     Limited   Partnership   III,  all   adjustments   necessary  for  the  fair
     presentation  of  the   Partnership's   financial   position,   results  of

2.   FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP

     Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership III (the "Partnership"),  a
     Delaware Limited Partnership,  was formed November 18, 1983, to invest in a
     diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate.

     In February 1984 the Partnership  commenced the public offering of units of
     limited partnership interest.  Other than matters relating to organization,
     it had no  business  activities  and,  accordingly,  had not  incurred  any
     expenses  or earned any income  until the first  interim  closing  (minimum
     closing) of the offering which occurred April 26, 1984. All items of income
     and expense arose subsequent to this date. On January 31, 1985 the offering
     was concluded,  at which time 15,551 units of limited partnership  interest
     were  outstanding.  The General Partners are Realmark  Properties,  Inc., a
     Delaware  corporation,  the corporate  General  Partner,  and Mr. Joseph M.
     Jayson,  the  individual  General  Partner.  Joseph  M.  Jayson is the sole
     shareholder of J.M. Jayson & Company,  Inc. (JMJ) and Realmark  Properties,
     Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc.

     Under the Partnership  agreement,  the General  Partners and affiliates can
     receive  compensation for services  rendered and reimbursement for expenses
     incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

     distributed  first to the limited partners in an amount  equivalent to a 7%
     return on the average of their adjusted capital  contributions,  then in an
     amount  equal to their  capital  contributions,  then an amount equal to an
     additional 5% of the average of their adjusted capital  contributions after
     the general  partners receive a disposition fee, then to all partners in an
     amount equal to their respective positive capital balances, and finally, in
     the ratio of 87% to the limited partners and 13% to the general partners.

     $646,424.

5.   INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

     In April 1985 the  Partnership  entered  into an  agreement  and formed the
     Inducon  Joint  Venture - Amherst  (the  Joint  Venture),  for the  primary
     purpose of constructing office/warehouse buildings in Erie County, New York
     as income producing property. The site is part of the Amherst Foreign Trade
     Zone.  This is U.S.  Customs  Territory  under federal  supervision,  where
     foreign and domestic  merchandise  is brought for  storage,  manufacturing,
     salvage,  repair, exhibit,  repacking,  relabeling or re-export.  Under the
     terms of the joint venture agreement,  the Partnership supplied $545,000 of
     capital to acquire the land and undertake  initial  development  of Phase I
     and $275,000 for Phase II. The other Joint Venturer delivered and completed
     on behalf of the Joint Venture all plans,  specifications,  maps,  surveys,
     accounting pro-formas for construction, initial leasing and operations, and
     cost estimates with respect to development.

     Ownership of the Joint Venture is divided  equally  between the Partnership
     and the other Joint Venturer. The Joint Venture agreement provides that the
     Partnership will be allocated 95% of any income or loss.

     Net cash flow from the Joint Venture is to be distributed as follows:

     To the  Partnership  until  has  received  a return  of 7% per annum on its
     underwritten  syndicated  equity. To the extent a 7% return is not received
     from year to year, it will accrue and be paid from the next  available cash
     flow.

     To the  other  Joint  Venturer  in an  amount  equal  to  that  paid to the
     Partnership. No amount will accumulate in favor of the other investor.

     Any remaining amount will be divided equally.













                                     -11-

     INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED)

     To the extent there are net proceeds  from any sale or  refinancing  of the
     subject  property,  the  proceeds  will be paid in the  following  order of
     priority:

     To  the  Partnership  to  the  extent  the 7%  per  annum  returned  on its
     underwritten equity is unpaid.

     Next to the  Partnership  until it has  received  an overall 9%  cumulative
     return on its underwritten equity.

     Next to the Partnership  until it has received an amount equal to its total
     underwritten  equity,  reduced by any prior distribution of sale, financing
     or refinancing proceeds.

     Next to the  Partnership  until it has received a  cumulative  20% per year
     return on its total underwritten equity.

     Thereafter   any  remaining  net  proceeds  will  be  divided  50%  to  the
     Partnership and 50% to the other joint venturer.

7.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Management fees for the management of Partnership's  properties are paid to
     an affiliate of the General Partner.  The management agreement provides for
     5% of gross monthly  rental  receipts of the complex to be paid as fees for
     administering  the operations of the property.  These fees totaled $169,200
     and  $114,739  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and  1995,
     respectively.

     According to the terms of the Partnership  agreement,  the general partners
     are  entitled to receive a  Partnership  management  fee equal to 7% of net
     cash  flow  (as  defined  in the  Partnership  agreement),  2% of  which is
     subordinated to the limited  partners having received an annual cash return
     equal to 7% of their adjusted capital  contributions.  No such fee has been
     paid or accrued by the  Partnership for the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and 1995.

     The general partners are also allowed to collect property  disposition fees
     upon sale of acquired  properties.  This fee is not to exceed the lesser of
     50% of amounts customarily  charged in arm's-length  transactions by others
     rendering similar services for comparable  properties or 2.75% of the sales
     price.  The  property  disposition  fee is  subordinate  to payments to the
     limited partners of a cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7%
     of their average  adjusted capital balances and to repayment to the limited
     partners of an amount equal to their capital contributions.

     The general  partners have not to date  received a  disposition  fee on the
     sale of Bryn  Mawr or Parc  Bordeaux,  as the  limited  partners  have  not
     received a return of 7% on their average adjusted capital or their original
     capital as defined in the Partnership agreement.  Once the limited partners
     receive their original  capital and a 7% return,  the general partners will
     be entitled to disposition fees of 2.75%.

     Accounts  payable - affiliates  amounted to  $1,511,072  and  $1,064,172 at
     September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The payable represents fees due
     to the general  partner or to affiliates of the general  partner.  Interest
     charged on amounts due affiliates totaled $107,978 and $64,774 for the nine
     month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership  agreement,  the corporate general
     partner  charges the  Partnership  for  reimbursement  of certain costs and
     expenses  incurred by the corporate  general  partner and its affiliates in
     connection with the  administration of the Partnership.  These charges were
     for the  Partnership's  allocated  share  of  costs  and  expenses  such as
     payroll, travel and communication, costs related to partnership accounting,
     and partner's communication and relations.

     Computer  service  charges  for the  Partnership  are paid or accrued to an
     affiliate  of the  General  Partner.  The fee is based  upon the  number of
     apartment  units and totaled $7,020 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and 1995.

8.   INCOME TAXES

     No provision has been made for income taxes since the income or loss of the
     Partnership  is to be  included  in  the  tax  returns  of  the  individual
     partners.

     The tax returns of the  Partnership  are subject to  examination by federal
     and state  taxing  authorities.  Under  federal and state  income tax laws,
     regulations  and rulings,  certain  types of  transactions  may be accorded
     varying  interpretations  and,  accordingly,  reported  Partnership amounts
     could be changed as a result of any such examination.

     The  reconciliation  of net loss for the nine month periods ended September
     30, 1996 and 1995 as reported in the statements of operations, and as would
     be reported for tax purposes respectively, is as follows:

9.   PENDING SALES

     On July 16, 1996 the Corporate  General  Partner entered into a contract on
     behalf of the Partnership to sell Castle Dore Apartments, Ambassador Towers
     (formerly Cedar Ridge Apartments), Pleasant Run Apartments and Williamsburg
     South Apartments at sales prices of $5,500,000,  $5,800,000, $3,350,000 and
     $4,831,000,   respectively.   The  contract  is  subject  to  a  number  of
     contingencies as were described in Form 8-K filed on July 31, 1996. No firm
     closing date on the sale has been established to date.

PART II:    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The General Partner continues to fund the Partnership's shortfalls in cash flow,
although  under no  obligation  to do so. In the first nine months of 1996,  the
General Partner  advances have increased by over $252,000.  Such advances to the
Partnership are considered payable on demand to the General Partner, and at this
point in time,  there is no assurance  that these  advances will  continue.  The
Partnership once again did not make any  distributions  during the third quarter
of 1996,  and is not  likely to make any in the  future  until  all  Partnership
obligations are satisfied and the General Partner is reimbursed for the advances
it has made to the Partnership.

Low  occupancy  at  several  properties  in  this  partnership  continues  to be
problematic;  economic  occupancy  levels at Ambassador  Towers  (formerly Cedar
Ridge), Pleasant Run and Perrymont Office Building declined from last quarter to
this quarter.  At Ambassador Towers and Pleasant Run,  occupancy averaged merely
70% during the third quarter of 1996. In an effort to turn this situation around
and rent up the buildings,  management  has not only made  personnel  changes at
those  sights  which  are  struggling,  but also  changed  their  marketing  and
advertising strategy.

Management  is  optimistic  that  occupancy  levels  at the  properties  in this
Partnership  will begin seeing an  improvement in the next quarter as the "peak"
rental season reaches its conclusion.  Attractive  incentive plans have been put
in place to  bring in new  tenants;  plans  for  capital  improvements,  such as
exterior painting and repairs to woodwork, are also in place. Management is also
hopeful  that  the  pending  sale(s)  of  various  of  the  properties  in  this
partnership will continue to move closer to finality.

Results of Operations:
- ----------------------

Net loss for the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1996  amounted  to
$464,173 or $28.95 per limited  partnership unit versus a net loss for the three
month  period  ended  September  30,  1995 of  $322,089  or $20.09  per  limited
partnership  unit.  For the nine month period ended  September  30, 1996 the net
loss incurred was $910,079 versus a loss of $1,097,025 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995.

On a tax basis,  the  Partnership  generated  a loss of  $731,585  or $45.63 per
limited  partnership  unit for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to a tax loss of $1,074,711 or $67.04 per limited  partnership unit for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995.


                                      -20-

Results of Operations  (continued):
- ---------------------  ------------

Partnership revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 totaled $1,050,766,
a decrease of $171,270  from the same period in 1995.  For the nine month period
ended  September  30, 1996 total  income  decreased  by over  $359,000  from the
corresponding  period in 1995.  Rental  income for the nine month  period  ended
September 30, 1996,  totaled  $3,015,990,  which was a decrease of over $421,000
over the same time  period in 1995.  The  decrease  is  directly  related to the
decrease in occupancy at several of the  complexes,  such as  Ambassador  Towers
(formerly Cedar Ridge) and the Perrymont Office Building. Additionally, in order
to boost  occupancies,  significant  rental  concessions  are being offered thus
contributing  to the drop in income.  Other income  increased  by  approximately
$62,000  between the nine month periods  ended  September 30, 1996 and September
30,  1995  primarily  due  to  increased   laundry  income  at  the  residential
properties.

For the three month period ended  September 30, 1996, the  Partnership  expenses
totaled $1,475,236,  a decrease of over $57,000 from the quarter ended September
30, 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership expenses
totaled $4,095,658, decreasing over $551,000 from corresponding quarter in 1995.
The  majority  of  the  decrease  in  expenses  is a  direct  result  of a  cost
controlling  factors in  property  operations.  Payroll  and  associated  costs,
repairs and  maintenance  and  contracted  service  expenses  are being  closely
monitored at all complexes.  As has been the pattern with virtually all expenses
in the Partnership,  administrative costs continue to decrease;  the decrease is
primarily  related to the decrease in investor service and portfolio  management
charges.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  continues  to remain  fairly
consistent with that of the prior year.

Management  is  confident  that  the  Partnership   will  be  able  to  continue
controlling its costs, and it is now making every effort to increase occupancies
in those complexes that are struggling with lower levels.  Management feels that
the last quarter of 1996 will show additional  improvements in the  occupancies,
as well as continual declines in property expenditures.
