GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Readers of this quarterly report should refer to CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP'S (the "Partnership") audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 which are included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. 1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reflect management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. It is the opinion of management that the financial statements presented reflect all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations. B) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (the "Statement"). The Statement requires a writedown to fair value when long-lived assets to be held and used are impaired. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, including real estate held for sale, must be carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. In addition, the Statement prohibits depreciation of long-lived assets to be disposed. The Partnership adopted the Statement in the first quarter of 1996. During the first quarter, no depreciation was recorded for the Partnership's property held for sale, Stewart's Glen III. C) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Short term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are reported as cash equivalents. 2. NOTES AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE In March 1996, the mortgage note for Stewart's Glen III was extended from April 1, 1996 to May 1, 1996 with an option for an additional extension to July 1, 1996 subject to certain conditions including the execution of a purchase and sale agreement, in order for the Partnership to complete a sale of the property. On April 30, 1996, the Partnership completed the sale of Stewart's Glen III and retired the related mortgage note. The Partnership's $3,400,000 promissory note was paid in full on May 15, 1996. 3.

On-site property management services have been contracted by an affiliate of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and are paid directly by the Partnership to the third party companies. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On April 30, 1996, the Partnership completed the sale of Stewart's Glen III to AMLI Residential Properties, L.P. for a gross sales price of $7,853,900. After closing costs and payment of the first mortgage loan obligation, the Partnership netted approximately $2,890,000. For book purposes, the property had a carrying value of approximately $5,326,000 and the Partnership expects to record a gain of approximately $2,426,000. The Partnership utilized the net proceeds from the sale and the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents to retire the Partnership's $3,400,000 promissory note on May 15, 1996. 6 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had $2,764,000 in cash and cash equivalents which was available for working capital requirements, payment of liabilities, and the Partnership's cash reserves. The portfolio generated positive adjusted cash from operations after debt service, capital improvements and partnership expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of approximately $200,000. During the first quarter, the Partnership executed a letter of intent for the sale of the Stewart's Glen Apartments. In addition, the Partnership arranged a short-term extension of the Stewart's Glen mortgage maturity date to complete the sale. The sale was completed on April 30, 1996 to AMLI Residential, L.P. for a gross sales price of $7,853,900. After closing costs and payment of the first mortgage, the Partnership netted approximately $2,890,000. The Partnership expects to record a gain on the sale for both book and tax purposes. On May 15, 1996, the Partnership utilized the net proceeds from the Stewart's Glen sale together with approximately $510,000 from the Partnership's cash reserves to retire the Partnership's $3,400,000 Mellon Bank promissory note. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Rental income increased approximately $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995. Higher average occupancy and an increase in rental rates at Waterford Apartments, Stonebridge Manor and Versailles Village led to increases in rental income of approximately $38,000, $22,000 and $6,000, respectively. Modest rate increases offset a nominal decrease in average occupancy at Stewart's Glen. Other income increased for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995, due to higher lease break fees at Stewart's Glen and Stonebridge Manor. The increase in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995, was the result of a higher average cash balance offset by a slight decrease in interest rates on short term investments. Property operating expenses decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995, due to fewer carpet and vinyl replacements at Stonebridge. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995, was the result of a net decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts. Depreciation and amortization decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995. Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, adopted by the Partnership in the first quarter of 1996, prohibits depreciation of long-lived assets to be disposed. Accordingly, depreciation was not recorded for Stewart's Glen in the first quarter of 1996 as the property was held for sale. Partially offsetting the decrease was increased amortization of financing costs due to the April 1, 1995 Stonebridge Manor first mortgage refinance. 7 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) OCCUPANCY The following is a listing of approximate physical occupancy levels by quarter for the Partnership's investment properties: 1995 1996 ------------------------------------------------- ----------- AT 3/31 AT 6/30 AT 9/30 AT 12/31 AT 3/31 ------- ------- ------- -------- ------- 1.
