          CONNECTICUT GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (a Connecticut limited partnership)

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

     Except for historical information provided in this Management's  Discussion
and Analysis,  statements made in this document are  forward-looking and contain
information about financial  results,  economic  conditions,  trends,  and known
uncertainties.  The  Partnership  cautions the reader that actual  results could
differ materially from those expected by the Partnership.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  $656,213 in cash and cash
equivalents  which  was  available  for  working  capital   requirements,   cash
distributions,  and the  Partnership's  cash  reserves.  For the  three and nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  generated  $124,000  and
$384,000,  respectively,  of adjusted cash from  operations  after debt service,
capital  improvements,  and  adjustments  to the  Partnership's  cash  reserves.
Year-to-date   operations  are  in  line  with  the  1998  operating  plan.  The
Partnership  expects  capital  expenditures to be 11% below those planned at the
start of the year. The Partnership  paid the first quarter 1998  distribution of
$130,494 or $5.25 per Unit on May 15, 1998 and the Partnership's  second quarter
1998 cash  distribution  of $125,274 or $5.04 per Unit on August 15,  1998.  The
Partnership  will pay the third  quarter  distribution  of $123,037 or $4.95 per
Unit on November 15, 1998. The distributions  represent the respective quarter's
adjusted  cash  from  operations.  The  Partnership  plans  to  distribute  cash
quarterly to the extent cash is available  from  operations  after debt service,
capital, and changes to cash reserves for liabilities and capital  expenditures,
until the sale of the  Partnership's  remaining two properties.  The Partnership
plans to market Waterford  Apartments for sale in the fourth quarter of 1998 and
Versailles  Village in the first quarter of 1999.  Current plans assume the sale
of the  apartment  projects  in the  first  half of 1999.  Once the  Partnership
completes  the  sales of the two  remaining  properties,  the  Partnership  will
distribute the net sales proceeds to the limited  partners as part of a complete
liquidation and Partnership termination.

Results of Operations

     Decreases  were  reflected  in the  statement  of  operations,  except  for
depreciation  and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 1998, as
the result of the sale of  Stonebridge  Manor  Apartments  in October  1997.  In
accordance  with SFAS No. 121,  assets held for sale are no longer  depreciated,
and therefore, because Stonebridge Manor Apartments was held for sale as of July
1997,  depreciation  was not recorded for the three months ended  September  30,
1997.

     The Partnership's results reflect the following changes relative to the two
remaining properties. At Waterford Apartments,  rental income increased 6.3% for
the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  as compared with the same
periods in 1997, due to an increase in rental rates.  An increase in water usage
and higher payroll costs  partially  offset the increase in revenue,  netting an
increase in property  net  operating  income of 4% for the three months and 7.5%
for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998. At  Versailles  Village,  strong
occupancy in the first and second  quarters of 1998 and an increase in rates led
to higher rental revenue for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998. A slight
decrease in  occupancy  offset the  increase in rates  resulting  in flat rental
revenue at Versailles Village for the third quarter.  Property operating expense
increased at  Versailles  Village for the three and nine months ended  September
30,  1998,  as  compared  with the same  periods in 1997,  due to an increase in
carpet,  paint and cleaning  expense.  In addition,  payroll costs  (general and
administrative  expense)  were  higher at  Versailles  Village due to a staffing
vacancy in 1997. As a result of net revenue and expense increases,  property net
operating  income  decreased  3% for the three months and 1% for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998,  as  compared  with  the  same  periods  in 1997 at
Versailles Village.

     Fees and  reimbursements  to affiliates  decreased because of a drop in the
property management fees (resulting from the sale of Stonebridge  Manor),  lower
partnership  management fees as a result of less cash available for distribution
(resulting  from  the  sale of  Stonebridge  Manor),  and a  savings  in 1998 on
printing costs.
