Abstract: A {em signed magic rectangle} $SMR(m,n;k,s)$ is an $mimesn$ array with entries from $X$, where $$ $$ if $mk$ is odd and $X=pm1,pm2,ldots,pmmk/2$ if $mk$ is even, such that precisely $k$ cells in every row and $s$ cells in every column are filled, every integer from set $X$ appears exactly once in the array and the sum of each row and of each column is zero. In this paper, we prove that a signed magic rectangle $SMR(m,n;k,3)$ exists if and only if $3leqm,kleqn$ and $mk=3n$.
