PART I
------
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
- -------
Boettcher Western Properties III Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized in March
1983 as a Colorado limited partnership. The Partnership's primary business is to
own and operate income-producing properties. At September 30, 1996, the
Partnership owned and operated one shopping center located in California
("Venetian Square Shopping Center"), which is being held for sale (the
"Remaining Property"). The Remaining Property is more fully described in Item 2
of this report.
The Partnership, as of September 30, 1996, did not directly employ any persons;
it is however, a party to a Management Agreement with Boettcher Properties, Ltd.
Under the terms of the Management Agreement, Boettcher Properties, Ltd. is
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Partnership, and operating and
managing its investments. All regular employees rendering service on behalf of
the Partnership are employees of Boettcher Properties, Ltd. or its affiliates.
The Remaining Property is owned directly by the Partnership and is managed by an
independent, third-party property manager who performs daily property management
services.
The General Partners of the Partnership are Boettcher Properties, Ltd. and
Boettcher 1983 Associates, Ltd. (the "General Partners"), both Colorado limited
partnerships. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Boettcher
Properties, Ltd. (the "Managing General Partner") and the Associate General
Partner is Boettcher 1983 Associates, Ltd. (the "Associate General Partner").
With limited exceptions, the General Partners of the Partnership have exclusive
control over the business of the Partnership, which powers are exercised only by
the Managing General Partner.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, gross rents and tenant
reimbursements generated by the Partnership's income-producing properties
represented 95% of total Partnership revenue. Monthly rental income is derived
from tenant leases at the properties. Commercial leases for Venetian Square
Shopping Center contain longer lease terms, which vary from one year up to five
years for most tenants and up to twenty-five years for major anchor tenants.
Commercial leases permit the pass through by the owner of taxes, insurance and
common area operating costs to the tenants.

<PAGE>
Competition
- -----------
The Partnership faces active competition in all aspects of its business. The
Partnership competes with entities which own properties similar in type to the
one owned by the Partnership. The ability of the Partnership to compete with
these entities depends on many factors, including the location, size, condition
of its facilities and the availability of similar facilities. When comparable
space is available in a general location, the Partnership competes through
rental rates and lease terms, among other variables. Now that the Remaining
Property is held for sale, the Partnership is competing with other income-
producing properties for prospective purchasers. While no statistical
information is currently available to delineate the Partnership's competitive
position, many of its competitors are believed to have assets and revenues
greater than those of the Partnership.
Cash Reserves and Debt Maturities
- ---------------------------------
The Partnership is required under its Partnership Agreement to maintain cash
reserves of not less than 3% of aggregate capital contributions for normal
repairs, replacements, working capital and other contingencies. As of September
30, 1996, the Partnership had cash reserves of $1,240,077, while the required
minimum amount was $660,000. The Partnership intends to apply cash flow
generated from Partnership operations in fiscal 1997, if any, to maintain
minimum required cash reserves, including any additional reserves deemed
necessary by the Managing General Partner to cover potential remediation costs
of the petroleum contamination at Venetian Square Shopping Center discussed
below under "Other Factors" and in Note 7 to the Financial Statements contained
in Item 8 of this report. Thereafter, the Partnership intends to pay the
Managing General Partner all unpaid cash advances made to the Partnership, all
unpaid administrative reimbursements, all unpaid property management fees and
all deferred fees earned by the Managing General Partner, which total $22,961,
$8,640, $1,228 and $569,494, respectively, as of September 30, 1996.
The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell the Partnership's remaining
real estate investment in fiscal 1997. However, there can be no assurances that
the Partnership will sell the Remaining Property in 1997. The Managing General
Partner believes that the sale will provide net proceeds to the Partnership
after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and mortgages payable; however,
the sale transaction may include both cash at closing and deferred payments to
the Partnership. The ability of the Partnership to sell Venetian Square Shopping
Center may be adversely affected by the potential remediation costs of the
petroleum contamination at the property as described below under "Other
Factors". The Partnership intends to apply net sales proceeds to establish and
maintain the Partnership's minimum required cash reserves, as necessary,
including any additional reserves to cover potential remediation costs.
Thereafter, the Partnership intends to pay amounts owed to the Managing General
Partner, and to make distributions to limited partners. The Partnership has
entered into a listing agreement with unrelated real estate brokerage firm to
act as the exclusive selling agent for the Remaining Property. This investment
is classified as property held for sale at September 30, 1996.

<PAGE>
Other Factors
- -------------
Seasonal weather conditions do not have a material impact on the operations of
the Remaining Property, although the usage of water, gas, electricity and the
attendant expense may vary according to the particular season and geographic
location.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations, which have been enacted or
adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment do not presently have a material
effect on the operations of the Remaining Property nor on the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Partnership and no
material effect is anticipated in the future, subject to the environmental
assessment which is currently underway at Venetian Square Shopping Center and
the potential remediation costs payable by the Partnership.
Environmental site assessments have been and are currently being performed on a
parcel of land adjacent to and part of Venetian Square Shopping Center. This
parcel of land had previously been operated as a card-lock fueling station
containing underground fuel storage tanks. In fiscal 1992, these underground
fuel storage tanks were excavated and removed from this parcel of land, at which
time leakage of petroleum contaminants was discovered. The Partnership has been
advised that groundwater contamination has also occurred and the Partnership is
in the process of determining the method, cost and timing of required soil and
groundwater remediation measures. For additional discussion of this matter,
refer to Note 7 to the Financial Statements as contained in Item 8 of this
report.
Other federal, state and local laws and regulations, including requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act, may require that the Partnership incur
capital expenditures to ensure compliance. At this time, it is not anticipated
that these capital expenditures will materially affect the Partnership's cash
flows.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 resulted in reduced tax benefits for purchasers of
real estate. To offset the loss of such benefits, purchasers may negotiate lower
prices when acquiring properties to achieve yields comparable to those that
resulted from the combination of cash flow and tax benefits available prior to
the Tax Reform Act of 1986. In addition, the value of tax losses allocated to
individual limited partners has been significantly reduced due to passive loss
limitations and reduced tax rates.
The business of the Partnership to date has involved only one industry segment;
accordingly, all information required by Item 101(b) of Regulation S-K is
included in the Financial Statements as contained in Item 8 of this report. The
Partnership has no foreign operations.

Item 2. PROPERTIES
----------
At September 30, 1996, the Partnership owned and operated one shopping center,
which is being held for sale, as more fully described below:
Name and Location General Character of Property
- ----------------- -----------------------------
Venetian Square Shopping Center 3-building shopping center containing
4555 North Pershing Avenue approximately 117,107 square feet of net
Stockton, California rentable area on approximately 9.2 acres
of land.
As stated above, at September 30, 1996, the Partnership has classified the
Remaining Property as property held for sale.
For information regarding the indebtedness to which the Remaining Property is
subject, see Notes 3 and 6 to the Financial Statements as contained in Item 8 of
this report.
On February 29, 1996, the Partnership sold the land, related improvements and
personal property of La Risa Apartments ("La Risa") as described in more detail
in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations as contained in Item 7 of this report and Note 2 to the Financial
Statements as contained in Item 8 of this report.

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED
LIMITED PARTNER MATTERS
At September 30, 1996, 22,000 Units were outstanding and held by
approximately 2,070 limited partners.
The Units have limited transferability. There is no public market for the
Units and it is not expected that any will develop. There are significant
restrictions relating to the transferability of Units, including the requirement
that the Managing General Partner consent to any transfer and to any transferee
becoming a substituted limited partner, which consent may be granted or withheld
at the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner. In addition,
restrictions on transfers may be imposed by federal and state securities laws.
On March 21, 1996, a distribution of $999,900 ($45.45/Unit) was made to
limited partners from the net proceeds of the sale of the La Risa Apartments.
The Managing General Partner intends to apply cash flow generated from
Partnership operations in fiscal 1997, if any, to maintain the Partnership's
minimum required cash reserves, as necessary, including any additional reserves
to cover potential remediation costs. Thereafter, the Partnership intends to pay
amounts owed to the Managing General Partner and make a final distribution to
the limited partners.
The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell the Partnership's
remaining real estate investment in fiscal 1997. However, there can be no
assurances that the Partnership will sell the Remaining Property in 1997. The
Managing General Partner believes that this sale will provide net proceeds to
the Partnership after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and mortgages
payable; however, the sale transaction may include both cash at closing and
deferred payments to the Partnership. The ability of the Partnership to sell
Venetian Square Shopping Center ("Venetian") may be adversely affected by the
potential remediation costs of the petroleum contamination at the property. The
Partnership intends to apply net sales proceeds to pay all remaining liabilities
identified by the Managing General Partner arising out of or in connection with
the operations of the Partnership and the sale of Venetian, including amounts
owed to the Managing General Partner. Thereafter, all remaining cash reserves of
the Partnership will be utilized to first pay the costs of liquidation and
dissolution of the Partnership, and then to make a final distribution to limited
partners.

Financial Statements and related Notes as contained in Item 8 of this
report.
/(b)/ Per Unit data is based upon the 22,000 weighted average Units outstanding
during each fiscal year.
/(c)/ The Partnership is evaluating the remediation of petroleum contaminated
soil and groundwater on a parcel of land adjacent to and part of the
Venetian Square Shopping Center. The contamination resulted from a
leaking underground storage tank which was part of a card-lock fueling
station operated at Venetian Square Shopping Center from 1979 through
1990. The Partnership has spent approximately $300,000 to date in
connection with the remediation program and since fiscal 1993 has
maintained an accrual of approximately $250,000 as a provision for
possible additional remediation expenses. Amounts expended to date have
been for the evaluation and monitoring of the contamination in order to
determine the method, cost and timing of required soil and groundwater
remediation measures to be implemented in the future. Management is
unable at this time to estimate the amount of additional remediation
expense that may be incurred. Due to groundwater contamination, the
Partnership may incur significant additional remediation costs.
Accordingly, the Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report
do not include any further adjustments that reflect the results of the
ultimate resolution of this uncertainty. For additional information,
refer to Note 7 to the Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this
report.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
1996 as compared to 1995:
September 30, 1996 marked the close of the Partnership's thirteenth year of
operations. The Partnership currently owns and operates one shopping center
located in California (Venetian Square Shopping Center), which is being held for
sale as of September 30, 1996.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership generated total
revenue of $1,631,685, and incurred total expenses of $1,717,288, resulting in
an operating loss of $85,603. The Partnership's fiscal 1996 operating loss
decreased $61,292 (42%) when compared with fiscal 1995. A gain on the sale of
real estate investment, LaRisa Apartments ("LaRisa"), in the amount $1,329,705,
was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as more fully discussed in
Note 2 to the Financial Statements as contained in Item 8 of this report. Due to
the gain on sale of real estate investments, the Partnership generated net
earnings of $1,244,102. Total revenue decreased, primarily rental and other
income, and total expenses decreased in all categories, primarily due to the
sale of LaRisa. A summary of the Partnership's operations and period-to-period
comparisons is presented below.
When making period-to-period comparisons, the exclusion of LaRisa's operations
from the current and prior fiscal year's results allows for a more meaningful
analysis of the operations of the Partnership's remaining investment. For
comparison purposes only, LaRisa's results of operations have been excluded in
both fiscal 1996 and 1995 in the table below.

Based upon the pro forma amounts presented above, total revenue generated by the
Partnership, excluding LaRisa, amounted to $1,110,096, representing a decrease
of $107,929 (9%) compared with fiscal 1995. The Partnership's remaining property
generated rental income of $823,790 in fiscal 1996, which represents a decrease
of $86,809 (10%) when compared with fiscal 1995. Venetian Square Shopping Center
achieved an average occupancy of 88% and an average effective rental rate per
square foot of $7.99, representing decreases of 3% and $.55, respectively, when
compared with fiscal 1995. For additional information on the average occupancies
and average effective rental rates for the Partnership's Properties, refer to
the table provided in Item 2 of this
10
<PAGE>
report. Tenant reimbursement income generated by Venetian Square Shopping Center
decreased $41,459 (15%) in fiscal 1996 when compared with fiscal 1995 due to
increased vacancies in the current fiscal year. Other income increased $20,339
(56%) in fiscal 1996 when compared with fiscal 1995 primarily as a result of
increased interest earned by the Partnership due to the maintenance of larger
cash reserve balances.
Based upon the pro forma amounts provided above, total expenses, excluding
LaRisa incurred by the Partnership amounted to $1,179,189 in fiscal 1996, a
decrease of $144,983 (11%) when compared with fiscal 1995. The largest component
of this decrease is the $55,540 decrease in environmental expense associated
with the remediation of petroleum contamination at Venetian Square Shopping
Center as more fully discussed below and in Note 7 to the Financial Statements
contained in Item 8 of this report. Property tax expense decreased $22,211 (22%)
in fiscal 1996 primarily the result of a successful appeal related to the
property's assessed value and subsequent reduction in property tax assessments
at Venetian. Fees and reimbursements to the Managing General Partner decreased
$53,363 (29%) in fiscal 1996 when compared with fiscal 1995. This decrease is
the result of the elimination of the accrual of deferred acquisition fees
related to LaRisa beginning February 29, 1996. Repairs and maintenance decreased
$11,644 (9%) in fiscal 1996. This decrease is primarily the result of
underground water leak repairs and parking lot repairs done in fiscal 1995 at
Venetian Square Shopping Center. Other administrative expense increased $15,862
(10%) in fiscal 1996 when compared to fiscal 1995, primarily the result of the
write off of approximately $20,000 of past due rents deemed uncollectible.
1995 as compared to 1994:
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership generated total
revenue of $2,508,536, and incurred total expenses of $2,655,431, resulting in
an operating loss of $146,895. The Partnership's fiscal 1995 operating loss
decreased $345,422 (70%) when compared with fiscal 1994. Due to the gain on sale
of Los Compadres, La Paz and Maryland Villa Apartments (the "Arizona
Properties"), the Partnership generated net earnings of $949,570 in fiscal 1994.
Total revenue decreased, primarily rental and other income, and total expenses
decreased in all categories, primarily due to the sale of the Arizona
Properties. A summary of the Partnership's operations and period-to-period
comparisons is presented below.
When making period-to-period comparisons, the exclusion of the Arizona
Properties and SouthCenter Plaza's operations from the prior fiscal year's
results allows for a more meaningful analysis of the operations of the
Partnership's remaining investments. For comparison purposes only, the Arizona
Properties and SouthCenter Plaza's results of operations have been excluded from
fiscal 1994 results of operations in the table below.

Based upon the actual and pro forma amounts presented above, total revenue
generated by the Partnership, excluding the Arizona Properties and SouthCenter
Plaza, amounted to $2,508,536 in fiscal 1995, representing an increase of
$15,761 (1%) compared with fiscal 1994. The Partnership's properties generated
rental income of $2,145,948 in fiscal 1995, which represents a decrease of
$8,055 when compared with fiscal 1994. La Risa Apartments achieved a weighted
average occupancy of 94% and a weighted average effective rental rate per unit
per month of $436, representing a decrease of 2% and an increase of $11,
respectively, when compared with fiscal 1994. Rental income from Venetian Square
Shopping Center decreased $37,803 (4%) in fiscal 1995 when compared with fiscal
1994. At Venetian Square Shopping Center, average occupancy decreased 4% in
fiscal 1995 and the average effective rental rate decreased $.03 when compared
with fiscal 1994. For additional information on the average occupancies and
average effective rental rates for the Partnership's Properties, refer to the
table provided in Item 2 as contained in this report. Other income increased
$19,220 (27%) in fiscal 1995 when compared with fiscal 1994, primarily the
result of increased interest earned by the Partnership.
Based upon the actual and pro forma amounts provided above, total expenses,
incurred by the Partnership amounted to $2,655,431 in fiscal 1995, a decrease of
$158,270 (6%) when compared with fiscal 1994. The largest component of this
decrease is the $113,308 (38%) decrease in fees and reimbursements to the
managing general partner in fiscal 1995 when compared with fiscal 1994. This
decrease is primarily the result of the elimination of the accrual of deferred
acquisition fees related to the Arizona Properties in June 1994. Property tax
expense decreased $15,296 (6%) in fiscal 1995 when compared to fiscal 1994,
primarily due to lower taxes assessed in 1995 on La Risa Apartments. Repairs and
maintenance expense decreased $21,003 (7%) in fiscal 1995 when compared to
fiscal 1994 mainly due to roof and parking lot repairs completed at Venetian
Square Shopping Center in fiscal 1994. Environmental expense was $72,136 for
fiscal 1995, an increase of $24,405 (51%) over fiscal 1994, representing costs
associated with the continued evaluation of the soil and groundwater remediation
at Venetian Square Shopping Center.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Combined cash and cash equivalent balances, which represent Partnership
reserves, were $1,240,077 at September 30, 1996, representing an increase of
$403,937 when compared with fiscal 1995 year-end balances. Net cash used by
operating activities in fiscal 1996 amounted to $616,410. The most significant
change in assets and liabilities in fiscal 1996 relates to a decrease in payable
to managing general partner relating to operations of $914,384. This decrease
represents the payment of past due fees and reimbursements to the Managing
General Partner in fiscal 1996. At September 30, 1996 the payable to managing
general partner totaled $602,323. Other significant changes in assets and
liabilities included accounts receivable and other assets, property taxes
payable, interest payable, tenant security deposits and accounts payable and
accrued expenses, all of which decreased as a result of the payment of all
liabilities related to LaRisa.
Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 1996 amounted to $5,880,938
primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of LaRisa in the amount of
$6,053,468 reduced by additions to real estate investments of $113,257 and
deferred leasing costs of $59,273.
12
<PAGE>
The Partnership's fiscal 1996 deferred leasing costs include costs related to
tenant finish and lease commissions associated with new tenants and the renewal
of existing tenants at Venetian Square Shopping Center.
Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $4,860,591 in fiscal 1996,
primarily comprised of reductions in mortgage principal of $3,852,733 and a
distribution to limited partners of $999,900. The reduction in mortgage
principal is primarily the payoff of the loan balance secured by LaRisa. The
distribution of $999,900 ($45.45/unit) was made to limited partners in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The Partnership is required under its Partnership Agreement to maintain cash
reserves of not less than 3% of aggregate capital contributions (or $660,000)
for normal repairs, replacements, working capital and other contingencies. As of
September 30, 1996, the Partnership had $1,240,077 in cash reserves. The
Partnership intends to apply cash flow generated from Partnership operations in
fiscal 1997, if any, to maintain minimum required cash reserves, including any
additional reserves deemed necessary by the Managing General Partner to cover
potential remediation costs of the petroleum contamination at Venetian Square
Shopping Center as discussed below. Thereafter, the Partnership intends to pay
the Managing General Partner all unpaid cash advances made to the Partnership,
all unpaid administrative reimbursements, all unpaid property management fees
and all deferred fees earned by the Managing General Partner, which total
$22,961, $8,640, $1,228 and $569,494 respectively, as of September 30, 1996.
To the knowledge of the Managing General Partner, the Remaining Property is in
good physical condition. In fiscal 1997, other than tenant finish costs
associated with ongoing additional leasing efforts at Venetian Square Shopping
Center, there are no other material expenditures planned at the Partnership's
Remaining Property in fiscal 1997.
The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell the Partnership's remaining
real estate investment in fiscal 1997. However, there can be no assurances that
the Partnership will sell the Remaining Property in 1997. The Partnership has
entered into a listing agreement with an unrelated real estate brokerage firm to
act as exclusive selling agent for the Remaining Property. The Managing General
Partner believes that this sale will provide net proceeds to the Partnership
after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and mortgages payable; however,
this sales transaction may include both cash at closing and deferred payments to
the Partnership. The ability of the Partnership to sell Venetian Square Shopping
Center may be adversely affected by the potential remediation costs of the
petroleum contamination at the property. The Partnership intends to apply net
sales proceeds to pay all remaining liabilities identified by the Managing
General Partner arising out of or in connection with the operations of the
Partnership and the sale of Venetian, including amounts owed to the Managing
General Partner. Thereafter, all remaining cash reserves of the Partnership will
be utilized to first pay the costs of liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership and then to make a final distribution to limited partners.
On February 29, 1996 the Partnership sold the land, related improvements and
personal property of LaRisa Apartments ("LaRisa"). The purchaser, ALT Affordable
Housing Service, Inc. is not affiliated with the Partnership, its Managing
General Partner or any affiliate, director, officer or associate of the
foregoing, and the sales price was determined by arm's length negotiations.

The net proceeds to the Partnership, before proration of operating income and
expenses related to the property, were as follows:

$ 2,416,693

Net Proceeds
The net proceeds were utilized as follows:
Distribution to limited partners ($45.45/unit) $ 999,900
Partial repayment of cash advances, reimbursement and
deferred fees to the Managing General Partner 1,000,000
Addition to Partnership cash reserves 416,793
-----------
$ 2,416,693
===========
</TABLE>
The Partnership recorded a net gain on sale of real estate investment of
$1,329,705 related to this transaction, resulting from the excess of the net
sales proceeds over the Partnership's net carrying value of La Risa.
In October 1995, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Great West Life
Assurance Company (Great West) to extend the maturity date of the first mortgage
payable secured by Venetian Square Shopping Center to October 1, 1997. Under the
agreement, the Partnership paid an extension fee of $20,000. The interest rate
on the loan was increased from 9 1/2% to 10 1/2% and the monthly principal and
interest payment was increased from $37,683 to $39,098.
The Partnership is evaluating the remediation of petroleum contaminated soil and
groundwater on a parcel of land adjacent to and part of the Venetian Square
Shopping Center. The contamination resulted from a leaking underground storage
tank which was part of a card-lock fueling station operated on the site. The
Partnership has been advised that groundwater contamination has also occurred
and the Partnership is in the process of determining the method, cost and timing
of required soil and groundwater remediation measures. The Partnership has spent
approximately $300,000 to date in connection with the remediation program and
since fiscal 1993 has maintained an accrual of approximately $250,000 as a
provision for possible additional remediation expenses. Management is unable at
this time to estimate the extent of additional expenses that may be incurred.
Due to groundwater contamination, the Partnership may incur significant
additional remediation costs. Accordingly, the Financial Statements contained in
Item 8 of this report do not include any further adjustments that reflect the
results of the ultimate resolution of this uncertainty. See Note 7 to the
Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report for a more detailed
discussion of this situation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 121, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,1995.
Statement No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets
used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership will
adopt Statement No. 121 effective January 1, 1996. The effect of such adoption
is not expected to be significant.

BOETTCHER WESTERN PROPERTIES III LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Significant Accounting Principles
---------------------------------
Organization and Allocation of Income and Losses
------------------------------------------------
Boettcher Western Properties III Ltd. (the Partnership) is a limited
partnership formed on March 18, 1983 for the purpose of investing in
improved and unimproved real property. Limited Partnership Interests
(Units) were sold through a public offering and currently 22,000 Units at
$1,000 per Unit are outstanding.
The managing general partner of the Partnership is Boettcher Properties,
Ltd. (BPL), and the associate general partner is Boettcher 1983 Associates,
Ltd.
The Partnership Agreement provides for the net operating income of the
Partnership to be allocated as follows: (i) to the limited partners to the
extent necessary to satisfy the 8% Current Distribution Preference, as
defined (an amount equal to 8% of the daily average aggregate adjusted
capital contributions of the limited partners) and (ii) 1% of the remainder
to the General Partners and 99% to the limited partners. Net operating
losses are allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the limited
partners.
The Partnership Agreement provides for net capital income from the sale or
other disposition of Partnership properties to be allocated on a cumulative
basis as follows: (i) 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the limited
partners to the extent of depreciation deductions taken from the inception
of the Partnership, (ii) to the limited partners to the extent necessary to
satisfy the Net Proceeds Distribution Preference, as defined (an amount
equal to the sum of limited partner capital contributions not yet returned
and any unsatisfied 8% current Distribution Preference from prior periods)
and (iii) 25% of the remainder to the General Partners and 75% to the
limited partners. Net capital loss is allocated 1% to the General Partners
and 99% to the limited partners.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities
-------------------------------------
Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation
costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties,
and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be
reasonably estimated. The costs of site clean-up are recorded in the
amount of the cash payments made or for future estimated costs for that
site when fixed or reliably determinable based upon information derived
from the remediation plan for that site. Recoveries from third parties
which are probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not
offset against the related environmental liability.
In October 1996, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation
Liabilities. SOP 96-1 will be adopted by the Partnership during fiscal
1997 and will require, among other things, environmental remediation
liabilities to be accrued when the criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies, have been met. The SOP also provides guidance with
22

BOETTCHER WESTERN PROPERTIES III LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
respect to the measurement of the remediation liabilities. Such accounting
is consistent with the Partnership's current method of accounting for
environmental remediation costs and therefore, adoption of this new
Statement will not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Deferred Leasing Costs
----------------------
Costs associated with the leasing of the Partnership's shopping center are
deferred and amortized over the life of the related leases. These costs
are comprised of lease commissions and construction costs related to the
buildout of tenant space.
Financial Instruments
---------------------
The fair value of the Partnership's financial instruments approximate their
carrying values due to the short maturities of those instruments or due to
the interest rates of those instruments approximating interest rates for
similar issues.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision has been made for federal income taxes, as the taxable income
(loss) is reported by the partners rather than the Partnership. The
Partnership reports certain transactions differently for tax and financial
statement purposes, primarily depreciation and debt discount.
A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) per the accompanying financial
statements and Partnership's tax return is shown in the table below.
Results of operations for the year ended September 30, 1996 as shown in the
financial statements is actual. However, the Partnership's tax return for
December 31, 1996 has not been prepared; therefore, the reconciling items
for 1996 are estimates by management.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Estate Investments
-----------------------
Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value
based upon independent appraised values less estimated selling costs.
Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method
over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Equipment and furnishings are
depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of
5 years. Renewals and betterment's are capitalized, and repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
In March of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 121, effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,1995. Statement No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be
disposed of. The Partnership will adopt Statement No. 121 effective with
its fiscal year beginning October 1, 1996.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
include highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity
of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the
following as of September 30:

========== ========
</TABLE>
Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
-------------------------------------
Costs incurred in arranging financing, such as loan origination fees,
commitment fees and extension fees, are deferred and amortized using the
level-interest-yield method over the term of the related debt or the
extension period.
Debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the level-interest-
yield method over the term of the related debt.
Use of Estimates
----------------
Management of the Partnership has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification
----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with fiscal
1996 financial statement presentation.
(2) Real Estate Investments
Mortgages assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Partnership's
properties were discounted using an equivalent market rate of interest as
of the date of acquisition. For financial statement purposes, the resulting
discount is deducted from the original cost basis of the related real
estate investment property, thereby resulting in a reduction of
depreciation expense over the life of the assets.
As of September 30, 1996, the fair value of the Partnership's properties
held for sale exceeds cost, based upon independent appraised values or

(4) Transactions with Related Parties
---------------------------------
BPL is the Managing Agent of the Partnership and is paid an annual fee for
its services. The annual fee is comprised of a property management fee and
a deferred acquisition fee. The property management fee is equal to 5% of
gross receipts from the Properties, less management fees paid to others.
The property management fee earned by BPL amounted to $6,255, $15,734 and
$38,635 for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively. The deferred acquisition fee is an annual fee equal to the
sum of 2% of average daily invested capital plus 1/2 of 1% of average daily
liquid capital, as defined. The deferred acquisition fee is payable for a
maximum of 15 years and is limited in the aggregate to payments having a
discounted value equal to 14% of gross limited partner capital
contributions. Payments made over the 15-year period will be discounted at
10% per year from the date of payment to May 2, 1983 in determining whether
the limit has been reached. Payments are limited in the aggregate to
$3,080,000. Since inception, the total discounted deferred acquisition fee
earned by the Managing General Partner is approximately $2,329,000. The
annual deferred acquisition fee earned by BPL amounted to $104,335,
$140,364 and $230,978 for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively.
The Partnership also reimburses BPL for its allocable share of salaries of
nonmanagement and nonsupervisory personnel providing accounting, investor
reporting and communications, and legal services to the Partnership and
allowable expenses related to the maintenance and repair of data processing
equipment used for or by the Partnership. The amount due to BPL for such
reimbursements for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994
amounted to $22,940, $30,795 and $30,588, respectively.

(6) Liquidity and Debt Maturities
-----------------------------
The Partnership is required under its Partnership Agreement to maintain
cash reserves of not less than 3% of aggregate capital contributions for
normal repairs, replacements, working capital and other contingencies. As
of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash reserves of $1,240,077,
while the required minimum amount was $660,000.
During fiscal 1996, the payable to managing general partner decreased
$925,068 to a total of $602,323 as of September 30, 1996. This decrease is
the result of the accrual of fees and reimbursements earned by the Managing
General Partner in fiscal 1996 and cash advances received from the Managing
General Partner during fiscal 1996 totaling $133,530 and $141,402,
respectively, and payments to the Managing General Partner of $1,200,000,
primarily from the proceeds of the sale of LaRisa Apartments. The Managing
General Partner intends to apply cash flow generated from Partnership
operations in fiscal 1997, if any, to maintain the minimum required cash
reserves, as necessary, including any additional reserves to cover
remediation costs at Venetian Square Shopping Center. Thereafter, the
Partnership intends to pay the Managing General Partner all unpaid cash
advances made to the Partnership, all unpaid administrative reimbursements
and all deferred fees earned by the Managing General Partner.
The Managing General Partner is attempting to sell the Partnership's
remaining real estate investment in fiscal 1997. However, there can be no
assurances that the Partnership will sell such Property in 1997. As of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, the remaining real estate investments are
classified as properties held for sale. The Partnership has entered into a
listing agreement with an unrelated real estate brokerage firm to act as
the exclusive selling agent for the Remaining Property. The Managing
General Partner believes that this sale will provide net proceeds to the
Partnership after the payment of sales costs, closing costs and mortgages
payable; however, this sale transaction may include both cash at closing
and deferred payments to the Partnership. The ability of the Partnership
to sell

Venetian Square Shopping Center may be adversely affected by the potential
remediation costs of the petroleum contamination of the property. The
Partnership intends to apply net sales proceeds to pay all remaining
liabilities identified by the Managing General Partner arising out of or in
connection with the operations of the Partnership and the sale of Venetian,
including amounts owed to the Managing General Partner. Thereafter, all
remaining cash reserves of the Partnership will be utilized to first pay
the costs of liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership and then to
make a final distribution to limited partners.
On October 24, 1995, the Partnership entered into a letter agreement with
Great West Life Assurance Company (Great West) to extend the maturity date
of the first mortgage payable secured by Venetian Square Shopping Center to
October 1, 1997. Under the agreement, the Partnership was obligated to pay
a $20,000 fee, the interest rate was increased to 10.5% and the monthly
payment was increased to $39,098 effective October 1, 1995.
(7) Environmental Remediation Costs
-------------------------------
From approximately 1979 through 1990 a card-lock fueling station had been
operated on a parcel of land adjacent to and a part of Venetian Square
Shopping Center. In 1990, operation of the fueling station ceased, and in
fiscal 1991 the Partnership determined that it would be permanently closed.
In compliance with the California and San Joaquin County environmental
regulatory requirements, the Partnership contracted with an environmental
engineering firm to perform Phase I and Phase II environmental site
assessments on this specific parcel of land. The results of those site
assessments suggested that the site may contain petroleum contaminants. In
fiscal 1992, the Partnership contracted for the excavation and removal of
the three underground fuel storage tanks located on this parcel of land.
Upon excavation and removal of those underground fuel storage tanks,
leakage of petroleum contaminants was discovered through performance of
soil and groundwater tests. The Partnership retained California legal
counsel and contracted with an environmental engineering firm (EEF) to
perform further site analysis and to determine the proximate cause and
extent of any contaminants. In the first quarter of fiscal 1993, the
Partnership received the Preliminary Site Assessment report (the PSA) from
the EEF detailing the results of its Phase II soil and groundwater sampling
and analysis, as well as the EEF's recommendation for further action. In
working with the San Joaquin County Public Health Services/Environmental
Health Division (San Joaquin), the Partnership received approval to proceed
with quarterly groundwater monitoring of the site for a term of one year
which was completed as of December 31, 1993. An Evaluation of Remedial
Alternatives For Petroleum Hydrocarbon Impacted Soil (the Report) was
submitted to San Joaquin for further review and comments. San Joaquin
notified the Partnership that the remedial alternative consisting primarily
of soil vapor extraction complies with regulatory requirements and
requested that the Partnership submit a work plan to the regulatory

agency which will include the proposed actions and proposed schedule for
implementation and operation of the soil vapor extraction system. However,
the Partnership has been advised that groundwater contamination has also
occurred and the Partnership is in the process of determining the method,
cost and timing of required soil and groundwater remediation measures. The
Partnership has spent approximately $300,000 to date in connection with
the remediation program and since fiscal 1993 has maintained an accrual of
approximately $250,000 as a provision for possible additional remediation
expenses. Management is unable at this time to estimate the full extent of
additional expenses that may be incurred. Due to groundwater
contamination, the Partnership may incur significant additional
remediation costs. The estimate of costs and their timing of payment could
change as a result of (1) changes to a remediation plan required by the
State Environmental Agency, (2) changes in technology available to treat
the site, (3) unforeseen circumstances existing at the site and (4)
differences between actual inflation rates and rates assumed in preparing
the estimate. As a result of these factors, it is not possible for the
Partnership to reasonably estimate the amount by which remediation costs
may exceed amounts that the Partnership has accrued. The ultimate
resolution of this matter and its impact on the Partnership's financial
statements is uncertain.
