1.       GENERAL PARTNER'S DISCLOSURE
         ----------------------------

         In the opinion of the General Partners of Realmark Property Investors
         Limited Partnership III, all adjustments necessary for the fair
         presentation of the Partnership's financial position, results of
         operations, and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
         1998 and 1997 have been made in the financial statements. The financial
         statements are unaudited and subject to any year-end adjustments which
         may be necessary.

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.

         FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP (CONTINUED)
         -------------------------------------------------

         Net income or loss arising from the sale or refinancing shall be
         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.

         Partnership income or loss not arising from sale or refinancing shall
         be allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the general
         partners.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         ------------------------------------------

         Use of estimates
         ----------------

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

         Cash
         ----

         For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes the following
         items: cash on hand; cash in checking; and money market savings.

         Property and depreciation
         -------------------------

         Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
         estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for
         maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and major renewals
         and betterments are capitalized. The Accelerated Cost Recovery System
         are used to calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes.

         Rental income
         -------------

         Leases for residential properties have terms of one year or less.
         Commercial leases generally have terms of one to five years. Rental
         income is recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the
         lease.

         -----------------------------------------------------

         Investments in mutual funds
         ---------------------------

         The investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value, which
         approximates cost, at June 30, 1998.

4.       ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY
         ----------------------------------------------

         In August 1984 the Partnership acquired a 112 unit apartment complex
         (Bryn Mawr) located in Ypsilanti, Michigan for a purchase price of
         $1,833,554, which included $134,857 in acquisition fees. In 1985 the
         acquisition fees related to the purchase of Bryn Mawr were reduced by
         $18,600 and reallocated to properties by the Partnership that year.

         In August 1986 the Bryn Mawr Apartments were sold for $3,110,000. The
         net cash proceeds of approximately $667,000 from the sale were
         distributed to the investors on a pro rata basis. The Partnership
         recognized a gain for financial statement purposes of $1,475,313. For
         income tax purposes, the gain will be recognized under the installment
         sale method.

         In February 1985 the Partnership acquired a 190 unit apartment complex
         (Castle Dore) in Indianapolis, Indiana for a purchase price of
         $3,711,683, which included acquisition fees of $414,279.

         In February 1985 the Partnership acquired a 208 unit apartment complex
         (Parc Bordeaux) in Indianapolis, Indiana for a purchase price of
         $3,845,064, which included acquisition fees of $371,233.

         In December 1988 the Partnership sold Parc Bordeaux Apartments for a
         sale price of $5,300,000 which generated a total net gain for financial
         statement purposes of $2,338,067. For income tax purposes, the gain
         will be recognized under the installment sale method.

         In June 1985 the Partnership acquired a 200 unit apartment complex
         (Williamsburg South Apartments) in Atlanta, Georgia for a purchase
         price of $5,138,745, which included acquisition fees of $368,745.

         In August 1985 the Partnership acquired a 38,500 square foot office

         ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY (CONTINUED)
         ---------------------------------------------------------

         In November 1985 the Partnership acquired a 130 unit apartment complex
         (Pleasant Run) in Cincinnati, Ohio for a purchase price of $3,434,728,
         which included acquisition fees of $267,228.

         In December 1985 the Partnership acquired a 280 unit apartment complex
         (Ambassador Towers, formerly Cedar Ridge) in Monroeville, Pennsylvania
         for a purchase price of $6,423,391, which included acquisition fees of
         $646,424.

         In December 1996, the Partnership sold the Williamsburg South
         Apartments and Pleasant Run Farms Apartments for a sales price of
         $4,831,000 and $3,350,000, respectively, less related fees of $93,000.
         The sales generated a total net gain of $3,501,323 for financial
         statement purposes.

         In December 1997, the Partnership sold the Castle Dore Apartments for a
         sales price of $5,160,000, less related fees of approximately $174,000.
         The sale generated a total net gain of $3,095,376 for financial
         statement purposes.

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

         INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED)
         ---------------------------------------

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

         To the Partnership until it 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 was to be divided equally.

         To the extent there were net proceeds from any sale or refinancing of
         the subject property, the proceeds were to 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 had received an overall 9% cumulative
         return on its underwritten equity.

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

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

         In November 1997, the Partnership acquired the interest of Delhurst
         Corporation, the other joint venture partner, for $55,000. At June 30,
         1998, the Partnership owned 100% of the Inducon Amherst property. The
         property began to be consolidated into the Partnership's financial
         statements beginning November 1, 1997.

6.       MORTGAGES AND NOTES PAYABLE
         ---------------------------

         Castle Dore
         -----------

         A mortgage with a balance of $2,550,000 at June 30, 1997, providing for
         monthly interest payments only, bearing interest at 9.1875%. The note
         was to mature June 1999. This mortgage was refinanced during May 1997.

         receiver by the lender. The mortgage obligation was paid in March 1998,
         after the lender accepted a discounted pay-off of the mortgage which
         resulted in an approximate gain of $210,000 due to the extinguishment
         of debt.

         Inducon Amherst
         ---------------

         A mortgage with a balance of $1,851,316 and $1,871,873 at June 30, 1998

7.       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         -----------------------------------

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
         about fair value of certain financial instruments. The fair value of
         accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deposit
         liabilities approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature
         of these instruments.

         Management has estimated that the fair value of the mortgages at June
         30, 1998 on Ambassador Towers and Inducon Amherst approximate their
         carrying values of $3,130,049 and $1,851,316, respectively, as the
         mortgages were obtained recently.

8.       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 $50,192 and $78,802 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
         and 1997, 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 six months
         ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

         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 receivable - affiliates amounted to $68,268 and $0 at June 30,
         1998 and 1997, respectively. The balance due is payable on demand.

         Accounts payable - affiliates amounted to $0 and $83,697 at June 30,
         1998 and 1997, respectively. The payable represents fees due to the
         general partner or to affiliates of the general partner. Interest
         charged on amounts due affiliates totaled $72,629 and $38,005 for the
         six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         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 $4,080 and $7,020 for the six months ended
         June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

9.       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 six month periods ended June 30,
         1998 and 1997 as reported in the statements of operations, and as would
         be reported for tax purposes respectively, is as follows:

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

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

Although the Partnership showed a significant cash shortfall for the first six
months of 1998, this was primarily due to the payment in full of the mortgage on
the Perrymont Office Building. Cash flow from operations was a positive figure,
which shows the direction in which the Partnership is going. Management
continues to be optimistic that expenses will continue to decrease as tighter
control is being exercised over expenditures; with more control over spending in
place, management is focusing more of its efforts on ways to increase operating
revenue.

The General Partner has plans to make substantial capital improvements to the
Perrymont Office Building. Work is expected to begin during the third quarter of
1998. It is felt that the physical improvements to the exterior of the building
and the common parts of the interior will increase the curb appeal of the
building and therefore attract new tenants. Capital improvement work at
Ambassador Towers continues with carpets and appliances being replaced as needed
and all common hallways being renovated.

There were no distributions for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1997. The Partnership is currently using the cash generated from operations and
the sales which took place in 1996 to complete necessary capital improvements
and maintenance at the remaining properties in the Partnership. The General
Partner hopes to resume distributions in the near future.



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

For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership's net loss was $211,947 or
$13.22 per limited partnership unit. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 amounted to $431,358 or $26.91 per unit. For the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, the net loss was $107,836 or $6.73 per limited partnership unit
as compared to $740,530 or $46.19 per limited partnership unit for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997.


                                      -18-


<PAGE>

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

Partnership revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 totaled $695,958, a
decrease of approximately $44,800 from the 1997 amount of $740,741. Total rental
revenue dropped almost $42,000, which makes up most of the decrease in total
revenue. The decrease is attributed to there being one less complex in the
Partnership since Castle Dore Apartments was sold in December 1997. Also
contributing to the decrease are continuous vacancy problems at Perrymont.
Although occupancy levels at Ambassador Towers (formerly Cedar Ridge) continued
to climb during 1998, continued vacancies at Perrymont Office Building have hurt
the Partnership financially. Management believes that scheduled improvements to
the properties will result in increased occupancies and cash flow by the end of
1998. The payment of the Perrymont mortgage in full in early 1998 resulted in a
gain of approximately $210,000.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, Partnership expenses amounted to $907,905,
decreasing just over $247,700 from the same 1997 quarter amount. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1998, Partnership expenses decreased by over
$693,000 from the same period in 1997. Total expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 were $1,519,803 and $2,212,854, respectively. A good
portion of the decrease in expenses is the result of the sale in December 1997
of Castle Dore Apartments; no expenses were recorded in 1998 for this property.
Additionally, there was a significant decrease in interest expense due to the
sale and payment in full of the mortgage on Castle Dore Apartments.
Administrative expenses paid to affiliates also saw a decrease due to less
properties in the Partnership; this resulted in less management fees paid and/or
accrued. Depreciation expense increased by over $206,000 between the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. This is primarily due to Inducon Amherst now being
reported as a consolidated venture since the joint venture partner was bought
out during 1997. Formerly, Inducon Amherst was reported as an unconsolidated
joint venture. Management expects to see an increase in maintenance expenses and
payroll in the next several months as the properties are undergoing physical
improvements, many of which are being done by using in-house labor, such as
painting.

On a tax basis, the partnership had a loss of $255,661 or $15.95 per limited
partner unit for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 versus a tax loss of
$616,668 or $38.46 per unit for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.
