CAPTEC FRANCHISE CAPITAL PARTNERS L.P. III 
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  1.
    
    THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III (the Partnership), a
Delaware limited partnership, was formed on February 18, 1994 for the
purpose of acquiring income-producing commercial real properties and
equipment leased on a triple net basis, primarily to operators of
national and regional franchised businesses.The initial General Partners upon formation of the Partnership were
Captec Franchise Capital Corporation III (the Corporation), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Captec Financial Group, Inc. (Captec), an
affiliate, and Patrick L. Beach, the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Captec. In
August 1998, Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (Captec Net Lease Realty),
an affiliate, acquired the General Partnership interests of the
Partnership. In December 2001, Captec Net Lease Realty merged with and
into Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (Commercial Net Lease). In
connection with the merger, Commercial Net Lease agreed to sell and
assign its General Partnership interest in the Partnership to GP3 Asset
Acquisition, LLC (GP3 Asset Acquisition), which is wholly-owned by Mr.
Beach and is an affiliate of Captec. Effective January 15, 2002, the
limited partners consented to the transfer of the General Partnership
interest. On September 11, 2003, the Partnerships secured lender
consented to the transfer of the general partnership interest to GP3
Asset Acquisition. Upon receipt of the secured lenders consent, the
general partnership interest was immediately transferred to GP3 Asset
Acquisition. Therefore, as of September 11, 2003, GP3 Asset Acquisition
became the general partner of the Partnership.The Partnership commenced a public offering (the Offering) of up to
20,000 units (the Units) of limited partnership interests, priced at
$1,000 per Unit, by means of a Registration Statement on Form SB-2, under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 1994. The
Partnership accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Units on
January 24, 1995 and immediately commenced operations. The Offering was
fully subscribed in August 1996. Since 1997, 367 Units have been
repurchased by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase
Plan set forth in the Partnerships August 12, 1994 prospectus with
respect to the Offering. At June 30, 2004, the Partnership had 19,633
Units issued and outstanding.The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are: (i)
preservation and protection of capital; (ii) distribution of cash flow
generated by the Partnerships leases; (iii) capital appreciation of the
Partnerships properties; (iv) generation of increased income and
protection against inflation through contractual escalation of base rents
or participation in gross revenues of tenants of the Partnerships
properties; and (v) deferred taxation of cash distributions to the
limited partners.Allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions from operations and
cash distributions from sale or refinancing activities are made pursuant
to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Profits and losses from
operations are allocated among the limited partners based upon the number
of Units owned.Net income per limited partnership interest is calculated using the
weighted average number of limited partnership Units outstanding during
the period and the limited partners allocable share of the net income.Distributions per limited partnership Unit are calculated using the
actual distributions disbursed during the period to the weighted average
number of limited partnership Units during the period. Actual individual
limited partner distributions may vary from this calculation as a result
of a 7

variety of factors including: (i) actual distributions are computed based
on quarterly operating results and outstanding limited partnership units,
which are disbursed in the subsequent quarter; (ii) certain limited
partners have elected to receive monthly distributions versus quarterly
distributions which creates timing differences between comparative
calculations, and (iii) the calculation ignores the timing of
repurchases.The balance sheet of the Partnership as of June 30, 2004, the statements
of operations and cash flows for the periods ending June 30, 2004 and
June 30, 2003 and the statement of changes in partners capital for the
period ending June 30, 2004 have not been audited. In the opinion of
management, these unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of the Partnership for the periods then ended.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Partnerships annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2004.2.

notes payable with proceeds from the sale of a Red Robin property.Debt issuance costs of approximately $477,909 were incurred in connection
with the issuance of the notes, and are being amortized over the life of
the notes to interest expense using the straight-line method, which is
not materially different than the interest rate method. 8

  ITEM 2.
    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  When used in this discussion, the words, intends, anticipates,
expects, and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the
Partnerships control, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include
the following: (i) a tenant may default in making rent payments, (ii) a
fire or other casualty may interrupt the cash flow stream from a
property, (iii) the properties may not be able to be leased at the
assumed rental rates, (iv) unexpected expenses may be incurred in the
ownership of the properties, and (v) properties may not be able to be
sold at the presently anticipated prices and times. Any statements
contained in this report or any documents incorporated herein by
reference that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
report. The Partnership disclaims, except as may be required by law, any
obligations to update or release revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 9

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 During the three months ended June 30, 2004, total operating revenue was
approximately $455,000, compared to $469,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003. Rental revenue from operating leases for the three months
ended June 30, 2004 decreased 1.6% to approximately $449,000 compared to
approximately $456,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Earned
income from financing leases for the three months ended June 30, 2004
decreased 53.1% to approximately $6,000 compared to approximately $13,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of the amortization
of the principal balances on the financing leases and the disposition of
two equipment leases, one in the fourth quarter of 2003 and the other in
the first quarter of 2004. Operating expenses increased 3.3% to approximately $235,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, compared to approximately $228,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense decreased by
approximately $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the prior period. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $11,000 primarily due to an increase in reserve for bad
debt. Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately
$4,000. This is principally attributable to the final settlement on a
repossessed equipment package which yielded net proceeds of approximately
$6,000. Prior to the final settlement, the equipment package had a net
investment of approximately $13,000 (after a prior recorded allowance
for losses of $169,000). As a result of the foregoing, the Partnerships net income from
continuing operations decreased 10.9% to approximately $215,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to approximately $242,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2003. Discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2003 reflect the result
of the Red Robin property that was sold in the third quarter of 2003.
The sale was triggered by the tenants exercise of a purchase option
clause in the lease agreement. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnerships net income decreased
24.2% to approximately $215,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004,
compared to approximately $284,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2003. Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 During the six months ended June 30, 2004, total operating revenue was
approximately $912,000, compared to $939,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. Rental revenue from operating leases for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 decreased 1.6% to approximately $898,000, compared to
approximately $912,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Earned
income from financing leases for the six months ended June 30, 2004
decreased 45.6% to approximately $15,000 compared to approximately
$27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of the
amortization of the principal balances on the financing leases and the
disposition of two equipment leases, one in the fourth quarter of 2003
and the other in the first quarter of 2004. Operating expenses were approximately $471,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, an increase of 2.2% compared to approximately $461,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense decreased by
approximately $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the prior period. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $17,000 due to increased professional fees and an increase
in reserve for bad debt. 10

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately
$3,000 compared to approximately $16,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2003. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is
principally attributable to the sale of an equipment lease with an
investment value of approximately $140,000 for net cash proceeds of
approximately $142,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $2,000 and
miscellaneous income from late charges of approximately $5,000. These
income amounts are partially offset by an expense of approximately $6,000
relating to the final settlement on a repossessed equipment package which
yielded net proceeds of approximately $6,000. The other income for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 is principally due to the sale of an
equipment lease for net cash proceeds of approximately $24,000 in 2003,
resulting in a gain of approximately $6,000, and miscellaneous income
from late charges of approximately $8,000. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnerships net income from
continuing operations decreased 10.0% to approximately $444,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to approximately $494,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2003. Discontinued operations for the six months ended June 2003 reflect the
result of the Red Robin property that was sold in the third quarter of
2003. The sale was triggered by the tenants exercise of a purchase
option clause in the lease agreement. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnerships net income decreased
23.2% to approximately $444,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
compared to approximately $578,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 The Partnership announced second quarter distributions of $275,000 of
which $237,280 was distributed to certain limited partners on July 15,
2004. The balance of $37,720 was distributed on May 14 2004 and June 14,
2004 to those limited partners electing to receive distributions on a
monthly basis. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS The Partnership commenced the Offering of up to 20,000 Units, priced at
$1,000 per Unit, on August 12, 1994. The Partnership accepted
subscriptions for the minimum number of Units on January 24, 1995, and
immediately commenced operations. The Offering reached final funding on
August 12, 1996, having received subscriptions for the entire 20,000
Units and funds totaling $20,000,000. Net proceeds after Offering
expenses were $17.4 million. In November 1998, the Partnership entered into a $6.2 million note. The
Partnership entered into an additional $2.0 million note in March 1999.
Proceeds from the notes were used to acquire additional properties and
equipment. The notes each have a 10-year term, are collateralized by
certain properties subject to operating leases, and bear interest at
rates of 8.37% and 8.50% per annum, respectively. In September 2003, the
Partnership defeased approximately $1,979,000 of these notes payable with
proceeds from the sale of a Red Robin property. Debt issuance costs of
approximately $478,000 incurred in connection with the issuance of the
notes are being amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense
using the straight-line method, which is not materially different than
the interest rate method. As of June 30, 2004, the Partnership had invested $16.1 million in 13 net
leased real estate properties and $943,000 in 4 performing equipment
leases. The remaining net investment in the Partnerships leased
equipment is $323,000, after cumulative principal collections of
$619,000. Inclusive of the above amount, the Partnership has received
approximately $3.3 million of aggregate principal collections on its
financing leases during the life of those investments. As of June 30,
2004, the Partnership has not made any commitments to purchase additional
properties or equipment, nor does it intend to make any such commitments. The Partnership annually considers written requests to repurchase Units
pursuant to the terms of the repurchase plan set forth in the
Partnerships prospectus with respect to the Offering. Since 11

1997, a
total of 367 Units have been repurchased by the Partnership. The
Partnership expects to fund future Unit repurchases out of working
capital reserves and net sale or refinancing proceeds, but may also fund
such repurchases out of cash flow. The Partnership is not obligated to
accept Unit repurchase requests if the General Partner determines that
such purchases would impair the capital or operation of the Partnership
and the Partnership may suspend or cancel the Repurchase Plan at any time
in its sole discretion. The Partnership expects that only limited amounts of liquid assets will
be required for existing properties since its property and equipment
leases require tenants and lessees to pay all taxes and assessments,
maintenance and repairs and insurance premiums, including casualty
insurance thereby minimizing the Partnerships operating expenses and
capital requirements. The General Partner expects that the cash flow to
be generated by the Partnerships properties and equipment will provide
adequate liquidity and capital resources to pay operating expenses and
provide distributions to Limited Partners. 
 ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures Mr. Beach acting in his capacity as the principal executive officer of
GP3 Asset Acquisition is ultimately responsible for the disclosure and
procedures of the Partnership. Disclosure controls and procedures are
established and maintained by the Partnership to ensure the information
required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files
or submits pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms. Mr. Beach
has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnerships disclosure controls
and procedures and has determined that these controls and procedures
effectively communicate the information required to be disclosed by the
Partnership in the report it files or submits under the Act in a manner
that allows timely decisions regarding such disclosures. There have been no significant changes in the Partnerships internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the evaluation date, including, but not limited
to, any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses. 12
