ITEM 2 - Disposition of Assets

   Colony Plaza Shopping Center - Augusta, Georgia

   Disposition Date - June 30, 1999

     On June 30, 1999,  PaineWebber  Equity  Partners Three Limited  Partnership
("the  Partnership"),  Colony  Plaza  General  Partnership  ("Colony"),  a joint
venture in which the Partnership  has an interest,  and Pitney Bowes Real Estate
Financial Corporation ("PREFCO") executed a Settlement Agreement in which Colony
agreed to execute and deliver to PREFCO a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure and a Bill
of Sale with respect to the Colony Plaza  Shopping  Center.  The Deed in Lieu of
Foreclosure  and Bill of Sale  transferred  the Colony Plaza Shopping  Center to
PREFCO in settlement  of a zero coupon loan secured by the property,  which is a
217,000 square foot retail center located in Augusta,  Georgia. The loan matured
on December  29, 1996,  at which time total  principal  and accrued  interest of
$8,290,190  was due and  payable.  Although  the  Partnership  did not  make the
scheduled payment upon maturity, no formal default notice was ever issued by the
lender.  Management had been engaged in  negotiations  with PREFCO  regarding an
extension and modification of the outstanding first mortgage loan since the time
of the loan maturity.  However,  due to the substantial vacancy at the property,
the  parties  could  not  agree on the  terms  of a  modification.  During  this
negotiation  period,  penalty  interest  accrued  on the  outstanding  principal
balance at 15.0% per annum,  compounded  semi-annually,  in accordance  with the
loan agreement. The zero coupon loan had a balance of approximately  $11,902,000
at June 30,  1999.  Per the  Settlement  Agreement,  the  Partnership  agreed to
deliver  $2,228,139.67  to PREFCO in addition to the Colony Plaza property.  The
$2,228,139.67  represents the net cash flow received by the Partnership from the
property since January 1, 1997,  plus interest  earned,  less $500,000 which the
Partnership was allowed to retain.

     As previously  reported,  the Partnership  had been  diligently  pursuing a
restructuring of the first mortgage loan with the lender.  Such negotiations had
been complicated by the leasing status of the Colony Plaza property. As of March
31, 1999, the Colony Plaza Shopping  Center was 89% leased and 52% occupied.  As
previously  reported,  Wal-Mart  closed its 82,000  square  foot store at Colony
Plaza in the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 to open a  "Supercenter"  store at a
new location in the Augusta market.  Although  Wal-Mart remains obligated to pay
rent and its share of operating expenses at Colony Plaza through the term of its
lease,  which expires in March 2009, the loss of the Center's  principal  anchor
tenant adversely  affected the Partnership's  ability to retain existing tenants
and to lease vacant  space at the center.  As a result of the lack of success in
obtaining a  replacement  anchor tenant or tenants for the Wal-Mart  space,  the
Partnership  recorded  an  impairment  loss  in  fiscal  1998 in the  amount  of
$1,204,000  to write  down the  carrying  value of the  Colony  Plaza  operating
investment  property to  management's  estimate of its  current  fair value.  In
addition, Food Max, the Center's 47,990 square foot grocery store tenant, closed
its store on December  1, 1996.  However,  in April  1998,  Food Lion opened its
store at  Colony  Plaza  in the  former  Food  Max  premises  after  spending  a
significant  amount of its own funds for its new prototype store in this market.
While the Food Max store was  replaced by Food Lion,  the  Partnership  remained
unable to secure major new leases for the former  Wal-Mart  space.  In addition,
another major tenant,  Goody's,  had a May 31, 1999 lease expiration and planned
to vacate  their  35,200  square feet of space at Colony  Plaza to relocate to a
newly  constructed  store at another site in the market area.  As a result,  the
stability of the Center's  future  rental  income was  uncertain,  which did not
allow the Partnership to negotiate an economically viable refinancing  agreement
with PREFCO or to refinance  the current  loan  balance  with a new  third-party
financing  source.  The fair market value of the property at its current leasing
level was  substantially  below the amount of the accrued interest and principal
owed  to  the  mortgage  lender.  Consequently,  the  Partnership  executed  the
Settlement Agreement described above.

            PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS THREE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP



     Subsequent to the disposition of the Colony Plaza property, the Partnership
has only one remaining real estate  investment,  a joint venture interest in the
DeVargas  Mall,  located in Santa Fe,  New  Mexico.  At the  present  time,  the
Partnership is engaged in active negotiations to sell its joint venture interest
to  the  co-venture  partner.   Although  there  are  no  assurances  that  this
transaction will be successfully  consummated,  management  currently expects to
complete this sale and a liquidation of the  Partnership on or before August 13,
1999.  The net proceeds from the sale of the DeVargas  joint  venture  interest,
along with the  Partnership's  remaining  cash reserves after the payment of all
liquidation-related  expenses,  would be distributed to the Limited  Partners by
such date.

      particular  whatsoever  except by a writing  duly  executed by  authorized

      authorized and fully competent to do so.

10.   This  Agreement  may be  executed in several  counterparts,  each of which
      shall be an original, so that all of which taken together shall constitute
      one and the same instrument.

11.   In the event that any part of this Agreement  shall be found to be illegal

                           DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE


      THIS DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE  is made this 30th day of June,  1999, by
COLONY PLAZA GENERAL  PARTNERSHIP,  a Texas general  partnership  (herein called
"Grantor")  in favor of  PITNEY  BOWES  REAL  ESTATE  FINANCIAL  CORPORATION,  a
corporation  organized  under the laws of the State of Delaware  (herein  called
"Grantee").


                             W I T N E S S E T H:

      For and in  consideration  of TEN  DOLLARS  ($10.00)  and  other  good and
valuable  consideration,  in hand paid at and before the sealing and delivery of
these presents,  the receipt and  sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged,
Grantor has  granted,  bargained,  sold,  transferred,  aliened,  confirmed  and
conveyed,  and by these presents does grant,  bargain,  sell,  transfer,  alien,
confirm and convey to Grantee all those tracts and parcels of land  described on
Exhibit "1", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

      TOGETHER WITH any and all of the following:

1.    All  buildings,  structures  and other  improvements  owned by Grantor and
      located thereon or on any part or parcel thereof and all fixtures  affixed
      or attached, actually or constructively, thereto;

2.    All and singular the tenements, hereditaments, easements and appurtenances
      belonging thereunto or in any wise appertaining  thereto and the reversion
      and reversions, remainder or remainders thereof;

3.    All rents, issues, income, revenues and profits accruing therefrom;

4.    All accounts and contract  rights  arising in connection  with any part or
      parcel  thereof  or any  buildings,  structures  or  improvements  located
      thereon,  including without limitation all accounts and contract rights in
      and to all  leases  or  undertakings  to lease  affecting  the land or any
      buildings, structures, or improvements thereon;

5.    All  minerals,   flowers,  crops,  trees,  timber,   shrubbery  and  other
      emblements located thereon or thereunder or on or under any part or parcel
      thereof;

6.    All estates,  rights, title and interest therein, or in any part or parcel
      thereof; (collectively, the "Real Property").

      TO HAVE AND HOLD said  described  Real  Property unto the said Grantee and
its successors and assigns, forever, IN FEE SIMPLE.

      It is the purpose and intent of this  instrument  to convey to Grantee all
the right,  title,  equity and interest of the Grantor and its respective  legal
representatives,  successors and assigns,  and all persons  whomsoever  claiming
under the Grantor, in and to said Real Property.

      AND Grantor, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby covenants with
Grantee that it is lawfully seized of the Real Property;  that it has good right
and lawful authority to sell and convey said Real Property; and that, except for
claims arising under those matters set forth on Exhibit "2", attached hereto and
by this reference  incorporated  herein and made a part hereof,  it will warrant
and forever defend the right and title to the above described Real Property unto
Grantee,  its successors  and assigns,  against the lawful claims of all persons
claiming by, through and under the Grantor, but not otherwise. In accepting this
Deed,  Grantee does not, and shall not be deemed to, assume or agree to be bound
by any of the matters  described  in said Exhibit "2", it being agreed that such
matters are  referred to herein  solely for the purpose of limiting the warranty
of title herein.

      It is the  intent  and  express  desire of the  parties  hereto  that this
instrument  constitute a deed given in lieu of  foreclosure of that certain Deed
to Secure Debt and Agreement executed by the Grantor,  as Borrower,  to Grantee,
as Lender,  recorded at Reel 326, Page 1808,  Richmond  County,  Georgia Records
(the "Deed to Secure Debt") and the Secured Note secured thereby.

      THIS DEED is an ABSOLUTE  CONVEYANCE of Grantor's equity of redemption and
is not intended to be further  security for the  aforementioned  indebtedness or
any other  indebtedness of Grantor to Grantee,  Grantor having sold said land to
Grantee for a fair and adequate  consideration,  such  consideration  being full
satisfaction of all obligations secured by the Deed to Secure Debt.

      GRANTOR  declares that this conveyance is freely and fairly made, and that
there are no agreements,  oral or written,  other than this Deed between Grantor
and Grantee, with respect to said Real Property.

      It is further expressly acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding that
Grantee may be  affiliated  with Lender under the Deed to Secure  Debt,  neither
Grantor nor Grantee  intends that there be, and there shall not in any event be,
a merger of any of the liens  created by the Deed to Secure  Debt with the title
