                                     PART I

1.   BUSINESS

     TPI Land  Development  III  Limited  Partnership  is a limited  partnership
     formed during 1986 under the laws of the State of Arizona.  The Partnership
     reached  impound  on May  27,  1986.  The  offering  period  for  TPI  Land
     Development  III  Limited   Partnership  ended  December  31,  1987,  after
     receiving and accepting $9,939,500 or 19,879 units from limited partners.

     In 1999, the main sources of revenue for the  Partnership  were transfer of
     ownership fees of $3,560,  rents  received of $10,100,  interest of $46,100
     earned on money market accounts, and land sales as described in Note 2.

     On December 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  had  $321,840.19 in cash and money
     market accounts. This cash is to be retained as operating reserves and will
     be  distributed  to  the  partners  with  the  final  distribution  of  the
     Partnership. The Partnership has brought all past due operating liabilities
     current, including property taxes due.

     No properties were purchased  during 1999. The vacant land located south of
     Pecos Road and west of Arizona  Avenue in Chandler,  AZ, (Lot 2, Section 4,
     Township 2 South, Range 5 East of the Gila and Salt River Base and Meridan,
     Maricpa County,  Arizona,  approximately  13 acres) was sold on February 3,
     1999, for $588,586.50. An easement for slope purposes, (within that part of

     G&SRB&M, lying within the parcel of land located at the Northeast corner of
     Baseline Road and 32nd Street in Phoenix,  AZ,  approximately 15,260 square
     feet) was sold for  $35,000 on May 25,  1999.  A portion of the vacant land
     located in Phoenix,  AZ,  (Northeast  quarter of the  Northwest  quarter of
     Section 26, Township 3 North,  Range 1 East of the Gila and Salt River Base
     and Meridian,  Maricopy County, Arizona,  approximately 90,000 square feet)
     was sold for $180,000 on August 11, 1999.

3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The  Partnership  filed for Chapter 11  Bankruptcy  protection  on July 14,
     1995. Herve J.R. Tessier and TPI Asset Management, Inc. resigned as General
     Partners of TPI Land  Development III Limited  Partnership on May 24, 1996,
     with the  selection of the  Investors  Recovery  Goup,  LLC to serve as the
     replacement.

     Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code,  dated August 31, 1999 with the United
     States Bankruptcy Court in and for the District of Arizona, and received an
