                  TPI LAND DEVELOPMENT III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2003


NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED

The accompanying  unaudited interim  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with Form 10QSB instructions and in the opinion of management contain
all adjustments  (consisting of only normal recurring  adjustments) necessary to
present  fairly the  financial  position  as of June 30,  2003,  the  results of
operations  and of cash flows for the three and six month  period ended June 30,
2003.  These  results have been  determined  on the basis of generally  accepted
accounting  principles  and  practices in the United  States of America and have
been  applied   consistently   with  those  used  in  the   preparation  of  the
Partnership's 2002 annual report on Form 10KSB.

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  2002 annual report on
Form 10KSB.

NOTE 2: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Costs incurred by the Partnership for acquisition and holding of land as of June
30, 2003 are as follows:

     24th St. & Baseline                       $2,331,204
     79th Ave. & Peoria                           955,932
                                               ----------
                                               $3,287,136
                                               ==========

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 periods  presented.  Loss per unit is calculated by
net loss for the period  (numerator)  divided by the weighted  average number of
partnership units outstanding (denominator).

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
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

                                       6

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.

NOTE 5: RESTRICTED CASH AND ESCROW DEPOSITS

Restricted cash and escrow deposits  represent earnest money deposits  (released
to the  Partnership per the purchase  agreements),  which will be applied to the
purchase price at closing,  but  nonrefundable to the purchaser upon termination
or  cancellation  of the purchase  agreement.  As of August 8, 2003,  the escrow
agent has  released  escrow money  totaling  $170,000 to the  Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

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 10KSB and
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

There were no sales of vacant land for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Subsequent  to June  30,  2003,  the  Partnership  closed  the  sale of the real
property located at Baseline and 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ on July 23, 2003 for a
gross sales price of $3,066,316.  The cost of sale was $2,707,963,  resulting in
net income of $358,353. The basis in the property sold was $2,331,204.

The  General  Partner  is  actively  and  aggressively  attempting  to sell  its
remaining  property in order to liquidate the  Partnership.  The General Partner
has successfully negotiated an agreement with a buyer and entered into escrow on
the real  property  located  at Peoria  and 79th  Avenue,  Peoria,  AZ.  Options
available to the buyer have been exercised/granted to extend the closing date to
August 31, 2003. The Partnership  received two nonrefundable  extension deposits
of $15,000 each on July 24, 2003 and August 8, 2003  respectively,  which are in
addition to the purchase price. The agreement  provides for extension periods to

                                       7

extend  the  closing  deadline  by the  purchaser  depositing  certain  funds as
described in the agreement,  including any amendments  thereto.  Pursuant to the
terms of the  agreement,  all earnest  money  deposits are to be released to the
Partnership and applied to the purchase price at closing,  but  nonrefundable to
the purchaser upon termination or cancellation of the purchase agreement.  As of
August 8, 2003, the escrow agent has released escrow money totaling  $170,000 to
the  Partnership,  of which  $60,000 is option income that is in addition to the
purchase price and nonrefundable.

          price of each  parcel  of the  property  sold;  (b) of the  amount  of

          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

     (5)  if  the  broker/manager  is  required  to  administer  more  than  one

          compensation shall be at $40 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,

          broker/manager obtains the Partnership's approval in writing.

by  written  consent of either  party.  Total  management  fees paid for the six

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.

     ASSETS HELD FOR SALE - On an on-going  basis,  we evaluate  our  estimates,
     including those related to land held for investment  purposes  (assets held
     for sale) 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.
