                                     PART I
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     The   registrant,   Connecticut   General  Realty   Investors  III  Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on April 12, 1984, under the Uniform
Limited  Partnership  Act of the State of  Connecticut  to  invest in  primarily
residential  and, to a lesser extent,  commercial  real  properties.  On July 2,
1984, the Partnership  commenced an offering of $25,000,000 (subject to increase
up to $50,000,000) of Limited Partnership  Interests (the "Units") at $1,000 per
Unit, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act
of 1933 (Registration No. 2-90944).

     The General  Partner of the  Partnership is CIGNA Realty  Resources,  Inc.-
Fifth (the "General  Partner"),  which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
CIGNA Corporation  ("CIGNA"),  a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded
on the New York Stock Exchange.

     A total of 24,856  Units  was sold to the  public  prior to the  offering's
termination  on July 1, 1986.  The holders of 6,480  Units were  admitted to the
Partnership  in  1984;  the  holders  of  11,519  Units  were  admitted  to  the
Partnership in 1985;  the holders of the remaining  6,857 Units were admitted to
the Partnership in 1986.  From the 24,856 Units sold, the  Partnership  received
net proceeds of  $22,408,052.  The holders of Units ("Unit  Holders" or "Limited
Partners") of the Partnership  will share in the ownership of the  Partnership's
real property investments  according to the number of Units held.  Subsequent to
admittance to the  Partnership,  no Unit Holder has made any additional  capital
contribution.  The  Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate
investment.  A  presentation  of  information  about  industry  segments  is not
applicable.

     The  Partnership is engaged in passive  activities and therefore  investors
are  subject to the  applicable  provisions  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code and
Regulations.   Losses  from  "passive  activities"  (which  include  any  rental
activity) may only offset income from "passive  activities".  Investors' passive
losses in excess of  passive  income  from all  sources  are  suspended  and are
carried over to future years when they may be deducted  against  passive  income
generated by the Partnership in such year (including gain recognized on the sale
of the Partnership's assets) or against passive income derived by investors from
other  sources.   Any  suspended  losses  remaining  subsequent  to  Partnership
dissolution may be used by investors to offset ordinary income.

     The  Partnership  acquired  four  residential  complexes  located  in Ohio,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Illinois and one shopping center located in Florida. In
order to acquire these properties, the Partnership invested $16,372,438 in cash,
took or assumed  $35,684,061  in mortgages,  incurred  $3,673,982 in acquisition
fees and  expenses,  established  reserves  for  improvements  of  $720,000  and
established working capital reserves of $1,242,800.

     Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  is required to
terminate on or before December 31, 2017. The Partnership anticipated that prior
to its termination and dissolution,  some or all of the Partnership's properties
would be sold, the retention or sale of any property dependent,  in part, on the
anticipated remaining economic benefits of continued ownership.  It was expected
that most sales would occur after a period of ownership  extending  from five to
ten years. The Partnership sold the Florida shopping center,  Promenades  Plaza,
on September 22, 1994.  The  Partnership  is expecting to complete a sale of its
Illinois  apartment  complex in April 1996. The  Partnership  estimates that the
remainder of the  Partnership's  properties  will be sold during the next two to
three years. Upon the sale of a particular property,  the net proceeds,  if any,
are  generally  distributed,  reinvested  in  existing  properties,  or  held in
Partnership   cash  reserves  rather  than  invested  in  acquiring   additional
properties.

     In December 1993, the Partnership refinanced the first and second mortgages
encumbering the Waterford Apartments property.  The first mortgage,  funded with
multifamily  housing  revenue  bonds  issued by the Tulsa  County  Home  Finance
Authority,  and the second mortgage were replaced with a new first mortgage. The
replacement  financing  was also funded with newly  issued  multifamily  housing
revenue  bonds  issued  by  the  Tulsa  County  Home  Finance  Authority.  As  a
requirement of the new financing, the Waterford property had to be classified as
single asset ownership.  Since the Partnership owns multiple  properties,  a new
partnership was created to house the Waterford  property as its sole real estate
asset. Waterford Partnership, a general partnership, was organized in the

                                        3

<PAGE>



State of Connecticut with the Partnership as its managing general partner (99.9%
interest) and the General Partner (0.1% interest) as the other general  partner.
The interest of the General  Partner in the new partnership is held in trust for
the benefit of The Tulsa Corporation,  a newly organized  Delaware  corporation,
the stock of which is 100% owned by the Partnership.  The Tulsa  Corporation was
created  with the sole  purpose  of acting  as the  beneficiary  of the  General
Partner's ownership interest in the Waterford Partnership. The new structure has
no economic  effect on the Partners nor does it require any changes in financial
reporting for the Partnership.

(d)  In July 1987,  the  Partnership  acquired a 33%  interest  in the Phase III
     Apartment  Venture,  a joint  venture with the General  Partner,  which was
     established as a temporary  vehicle for providing the Partnership  with the
     means to acquire the property without finalized mortgage arrangements, and,
     thereby,  avoid being in default under the terms of the purchase agreement.
     On December 10, 1987 the  Partnership  received a commitment  for permanent
     mortgage  financing which was acceptable to CIGNA Realty  Resources,  Inc.-
     Fifth.  At that time,  in  accordance  with the terms of the joint  venture
     agreement,   the  General  Partner  exercised  its  right  to  require  the
     Partnership  to purchase  General  Partner's  entire  interest in the joint
     venture.   Funding  of  the  purchase  took  place  in  January  1988.  The
     information  shown  represents  the  Partnership's  100%  ownership  of the
     property.

     Versailles  Village  Apartments  is located in Forest Park,  Ohio,  part of
Hamilton County in the northwest section of Greater Cincinnati, approximately 14
miles outside  downtown.  The unemployment rate for Greater  Cincinnati  remains
lower than the national  average and employment  growth  continues to outperform
the nation.  A stable,  diverse local economy keeps the Greater  Cincinnati area
from  experiencing   dramatic  fluctuations  in  job  figures.  The  region  has
experienced expansion in the retail and service sectors while losing some of its
traditionally  higher paying  manufacturing base. The Greater Cincinnati economy
is expected to remain stable with incremental  improvements.  The City of Forest
Park is 35 to 40 years old with a population  of  approximately  21,000.  Forest
Park is an integrated  and  diversified  middle class  community with an average
household income of $46,000. Since 1990, average household income and the median
price of a home rose 22% and 17%,  respectively.  The northwest apartment market
contains  approximately  12,000 units, with 250 to 300 units added to the market
in 1994 and 1995. The Versailles Village submarket contains  approximately 2,600
units of direct and secondary  competitors.  Although the property's competition
is mostly  newer,  Versailles  Village  competes well with similar Class C and B
properties  in  the  submarket.  Versailles  Village  is  well  maintained  with
competitive rents and emphasizes  tenant service.  The property offers amenities
similar to the  competition  but has much larger  floor  plans.  The  property's
ability to achieve rate increases depends primarily on the general trends of the
market.  The  market  for  apartments  in  Greater  Cincinnati  appears  to have
stabilized, and rental rates at Versailles are planned to increase 2.2% in 1996.

     Waterford  Apartments is located in South Tulsa,  Oklahoma.  Employment and
personal  income in Tulsa have continued to grow ahead of the national  average,
with expansion in the services and government sectors accounting for much of the
growth. While expanding,  Tulsa's growth is at a slower pace than other regional
cities,  although Tulsa is beginning to attract interest as a region with strong
potential.  Unemployment is down over the last year, per capita income is higher
than the  national  average  and the cost of living is lower  than the  national
average.  Multifamily  construction had been at a virtual  standstill since 1990
until 1994 when 288 units came into the market in  anticipation  of an increased
demand.  There are approximately  18,400 units in the southeast  submarket where
Waterford is located. Approximately 600 new units are expected to come online in
1996.  Occupancy  in the market was 92% for 1995.  During the year,  Waterford's
occupancy  averaged  94%, up from 90% in 1994.  Waterford  is located  only five
miles  outside  the central  business  district  in a  well-maintained,  vintage
neighborhood.  The property is a Class "A" luxury apartment complex and holds an
advantage over the Tulsa luxury apartment  market due to its superior  location.
While  the size of its units  are  somewhat  smaller  than the  competition,  it
compensates with mature  landscaping,  a variety of amenities and a focus on the
upkeep  of the  units.  Updates  were made in 1995 to many of the  common  areas
including  a  renovation  to the club  house,  models,  and pool area as well as
landscaping  and structural  maintenance  throughout the property.  Rents at the
property  during  1995  averaged  $435 per month  versus  $382 per month for the
market.  The property not only  competes  with other  luxury  apartments  in the
market,  but with single family home  purchases as well since  monthly  mortgage
payments are  comparable to apartment rents. Rents at the property are scheduled
to increase slowly at 2.4% in 1996.

     Stonebridge  Manor  Apartments  is located in the  Parish of  Jefferson  in
Gretna, Louisiana.  Gretna is located just south of the Mississippi River across
from  New  Orleans  in an area  known as the  Westbank.  Linked  to the  Central
Business  District  by two  bridges,  the  Westbank  supports  the  majority  of
commercial  and  industrial  activity.  Jefferson  Parish  enjoys a  diversified
employment base which supports many industries including retail, wholesale trade
and tourism.  The gaming  industry in Jefferson has proved very  profitable with
the two major casinos  providing  approximately  $180,000,000 in revenues during
1995. Multifamily  construction levels remained low, with only 65 permits issued
in 1995. The Stonebridge  submarket  remains stable with no new construction and
slow  increases  in occupancy  and rental  rates.  Based on current  conditions,
occupancy should remain  essentially  unchanged and rental rates should continue
to grow  moderately.  Physical  occupancy at  Stonebridge  averaged 97% for 1995
while the market was 95%. The property was also able to exceed market with rents
averaging  $514 per  month  versus  $436 in the  market.  The  property  is well
positioned  within its  submarket  of  approximately  5,000  units.  Stonebridge
benefits from an excellent location near the airport and major highway arteries,
with  easy  access  to  downtown  New  Orleans  via the two  connector  bridges.
Competition  stems  mainly  from a  switch  to home  ownership  where a  typical
mortgage can approximate monthly rent.

     Stewart's  Glen III is the third  phase (104 units) of a three  phase,  488
unit Class "A" apartment complex,  located in Willowbrook,  Illinois, a township
in Dupage County.  Dupage County has seen rapid population and employment growth
over the last six years and this trend is expected  to  continue.  The  county's
unemployment  percentage  for 1995 was 3.7%,  the same as in 1994 and one of the
lowest  in the  state.  The  median  income  of  Willowbrook,  an  affluent  and
professional  township,  is $57,000,  one of the highest in the state.  The five
mile radius  encompassing  Stewart's  Glen  contains  the majority of its direct
competitors,  defined as the  submarket.  The submarket  contains  approximately
3,600 units.  Stewart's Glen has a strategic advantage because of its convenient
location and access to major routes.  Due to the extremely  strong rental market
in the Dupage County,  several new multifamily  properties,  approximately 1,500
units, are either under  construction or expected to begin construction in 1996.
Although most are not located in the submarket and do not compete  directly with
Stewart's  Glen,  the interest in the area  supports  the  positive  outlook for
Dupage County. For Stewart's Glen to maintain its market position,  the property
is  continuing  to  renovate  and  upgrade  common  areas  such as  landscaping,
clubhouse,  hallways and laundry rooms,  as the new  construction  projects will
have  expanded  amenities  such as  attached  garages,  washer and dryers in the
units,  gated  entrances and alarms.  Lower interest rates continue to make home
ownership in the County an  attractive  alternative  to renting and  represented
competition for Stewart's Glen in 1995. Rents at the property  averaged $786 per
month, ahead of the market average.  The occupancy average at Stewart's Glen was
95% in 1995,  down from the prior year but  slightly  ahead of the  market.  The
property  is  expected  to be sold in the first  quarter of 1996,  prior to debt
maturity,  capitalizing on the current strong  investor  interest in the Chicago
area.

     Approximate  occupancy  levels for the properties on a quarterly  basis are
set forth in the table in Item 2.

     The Partnership itself has no employees; however, the unaffiliated property
managers  engaged by CIGNA  Investments,  Inc.  ("CII",  formerly  CIGNA Capital
Advisers,  Inc.) on behalf of the  Partnership  maintain  on-site  staff.  For a
description  of  asset  management  services  provided  by CII and the  terms of
transactions  between the Partnership and affiliates of the General Partner, see
Item 13 and the Notes to Financial Statements.

     The following list details gross  revenues from  operations for each of the
Partnership's  investment  properties as a percentage of the Partnership's total
gross  revenues  during 1993,  1994,  and 1995.  In each year,  interest  income
accounted for the balance of gross revenues from operations.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Neither the  Partnership  nor its properties are party to or the subject of
any legal proceedings involving any material exposure.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters were  submitted to a vote of security  holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

     As of  December  31,  1995,  there were  approximately  1,199  record  Unit
Holders.  There is no established  public trading market for Units.  The General
Partner will not redeem or repurchase the Units.

     The Revenue Act of 1987 contains provisions which have an adverse impact on
investors in a "publicly  traded  partnership"  ("PTP").  A PTP is a partnership
whose  interests  are  traded on an  established  securities  market or  readily
tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial  equivalent thereof).  If the
Partnership  were  classified  as a PTP, (i) the  Partnership  may be taxed as a
corporation  and (ii) the  passive  activity  rules of section  469 are  applied
separately   with  respect  to  items   attributable  to  each  publicly  traded
partnership.  On November 29, 1995, the Internal  Revenue Service ("IRS") issued
the Final PTP Regulations under section 1.7704-1.  The Final PTP Regulations are
effective  for the tax years  beginning  after  December  31, 1995.  However,  a
transition rule exists for partnerships  that were engaged in an activity before
December 4, 1995 and that do not add a  substantial  new line of business  after
that date. The Partnership qualifies for the transition rule and may continue to
rely on Notice 88-75 for guidance  through the end of 2005. In Notice 88-75, the
IRS established  alternative  safe harbors that allow interests in a partnership
to be  transferred  or redeemed  in certain  circumstances  without  causing the
partnership  to be  characterized  as a PTP.  Units of the  Partnership  are not
listed or quoted for trading on an  established  securities  exchange.  However,
CIGNA Financial  Partners ("CFP") will, upon request,  provide a Limited Partner
desiring to sell or transfer  Units with a list of secondary  market firms which
may provide a means for  matching  potential  sellers with  potential  buyers of
Units, if any.  Frequent sales of Units utilizing these services could cause the
Partnership to be deemed a PTP. The Partnership has adopted a policy prohibiting
transfers of Units in secondary market transactions unless, notwithstanding such
transfers,  the  Partnership  will  satisfy  at least  one of the safe  harbors.
Although such a restriction could impair the ability of an investor to liquidate
its  investment,  the service  provided by CFP  described  above  should allow a
certain number of transfers to be made in compliance with the safe harbor.

     The Partnership made no cash distributions to its Partners in 1995 or 1994.
The Partnership  suspended quarterly  distributions to Partners as of the fourth
quarter  of 1988 to enable it to fund  operating  deficits  from  certain of its
properties.  Reference  is made  to the  Notes  to  Financial  Statements  for a
description  of  payments  to the State of  Connecticut  on  behalf  of  limited
partners that were charged to Limited Partner capital accounts.

     There are no material legal restrictions upon the Partnership's  ability to
make  distributions  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Partnership
Agreement.  The  Partnership  intends  to renew its  policy of making  quarterly
distributions  of  distributable  cash from operations once the Partnership cash
reserves  exclusive of working capital  reserves have sufficient funds to retire
the Partnership's $3,400,000 recourse promissory note.

(subject to an  increase up to  $50,000,000)  of limited  partnership  interests
pursuant to a  Registration  Statement on Form S-11 under the  Securities Act of
1933.  The offering  terminated on July 1, 1986 and a total of 24,856 Units were
issued by the  Partnership  and  assigned to the public at $1,000 per  interest.
Subsequent  to the  termination  of the  offering,  no Unit  Holder has made any
additional  capital  contribution.  The  Partnership  does  not  expect  to seek
additional capital contributions.

     After  deduction  of  selling   expenses  and  other  offering  costs,  the
Partnership had $22,408,052  with which to make  investments in real properties,
to pay legal fees and other costs (including  acquisition  fees) related to such
investments for working capital reserves and for capital expenditure reserves. A
portion of the proceeds was utilized to acquire the properties described in Item
1 herein.

     At December 31,  1995,  the  Partnership  had  $2,481,123  in cash and cash
equivalents  available for working capital  requirements  and  Partnership  cash
reserves.  The  source of  capital  for both  short-term  and  long-term  future
liquidity  and  distributions  is expected to be through  cash  generated by the
investment  properties  and from the sale of such  properties.  During 1995, the
Partnership's four wholly owned apartment  investment  properties  generated net
operating  income of  $3,310,000  and, in addition,  the  Partnership  level net
income was  $38,000 for a total of  $3,348,000  available  for debt  service and
capital  expenditures.  For 1995,  cash flow from  operations of the Partnership
netted to $663,000  after debt  service of  $2,472,000,  inclusive  of refinance
costs for the  Stonebridge  Manor  mortgage debt,  and capital  improvements  of
$213,000. The 1995 net cash flow from operations were added to the Partnership's
cash reserves.

     The Partnership's  property  operational  forecasts for 1996 have estimated
stable net operating  income with  considerable  increases in capital  spending.
Stonebridge  Manor  will be  increasing  capital  expenditures  from  $70,000 to
$300,000 due to a roof replacement  project.  Based on the property  operational
forecasts,  the Partnership  anticipates that 1996 property net operating income
will be sufficient to cover planned 1996 capital improvements,  debt service and
Partnership expenses.

     The  Partnership's  mortgage  obligations  are  nonrecourse.  As such,  the
mortgage  note  holders can only look to the  property  pledged as security  for
repayment of the related  indebtedness.  During the period from December 1993 to
March  1995,  the  Partnership  refinanced  each  property's  mortgage  loan  in
anticipation of debt maturities and a Partnership liquidation strategy. Based on
current  property   operations  and  operational   forecasts,   the  Partnership
anticipates  that  proceeds  from  the  sales  of the  Partnership's  investment
properties  will be sufficient to satisfy the Partnership  nonrecourse  mortgage
obligations.  As a result of a $2,500,000 expansion project at the Partnership's
shopping center  property,  Promenades  Plaza,  and a 1990 refinance of the then
outstanding  mortgage on Stonebridge Manor Apartments,  the Partnership arranged
$3,400,000  of  unsecured  borrowings.  The  recourse  promissory  note has been
guaranteed  by an  affiliate  of the  General  Partner  for an  annual  fee.  On
September 22, 1994, the Partnership  sold Promenades  Plaza and after payment of
the first mortgage and funding of the property's  1994 operating  deficits,  the
Partnership  netted  approximately  $78,000 from the sale. The  Partnership  was
unable to repay the portion of the  unsecured  borrowings  related to Promenades
Plaza from the sale of the property.  The  Partnership  currently plans to repay
the  $3,400,000  promissory  note in 1996 from the net proceeds of a sale of the
Stewart's Glen III apartments,  together with funds from the Partnership's  cash
reserves. The sale of the Stewart's Glen III apartments is discussed herein.

     On  March  31,  1995,  the  Partnership   completed  a  refinance  for  the
Stonebridge  Manor mortgage debt with Hibernia National Bank. The new loan is in
the principal  amount of $5,300,000 at an interest rate of 10.15% with a term of
three years and monthly  payments of principal  and  interest  based upon twenty
year  amortization.  Prepayment is closed for the first year,  open at 1% during
the second year and open  without  penalty  during the third year.  The new loan
amount  approximated  the  principal  balance  of the loan  which  it  replaced.
Origination fees and closing costs

totalled  approximately  $105,000  which was paid from 1995 operating cash flow.
The Partnership plans to sell Stonebridge Manor to repay the mortgage obligation
prior to debt maturity. Based on current projections,  cash will be available to
distribute to Unit Holders upon the sale of Stonebridge Manor after repayment of
the outstanding mortgage obligation.

     In November 1994, the  Partnership  obtained a modification of the maturity
date and interest rate on the mortgage debt for Stewart's Glen III. The maturity
date was extended  from  February  1995 to April 1996 and the interest  rate was
lowered to 8.5%.  The cost of the  modifications  was minimal.  The  Partnership
marketed  the  property  for sale  beginning  in the fourth  quarter of 1995 and
several  offers have been  received.  A purchase  and sale  agreement  is in the
process of negotiation and a sale is expected to be completed by April 1996. The
Stewart's  Glen III  mortgage  lender  has agreed to extend  the  mortgage  note
maturity date, at no cost, to July 1, 1996 to allow the  Partnership to complete
a sale. Based on an estimated gross selling price of  approximately  $7,900,000,
the Partnership expects to net approximately  $2,900,000 after closing costs and
repayment of the mortgage debt. The  Partnership  will record a gain on the sale
for both book and tax  purposes.  The  Partnership  will  utilize  the net sales
proceeds and approximately $500,000 of cash reserves to retire the Partnership's
$3,400,000 recourse promissory note.

     On March 30,  1994,  the  Partnership  refinanced  the  Versailles  Village
mortgage loan with the existing 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 is assumable  with  approval and payment of a 1% transfer  fee. The loan is
pre-payable over the term of the loan at the greater of yield maintenance,  tied
to treasuries, or 1% of the outstanding loan balance. The net refinance proceeds
of  $138,505  was  added to the  Partnership's  reserves.  The  Partnership  has
estimated a sale of the Versailles  Village property in approximately two years,
possibly subject to the assumable  financing.  Based on the current projections,
cash will be available to distribute to Unit Holders from the property sale.

     The  Waterford  property's  first  mortgage  and  purchase  money note were
refinanced on December 17, 1993 with  $11,755,000  in  industrial  revenue bonds
issued by the Tulsa County Home  Finance  Authority  and credit  enhanced by AXA
Reassurance,  SA. The new  financing is similar to the bond  financing  which it
replaced  and was issued by the same county  housing  authority.  The bond issue
consists of  $11,355,000  of tax exempt  bonds  (Series A Bonds) which mature on
December 1, 2018,  and $400,000 in taxable  bonds  (Series B Bonds) which mature
December  1, 1998.  The  interest  rates on both  series are fixed at 5.355% and
5.9455%  (inclusive of Trustee fees and  administrative  costs) for the Series A
and Series B bonds,  respectively.  The AXA insurance policy expires on December
1, 2004, however, the Partnership is required to obtain a new credit enhancer by
December  1,  2003.  The bonds can be prepaid in 2001 at 102% and at par in 2002
and thereafter.

     In  order  to  facilitate  the  low-interest  bond  backed  financing,  the
Partnership set up a new ownership structure for the property, with no financial
statement  impact  on  the  Partnership.  Reference  is  made  to  Item  1 for a
description.

     The Series A issue has been designed with a cash collateral  account rather
than a sinking fund. Upon closing, a $100,000  contribution was made to the cash
collateral  account   representing  a  quasi  debt  service  reserve.  The  cash
collateral account was created to meet lender guidelines which required that 10%
of the bond issue be  amortized  by the end of the ten year  credit  enhancement
period.  By utilizing a cash  collateral  account,  the  Partnership  is able to
retain the full amount of the tax-exempt bond issue which may increase the value
of a premium if the property is sold prior to the bonds maturity.  Contributions
to the cash collateral account are scheduled to begin on December 1, 1998.

     Under the new bond  structure,  interest only payments of $52,541 were made
monthly to the  trustee to service  the  semi-annual  payments  due on the bonds
until  December 1995 when principal  payments  began on the Series B bonds.  The
$400,000 principal will fully amortize,  based on a schedule of bond maturities,
by December 1998.

     The  Partnership's  liquidation  strategy  includes a sale of the Waterford
property  late in 1998  prior to  required  contributions  to the  Series A cash
collateral  account.  Based on current  estimates,  a sale inclusive of the bond
financing  in late  1998  will  provide  net cash  flow to the  Partnership  for
distribution to Unit Holders.

                                       11

     As a result of a general downturn in the economy and especially real estate
markets during the latter part of the 1980's and early 1990's,  the  Partnership
has held its investment  properties longer than originally  anticipated in order
to  maximize  the  recovery  of its  investments  and any  potential  for return
thereon.  The economy has improved and real estate markets have begun to recover
in most  regions.  The  Partnership  has  entered the  liquidation  phase of the
Partnership  which includes  completing  sales of the  investment  properties by
1998.  Based on the current  position of the  Partnership,  it appears  that the
Partnership's  objective of capital appreciation will not be achieved.  Although
the  Partnership  expects to distribute from the sales proceeds a portion of the
Unit Holders' original capital, the return will be significantly less than their
original investment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Partnership  net operating  income (total  revenue less property  operating
expenses,  general  and  administrative  expenses,  fees and  reimbursements  to
affiliates and provision for doubtful accounts) was approximately $3,348,000 for
1995, a decrease from approximately $3,631,000 in 1994.

     Net operating  income at  Promenades  Plaza was  approximately  $506,000 in
1994. The property was sold on September 22, 1994.

     Versailles Village net operating income increased  approximately $53,000 in
1995 compared with 1994. The main  contributors to the increase were rental rate
increases and lower utility  expenses.  In addition,  a nonrecurring real estate
tax consulting fee was incurred in 1994.

     Stonebridge Manor net operating income increased  approximately  $73,000 in
1995 from  1994,  generally  as a result of an  increase  in rental  rates.  The
increase in income was partially offset by an increase in payroll.

     Increased  revenue  at  Waterford  Apartments  was  partially  offset by an
increase  in  landscaping  expenses,   payroll  and  advertising  expenses.  Net
operating income increased approximately $48,000 in 1995 over 1994.

     At Stewart's Glen, increases in nonroutine maintenance and payroll expenses
were  partially  offset by an  increase  in rental  income from a modest rise in
rental rates. Net operating  income  decreased by approximately  $67,000 in 1995
from 1994.

     The balance of the change in the  Partnership's  1995 net operating  income
compared with 1994 resulted from an increase in interest  income earned on short
term  investments  and  on  trust  accounts  associated  with  Waterford's  bond
financing.  In addition,  the  Partnership  collected  approximately  $40,000 of
percentage  rents in 1995 in excess of the recorded 1994 receivable from tenants
of Promenades Plaza.

RESULTS - 1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

     Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts are the result of the
Promenades  Plaza sale on September  22, 1994.  For the year ended  December 31,
1994,  Promenades Plaza accounted for  approximately  $804,000 of rental income,
$117,000 of other income,  $303,000 of property operating  expenses,  $87,000 of
general and administrative expenses, $25,000 of provision for doubtful accounts,
$538,000 of interest expense and $250,000 of depreciation and amortization.

     Rental income increased  approximately $218,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995,  as compared  with 1994.  Stonebridge  Manor rental  income  increased
approximately   $96,000  and   Versailles   Village   rental  income   increased
approximately  $34,000  for the  year as a  result  of  rental  rate  increases.
Stewart's  Glen's  rental  rate  increases  offset a nominal  decline in average
occupancy  producing a net increase in rental income of  approximately  $26,000.
Rental income increased $62,000 at Waterford Apartments due to weak occupancy in
the fourth quarter of 1994.



                                       12

<PAGE>



     The  increase in other  income for the year ended  December  31,  1995,  as
compared with 1994, resulted from collecting  approximately $40,000 in excess of
the 1994 receivable  relating to 1994 expense recapture and percentage rent from
tenants at Promenades Plaza.

     The increase in interest  income for the year ended  December 31, 1995,  as
compared  with 1994,  was the result of an increase  in interest  rates on short
term  investments  combined  with higher  average  cash  balances.  In addition,
Waterford  earned higher rates on the trust  accounts  associated  with its bond
related financing.

     Overall,  property operating expenses increased for the year ended December
31, 1995, as compared with 1994, due to a rise in insurance costs at each of the
properties. In addition,  Waterford incurred nonroutine maintenance expenditures
for extensive landscaping work and Stewart's Glen completed an exterior staining
project and a greater number of carpet replacements.  Stonebridge incurred costs
for  dryer  vent  replacements  and  fireplace  cleaning.   Increased  costs  at
Stonebridge  were  partially  offset by fewer  carpet  replacements  and  higher
utility reimbursements from corporate tenants.  Expenses decreased at Versailles
as a result of a nonrecurring  real estate tax consulting fee in 1994 as well as
a drop in utility usage in 1995 due to the milder winter and a repair of a water
leak.

     The  increase  in general  and  administrative  expense  for the year ended
December 31, 1995,  as compared with 1994,  was the result of increased  payroll
related  costs at  Waterford,  Stonebridge  and  Stewart's  Glen.  In  addition,
advertising  costs  were  increased  at  Waterford  in  an  effort  to  increase
occupancy.

     The decrease in interest  expense for the year ended  December 31, 1995, as
compared  with  1994,  was the result of the  November  1, 1994  Stewart's  Glen
refinance  which  decreased the interest rate from 9.94% to 8.55%.  In addition,
the March 30, 1994  Versailles  Village  first  mortgage  refinance  lowered the
interest rate from 10% to 8%.

     The increase in depreciation  and  amortization for the year ended December
31,  1995,  as  compared  with 1994,  was  primarily  the  result of  amortizing
financing costs of the April 1, 1995 Stonebridge Manor first mortgage refinance.


RESULTS - 1994 COMPARED WITH 1993

     Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts are the result of the
sale of Promenades  Plaza on September 22, 1994. For the fourth quarter of 1993,
Promenades Plaza accounted for approximately  $258,000 of rental income, $47,000
of other income, $99,000 of property operating expenses,  $45,000 of general and
administrative   expenses,   $143,000  of  interest   expense  and  $123,000  of
depreciation and amortization.

     Excluding  the loss of fourth  quarter 1994 rental  income from the sale of
Promenades  Plaza,  rental income increased  approximately  $23,000 for the year
ended  December  31,  1994,  as  compared  with  1993.   Rental  rate  increases
implemented  in 1993 and  1994 at  Stonebridge  Manor  increased  rental  income
approximately  $80,000 for the year ended  December 31, 1994,  as compared  with
1993.  Decreased  average occupancy at Promenades Plaza for the six months ended
June 30, 1994, as compared  with the same period of 1993,  coupled with the loss
of rental income from the sale date through September 30, 1994, decreased rental
income approximately  $92,000 for the applicable periods.  Rental rate increases
in 1994 at Versailles Village and Stewart's Glen, coupled with a slight increase
in average occupancy at Versailles,  resulted in increased rental income at each
property for 1994 of approximately  $23,000 and $16,000  respectively.  A slight
decrease in average occupancy at Waterford for 1994 resulted in an approximately
$4,000 decrease in rental income compared with 1993.

     The increase in interest  income for the year ended  December 31, 1994,  as
compared  with  1993,  was the  result  of  interest  earned  on trust  accounts
associated with Waterford's bond financing.

     Property  operating  expenses  increased at Stonebridge  for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as compared with 1993,  due to a greater number of carpet and
tile replacements and an exterior painting project. At Waterford

                                       13

<PAGE>



Apartments,  property operating expenses increased as a result of higher utility
and  insurance  costs  and  parking  lot  repairs.  Expense  savings  in 1994 at
Versailles due to a 1993 painting  project,  partially offset the 1994 increases
at Stonebridge and Waterford.

     The  decrease  in general  and  administrative  expense  for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as compared with 1993,  was the result of payroll  savings in
1994 at Waterford and Stewart's Glen due to staffing  changes and the absence of
non-recurring  legal fees  recorded in the second and third  quarters of 1993 at
Promenades.   The  decrease  was  partially  offset  by  increased   advertising
expenditures at Waterford in 1994.

     The   provision   for  doubtful   accounts  was  primarily  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 year ended  December 31, 1994, as
compared  with  1993,  was the  result  of a  default  rate of  interest  on the
Promenades first mortgage between the June 1, 1994 default and the September 22,
1994  property  sale.  In addition,  a low  effective  interest  rate in 1993 on
Waterford's variable rate bond financing versus 1994's fixed rate bond financing
contributed to the increase.  Offsetting a portion of the increase were: savings
from  the  lower  rates  on the  Promenades  and  Stonebridge  promissory  notes
refinanced  during  the first  quarter of 1994;  the  Versailles  Village  first
mortgage  March 30, 1994  refinance,  lowering the interest rate from 10% to 8%;
and the Stewart's Glen November 1, 1994 refinance,  decreasing the interest rate
from 9.94% to 8.55%.

     The decrease in depreciation  and  amortization for the year ended December
31,  1994,  as compared  with 1993,  was the result of the  impairment  loss for
Promenades  and the  amortization  of the  surety  fee  related  to  Waterford's
variable  rate bond  financing in the fourth  quarter of 1993.  The decrease was
partially  offset  by the  write-off  of  the  unamortized  leasing  commissions
relating to vacated tenants at Promenades.

     The 1994 gain on sale of property was the result of the sale at  Promenades
Plaza in September  1994. The 1993 gain on sale of property was the result of an
outparcel sale at Promenades Plaza in January 1993.


INFLATION

     With  inflation  at a low rate during  1995,  1994 and 1993,  the effect of
inflation and changing  prices on current revenue and income from operations has
been minimal.

     Any  significant  inflation in future periods is likely to increase  rental
rates (from  leases to new  tenants or  renewals of leases to existing  tenants)
assuming  no  major  changes  in  market  conditions.  At the same  time,  it is
anticipated  that  property  operating  expenses  will  be  similarly  affected.
Assuming no major  changes in occupancy  levels,  increases in rental income are
expected  to cover  inflation  driven  increases  in the cost of  operating  the
properties  and  in  property  taxes.  Inflation  may  also  result  in  capital
appreciation of the Partnership's investment properties over a period of time as
rental rates and replacement costs of properties increase.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
 Connecticut General Realty Investors III
 Limited Partnership

In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  listed in the  accompanying  index
present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of Connecticut
General Realty Investors III Limited  Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended  December 31, 1995, in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's  management;  our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these

require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about
whether the financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

          CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The general  partner of Connecticut  General  Realty  Investors III Limited
Partnership (the  "Partnership")  is CIGNA Realty  Resources,  Inc. - Fifth (the
"General Partner"),  an indirect,  wholly owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation.
The  Partnership is a Connecticut  limited  partnership  which owns and operates
four residential complexes located in Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Illinois.

     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.

     In December 1993, the Partnership refinanced the first and second mortgages
encumbering the Waterford Apartments property.  The first mortgage,  funded with
multifamily  housing  revenue  bonds  issued by the Tulsa  County  Home  Finance
Authority,  and the second mortgage were replaced with a new first mortgage. The
replacement  financing  was also funded with newly  issued  multifamily  housing
revenue  bonds  issued  by  the  Tulsa  County  Home  Finance  Authority.  As  a
requirement of the new financing, the Waterford property had to be classified as
single asset ownership.  Since the Partnership owns multiple  properties,  a new
partnership  was  created  for the  Waterford  property  as its sole real estate
asset. Waterford Partnership, a general partnership,  was organized in the State
of  Connecticut  with the  Partnership  as its managing  general  partner (99.9%
interest) and the General Partner (0.1% interest) as the other general  partner.
The interest of the General  Partner in the new partnership is held in trust for
the benefit of The Tulsa Corporation,  a newly organized  Delaware  corporation,
the stock of which is 100% owned by the Partnership.  The Tulsa  Corporation was
created  with the sole  purpose  of acting  as the  beneficiary  of the  General
Partner's ownership interest in Waterford Partnership.  The new structure has no
economic  effect on the  Partners  nor does it require any changes in  financial
reporting for the Partnership.

     The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
for  financial  reporting  purposes  and are  adjusted  for  federal  income tax
reporting.  The net effects of the adjustments as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993,  principally  relating to the  accounting  for  property  impairment,  and
differences in depreciation methods, are summarized as follows:

     reporting.
</TABLE>

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A)   PROPERTY AND  IMPROVEMENTS:  Property and  improvements are carried at cost
     less  accumulated  depreciation.  The cost represents the initial  purchase
     price and subsequent  capitalized costs and adjustments,  including certain
     acquisition  expenses and impairment  losses.  Depreciation of property and
     improvements  is  calculated  on  the  straight-line  method  based  on the
     estimated  useful  lives  of  the  various  components  (5  to  30  years).
     Maintenance  and repair  expenses  are charged to  operations  as incurred.
     Amounts  received  under the guarantee  agreements  from the sellers of the
     Waterford Apartments, Stonebridge Manor and Stewart's Glen Apartments Phase
     III were treated as a reduction of property purchase price.

As   a result of inherent  changes in market values of real estate  property and
     improvements,  the Partnership reviews potential impairment  annually.  The
     undiscounted  future  cash  flow for each  property,  as  estimated  by the
     Partnership,  is compared to the net book value.  If the carrying  value is
     greater than the sum of the estimated future  undiscounted  cash flows, and
     deemed other than temporary,  an impairment loss is recorded.  In 1995, the
     Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
     Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of" (the  "Statement").
     Under the  Statement,  entities  should  continue to compare the sum of the
     expected  undiscounted  future net cash flows to the carrying  value of the
     asset. If an impairment exists, the Statement requires a write-down to fair
     value.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of, including real estate held for
     sale,  must be  carried  at the lower of cost or fair  value  less costs to
     sell.  In addition,  the  Statement  prohibits  depreciation  of long-lived
     assets to be disposed.  The  Partnership  will adopt this  Statement in the
     first  quarter  of 1996;  and the  effect on the  Partnership's  results of
     operations,  liquidity  and  financial  condition  is  not  expected  to be
     material.

B)   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Short-term investments with a maturity of three
     months  or less at the time of  purchase  are  generally  reported  as cash
     equivalents.

C)   ESCROW DEPOSITS AND ESCROWED DEBT SERVICE FUNDS:  Escrow deposits generally
     consist of funds held to pay property taxes and insurance,  required by the
     first mortgage lenders for the  Partnership's  properties,  and maintenance
     escrows,  required by the Stonebridge Manor and Waterford mortgage lenders.
     Escrow  deposits  also  include a utility  deposit for  Stonebridge  Manor.
     Escrowed  debt service funds relate to Waterford and include a debt service
     reserve and cash collateral reserve.

D)   OTHER ASSET:  The  Partnership's  investment  in The Tulsa  Corporation  is
     reported as other asset.  In 1994,  a standby  cash deposit  related to the
     debt  refinancing of Stewart's Glen Apartments was reported as other asset.
     The cash deposit was returned to the Partnership in January 1995.

E)   DEFERRED  CHARGES:  Deferred charges consist of costs incurred in obtaining
     financing for certain of the  Partnership's  properties which are amortized
     over the lives of the respective loans.

F)   PARTNERS' CAPITAL:  Offering costs comprised of sales commissions and other
     issuance expenses have been

     charged to the partners' capital accounts as incurred.

G)   INCOME TAXES:  No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability
     for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the Partnership.

H)   BASIS OF  PRESENTATION:  Certain  amounts  in the  1994 and 1993  financial
     statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

3.   INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

     The  Partnership  purchased  four  apartment  complexes  located  in  Ohio,
Oklahoma,  Louisiana and Illinois and one shopping center located in Florida. At
December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned four residential  properties which were
operating  with leases in effect  generally  for a term of one year or less.  At
December 31, 1995, the Partnership was holding the Illinois property,  Stewart's
Glen, for sale. The  Partnership  plans to sell Stewart's Glen prior to its debt
maturity date of July 1, 1996. On September 22, 1994, the Partnership completed
the sale of the shopping center. Each investment property is pledged as security
for its respective non-recourse long-term debt.

     On January 27, 1993,  the  Partnership  sold an outparcel at the Promenades
Plaza  Shopping  Center with a net book value of  $376,083  for a sales price of
$500,000, netting the Partnership $452,500 after commission and closing costs.
The Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of $76,417 in 1993.

     In 1993, the General Partner  determined  that the  Partnership  would sell
Promenades  Plaza. The General Partner  expected that the net proceeds  realized
from a sale would be significantly  less than the carrying value of the property
and accordingly, the Partnership recorded a loss of $5,000,000 due to impairment
of assets as of December  31,  1993.  On September  22,  1994,  the  Partnership
completed  the sale of Promenades  Plaza for a gross sales price of  $6,572,000.
The property had a carrying  value of $6,239,957  (net of  impairment  losses of
$5,000,000  in 1993 and  $700,000 in 1991).  After  deducting  closing  costs of
$307,206, the Partnership recorded a gain of $24,837.

4.   DEFERRED CHARGES

     Deferred charges at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consist of the following:

5.   LEASES

     The  Promenades  Plaza  Shopping  Center,  sold on September 22, 1994,  was
leased under leases which were  accounted for as operating  leases and had lease
terms ranging from less than one year to nine years.

     Certain of the commercial leases provided for additional rents based upon a
percentage  of tenant  sales  over a  specified  amount.  Amounts  earned by the
Partnership for such rents in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $39,433, $71,669

and $60,505, respectively. Certain of these leases also contained escalation and
expense  recapture  clauses which provided that tenants pay their pro rata share
of any increases in common area maintenance,  taxes and operating expenses over
base period  amounts.  The  Partnership  earned $113,031 in 1994 and $175,060 in
1993 as a result of such provisions.

     The Waterford  property's first mortgage debt was financed with $11,755,000
in industrial  revenue  bonds issued by the Tulsa County Home Finance  Authority
and credit enhanced by AXA Reassurance,  SA. The AXA insurance policy expires on
December  1,  2004.  The bonds can be prepaid in 2001 at 102% and at par in 2002
and  thereafter.  The Series A issue has been  designed  with a cash  collateral
account  rather than a sinking fund.  Upon closing a $100,000  contribution  was
made to the cash collateral  account  representing a quasi debt service reserve.
The cash collateral account was created to meet surety guidelines which required
that  10% of the  bond  issue be  amortized  by the end of the ten  year  credit
enhancement  period.  Contributions to the cash collateral account are scheduled
to begin on December 1, 1998.  Under the new bonds,  interest  only  payments of
$52,541 were made monthly to the trustee to service the semi-annual payments due
on the bonds until December 1995 when  principal  payments began on the series B
bonds.  The $400,000  principal will fully amortize by December 1998, based on a
schedule of bond maturities.

     On March  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  refinanced  the  Stonebridge  Manor
Apartment's  first mortgage note which was scheduled to mature on April 1, 1995.
The new mortgage note is in the amount of $5,300,000  with a term of three years
and  monthly  payments  at  10.15%  interest,  twenty  year  amortization  and a
scheduled  maturity of April 1, 1998.  Prepayment  is closed for the first year,
open at 1% during  the second  year and open  without  penalty  during the third
year.

Five year maturities of long-term debt are summarized as follows:

                           1996                    $     5,149,230

7.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Partnership's  financial  instruments at December 31, 1995. Statements of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  107,  "Disclosures  about  Fair  Value of
Financial Instruments",  defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the
amount at which  the  instrument  could be  exchanged  in a current  transaction
between willing parties.

     The carrying  amounts  shown in the table are included in the balance sheet
under the indicated captions.

     The following  methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:

         Cash,  Accounts  receivable,  Escrow  deposits,  Escrowed  debt service
         funds,  Accounts  payable and  accrued  expenses  and Accrued  interest
         payable:  The carrying  amounts  approximate  fair value because of the
         short maturity of those instruments.

         Notes  and  mortgages  payable:  The fair  value  of the  Partnership's
         long-term  debt is  estimated  based on the  quoted  market  prices for
         similar  issues  or by  discounting  expected  cash  flows at the rates
         currently offered on debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

     $290,347  and  $297,806  for  1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Certain
     property  management  services have been  contracted by an affiliate of the

     In addition, the Partnership's recourse promissory note is guaranteed by an
affiliate  of the  General  Partner  for an annual fee of 2% of the  outstanding
balance.

9.   PARTNERS' CAPITAL

     During 1991, the State of Connecticut  enacted  income tax  legislation,  a
part of which affects partnerships. The portfolio income allocations made by the
Partnership to the limited partners are considered  Connecticut based income and
subject to Connecticut  tax. The  Partnership  has elected to pay the tax due on
the limited partners' share of portfolio income and, therefore,  paid tax due of
$3,672 directly to the State of Connecticut in April 1995 for the 1994 Form CT-G
Connecticut  Group  Income Tax Return.  The  Partnership  also  accrued the 1995
estimated  payment of $6,990 as of December 31, 1995. These amounts were treated
as  reductions  of  partners'  capital  and  reported  as  distributions  in the
accompanying financial statements.


10.   PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      Pursuant to the terms of the  Partnership  Agreement as amended January 1,
1988, net income or loss and cash distributions from operations,  as well as any
net losses arising from the sale or disposition of investment properties, are to
be allocated  1% to the General  Partner and 99% to the Limited  Partners.  Cash
distributions  are  allocated  to  the  Partners  following  the  receipt  by an
affiliate  of the  General  Partner  of a  partnership  management  fee of 9% of
"Adjusted Cash From Operations", as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

      Distributable  cash from the sale or disposition of investment  properties
is to be generally allocated in the following order:

      o  To the Limited Partners up to the amount of their Original Invested
         Capital;

      o  To the  General  Partner,  an  additional  amount  depending  upon  the
         percentage of Gross Proceeds committed to investment in properties;

      o  To the  Limited  Partners  in an  amount,  which  when  added  to prior
         distributions  from operations,  equals an 8% cumulative  noncompounded
         return on their adjusted invested capital;

      o  To an affiliate of the General Partner as a subordinated disposition
         fee; and

      o  With respect to the remainder, 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to
         the General Partner.

      Generally,  income from the sale or disposition of investment  property is
allocated as follows:

      o  To each  Partner  having a deficit  balance  in the same  ratio of such
         balance to the aggregate balance of all Partners;

         Partners.
