NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES--PUBLIC #3 LTD.
A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
March 31, 1997
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements as of March 31, 1997for the three months
then ended have been prepared by the management of the Partnership without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 1996
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
presentation have been included.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for
oil and gas activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties, drill and equip wells and organizational and syndication costs
are capitalized. Oil and gas properties are periodically assessed and when
unamortized costs exceed expected future net cash flows, a loss is
recognized by a charge to income.
Capitalized costs are expensed at unit cost rates calculated annually
based on the estimated volume of recoverable gas and the related costs.
