quarterly report should refer to CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP'S (the "Partnership") audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 which are included

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity 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. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. B) 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. DEFERRED CHARGES Deferred charges consist of the following: March 31, December 31, 1997 1996 Surety fee - Waterford Apartments mortgage note $ 963,910 $ 963,910 Costs of obtaining financing 765,532 765,532 --------------- --------------- 1,729,442 1,729,442 Accumulated amortization (646,733) (597,447) --------------- ---------------- $ 1,082,709 $ 1,131,995 =============== =============== 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Partnership's promissory note payable was guaranteed by an affiliate of the General Partner for an annual fee of 2% on the outstanding balance until the note was retired on May 15, 1996. Other fees and expenses related to the General Partner or its affiliates are as follows: Three Months Ended Unpaid at March 31, March 31, 1997 1996 1997 ---- ---- ---- Property management fees (a) $ 8,943 $ 11,405 $ 6,041 Partnership management fees 16,000 -- 16,000 Reimbursement (at cost) for out-of-pocket expenses 14,484 12,895 9,444 ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 39,427 $ 24,300 $ 31,485 =========== =========== =========== 5 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (Unaudited) (a) Does not include on-site property management fees earned by independent property management companies of $50,494 and $60,236 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 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. 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On May 15, 1997, the Partnership paid a distribution of $160,321 to the limited partners and $1,618 to the General Partner. 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, 1997, the Partnership had $804,444 in cash and cash equivalents which was available for working capital requirements, cash distributions, and the Partnership's cash reserves. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership generated $178,000 of adjusted cash from operations after debt service, capital improvements, and adjustments to the Partnership's cash reserves. For the Partnership's three remaining properties, results were materially unchanged when compared to the first quarter of the prior year and the plan set at the beginning of the year. As planned, beginning with the first quarter 1997, the Partnership has resumed cash distributions. Cash will be distributed to partners each quarter to the extent available from operations after debt service, capital, and changes to cash reserves for liabilities and capital expenditures. The Partnership's first quarter 1997 cash distribution of $160,321 or $6.45 per Unit is payable on May 15, 1997, and represents the first quarter's adjusted cash from operations. The Stonebridge mortgage loan is scheduled to mature on April 1, 1998. The Partnership plans to begin the marketing process in the second quarter to allow enough time to sell the property. New Orleans has a limited supply of quality projects and, because there have been very few sales of quality apartment properties in the recent past, New Orleans has not attracted investor interest. If the marketing of the property does not result in an acceptable offer, the Partnership will pursue a refinancing of the mortgage debt. If the Partnership is successful in selling the property, the net proceeds from the sale may be available to distribute to partners later this year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared with the same period in 1996, are the result of the sale of Stewart's Glen Apartments in April 1996. Interest income decreased due to a lower average cash balance. The reduction in the Partnership's cash balance was the result of a cash distribution to partners in December 1996. Fees and reimbursements to affiliates increased as a result of the partnership management fees. Management fees were earned on the first quarter 1997 cash distribution, payable on May 15, 1997. The Partnership did not distribute cash from operations for the first quarter of 1996. Interest expense decreased due to the retirement of the Stewart's Glen mortgage note upon sale of the property in April 1996, and the retirement of the $3,400,000 Mellon Bank promissory note on May 15, 1996. 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: 1996 1997 ---------------------------------------------- ------- At 3/31 At 6/30 At 9/30 At 12/31 At 3/31 1.
