NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pursuant to Rule 10-01(a)(5) of Regulation S-X (17 CFR Part 210)
RAL Yield + Equities III Limited Partnership is omitting its
footnote disclosure. The Registrant has presumed that users of the
interim financial information have read or have access to the
audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Copies
of the audited statements will be furnished upon request. The
disclosure is being omitted since it substantially duplicates the
disclosure contained in the most recent annual report to security
holders, Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. No
events have occurred (other than those discussed in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations) subsequent to the end of the most recent
fiscal year which would have a material impact on RAL Yield +
Equities III Limited Partnership.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements
presented herein reflect all adjustments necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
I-6
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RAL YIELD + EQUITIES III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") is
a Wisconsin Limited Partnership formed on April 29, 1985, under the
Wisconsin Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership
was organized to acquire new and existing income-producing propert-
ies. Currently held properties consist primarily of restaurants
(including land and building) leased on a "triple net"lease basis
(i.e. for the tenant to pay for maintenance, repairs, real estate
taxes and insurance) to chain restaurants, including Hardee's,
Pizza Hut, and Wendy's. The Partnership also owns and operates
three mobile home communities located in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The Partnership's offering of limited partnership interests to the
public pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 raised $13,725,000,
in which the above-described properties, in addition to the
properties which have been sold as mentioned below, were purchased
for cash. During 1993 four of the commercial properties and one of
the mobile home communities were sold. In 1994 an additional
commercial property was sold. During the second quarter of 1996
one mobile home park and a warehouse building were sold.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Properties acquired by the Partnership are generally intended to be
held from seven to ten years. During the Properties' holding
periods, the investment strategy is to maintain (on the "triple net
lease" restaurant properties) and improve (on the mobile home
parks) occupancy rates through the application of professional
property management (including selective capital improvements).
The Partnership also accumulates working capital reserves for
normal repairs, replacements, working capital, and contingencies.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months
ended March 31 was $114,401 in 1997 and $163,883 in 1996,
primarily from earnings and depreciation (amortization).
The 30.2% reduction in actual cash flow from 1996 to 1997 is
primarily a result of the loss of income from the two properties
that were sold. Cash flow from the warehouse that was sold has
resulted in a reduction of $50,000 along with about $3,000 from the
sale of the mobile home park.
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash of approximately
$350,000 representing undistributed cash flow, working capital
reserves, and tenant's security deposits. Current liabilities
amounted to approximately $143,000.
The Partnership operates a Rocky Rococo restaurant in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. The restaurant contributed $25,587 to cash flow in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $26,794 in the first quarter of
1996. As sales continue to increase at this restaurant, it should
continue to be a large contributor to overall partnership cash
flow.
I-7
Results of Operations:
Gross rental revenues for the three months ended March 31 were
$187,422 in 1997 versus $247,532 in 1996. Operating expenses,
excluding restaurant operations, from rental properties
for the three months ended March 31 were $86,531 in 1997 and
$92,696 in 1996. The decrease in gross rental revenues and
operating expenses is primarily due to the sale of the warehouse
and mobile home park in 1996.
Net Income for the three months ended March 31 was $79,436 in 1997
and $120,857 in 1996.
The restaurant property on Howell Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
opened as a Rocky Rococo's in the fourth quarter of 1994. Revenues
of $148,211 generated $18,762 of net income for the partnership
during the first quarter of 1997 compared to revenues of $140,431
and net income of $19,522 for the first quarter of 1996.

The following is a listing of the approximate average physical
occupancy rates for the Partnership's mobile home parks during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and calendar year 1996:

</TABLE>
I-8
Inflation:
Due to the comparatively low level of inflation since the
Partnership commenced operations, the effect of inflation on the
Partnership has not been material to date. Should the rate of
inflation increase substantially over the life of the Partnership,
it is likely to influence ongoing operations, in particular, the
operating expenses of the Partnership. Most of the commercial
leases contain clauses permitting pass-through of certain increased
operating costs. Residential leases are typically of one year or
less in duration; this allows the Partnership to react quickly
(through rental increases) to changes in the level of inflation.
These factors should serve to reduce, to a certain degree, any
impact of rising costs on the Partnership.
