KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD. - III AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1)Accounting Policies Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the General Partners of Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and Subsidiary (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 for additional information relevant to significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership. In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 1999, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and its cash flows for six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with current period consolidated financial statement presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full year. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report.

Pursuant to the management agreements, management fees are payable monthly at a rate of 5% of the gross receipts from the properties under management. The Partnership also reimburses affiliates of the General Partners for certain expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Partnership and its properties, including administrative expenses. Amounts accrued or paid to the General Partners' affiliates were as follows: For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 Property management fees$95,712 $ 94,124 $192,321$186,940 Expense reimbursements 42,669 41,523 84,239 61,467 Charged to operations $138,381 $135,647 $276,560 $248,407 Due to affiliates consisted of expense reimbursements of $15,855 and $199,500 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD. - III AND SUBSIDIARY Item 2. 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. The semiannual distribution paid in February, 1999 represents an annualized rate of $31.72 per Unit. In the second quarter of 1999, occupancy rates for the Partnership's properties ("Properties") declined from the historically high levels achieved in 1998 of between 99% and 100% as of December 31, 1998 to approximately 97% (in the case of the Hannibal Grove Apartments), 96% (in the case of the Brookeville Apartments) and 95% (in the case of the Dorsey's Forge Apartments) as of June 30, 1999. Moreover, the managing agent for the Properties (an affiliate of the General Partners) ("Property Manager") granted increased rental concessions to tenants in order to achieve these occupancy rates. The Property Manager believes that this decline in occupancy rates is attributable to significantly increased competition resulting from newly constructed or renovated housing entering the markets served by the Properties, a trend that the Property Manager believes is expected to continue over the next several years. In March 1999, the Property Manager prepared a five year capital improvement plan (the "Capital Plan") setting forth capital improvements that it believes a third party purchaser of the Properties would regard as necessary to maintain the Properties' current occupancy and rent levels (subject to inflationary increases), in light of the increased competition in the markets served by the Partnership. The aggregate cost of implementing the Capital Plan is estimated to be approximately $10,000,000. The General Partners are in the process of reviewing the Capital Plan, which may not be practicable for the Partnership to implement promptly and fully because of the possible need for additional investment of capital, additional borrowings and/or the discontinuation of future cash distributions from the Partnership. However, the General Partners believe additional capital improvements will be needed in the future and will be over and above historical levels. Continued KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD. - III AND SUBSIDIARY Year 2000 The General Partners of the Partnership 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 in those situations in which it is required to do so. The Year 2000 readiness issue concerns the inability of computerized information systems to accurately calculate, store or use a date after 1999. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and organizations. In this regard, the General Partners of the Partnership, along with certain affiliates, began a computer systems project in 1997 to significantly upgrade its existing hardware and software. The General Partners completed the testing and conversion of the 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. The General Partners of the Partnership have evaluated Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to its non-financial systems, such as computer controlled elevators, boilers, chillers and other miscellaneous systems. The General Partners expect all Year 2000 compliance issues identified in its non- financial systems to be resolved by early in the fourth quarter. The General Partners of the Partnership do not believe that future efforts to achieve Year 2000 compliance in non-financial systems will result in material cost to the Partnership. The General Partners of the Partnership surveyed the Partnership's material third- party service providers (including but not limited to its banks and telecommunications providers) and significant vendors and received assurances that such providers and vendors are to be Year 2000 ready. The General Partners do not anticipate any problems with such providers and vendors that would materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or captial resources. Nevertheless, the General Partners are developing contingency plans for all of its mission-critical functions' to insure business continuity. In addition, the Partnership is also subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility and transportation company Year 2000 readiness failures and related service interruptions. However, the General Partners do not anticipate these would materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. To date, the Partnership has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any significant cost associated with being Year 2000 ready. Continued KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD. - III AND SUBSIDIARY Operations Net income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, as the increase in total expenses more than offset the increase in total revenue. While total revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to rental rate increases implemented at all the Partnership's properties, the increases achieved have not been significant, as had been planned. Total expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as a result of increases in operating, maintenance, general and administrative and depreciation expenses. Operating expense increased in 1999 as a result of an increase in workmen's compensation expense due to a one-time beneficial adjustment to the workmen's compensation reserve in 1998. Maintenance increased due to landscaping expenditures at Brookeville Apartments during the second quarter. Legal costs primarily associated with the Partnership's response to the tender offer made by Madison Liquidity Investors 104, LLC to purchase Partnership Units during the second quarter resulted in an increase in general and administrative expense. Depreciation expense increased in conjunction with increased capital improvements completed at the Partnership's properties.
