These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices and applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Partnership's 2001 annual report on Form 10-KSB. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in the Partnership's 2001 annual report on Form 10-KSB. NOTE 2: LAND Costs incurred by the Partnership for acquisition and holding of land as of June 30, 2002 are as follows: 24th St. & Baseline $2,331,204 79th Ave. & Peoria 955,932 Van Buren & Central/Goodyear 1,006,236 ---------- $4,293,372 ========== NOTE 3: COMPUTATION OF PARNTERSHIP LOSS PER UNIT Partnership loss per unit is based on the weighted average number of partnership units outstanding during the period of the financials. The numerator represents the net loss for the period and the denominator represents the weighted average number of partnership units outstanding. NOTE 4: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Partnership's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Partnership's intent to sell all of the remaining properties and liquidate the Partnership will not impact the accounting treatment applied by the Partnership in its financial statements prepared in accordance with 6 generally accepted accounting principles as the liquidation proceeds and the timing thereof are not currently estimable. When the timing of the last cash receipt from the sale of the last property is reasonably determinable, the Partnership will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting in that quarter. At that time, all assets and liabilities will be adjusted to their settlement amounts and an amount to be distributed to the remaining limited partners upon liquidation will be estimated. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors. The Partnership undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Partnership which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect the Partnership's business, in this report, as well as the Partnership's periodic reports on Forms 10-KSB and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATONS REVENUES: For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Partnership recognized $40,000 in revenues resulting from the sale of the real property located at Central Avenue and Ludlow, Avondale, AZ on April 29, 2002. Total sales price was $40,000 and cost of sales was $43,437, resulting in a net loss on the sale of $3,437. The basis in the real property was $40,000. Land held for investment purposes is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost of sales and is adjusted for impairment of value. Management assesses the carrying value periodically and records provisions for losses accordingly for financial statement purposes. For tax purposes, losses from property sales will be realized upon the sales of the respective properties. There were no property sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses were $71,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and primarily consisted of property taxes ($25,565), management fees ($20,397), and accounting fees ($21,544). General and administrative expenses were $74,058 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and primarily consisted of property taxes ($25,953), management fees ($19,529), and accounting fees ($21,970). NET LOSS. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $71,300 and $68,432, respectively. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. There is no provision for income taxes because the Partnership's income (loss) is passed from the partnership to the partners and taxed at the individual level. 7 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 2002 the Partnership had $79,016 in cash and money market instruments. The sources of revenue during the operating period were proceeds from the sale of real property, interest on the money market account and administrative transfer fees. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND COMMITMENTS MANAGEMENT FEES. The general partner, Investors Recovery Group L.L.C., entered into an agreement with Horizon Real Estate Group, dated September 1996, to provide broker/manager and accounting services for the Partnership. The broker/manager receives the following fees and commissions: (1) a monthly asset management fee equal to one twelfth of .75% times the total values of the real property on hand, (2) a brokerage services fee equal to five percent (5%) of (a) the selling price of each parcel of the property sold; (b) of the amount of damages actually collected by suit or otherwise if completion of a sale is prevented by the default of the buyer under a purchase and sale agreement; and (c) of the list price of any parcel of property for which the broker/manager has procured a buyer who is ready, willing and able to purchase such parcel at the listed price and upon the listed terms upon Partnership's refusal to sell such parcel, (3) a disposition fee of one percent (1%) of the selling price upon the closing of each sale of a portion of the property which occurs while this agreement remains in effect, (4) an accounting fee equal to the reasonable hourly charges for the time of its employees spent in performing the accounting services required, not to exceed $10,000 per year. In addition, a tax return preparation fee equal to the reasonable hourly charges for the time of its employees spent in the preparation of the annual income tax returns, not to exceed $7,000 per year, and (5) if the broker/manager is required to administer more than one distribution to the partners during a single calendar year, compensation shall be at $35 per hour for its clerical employees. In addition, if any extraordinary professional services are required from the broker/manager beyond the services required by this agreement, compensation shall be at $150 per hour, provided that the broker/manager obtains the Partnership's approval in writing. The agreement is dated September 1996 and continues until terminated at any time by written consent of either party. Total management fees paid for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $20,397 and $19,529, respectively. PLAN OF OPERATION The General Partner is in the process of winding up the Partnership affairs as promptly as possible, and is actively and aggressively attempting to sell all of its remaining properties in order to liquidate the Partnership. The real property located at Central Avenue and Ludlow, Avondale, AZ sold with an escrow closing date of April 29, 2002 for a total selling price of $40,000, and closing costs totaling $3,437. The General Partner has successfully negotiated agreements with buyers and entered into escrows on the real properties located at Baseline and 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ and at Peoria and 79th Avenue, Peoria, AZ. The agreements include options for the buyers to extend the closing dates as far out as June 30, 2003. For the fourth and final parcel, the real property located at Van Buren and Central Avenue, Goodyear, AZ, the General Partner has identified a potential buyer and the property has entered escrow. 8 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. LAND HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES - On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to land held for investment purposes and provisions for loan losses. We base our estimates on the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and adjust for any impairment of value. Estimated fair value is based upon independent appraisals or prevailing market rates for comparable properties. Appraisals are estimates of fair value based upon assumptions about the property and the market in which it is located. The Partnership's judgments and estimates may be impacted by changes in interest rates, property values, geographic economic conditions, or the entry of other competitors into the market. 9 TPI LAND DEVELOPMENT III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP June 30, 2002 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
