                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:     BUSINESS ACTIVITY

            Transition Auto Finance III, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas
            corporation organized May 26, 1999. The Company was established to
            purchase motor vehicles and automobile lease contracts, collecting
            and servicing automobile lease contracts and remarketing motor
            vehicles upon termination of their leases. Transition Leasing
            Management, Inc. (Transition Leasing) owns 100% of the Company's
            common stock.

            Trust Management, Inc. serves as the trustee for the Company under
            the Indenture Agreement. The Company defaulted on the investor notes
            administered by Trust Management, Inc. in December 2004. Upon the
            default of the investor notes payable, Trust Management, Inc.
            receives all receipts collected by the Company and approves all of
            the Company's disbursements. Trust Management, Inc. will pay note
            holders any unpaid principal, ratably, without preference as well as
            any other unpaid allowable costs incurred by the Company.

NOTE 2:     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

            For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
            all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
            less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

            The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in
            Dallas, Texas. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the
            Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company
            has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is
            not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash and cash
            equivalents.

            All cash balances starting in 2005 are restricted in nature and
            managed by Trust Management, Inc. due to the Company being in
            default of their Indenture Agreement. All cash distributions from
            these accounts must be authorized by Trust Management, Inc. and are
            for the sole purpose of repaying investor notes payable after any
            authorized expenses have been paid.

            REVENUE

            The vehicles are leased to individuals under leases with terms
            ranging from thirty-six to forty-eight months. The leases are
            considered to be operating leases. At the end of the lease period,
            the lessee may purchase the equipment at the contractual residual
            value plus any other outstanding.

NOTE 2:     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

            items due. Monthly lease payments are recognized as revenue in the
            month that the payments are due. The vehicle leases require a down
            payment from the lessee at the inception of the lease.

            The down payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue and
            then recognized as income over the term of the leases on a
            straight-line basis.

            ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

            The Company provides for uncollectible accounts receivable using the
            allowance method of accounting for bad debts. Under this method of
            accounting, a provision for uncollectible accounts is charged to
            earnings. The allowance account is increased or decreased based on
            past collection history and management's evaluation of accounts
            receivable. All amounts considered uncollectible are charged against
            the allowance account and recoveries of previously charged-off
            accounts are added to the allowance.

      VEHICLES HELD FOR SALE

            Vehicles held for sale are leased vehicles in which the lease term
            has expired or that have been repossessed. Vehicles held for sale
            are valued at the lower of cost or fair value. The cost is the net
            book value of the vehicle after it has been returned to the Company
            either through repossession or early termination of the lease.
            Generally these vehicles will be released or sold at auction by the
            Company with in a year.

            The Company implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
            Statement No. 144, Impaired Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets
            to Be Disposed of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded
            on long-lived assets used in operation when indicators of impairment
            are present. An impairment loss of $16,208 has been recorded for two
            vehicles held for sale in these financial statements for the year
            ended December 31, 2004. The impairment was determined based on
            their fair market value and ultimate sales price in 2005.

      PROPERTY

            Property consists of leased vehicles, which are stated at cost less
            accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided in amounts
            sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations
            over their estimated service lives using the straight-line-method.
            Leased vehicle depreciation is calculated over the term of the
            vehicle lease, using the cost of the vehicle less the estimated
            residual value of the vehicle at the end of the lease. Present
            leases have terms ranging from thirty-six to forty-eight months.

      OTHER ASSETS

            Other assets include debt issuance costs incurred in connection with
            the Company's offering of securities filed with the Securities and
            Exchange Commission. These costs are being amortized, on a
            straight-line basis, over the term of the debt securities which
            mature on December 31, 2004.

      DEFERRED REVENUE

            Deferred revenue consists of down payments made by lessees at the
            inception of the lease. The down payments are amortized over the
            lease term. Lease terms range from thirty-six to forty-eight months.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

            Fair values of financial instruments are estimated to approximate
            the related book value, unless otherwise indicated, based on market
            information available to the Company.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

            In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is
            required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
            amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
            assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
            the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
            period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

            A majority of the lessees are residents of the Dallas/Fort Worth
            Metroplex. Vehicles are used as collateral for leases.

NOTE 3:     INCOME TAXES

            The Company is a corporation subject to federal and state income
            taxes. The Company and its parent intend to file a consolidated tax
            return. Each company in the consolidated group determines its
            taxable income or loss, on a separate company basis, and the
            consolidated tax liability is allocated to each company with taxable
            income in proportion to the total of the taxable income amounts.

                                  (Continued)

            The Company has a deferred tax asset as of approximately $1,720,000
            and $1,288,000 December 31, 2004 and 2003 (primarily from net
            operating loss carry-forward), which has been completely offset by
            recognition of a valuation allowance.

            The Company has a net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward of
            approximately $5,787,000 and $4,680,000 as of December 31, 2004 and
            2003 respectively. The Company's NOL carry-forward expires between
            December 31, 2020 and 2022.

NOTE 4:     INVESTOR NOTES PAYABLE

            The Company has issued $6,786,000 of fixed rate redeemable
            asset-backed notes (Investor Notes) as of June 30, 2005 and December
            31, 2004.

            These Investor Notes were issued pursuant to a public offering on
            Form SB-2 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Investor Notes bear
            interest at the rate of 11%. Interest payments ceased after the 2004
            default.

            The Investor Notes were issued at various times during 2001 and
            2000, however the maturity date for all of the Investor Notes is
            December 31, 2004. The Investor Notes are collateralized by the
            following:

                  1.    Automobile contracts for the leasing of new or late
                        model automobiles.
                  2.    The leased vehicles.

            As of June 30, 2005 the Company has repaid $107,407 of the Investor
            Notes.

            The Investor Notes matured on December 31, 2004, and the Company was
            unable to pay the remaining debt. The Company defaulted on the
            investor notes as of December 31, 2004. As of that date, all income
            from leasing activities is used to repay Investor Notes. All Company
            disbursements require approval of Trust Management, Inc.

NOTE 5:     RELATED PARTIES

            The Company has entered into a Servicing Agreement with Transition
            Leasing. Transition Leasing will be entitled to a servicing fee of
            $20 per month per contract and a payment of $150 per contract
            purchased. Transition Leasing will receive, as a marketing fee,
            57.5% of the down payment made by the customers with respect to
            contracts it originates. Transition Leasing will receive from the
            Company a Releasing Fee of 57.5% of the down payment with respect to
            a new contract following repossession of a leased vehicle. The
            Company paid Transition Leasing $243,480 in 2004 and $217,310 in
            2003 for servicing, documentation and marketing fees. The Company
            has a payable to an affiliate for $1,335 and $13,640 at December 31,
            2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE 6:     GOING CONCERN

            The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
            conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which
            contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
            Company has sustained recurring losses from operations, negative
            working capital, a negative equity position and has defaulted on
            investor notes payable due in 2004. Management will attempt to
            service existing leases and raise additional capital and/or secure
            additional financing in order to repay the investor notes payable.
            Management recognizes that full repayment may take several years to
            complete and that full repayment may not occur. This situation
            raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
            a going concern.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussions and analysis relates to factors that have
affected the operating results of the Company for the quarter ended June 30,
2005. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004, as presented, is derived from the
audited financial statements at that date.

General.

      As of June 30, 2004, the Company had sold $6,786,000 of its 11% Redeemable
Secured Notes and had 162 active leases with a net book value of $1,304,179.

Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to three
months ended June 30, 2004.

      For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the company had received monthly
contract lease payments of $145,277 and amortization of down payments of
$62,986. This compares to contract lease payments of $228,635 and amortization
of down payments of $83,337 for the same period in 2004. The decrease in monthly
contract lease payments for the second quarter of 2005 was primarily the result
of fewer active leases than in the second quarter of 2004.

      Operating costs including general and administrative expenses were $18,407
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005. This compares to $64,431 for the
same period in 2004. The higher operating expenses for the second quarter of
2004, compared to the same period for 2005, was due to more reposessions for
2004, and the cost associated with those repossessions.

      Depreciation and amortization was $95,684 for the three months ended June
30, 2005 compared to $182,473 for the second quarter of 2004. The fewer number
of active leases in the 2005 period resulted in lower rates of depreciation.

      Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $0 compared
to $186,729 for the same period in 2004. Due to the default in January 2005, all
payments to the noteholders were paid as principal.

      Loss on sale of inventory for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was $49,927
compared to $58,699 for the second quarter of 2004. The decreased loss on sale
of inventory for the 2005 period was primarily due to more favorable used
vehicle prices in the 2005 period and aging of the portfolio. When vehicles age,
they generally depreciate at a slower rate.

      The net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $46,136 compared to
a loss of $180,197 for the same period in 2004. The profit for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 was due to the fact that no interest was paid in the 2005
period.

Extension of Reinvestment Period

      On June 30, 2002, Transition Auto Finance II, Inc. defaulted on $6,280,000
of its 11% Redeemable Secured Notes. Due to the recession and September 11,
events, TAF II and TAF III experienced a larger than normal number of
repossessions. In an attempt to minimize the possibility of a default by TAF
III, the Company requested that the note-holders consent to an amendment to the
Indenture, which would extend the reinvestment period from December 31, 2002 to
December 31, 2004. The consent solicitation was approved by a majority of the
Note-holders and the indenture was amended to reflect the extended reinvestment
period. Between January 2003 and May 2003, no new leases were contracted,
pending the approval of the consent solicitation.

Results of Operations: Six- month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to six-
months ended June 30, 2004

      Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $439,796 compared
to $643,390 for the same period in 2004. The decrease in 2005 revenue was due to
a substantial decrease in the cost of vehicles leased which in turn generates
lower monthly lease payments and a decrease in the amounts of down payments and
the amortization of those down payments.

      Operating costs and expenses were $40,298 for the six month period ended
June 30, 2005 compared to $204,983 for the same period in 2004. The higher
expense for the 2004 period was due primarily to higher
<PAGE>
marketing fees paid in the 2004 period.

      Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$210,955 compared to $385,595 for the same period in 2004. The lower
depreciation and amortization for the 2005 period was due to a large number of
repossessions which reduced the size of the overall portfolio.

            Loss on sale of inventory for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$54,350 compared to $107,039 for the same period in 2004. The smaller loss on
sale of inventory for the 2005 period was due to an improved market for used
vehicles and aging of the portfolio.

            The Company had a profit of $132,361 for the six months ended June
30, 2005 compared to a loss of $427,087 for the same period in 2004. The profit
for the 2005 period was due to no interest paid in the 2005 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company provided cash of
$427,572 in its investing activities and used $172,142 from its financing
activities. For the same period in 2004, the Company used $163,515 in its
investing activities and used $8,910 from its financing activities.

      The Company's only source of liquidity in the future will be from proceeds
from the sale of repossessed vehicles, early terminations, and its monthly lease
payments after interest and other allowed expenses.

      The Company's portfolio, which consisted of 543 leases, included 465
leases, which resulted in early terminations. The information on the Company's
experience with respect to early terminations is set forth below:
