BUSINESS The registrant, Connecticut General Realty Investors III Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on April 12, 1984, under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Connecticut to invest in primarily residential and, to a lesser extent, commercial real properties. On July 2, 1984, the Partnership commenced an offering of $25,000,000 (subject to increase up to $50,000,000) of Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") at $1,000 per Unit, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration No. 2-90944). The General Partner of the Partnership is CIGNA Realty Resources, Inc.- Fifth (the "General Partner"), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation ("CIGNA"), a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. A total of 24,856 Units was sold to the public prior to the offering's termination on July 1, 1986. The holders of 6,480 Units were admitted to the Partnership in 1984; the holders of 11,519 Units were admitted to the Partnership in 1985; the holders of the remaining 6,857 Units were admitted to the Partnership in 1986. From the 24,856 Units sold, the Partnership received net proceeds of $22,408,052. The holders of Units ("Unit Holders" or "Limited Partners") of the Partnership will share in the ownership of the Partnership's real property investments according to the number of Units held. Subsequent to admittance to the Partnership, no Unit Holder has made any additional capital contribution. The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate investment. A presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable. The Partnership is engaged in passive activities and therefore investors are subject to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. Losses from "passive activities" (which include any rental activity) may only offset income from "passive activities". Investors' passive losses in excess of passive income from all sources are suspended and are carried over to future years when they may be deducted against passive income generated by the Partnership in such year (including gain recognized on the sale of the Partnership's assets) or against passive income derived by investors from other sources. Any suspended losses remaining subsequent to Partnership dissolution may be used by investors to offset ordinary income. The Partnership acquired four residential complexes located in Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Illinois and one shopping center located in Florida. In order to acquire these properties, the Partnership invested $16,372,438 in cash, took or assumed $35,684,061 in mortgages, incurred $3,673,982 in acquisition fees and expenses, established reserves for improvements of $720,000 and established working capital reserves of $1,242,800. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to terminate on or before December 31, 2017. The Partnership anticipated that prior to its termination and dissolution, some or all of the Partnership's properties would be sold, the retention or sale of any property dependent, in part, on the anticipated remaining economic benefits of continued ownership. It was expected that most sales would occur after a period of ownership extending from five to ten years. The Partnership sold the Florida shopping center, Promenades Plaza, on September 22, 1994. The Partnership completed a sale of its Illinois apartment complex on April 30, 1996 and the sale of its New Orleans apartment complex on October 23, 1997. On March 8, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale to sell its investment in the Oklahoma apartment complex by April 13, 1999. The Partnership estimates that the Ohio apartment complex will be sold in 1999. Upon the sale of each of the properties, the net proceeds will be distributed to limited partners. In December 1993, the Partnership refinanced the first and second mortgages encumbering the Waterford Apartments property. The first mortgage, funded with multifamily housing revenue bonds issued by the Tulsa County Home Finance Authority, and the second mortgage were replaced with a new first mortgage. The replacement financing was also funded with newly issued multifamily housing revenue bonds issued by the Tulsa County Home Finance Authority. As a requirement of the new financing, the Waterford property had to be classified as single asset ownership. Since the Partnership owns multiple properties, a new partnership was created to house the Waterford property as its sole real estate asset. Waterford Partnership, a general partnership, was organized in the State of Connecticut with the Partnership as its managing general partner (99.9% interest) and the General Partner (0.1% interest) as the other general partner. The 3 interest of the General Partner in the new partnership is held in trust for the benefit of The Tulsa Corporation, a newly organized Delaware corporation, the stock of which is 100% owned by the Partnership. The Tulsa Corporation was created with the sole purpose of acting as the beneficiary of the General Partner's ownership interest in the Waterford Partnership. The new structure has no economic effect on the Partners nor does it require any changes in financial reporting for the Partnership. The Partnership has made the real property investments set forth in the following table: Versailles Village Promenades Waterford Stonebridge Stewart's Glen Apartments Plaza Shopping Apartments Manor Apartments Forest Park, Center Tulsa, Oklahoma Apartments Phase III Ohio Port Charlotte, New Orleans, Willowbrook, Florida (c) Louisiana (d) Illinois (e) Purchase $5,920,000 $10,486,000 $17,130,000 $11,326,014 $7,194,485 Price (a) Cash $2,120,000 $5,463,052 $3,441,666 $3,278,235 $2,069,485 Investment Initial $3,800,000 $5,022,948 $13,688,334 $8,047,779 $5,125,000 Mortgage Financing (b) Acquisition $433,986 $1,194,469 $806,350 $742,782 $496,395 Fees and Expenses Size 180 units 230,268 sq. ft. 344 units 264 units 104 units Date of 02/06/85 04/15/85 (sold 10/31/85 11/26/85 (sold 07/24/87 (sold Purchase 09/22/94) 10/23/97) 04/30/96) Type of Fee ownership Fee ownership Fee ownership Fee ownership Fee ownership Ownership subject to subject to subject to subject to subject to Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage ================= =================== =================== =================== ==================== =================== (a) Excludes all broker fees paid at closing.

(b) Reference is made to the Notes to Financial Statements included in this annual report for details on debt modifications, the current outstanding principal balances and a description of the long-term indebtedness secured by the Partnership's real property investments and to Schedule III for additional information. (c) Promenades Plaza added 14,624 square feet subsequent to acquisition. This property was sold September 22, 1994. Reference is made to the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of the sale. (d) This property was sold October 23, 1997. Reference is made to the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of the sale. (e) In July 1987, the Partnership acquired a 33% interest in the Phase III Apartment Venture, a joint venture with the General Partner, which was established as a temporary vehicle for providing the Partnership with the means to acquire the property without finalized mortgage arrangements, and, thereby, avoid being in default under the terms of the purchase agreement. On December 10, 1987 the Partnership received a commitment for permanent mortgage financing and, in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Partnership purchased the General Partner's joint venture interest. Funding of the purchase took place in January 1988. The information shown represents the Partnership's 100% ownership of the property. This property was sold April 30, 1996. Reference is made to the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of the sale. 4 Versailles Village Apartments is located in the City of Forest Park, Ohio, in the northwest section of Hamilton County, approximately 14 miles outside downtown Cincinnati. It is expected that Cincinnati's economy will decelerate in response to national and international forces. Cincinnati's economic expansion was steady in 1998 with employment up 2.8%, although this rate is expected to slow to 1.0% through 2003. Unemployment remained low in 1998 at 3.3%, below the national average of 4.4%, but is expected to climb to 4.2% by 2003. Population gains are expected to continue at approximately 0.6% in the short term. Per capita income in 1998 was $27,900 and ranked 46th out of 114 metro areas. However, incomes are expected to slow over the next several years with wages dropping below the national average. Both the manufacturing and service employment segments have led to positive employment trends in Ohio over the past few years. Following national trends, the service sector is expected to create the majority of new jobs in Ohio through the year 2000. Business, computer, personnel and medical services are some of the fastest growing industries in the area market. While manufacturing remains a significant presence in the area, the industry will post declines of approximately 1.4% per year through 2003. International weakness has hurt local steel production leading to price cuts and employment losses. Cutbacks in defense spending has slowed the growth at General Electric Aircraft Engines. Weakness in Asia has impacted Cincinnati-based Proctor & Gamble which recently announced a reorganization plan. Expansion in service industries will help offset the declines in manufacturing over the short term. The Cincinnati apartment market has rebounded from the lows experienced in the early 1990's. Apartment construction has been fairly active over the past couple of years, and is expected to continue as long as the local economy remains strong. Cincinnati posted 2,215 apartment unit starts in 1998, ranking 31st out of the top 114 metropolitan areas (80% of the annual average of 2,768 and 38% of the peak of 5,795). In the northwest area where Versailles Village is located, approximately 250 units were constructed in 1998. Although the market is absorbing the new units as they become available, the competition from newer units tends to limit rate increases. Home ownership continues to compete with the rental market due to the relative low cost of housing and low interest rates. Single-family housing permits totalled 8,700 in 1998 compared to multi-housing permits of 2,700. An older property, Versailles Village competes well with similar class C and B properties in its submarket of approximately 3,930 units although rates are generally lower than the competition due to its age. Versailles Village competes directly with 1,126 units. The property offers amenities similar to the competition but has much larger floor plans. Rental rates for two bedroom units are offered at $631 per month in the submarket and between $570 and $620 at Versailles Village. Versailles Village has planned to increase rates by approximately 3.4% in 1999. Occupancy at Versailles Village is in line with the market, averaging 94% to 97%. The Partnership plans to place the property on the market for sale during the second quarter of 1999. Waterford Apartments is located in South Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa remains one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country. Employment expansion at 2.65% in 1998 was slower than 1997 due to an expected slow down in the manufacturing segment. The rate of growth is anticipated to fall further to 1.5% in 1999. The majority of jobs created during 1998 was in the service sector. The services, transportation, communications and public utilities, finance, real estate, and construction segments all showed strong growth during the year. Additionally, Tulsa's unemployment rate of 3% remained below the national average of 4.4%. Tight labor markets continue to put upward pressure on wages, although Tulsa's per capita income remains below the national average. Home sales in Tulsa grew by approximately 15% in 1998 with the median price up 4%. Local markets were assisted by strong national and regional growth and low mortgage rates. Housing permits are expected to increase from 1998's total of 3,700 to 4,900 by the year 2003. Multifamily housing construction, which was at a virtual standstill in the early 1990s, experienced strong growth in the latter half of the decade. Approximately 2,200 apartment units have come on-line since 1996, half of which were Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties. Despite the rise in inventory, occupancy held steady at 94.5% in 1998 with rates up 6.5%. Over the next 18 months, approximately 2,900 units are planned for the Tulsa market, which will likely create an occupancy "softness" in the upper tier of the market. Despite economic expansion, occupancy could dip somewhat as the new construction supply is added. The southeast submarket where Waterford is located consists of approximately 20,080 units. Occupancy in the market was 94% with Waterford at 95% for 1998. Waterford is located only five miles outside the central business district in a well-maintained, vintage neighborhood. The property is a Class "A" luxury apartment complex and continues to hold an 5 advantage over the Tulsa luxury apartment market due to its superior location. While Waterford's unit sizes are smaller than the competition, Waterford compensates with mature landscaping, a variety of amenities and a focus on the upkeep of the units. When compared with the direct competition in the Tulsa rental market, Waterford's rental rates are above the average. Average rents for the direct competition are approximately $549 for one bedroom units and $729 for two bedroom units, while Waterford's average rental rates are approximately $575 for one bedroom units and $750 for two bedroom units. The property is expected to be sold in the second quarter of 1999, in line with the Partnership's liquidation objective and to capitalize on the strong Tulsa market. Approximate occupancy levels for the properties on a quarterly basis are set forth in the table in Item 2. The Partnership itself has no employees; however, the unaffiliated property managers engaged by CIGNA Investments, Inc. ("CII", formerly CIGNA Capital Advisers, Inc.) on behalf of the Partnership maintain on-site staff. For a description of asset management services provided by CII and the terms of transactions between the Partnership and affiliates of the General Partner, see Item 13 and the Notes to Financial Statements. The following list details gross revenues from operations for each of the Partnership's investment properties as a percentage of the Partnership's total gross revenues during 1996, 1997, and 1998. In each year, interest income accounted for the balance of gross revenues from operations. 1996 1997 1998 ---- ---- ---- 1. Versailles Village Apartments Forest Park, OH 23% 26% 36% 2.

PROPERTIES The Partnership owns directly (subject to existing first mortgage loans) the properties described in Item 1 herein. The Partnership's properties generally have lease terms of one year or less. In the opinion of the General Partner, the Partnership's properties continue to be adequately insured. 6 The following list compares approximate occupancy levels by quarter for the Partnership's investment properties during 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998: VERSAILLES VILLAGE PROMENADES WATERFORD STONEBRIDGE STEWART'S GLEN APARTMENTS PLAZA SHOPPING APARTMENTS MANOR APTS.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither the Partnership nor its properties are party to or the subject of any legal proceedings involving any material exposure. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS As of March 1, 1999, there were approximately 1,100 record Unit Holders. There is no established public trading market for Units. The General Partner will not redeem or repurchase the Units. The Revenue Act of 1987 contains provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in a "publicly traded partnership" ("PTP"). A PTP is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market or readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). If the Partnership were classified as a PTP, (i) the Partnership may be taxed as a corporation and (ii) the passive activity rules of section 469 are applied separately with respect to items attributable to each publicly traded partnership. On November 29, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued the Final PTP Regulations under section 1.7704-1. The Final PTP Regulations are effective for the tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. However, a transition rule exists for partnerships that were engaged in an activity before December 4, 1995 and that do not add a substantial new line of business after that date. The Partnership qualifies for the transition rule and may continue to rely on Notice 88-75 for guidance through the end of 2005. In Notice 88-75, the IRS established alternative safe harbors that allow interests in a partnership to be transferred or redeemed in certain circumstances without causing the partnership to be characterized as a PTP. Units of the Partnership are not listed or quoted for trading on an established securities exchange. However, CIGNA Financial Partners ("CFP") will, upon request, provide a Limited Partner desiring to sell or transfer Units with a list of secondary market firms which may provide a means for matching potential sellers with potential buyers of Units, if any. Frequent sales of Units utilizing these services could cause the Partnership to be deemed a PTP. The Partnership has adopted a policy prohibiting transfers of Units in secondary market transactions unless, notwithstanding such transfers, the Partnership will satisfy at least one of the safe harbors. Although such a restriction could impair the ability of an investor to liquidate its investment, the service provided by CFP described above should allow a certain number of transfers to be made in compliance with the safe harbor. The Partnership suspended quarterly distributions to Partners as of the fourth quarter of 1988 to enable it to fund operating deficits from certain of its properties. Subsequent to the sale of the Partnership's Stewart's Glen property in April 1996, the Partnership reduced the balance of its cash reserves to a level deemed sufficient in connection with the Partnership's operations. Accordingly, on December 15, 1996, the Partnership made a cash distribution of $1,565,928 or $63 per Unit to Limited Partners of record as of November 30, 1996. The Partnership resumed regular quarterly distributions beginning in 1997. The Partnership declared quarterly cash distributions to Limited Partners for 1998 and 1997 as set forth in the following table: Cash Distribution per Unit Quarter Date Paid (a) 1998 1997 -------- ------------- ---- ---- 1st May 15 $ 5.25 $ 6.45 2nd August 15 5.04 6.75 3rd November 15 4.95 188.64 (b) 4th February 15 6.15 5.70 --------- ---------- $ 21.39 $ 207.54 ========= ========== 8 (a) Quarterly distributions are paid 45 days following the end of the calendar quarter. (b) Includes $181.65 per Unit from the sale of Stonebridge Manor Apartments. Reference is made to Item 6 for information on cash distributions paid to Limited Partners during 1998, 1997 and 1996. There are no material legal restrictions upon the Partnership's ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership plans to distribute adjusted cash from operations quarterly to Partners. ITEM 6.

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 throughout 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 On July 2, 1984, the Partnership commenced an offering of $25,000,000 (subject to an increase up to $50,000,000) of limited partnership interests pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated on July 1, 1986 and a total of 24,856 Units were issued by the Partnership and assigned to the public at $1,000 per Unit. Subsequent to the termination of the offering, no Unit Holder has made any additional capital contribution. The Partnership will not seek additional capital contributions from Unit Holders. After deduction of selling expenses and other offering costs, the Partnership had $22,408,052 with which to make investments in real properties, to pay legal fees and other costs (including acquisition fees) related to such investments for working capital reserves and for capital expenditure reserves. A portion of the proceeds was utilized to acquire the properties described in Item 1 herein. As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership had two investment properties remaining, representing approximately 30% of the offering proceeds. The Partnership is in its final phase, which contemplates the sale of the remaining investment properties and subsequent dissolution of the Partnership in 1999. The Partnership entered its final phase in 1994 with the sale of Promenades Plaza. The Partnership considered the remaining properties sale candidates when local market conditions were stabilized and investor interest was competitive. With property operations stable at Waterford Apartments and the Tulsa market exhibiting signs of high occupancy and increasing rental rates, the Partnership placed the property on the market in November 1998. On March 8, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Case Ventures, Inc., an Oklahoma Corporation, to sell its investment in the Waterford Apartments for a gross sales price of $14,675,000. The purchaser will assume the bond financing as a part of the sale. The Agreement of Purchase and Sale states that the sale will close on or before April 13, 1999. After estimated closing costs of $330,000, the Partnership is expecting to net approximately $3,477,000. The Partnership expects to record a gain for book and tax purposes. The Partnership will complete the sale of its investment properties with the sale of Versailles Village. Versailles Village was selected as the final property sale due to its stable operating income and stable market. Once the sale of Waterford is completed, the Partnership will commence the sales process for Versailles Village. Subsequent to the sale of Versailles Village, the Partnership will liquidate and dissolve. Assuming both property sales are completed within the planned time frames, the final distribution will be made by November 15, 1999. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had $739,751 in cash and cash equivalents available for working capital requirements, Partnership cash reserves, and distributions. The source of capital for both short-term and long-term future liquidity and distributions is expected to be through cash generated by the investment properties and from the sale of such properties. During 1998, the Partnership's two properties generated net operating income of $1,889,000 and, in addition, a net loss of $48,000 at the Partnership level, resulting in net operating income of $1,841,000 available for debt service and capital expenditures. For 1998, net cash flow from operations of the Partnership totaled $538,000 after debt service of $1,142,000, and capital improvements of $161,000. The Partnership distributed the net cash flow from operations to Partners forty-five days after the close of each quarter in 1998. The 1998 distributions from operations totaled $537,039. Cash distributions from inception through 1997 ranged from $302.34 to $356.79 per $1,000 Unit, dependent upon the specific limited partner admission dates. The Partnership distributed an additional $21.39 per Unit for 1998, therefore, assuming the first admission date, cash distributions from inception through 1998 total $378.18 per Unit. 10 Reference is made to Item 1 for a description of the Partnership's investment properties and a description of the markets in which the properties operate. As a result of a general downturn in the economy, and especially real estate markets during the latter part of the 1980's and early 1990's, the Partnership has held its investment properties longer than originally anticipated in order to maximize the recovery of its investments and any potential for return thereon. The economy and many real estate markets have recovered. The Partnership has entered the final phase which contemplates the sale of the remaining investment properties in 1999. Based on the current position of the Partnership, the Partnership's objective of capital appreciation will not be achieved. Although the Partnership expects to continue to distribute cash from operations and the proceeds from the property sales, the total per Unit cash distributions over the term of the Partnership will be significantly less than the original per Unit capital contribution. The Partnership has estimated that the liquidation value of the Partnership's remaining net assets as of December 31, 1998 approximates $220 per Unit. The Partnership expects to continue to distribute cash available from operations until the final dissolution of the Partnership. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS - 1998 COMPARED WITH 1997 Partnership net operating income (total revenue less property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, fees and reimbursements to affiliates and provision for doubtful accounts) was approximately $1,841,000 for 1998, a decrease from approximately $2,539,000 in 1997. The decrease is mainly attributable to the sale of Stonebridge Manor in October 1997. Stonebridge Manor contributed approximately $846,000 to the partnership net operating income in 1997. Excluding the sold property, partnership net operating income increased approximately $148,000. Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts for 1998, as compared with 1997, are the result of the sale of Stonebridge Manor in October 1997. Stonebridge Manor accounted for $1,365,348 and $46,450 of the change in rental income and other income, respectively. It also accounted for decreases of $351,648, $216,496, $425,300, and $174,697 in property operating expenses, general and administrative, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, respectively. Rental income increased at both Versailles Village and Waterford due primarily to increased rental rates and slightly higher average occupancy in 1998. Interest income decreased due to a lower average cash balance. The average cash balance for the fourth quarter of 1997 included the proceeds from the sale of Stonebridge Manor. The proceeds from the sale were invested until distributed on November 15, 1997. Property operating expenses increased approximately 10% at Versailles Village and 5% at Waterford. Real estate taxes accounted for most of the increase due to an increase in the mill rate at Versailles Village and an increase in both the gross assessed value and mill rate at Waterford. Versailles Village also incurred an increase in turnover expenses (carpet, paint and cleaning). At Waterford, an increase in water usage, repairs and maintenance and management fees (due to higher revenues) were partially offset by a savings in insurance premiums. Further savings at Waterford resulted from a nonrecurring termite treatment in 1997. An increase in general and administrative expenses for the remaining properties was caused by higher payroll costs at Waterford and a staffing vacancy in 1997 at Versailles Village. Fees and reimbursements to affiliates decreased due to a drop in property management fees and partnership management fees resulting from the sale of Stonebridge Manor. In addition, reimbursements to affiliates were lower in 1998 as printing and mailing of distribution checks were handled by a third party in 1998. Interest expense decreased due to the retirement of the Stonebridge Manor mortgage note upon sale of the property in October 1997. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for Waterford as the property was held for sale as of November 1998. RESULTS - 1997 COMPARED WITH 1996 Partnership net operating income (total revenue less property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, 11 fees and reimbursements to affiliates and provision for doubtful accounts) was approximately $2,539,000 for 1997, a decrease from approximately $2,846,000 in 1996. The decrease is mainly attributable to the sale of Stewart's Glen in April 1996 and Stonebridge Manor in October 1997. The Stewart's Glen property contributed approximately $198,000 to the partnership net operating income in 1996. The decrease in net operating income from Stonebridge Manor amounted to approximately $160,000. Excluding the sold properties, partnership net operating income increased approximately $51,000. Through the date of sale, Stonebridge Manor posted no significant fluctuations between 1997 and 1996 operating results. Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts for 1997, as compared with 1996, are the result of the sale of Stewart's Glen in April 1996 and the sale of Stonebridge Manor in October 1997. The sold properties accounted for $603,889 and $18,227 of the change in rental income and other income, respectively. The two properties sold accounted for decreases of $175,824, $85,533, $247,408, and $171,937 in property operating expenses, general and administrative, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, respectively. Rental income at both Versailles Village and Waterford increased slightly as the properties raised rents and posted strong occupancies throughout 1997. Interest income decreased due to a lower average cash balance. The average cash balance for the second quarter of 1996 included the proceeds from the sale of Stewart's Glen Apartments. The proceeds from the sale were utilized to payoff the Partnership's unsecured debt on May 15, 1996. Further, a cash distribution to partners in December 1996 reduced the cash balance. An increase in general and administrative expenses for the remaining properties was caused by increases in advertising to maintain occupancy coupled with an increase in payroll expenses at Waterford. The general and administrative increase at Waterford was partially offset by a decrease in similar expenses at Versailles Village. Versailles Village increased its advertising in 1996 to assist with occupancy and payroll decreased as a result of a staffing vacancy for a portion of the year. Fees and reimbursements to affiliates decreased mainly as a result of drop in partnership management fees earned in connection with cash distributions from operations. Distributions from operations were higher in 1996 than in 1997 due to the one-time distribution of cash reserves (the portion generated by operations) in the fourth 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. INFLATION With inflation at a low rate during 1998, 1997 and 1996, the effect of inflation and changing prices on current revenue and income from operations has been minimal. Any significant inflation in future periods is likely to increase rental rates (from leases to new tenants or renewals of leases to existing tenants) assuming no major changes in market conditions. At the same time, it is anticipated that property operating expenses will be similarly affected. Assuming no major changes in occupancy levels, increases in rental income are expected to cover inflation driven increases in the cost of operating the properties and in property taxes. Inflation may also result in capital appreciation of the Partnership's investment properties over a period of time as rental rates and replacement costs of properties increase. 12 ITEM 8.

PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION Connecticut General Realty Investors III Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Connecticut limited partnership, was organized in April 1984 to own and operate residential and commercial real estate. The general partner of the Partnership is CIGNA Realty Resources, Inc. - Fifth (the "General Partner"). In December 1993, the Partnership refinanced the mortgages encumbering its Oklahoma property, Waterford Apartments. In conformity with the loan requirements, the property was segregated from the Partnership's remaining investment properties. The Partnership contributed the real property and improvements subject to mortgage debt and net working capital to the Waterford Partnership, a Connecticut general partnership, in exchange for a 99.9% general partnership interest, and the General Partner contributed $1 in exchange for a 0.1% general partnership interest. The General Partner's interest is held in trust for the benefit of Tulsa Corporation, the stock of which is 100% owned by the Partnership. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The financial statements reflect the consolidation of the accounts of the Partnership with the accounts of majority owned partnership interests and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and reflect management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. B) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Except for Notes and Mortgages Payable, financial instruments subject to fair value disclosure requirements are carried in the financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value. For Notes and Mortgages Payable, the estimate of fair value was based on the quoted market prices for similar issues or by discounted cash flow analyses which utilize current interest rates for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality. C) PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS: Property and improvements are either held for the production of income or held for sale. Property and improvements held for the production of income are carried at depreciated cost less any write-downs to fair value. The cost represents the initial purchase price and subsequent capitalized costs and adjustments, including certain acquisition expenses. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the various components (5 to 30 years). Properties are considered held for sale when they are subject to an active plan to find a buyer and a sale is likely to be completed within one year. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or current fair value less estimated costs to sell (through the use of valuation reserves). Properties that are held for sale are no longer depreciated. As of November 1998, the Partnership held Waterford Apartments for sale. Net income was $57,972, as adjusted for property tax accruals, for the period that the property was held for sale. The Partnership held Stonebridge Manor Apartments for sale in July 1997 and on October 23, 1997, the Partnership completed the sale. Net income was $153,350 for the period that the Partnership held Stonebridge Manor Apartments for sale. D) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are generally reported as cash equivalents. E) ESCROW DEPOSITS AND ESCROWED DEBT SERVICE FUNDS: Escrow deposits consist of funds held to pay property taxes and insurance required by the Partnership's mortgage lenders, and a maintenance escrow required by Waterford's mortgage lender. Escrowed debt service funds relate to Waterford and include debt service reserves and a cash collateral reserve. 19 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED F) DEFERRED CHARGES: Deferred charges consist of a surety fee and financing costs relating to Waterford Apartments, which are amortized over the ten year period of the surety, and financing costs for Versailles Village which are amortized over the life of the loan. Deferred costs relating to properties held for sale are no longer amortized. G) PARTNERS' CAPITAL: Offering costs, comprised of sales commissions and other issuance expenses, have been charged to the partners' capital accounts as incurred. H) INCOME TAXES: No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the Partnership. 3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX REPORTING The principal differences between generally accepted accounting principles and tax reporting is the classification of offering costs (sales commissions and other issuance expenses) and the method of depreciation. The net effects of the differences as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, are summarized as follows: 1998 1997 1996 ----------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Financial Tax Financial Tax Financial Tax Reporting Reporting Reporting Reporting Reporting Reporting Total assets $ 14,616,139 $ 11,219,885 $ 15,132,133 $ 11,933,069 $ 22,844,345 $ 17,279,595 Partners' capital (deficit): General Partner (5,238) (34,810) (1,692) (29,428) (10,908) (126,311) Limited partners (979,202) (4,319,702) (628,090) (3,786,838) 1,621,049 (3,799,106) Net income (loss) (a): General Partner 1,711 (125) 14,284 101,951 114,283 62,844 Limited partners 169,373 (12,379) 2,767,796 5,029,203 2,310,042 2,154,319 Net income (loss) per Unit (a) 6.81 (.50) 111.35 202.33 92.94 86.67 (a) Included in 1997 is a gain on sale of property of $2,574,230 ($2,562,025 or $103.07 per Unit to limited partners) for financial reporting purposes and a gain of $5,265,441 ($5,162,147 or $207.68 per Unit to limited partners) for tax reporting.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES The Partnership purchased four apartment complexes located in Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Illinois and one shopping center located in Florida. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership held for the production of income the Ohio property, Versailles Village, which was operating with leases in effect generally for a term of one year or less. As of November 1998, the Partnership was holding the Oklahoma property, Waterford Apartments, for sale. Each investment property is pledged as security for its respective non-recourse long-term debt. On January 27, 1993, the Partnership sold an outparcel at the Florida property, Promenades Plaza Shopping Center, with a net book value of $376,083 for a sales price of $500,000, netting the Partnership $452,500 after commission and 20 CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED closing costs. The Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of $76,417 in 1993. On September 22, 1994, the Partnership completed the sale of Promenades Plaza for a gross sales price of $6,572,000. The property had a carrying value of $6,239,957 (net of impairment losses of $5,000,000 in 1993 and $700,000 in 1991). After deducting closing costs of $307,206, the Partnership recorded a gain of $24,837 in 1994. On April 30, 1996, the Partnership completed the sale of the Illinois property, Stewart's Glen III, for a gross sales price of $7,853,900.
