PART I

Item 1. Business.
--------
New England Life Pension Properties III; A Real Estate Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized under the Uniform Limited
Partnership Act of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 1, 1984, to
invest primarily in newly constructed and existing income-producing real
properties.
The Partnership was initially capitalized with contributions of $2,000
in the aggregate from Copley Properties Company III, Inc. (the "Managing General
Partner") and ACOP Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General
Partner") (collectively, the "General Partners") and $10,000 from Copley Real
Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Initial Limited Partner"). The Partnership filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the "Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 1984, with respect to a
public offering of 50,000 units of limited partnership interest at a purchase
price of $1,000 per unit (the "Units") with an option to sell up to an
additional 25,000 Units (an aggregate of $75,000,000). The Registration
Statement was declared effective on January 25, 1985.
The first sale of Units occurred on July 15, 1985, at which time the
Initial Limited Partner withdrew its contribution from the Partnership.
Investors were admitted to the Partnership thereafter at monthly closings; the
offering terminated and the last group of initial investors was admitted to the
Partnership on December 19, 1985. A total of 68,414 Units had been sold, a total
of 11,437 investors had been admitted as limited partners (the "Limited
Partners") and a total of $67,748,960 had been contributed to the capital of the
Partnership. The remaining 6,586 Units were de-registered on February 18, 1986.
The Partnership has no employees. Services are performed for the
Partnership by the Managing General Partner and affiliates of the Managing
General Partner.
As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had investments in the three real
property investments described below. Additionally, the Partnership sold six
other real estate investments between 1987 and 1993. The principal terms of
these sales are set forth in the following table:

</TABLE>
In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, the properties are
adequately covered by insurance.
A. Light Industrial Facility in Hayward, California.
------------------------------------------------
The Partnership continues to own a 3.8-acre parcel of land in Hayward,
California, which it acquired in 1985 for $786,130 and leased back to the
seller. Two single-story research and development buildings containing
_______________________
/1/These sale proceeds represent the proceeds received by the Partnership when
two mortgage loans made by the Partnership were paid off and the investment was
liquidated.
<PAGE>
an aggregate of approximately 52,990 square feet of space are situated on the
land. These buildings were 94% occupied as of December 31, 1995.
The Partnership entered into a ground lease with the seller which had
a term of 60 years. On November 15, 1994, the Partnership obtained fee simple
title to this property because the ground lessee defaulted on its obligations.
The Partnership accepted $85,000 as a settlement which released the guarantors
from all of their obligations under the lease guaranty. This payment was applied
to past due rent under the Ground Lease.
B. Research and Development/Office Buildings in Frederick, Maryland.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In August, 1987, the Partnership exercised its option to purchase for
$247,650 an 8.288-acre parcel of land in 270 Technology Park, Frederick,
Maryland. Situated on the land are three single-story research and
development/office buildings containing an aggregate of 86,169 square feet of
space. The Partnership simultaneously leased the land back to the seller for a
term of 60 years. The ground lease provided for a fixed annual rent of $26,003
plus additional rent equal to 50% of gross revenues from the rental of the
buildings in excess of a base amount. Upon exercising its option, the
Partnership also made a non-recourse mortgage loan to the ground lessee of
$5,712,350.
On January 1, 1988, the Partnership converted this investment to a
joint venture in which it has a 50% interest. The Partnership contributed the
land and funds to retire the mortgage debt. In addition, the Partnership
contributed an additional $260,000 of capital. The Partnership is entitled to
receive a 10.5% per annum preferred return on its invested capital payable
currently, and 50% of remaining cash flow and of sale and refinancing proceeds
after return of its equity. The preferred return may accrue if sufficient cash
flow is not available.
As of December 31, 1995, the buildings were 98% leased.
C. Apartment Building in Gaithersburg, Maryland
--------------------------------------------
On April 4, 1988, the Partnership acquired a 65% interest in Bayberry
Associates, a joint venture formed with Christopher B.A. Limited Partnership
(the "Developer"). As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had contributed
$14,575,940 to the capital of the joint venture out of a maximum obligation of
$14,580,000, $9,327,500 of which is characterized as Senior Capital and
$5,252,500 of which is characterized as Junior Capital. The joint venture
agreement entitles the Partnership to receive a senior priority cumulative
return of 10.25% per annum on the outstanding invested Senior Capital and a
junior priority cumulative return of 10.25% per annum on the outstanding
invested Junior Capital; however, $230,000 of Junior Capital is entitled to a
return at the greater of 10.25% per annum or the prime rate of the Maryland
National Bank plus 2% ($225,957 of such amount was contributed as of December
31, 1995). When an aggregate of $982,107 of priority returns has been paid, a
portion of the senior priority return of up to 1.25% per annum may accrue if
sufficient cash is not available therefor, with 9.0% per annum to be paid
currently, and the full amount of the junior priority return equal to 10.25% per
annum may accrue if sufficient cash is not available therefor. The joint venture
agreement also entitles the Partnership to receive 65% of net cash flow and of
refinancing proceeds and sale proceeds following the return of the Partnership's
equity capital and accrued preferential returns.
The joint venture owns approximately 7.14 acres of land in
Gaithersburg, Maryland and has completed development of a 230-unit garden
apartment community. As of December 31, 1995, the apartments were 91% leased.

Following is information regarding the competitive market conditions
for each of the Partnership's properties. This information has been gathered
from sources deemed reliable. However, the Partnership has not independently
verified the information and, as such, cannot guarantee its accuracy or
completeness:
Light Industrial Facility in Hayward, California
- ------------------------------------------------
Within the North Hayward Industrial market there are approximately 22
competitive industrial parks totaling 4.4 million square feet. Within those 22
projects, the light industrial portions of each total approximately 3.2 million
square feet. The approximate vacancy rate in this product type is 8% which is a
significant improvement from the beginning of the year when the vacancy rate was
approximately 15%.
Research and Development/Office Buildings in Frederick, Maryland
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The Frederick R&D market contains approximately 5.5 million square feet of
R&D/Industrial space with a vacancy rate of approximately 9%. This is a
significant decrease from 1994 when the vacancy rate stood at 16%. The decrease
is attributable to a lack of new construction and positive job growth.
Apartment Complex in Gaithersburg, Maryland
- -------------------------------------------
Gaithersburg is located within Montgomery County where the economy is
fundamentally stable, has a strong job base and a high standard of living and
the demand for apartments has historically been relatively stable. The
apartment market remains competitive as significant income growth remains
challenging. The class "A" occupancy rate was 95% as of December 31, 1995 and
is expected to be maintained in the mid-90% range because of limited new
construction.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
-----------------
The Partnership is not a party to, nor are any of its properties
subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.
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 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PART II
-------
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no active market for the Units. Trading in the Units is
sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions.
As of December 31, 1995, there were 11,658 holders of Units.
The Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
dated July 15, 1985, as amended to date (the "Partnership Agreement"), requires
that any Distributable Cash (as defined therein) be distributed quarterly to the
Partners in specified proportions and priorities. There are no restrictions on
the Partnership's present or future ability to make distributions of
Distributable Cash. For the year ended December 31, 1995, cash distributions
paid in 1995 or distributed after year end with respect to 1995 to the Limited
Partners as a group totaled $1,685,720. For the year ended December 31, 1994,
cash distributions paid in 1994 or distributed after year end with respect to
1994 to the Limited Partners as a group totaled $1,477,742. Cash
<PAGE>
distributions exceeded net income in 1995 and, therefore, resulted in a
reduction of partners' capital. Total distributions, however, were less than
total cash generated by operating activities. Reference is made to the
Partnership's Statement of Changes in Partners' Capital (Deficit) and Statement
of Cash Flows in Item 8 hereof.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in December, 1985. A total of 68,414 units were sold. The Partnership
received proceeds of $61,950,285, net of selling commissions and other offering
costs, which were invested in real estate, used to pay related acquisition
costs, or retained as working capital reserves. The Partnership made the real
estate investments described in Item 1 herein, six of which were sold prior to
1995. As a result of the sales, capital of $34,676,320 has been returned to the
Limited Partners through December 31, 1995.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had $3,511,513 in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments, of which $425,687 was distributed to
partners on January 25, 1996; the remainder is being retained as working capital
reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will
be cash generated by the Partnership's investments and proceeds from the sale of
investments. Distributions of cash from operations for the four quarters of 1995
were made at the annualized rate of 5% on the adjusted capital contribution.
Distributions of cash from operations were made at the annualized rate of 3.5%,
4.5%, 4.5% and 5% for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 1994,
respectively. The increase in the distribution rate during 1994 results from the
attainment of appropriate cash reserve levels and the improvement in cash flow
from operations.
On January 28, 1993, the Partnership made a capital distribution of
$170 per limited partnership unit from the proceeds of the Jonathan's Keepe sale
in December 1992. The adjusted capital contribution after this distribution was
$524.14 per unit. On January 27, 1994, the Partnership made a capital
distribution of $31 per limited partnership unit from the proceeds of the
Heritage Green Plaza sale in December 1993. The adjusted capital contribution
after this distribution is $493.14 per unit.
The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial
statements at December 31, 1995 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's
carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted
future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.
The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated
cost of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less
than current appraised value. At December 31, 1995, the appraised value of each
real estate investment exceeded its related carrying value; the aggregate excess
was approximately $5,400,000. The current appraised value of real estate
investments has been estimated by the Managing General Partner and is generally
based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the
Partnership's advisor, Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc., and independent
appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the
estimated current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could
be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the
marketplace.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
FORM OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Effective November 15, 1994, North Cabot Industrial Park (formerly
Marathon/Hayward) was converted to a wholly-owned property; it was previously
structured as a ground lease with a mortgage loan to the ground lessee.
Bayberry Apartments and 270 Technology Center are structured as joint ventures
with real estate management/development firms. Heritage Green Plaza, which was
sold in December 1993, was a wholly-owned property.
<PAGE>
OPERATING FACTORS
Occupancy at North Cabot Industrial Park increased to 94% at December
31, 1995, up from 58% and 65% one and two years prior. Occupancy, however, could
decline over the next year with the expiration of leases on 38% of the currently
occupied space. Despite the recent improvement, the Managing General Partner
does not expect this investment will achieve the Partnership's original
investment objectives.
At December 31, 1995, occupancy at the Bayberry Apartments was 91%.
Occupancy has been in the mid-90% range over the past three years. Market
conditions remain competitive; however, rental rates in the Gaithersburg market
have increased over the past year, as supply and demand are in equilibrium.
Occupancy at 270 Technology Park was 98% at December 31, 1995, up from
95% a year ago and 93% two years ago. The property faces minimal lease
expiration exposure over the next year.
INVESTMENT RESULTS
Significant Transactions and Events
In 1993, the Partnership determined that the mortgage loan secured by
the North Cabot Industrial Park investment was impaired, and recognized a
provision for impaired mortgage loans of $225,000 which was charged to
operations in 1993. When this ground lease/mortgage loan investment was
restructured to a wholly-owned property due to the inability of the ground
lessee/mortgagee to meet its financial obligations, the Partnership received
$85,000 from the principals of the ground lessee in settlement of their payment
guarantees, which is included in ground rentals and interest on mortgage loans
in 1994.
In December 1993, the Partnership sold the Heritage Green Plaza in
Aurora County, Colorado and recognized a gain of $24,302.
In December 1992, the Jonathan's Keepe apartment complex was sold.
During 1993, the Partnership received an additional $119,447 in final settlement
of the Jonathan's Keepe sale. This revenue is included in ground rentals and
interest on mortgage loans in the statement of operations in 1993.
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments increased due
to higher short-term interest rates and larger average investment balances.
Exclusive of the guaranty payment received in 1994, total real estate
operating results were $1,500,132 in 1995 as compared to $1,513,737 in 1994. The
decrease is due to the recognition of depreciation on North Cabot Industrial
Park since its conversion to a wholly-owned property. This additional non-cash
expense, however, was substantially offset by improved operating results at all
three of the Partnership's properties resulting from an increase in rental
income due to an increase in average occupancy.
Exclusive of the guaranty payment in 1994, operating cash flow
increased approximately $200,000 or 11% between 1994 and 1995. The increase is
consistent with the change in operating results before non-cash items, but
primarily stemmed from cash distributions from Bayberry Apartments which
increased approximately $166,000 due to the distribution of amounts which had
been previously retained as working capital reserves.
<PAGE>
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments increased due
to higher short-term interest rates.
Exclusive of the provision for the impaired mortgage loan, the
operating results from Heritage Green Plaza, and the settlement from Jonathan's
Keepe (all of which relate to 1993), and exclusive of the $85,000 guaranty
settlement in 1994, total real estate operating results were $1,513,737 in 1994
as compared to $1,384,105 in 1993. The increase was primarily due to an increase
in net operating income at both Bayberry Apartments ($85,000) and 270 Technology
Park ($50,000). The increase at Bayberry Apartments results from an increase in
rental rates, while the increase at 270 Technology Park results from both an
increase in rental revenue and a decrease in expenses.
Exclusive of the settlement payment from the sale of Jonathan's Keepe
Apartments in 1993 and the guaranty settlement in 1994, operating cash flow
increased approximately $100,000 or 6% between 1993 and 1994. Cash flow from 270
Technology Park increased approximately $460,000, primarily from the
distribution of amounts which had been previously retained as working capital
reserves. This increase was partially offset by the timing of distributions
from Bayberry Apartments.
PORTFOLIO EXPENSES
The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the Managing General Partner. General and administrative expenses
primarily consist of real estate appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and
investor servicing fees.
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
The Partnership management fee increased due to an increase in
distributable cash flow. General and administrative expenses increased by
$20,110 between the respective years. This increase was due to the professional
fees incurred in connection with the restructuring of the North Cabot Industrial
Park investment.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
The Partnership management fee increased due to an increase in
distributable cash flow. General and administrative expenses were practically
unchanged from the prior year.
INFLATION
By their nature, real estate investments tend not to be adversely
affected by inflation. Inflation may result in appreciation in the value of the
Partnership's real estate investments over time if rental rates and replacement
costs increase. Declines in real property values during the period of
Partnership operations, due to market and economic conditions, have overshadowed
the overall positive effect inflation may have on the value of the Partnership's
investments.

To the Partners
NEW ENGLAND LIFE PENSION PROPERTIES III;
A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of New England Life Pension Properties III; A Real Estate Limited
Partnership (the "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 Copley
Properties Company III, Inc., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the Partnership's
joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, which
results of operations are recorded using the equity method of accounting in the
Partnership's financial statements and for which equity in joint venture income
aggregated $1,499,646, $1,480,927 and $1,344,325 for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion
expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the equity
in joint venture income for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, is
based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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 the Managing General Partner, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits and the reports of other auditors for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NEW ENGLAND LIFE PENSION PROPERTIES III;
A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Business
- ----------------------------------
General
New England Life Pension Properties III; A Real Estate Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized
for the purpose of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income-
producing real properties. It primarily serves as an investment for qualified
pension and profit sharing plans and other entities intended to be exempt from
federal income tax. The Partnership commenced operations in July 1985, and
acquired several real estate investments through 1987, and a final investment in
1988 with the proceeds from an earlier sale. It intends to dispose of its
investments within twelve years of their acquisition, and then liquidate;
however, the Managing General Partner could extend the investment period if it
is in the best interest of the limited partners.
The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Copley Properties
Company III, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Copley Real Estate Advisors,
Inc. ("Copley"). The associate general partner is ACOP Associates Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, the general partners of which
are managing directors of Copley and/or officers of the Managing General
Partner. Subject to the Managing General Partner's overall authority, the
business of the Partnership is managed by Copley pursuant to an advisory
contract. Copley is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New England
Investment Companies, L.P. ("NEIC"), a publicly traded limited partnership. New
England Mutual Life Insurance Company ("The New England"), the parent of NEIC's
predecessor, is its principal unitholder. In August 1995, The New England
announced an agreement to merge (the "Merger") with Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company ("Metropolitan Life"), with Metropolitan Life to be the surviving
entity. This merger, which is subject to various policyholder and regulatory
approvals, is expected to take place in the first half of 1996. Metropolitan
Life is the second largest life insurance company in the United States in terms
of total assets, having assets of over $130 billion (and adjusted capital of
over $8 billion) as of June 30, 1995.
At December 31, 1995, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner
owned 631 units and at December 31, 1994 the Managing General Partner owned 582
units of limited partnership interest, which were repurchased from certain
qualified plans within specified annual limitations provided for in the
Partnership Agreement.
Management
Copley, as advisor, is entitled to receive stipulated fees from the
Partnership in consideration of services performed in connection with the
management of the Partnership and the acquisition and disposition of Partnership
investments in real property. Partnership management fees are 9% of
distributable cash flow from operations, as defined, before deducting such fees.
Copley is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with administering
the Partnership ($13,368 in 1995, $12,000 in 1994, and $12,628 in 1993).
Acquisition fees paid were based on 2% of the gross proceeds from the offering.
Disposition fees are generally 3% of the selling price of property, but are
subject to the prior receipt by the limited partners of their capital
contributions plus a stipulated return thereon.
<PAGE>
New England Securities Corporation, a direct subsidiary of The New
England, is engaged by the Partnership to act as its unit holder servicing
agent. Fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such services totaled $15,682,
$25,182, and $17,225 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Managing General Partner to make
estimates affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and of
revenues and expenses. In the Partnership's business, certain estimates require
an assessment of factors not within management's control, such as the ability of
tenants to perform under long-term leases and the ability of the properties to
sustain their occupancies in changing markets. Actual results, therefore, could
differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Joint Ventures
Investments in joint ventures are stated at cost plus (minus) equity
in undistributed joint venture income (losses). Allocations of joint venture
income (losses) were made to the Partnership's venture partners as long as they
had substantial economic equity in the project. Economic equity is measured by
the excess of the appraised value of the property over the Partnership's total
cash investment plus accrued preferential returns thereon. Currently, the
Partnership records an amount equal to 100% of the operating results of each
joint venture, after the elimination of all inter-entity transactions.
Property
Property includes land and buildings and improvements, which are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and other incidental net assets
(liabilities). The Partnership's initial carrying value of a property previously
subject to a ground lease/mortgage loan arrangement equals the Partnership's
carrying value of the predecessor investment on the conversion date.
Certain tenant leases at the properties provide for rental increases
over the respective lease terms. Rental revenue is being recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Capitalized Costs
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Significant
improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the buildings and
improvements. Leasing costs are also capitalized and amortized over the related
lease terms.
Acquisition fees have been capitalized as part of the cost of real
estate investments. Amounts not related to land are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the terms of the mortgage loans or the estimated
useful lives of the property.
<PAGE>
Realizability of Real Estate Investments
The Partnership considers a real estate investment, other than a
mortgage loan, to be impaired when it determines the carrying value of the
investment is not recoverable through undiscounted cash flows generated from the
operations and disposal of the property. Effective January 1, 1995, with its
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121)
entitled, " Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Partnership measures the impairment loss
based on the excess of the investment's carrying value over its estimated fair
market value. For investments being held for sale, the impairment loss is
measured based on the excess of the investment's carrying value over its
estimated fair market value less costs of sale. Property held for sale is not
depreciated during the holding period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121, the
impairment loss was measured based on the excess of the investment's carrying
value over its net realizable value.
Prior to 1993, the Managing General Partner determined that the
carrying value of the Marathon/Hayward investment should be reduced to net
realizable value and reduced the carrying value of this investment accordingly.
The carrying value of an investment may be greater or less than its
current appraised value. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the appraised value of
each of the Partnership's investments exceeded its related carrying value; the
aggregate excess was approximately $5,400,000 and $4,800,000, respectively. The
current appraised value of real estate investments has been estimated by the
Managing General Partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional
appraisal approaches performed by the advisor and independent appraisers.
Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the estimated
current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be
realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace.
Ground Leases and Mortgage Loans
While the related land and loan investments are legally separable, the
terms thereof have been negotiated jointly and the general partners evaluate
investment performance on a combined basis. They are, therefore, presented
together in the accompanying balance sheet and statement of operations.
Investments in land subject to ground leases are stated at cost, plus
accrued revenue on investments which are subject to ownership accounting.
Investments in mortgage loans to the related ground lessees are originally
stated at cost. If the investment is subject to ownership accounting, cost is
adjusted for accrued revenue and an accumulated cost recovery allowance, similar
to depreciation. If the mortgage loan is impaired, the carrying amount is
periodically adjusted to the estimated market value of the underlying collateral
less anticipated costs of sale.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Partnership
will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. Factors considered in determining whether a loan is impaired
include its past due status, fair value of the underlying collateral and
economic prospects of the borrower. Changes in the valuation allowance are
reported in the Statement of Operations, and revenue is recognized only to the
extent of operating cash flow generated by the collateral underlying the loan.
(See Note 5.)
<PAGE>
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash equivalents are stated at cost, plus accrued interest. The
Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents; otherwise, they are
classified as short-term investments.
The Partnership has the positive intent and ability to hold all short-
term investments to maturity; therefore, short-term investments are carried at
cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. At December 31,
1995 and 1994, all investments are in commercial paper with less than seven
months and one month, respectively, remaining to maturity.
Deferred Disposition Fees
According to the terms of the advisory contract, Copley is entitled to
disposition fees related to sales of real estate investments. Payment of these
fees, however, is contingent upon the limited partners' first receiving their
capital, plus stipulated returns thereon. Since inception, the Partnership sold
several investments and had accrued disposition fees of $1,116,984 through
September 30, 1992. In light of the then current value of the Partnership's
remaining investments and the expectations for improvement over the
Partnership's investment horizon, the Managing General Partner determined in
1992 that the likelihood of payment of these fees is remote. Accordingly, the
previously accrued liability was reduced to zero.
Income Taxes
A partnership is not liable for income taxes and, therefore, no
provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the
Partnership. A proportionate share of the Partnership's income is reportable on
each partner's tax return.
Per Unit Computations
Per unit computations are based on the number of units of limited
partnership interest outstanding during the year. The actual per unit amount
will vary by partner depending on the date of admission to, or withdrawal from,
the Partnership.
Note 3 - Real Estate Joint Ventures
- -----------------------------------
The Partnership has invested in two real estate joint ventures which
are organized as general partnerships with a real estate management/development
firm. It made capital contributions to the ventures, which are subject to
preferential cash distributions at a specified rate and to priority
distributions with respect to sale or refinancing proceeds. The joint venture
agreements provide for the funding of cash flow deficits by the venture partners
in proportion to ownership interests, and for the dilution of ownership share in
the event a venture partner does not contribute proportionately.
The Partnership's venture partners are responsible for day-to-day
development and operating activities, although overall authority and
responsibility for the businesses is shared by the venturers. The respective
real estate management/development firms or their affiliates also provide
various services to the joint ventures for a fee.
<PAGE>
270 Technology Center
Effective January 1, 1988, one of the Partnership's ground
lease/mortgage loan investments was converted to a 50% ownership interest in a
joint venture with an affiliate of Manekin Corporation. The venture owns and
operates three research and development/office buildings in Frederick, Maryland.
The Partnership was credited with a capital contribution of $5,960,000, an
amount equal to the cost of the land plus the then outstanding principal on the
mortgage loan. In addition, during 1988, the Partnership contributed cash of
$260,000. The preferential return rate on the capital contributed is 10.50% per
annum. Future minimum rents due to the venture under noncancellable operating
leases are: $798,733 in 1996; $406,886 in 1997; $260,866 in 1998; $183,375 in
1999; and $140,810 in 2000.
Bayberry Apartments
On April 4, 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an
affiliate of Bozzuto and Associates to construct and operate a garden apartment
community in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Partnership has a 65% ownership
interest and committed to a maximum capital contribution of $14,350,000, and a
deficit contribution (characterized as junior capital) of $230,000. The
preferential return rate is 10.25% per annum on the capital contributed and the
greater of the prime rate plus 2% or 10.25% on the deficit contribution. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership had contributed $14,349,983 of its
capital commitment, plus $225,957 as a prorata deficit contribution. Sixty-five
percent of the Partnership's capital contribution is characterized as "senior"
capital. If senior capital is prepaid, the Partnership is entitled to a special
distribution intended to preserve the preferential return yield on senior
capital through the ninth anniversary of the venture.

Note 4 - Property
- -----------------
North Cabot Industrial Park (formerly Marathon/Hayward)
On November 15, 1994, the Partnership restructured this ground lease/mortgage
loan investment into a wholly-owned property, due to the inability of the ground
lessee/mortgagee to meet its financial obligations. The Partnership received
$85,000 in settlement of the guaranty provided by principals of the ground
lessee, which is included in ground rentals and interest on mortgage loans in
1994. The Partnership obtained title to the improvements on the land and to
certain other operating assets in full satisfaction of the related mortgage loan
and obligations under the ground lease and in consideration of the assumption by
the Partnership of certain operating liabilities. The carrying value of the
ground lease/mortgage loan investment as of the date of restructuring was
allocated to land and buildings. See Note 5 for a description of the investment
in ground lease and mortgage loan.
The following is summary of the Partnership's investment in this
property:

$70,685 in 1997; $37,617 in 1998 and $20,321 in 1999.
Heritage Green Plaza
On December 17, 1993, the Partnership sold the Heritage Green Shopping
Center in Aurora County, Colorado. The total sales price was $2,300,000. After
closing costs, the Partnership received proceeds of $2,161,552 and recognized a
gain of $24,302 ($.35 per limited partnership unit); however, the carrying value
had been reduced by, and a loss recognized for, a total of $3,550,000 in
previous years. On January 27, 1994, the Partnership made a capital distribution
to the limited partners in the aggregate amount of $2,120,834 ($31 per limited
partnership unit).
Note 5 - Investment in Ground Lease and Mortgage Loan
- -----------------------------------------------------
Prior to November 15, 1994, the North Cabot Industrial Park investment
was structured as a ground lease/mortgage loan.
In September 1985, the Partnership acquired land in Hayward,
California, for $786,130 and leased it back to the seller. The Partnership also
made a nonrecourse permanent mortgage loan of $2,663,870 to the ground lessee to
finance the two research and development buildings referred to as
Marathon/Hayward. In 1992, the Managing General Partner determined that the
carrying value of the Marathon/Hayward investment should be reduced to net
realizable value. Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $1,500,000. The
carrying value had been previously reduced by $775,000 as a result of an earlier
estimate of recoverability.
With the determination that the loan was impaired as of January 1,
1993, the Partnership recognized revenue to the extent of the operating cash
flow generated by the collateral underlying the loan of $45,858 and $55,029 in
1994 and 1993, respectively. Further, a valuation allowance was established to
adjust the carrying value of the loan to its estimated fair market value. The
carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan at November 15, 1994 was $797,707,
which had been reduced by a valuation allowance of $225,000, charged to
operations in 1993.
Note 6 - Mortgage Loan Investment Sold
- --------------------------------------
The Partnership had an investment in two mortgage loans secured by an
apartment complex referred to as Jonathan's Keepe located in Reston, Virginia.
The property was sold on December 23, 1992 and the entire net proceeds were
received by the Partnership in full satisfaction of its mortgage loans and
accrued interest. On January 28, 1993, the Partnership made a capital
distribution to limited partners in the aggregate amount of $11,630,380 ($170
per limited partnership unit). During 1993, upon final settlement of sale
contingencies, the Partnership received an additional $119,447 which was
classified as interest on mortgage loans.

Note 8 - Partners' Capital
- --------------------------
Allocation of net income (losses) from operations and distributions of
distributable cash from operations, as defined, are in the ratio of 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Cash distributions are made
quarterly.
Net sale proceeds and financing proceeds are allocated first to
limited partners to the extent of their contributed capital plus a stipulated
return thereon, as defined, second to pay disposition fees, and then 85% to the
limited partners and 15% to the general partners. The adjusted capital
contribution per limited partnership unit was reduced from $1,000 to $982.14
during 1987, to $946.14 during 1988, to $796.14 during 1989, to $694.14 during
1992, to $524.14 during 1993, and to $493.14 during 1994 as a result of return
of capital from sale transactions. No capital distributions have been made to
the general partners. Income from a sale is allocated in proportion to the
distribution of related proceeds, provided that the general partners are
allocated at least 1%. Income or losses from a sale, if there are no residual
proceeds after the repayment of the related debt, will be allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partners.
Note 9 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------
Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 were made on January 25, 1996 in the aggregate amount of
$425,687 ($6.16 per limited partnership unit).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
Bayberry Associates
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bayberry Associates as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations,
partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Bayberry Associates as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' equity and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The Partnership was formed as a general partnership under the laws of the
State of Maryland on April 4, 1988, for the purpose of constructing, owning
and operating a rental housing project. The project consists of 230 units
located in Montgomery County, Maryland and is operating as Bayberry
Apartments. All leases between the Partnership and tenants of the property are
operating leases.
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Real Estate
-------------------------
Investment in real estate is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided for in
amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over
their estimated service lives using accelerated methods.
Rental Income
-------------
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial
statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable
by, the partners individually.

NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Fee
--------------
The Partnership is required to pay a management fee to Bozzuto Management
Company, an affiliate of Christopher Bozzuto Limited Partnership, a general
partner, in an amount equal to 3.5% of gross receipts collected. Management
fees of $75,271, $74,700, and $72,186 were expensed in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. At December 31, 1995, $6,238 remains unpaid, while $6,317 was
unpaid as of December 31, 1994.
Expenses Incurred and Reimbursed to Affiliates
----------------------------------------------
The Partnership reimburses payroll and other costs incurred by Bozzuto &
Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries, affiliates of Christopher Bozzuto Limited
Partnership, a general partner, for various administrative and operating costs
relating to the project. During 1995, 1994, and 1993, $229,285, $222,496, and
$176,415 were incurred, respectively. At December 31, 1995, $25,093 remains
unpaid, while $10,887 was unpaid as of December 31, 1994.
NOTE C - PARTNERS' EQUITY
The acquisition and development of the project was funded by capital
contributions from New England Life Pension Properties III (NELP), a general
partner, in the cumulative amount of $14,350,000, which consisted of senior
and junior capital of $9,327,500 and $5,022,500, respectively. The Partnership
agreement provides for both a "Senior and Junior Priority Return," on the
outstanding capital, on a monthly basis, which is calculated at the rate of
10.25% per annum on the outstanding capital. The Priority Returns are payable
monthly from Operating Cash Flow as defined in the Partnership agreement,
however, (a) to the extent the full amount of the Senior Priority Return
cannot be made from such sources on a monthly basis, an amount thereof equal
to a 10.25% per annum cumulative return on the Senior Invested Capital may
accrue, and such accruals shall bear interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum
compounded monthly and (b) to the extent the full amount of the Junior
Priority Return cannot be made from such sources on a monthly basis, the
amount

NOTE C - PARTNERS' EQUITY (Continued)
of the Junior Priority Return may accrue and such accruals shall bear interest
at the rate of 10.25% per annum compounded monthly. To the extent the Senior
Priority Return is required to be paid currently (and may not be accrued), it
will be funded, if necessary, out of the proceeds of Deficit Contributions
and Default Capital Contributions. These Deficit Contributions and Default
Capital Contributions accrue a return (Deficit Preferred Return) equal to the
greater of NationsBank's prime rate plus 2% (10.5% at December 31, 1995) or
10.25% per annum. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, NELP and Christopher
Bozzuto Limited Partnership had made deficit capital contributions in the
amounts of $225,956 and $122,500, respectively.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the accrued Junior Priority Return (including
accrued interest of $658,133 and $377,128, respectively) due totaled
$3,019,186 and $2,549,364, respectively, while the Senior Priority Return due
totaled $ - 0 - and $ - 0 -, respectively. The Senior Priority Return was paid
in full during 1995 and 1994. The accrued Deficit Preferred Return payable to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
We have audited the balance sheet of MORF Associates III (A Maryland General
Partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
income, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of MORF Associates III (A Maryland
General Partnership) as of 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, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
