                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      (In Liquidation as of June 30, 2004)

1.    Accounting Policies

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2003 for
      additional information relevant to significant accounting policies
      followed by the Partnership.

      As a result of the payoff of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM on June 24,
      2004, the Partnership is in the process of winding up its business, which
      it expects to complete in the third quarter of 2004. The Partnership will
      sell its remaining MBS and then make a Terminating Capital Transaction
      distribution to the partners. In connection therewith, the Partnership has
      changed its basis of accounting as of June 30, 2004 from the going-concern
      basis to the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation basis of
      accounting requires that assets and liabilities be stated at their
      estimated net realizable value and that estimated costs of liquidating the
      Partnership be provided to the extent that they are reasonably
      determinable. The Partnership estimates that the costs to liquidate will
      be approximately $160,000, which primarily relates to the remaining
      general and administrative expenses to be incurred through the anticipated
      liquidation of the Partnership in the third quarter of 2004.

      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 June 30, 2004, its results of
      operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and
      its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

      The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004
      are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected
      through the anticipated liquidation in the third quarter of 2004. See
      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations included in this report.

2.    PIMs

      On June 24, 2004, the borrower of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM paid off
      the Subordinated Promissory Note and the GNMA MBS. On June 24, 2004, the
      Partnership received $565,000 which represents a partial return of the
      interest rate rebate which had previously been recorded as a reduction in
      basic interest. On July 15, 2004, the Partnership received $12,719,458
      from the GNMA MBS related to Harbor Club. On July 28, 2004, the
      Partnership paid a special distribution of $1.00 per Limited Partner
      interest from the proceeds received.

3.    MBS

      At June 30, 2004, the Partnership's MBS portfolio had an amortized cost of
      $878,507 and gross unrealized gains of $51,497. The portfolio has
      maturities ranging from 2016 to 2024.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Partnership's 2003
Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report on Form 10-Q.

Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the Partnership's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other
things, federal, state or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic
or local conditions; pre-payments of mortgages; uninsured losses and potential
conflicts of interest between the Partnership and its Affiliates, including the
General Partners.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 24, 2004, the borrower of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM paid off the
Subordinated Promissory Note and the GNMA MBS. On June 24, 2004, the Partnership
received $565,000, which represents a partial return of the interest rate rebate
which had previously been recorded as a reduction in basic interest. On July 15,
2004, the Partnership received $12,719,458 from the GNMA MBS related to Harbor
Club. On July 28, 2004, the Partnership paid a special distribution of $1.00 per
Limited Partner interest from the proceeds received.

As a result of the payoff of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM, the Partnership is
in the process of winding up its business, which it expects to complete in the
third quarter of 2004 with a Terminating Capital Transaction distribution to the
partners. In connection therewith, the Partnership has changed its basis of
accounting as of June 30, 2004 from the going-concern basis to the liquidation
basis of accounting.

At June 30, 2004, the Partnership had liquidity consisting of cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $1.7 million as well as interest earned on the
Partnership's cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership anticipates that these
sources will be adequate to provide the Partnership with sufficient liquidity to
meet its obligations during its liquidation and complete the Terminating Capital
Transaction.

On July 15, 2004, the Partnership sold its remaining MBS portfolio for $905,651,
including accrued interest of $2,703. The gain realized from the sale was
$51,497.

The proceeds from the sale of the MBS will be included with other amounts
available for distribution from the Terminating Capital Transaction and will be
distributed to the Limited Partners during the third quarter of 2004 in a final
liquidating distribution.

The Partnership is in the process of winding up its business and expects to make
a Terminating Capital Transaction distribution, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, to the partners in the third quarter of 2004. Upon the occurrence of
a Terminating Capital Transaction, the Partnership Agreement provides that
losses from the Terminating Capital Transaction shall be allocated first to the
Limited Partners and General Partners to the extent of any then existing
positive account balances (or if the amount would be insufficient to reduce
those positive capital account balances to zero, then in proportion to any
positive account balances). The Advisor has estimated that the loss from the
Terminating Capital Transaction will be approximately $200,000. As of December
31, 2003, the General Partners had deficit account balances of approximately
$408,000 and the Limited Partners had positive account balances of approximately
$16,669,000. Therefore, all estimated losses from the Terminating Capital
Transaction will be allocated, for tax purposes, to the Limited Partners to
reduce their positive capital accounts. Amounts available for distribution from
the Terminating Capital Transaction will be distributed to the Limited Partners.
Upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partners
will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the remaining deficit
balance in their capital accounts. The General Partners have estimated that the
deficit balance will be approximately $417,000 which, after satisfaction of any
other obligations of the Partnership, will also be distributed to the Limited
Partners.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership's critical accounting policy relates to the Partnership's
estimates included in its liquidation basis accounting statements. The
Partnership's policies are as follows:

The Partnership is in the process of winding up its business, which it expects
to complete in the third quarter of 2004. In connection therewith, the
Partnership has changed its basis of accounting as of June 30, 2004 from the
going-concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation
basis of accounting requires that assets and liabilities be stated at their
estimated net realizable


                                      -8-


value and that estimated costs of liquidating the Partnership be provided to the
extent that they are reasonably determinable. The Partnership estimates that the
costs to liquidate will be approximately $160,000, which primarily relates to
the remaining general and administrative expenses to be incurred through the
anticipated liquidation of the Partnership in the third quarter of 2004. This
amount has been included in the Partnership's liabilities at June 30, 2004.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's net income increased for the three months ending June 30, 2004
as compared to the same period ending June 30, 2003 primarily due to an increase
in basic interest on PIMs. This increase was partially offset by decreases in
MBS interest income and other interest income and an increase in expense
reimbursements to affiliates. The increase was also partially offset by the
recording of the estimated liquidation costs of the Partnership. Basic interest
on PIMs increased due to the partial return of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM
interest rate rebate. MBS interest income decreased due to the Signature Point
payoff in April 2003 and on-going principal collections on the single family
MBS. Other interest income decreased due to significantly lower average cash
balances available for short-term investing during the three months ended June
30, 2004 versus the three months ended June 30, 2003. Expense reimbursements to
affiliates increased primarily due to a change in the cost of services
associated with the wind-down of the Partnership's activities and anticipated
liquidation of the Partnership's assets. The recording of estimated liquidation
costs is due to the Partnership changing its basis of accounting from the
going-concern basis to the liquidation basis. Due to this change, the
Partnership recorded an estimate in the second quarter of the remaining general
and administrative expenses to be incurred through the anticipated liquidation
in the third quarter of 2004.

The Partnership's net income decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2004
as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to decreases in
MBS interest income and other interest income and an increase in expense
reimbursements to affiliates. The decrease was also due to the recording of the
estimated liquidation costs of the Partnership. The decrease was partially
offset by an increase in basic interest on PIMs and decreases in asset
management fees and general and administrative expenses. MBS interest income
decreased due to the Signature Point payoff in April 2003 and on-going principal
collections on the single family MBS. Other interest income decreased primarily
due to interest received in the first quarter of 2003 from the Partnership's
distribution account. Expense reimbursements to affiliates increased primarily
due to a change in the cost of services associated with the wind-down of the
Partnership's activities and anticipated liquidation of the Partnership's
assets. The recording of estimated liquidation costs is due to the Partnership
changing its basis of accounting from the going-concern basis to the liquidation
basis. Due to this change, the Partnership recorded an estimate in the second
quarter of the remaining general and administrative expenses to be incurred
through the anticipated liquidation in September 2004. Basic interest on PIMs
increased due to the partial return of the Harbor Club Apartments PIM interest
rate rebate. Asset management fees decreased due to the decrease in the
Partnership's investments as a result of principal collection and payoffs.
General and administrative expense was greater during the first six months of
2003 primarily due to additional printing costs relating to the SEC filing and
legal costs associated with the Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. exchange offer.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership has no off balance sheet arrangements as described in Item 303
(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any such arrangements during the
period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

Contractual Obligations

The Partnership has no contractual obligations as contemplated by Item 303 (a)
(5) of Regulation S-K and did not have any such arrangements either during the
period covered by this report on Form 10-Q or during the Partnership's most
recent completed fiscal year.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Partnership's investments in its MBS portion of its PIM and MBS are
guaranteed and/or insured by the Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA"), Fannie Mae or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") 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.

Fannie Mae is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees
obligations originated under its programs. FHLMC is a federally chartered
corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs. These
obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board. However, Fannie Mae and FHLMC are two of the largest corporations in
the United States, and both have significant experience in mortgage
securitizations. In addition, their MBS carry the highest credit rating given to
financial instruments. GNMA guarantees the full and timely payment of principal
and basic interest on the securities it issues, which represent interests 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.

At June 30, 2004, the Partnership includes in cash and cash equivalents
approximately $1.5 million of commercial paper, which is issued by entities with
a credit rating equal to one of the top two rating categories of a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2004, the Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of
Krupp Plus Corporation, a general partner of the Partnership, carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's
disclosure controls and procedures. The Senior Vice President and the Chief
Accounting Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective, as of the date of their evaluation, in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent
to the date of the evaluation described in paragraph (a) above.
