  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.  However, in the  opinion of the general Partners,
        Krupp  Plus  Corporation   and  Mortgage   Services  Partners   Limited
        Partnership, (collectively  the  "General Partners")  of Krupp  Insured
        Plus-III  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership"),  the  disclosures
        contained  in  this  report  are  adequate  to   make  the  information
        presented not misleading.   See Notes to Financial Statements  included
        in the Partnership's  Form 10-K for  the year  ended December 31,  1994
        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 financial  statements reflect  all  adjustments
        (consisting of  only normal  recurring accruals)  necessary to  present
        fairly  the Partnership's financial position as of  September 30, 1995,
        its  results  of  operations  for  the  three  and  nine  months  ended
        September 30, 1995  and 1994 and  its cash  flows for  the nine  months
        ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

        The  results  of  operations  for  the  three  and  nine  months  ended
        September 30, 1995 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.

  2.    MBS

        At  September 30, 1995,  the Partnership's  MBS portfolio  has a market
        value of approximately  $35,930,000 and unrealized gains and losses  of
        $677,000 and  $704,000, respectively, and  maturity dates ranging  from
        2010 to 2033.

        On August 14, 1995, the Partnership's remaining  construction phase MBS
        which  had  an  interest  rate  of  8.125%  per  annum,  reached  final
        endorsement and was converted to a  permanent MBS providing for monthly
        payments of principal and interest at the rate of 7.375% per annum.

        A summary  of changes  in Partners'  Equity for  the nine months  ended
        September 30, 1995 is as follows:

  Item 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

              The most  significant demand on the  Partnership's liquidity are
  quarterly distributions  paid to  investors of  approximately $3.8  million.
  Funds used for investor distributions  come from interest income received on
  the PIMs, MBS, cash and cash  equivalents net of operating expenses, and the
  principal  collections received on the  PIMs and MBS.  The Partnership funds
  a portion of  the distribution from principal  collections, as a result, the
  capital resources  of  the Partnership  will  continually  decrease.   As  a
  result  of  this, the  total  cash  inflows  to  the  Partnership will  also
  decrease  which  will  result  in  periodic  adjustments  to  the  quarterly
  distributions paid to investors.   Based on current projections, the General
  Partners believe the Partnership can maintain  the current distribution rate
  both on  a short and  long term basis  unless there is  a PIM prepayment  or
  repayment.

              The Federal  National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") is currently
  negotiating  a loan workout  with the underlying borrower  of the Royal Palm
  Place  Apartments PIM,  which  has a  current face  value of  $15.6 million.
  Should  the  negotiations  be  unsuccessful  FNMA  would  foreclose  on  the
  property and repay the Partnership the  outstanding balance of the PIM.  The
  Partnership would then distribute the proceeds to the  Limited Partners as a
  special distribution.  

              If the Partnership receives a repayment of the Royal Palm PIM it
  would reduce the asset base of the Partnership and future  cash inflows from
  operating activities,  so the Partnership would  need to  adjust the current
  distribution rate to  reflect these lower cash  inflows.  Also, a  repayment
  of the  Royal Palm PIM  as a  result of  a foreclosure  would eliminate  any
  future  collection  of additional  interest  related  to  the  participation
  features by the  Partnership.   At this  time, the  General Partners  cannot
  determine if the PIM will be restructured or paid off.

  Assessment of Credit Risk

              The Partnership's  investments in  mortgages  are guaranteed  or
  insured by FNMA, Government National Mortgage Association  ("GNMA"), Federal
  Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and  the Department of Housing  and
  Urban Development  ("HUD") and therefore the  certainty of  their cash flows
  and  the risk  of  material  loss of  the  amounts invested  depends on  the
  creditworthiness of these entities.

              FNMA   is   a  federally-chartered   private   corporation  that
  guarantees  obligations  originated  under  its  programs.     FHLMC  is   a
  federally-chartered   corporation  that  guarantees  obligations  originated

  Banks.  These obligations  are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or  the
  Federal Home Loan Bank Board.  GNMA guarantees  the full and timely  payment
  of  principal  and  basic  interest  on  the  securities  it  issues,  which
  represents  interest  in  pooled mortgages  insured  by  HUD.    Obligations
  insured by  HUD, an  agency of the U.S.  Government, are backed by  the full
  faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

  Distributable Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions
              Shown below is  the calculation of  Distributable Cash Flow  and
  Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions as defined in Section  17 of the
  Partnership Agreement  and the  source of  cash distributions  for the  nine
  months ended September  30, 1995 and the  period from inception to September
  30, 1995.  The General Partners provide certain of the  information below to
  meet  requirements of  the Partnership  Agreement and  because they  believe
  that  it is  an appropriate  supplemental measure of  operating performance.
  However,  Distributable  Cash  Flow  and  Net  Cash  Proceeds  from  Capital
  Transactions should not be considered by the reader  as a substitute to  net
  income as  an indicator  of the  Partnership's operating  performance or  to
  cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

  Operations

       Net income consisted of the following during  the three and nine months
  ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 (amounts in thousands):


                                             For the Three Months        For the Nine Months
                                              Ended September 30,        Ended September 30,

                                             1995          1994          1995           1994

        Interest income on PIMs:
                                                                          
          Base interest                     $3,008         $2,805       $ 9,147       $ 9,044
          Participation interest                85             33           520           235
        Interest income on MBS                 754            881         2,198         1,905
        Interest income - other                 49            110           149           375
        Partnership expenses                  (455)          (488)       (1,338)       (1,481)

          Distributable Cash Flow            3,441          3,341        10,676        10,078

        Amortization of prepaid fees 
         and expenses                         (406)          (386)       (1,217)       (1,166)

          Net income                        $3,035         $2,955       $ 9,459       $ 8,912


  Net income  increased  for  the nine  months  ended September  30,  1995  as
  compared to  the nine  months  ended  September 30,  1994 due  primarily  to
  increases  in participation  interest income  and  interest income  on  MBS.
  Participation income  from PIMs increased  because more properties were able
  to generate  sufficient  cash flow  to  pay  participation interest  due  to
  improvements in  operating performance.   Future  receipts of  participation
  interest  will depend  on  whether  the underlying  properties  continue  to
  experience  improvements in  operating performance.  Interest  income on MBS
  increased  due to the fundings of the construction  phase MBS which achieved
  final endorsement in August 1995.

  Net income  did not change  materially during the third  quarter of 1995  as
  compared to the third quarter of 1994.
