PART I This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. ITEM 1. BUSINESS Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III ("KRF-III") was formed on April 23, 1982 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. KRF- III issued all of the General Partner Interest to two General Partners, The Krupp Company, a Massachusetts limited partnership, and The Krupp Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation. KRF-III also issued all of the Original Limited Partner Interests to The Krupp Company. On June 4, 1982, KRF-III commenced an offering of up to 25,000 units of Investor Limited Partner Interests (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. As of September 29, 1982, KRF-III received subscriptions for all 25,000 Units and therefore, the public offering was successfully completed on that date. For details, see Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report. The primary business of KRF-III is to acquire, operate, and ultimately dispose of real estate. KRF-III initially acquired five multi-family apartment complexes (Druid Valley, Willow Lake, Brookeville, Dorsey's Forge/Oakland Meadows and Hannibal Grove Apartments) and an office building (Woodlake Office Park). KRF- III considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, investment in real estate. KRF-III sold Druid Valley and Willow Lake in 1991 and Woodlake Office Park in 1992. On July, 1, 1993, the General Partners formed Brookeville Apartments Limited Partnership ("Brookeville L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Brookeville Apartments ("Brookeville") with the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of Brookeville to Brookeville L.P. The General Partner of Brookeville L.P. is the Westcop Corporation ("Westcop") and KRF-III is the Limited Partner of Brookeville L.P. Westcop has beneficially assigned its interest in Brookeville L.P. to KRF-III. KRF-III and Brookeville L.P. are collectively known as Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and Subsidiary (the "Partnership"). The Partnership's real estate investments are subject to some seasonal fluctuations due to changes in utility consumption and seasonal maintenance expenditures. However, the future performance of the Partnership will depend upon factors which cannot be predicted. Such factors include general economic and real estate market conditions, both on a national basis and in those areas where the Partnership's investments are located, real estate tax rates, operating expenses, energy costs, government regulations, and federal and state income tax laws. The requirements for compliance with federal, state and local regulations to date have not had an adverse effect on the Partnership's operations, and no adverse effect therefrom is anticipated in the future. The Partnership's investments in real estate are also subject to such risks as (I) competition from existing and future projects held by other owners in the areas of the Partnership's properties, (ii) possible reduction in rental income due to an inability to maintain high occupancy levels, (iii) possible adverse changes in mortgage interest rates, (iv) possible adverse changes in general economic and local conditions, such as competitive over-building, increased unemployment or adverse changes in real estate zoning laws, (v) the possible future adoption of rent control legislation which would not permit the full amount of increased costs to be passed on to tenants in the form of rent increases, and (vi) other circumstances over which the Partnership may have little or no control. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership did not employ any personnel. Recent Development On January 28, 2000 KRF3 Acquisition Company, L.L.C. ("KR3"), KRF Company, L.L.C., and The Krupp Family Limited Partnership - 94, affiliates of the General Partner, filed a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with respect to KR3's proposal to merge KRF-III with and into KR3. Under the terms of the proposed merger, each unitholder of KRF-III other than KR3 and certain unitholders that have agreed to reinvest their units in KR3 will receive $600 in cash for each outstanding investor limited partnership interest owned by it. KR3 was initially organized for the purpose of effecting a tender offer for the units of the Partnership, pursuant to which it acquired 10,304 units, or approximately 41.2% of the outstanding units, for a price of $550 per unit, in June 1999. KR3 later purchased a total of 1,637.5 units, for a price of $600 per unit, from various investment management professionals, increasing its ownership to approximately 47.9% of the outstanding units. The General Partners of the Partnership have filed definitive proxy materials with the SEC with respect to the proposed merger, which is subject to certain conditions, including approval by unitholders of the merger and related amendments to KRF-III's partnership agreement. On March 24, 2000, the proxy statement was mailed to the unitholders of KRF-III. KRF-III estimates that the merger, if approved by unitholders, will be completed in the second quarter of 2000. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had leveraged investments in three apartment complexes having an aggregate of 990 units. A summary of the Partnership's real estate investments is presented below. Schedule III included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report contains additional detailed information with respect to individual properties. Average Occupancy For the Year Ended December 31, Year ---------------------------- Description Acquired Total Units 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ----------- -------- ----------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Brookeville Apartments Columbus, Ohio 1983 424 Units 96% 99% 98% 95% 94% Hannibal Grove Apartments Columbia, Maryland 1983 316 Units 97% 100% 100% 94% 93% Dorsey's Forge and Oakland Meadows Apartments Columbia, Maryland 1983 250 Units 97% 100% 99% 94% 94% ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is a party or of which any of its property is the subject. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The transfer of Units of Limited Partner Interest is subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement. There is no public market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any such public market will develop. The number of Investor Limited Partners as of December 31, 1999 was approximately 585. One of the objectives of the Partnership is to generate cash available for distribution, however, there is no assurance that future operations will generate cash available for distribution. The Partnership discontinued distributions during 1990 because of insufficient operating cash flow. In 1994, however, property operations improved and distributions were reinstituted and paid in August, 1994 at a rate of $3.97 per Unit and increased to annual rates of $11.90, $15.86 and $23.79 per Unit in 1995, 1996 and 1998, respectively. Beginning with the distribution payable in February, 1999, the General Partners increased the annual distribution rate to $31.72 per Unit, as a direct result of continued successful operations at the Partnership's properties. The Partnership made the following distributions to its Partners during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998: Year Ended December 31, --------------------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------------ ------------------ Amount Per Unit Amount Per Unit -------- -------- -------- -------- Limited Partners: Investor Limited Partners (25,000 Units outstanding) $793,086 $31.72 $594,752 $23.79 Original Limited Partner 33,391 25,045 General Partners 8,348 6,261 -------- -------- $834,825 $626,058 ======== ======== ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table sets forth selected financial information regarding the Partnership's financial position and operating results. This information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in Items 7 and 8 of this report, respectively. 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total revenue $ 7,848,536 $ 7,608,315 $ 7,280,181 $ 6,628,658 $ 6,352,337 Net income (loss) 536,168 536,483 (23,224) (446,360) (547,893) Net income (loss) allocated to: Investor Limited Partners 509,360 509,659 (22,063) (424,042) (520,498) Per Unit 20.37 20.39 (.88) (16.96) (20.82) Original Limited Partner 21,447 21,459 (929) - - General Partners 5,361 5,365 (232) (22,318) (27,395) Total assets at December 31 11,216,742 11,982,905 12,354,768 13,224,310 14,384,144 Long-term obligations at December 31 8,269,080 18,289,553 18,726,677 19,126,371 19,491,853 Distributions: Investor Limited Partners 793,086 594,752 396,500 396,500 297,495 Per Unit 31.72 23.79 15.86 15.86 11.90 Original Limited Partner 33,391 25,045 16,697 16,697 12,526 General Partners 8,348 6,261 4,174 4,174 3,132 The per Unit distributions for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $31.72, $23.79, $15.86, $15.86, and $11.90, respectively, none of which represented a return of capital. Prior performance of the Partnership is not necessarily indicative of future operations. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Management's expectations regarding the future financial performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is dependent primarily upon the operations of its real estate investments. Such ability is also dependent upon the future availability of bank borrowings and the potential refinancing and sale of the Partnership's remaining real estate investments. These sources of liquidity will be used by the Partnership for payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital expenditures, debt service and expenses. Cash Flow, if any, as calculated under Section 8.2(a) of the Partnership Agreement, will then be available for distribution to the Partners. In 1994, distributions were reinstituted and paid in August, 1994 at a rate of $3.97 per Unit and increased to an annual rate of $11.90 and $15.86 per Unit in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Thereafter, the Partnership continued semiannual distributions at an annual rate of $15.86 until February, 1998 at which time the Partnership increased the annual distribution rate to $23.79 per Unit. Beginning with the distribution paid in February, 1999, the General Partners increased the annual distribution rate to $31.72 per Unit, as a direct result of continued successful operations at the Partnership's properties. The Partnership is planning to spend approximately $1,900,000 for capital improvements at its properties in 2000. The Partnership believes that the improvements are necessary to compete in its current markets, produce quality rental units and absorb excess market supply at the properties' respective locations and to maintain current occupancy levels. Renovations include carpeting, appliances, pavement upgrades and both interior and exterior building improvements. The Partnership expects to fund these improvements from established reserves and cash generated from property operations to the extent available. In the event cash flow and reserves are not adequate to fund capital improvements the general partner may suspend distributions and/or increase borrowings. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.137. ("FAS137") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - deferral of the Effective Date of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133." FAS 137 amended FAS 133 by deferring the effective date to fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The General Partners believe that the implementation of FAS 137 will not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements. Year 2000 The General Partners of the Partnership have conducted an assessment of the Partnership's core internal and external computer information systems and have taken the necessary steps to understand the nature and extent of the work required to make its systems Year 2000 ready. They have evaluated Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to its non-financial systems and have received assurances from third-party service providers (including but not limited to its telecommunications providers and banks) with regard to their Year 2000 readiness. The General Partners completed the testing and conversion of the Partnerships financial accounting operating systems in February 1998. As a result, the General Partners have generated operating efficiencies and believe their financial accounting operating systems are Year 2000 ready. The General Partners incurred hardware costs as well as consulting and other expenses related to the infrastructure and facilities enhancements necessary to complete the upgrade and prepare for the Year 2000. There are no other significant internal systems or software that the Partnership is using at the present time. To date, the Partnership has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any significant cost associated with being Year 2000 compliant. To date, the Partnership has not had, and does not expect to have, any Year 2000 related problems. Operations 1999 compared to 1998 Net income remained stable in 1999 when compared to 1998, with increases in total revenue offset by increases in total expenses. Total revenue increased in 1999 when compared to 1998, primarily due to rental rate increases implemented at all of the Partnership's properties. Total expenses increased in 1999 when compared to 1998, with increases in operating, maintenance and general and administrative expenses. These increases were partly offset by decreases in depreciation and interest expense. Operating expense increased in 1999 as a result of an increase in workmen's compensation expense over 1998 due to a favorable adjustment in 1998 as a result of favorable claims experience as well as increases in payroll and utility expenses. Maintenance increased due to increases in snow removal expenses at all properties during the first quarter, increases in landscaping expenses at Dorsey's Forge and Brookeville and increases in plumbing expenses at Dorsey's Forge and Hannibal Grove. General and administrative expenses increased as a result of increases in legal costs primarily associated with the Partnership's response to the unsolicited tender offer made by Madison Liquidity Investors 104, LLC to purchase Partnership units. Depreciation expense decreased as fixed assets previously purchased became fully depreciated. Interest expense decreased with the decrease in mortgage principal balances. 1998 compared to 1997 Net income increased in 1998 when compared to 1997, with an increase in total revenue and a decrease in total expenses. Total revenue increased in 1998 when compared to 1997, primarily due to rental rate increases implemented at all of the Partnership's properties. Total expenses decreased in 1998 when compared to 1997, with decreases in operating, general and administrative and depreciation expenses. Operating expenses decreased due to a reduction in liability and workers compensation expense at the Partnership properties, due to lower claims experience. General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of 1997 legal costs relating to the unsolicited tender offers to purchase Partnership Units. Depreciation expense decreased as fixed asset additions purchased in previously years became fully depreciated. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See Appendix A to this report.

F-7 KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Organization Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III ("KRF-III") was formed on April 23, 1982 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. KRF-III terminates on December 31, 2020, unless earlier terminated upon the sale of the last of KRF-III's properties or the occurrence of certain other events as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. KRF-III issued all of the General Partner Interests to The Krupp Company, a Massachusetts limited partnership, and The Krupp Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, in exchange for capital contributions aggregating $1,000. Except under certain limited circumstances upon termination of KRF-III, the General Partners are not required to make any additional capital contributions. KRF- III also issued all of the Original Limited Partner Interests to The Krupp Company in exchange for a capital contribution of $4,000. The Original Limited Partner is not required to make any additional capital contributions to KRF-III. On June 4, 1982, KRF-III commenced an offering of up to 25,000 units of Investor Limited Partner Interests (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. As of September 29, 1982, KRF-III received subscriptions for all 25,000 Units and therefore, the public offering was successfully completed on that date. In 1993, the General Partners formed Brookeville Apartments Limited Partnership ("Brookeville L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Brookeville Apartments ("Brookeville") with the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of Brookeville to Brookeville L.P. The General Partner of Brookeville L.P. is the Westcop Corporation ("Westcop") and KRF-III is the Limited Partner in Brookeville L.P. Westcop has beneficially assigned its interest in Brookeville L.P. to KRF-III. KRF-III and Brookeville L.P. are collectively known as Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and Subsidiary (the "Partnership"). B. Significant Accounting Policies The Partnership uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those used for federal income tax purposes (see Note H). Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated assets, liabilities and operations of the Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Risks and Uncertainties The Partnership invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market funds with commercial banks. The Partnership has not experienced any losses to date on its invested cash. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Continued F-8 KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued B. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership includes all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The cash investments are recorded at cost, which approximates current market values. Rental Revenues Leases require the payment of rent monthly in advance. Rental revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Depreciation Depreciation is provided for by the use of the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings and improvements 5 to 25 years Appliances, carpeting and equipment 3 to 8 years Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Real estate assets and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations on a property by property basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, those assets shall be reduced to fair value. Deferred Expenses Costs of obtaining and recording mortgages are amortized over the life of the related mortgage notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Income Taxes The Partnership is not liable for federal or state income taxes as Partnership income or loss is allocated to the Partners for income tax purposes. In the event the Partnership's tax returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority and the examination results in a change in Partnership taxable income or loss, such change will be reported to the Partners. Continued F-9 KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued B. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Descriptive Information About Reportable Segments The Partnership operates and develops apartment communities which generate rental and other income through the leasing of apartment units. The General Partners separately evaluate the performance of each of the Partnership's apartment communities. However, because each of the apartment communities have similar economic characteristics, facilities, services and tenants, the apartment communities have been aggregated into a single dominant apartment communities segment. All revenues are from external customers and no revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. There are no tenants which contributed 10% or more of the Partnership's total revenue during 1999, 1998 or 1997. C. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following: December 31, ----------------------------- 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Cash and money market accounts $ 373,380 $ 682,656 Commercial paper 348,938 249,409 ----------- ----------- $ 722,318 $ 932,065 =========== =========== Continued F-10 KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued D. Mortgage Notes Payable The properties owned by the Partnership are pledged as collateral for the non- recourse mortgage notes outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Mortgage notes payable consisted of the following: Principal Annual ------------------------- Interest Property 1999 1998 Rate Maturity Date ---------------- ----------- ----------- --------- --------------- Brookeville Apartments $ 8,351,909 $ 8,428,579 7.75% August 1, 2028 Dorsey's Forge Apartments and Oakland Meadows Apartments 4,210,866 4,363,601 9.25% May 3, 2000 Hannibal Grove Apartments 5,726,778 5,934,497 9.25% May 3, 2000 ----------- ----------- Total $18,289,553 $18,726,677 =========== =========== Brookeville Apartments The property is subject to a non-recourse mortgage note in the original amount of $8,755,000, insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The mortgage note requires monthly payments of $60,600 consisting of principal and interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum. In addition, the Partnership is required to fund a monthly deposit of $5,158 to an escrow account to be used for future property replacements and improvements and a mortgage insurance premium deposit equal to .5% per annum of the outstanding principal balance. The note matures on August 1, 2028. In accordance with HUD regulations, distributions are limited to the extent of Surplus Cash, as defined by the Regulatory Agreement. The mortgage note payable is collateralized by the property and may be prepaid during the five years beginning August 1, 1998, subject to an annual declining prepayment penalty of 5% to 1%, respectively. After August 1, 2003, there is no prepayment penalty. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is approximately $8,010,000 and $9,446,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Hannibal Grove Apartments ("Hannibal") and Dorsey's Forge and Oakland Meadows Apartments ("Dorsey's") The properties are subject to non-recourse mortgage notes for Hannibal and Dorsey's in the original amounts of $6,800,000 and $5,000,000, respectively, payable at a rate of 9.25% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are $62,333 for Hannibal and $45,833 for Dorsey's. The notes mature on May 3, 2000 at which time all unpaid principal, $5,653,175 (Hannibal) and $4,156,746 (Dorsey's), and any accrued interest are due. The mortgage notes payable are collateralized by the respective properties and may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty. The prepayment penalty will be the greater of 1) the principal balance multiplied by the difference between 9.4301% and the yield rate on publicly traded U.S. Treasury Securities having the closest matching maturity date as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or 2) one percent of the then outstanding principal. Continued F-11 KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued D. Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt for Hannibal and Dorsey's is approximately $5,746,000 and $4,225,000 at December 31, 1999 and $6,118,000 and $4,449,000 at December 31, 1998, respectively. Due to restrictions on transfers and prepayment, the Partnership may be unable to refinance certain mortgage notes payable at such calculated fair value. The aggregate scheduled principal amounts of long-term borrowings due during the five years ending December 31, 2004 are $10,020,473, $89,480, $96,667 $104,430 and $112,818.
