FINANCIAL NOTES
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's 1995
Annual Report. These consolidated statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to the
Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
In the opinion of the general partner, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
consolidated results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows,
the Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase
to be cash equivalents. The Partnership paid interest of
$351 and $370 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and
1995, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
LDP-III is a California limited partnership formed in August
1983. The Partnership's business consists of a single segment --
equity investments in leveraged income-producing real estate.
The Partnership currently has an investment in LDP-III Realty
Service Corporation which owns one property, the 391 Forbes
Building in South San Francisco, California. For financial
reporting purposes, the Partnership's investment in LDP-III
Realty Service Corporation is presented on a consolidated basis.
The Partnership's current portfolio consists of fee title
ownership of three properties located in three geographic areas.
The Partnership's property investments are: Jefferson Place
Office Building, Boise, Idaho; 391 Forbes Building (Pacific
International Industrial Park), South San Francisco, California;
and 1201 Cadillac Court Building, Milpitas, California.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership's consolidated cash balance
totaled $129,000. Cash not required for current operations is
placed in federally insured financial instruments and money
market funds which can be liquidated as needed.
The Partnership has invested $198,000 in short-term federally
insured certificates of deposit which mature on a date in excess
of 90 days or 3 months from the date of purchase. Due to this
characteristic, these deposits are classified as "short-term
investments" rather than as "cash and cash equivalents."
During the first six months of 1996, the Partnership experienced
a net decrease in cash of $84,000. Uses of cash included $30,000
for property capital expenditures and leasing commissions, $8,000
for principal payments on notes payable, and $46,000 for
operations. As of June 30, 1996, cash plus short-term
investments totaled $326,000 versus a balance of $410,000 at
December 31, 1995.
All sale and loan proceeds realized by the Partnership will be
used primarily to make cash distributions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following represents the operations of those properties held
continuously during the first six months of 1996 and 1995:
<CAPTION>
1996 1995 % Change
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Rental Revenue $ 653 $ 656 0%
Operating Expense 329 335 (2%)
Net Operating Income 324 321 1%
Interest Expense $ 351 $ 370 (5%)
</TABLE>
Overall, there was a slight decrease in revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 relative to the same period in 1995.
The Partnership's real estate assets in the Boise and San
Francisco Bay Area marketplace have experienced a significant
imbalance between supply and demand. A combination of historic
high building activity and recessionary economic activity caused
severe market pressures on rental rates and occupancy levels.
Property operating expenses decreased 2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 relative to the same period in 1995. This was
primarily due to greater efficiency of operations at the
commercial and apartment properties.
The Partnership general and administrative expense decreased 10%
in 1996 relative to the same period in 1995. The General Partner
continues to exercise general and administrative expense control.
Occupancy increased slightly during the quarter. 391 Forbes and
1201 Cadillac are fully occupied. The Jefferson Place office
building is currently 92% occupied.
PROPERTY SALE
During the second quarter, 391 Forbes was marketed for sale and
placed under contract. While the contract has some
contingencies, it is expected the property will be sold during
the third quarter.
INFLATION
In the past, the Partnership's rental revenues in certain over
built real estate markets, including Boise and San Francisco Bay
Area, have not followed the overall inflationary trends of the
economy. In the future, the General Partner believes market rate
rents in those areas will more closely follow or exceed
inflation. Operating costs for properties in most of the
Partnership's markets have continued to follow inflationary
trends. It is not expected that the Partnership will be
materially impacted by inflationary forces in the near term.
