INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP'S (the "Partnership") audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 which are included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. 1. 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. 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.

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 November 15, 1998, the Partnership paid a distribution of $123,037 to the limited partners and $1,243 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 Except for historical information provided in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, statements made in this document are forward-looking and contain information about financial results, economic conditions, trends, and known uncertainties. The Partnership cautions the reader that actual results could differ materially from those expected by the Partnership. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1998, the Partnership had $656,213 in cash and cash equivalents which was available for working capital requirements, cash distributions, and the Partnership's cash reserves. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership generated $124,000 and $384,000, respectively, of adjusted cash from operations after debt service, capital improvements, and adjustments to the Partnership's cash reserves. Year-to-date operations are in line with the 1998 operating plan. The Partnership expects capital expenditures to be 11% below those planned at the start of the year. The Partnership paid the first quarter 1998 distribution of $130,494 or $5.25 per Unit on May 15, 1998 and the Partnership's second quarter 1998 cash distribution of $125,274 or $5.04 per Unit on August 15, 1998. The Partnership will pay the third quarter distribution of $123,037 or $4.95 per Unit on November 15, 1998. The distributions represent the respective quarter's adjusted cash from operations. The Partnership plans to distribute cash quarterly to the extent cash is available from operations after debt service, capital, and changes to cash reserves for liabilities and capital expenditures, until the sale of the Partnership's remaining two properties. The Partnership plans to market Waterford Apartments for sale in the fourth quarter of 1998 and Versailles Village in the first quarter of 1999. Current plans assume the sale of the apartment projects in the first half of 1999. Once the Partnership completes the sales of the two remaining properties, the Partnership will distribute the net sales proceeds to the limited partners as part of a complete liquidation and Partnership termination. Results of Operations Decreases were reflected in the statement of operations, except for depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 1998, as the result of the sale of Stonebridge Manor Apartments in October 1997. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, assets held for sale are no longer depreciated, and therefore, because Stonebridge Manor Apartments was held for sale as of July 1997, depreciation was not recorded for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The Partnership's results reflect the following changes relative to the two remaining properties. At Waterford Apartments, rental income increased 6.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared with the same periods in 1997, due to an increase in rental rates. An increase in water usage and higher payroll costs partially offset the increase in revenue, netting an increase in property net operating income of 4% for the three months and 7.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. At Versailles Village, strong occupancy in the first and second quarters of 1998 and an increase in rates led to higher rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. A slight decrease in occupancy offset the increase in rates resulting in flat rental revenue at Versailles Village for the third quarter. Property operating expense increased at Versailles Village for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared with the same periods in 1997, due to an increase in carpet, paint and cleaning expense. In addition, payroll costs (general and administrative expense) were higher at Versailles Village due to a staffing vacancy in 1997. As a result of net revenue and expense increases, property net operating income decreased 3% for the three months and 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared with the same periods in 1997 at Versailles Village. Fees and reimbursements to affiliates decreased because of a drop in the property management fees (resulting from the sale of Stonebridge Manor), lower partnership management fees as a result of less cash available for distribution (resulting from the sale of Stonebridge Manor), and a savings in 1998 on printing costs. 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: 1997 1998 ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ At 3/31 At 6/30 At 9/30 At 12/31 At 3/31 At 6/30 At 9/30 ------- ------- ------- -------- ------- ------- ------- 1.
