reductions to the cost basis of the
    operating  investment  property.  Mandatory  payments  amounted  to $174,000
    through the end of the guaranty period.

    Deferred expenses

      Deferred expenses include capitalized  guaranty fees,  organization costs,
    lease costs and loan  expenses.  Guaranty fees and  organization  costs have
    been  amortized  using the  straight-line  method over three and five years,
    respectively.  Deferred  leasing  costs  and  loan  expenses  are  generally
    amortized on a straight-line  basis over the term of the leases and the term
    of the loans, respectively.

    Cash and cash equivalents

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows,  the Combined  Joint Ventures
    consider all highly liquid  investments  with original  maturity dates of 90
    days or less to be cash equivalents.

    Revenue recognition

      Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
    related lease  agreements  for the commercial  properties  owned by DeVargas
    Center  Joint  Venture and  Richmond  Paragon  Partnership.  Deferred  rents
    receivable of $401,000 at December 31, 1995 represent the difference between
    the revenue  recorded on the  straight-line  method and the payments made in
    accordance with the lease agreements.

    Income tax matters

      No provision for income taxes has been provided because the tax effects of
    the Joint Ventures are reportable by the individual partners.

    Escrow accounts

      Certain  Joint  Venture  Agreements  provide  that  PWEP3 can  direct  the
    property manager to establish and periodically fund escrow cash accounts for
    payment of real estate  taxes and  insurance  premiums.  As of December  31,
    1995, no such  direction has been given to the property  managers.  Escrowed
    cash at December 31, 1995 consists primarily of tenants security deposits.

    Capital reserve

      The One Paragon Place Joint Venture Agreement  provides that a reserve for
    future capital  expenditures be established and  administered by the Manager
    of the property.  The Joint Venture is to pay periodically  into the capital
    reserve an agreed upon  amount (as  defined)  as funds are  available  after
    paying all expenses and PWEP3's preferred  distribution  during the guaranty
    period.  As of December 31, 1995,  no amounts were  required to be paid into
    the capital reserve.

    Fair value of financial instruments

      The carrying  amount of cash,  tenant  receivables  and other  current and
    long-term liabilities  approximates their respective fair values at December
    31, 1995.

2.  Joint Ventures

    See Note 4 to the  financial  statements  of PWEP3  included  in this Annual
    Report for a more detailed  description  of the joint venture  partnerships.
    Descriptions of the ventures' properties are summarized below:

    a.  DeVargas Center Joint Venture

        The joint venture owns and operates the DeVargas  Mall  consisting of an
        existing  retail  shopping  mall  located in Santa Fe, New  Mexico.  The
        property  consists of approximately  248,000 net rentable square feet on
        approximately 18.3 acres of land.

    b.  Richmond Paragon Partnership

        The partnership  owns and operates One Paragon Place, a six-story office
        building  located  on  approximately  8.2  acres  of land  in  Richmond,
        Virginia, with 146,614 square feet of net leasable area.

       The  following  description  of the  joint  venture  agreements  provides
certain general information.

    Allocations of net income and loss

       The  agreements  generally  provide  that net  income  (other  than those
    resulting  from  sales  or  other  dispositions  of the  projects)  will  be
    allocated to PWEP3 in the same proportions as actual cash distributions from
    operations  (as  defined  in  the  Joint  Venture  Agreements).  Losses  are
    generally  allocated  to the  partners  in  proportion  to  their  ownership
    interests or positive capital account balances.

       Gains  or  losses  resulting  from  sales or  other  dispositions  of the
    projects shall be allocated  according to the formulas provided in the Joint
    Venture Agreements.

    Distributions

       Distributable   funds  from   DeVargas  are   determined   quarterly  and
    distributed in the following priority: (1) repayment of any accrued interest
    and principal on loans; (2) a cumulative return of 8% annual simple interest
    on PWEP3's capital  contribution of $10,800,000;  (3) a cumulative return of
    8% annual  simple  interest on the  co-venturer's  capital  contribution  of
    $2,700,000  ($3,285,000  subsequent  to  September  25,  1990)  and  (4) the
    remaining  distributable  funds shall be distributed 50% to PWEP3 and 50% to
    the co-venturer.

       The Richmond  Paragon  Joint Venture  Agreement  provides that PWEP3 will
    receive  from net cash  flow  cumulative  preferred  distributions,  payable
    monthly,  equivalent to 9% per annum on its net  investment  of  $20,000,000
    through and until the termination and  dissolution of the  Partnership.  Any
    remaining  net cash flow is to be  distributed  first to the  partners  as a
    return equal to the prime rate of interest plus 1% on any additional capital
    contributions  made to fund current cash needs of the joint venture and then
    is to be  distributed  75% to PWEP3  and 25% to the  co-venturer.  The joint
    venture  agreement  further  provided  that  during the first three years of
    operations  (the guaranty  period),  if cash flow was  insufficient to cover
    operating deficits and to pay PWEP3's preferred distribution, the co-venture
    was required to pay to the joint  venture such amounts as were  necessary to
    fund  such  operating  deficits  and  provide  for the  payment  of  PWEP3's
    preferred  distribution.  Payments  made  by  the  co-venturer  under  these
    provisions are called "mandatory payments" (see Note 1). The guaranty period
    expired in September 1991.

       Distributions  of net  proceeds  upon  the  sale  or  disposition  of the
    projects  shall be made in accordance  with  formulas  provided in the joint
    venture agreements.
3.  Related Party Transactions

    Management fees

       The joint ventures  entered into management  contracts with affiliates of
    the  co-venturers  which are  cancellable  at the  option of PWEP3  upon the
    occurrence of certain events.  The management fees generally range from 4 to
    5% of gross rents collected.

    Accounts payable - affiliates

       Accounts  payable - affiliates at December 31, 1995 consist  primarily of
    accrued  interest on notes payable to the  co-venturer in the DeVargas joint
    venture (see Note 4) and management fees and  reimbursements  payable to the
    property managers.

4.  Notes payable - affiliate

       A  promissory  note  payable to the  co-venture  partner of the  DeVargas
    Center Joint  Venture,  dated January 25, 1990,  allows the Joint Venture to
    borrow up to $5,000,000  and bears  interest at 1% above the floating  prime
    rate  established  by Texas  Commerce  Bank  National  Association  (9.5% at
    December 31,  1995).  Outstanding  accrued  interest is due and payable on a
    monthly basis,  and the  principal,  which was originally due on January 25,
    1996,  was  extended  and is now due on January 25,  1997.  The  outstanding
    principal balance of this note was $2,636,000 at December 31, 1995. A second
    promissory note payable to the DeVargas co-venturer due November 2002 allows
    the joint  venture to borrow up to  $553,000  and also bears  interest at 1%
    above the prime rate. The outstanding  principal balance of this note, which
    was issued in November  1992,  was $382,000 at December 31, 1995.  Principal
    payments  of $4,608 and  accrued  interest  are due and payable on a monthly
    basis,  beginning  December  1992.  The proceeds  from these notes have been
    utilized to fund capital  costs  associated  with leasing and  operating the
    DeVargas Mall.

5.  Mortgage note payable

       On November 16, 1995, a zero coupon loan issued to PWEP3 and secured by a
    first  mortgage on the One Paragon Place  operating  property was refinanced
    with  proceeds of a seven-year  $8,750,000  loan from a new lender issued in
    the name of  Richmond  Paragon  Partnership.  The balance of the zero coupon
    loan at the date of the  refinancing  was $10.4  million.  Additional  funds
    required to complete the refinancing  transaction were contributed by PWEP3.
    The new note is secured by a first  mortgage on the One Paragon Place Office
    Building and is recorded on the books of the  unconsolidated  joint venture.
    The new loan bears interest at 8% per annum and requires  monthly  principal
    and interest payments of $68,000 through maturity, on December 10, 2002. The
    Partnership has indemnified the Richmond Paragon Partnership and the related
    co-venture partner against all liabilities,  claims and expenses  associated
    with  this  borrowing.  The net  proceeds  of this  loan,  in the  amount of
    $8,059,000, was recorded as a distribution to PWEP3 in 1995.

       Scheduled maturities of the mortgage note payable for the next five years
    and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

           1996          $ 114

6.  Leases

       Minimum  rental  revenues to be  recognized  by the DeVargas Mall and One
    Paragon  Place joint  ventures on the  straight-line  basis in the future on
    noncancellable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

                        Year ended December 31:

                              Thereafter            5,271
                                               ----------
                                                  $15,443
                                                  ======
       The future minimum lease payments do not include estimates for contingent
    rentals due under the terms of certain  leases at the  DeVargas  Mall.  Such
    contingent rentals aggregated $910,000 in 1995.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Partners
PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership:

     We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance sheets of the 1994 and
1993  Combined  Joint  Ventures of  PaineWebber  Equity  Partners  Three Limited
Partnership  as of  December  31,  1994  and  1993,  and  the  related  combined
statements of operations, changes in venturers' capital, and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1994.  Our audits  also
included the  financial  statement  schedule  listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These  financial   statements  and  schedule  are  the   responsibility  of  the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  and  schedule  based on our audits.  We did not audit the
financial statements of DeVargas Center Joint Venture,  which statements reflect
39% of the combined total assets of the 1994 and 1993 Combined Joint Ventures of
PaineWebber  Equity Partners Three Limited  Partnership at December 31, 1994 and
1993,  and  46%,  49% and 42% of the  combined  revenues  of the  1994  and 1993
Combined Joint Ventures of PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership
for the years  ended  December  31,  1994,  1993 and 1992,  respectively.  Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us,
and our opinion,  insofar as it relates to data  included  for  DeVargas  Center
Joint Venture, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     As more fully  described in Note 6,  mortgage  debt secured by the Richmond
Paragon  Partnership's  operating  investment property is scheduled to mature in
November 1995.

     In our opinion,  based on our audits and the report of other auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the combined  financial position of the 1994 and 1993 Combined Joint Ventures of
PaineWebber  Equity Partners Three Limited  Partnership at December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period  ended  December  31, 1994 in  conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Also, in our opinion,  based on our
audits  and the  report  of other  auditors,  the  related  financial  statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole,  presents  fairly in all material  respects the  information  set forth
therein.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



DeVargas Center Joint Venture:

   We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of DeVargas  Center Joint
Venture (the "Joint  Venture") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements  of income,  venturers'  capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial  statements are the
responsibility  of the Joint  Venture's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the financial  position of the Joint Venture at December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1994 in  conformity  with  generally

                    1994 AND 1993 COMBINED JOINT VENTURES OF
              PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

     Organization

       The accompanying financial statements of the 1994 and 1993 Combined Joint
    Ventures of PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited Partnership  (Combined
    Joint  Ventures)  include  the  accounts of DeVargas  Center  Joint  Venture
    (DeVargas), a Virginia limited partnership;  Portland Pacific Associates Two
    (Willow Grove Apartments),  a California general  partnership;  and Richmond
    Paragon Partnership (One Paragon Place), a Virginia general partnership.

       The  financial  statements  of the  Combined  Joint  Ventures  have  been
    prepared based on the periods that PaineWebber Equity Partners Three Limited
    Partnership (PWEP3) has held an interest in the individual Joint Ventures.

       The dates of PWEP3's  acquisition  of interests in the Joint Ventures are
as follows:

                                                           Date of Acquisition
                      Joint Venture                            of Interest

            DeVargas Center                                April 18, 1988
            Portland Pacific Associates Two                September 20, 1988
            Richmond Paragon Partnership                   September 26, 1988

    Basis of Presentation

      The financial statements of the joint ventures are presented in a combined
    format  due to the  nature  of the  relationship  between  each of the Joint
    Ventures and PWEP3.

    Operating investment properties

      The  operating  investment  properties  are  carried at the lower of cost,
    reduced  by  accumulated  depreciation,  or net  realizable  value.  The net
    realizable  value of a property  held for long-term  investment  purposes is
    measured by the  recoverability  of the investment from expected future cash
    flows on an  undiscounted  basis,  which may exceed the  property's  current
    market  value.  The  net  realizable  value  of a  property  held  for  sale
    approximates  its market value. All of the operating  investment  properties
    owned  by the  Combined  Joint  Ventures  were  considered  to be  held  for
    long-term investment purposes as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.

      Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method based on
    the estimated  useful life of the buildings,  improvements and furniture and
    equipment,  generally  five to forty  years.  Certain of the  furniture  and
    equipment is depreciated over seven and five years, respectively,  using the
    double-declining  balance  method.  Repairs and  maintenance  are charged to
    expense.  Major  replacements  are  capitalized,  and the replaced asset and
    accumulated  depreciation are removed from the accounts.  The Combined Joint
    Ventures recognized losses of $236,755 on disposals of building improvements
    which were  replaced  during the year ended  December 31,  1993.  "Mandatory
    Payments" from the co-venture partner in Richmond Paragon Partnership to pay
    PWEP3's  preferred  distribution  or to  cover  operating  deficits  are not
    reimbursable  to the  co-venturer  and are treated as reductions to the cost
    basis of the operating investment  property.  Mandatory payments amounted to
    $174,157 through the end of the guaranty period.

      The Combined Joint Ventures have reviewed FAS No. 121  "Accounting for the
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of"
    which is  effective  for  financial  statements  for years  beginning  after
    December  15,  1995,  and believes  this new  pronouncement  will not have a
    material effect on the Combined Joint Ventures' financial statements.


<PAGE>


    Deferred expenses

      Deferred expenses include capitalized  guaranty fees,  organization costs,
    lease costs and loan  expenses.  Guaranty fees and  organization  costs have
    been  amortized  using the  straight-line  method over three and five years,
    respectively.  Deferred  leasing  costs  and  loan  expenses  are  generally
    amortized on a straight-line  basis over the term of the leases and the term
    of the loans, respectively.

    Cash and cash equivalents

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows,  the Combined  Joint Ventures
    consider all highly liquid  investments  with original  maturity dates of 90
    days or less to be cash equivalents.

    Reclassifications

      Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to  conform to the
current year presentation.

    Revenue recognition

      Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
    related lease  agreements  for the commercial  properties  owned by DeVargas
    Center  Joint  Venture and  Richmond  Paragon  Partnership.  Deferred  rents
    receivable  of  $442,000  and  $371,000  at  December  31,  1994  and  1993,
    respectively,  represent the difference  between the revenue recorded on the
    straight-line  method and the  payments  made in  accordance  with the lease
    agreements.

    Income tax matters

      No provision for income taxes has been provided because the tax effects of
    the Joint Ventures are reportable by the individual partners.

    Escrow accounts

      Certain  Joint  Venture  Agreements  provide  that  PWEP3 can  direct  the
    property manager to establish and periodically fund escrow cash accounts for
    payment of real estate  taxes and  insurance  premiums.  As of December  31,
    1994, no such direction has been given to the property managers.

    Capital reserve

      The One Paragon Place Joint Venture Agreement  provides that a reserve for
    future capital  expenditures be established and  administered by the Manager
    of the property.  The Joint Venture is to pay periodically  into the capital
    reserve an agreed upon  amount (as  defined)  as funds are  available  after
    paying all expenses and PWEP3's preferred  distribution  during the guaranty
    period.  As of December 31, 1994,  no amounts were  required to be paid into
    the capital reserve.

    Escrowed cash

       Escrowed cash consists primarily of tenants security deposits.

2.  Joint Ventures

    See Note 4 to the  financial  statements  of PWEP3  included  in this Annual
    Report for a more detailed  description  of the joint venture  partnerships.
    Descriptions of the ventures' properties are summarized below:

    a.  DeVargas Center Joint Venture

        The joint venture owns and operates the DeVargas  Mall  consisting of an
        existing  retail  shopping  mall  located in Santa Fe, New  Mexico.  The
        property  consists of approximately  248,000 net rentable square feet on
        approximately 18.3 acres of land.

    b.  Portland Pacific Associates Two

        The partnership  owns and operates Willow Grove  Apartments,  a 119-unit
        apartment complex located on 6.2 acres of land in Beaverton, Oregon.

    c.  Richmond Paragon Partnership

        The partnership  owns and operates One Paragon Place, a six-story office
        building  located  on  approximately  8.2  acres  of land  in  Richmond,
        Virginia, with 146,614 square feet of net leasable area.

       The  following  description  of the  joint  venture  agreements  provides
certain general information.

    Allocations of net income and loss

       The  agreements  generally  provide  that net  income  (other  than those
    resulting  from  sales  or  other  dispositions  of the  projects)  will  be
    allocated to PWEP3 in the same proportions as actual cash distributions from
    operations  (as defined in the Joint Venture  Agreements).  The agreement in
    the Portland Pacific Associates Two partnership  provides for the allocation
    of net income or loss  after  specific  allocation  of  interest  expense on
    partnership  advances.  Losses are  generally  allocated  to the partners in
    proportion  to  their  ownership   interests  or  positive  capital  account
    balances.

       Gains  or  losses  resulting  from  sales or  other  dispositions  of the
    projects shall be allocated  according to the formulas provided in the Joint
    Venture Agreements.

    Distributions

       Distributable   funds  from   DeVargas  are   determined   quarterly  and
    distributed in the following priority: (1) repayment of any accrued interest
    and principal on loans; (2) a cumulative return of 8% annual simple interest
    on PWEP3's capital  contribution of $10,800,000;  (3) a cumulative return of
    8% annual  simple  interest on the  co-venturer's  capital  contribution  of
    $2,700,000  ($3,285,000  subsequent  to  September  25,  1990)  and  (4) the
    remaining  distributable  funds shall be distributed 50% to PWEP3 and 50% to
    the co-venturer.

       The Portland Pacific agreement  provides that net cash flow available for
    distribution,  as defined, is allocated first to PWEP3 until it has received
    its preferred return,  as defined,  which is cumulative to the extent of the
    then-current  fiscal year. PWEP3's preferred return is 9% simple interest on
    its Net  Investment of $4,800,000 for the  three-year  period  commencing on
    September 20, 1988 (the "Guaranty Period"),  9.50% on its Net Investment for
    the fourth year, and 10% on its Net Investment thereafter. Second, 50% is be
    distributed to PWEP3 to pay any accrued  preference,  and 37.5% to PWEP3 and
    12.5% to the co-venturer. Then, of the remaining net cash flow, 50% is to be
    distributed  to  the  property  manager  to  pay  any  unpaid   subordinated
    management  fees, and 37.5% to PWEP3 and 12.5% to the  co-venturer.  See the
    discussion  in Note 8  regarding  the  subsequent  transfer  of  partnership
    interest which will affect these distribution priorities in 1995.

       The Richmond  Paragon  Joint Venture  Agreement  provides that PWEP3 will
    receive  from net cash  flow  cumulative  preferred  distributions,  payable
    monthly,  equivalent to 9% per annum on its net  investment  of  $20,000,000
    through and until the termination and  dissolution of the  Partnership.  Any
    remaining  net cash flow is to be  distributed  first to the  partners  as a
    return equal to the prime rate of interest plus 1% on any additional capital
    contributions  made to fund current cash needs of the joint venture and then
    is to be  distributed  75% to PWEP3  and 25% to the  co-venturer.  The joint
    venture  agreement  further  provided  that  during the first three years of
    operations  (the guaranty  period),  if cash flow was  insufficient to cover
    operating deficits and to pay PWEP3's preferred distribution, the co-venture
    was required to pay to the joint  venture such amounts as were  necessary to
    fund  such  operating  deficits  and  provide  for the  payment  of  PWEP3's
    preferred  distribution.  Payments  made  by  the  co-venturer  under  these
    provisions are called "mandatory payments" (see Note 1). The guaranty period
    expired in September 1991.

       Distributions  of net  proceeds  upon  the  sale  or  disposition  of the
    projects  shall be made in accordance  with  formulas  provided in the joint
    venture agreements.

3.  Related Party Transactions

    Management fees

       The joint ventures  entered into management  contracts with affiliates of
    the  co-venturers  which are  cancellable  at the  option of PWEP3  upon the
    occurrence of certain events.  The management fees generally range from 4 to
    5% of gross rents collected.

    Accounts payable - affiliates

       Accounts  payable -  affiliates  at December  31,  1994 and 1993  consist
    primarily of accrued  interest on notes  payable to the  co-venturer  in the
    DeVargas  joint venture (see Note 4),  organization  costs payable to PWEP3,
    and management fees and reimbursements payable to the property managers.

    Charges from Portland Pacific Co-Venturer

       Accounting  fees of $3,849,  $8,043  and $7,609  were paid or owed to the
    co-venture  partner of the Portland  Pacific joint venture in 1994, 1993 and
    1992, respectively.

4.  Notes payable - affiliate

       A  promissory  note  payable to the  co-venture  partner of the  DeVargas
    Center Joint  Venture,  dated January 25, 1990,  allows the Joint Venture to
    borrow up to $3,000,000  and bears  interest at 1% above the floating  prime
    rate  established  by Texas  Commerce  Bank  National  Association  (9.5% at
    December 31,  1994).  Outstanding  accrued  interest is due and payable on a
    monthly basis, and the principal is due on January 25, 1996. The outstanding
    principal balance of this note was $2,513,013 and $1,549,765 at December 31,
    1994  and  1993,  respectively.  A second  promissory  note  payable  to the
    DeVargas co-venturer due November 2002 allows the joint venture to borrow up
    to  $553,000  and also  bears  interest  at 1% above  the  prime  rate.  The
    outstanding  principal  balance of this note,  which was issued in  November
    1992, was $437,792 and $340,902 at December 31, 1994 and 1993  respectively.
    Principal  payments of $4,608 and accrued  interest are due and payable on a
    monthly basis,  beginning  December 1992. The proceeds from these notes have
    been  utilized to fund capital costs  associated  with leasing and operating
    the DeVargas Mall.

5.  Advances from partners

       Advances from partners at December 31, 1994 includes  amounts  payable to
    the partners of Portland  Pacific  Associates  Two in the amounts of $73,182
    for PWEP3 and $18,295 for the  co-venturer.  The  advances  bear a preferred
    return  accounted  for as interest at the rate then  applicable to the PWEP3
    Preference  return  (10% for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended
    December 31, 1994).  Interest  expense related to these advances was $9,148,
    $9,148 and $4,089 for the years  ended  December  31,  1994,  1993 and 1992,
    respectively.  This interest expense has been specifically allocated to each
    partner in the  statement  of changes in  venturers'  capital.  Payments  of
    interest totalling $9,148, $9,148 and $3,312 were made during 1994, 1993 and
    1992, respectively.  The advances are payable out of cash flow available for
    distribution, if any.

6.  Encumbrances on operating investment properties

       As  allowed  under  a  provision  of  the  Portland  Pacific  Partnership
    Agreement, PWEP3 borrowed funds that were secured by a deed of trust and the
    assignment  of leases on the operating  investment  property of the Portland
    Pacific general partnership. At December 31, 1994, the amount outstanding on
    this  borrowing  was  $2,183,000.  The borrowing  accrued  interest at 10.5%
    annually,  with the accrued  interest being added to the principal  balance.
    The borrowing was scheduled to mature in December  1996, at which time total
    principal and accrued  interest of $2,968,000  was to become due and payable
    by PWEP3.  In March  1995,  this  borrowing  was  repaid  in full  through a
    $3,600,000 loan made directly to Portland Pacific  Associates Two. Such loan
    is  secured  by a  first  mortgage  on the  venture's  operating  investment
    property,  bears interest at 9.59% per annum, and requires monthly principal
    and interest  payments of $31,679 from April 1995 through  maturity in March
    2002. The proceeds of this financing  transaction  were distributed to PWEP3
    per the agreement of the partners.

       PWEP3  also  borrowed  funds,  under a  provision  in the  joint  venture
    agreement,  secured by a deed of trust and the  assignment  of leases on the
    operating  investment property of the Richmond Paragon General  Partnership.
    The borrowing  accrues interest at 10.72% annually with the accrued interest
    being added to the principal  balance.  The borrowing matures in November of
    1995, at which time total  principal and accrued  interest of  approximately
    $10,386,000  becomes due and payable by PWEP3.  At December  31,  1994,  the
    amount  outstanding on this borrowing was $9,480,000.  PWEP3 is currently in
    negotiations  with the  existing  lender on the note  secured by One Paragon
    Place regarding  conversion of this note to a conventional  current-pay loan
    and is also seeking possible replacement  financing.  Management of PWEP3 is
    requesting  from the lender a four-year  extension of the maturity  date and
    terms which would  include a reduced  rate of interest on the balance of the
    loan  going  forward.  Both the  modification  proposal  or any  refinancing
    transaction  would  require a paydown  of  approximately  $1  million on the
    outstanding  debt  balance in order to satisfy  lender  loan-to-value  ratio
    requirements.  PWEP3 has sufficient funds to make such a principal  paydown,
    however no firm commitments exist as of the date of this report to refinance
    the outstanding  debt obligation or extend the maturity date beyond November
    1995. This situation raises  substantial  doubt about the ability of the One
    Paragon  Place joint venture to continue as a going  concern.  The financial
    statements of the venture do not include any  adjustments  that might result
    from the outcome of this uncertainty.  The total assets,  total liabilities,
    gross  revenues and total  expenses of the One Paragon  Place joint  venture
    included in the 1994  combined  balance  sheet and  statement of  operations
    $16,447,000, $91,000, $1,970,000 and $1,911,000, respectively.

       The  borrowings  described  above are  direct  obligations  of PWEP3 and,
    accordingly, do not appear in the accompanying financial statements.

7.  Leases

       Minimum  rental  revenues to be  recognized  by the DeVargas Mall and One

       The future minimum lease payments do not include estimates for contingent
    rentals due under the terms of certain  leases at the  DeVargas  Mall.  Such
    contingent rentals aggregated $898,000,  $937,000 and $791,000 in 1994, 1993
    and 1992, respectively.

8.  Subsequent Events

       In January  1995,  PWEP3  acquired 99% of the  co-venturer's  interest in
    Portland   Pacific   Associates   Two  in  return  for  a  cash  payment  of
    approximately  $233,000.  Such cash consideration included repayment in full
    of the advances from the  co-venturer  described in Note 5. The remaining 1%
    of co-venturer's  interest was assigned to Third Equity  Partners,  Inc., an
    affiliate of PWEP3, in return for a release from any further  obligations or
    duties  called  for under the terms of the  joint  venture  agreement.  As a
    result of this  transaction,  the  original  co-venturer  no longer  has any
    equity interest in the joint venture.  Pacific Union Property  Services,  an
    affiliate  of the  original  co-venturer,  continues  to manage the property
    pursuant to a management contract which is cancellable upon 30 days' written
    notice.
