                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements.

         Consolidated  Balance Sheets - June 30, 1996  (unaudited)  and December
         31, 1995
         Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  - Three Months and Six Months

         and  1995  (unaudited)
         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

         (1) Liquidity

         As of June 30,  1996,  Registrant  had cash of  $5,070.  Such funds are
expected to be used to pay liabilities of Registrant,  and to fund cash deficits
of the  properties.  Cash  generated  from  operations is used primarily to fund
operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient, the
Registrant will attempt to negotiate loan modifications with the various lenders
in order to remain  current on all  obligations.  The Registrant is not aware of
any additional sources of liquidity.

         As of June  30,  1996,  Registrant  had  restricted  cash  of  $124,271
consisting  primarily of funds held as security deposits,  replacement  reserves
and escrows for taxes and insurance.  As a consequence of the restrictions as to
use, Registrant does not deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.

         In  recent  years  the  Registrant  has  realized  significant  losses,
including the foreclosure of one property,  due to the properties'  inability to
generate  sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt service.
At the  present  time,  with the  exception  of the  Magazine  Place,  where the
Registrant  does not receive any of the  distributable  cash, the Registrant has
feasible loan modifications in place. However, in all three cases, the mortgages
are basically "cash-flow" mortgages,  requiring all available cash after payment
of operating expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder.  Therefore, it is
unlikely  that any cash will be available to the  Registrant  to pay its general
and administrative  expenses.  See Accountant's Report with respect to financial
statements  included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

         It is the  Registrant's  intention  to continue to hold the  properties
until they can no longer meet the debt service  requirements  and the properties
are foreclosed, or the market value of the properties increases to a point where
they  can be sold  at a price  which  is  sufficient  to  repay  the  underlying
indebtedness (principal plus accrued interest).

                                      -2-

         (2) Capital Resources

         Due to the relatively  recent  rehabilitations  of the properties,  any
capital  expenditures needed are generally  replacement items and are funded out
of cash from operations or replacement  reserves,  if any. The Registrant is not
aware of any factors which would cause historical  capital  expenditures  levels
not to be indicative of capital  requirements in the future and accordingly does
not believe that it will have to commit material resources to capital investment
in the foreseeable future. If the need for capital  expenditures does arise, the
first  mortgage  holder for Lincoln  Court and 18th and Green has agreed to fund
capital  expenditures  at terms  similar to the first  mortgage.  The  mortgagee
funded $37,292 during the second quarter of 1996 at Lincoln Court.

         (3) Results of Operations

         During the second  quarter of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a net loss of
$247,966  ($17.56  per  limited  partnership  unit)  compared  to a net  loss of
$406,637 ($28.79 per limited  partnership unit) for the same period in 1995. For
the first six months of 1996,  the  Registrant  incurred a net loss of  $470,627
($33.33 per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss of $884,782 ($62.65
per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

         Rental income decreased  $73,060 from $382,774 in the second quarter of
1995 to $309,714 in the same period in 1996 and decreased $128,009 from $777,758
for the first six months of 1995 to  $649,749  in the same  period in 1996.  The
decrease  from the second  quarter  and the first six months of 1995 to the same
periods in 1996 is the result of the  foreclosure of Cathedral  Court in January
1996  partially  offset by an  increase  in rental  income due to an increase in
average  occupancy  (75% to 88%) at Lincoln  Court and an  increase at the Loewy
Building due to higher average rental rates.

         Expense for rental operations  decreased by $3,947 from $193,933 in the
second  quarter of 1995 to $189,986 in the same period in 1996 and  decreased by
$70,401  from  $446,422 for the first six months of 1995 to $376,021 in the same
period in 1996. The decrease from the second quarter and the first six months of
1995 to the same  periods  in 1996 is mainly the  result of the  foreclosure  of
Cathedral Court partially offset by an increase in maintenance,  commissions and
management fee expense.  Maintenance  expense increased due to improvements made
at Lincoln Court in order to attract more tenants. Commissions expense increased
due to  commissions  paid on a lease  extension at the Loewy  Building  with the
tenant who leases 34% of the building.  Management fee expense  increased due to
higher  rental  income at the  Loewy  Building.  In  addition,  management  fees
increased  at Lincoln  Court for the first six months of 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995 due to higher rental income.

         Interest  expense  decreased  by $139,309  from  $367,084 in the second
quarter of 1995 to $227,775 in the same  period in 1996 and  decreased  $299,533
from $751,363 for the first six months of 1995 to $451,830 in the same period in
1996.  The decrease for the three and six months periods is mainly the result of
the foreclosure of Cathedral  Court  partially  offset by an increase at Lincoln
Court due to a higher  average  balance of the mortgage due to advances  made by
the mortgage holder.

                                      -3-

         Depreciation and amortization  expense  decreased $86,739 from $204,450
in the  second  quarter  of 1995 to  $117,711  in the  same  period  in 1996 and
decreased $175,478 from $410,900 for the first six months of 1995 to $235,422 in
the same  period in 1996.  The  decrease  is the  result of the  foreclosure  of
Cathedral Court.

         Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter at the  Registrant's  properties
amounted to $210,000,  compared to a loss of approximately $406,000 for the same
period in 1995.  For the first six  months of 1996 the  Registrant's  properties
recognized a loss of $383,000  compared to  approximately  $769,000 for the same
period in 1995.

         In the second quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $93,000 at
Lincoln Court including $35,000 of depreciation  expense,  compared to a loss of
$102,000  in the second  quarter  of 1995,  including  $35,000  of  depreciation
expense.  The  decrease in the loss from the second  quarter of 1995 to the same
period in 1996 is the result of an increase in rental  income due to an increase
in average  occupancy (75% to 88%) partially offset by an increase in management
fees and interest  expense.  Management  fees increased due to the higher rental
income and interest  expense  increased due to a higher  average  balance of the
mortgage due to advances for the improvements made by the mortgage holder.

         For the  first  six  months  of  1996,  Registrant  incurred  a loss of
$163,000 at Lincoln Court including $69,000 of depreciation expense, compared to
a  loss  of  $158,000  for  the  same  period  in  1995,  including  $69,000  of
depreciation expense. The increase in the loss from the first six months of 1995
to the same period in 1996 is the result of increases in maintenance, management
fee  expense  and  interest  expense  partially  offset by an increase in rental
income due to an increase in average occupancy (75% to 88%). Maintenance expense
increased  due to  improvements  made at the  property in order to attract  more
tenants.  Management fees increased due to the higher rental income and interest
expense  increased  due to a  higher  average  balance  of the  mortgage  due to
advances for the improvements made by the mortgage holder.

         In the second quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $31,000 at
the Green Street Apartments, including $14,000 of depreciation expense, compared
to a loss of $35,000  including  $14,000 of  depreciation  expense in the second
quarter of 1995.  The decrease in the loss is the result of an overall  decrease
in operating expenses due to operational efficiencies achieved at the property.

         For the first six months of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $79,000
at the Green  Street  Apartments  including  $29,000  of  depreciation  expense,
compared to a loss of $79,000 for the same period in 1995,  including $29,000 of
depreciation  expense.  The  Registrant  expects  the  results in the  following
quarters to be similar to those experienced in the first six months of 1996.

                                      -4-

         In the second quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $86,000 at
the Loewy Building,  including  $65,000 of depreciation  expense,  compared to a
loss of $73,000 including $65,000 of depreciation  expense in the second quarter
of 1995.  The  increased  loss is the result of an increase in  commissions  and
management fee expense  partially  offset by an increase in rental income due to
higher average rental rates.  Management fee expense increased due to the higher
rental income and commission expense increased due to a lease extension with the
tenant who leases 34% of the building.

         For the  first  six  months  of  1996,  Registrant  incurred  a loss of
$141,000  at the Loewy  Building  including  $130,000 of  depreciation  expense,
compared to a loss of $154,000 for the same period in 1995,  including  $130,000
of depreciation expense. The decreased loss from the first six months of 1995 to
the same  period in 1996 is the result of an  increase  in rental  income due to
higher average rental rates  partially  offset by an increase in commissions and
management  fee expense.  Management  fees expense  increased  due to the higher
rental income and commission expense increased due to a lease extension with the
tenant who leases 34% of the building.

         In the  second  quarter  of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of $0 at
Cathedral Court compared to a loss of $196,000 including $84,000 of depreciation
expense  in the  second  quarter  of 1995 and for the first six  months of 1996,
Registrant  incurred  a loss  of $0 at  Cathedral  Court  compared  to a loss of
$378,000  for the  same  period  in 1995,  including  $167,000  of  depreciation
expense.  The  decrease  in the loss from the second  quarter  and the first six
months of 1995 to the same  periods in 1996 is due to the fact that the property
was  foreclosed  by the lender in January  1996.  The  Registrant  wrote off the
property as of December 31, 1995.

         Summary of Minority Interests

         In the second  quarter of 1996,  the  Registrant  recognized  income of
$8,935 at Magazine  Place  compared to income of $7,446 in the second quarter of
in 1995.  For the first six months of 1996 the Registrant  recognized  income of
$5,249  compared to income of $8,855 for the same period in 1995. The Registrant
accounts for this  investment on the equity method.  The decrease in income from
the first six months of 1995 to the same  period in 1996 is due to a decrease in
the average occupancy which resulted in a decrease in rental income.

Investors III (the  "Registrant")  and related notes have been prepared pursuant

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         In January  1990,  Cathedral  Court  General  Partnership  ("CCGP"),  a
partnership  which  owned  the  Cathedral  Court  property,  and  in  which  the
Registrant  held a 99% interest,  filed a  reorganization  petition  pursuant to
Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  Although a plan of reorganization  was
filed, it was not approved.  Pursuant to a settlement agreement reached with the
first  mortgage  holder on July 31,  1993 the  bankruptcy  was  dismissed.  CCGP
anticipated that, subsequent to the bankruptcy's  dismissal,  the first mortgage
holder would attempt to sell the loan, but that the Registrant  would be given a
right of first refusal.  In September 1994, the first mortgage holder petitioned
the  Circuit  Court for the City of  Baltimore  in the matter of  Harrington  v.
Cathedral Court General  Partnership,  Case No.  89340045/CE  106281,  to have a
receiver appointed,  and such petition was granted.  Pursuant to the appointment
of the receiver,  CCGP was directed to deliver  immediate  possession of any and
all property connected with and used in the current operation of the property to
the receiver and on January 22, 1996 the lender foreclosed on the property.  The
Registrant wrote off the property as of December 31, 1995.

         No matter was submitted  during the quarter covered by this report to a
