PART I
Item 1. Business
a. General Development of Business
Diversified Historic Investors III
("Registrant") is a limited partnership formed
in 1986 under Pennsylvania Law. As of December
31, 1999, Registrant had outstanding 13,981.5
units of limited partnership interest (the
"Units").
Registrant is presently in its
operating stage. It originally owned five
properties or interests therein. One property
has been lost through foreclosure. See Item 2.
Properties, for a description thereof. It
currently owns four properties or interests
therein. For a discussion of the operations of
the Registrant, See Part II, Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
b. Financial Information about
Industry Segments
The Registrant operates in one
industry segment.
c. Narrative Description of Business
Registrant is in the business of
operating, holding, selling, exchanging and
otherwise dealing in and with real properties
containing improvements which are "Certified
Historic Structures," as such term is defined
in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), for
use as apartments, offices, hotels and
commercial spaces, or any combination thereof,
or low income housing eligible for the tax
credit provided by Section 42 of the Code, and
such other uses as the Registrant's general
partner may deem appropriate.
Since the Registrant's inception,
all the properties acquired either by the
Registrant, or the subsidiary partnerships in
which it has an interest, have been
rehabilitated and certified as historic
structures and have received the related
investment tax credit. All four properties are
held for rental operations. At this time it is
anticipated that all the properties will
continue to be held for this purpose. At such
time as real property values begin to increase,
the Registrant will re-evaluate its investment
strategy regarding the properties.
As of December 31, 1999,
Registrant owned four properties (or interests
therein), located in Pennsylvania (two),
Louisiana (one), and North Carolina (one).
Three properties are operating as apartment
buildings and one property is operating as a
commercial/office building. In total, the four
properties contain 133 apartment units and
62,091 square feet ("sf") of commercial/retail
space. As of December 31, 1999, 124 of the
apartment units were under lease at monthly
rental rates ranging from $460 to $1,565. In
addition, 24,925 sf of the commercial space was
under lease at annual rates ranging from $6.00
per sf to $13.41 per sf. Rental of the
apartments and commercial space is not expected
to be seasonal. For further discussion of the
properties, see Item 2. Properties.
The Registrant is affected by and
subject to the general competitive conditions
of the residential and commercial real estate
industries. As a result of the overbuilding
that occurred in the 1980's, the competition
for both residential and commercial tenants in
the local markets where the Registrant's
properties are located is generally strong. As
a result, the Registrant is forced to keep its
rent levels competitively low in order to
maintain moderate to high occupancy levels.
Two of the residential properties are located
in Philadelphia, PA and the other is located in
the Warehouse District of New Orleans, LA. The
commercial/office building is located in
Winston-Salem, NC. One of the Philadelphia
properties is located very close to the "city
line," ie. the boundary between Philadelphia
and a neighboring suburb. Many potential
residents would prefer to live on the non-city
side, to avoid paying the city wage tax. The
Registrant attempts to keep its rents at a
level that is low enough to offset the
difference. In all the locations, the
competition for tenants remains stiff and
several similar buildings exist. The apartment
and commercial market remains stable and new
construction remains virtually nonexistent
although the availability of favorable home
financing has placed pressure on the rental
tenant base.
Registrant has no employees.
Registrant's activities are overseen by
Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc.,
("BCMI"), a real estate management firm.

Item 2. Properties
As of the date hereof, Registrant
owned four properties, or interests therein. A
summary description of each property held at
December 31, 1999 is given below.
a. Lincoln Court - consists of 58
apartment units in three buildings located at
5351 Overbrook Avenue in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. In March 1987, the Registrant
acquired the buildings and is the 100% equity
owner of this property. Registrant acquired
and rehabilitated the Property for $3,417,640
($64 per sf) (such amount is exclusive of
$158,985 of capitalized fees incurred, which
were funded by Registrant's equity
contributions), including mortgage financing of
$1,730,000 and a note payable of $10,000 (total
balance due of $10,000 at December 31, 1999).
The note payable bears interest at 10% payable
interest only on a quarterly basis; the
principal was due in 1994. In 1988, a $95,000
second mortgage loan was obtained. In 1991, an
$100,000 third mortgage loan was obtained which
was due in 1994. Due to decreased cash flow,
the Registrant stopped making scheduled debt
service payments to the holder of the first,
second and third mortgages. Notice of default
was received from the lender on November 29,
1993. The Registrant pursued settlement
discussions with the lender; however, in
December 1994 the mortgage notes were sold.
The Registrant entered into an agreement with
the new holder of the mortgages whereby the
maturities of the notes were extended to 1999
and monthly payments of interest are to be made
to the new note holder in an amount equal to
net operating income. In June 1996, the
Registrant refinanced $1,268,000 of the first
mortgage. In November 1998, the Registrant
restructured the mortgage notes. The first
mortgage was refinanced with a $1,540,000
mortgage ($1,525,333 principal balance at
December 31, 1999) which bears interest at
6.83%, is payable in monthly installments of
principal and interest of $10,070 and is due in
November 2008. The three mortgage notes were
consolidated and a new note (principal balance
of $1,942,681 at December 31, 1999 including
accrued but unpaid interest) was structured
which extends the maturity date to December 2,
2008, bears interest at 15% and monthly
payments of interest are to be made in an
amount equal to net operating income.
The property is managed by BCMI. As
of December 31, 1999, 51 residential units were
under lease (93%) at monthly rents ranging from
$460 to $1,565. All leases are renewable, one-
year leases. The occupancy for the previous
four years was 100% for 1998, 87% for 1997 84%
for 1996, and 81% for 1995. The monthly rental
range has been approximately the same since
1995. For tax purposes, this property has a
federal tax basis of $3,759,546 and is
depreciated using the straight-line method with
a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real
estate taxes are $30,226 which is based on
assessed value of $365,760 taxed at a rate of
$8.264 per $100. No one tenant occupies ten
percent or more of the building. It is the
opinion of the management of the Registrant
that the property is adequately covered by
insurance.
b. The Green Street Apartments -
consists of 18 apartment units in three
adjoining buildings located at 1826-1828-1830
Green Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In
July 1987, Registrant acquired its interest in
this property by purchasing a 99% general
partnership interest in 18th & Green Associates
General Partnership ("18th & Green"), a
Pennsylvania general partnership, for $800,000.
18th & Green contracted to acquire and
rehabilitate the Property for $1,600,000 ($100
per sf). Additionally, $100,000 of
cash/marketing reserves were provided. The
total cost of the project was funded by
Registrant's equity contribution and mortgage
financing of $900,000 (principal balance of
$1,318,119 at December 31, 1999) which bears
interest at 12%. During 1990, Registrant
defaulted on its mortgage loan and the lender
obtained a confession of judgment pursuant to
the loan documents. Registrant petitioned the
court to open the judgment and negotiated a
settlement with the lender. The settlement
required the Registrant to make payments toward
delinquent interest in December 1990 and April
1991. Registrant did not make the April 1991
payment; however, no notice of default was
received from the lender. In 1992, the
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") took over
control of the lender. The Registrant received
notice in 1993 that the RTC had sold the loan.
The purchaser of the note contacted the
Registrant who attempted to negotiate a loan
modification. In September 1994, the mortgage
note was sold again. The Registrant entered
into an agreement with the new holder of the
mortgage whereby the note maturity was extended
through July 2009 with monthly payments of
interest to be made in an amount equal to net
operating income, with a minimum of $5,750 per
month. The property is managed by BCMI.
As of December 31, 1999, 17
apartments were under lease (83%) at monthly
rents ranging from $495 to $725. All leases
are renewable, one-year leases. The occupancy
for the previous four years was 94% for 1998,
94% for 1997, 92% for 1996 and 92% for 1995.
The monthly rental range has been approximately
the same since 1995. For tax purposes, this
property has a federal tax basis of $1,480,897
and is depreciated using the straight-line
method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The
annual real estate taxes are $15,470 which is
based on assessed value of $187,200 taxed at a
rate of $8.264 per $100. No one tenant
occupies ten percent or more of the building.
It is the opinion of the management of the
Registrant that the property is adequately
covered by insurance.
c. The Loewy Building - consists of
two adjoining buildings located at 505 West
Fourth Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The buildings consist of 62,091 sf of
commercial space. In November 1986, the
Registrant acquired its interest in this
Property by purchasing a 99% interest in Triad
Properties General Partnership ("Triad"), a
Pennsylvania general partnership, for a cash
contribution of $2,250,000. Triad contracted
to acquire and rehabilitate the Property for
$5,690,000 ($88 per sf). Additionally,
$560,000 of working capital/marketing reserves
were provided. The total cost of the project
was funded by Registrant's equity contribution,
mortgage financing of $3,560,000 (principal
balance of $3,811,828 at December 31, 1999) and
a $500,000 note payable to the Developer (Cwood
Properties, Inc., Thomas L. Kummer and Gail R.
Citron; all of whom are general partners of
Triad). The first mortgage bears interest at
11.5% and is due in January 2012. The note was
sold in September 1997. The Registrant entered
into an agreement with the new holder of the
note whereby monthly payments of interest are
to be made to the new note holder in an amount
equal to net operating income with a minimum
monthly payment of $27,500. Triad obtained
$200,000 of additional financing in 1987 to
fund cost overruns resulting from delays and
changes in rehabilitation and construction
plans, (principal balance due of $200,000 at
December 31, 1999) and interest at prime with a
minimum of 6% and a maximum of 8% adjusting
annually on January 2, (the rate was 8% at
December 31, 1999 and 1998) and the Registrant
advanced an additional $1,098,000. The
property is managed by BCMI.
As of December 31, 1999, 24,925 sf
were rented (41%) at annual rates ranging from
$6.00 to $13.41 per sf. The occupancy for the
previous four years has been 98% for 1998, 88%
for 1997, 88% for 1996 and 95% for 1995. The
significant drop in occupancy as of December
31, 1999 as compared to 1998 is the result of
the expiration of a tenant lease on December
31, 1999 for 33,121 sf. The range for annual
rents has been $6.00 to $16.44 per sf for 1998,
$6.00 to $16.21 per sf for 1997, $6.00 to
$14.16 per sf for 1996 and $6.00 to $12.93 per
sf for 1995. There are two tenants who each
occupy ten percent or more of the rentable
square footage. Both tenants operate
principally as law firms.
The following is a table showing
commercial lease expirations at Loewy Building
for the next five years.
Total annual % of gross
Number of Total sf of rental covered annual rental

2002 2 10,756 130,464 43%
2003 0 0 0 0%
2004 0 0 0 0%
There are 5 commercial leases which
expire in 2000. The first lease is for 15 sf
and, although no negotiations have taken place,
the Registrant expects the tenant to renew at
current rental rates. The second lease is for
3,508 sf and the Registrant expects the tenant
to exercise the renewal option in its lease.
The third lease is for 2,800 sf and the
Registrant expects the tenant to renew at
current market rates. The fourth and fifth
leases (6,496 sf) are with the same tenant and
expire May 31, 2000. The Registrant is in the
process of negotiating a lease extension and
does not expect the tenant to renew at current
market rates. For tax purposes of
depreciation, this property has federal tax
basis of $6,155,916 and is depreciated using
the straight-line method with a useful life of
27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes are
$19,776 which is based on an assessed value of
$1,680,900 taxed at a rate of $1.1765 per $100.
It is of the opinion of the management of the
Registrant that the property is adequately
covered by insurance.
d. Magazine Place - is a four story
building consisting of 57 apartment units
located at 730 Magazine Street in New Orleans,
Louisiana. In October 1986, the Registrant was
admitted with a 60% general partnership
interest in Magazine Place Limited Partnership
("MPP"), a Louisiana partnership, for a cash
contribution of $600,000. Registrant believes
that its acquisition of a majority general
partnership interest in MPP, though technically
non-compliant with the provisions of
Registrant's partnership agreement disapproving
of investments in limited partnerships, will
have no material adverse impact on Registrant's
limited partners. Registrant subsequently made
an additional equity contribution of $142,393
to fund certain fees incurred by MPP. MPP
acquired and rehabilitated the property for
$4,091,393 ($51 per sf), including mortgage
financing of $3,050,000 and cash contributions
by limited partners of $344,000. The mortgage
note bore interest at 10%, was payable in
monthly installments of principal and interest
of $26,766, and was due in 1999. The excess
proceeds from equity investments and mortgage
financing over the acquisition and
rehabilitation costs were utilized to provide
working capital reserves. The mortgage
($2,798,832 principal at September 27, 1999)
was refinanced in 1999 with a $2,870,000
mortgage which bears interest at 7.91%, is
payable in monthly installments of principal
and interest of $20,879 and is due in September
of 2009. In 1987, Registrant made an equity
contribution of $7,000 (MPP's other partners
contributed cash in the amount of $28,000 in
1987) to fund operating deficits incurred
during the lease-up period. According to the
Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the
Registrant's interest in MPP will be reduced
from 60% to 40% as of the First Conversion
Date. The First Conversion Date is the date on
which the Registrant will have received a
return of its initial capital contribution.
For purposes of determining the First
Conversion Date, the Registrant will be deemed
to have received a return of its initial
capital contribution when the sum of the
following amounts equals $600,000: (i) cash
distributions from MPP; (ii) investment tax
credit allocable to the Registrant; and (iii)
50% of the aggregate of MPP's net losses and
deductions allocable to the Registrant. As of
December 31, 1994, the Registrant had received
a return of its initial capital and the
Registrant's interest in the MPP was reduced to
40%. Since that date, the Registrant has
accounted for its investment in MPP on the
equity basis.
The property is managed by an
independent property management firm. As of
December 31, 1999, 57 residential units were
under lease (100%) at monthly rents ranging
from $620 to $1,300. All leases are renewable,
one-year leases. The occupancy for the
previous four years was 89% for 1998, 91% for
1997, 96% for 1996 and 91% for 1995. The
monthly rental range has been approximately the
same since 1995. For tax purposes, this
property has a federal tax basis of $2,500,448
and is depreciated using the straight-line
method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The
annual real estate taxes are $14,077 which is
based on assessed value of $79,000 taxed at a
rate of $17.819 per $100. No one tenant
occupies ten percent or more of the building.
It is the opinion of the management of the
Registrant that the property is adequately
covered by insurance.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
To the best of its knowledge,
Registrant is not party to, nor is any of its
property the subject of any pending material
legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of
Security Holders
No matter was submitted during the
fiscal years covered by this report to a vote
of security holders.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity
and Related Stockholder Matters
a. There is no established public
trading market for the Units. Registrant does
not anticipate any such market will develop.
Trading in the Units occurs solely through
private transactions. The Registrant is not
aware of the prices at which trades occur.
Registrant's records indicate that 111 Units of
record were sold or exchanged in 1999.
b. As of December 31, 1999, there
were 1,578 record holders of Units.
c. Registrant did not declare any
cash dividends in 1999 or 1998.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following selected financial data
are for the five years ended December 31, 1998.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations
(1) Liquidity
At December 31, 1999, Registrant
had cash of approximately $54,242. 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 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 December 31, 1999,
Registrant had restricted cash of $172,010
consisting primarily of funds held as security
deposits, replacement reserves and escrows for
taxes. As a consequence of these 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 Registrant
has feasible loan modifications in place at
Lincoln Court, Green Street and the Loewy
Building. 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.
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).
Since the lenders have agreed to
forebear from taking any foreclosure action as
long as cash flow payments are made, the
Registrant believes it is appropriate to
continue presenting the financial statements on
a going concern basis.
(2) Capital Resources
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, Loewy Building and 18th and Green has
agreed to fund capital expenditures at terms
similar to the first mortgage.
Results of Operations
During 1999, Registrant incurred a
net loss of $1,070,903 ($75.83 per limited
partnership unit), compared to a net loss of
$1,297,537 ($91.88 per limited partnership
unit) in 1998 and a net loss of $1,017,497
($72.05 per limited partnership unit) in 1997.
Rental income increased from
$1,251,764 in 1997 to $1,251,911 in 1998 to
$1,257,195 in 1999. The increase from 1998 to
1999 is due to an increase at the Lincoln Court
Apartments due to an increase in the average
occupancy and an increase in the average rental
rates partially offset by a decrease at Green
Street Apartments due to a decrease in the
average occupancy. The increase from 1997 to
1998 is due to an increase at the Green Street
Apartments due to an increase in the average
occupancy and an increase in the average rental
rates partially offset by a decrease at Lincoln
Court due to a decrease in the average
occupancy.
Rental operations expenses
increased from $614,679 in 1997 to $627,719 in
1998 and decreased to $585,564 in 1999. The
decrease from 1998 to 1999 is due to a decrease
in maintenance expense at the Loewy Building
combined with a decrease in commissions expense
at the Green Street Apartments, partially
offset by an increase in maintenance expense at
the Lincoln Court. Maintenance expense
decreased at the Loewy Building due to repairs
made to the air conditioning system in 1998
which did not recur in 1999. The decrease in
commissions expense at the Green Street
Apartments is due to the decrease in the
turnover of apartment units. Maintenance
expense at Lincoln Court increased due to
recarpeting and painting of apartment units.
The increase from 1997 to 1998 is due to an
increase in maintenance expense at the Loewy
Building due to extraordinary repairs made to
the heating system.
Interest expense increased from
$968,397 in 1997 to $1,162,024 in 1998 and
decreased to $1,066,780 in 1999. The decrease
from 1998 to 1999 is due to a decrease in
interest expense at Lincoln Court due to a
prepayment penalty incurred in the refinancing
of the mortgage notes in 1998 partially offset
by an increase at the Loewy Building due to an
adjustment made in the calcualtion of the
interest accruing on the mortgage loan in 1997.
The increase from 1997 to 1998 is due to an
increase in interest expense at Lincoln Court
due to a prepayment penalty incurred for the
refinancing of the mortgage notes partially
offset by a decrease at the Loewy Building.
Depreciation and amortization
increased from $531,057 in 1997 and to $581,834
in 1998 and decreased to $519,656 in 1999. The
decrease from 1998 to 1999 and the increase
from 1997 to 1998 is due to the amortization of
loan costs in connection with the refinancing
in 1998 of the mortgages at Lincoln Court.
In 1999, a loss of $839,000 was
incurred at the Registrant's four properties or
interests therein compared to a loss of
$1,046,000 in 1998 and a loss of $792,000 in
1997. A discussion of property
operations/activities follows:
In 1999, Registrant sustained a
loss of $375,000 at Lincoln Court including
$161,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense compared to a loss of $562,000
including $220,000 of depreciation expense in
1998 and a loss of $288,000 including $167,000
of depreciation expense in 1997. The decrease
in the loss from 1998 to 1999 is due to the
increase in rental income combined with a
decrease in interest and amortization expense
partialy offset by an increase in maintenance
expense. The increase in rental income is due
to the increase in the average occupancy (87%
to 88%) and the average rental rates. Interest
expense decreased due to the prepayment penalty
incurred in 1998 in connection with the
refinancing of the mortgages and the decrease
in amortization expense is due to the
amortization in 1998 of the loan costs from the
refinanced loan. Maintenance expense increased
due to both the recarpeting and painting of
apartment units due to the increase in the
turnover of apartment units. The increase in
the loss from 1997 to 1998 is mainly the result
of the refinancing of the mortgages combined
with a decrease in rental income. The
refinancing resulted in an increase in interest
expense due to a prepayment penalty incurred in
connection with the refinancing and an increase
in amortization expense due to the amortization
of the loan costs from the refinanced loan.
Rental income decreased due to a decrease in
the average occupancy (87% to 85%).
On June 30, 1992 Diversified
Historic Properties, Inc. ("DHP, Inc."), a co-
partner of the Registrant's general partner,
assigned to D, LTD (its parent) a note
receivable from the Registrant in the amount of
$432,103 which bears interest at 10% with the
entire principal and accrued interest due on
June 30, 1997. Interest accrued was $45,703
during both 1998 and 1999. Payments on the
note are to be made from available cash flow
and before any distribution can be made to the
Registrant's limited partners. The balance of
the note (including accrued but unpaid
interest) at December 31, 1999 was $716,007.
In 1999, the Green Street
Apartments sustained a loss of $147,000
including $59,000 of depreciation expense
compared to a loss of $141,000 in 1998
including $59,000 of depreciation expense and a
loss of $146,000 in 1997 including $59,000 of
depreciation expense. The increase in the loss
from 1998 to 1999 is due to the decrease in
rental income partially offset by a decrease in
commissions expense. The decrease in rental
income is due to a decrease in occupancy (95%
to 88%). Commissions expense decreased as a
result of a decrease in the turnover of
apartment units. The decrease in the loss from
1997 to 1998 is due to an increase in rental
income due to an increase in the average
occupancy (94% to 95%) and an increase in the
average rental rates.
On June 30, 1992, DHP, Inc.
assigned to D, LTD a note receivable from 18th
and Green to the Registrant, that had been
assigned to it, in the amount of $63,493 which
bears interest at 10% with the entire principal
and accrued interest due on June 30, 1997. On
December 6, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment in
the amount of $78,171 on this note in Common
Pleas Court for Philadelphia County. The
judgment accrues interest at 15%. Interest
accrued was $5,055 during 1998 and 1999.
Payments on the judgment are to be made from
available cash flow from 18th and Green. The
balance of the note at December 31, 1999 was
$60,234.
In 1999, the Loewy Building
sustained a loss of $317,000 including $285,000
of depreciation and amortization expense
compared to a loss of $343,000 including
$288,000 of depreciation expense in 1998 and a
loss of $358,000 including $290,000 of
depreciation expense in 1997. The decrease in
the loss from 1998 to 1999 is due to a decrease
in maintenance and utility expense partially
offset by an increase in interest expense. The
decrease in maintenance expense is due to
repairs made to the air conditioning systems in
the second quarter of 1998, which did not recur
in 1999. Utilities expense decreased as a
result of the decrease in average occupancy
(98% to 78%). The increase in interest expense
is due to an adjustment made in the calculation
of the interest accruing on the mortgage loan
in 1997. The decrease in the loss from 1997 to
1998 is due to a decrease in interest expense
partially offset by an increase in maintenance
expense due to extraordinary repairs made to
the heating system.
Summary of Minority Interests
In 1999, the Registrant incurred a
net loss of $34,000 at Magazine Place compared
to a loss of $54,000 in 1998 compared to
$30,000 in 1997. This investment is accounted
for by the equity method. The decrease from
1998 to 1999 is due to an increase in rental
income due to an increase in the average
occupancy (89% to 97%) and an increase in the
average rental rates, partially offset by an
increase in maintenance expense as a result of
an increase in the preparation of apartment
units due to the increase in the average
occupancy. The decrease from 1997 to 1998 is
due to a decrease in rental income due to a
decrease in the average occupancy (91% to 89%)
and a decrease in the average rental rates and
an increase in legal fees due to legal fees
incurred in connection with a refinancing of
the first mortgage debt.

Disclosures about Market Risk

(a limited partnership)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Diversified Historic Investors III (the
"Partnership") was formed in February 1986
under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. The Partnership was formed to
acquire, rehabilitate, and manage real
properties which were certified historic
structures as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or which were
eligible for designation as such, utilizing
mortgage financing and the net proceeds from
the sale of limited partnership units. Any
rehabilitations undertaken by the Partnership
were done with a view to obtaining
certification of expenditures therefore as
"qualified rehabilitations expenditures" as
defined in the Code.
NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting
policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements
follows:
1. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements of the
Partnership include the accounts of three
subsidiary partnerships (the "Ventures"), in
which the Partnership has a controlling
interest with appropriate elimination of inter-
partnership transactions and balances. In
addition, the Partnership owns a minority
interest of 40% in one partnership which it
accounts for on the equity method. These
financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which, in the opinion of the
Partnership's General Partner, are necessary
for a fair statement of the results for those
years.
2. Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Buildings and improvements are
depreciated over 25 years and furniture and
fixtures over five years.
3. Costs of Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the offering
and sale of limited partnership units were
charged against partners' equity as incurred.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid
instruments purchased with a maturity of less
than three months to be cash equivalents.
5. Interest Payable
Interest payable includes all accrued and
unpaid interest on the debt obligations, as
well as interest in arrears.
6. Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit
The net loss per limited partnership unit is
based on the weighted average number of limited
partnership units outstanding during the period
(13,891.5 in 1999, 1998, and 1997).
7. Income Taxes
Federal and state income taxes are payable by
the individual partners; accordingly, no
provision or liability for income taxes is
reflected in the annual financial statements.
8. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes amounts held for
tenant security deposits, real estate tax
reserves and other cash restricted as to use.
9. Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when rental payments
are due on a straight-line basis. Rental
payments received in advance are deferred until
earned.
10. Rental Properties
Rental properties are stated at cost. A
provision for impairment of value is recorded
when a decline in value of property is
determined to be other than temporary as a
result of one or more of the following: (1) a
property is offered for sale at a price below
its current carrying value, (2) a mortgage loan
on a property has significant balloon payments
due within the foreseeable future which the
Partnership does not have the resources to
meet, and anticipates it will be unable to
obtain replacement financing or debt
modification sufficient to allow it to continue
to hold the property over a reasonable period
of time, (3) a property has been, and is
expected to continue, generating significant
operating deficits and the Partnership is
unable or unwilling to sustain such deficit
results of operations, and has been unable, or
anticipates it will be unable, to obtain debt
modification, financing or refinancing
sufficient to allow it to continue to hold the
property for a reasonable period of time or (4)
a property's value has declined based on
management's expectations with respect to
projected future operational cash flows and
prevailing economic conditions. An impairment
loss is indicated when the undiscounted sum of
estimated future cash flows from an asset,
including estimated sales proceeds, and
assuming a reasonable period of ownership up to
5 years, is less than the carrying amount of
the asset. The impairment loss is measured as
the difference between the estimated fair value
and the carrying amount of the asset. In the
absence of the above circumstances, properties
and improvements are stated at cost. An
analysis is done on an annual basis at December
31 of each year.
11. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
NOTE C - GOING CONCERN
In recent years the Partnership 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, the Partnership has
feasible loan modifications in place at Lincoln
Court, Green Street and Loewy Building.
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 Partnership to
pay its general and administrative expenses.
It is the Partnership'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).
Since the lenders have agreed to forebear from
taking any foreclosure action as long as cash
flow payments are made, the Partnership
believes it is appropriate to continue
presenting the financial statements on a going
concern basis.
NOTE D - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The significant terms of the Agreement of
Limited Partnership (the "Agreement"), as they
relate to the financial statements, follow:
All distributable cash from operations (as
defined in the Agreement of Limited
Partnership) will be distributed 90% to the
limited partners and 10% to the General
Partner.
All distributable cash from sales or
dispositions (as defined) will be distributed
to the limited partners up to their adjusted
invested capital (as defined) plus an amount
equal to the sum of the greater of a 6%
cumulative, noncompounded annual return on the
average after-credit invested capital, less
amounts previously distributed (as defined);
thereafter, after receipt by the General
Partner or its affiliates of any accrued but
unpaid real estate brokerage commissions, the
balance will be distributed 15% to the General
Partner and 85% to the limited partners.
Net income or loss from operations of the
Partnership is allocated 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the limited partners.
NOTE E - ACQUISITIONS
The Partnership acquired five controlling or
limited partnership interests in Ventures
during the period October 1986 to July 1987, as
discussed below.
In October 1986, the Partnership was admitted,
with a 60% general partnership interest, to a
Louisiana limited partnership which owns a
building located in Louisiana consisting of 57
residential units, for a cash capital
contribution of $600,000. Pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the
Partnership's interest was reduced to 40%
effective January 1, 1995.
In November 1986, the Partnership was admitted,
with a 99% general partnership interest, to a
Pennsylvania general partnership which owns a
building located in North Carolina consisting
of 64,000 square feet of commercial space, for
a cash contribution of $2,450,000.
In December 1986, the Partnership was admitted,
with a 99% general partnership interest, to a
Maryland general partnership which owned a
property located in Maryland consisting of 55
residential units and 14,800 square feet of
commercial space, for a cash contribution of
$3,508,700. The lender on the property
foreclosed in January 1996.
In March 1987, the Partnership purchased a
property consisting of three buildings (58
residential units) located in Pennsylvania for
a cash capital contribution of $500,000.
In July 1987, the Partnership was admitted,
with a 99% general partnership interest, to a
Pennsylvania general partnership which owns a
building located in Pennsylvania consisting of
18 residential units, for a cash capital
contribution of $800,000.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pursuant to certain agreements, the developers
of the properties and limited partners in the
Ventures are entitled to share in the
following:
a. 15% to 50% of net cash flow from
operations above certain specified amounts
(three properties)
b. 30% of the net proceeds, as defined, from
the sale or refinancing of one property. The
Partnership is entitled to a priority
distribution of such proceeds prior to any
payment to the developer.
According to the Amended and Restated
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership's
interest in Magazine Place Limited Partnership
("MPP") was reduced from 60% to 40% as of the
First Conversion Date. The First Conversion
Date was the date on which the Partnership
received a return of its initial capital
contribution as referred to in the Partnership
Agreement. For purposes of determining the
First Conversion Date, the Partnership was
deemed to have received a return of its initial
capital contribution when the sum of the
following amounts equalled $600,000: (i) cash
distributions to the Partnership from MPP; (ii)
investment tax credit allocable to the
Partnership; and (iii) 50% of the aggregate of
MPP's net losses and deductions allocable to
the Partnership. As of December 31, 1994, the
Partnership had received a return of its
initial capital and the Partnership's interest
in the MPP was reduced to 40%. Since that
date, the Partnership has accounted for its
investment in MPP on the equity basis.
