NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
As of December 31, 1999, Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates III (the
"Partnership" or "Registrant") adopted the liquidation basis of accounting due
to the default of the first mortgage on Shallowford Corners on December 15,
1999, the Partnership's only property at that date. On March 7, 2000, the lender
foreclosed on the property and sold it to an unaffiliated party for $7,650,000.
As a result of the decision to liquidate the Partnership, the Partnership
changed its basis of accounting for its financial statements at December 31,
1999, to the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, assets have been
valued at estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their
estimated settlement amounts. The valuation of assets and liabilities
necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial
uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets
and settlement of liabilities could be higher or lower than amounts indicated
and is based upon the General Partner's estimates as of the date of the
financial statements.
The statement of net assets in liquidation as of March 31 2000, includes
approximately $46,000 of accrued costs, net of income, that the General Partner
estimates will be incurred during the period of liquidation based on the
assumption that the liquidation process will be completed during the third
quarter of 2000. These costs principally include legal and administrative
expenses. Because the success in realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner's best estimates, the
liquidation period may be shorter than projected or it may be extended beyond
the projected period.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and its 90% general partnership interest in DBL Airport Valley Limited
Partnership ("DBLAV") which owned and operated two hotels in Tucson and Green
Valley, Arizona, which were sold during 1999, and its 90% general partnership
interest in Shallowford Associates, Ltd. ("Shallowford"), which owned and
operated a shopping center in Roswell, Georgia, which was foreclosed on by the
Lender on March 7, 2000. All material inter-entity transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the consolidated financial
statements include the accounts and operations of its wholly-owned property,
Perimeter Square Shopping Center ("Perimeter Square"), which is a shopping
center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was sold during 1999.
Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties
The Registrant has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.
The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for
services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership.
The following payments were made to the General Partner and affiliates during
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:
2000 1999
(in thousands)
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
(included in general and administrative
expense in 1999) 16 25
An affiliate of the General Partner received reimbursement of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $16,000 and $25,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At March 31, 2000, the Partnership owed an affiliate of the General Partner
approximately $174,000 for payroll expenses paid by such affiliate on behalf of
the hotel properties.
Included in other liabilities at March 31, 2000, is a $25,000 note payable to
the co-venturer in Shallowford. The note does not have any stipulated terms for
repayment and it accrues interest at 3% above prime. Interest expense on the
note amounted to approximately $1,000 during the three month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999. Total accrued interest payable of approximately $21,000 is
included in other liabilities at March 31, 2000.
AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 7,501 limited partnership units in the
Partnership representing approximately 12.52% of the outstanding units. A number
of these units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its
affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or more
additional offers to acquire additional limited partnership interests in the
Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership of
AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the
Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters. When
voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired in a
manner favorable to the interest of the General Partner because of their
affiliation with the General Partner.
Note C - Distributions to Limited Partners
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership distributed
approximately $2,800,000 ($46.74 per limited partnership unit) to the limited
partners consisting of approximately $1,928,000 ($32.18 per limited partnership
unit) from the sale proceeds of Perimeter Square, the Green Valley Hotel, and
the Tucson Airport Hotel and approximately $872,000 ($14.56 per limited
partnership unit) of cash from operations. There were no distributions declared
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Note D - Discontinued Operations
Best Western Green Valley Hotel and Tucson Airport Hotel were the only hotels
owned by the Partnership and represented one segment of the Partnership's
operations. Due to the sale of these properties, the results of the hotel
segment have been shown as income from discontinued operations. The revenues of
these properties were approximately $2,296,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999. Income from operations was approximately $319,000 for 1999.
Note E - Segment Reporting
Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable
segment derives its revenues:
The Partnership had two reportable segments: commercial and hotel properties.
The Partnership's commercial property segment consisted of two retail shopping
centers, one in Arizona and one in Georgia. The Partnership leased commercial
space to tenants under various lease terms. The shopping center located in
Arizona was sold to an unrelated party during 1999 and the shopping center
located in Georgia was foreclosed by the lender in March 2000. The Partnership's
hotel property segment consisted of two hotels in Arizona. The two hotel
properties held by the Partnership were sold to unrelated parties during 1999.
Therefore, the hotel segment is reflected as discontinued operations (see "Note
D - "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion). Effective December 31,
1999 the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting (see "Note A -
Basis of Presentation"). As a result, segment information is only provided for
the three month period ended March 31, 1999.
Measurement of segment profit or loss:
The Partnership evaluates performance based on segment profit (loss) before
depreciation. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as
those described in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segment:
The Partnership's reportable segments consisted of investment properties that
offered different products and services. The reportable segments were each
managed separately because they provided distinct services with different types
of products and customers.
Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 1999, is shown in the
tables below (in thousands). The "Other" column includes Partnership
administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the
reportable segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking
statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time.
The discussion of the Partnership's business and results of operations,
including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take
into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership's business and
results of operation. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.
As of December 31, 1999 the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of
accounting due to the default of the mortgage at Shallowford Corners on December
15, 1999. On March 7, 2000 the lender foreclosed on the property and sold it to
an unrelated party for $7,650,000. Consequently, assets have been valued at
their estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their
estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying
out the liquidation. The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily
requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties
in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets and settlement
of liabilities could be higher or lower than the amounts indicated and is based
upon the Managing General Partner's estimates as of the date of the financial
statements.
The statement of net assets in liquidation as of March 31 2000, includes
approximately $46,000 of accrued costs, net of income, that the General Partner
estimates will be incurred during the period of liquidation based on the
assumption that the liquidation process will be completed during the third
quarter of 2000. These costs principally include legal and administrative
expenses. Because the success in realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner's best estimates, the
liquidation period may be shorter than projected or it may be extended beyond
the projected period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership distributed
approximately $2,800,000 ($46.74 per limited partnership unit) to the limited
partners consisting of approximately $1,928,000 ($32.18 per limited partnership
unit) from the sale proceeds of Perimeter Square, the Green Valley Hotel, and
the Tucson Airport Hotel and approximately $872,000 ($14.56 per limited
partnership unit) of cash from operations. There were no distributions declared
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
