NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
- ----------------------------------

     Copley Realty Income Partners 3; A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing
primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real properties.
The Partnership commenced operations in October 1988, and acquired the two real
estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1989. The Partnership
intends to dispose of its investments within nine years of their acquisition,
and then liquidate; however, the managing general partner expects to extend the
investment period into 1999, having determined it to be in the best interest of
the limited partners. The Partnership has engaged AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc.
(the "Advisor") to provide asset management advisory services.

- -------------------------

     Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended

($13.00 per limited partnership unit).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- -----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
- -------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in June 1989 and a total of 27,641 units were sold. The Partnership
received proceeds of $24,458,317, net of selling commissions and other offering
costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to pay related
acquisition costs, or are being retained as working capital reserves.

     In connection with the July 1997 sale of the South Bay Property, the
Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,528,200 ($200 per limited
partnership unit) in July 1997. This distribution reduced the adjusted capital
contribution to $800 per unit.

     At September 30, 1998, the Partnership had $2,211,996 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $362,963 was used for cash distributions to partners on
October 29, 1998; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves.
The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash
generated by the Partnership's real estate and invested cash and cash
equivalents. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first two
quarters of 1997 were made at the annualized rate of 6.5% on a capital
contribution of $1,000 per unit. Distributions of cash from operations relating
to the third quarter of 1997 was made at the annualized rate of 7.0% on a
weighted average adjusted capital contribution of $851.11. The increase in 1997
stems from increased cash flow from Shasta Way. The annualized distribution rate
relating to the first three quarters of 1998 was 6.5% based on the adjusted
capital contribution of $800 per unit. The decrease in 1998 is due to the
decrease in distributable cash flow as a result of the South Bay sale.

     The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements
at September 30, 1998 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying
value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future
cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The
fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated costs
of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than
current appraised value. At September 30, 1998, the aggregate appraised value of
the Partnership's investments was approximately $3,800,000 greater than their
aggregate carrying value. The current appraised value of real estate investments
has been estimated by the managing general partner and is generally based on a
combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed the Advisor and the
independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation
process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which
could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the
marketplace.

COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3;

     The Year 2000 Issue is a result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business operations.

     The Partnership relies on AEW Capital Management L.P. ("AEW Capital
Management"), the parent of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc., to generate
financial information and to provide other services which are dependent on the
use of computers. The Partnership has obtained assurances from AEW Capital
Management that:

     .    AEW Capital Management has developed a Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan")
          consisting of five phases: inventory, assessment, testing,
          remediation/repair and certification.

     .    As of September 30, 1998, AEW Capital Management had completed the
          inventory and assessment phases of this Plan and had commenced the
          testing and remediation/repair of internal systems.

     .    AEW Capital Management expects to conclude the internal testing,
          remediation/repair and certifications of its Plan no later than
          December 31, 1998.

     The Partnership also relies on joint venture partners and/or property
managers to supply financial and other data with respect to its real properties.
The Partnership is in the process of surveying these third party providers and
assessing their compliance with Year 2000 requirements.  To date, the
Partnership is not aware of any problems that would materially impact its
results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.  However, the Partnership
has not yet obtained written assurances that these providers would be Year 2000
compliant.

     The Partnership currently does not have a contingency plan in the event of
a particular provider or system not being Year 2000 compliant.  Such a plan will
be developed if it becomes clear that a provider (including AEW Capital
Management) is not going to achieve its scheduled compliance objectives.  The
inability of one of these providers to complete its Year 2000 resolution process
could materially impact the Partnership.  In addition, the Partnership is also
subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce,
such as utility or transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures and
related service interruptions.

Results of Operations

     Form of Real Estate Investments

     The Brea West investment is a wholly-owned property. The Shasta Way
investment had been structured as a joint venture with a real estate
management/development firm and an affiliate of the Partnership. As of January
1, 1996, the Shasta Way joint venture was restructured, and the
management/development firm's interest was assigned to the Partnership and its
affiliate in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The
Partnership's ownership percentage increased to 58%.

COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 3;
A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

     Operating Factors

     The Brea West and the Shasta Way properties are both 100% leased to
single tenants.  A new 11-year lease was signed with the tenant at Brea West
which commenced on September 1, 1997 at a rental rate which was slightly lower
than the previous rate.  The initial lease term at Shasta Way expires on
December 31, 1998.  In February 1998, the tenant exercised its renewal option
for a 5-year term which commences on January 1, 1999.

     Investment Results

     For the three-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, real estate
operating results were $233,933 and $160,136, respectively. The increase between
the two periods stems primarily from the lease related items at Brea West
affecting the third quarter of 1997 discussed below.

     Real estate operations for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 1998
and 1997 were $700,324 and $749,573, respectively. The overall decrease of
approximately $49,000 is due to the following: 1) a decrease in operations of
$173,000 at South Bay due to its sale in July 1997. 2) an increase in operations
at Brea West of $84,000 due to the effects of a new lease which commenced
September 1, 1997. These effects included lower rental income as a result of a
base rental rate decrease. Concurrent with the signing of the new lease,
amortization expense also decreased between the two periods as certain tenant
concessions and lease commissions (included as a component of property rentals)
were written off in 1997. And 3) an increase in operations at Shasta Way of
$40,000 as a result of a rental increase as of April 1, 1998, in addition to a
favorable 1997 expense reimbursement adjustment recorded in the first quarter of
1998. Accounting fees also decreased between the two periods at Shasta Way.

     Cash provided by operations decreased by approximately $139,000 between the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The difference is
attributable to the decrease in operating results as a result of the sale of
South Bay, as well as the timing of distributions from Shasta Way.

     Interest earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments did not
change significantly between the first three and nine months of 1998 and 1997.

     Portfolio Expenses

     General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate
appraisal, legal, printing, accounting and servicing agent fees. These expenses
decreased approximately $6,000 and $21,000 between the first three and nine
month periods, respectively, of 1997 and 1998, primarily due to a decrease in
accounting fees.

     The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner. Management fees decreased by $5,000
and $23,000 between the comparable three and nine month periods of 1998 and
1997, respectively, due to the decrease in distributable cash flow.
