                        ANGELES INCOME PROPERTIES, LTD. III
                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements of Angeles Income
Properties,  Ltd. III (the  "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and  with the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and  Item  310(b)  of
Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  In the  opinion of Angeles  Realty  Corporation  II (the
"Managing  General  Partner"),  all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.
Operating  results for the three month  period  ended  March 31,  2000,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending  December 31, 2000. For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Principles  of  Consolidation:  The  consolidated  financial  statements  of the
Partnership include its 99% limited  partnership  interests in Poplar Square AIP
III, L.P. and Poplar Square GP LP. Poplar Square GP LP is the general partner of
Poplar Square AIP III and ARC II is the general  partner of Poplar Square GP LP.
Both general  partners of the  consolidated  partnerships  may be removed by the
Registrant;  therefore,  the partnerships are controlled and consolidated by the
Partnership. All significant interpartnership balances have been eliminated.

Note B - Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment  Investment and Management Company  ("AIMCO"),  a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving  corporation
(the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner does not believe that
this  transaction  has had or will have a  material  effect on the  affairs  and
operations of the Partnership.

Note C - Discontinued Operations

Poplar  Square  Shopping  Center  was  the  only  commercial   property  of  the
Partnership and was one segment of the Partnership's operations. Due to the sale
of this property in December 1999,  the operating  results of this property have
been shown as loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 and,  accordingly,  the 1999  statement of operations has been
restated  to  reflect  this   presentation.   Revenues  of  this  property  were
approximately  $216,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 and the
Partnership  realized  a loss  from  discontinued  operations  of  approximately
$47,000 for the same period.

Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  Partnership  has no employees  and is  dependent  on the  Managing  General
Partner  and  its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of all
Partnership  activities.  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  (i) for certain
payments to affiliates for services and (ii)  reimbursement  of certain expenses
incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

The following  payments were made to the Managing General Partner and affiliates
during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                                              2000       1999
                                                              (in thousands)

   Property management fees (included in
     operating expenses)                                      $ 10       $ 11
   Partnership management fee (included in other
      liabilities)                                              47         --
   Reimbursement for services of affiliates
     (included in general and administrative
      expenses)                                                 13         21

During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 affiliates of the Managing
General  Partner  were  entitled  to  receive  5% of  gross  receipts  from  the
Registrant's   residential  property  as  compensation  for  providing  property
management  services.  The  Registrant  paid  to such  affiliates  approximately
$10,000  and  $11,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.

The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 10% of "net cash flow from
operations",  as defined in the Partnership Agreement to be paid to the Managing
General Partner for executive and administrative  management services.  This fee
is calculated and accrued  annually.  A fee of approximately  $47,000 was earned
for the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  1999  and is  included  in  other
liabilities at March 31, 2000.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $13,000 and
$21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

AIMCO and its affiliates  currently own 33,632 limited  partnership units in the
Partnership  representing  38.774% of the  outstanding  units. A number of these
units were acquired  pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its  affiliates.
It is possible  that AIMCO or its  affiliates  will make one or more  additional
offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in the Partnership
for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership of AIMCO.  Under
the  Partnership  Agreement,  unitholders  holding a  majority  of the Units are
entitled  to take action  with  respect to a variety of matters.  When voting on
matters,  AIMCO would in all  likelihood  vote the Units it acquired in a manner
favorable  to the  interest of the  Managing  General  Partner  because of their
affiliation with the Managing General Partner.

Note E - Distributions

The Partnership  paid a cash  distribution  from sale proceeds of  approximately
$1,205,000  (approximately  $1,193,000  to the limited  partners,  or $13.75 per
limited   partnership  unit)  and  from  operations  of  approximately   $70,000
(approximately  $69,000 to the limited partners, or $.80 per limited partnership
unit),  during the three months ended March 31, 2000. No distributions were paid
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Note F - Segment Reporting

Description of the types of products and services from which reportable  segment
derives its revenues:

The  Partnership  had  two  reportable  segments:   residential  properties  and
commercial properties.  The Partnership's  residential property segment consists
of one apartment complex located in Mississippi. The Partnership rents apartment
units to  tenants  for terms  that are  typically  twelve  months  or less.  The
commercial  property  segment  consisted of a shopping center located in Oregon,
which was sold on December 30, 1999.  As a result of the sale of the  commercial
property   during  1999,  the  commercial   segment  is  shown  as  discontinued
operations.

Measurement of segment profit or loss:

The  Partnership  evaluates  performance  based on segment  profit (loss) before
depreciation.  The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as
those of the Partnership as described in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segment:

The  Partnership's  reportable  segments are  investment  properties  that offer
different  products  and  services.  The  reportable  segments  are each managed
separately  because they  provide  distinct  services  with  different  types of
products and customers.

Segment  information for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is shown
in the tables below.  The "Other"  column  includes  Partnership  administration
related  items and income and expense not allocated to the  reportable  segments
(in thousands).

Note G - Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial  Group,  Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs  named as defendants,  among others,
the  Partnership,  the Managing  General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging  the  acquisition  by Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia")  and  entities  which  were,  at one time,  affiliates  of Insignia
("Insignia  Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities,  past
tender offers by Insignia  Affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units, the
management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Note B - Transfer  of  Control").  The  plaintiffs  seek  monetary  damages and
equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25,
1998,  the Managing  General  Partner  filed a motion  seeking  dismissal of the
action.  In lieu of  responding  to the  motion,  the  plaintiffs  have filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint which were heard February 1999.  Pending the ruling on such demurrers,
settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and
filed a  Stipulation  of  Settlement,  settling  claims,  subject to final court
approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who own units as
of November 3, 1999.  Preliminary  approval of the  settlement  was  obtained on
November 3, 1999 from the Superior Court of the State of  California,  County of
San Mateo, at which time the Court set a final approval hearing for December 10,
1999.  Prior to the  December  10,  1999  hearing  the  Court  received  various
objections to the settlement,  including a challenge to the Court's  preliminary
approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of class  plaintiffs'  counsel
to enter the settlement.  On December 14, 1999, the Managing General Partner and
its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. Certain plaintiffs have filed
a motion to  disqualify  some of the  plaintiffs'  counsel  in the  action.  The
Managing  General  Partner does not anticipate  that costs  associated with this
case will be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

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

The  matters  discussed  in this Form  10-QSB  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions,   competitive  and  regulatory   matters,   etc.)  detailed  in  the
disclosures  contained  in this  Form  10-QSB  and the  other  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The
discussion of the  Registrant's  business and results of  operations,  including
forward-looking  statements  pertaining  to such  matters,  does not  take  into
account the effects of any changes to the  Registrant's  business and results of
operation.  Accordingly,  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.

The Partnership's  investment  property consists of one apartment  complex.  The
following  table sets forth the average  occupancy of the property for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                         Average Occupancy

Property                                 2000        1999

Lake Forest Apartments                    93%         91%
   Brandon, Mississippi

Results from Operations

The  Registrant's net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was
approximately $24,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $35,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31,  1999.  The  increase in net income is  primarily
attributable to the loss from discontinued  operations of approximately  $47,000
for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999.  The  decrease  in the loss from
discontinued  operations is due to the sale of the property in December of 1999.
Poplar Square was the only  commercial  property  owned by the  Partnership  and
represented one segment of the Partnership's operations. Due to the sale of this
property,  the results of the  commercial  segment  have been shown as loss from
discontinued  operations  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  and,
accordingly,  the 1999 statement of operations has been restated to reflect this
presentation.

The  Registrant's  income from continuing  operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was  approximately  $24,000 as compared to approximately  $12,000
for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1999.  The  increase  in  income  from
continuing operations is primarily attributable to a decrease in total expenses.
The  decrease  in total  expenses  is  primarily  attributable  to a decrease in
general  and  administrative   expense.   General  and  administrative  expenses
decreased primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses due to the settlement of
lawsuits in 1999 as  disclosed in the  Partnership's  March 31, 1999 Form 10-QSB
and reduced reimbursements to the Managing General Partner.  Included in general
and  administrative  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
are reimbursements to the Managing General Partner allowed under the Partnership
Agreement.  In  addition,   costs  associated  with  the  quarterly  and  annual
communications  with  investors  and  regulatory  agencies  and the annual audit
required by the Partnership Agreement are also included.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the Managing General
Partner  monitors the rental market  environment of its  investment  property to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting  the  Partnership  from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from
the burden of  inflation-related  increases in expenses by increasing  rents and
maintaining a high overall  occupancy  level.  However,  due to changing  market
conditions,  which  can  result  in the use of  rental  concessions  and  rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2000, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$987,000 as compared to  approximately  $1,433,000  at March 31,  1999.  The net
decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  was  approximately  $1,266,000  from the
Registrant's  year  ended  December  31,  1999.  The  decrease  in cash and cash
equivalents  was  due to  approximately  $1,275,000  of cash  used in  financing
activities and approximately $16,000 of cash used in investing activities, which
was  partially  offset by  approximately  $25,000 of cash  provided by operating
activities.  Cash used in financing  activities  consisted of  distributions  to
partners.  Cash used in investing activities consisted of property  improvements
and replacements. The Registrant invests its working capital reserves in a money
market account.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the Partnership's  property to adequately maintain the
physical  assets and other  operating needs of the Registrant and to comply with
Federal,   state,   and  local  legal  and  regulatory   requirements.   Capital
improvements planned for the Registrant's property are detailed below.

Lake Forest  Apartments:  The  Partnership  budgeted  approximately  $59,000 for
capital  improvements  at Lake Forest  Apartments  for the year 2000  consisting
primarily of appliance replacements,  air conditioning unit replacements,  floor
covering  replacements  and  structural  improvements.  As of March 31, 2000 the
property has spent  approximately  $16,000 on capital  expenditures,  consisting
primarily of appliance  replacements,  major landscaping and roof  improvements.
These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. Additional improvements
may be considered  and will depend on the physical  condition of the property as
well  as  replacement  reserves  and  anticipated  cash  flow  generated  by the
property.

The additional  capital  expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from  operations  or  Partnership  reserves.  To the extent  that such  budgeted
capital improvements are completed, the Registrant's distributable cash flow, if
any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The  Registrant's  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Registrant.

The Partnership  paid a cash  distribution  from sale proceeds of  approximately
$1,205,000  (approximately  $1,193,000  to the limited  partners,  or $13.75 per
limited   partnership  unit)  and  from  operations  of  approximately   $70,000
(approximately  $69,000 to the limited partners, or $.80 per limited partnership
unit),  during the three months ended March 31, 2000. No distributions were paid
during the three  months ended March 31, 1999.  Future cash  distributions  will
depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations,  the availability of
cash  reserves,  mortgage  financing,  and/or  the  sale  of the  property.  The
Partnership's  distribution policy is reviewed on a semi-annual basis. There can
be no assurance,  however,  that the Partnership will generate  sufficient funds
from  operations,  after required  capital  expenditures,  to permit  additional
distributions  to its  partners  during  the  remainder  of 2000  or  subsequent
periods.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia

management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Part 1 - Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note B - Transfer

including  judicial  dissolution  of the  Partnership.  On June  25,  1998,  the
Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu
of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The
Managing  General  Partner filed  demurrers to the amended  complaint which were
