                                     PART I

   This Form 10-K  contains  forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of  1934.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from  those
projected in the forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those identified herein.

ITEM 1.        BUSINESS

     Krupp Realty  Fund,  Ltd.-III  ("KRF-III")  was formed on April 23, 1982 by
filing  a  Certificate   of  Limited   Partnership   in  The   Commonwealth   of
Massachusetts.  KRF- III  issued  all of the  General  Partner  Interest  to two
General Partners,  The Krupp Company, a Massachusetts  limited partnership,  and
The Krupp Corporation, a Massachusetts  corporation.  KRF-III also issued all of
the Original  Limited Partner  Interests to The Krupp Company.  On June 4, 1982,
KRF-III  commenced an offering of up to 25,000 units of Investor Limited Partner
Interests  (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. As of September 29, 1982,  KRF-III
received  subscriptions for all 25,000 Units and therefore,  the public offering
was successfully completed on that date. For details, see Note A to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report.

     The  primary  business of KRF-III is to acquire,  operate,  and  ultimately
dispose of real estate.  KRF-III initially acquired five multi-family  apartment
complexes  (Druid  Valley,  Willow  Lake,  Brookeville,  Dorsey's  Forge/Oakland
Meadows and Hannibal Grove  Apartments) and an office building  (Woodlake Office
Park).  KRF- III  considers  itself to be engaged in only one industry  segment,
investment in real estate.

     KRF-III sold Druid Valley and Willow Lake in 1991 and Woodlake  Office Park
in 1992. On July, 1, 1993, the General  Partners formed  Brookeville  Apartments
Limited Partnership  ("Brookeville  L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing
of  Brookeville  Apartments  ("Brookeville")  with the Department of Housing and
Urban Development  ("HUD").  At the same time, the General Partners  transferred
ownership of Brookeville to Brookeville  L.P. The General Partner of Brookeville
L.P. is the Westcop  Corporation  ("Westcop") and KRF-III is the Limited Partner
of  Brookeville  L.P.   Westcop  has  beneficially   assigned  its  interest  in
Brookeville L.P. to KRF-III. KRF-III and Brookeville L.P. are collectively known
as Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and Subsidiary (the "Partnership").

     The  Partnership's  real estate  investments  are subject to some  seasonal
fluctuations  due to changes in utility  consumption  and  seasonal  maintenance
expenditures.  However,  the future  performance of the Partnership  will depend
upon factors which cannot be predicted.  Such factors include  general  economic
and real estate market  conditions,  both on a national basis and in those areas
where  the  Partnership's  investments  are  located,  real  estate  tax  rates,
operating expenses, energy costs, government regulations,  and federal and state
income tax laws. The requirements  for compliance with federal,  state and local
regulations  to  date  have  not  had an  adverse  effect  on the  Partnership's
operations, and no adverse effect therefrom is anticipated in the future.

     The Partnership's investments in real estate are also subject to such risks
as (I) competition from existing and future projects held by other owners in the
areas of the Partnership's properties,  (ii) possible reduction in rental income
due to an inability to maintain high occupancy  levels,  (iii) possible  adverse
changes in mortgage  interest  rates,  (iv) possible  adverse changes in general
economic and local  conditions,  such as  competitive  over-building,  increased
unemployment  or adverse  changes in real estate  zoning laws,  (v) the possible
future  adoption  of rent  control  legislation  which would not permit the full
amount  of  increased  costs  to be  passed  on to  tenants  in the form of rent
increases,  and (vi) other  circumstances  over which the  Partnership  may have
little or no control.

     As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership did not employ any personnel.

Recent Development

     On January 28, 2000 KRF3 Acquisition Company,  L.L.C. ("KR3"), KRF Company,
L.L.C., and The Krupp Family Limited Partnership - 94, affiliates of the General
Partner, filed a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission (the "SEC") with respect to KR3's proposal to merge KRF-III
with and into KR3. Under the terms of the proposed  merger,  each  unitholder of
KRF-III  other than KR3 and  certain  unitholders  that have  agreed to reinvest
their  units in KR3 will  receive  $600 in cash  for each  outstanding  investor
limited  partnership  interest owned by it. KR3 was initially  organized for the
purpose of effecting a tender offer for the units of the  Partnership,  pursuant
to which it acquired  10,304 units,  or  approximately  41.2% of the outstanding
units,  for a price of $550 per unit, in June 1999. KR3 later  purchased a total
of  1,637.5  units,  for a price  of $600  per  unit,  from  various  investment
management professionals, increasing its ownership to approximately 47.9% of the
outstanding units. The General Partners of the Partnership have filed definitive
proxy  materials  with the SEC with  respect to the  proposed  merger,  which is
subject to certain  conditions,  including approval by unitholders of the merger
and related amendments to KRF-III's  partnership  agreement.  On March 24, 2000,
the proxy statement was mailed to the unitholders of KRF-III.  KRF-III estimates
that the merger,  if approved by  unitholders,  will be  completed in the second
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had leveraged investments in three
apartment complexes having an aggregate of 990 units.

     A summary of the Partnership's  real estate investments is presented below.
Schedule III included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report contains  additional

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
        MATTERS

     The  transfer  of Units of Limited  Partner  Interest is subject to certain
limitations  contained in the Partnership  Agreement.  There is no public market
for the  Units  and it is not  anticipated  that any  such  public  market  will
develop.

     The  number of  Investor  Limited  Partners  as of  December  31,  1999 was
approximately 585.

     One of the objectives of the  Partnership is to generate cash available for
distribution,  however,  there  is no  assurance  that  future  operations  will
generate  cash  available  for   distribution.   The  Partnership   discontinued
distributions during 1990 because of insufficient  operating cash flow. In 1994,
however,  property  operations  improved and distributions were reinstituted and
paid in August,  1994 at a rate of $3.97 per Unit and  increased to annual rates
of $11.90,  $15.86 and  $23.79  per Unit in 1995,  1996 and 1998,  respectively.
Beginning with the distribution payable in February,  1999, the General Partners
increased the annual distribution rate to $31.72 per Unit, as a direct result of
continued successful operations at the Partnership's properties.

     The Partnership made the following distributions to its Partners during the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

   This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations  contains  forward-looking  statements  including those concerning
Management's  expectations regarding the future financial performance and future
events.   These   forward-looking   statements  involve   significant  risk  and
uncertainties,  including  those  described  herein.  Actual  results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The  Partnership's  ability to  generate  cash  adequate to meet its needs is
dependent  primarily  upon the operations of its real estate  investments.  Such
ability is also dependent upon the future  availability  of bank  borrowings and
the potential  refinancing and sale of the  Partnership's  remaining real estate
investments.  These  sources of liquidity  will be used by the  Partnership  for
payment of expenses  related to real estate  operations,  capital  expenditures,
debt service and expenses. Cash Flow, if any, as calculated under Section 8.2(a)
of the  Partnership  Agreement,  will then be available for  distribution to the
Partners. In 1994, distributions were reinstituted and paid in August, 1994 at a
rate of $3.97 per Unit and  increased to an annual rate of $11.90 and $15.86 per
Unit in 1995 and  1996,  respectively.  Thereafter,  the  Partnership  continued
semiannual  distributions  at an annual rate of $15.86 until  February,  1998 at
which time the Partnership  increased the annual distribution rate to $23.79 per
Unit.  Beginning  with the  distribution  paid in  February,  1999,  the General
Partners increased the annual  distribution rate to $31.72 per Unit, as a direct
result of continued successful operations at the Partnership's properties.

    The  Partnership is planning to spend  approximately  $1,900,000 for capital
improvements  at its  properties  in 2000.  The  Partnership  believes  that the
improvements  are necessary to compete in its current  markets,  produce quality
rental  units and absorb  excess  market  supply at the  properties'  respective
locations  and  to  maintain  current  occupancy  levels.   Renovations  include
carpeting, appliances, pavement upgrades and both interior and exterior building
improvements.   The  Partnership   expects  to  fund  these   improvements  from
established  reserves and cash generated from property  operations to the extent
available.  In the event cash flow and reserves are not adequate to fund capital
improvements  the  general  partner may suspend  distributions  and/or  increase
borrowings.

    Financial   Accounting   Standards   Board  Statement   No.137.   ("FAS137")
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities - deferral of the
Effective Date of the Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 133." FAS
137 amended FAS 133 by deferring  the effective  date to fiscal  quarters of all
fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2000. The General  Partners  believe that
the  implementation  of  FAS  137  will  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the
Partnership's financial statements.

Year 2000

    The General  Partners of the Partnership have conducted an assessment of the
Partnership's core internal and external computer  information  systems and have
taken the  necessary  steps to  understand  the  nature  and  extent of the work
required to make its  systems  Year 2000 ready.  They have  evaluated  Year 2000
compliance  issues with respect to its  non-financial  systems and have received
assurances from third-party service providers  (including but not limited to its
telecommunications   providers  and  banks)  with  regard  to  their  Year  2000
readiness.

    The   General   Partners   completed  the  testing  and  conversion  of  the
Partnerships  financial  accounting  operating  systems in February  1998.  As a
result, the General Partners have generated  operating  efficiencies and believe
their financial accounting operating systems are Year 2000 ready. The General


<PAGE>



Partners  incurred  hardware  costs as well as  consulting  and  other  expenses
related to the infrastructure and facilities  enhancements necessary to complete
the  upgrade  and  prepare  for the Year  2000.  There are no other  significant
internal systems or software that the Partnership is using at the present time.

    To date, the Partnership has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any
significant cost associated with being Year 2000 compliant.

    To date, the  Partnership has not had, and does not expect to have, any Year
2000 related problems.

Operations

1999 compared to 1998

       Net income  remained stable in 1999 when compared to 1998, with increases
    in total revenue offset by increases in total expenses.

       Total revenue  increased in 1999 when compared to 1998,  primarily due to
    rental rate increases implemented at all of the Partnership's properties.

       Total expenses increased in 1999 when compared to 1998, with increases in
    operating,  maintenance  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  These
    increases  were partly  offset by  decreases  in  depreciation  and interest
    expense.  Operating  expense increased in 1999 as a result of an increase in
    workmen's  compensation  expense over 1998 due to a favorable  adjustment in
    1998 as a result of  favorable  claims  experience  as well as  increases in
    payroll and utility expenses. Maintenance increased due to increases in snow
    removal  expenses at all properties  during the first quarter,  increases in
    landscaping  expenses at Dorsey's  Forge and  Brookeville  and  increases in
    plumbing  expenses  at  Dorsey's  Forge  and  Hannibal  Grove.  General  and
    administrative  expenses  increased  as a result of increases in legal costs
    primarily  associated  with the  Partnership's  response to the  unsolicited
    tender  offer made by  Madison  Liquidity  Investors  104,  LLC to  purchase
    Partnership units. Depreciation expense decreased as fixed assets previously
    purchased  became fully  depreciated.  Interest  expense  decreased with the
    decrease in mortgage principal balances.

   1998 compared to 1997

       Net income  increased in 1998 when compared to 1997,  with an increase in
    total revenue and a decrease in total expenses.

       Total revenue  increased in 1998 when compared to 1997,  primarily due to
    rental rate increases implemented at all of the Partnership's properties.

       Total expenses decreased in 1998 when compared to 1997, with decreases in
    operating,  general and administrative and depreciation expenses.  Operating
    expenses decreased due to a reduction in liability and workers  compensation
    expense  at the  Partnership  properties,  due to lower  claims  experience.
    General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as a result of 1997 legal
    costs  relating to the  unsolicited  tender  offers to purchase  Partnership
    Units.  Depreciation expense decreased as fixed asset additions purchased in
    previously years became fully depreciated.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and Subsidiary:


     In our opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements and the financial
statement  schedule  listed  in the  index on page F-2  present  fairly,  in all
material respects, the financial position of Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd.-III and its
Subsidiary (the  "Partnership")  at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting  principles
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States.  These  financial  statements  and
financial  statement  schedule  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and financial  statement  schedule based on our audits.  We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States,  which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   KRUPP REALTY FUND, LTD.-III AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   Organization

     Krupp Realty  Fund,  Ltd.-III  ("KRF-III")  was formed on April 23, 1982 by
     filing  a  Certificate  of  Limited  Partnership  in  The  Commonwealth  of
     Massachusetts.  KRF-III  terminates  on December 31, 2020,  unless  earlier
     terminated  upon  the  sale of the  last  of  KRF-III's  properties  or the
     occurrence  of  certain  other  events  as set  forth  in  the  Partnership
     Agreement.

     KRF-III issued all of the General Partner Interests to The Krupp Company, a
     Massachusetts   limited   partnership,   and  The  Krupp   Corporation,   a
     Massachusetts   corporation,   in  exchange   for   capital   contributions
     aggregating  $1,000.   Except  under  certain  limited  circumstances  upon
     termination of KRF-III,  the General  Partners are not required to make any
     additional capital contributions.  KRF- III also issued all of the Original
     Limited  Partner  Interests to The Krupp  Company in exchange for a capital
     contribution  of $4,000.  The Original  Limited  Partner is not required to
     make any additional capital contributions to KRF-III.

     On June 4, 1982,  KRF-III  commenced  an offering of up to 25,000  units of
     Investor Limited Partner Interests (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. As of
     September 29, 1982, KRF-III received subscriptions for all 25,000 Units and
     therefore, the public offering was successfully completed on that date.

     In  1993,  the  General  Partners  formed  Brookeville  Apartments  Limited
     Partnership  ("Brookeville  L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of
     Brookeville  Apartments  ("Brookeville") with the Department of Housing and
     Urban  Development   ("HUD").  At  the  same  time,  the  General  Partners
     transferred  ownership  of  Brookeville  to  Brookeville  L.P.  The General
     Partner of  Brookeville  L.P. is the Westcop  Corporation  ("Westcop")  and
     KRF-III is the Limited Partner in Brookeville L.P. Westcop has beneficially
     assigned  its  interest  in  Brookeville  L.P.  to  KRF-III.   KRF-III  and
     Brookeville L.P. are collectively known as Krupp Realty Fund,  Ltd.-III and
     Subsidiary (the "Partnership").

B.   Significant Accounting Policies

     The  Partnership  uses the  following  accounting  policies  for  financial
     reporting  purposes,  which may differ in certain  respects from those used
     for federal income tax purposes (see Note H).

         Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated  financial statements present the consolidated assets,
         liabilities  and  operations  of  the  Partnership.   All  intercompany
         balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         Risks and Uncertainties

         The Partnership invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market
         funds with  commercial  banks.  The Partnership has not experienced any
         losses to date on its invested cash.

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions   that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and
         liabilities,   contingent  assets  and  liabilities  and  revenues  and
         expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
         those estimates.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued


B.   Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Partnership includes all short-term  investments with maturities of
         three  months  or less  from the date of  acquisition  in cash and cash
         equivalents.   The  cash   investments  are  recorded  at  cost,  which
         approximates current market values.

         Rental Revenues

         Leases require the payment of rent monthly in advance.  Rental revenues
         are recorded on the accrual basis.

         Depreciation

         Depreciation  is provided  for by the use of the  straight-line  method
         over estimated useful lives as follows:

            Buildings and improvements                           5 to 25 years
            Appliances, carpeting and equipment                  3 to 8 years

         Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

         Real  estate  assets  and  equipment  are stated at  depreciated  cost.
         Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to be Disposed of", impairment losses are recorded on long-lived
         assets used in operations on a property by property basis,  when events
         and  circumstances  indicate  that the assets might be impaired and the
         estimated  undiscounted  cash flows to be generated by those assets are
         less than the carrying amount of those assets.  Upon determination that
         an  impairment  has  occurred,  those  assets  shall be reduced to fair
         value.

         Deferred Expenses

         Costs of obtaining and recording  mortgages are amortized over the life
         of the related  mortgage  notes using the  straight-line  method  which
         approximates the effective interest method.

         Income Taxes

         The  Partnership  is not liable for  federal or state  income  taxes as
         Partnership  income or loss is allocated to the Partners for income tax
         purposes.  In the event the  Partnership's  tax returns are examined by
         the  Internal  Revenue  Service  or  state  taxing  authority  and  the
         examination  results in a change in Partnership taxable income or loss,
         such change will be reported to the Partners.

         Descriptive Information About Reportable Segments

         The  Partnership  operates and  develops  apartment  communities  which
         generate  rental and other  income  through  the  leasing of  apartment
         units. The General Partners separately evaluate the performance of each
         of the Partnership's  apartment communities.  However,  because each of
         the  apartment  communities  have  similar  economic   characteristics,
         facilities,  services and tenants, the apartment  communities have been
         aggregated into a single dominant apartment communities segment.

         All revenues are from external  customers and no revenues are generated
         from  transactions  with other  segments.  There are no  tenants  which
         contributed 10% or more of the Partnership's total revenue during 1999,
         1998 or 1997.

         The property is subject to a non-recourse mortgage note in the original
         amount of  $8,755,000,  insured by the  Department of Housing and Urban
         Development  ("HUD").  The mortgage note requires  monthly  payments of
         $60,600  consisting  of principal and interest at the rate of 7.75% per
         annum.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  is  required to fund a monthly
         deposit of $5,158 to an escrow  account to be used for future  property
         replacements and improvements and a mortgage  insurance premium deposit
         equal to .5% per annum of the outstanding  principal balance.  The note
         matures  on  August  1,  2028.  In  accordance  with  HUD  regulations,
         distributions  are limited to the extent of Surplus Cash, as defined by
         the Regulatory  Agreement.  The mortgage note payable is collateralized
         by the  property  and may be prepaid  during  the five years  beginning
         August 1, 1998, subject to an annual declining prepayment penalty of 5%
         to 1%,  respectively.  After  August 1,  2003,  there is no  prepayment
         penalty.

         Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for
         bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of
         long-term debt is  approximately  $8,010,000 and $9,446,000 at December
         31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Hannibal Grove Apartments ("Hannibal") and Dorsey's Forge and Oakland
         Meadows Apartments ("Dorsey's")

         The properties are subject to non-recourse  mortgage notes for Hannibal
         and  Dorsey's in the original  amounts of  $6,800,000  and  $5,000,000,
         respectively,  payable at a rate of 9.25% per annum.  Monthly principal
         and  interest  payments  are  $62,333  for  Hannibal  and  $45,833  for
         Dorsey's.  The notes  mature on May 3,  2000 at which  time all  unpaid
         principal,  $5,653,175  (Hannibal) and $4,156,746  (Dorsey's),  and any
         accrued interest are due. The mortgage notes payable are collateralized
         by the respective properties and may be prepaid subject to a prepayment
         penalty. The prepayment penalty will be the greater of 1) the principal
         balance multiplied by the difference between 9.4301% and the yield rate
         on publicly traded U.S. Treasury Securities having the closest matching
         maturity date as reported in the Wall Street Journal, or 2) one percent
         of the then outstanding principal.

D.   Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued

         Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for
         bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of
         long-term  debt for Hannibal and Dorsey's is  approximately  $5,746,000
         and  $4,225,000 at December 31, 1999 and  $6,118,000  and $4,449,000 at
         December 31, 1998, respectively.

     Due to  restrictions  on transfers and  prepayment,  the Partnership may be
     unable to refinance  certain mortgage notes payable at such calculated fair
     value.

     The  aggregate  scheduled  principal  amounts of long-term  borrowings  due
     during the five years ending  December 31, 2004 are  $10,020,473,  $89,480,
     $96,667 $104,430 and $112,818.

     During 1999, 1998 and 1997 the Partnership paid $1,588,076,  $1,625,506 and
     $1,659,719 of interest, respectively, on its mortgage notes.

     I. Subsequent Event

On January 28, 2000 KRF3  Acquisition  Company,  L.L.C.  ("KR3"),  KRF  Company,
L.L.C., and The Krupp Family Limited Partnership - 94, affiliates of the General
Partner, filed a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission (the "SEC") with respect to KR3's proposal to merge KRF-III
with and into KR3. Under the terms of the proposed  merger,  each  unitholder of
KRF-III  other than KR3 and  certain  unitholders  that have  agreed to reinvest
their  units in KR3 will  receive  $600 in cash  for each  outstanding  investor
limited  partnership  interest owned by it. KR3 was initially  organized for the
purpose of effecting a tender offer for the units of the  Partnership,  pursuant
to which it acquired  10,304 units,  or  approximately  41.2% of the outstanding
units,  for a price of $550 per unit, in June 1999. KR3 later  purchased a total
of  1,637.5  units,  for a price  of $600  per  unit,  from  various  investment
management professionals, increasing its ownership to approximately 47.9% of the
outstanding units. The General Partners of the Partnership have filed definitive
proxy materials with the SEC, which is subject to certain conditions,  including
approval  by  unitholders  of the merger and  related  amendments  to  KRF-III's
partnership  agreement with respect to the proposed  merger.  KRF-III  estimates
that the merger,  if approved by  unitholders,  will be  completed in the second
quarter of 2000.
