                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                     (Unaudited)


        Readers of this quarterly report should refer to CONNECTICUT GENERAL
     REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP'S (the "Partnership") audited
     financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1993 which are
     included in the Partnership's 1993 Annual Report, as certain footnote
     disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such
     audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     1.   Basis of Accounting

     a)   Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying financial statements were
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
          It is the opinion of management that the financial statements
          presented reflect all the adjustments necessary for a fair
          presentation of the financial condition and results of operations. 
          Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements have been
          reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

     b)   Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Short term investments with a maturity of
          three months or less at the time of purchase are reported as cash
          equivalents.


     2.   Investment Properties and Notes and Mortgages Payable

        The Promenades Plaza first mortgage loan and recourse promissory note
     matured on January 1, 1994.  The promissory note was extended until March
     25, 1994 at a 4.48% interest rate.  The extension date was set to coincide
     with the maturity of the Stonebridge Manor recourse promissory note.  On
     March 25, 1994, the two promissory notes, totalling $3,400,000, were
     refinanced for a period of three years.  The interest only payments are
     fixed at a rate of 6.6% for the fist two years with no prepayment.  The
     interest only payments for the third year is calculated using a floating
     rate based on Mellon Bank's prime rate.  During the third year, the note is
     prepayable in full at any time.  The note will continue to carry a
     corporate guarantee from CIGNA.

        On May 1, 1994, the Partnership's extension on Promenades' first
     mortgage loan expired.  As an alternative to payment of the entire loan
     balance on May 1, 1994, the Partnership agreed with the first mortgage
     lender to pay an additional debt service payment to extend the maturity to
     June 1, 1994 while negotiations continued on the sale of the property.  The
     lender requested an additional debt service payment due June 1, 1994 to
     extend the loan an additional month to July 1, 1994.  Effective with the
     extension payment due June 1, 1994 (May interest due June 1), the
     Partnership defaulted.  During June, the Partnership executed a contract
     with a potential buyer subject to a number of contingencies, including the
     buyer's ability to obtain financing and the performance of due diligence. 
     As a result of the default, the first mortgage lender commenced foreclosure
     proceedings.  The foreclosure was stayed by the Court due to the pending
     sale of the property and the Partnership and the first mortgage lender
     entered into a cash collateral agreement.  The Court required the
     Partnership to complete its sale of the property by October 17, 1994.

        On September 22 1994, the Partnership completed the sale of Promenades
     Plaza to Sterling Promenades Limited Partnership for a gross sales price of
     $6,572,000.  After closing costs and payment of the first mortgage loan
     obligations, the Partnership netted approximately $261,000.  For book
     purposes, the property had a carrying value of $6,239,957 (permanent

     impairment losses aggregating $7,500,000 recorded in 1992 and 1993) and the
     Partnership recorded a gain of $24,837.

        Repayment of the $2,500,000 promissory note will not be made from the
     sale of Promenades, but from the portfolio's other remaining property
     sales.  The promissory note is not secured by the Promenades' property but
     is a general recourse obligation of the Partnership.

        The Versailles Village first mortgage matured in September 1993.  The
     Partnership received an extension until March 30, 1994, while documents
     were finalized on the property's refinance with the existing first mortgage
     lender.  On March 30, 1994, the refinancing was achieved.  The terms
     include a principal balance of $4,200,000 for seven years at 8% interest
     based on a 25 year amortization schedule.  The loan will be assumable with
     approval and payment of a 1% transfer fee.  The loan will be prepayable
     over the term of the loan at the greater of yield maintenance, tied to
     treasuries, or 1% of the outstanding loan balance.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                         Condition and Results of Operations 


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At September 30, 1994, the Partnership had $1,932,426 in cash and cash
     equivalents which will be used to fund working capital requirements and the
     Partnership's reserves.  Overall, the portfolio generated positive adjusted
     cash from operations after debt service, capital improvements and
     partnership expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1994.

        The Promenades Plaza first mortgage loan and recourse promissory note
     matured on January 1, 1994.  The first mortgage note was extended until May
     1, 1994 at existing terms to allow time for a sale.  The promissory note
     was extended until March 25, 1994 at a 4.48% interest rate.  The extension
     date was set to coincide with the maturity of the Stonebridge Manor
     recourse promissory note.  On March 25, 1994, the two recourse promissory
     notes, totalling $3,400,000 were refinanced for a period of three years. 
     The interest only payments are at a fixed rate of 6.6% for the first two
     years with no prepayment.  The interest only payment for the third year is
     a floating rate based on Mellon Bank's prime rate.  During the third year,
     the note is prepayable in full at any time.  The note will continue to
     carry a corporate guarantee from CIGNA.

        On May 1, 1994, the Partnership's extension on Promenades' first
     mortgage loan expired.  As an alternative to payment of the entire loan
     balance on May 1, 1994, the Partnership agreed with the first mortgage
     lender to pay an additional debt service payment to extend the maturity to
     June 1, 1994 while negotiations continued on the sale of the property.  The
     lender requested an additional debt service payment due June 1, 1994 to
     extend the loan an additional month to July 1, 1994.  Effective with the
     extension payment due June 1, 1994 (May interest due June 1), the
     Partnership defaulted.  During June, the Partnership executed a contract
     with a potential buyer subject to a number of contingencies, including the
     buyer's ability to obtain financing and the performance of due diligence. 
     As a result of the default, the first mortgage lender commenced foreclosure
     proceedings.  The foreclosure was stayed by the Court due to the pending
     sale of the property and the Partnership and the first mortgage lender
     entered into a cash collateral agreement.  The Court required the
     Partnership to complete its sale of the property by October 17, 1994.

        On September 22, 1994, the Partnership completed the sale of Promenades
     Plaza to Sterling Promenades Limited Partnership for a gross sales price of
     $6,572,000.  After closing costs and payment of the first mortgage loan
     obligations, the Partnership netted approximately $261,000.  For book
     purposes, the property had a carrying value of approximately $6,240,000
     (permanent impairment losses aggregating $7,500,000 recorded in 1992 and
     1993) and the Partnership recorded a gain of approximately $25,000.  For
     tax purposes, the Partnership has not recorded impairment losses previously
     and expects to record a loss on the sale.

        Repayment of the $2,500,000 promissory note will not be made from the
     sale of Promenades, but from the portfolio's cash from operations other
     remaining property sales.  The promissory note is not secured by the
     Promenades' property but is a general recourse obligation of the
     Partnership.

        The Versailles Village debt refinance was completed on March 30, 1994
     with the property's first mortgage lender.  The terms include a principal
     balance of $4,200,000 for seven years at 8% based on a 25 year amortization
     schedule.  The loan will be assumable with approval and payment of a 1%
     transfer fee.  The loan will be pre-payable over the term of the loan at
     the greater of yield maintenance, tied to treasures, or 1% of the
     outstanding loan balance.



        The difference between the loan at maturity and the net refinance
     proceeds of $138,505 was added to the Partnership's reserves.  As a
     requirement of the refinance, the Partnership set up a tax escrow account
     with the mortgage lender and deposited four months of the estimated tax
     bill, $32,275, on March 30, 1994.

        Each of the apartment properties continue to produce positive results
     for the Partnership.  Cash generated from property operations will be used
     to fund Partnership expenses and supplement reserves.  Distributions to
     partners will not resume until the Partnership retires the $3,400,000
     recourse note obligation.

        The Partnership is in the process of refinancing the debt for Stewarts
     Glen III with the existing lender.  The maturity date will be extended from
     February 1995 to April 1996 and the interest rate will be lowered to 8.5%. 
     The cost of the refinance is expected to be immaterial.  The Partnership's
     current strategy assumes a sale in early 1996 at debt maturity.  Current
     strategies for the remaining properties include sales in the 1996 to 1998
     time frame.


     Results of Operations

        Rental income decreased for the three and nine months ended September
     30, 1994 as compared with the same periods of 1993.  Rental rate increases
     implemented in 1993 and 1994 at Stonebridge increased rental income for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, while decreased average
     occupancy at Promenades Plaza decreased rental income for the applicable
     periods.  In addition, rental income at Promenades decreased for the three
     months ended September 30, 1994, as compared with the same period of 1993,
     due to the sale on September 21, 1994.

        Other income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, as
     compared with the same period of 1993, due to the Partnership recording
     1992 additional common area maintenance, tax and insurance expense charges
     to tenants at Promenades Plaza during 1993.  Promenades recorded
     approximately $20,000 of income in the first quarter of 1993 for additional
     1992 expense billings to the tenants.  Other income increased for the three
     months ended September 30, 1994, as compared to the same period of 1993 due
     to closing adjustments for the tax recapture to be received by the

     purchaser of Promenades from the tenants.  The purchaser is obligated to
     remit the Partnership's share after the first of the year.  In addition,
     estimates for 1993 recapture were lowered during the third quarter of 1993.


        The increase in interest income for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1994, as compared with the same periods of 1993, was the
     result of interest earned on trust accounts associated with Waterford's
     bond refinancing.

        Property operating expenses increased at Stonebridge for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1994, as compared with the same periods of
     1993, due to increased carpet replacements.  Expense savings at Versailles
     due to prior year third quarter containing expenditures for a painting
     project more than offset the current year increase at Stonebridge for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994.

        The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1994, as compared with the same periods of
     1993, was the result of the absence of non-recurring legal fees recorded in
     the second and third quarters of 1993 at Promenades.

        The provision for doubtful accounts was the result of collectibility
     problems at Promenades Plaza.

        Mortgage litigation fees incurred in 1993 were related to the resolution
     of Waterford's second mortgage litigation.

        The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1994 as compared with 1993, was the result of an increase in
     the interest rate to 18% on the first mortgage for Promenades due to the
     June 1, 1994 default.  In addition, a low effective interest rate in 1993
     on Waterford's variable rate bond financing contributed to the decrease. 
     The variable rate bond financing was replaced with similar fixed rate bond
     financing in December 1993.  Offsetting a portion of the increase was
     savings from the lower rates on the Promenades Stonebridge promissory notes
     refinanced during the first quarter of 1994.  In addition, the Versailles
     Village first mortgage refinance was achieved on March 30, 1994, lowering
     the interest rate from 10% to 8%.

        The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 1994, as compared with the same periods of 1993,
     was the result of the permanent impairment loss for Promenades in the
     fourth quarter of 1993.  The increase was partially offset by the write-off
     of the unamortized leasing commissions relating to vacated tenants at
     Promenades for the three months ended March 31, 1994.
