                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    Basis of Presentation:
      ---------------------

      The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
      include all of the information and note disclosures required by
      generally accepted accounting principles.  The financial statements
      reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
      which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement
      of the results for the interim periods presented.  Operating results
      for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, may not be indicative of the
      results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.

      These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
      Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the year ended December 31,
      1994.

      The Partnership accounts for its 69.07% interest in the accounts of
      Tuscawilla Joint Venture under the full consolidation method.  All
      significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      Net income per limited partner unit is calculated based upon the
      weighted average number of units of limited partnership interest
      outstanding during each period.  The weighted average number of
      limited partner units outstanding for each of the quarters ended
      March 31, 1995 and 1994 was 50,000.

      In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
      of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.  The
      statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
      15, 1995, requires that an entity review long-lived assets and certain
      identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever
      events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
      the asset may not be recoverable.  The Partnership plans to adopt this
      standard in 1996 and does not expect compliance with such standard to
      have a material effect, if any, on the Partnership's financial position
      or results of operations.


ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Florida limited
partnership that was organized on June 1, 1987, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed and
existing restaurants, as well as land upon which restaurants were to be
constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of selected national and
regional fast-food restaurant chains (collectively, the "Properties").  The
leases generally are triple-net leases, with the lessees responsible for all
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities.  As of
March 31, 1995, the Partnership owned 32 Properties, including interests in
two Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a
co-venturer.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - - - - - -------------------------------

      The Partnership's primary source of capital for the quarters ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, was cash from operations (which includes cash
received from tenants, distributions from joint ventures, and interest
and other income received, less cash paid for expenses).  Cash from
operations was $572,033 and $591,478 for the quarters ended March 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.  The decrease in cash from operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, is primarily a result of changes in income
and expenses as discussed in "Results of Operations" below.

      In August 1994, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the
tenant of the Po Folks Property in Hagerstown, Maryland, providing for the
payment to the Partnership of $250,525 of past due rental amounts on a weekly
basis over a period of approximately 60 months.  During the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, the tenant discontinued payment of the base rental income as
provided in its lease agreement.  In addition, as of March 31, 1995, the
Partnership had not received any payments relating to the $250,525 of past
due rental amounts and was negotiating to sell the Property and accept a
promissory note for a portion of the sales price.  In connection with the
sale, the Partnership is expected to accept a settlement of ten percent of
the gross arrearages due, or approximately $27,500.  The amount of arrearages
included in receivables at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, is $27,529
and $0, respectively, which is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$247,762 and $234,443, respectively.

      During 1994, the Partnership received a judgment in bankruptcy relating
to the former tenant of the Property in Canton Township, Michigan, for an
amount equal to $3,324 as payment in full of all past due amounts owed to the
Partnership.  Payment was due in 60 monthly installments of $66, including
interest at a rate of seven percent per annum, commencing on November 1, 1994. 
The Partnership received no payments relating to this judgment and negotiated
with the former tenant a reduced lump sum settlement of $2,588, which was
received during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

      Currently, rental income from the Partnership's Properties is invested
in money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid investments
pending the Partnership's use of such funds to pay Partnership expenses or
to make distributions to the partners.  At March 31, 1995, the Partnership
had $478,357 invested in such short-term investments as compared to $505,374
at December 31, 1994.  The funds remaining at March 31, 1995, will be used
towards the payment of distributions and other liabilities.

      Total liabilities of the Partnership, including distributions payable,
decreased to $694,592 at March 31, 1995, from $748,632 at December 31, 1994,
primarily as a result of the Partnership's payment of real estate taxes
accrued at December 31, 1994, relating to the Property in Chicago, Illinois,
which the Partnership paid due to the tenant's default under the terms of its
lease.  Liabilities also decreased as a result of the Partnership's payment
of real estate taxes that had been escrowed at December 31, 1994.  Liabilities
at March 31, 1995, to the extent they exceed cash and cash equivalents at
March 31, 1995, will be paid from future cash from operations and, in the
event the general partners elect to make additional capital contributions,
from future general partner capital contributions.

      Based on current and anticipated future cash from operations, the
Partnership declared distributions to limited partners of $594,000 for each of
the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  This represents distributions for
each applicable quarter of $11.88 per unit.  No distributions were made to the
general partners for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  No amounts
distributed or to be distributed to the limited partners for the quarters
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, are required to be or have been treated by the
Partnership as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the limited
partners' return on their adjusted capital contributions.

      The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and leasing them under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses.
The general partners believe that the leases will continue to generate cash
flow in excess of operating expenses.

      The general partners have the right, but not the obligation, to make
additional capital contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection
with the operations of the Partnership.

Results of Operations
- - - - - - ---------------------

      During the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership and
its consolidated joint venture, Tuscawilla Joint Venture, earned $580,914 and
$578,632, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned
income from the direct financing lease.  In addition, for the quarters ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership earned $33,773 and $28,330,
respectively, in contingent rental income.  The increase in rental and earned
income during the quarter ended March 31, 1995, as compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 1994, was partially attributable to an increase of approxi-
mately $26,700 as the result of the Partnership's increasing its allowance
for doubtful accounts by approximately $9,600 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, as compared to approximately $36,300 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1994, for rental amounts relating to the Po Folks Property in
Hagerstown, Maryland, as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

      The increase in rental and earned income during the quarter ended March
31, 1995, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, was partially
offset by a decrease of approximately $16,700  as the result of the
Partnership's increasing its allowance for doubtful accounts for rental amounts
relating to the Property in Page, Arizona.  In addition, rental and earned
income decreased approximately $8,400 during the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, due to the fact that in 1994,
the lease relating to the Property in Hazard, Kentucky, was amended to provide
for payment of reduced annual base rent with no scheduled rent increases.
However, the lease amendment provides for a lower percentage rent breakpoint,
as compared to the original lease agreement, which is designed to result in
higher annual percentage rent payments at any time that percentage rent
becomes payable.  Total rental payments under the amended lease are expected
to equal or be greater than the original lease.

      The increase in contingent rental income during the quarter ended March
31, 1995, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, is partially
attributable to increased gross sales of certain restaurant Properties
requiring the payment of contingent rental income.  Contingent rental income
also increased as the result of a lower percentage rent breakpoint provided
for in the lease amendment for the Property in Hazard, Kentucky, as described
above.

      For the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership also
earned $3,341 and $3,472, respectively, attributable to net income earned by
Titusville Joint Venture in which the Partnership is a co-venturer.

      Interest and other income during the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
decreased to $5,402, as compared to $21,401 for the quarter ended March 31,
1994, primarily as the result of proceeds received by the Partnership during
the quarter ended March 31, 1994, for the taking of an easement relating to
one of its Properties.  No such transaction occurred during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.

      Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, were
$46,828 and $31,538 (7.6% and 5.0% of gross revenues, including equity in
earnings of the unconsolidated joint venture and net of minority interest in
consolidated joint venture) for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, is primarily
attributable to the Partnership's payment of certain taxes relating to the
filing of various state tax returns during the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
which in the previous year were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 1994.
Operating expenses also increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
due to the Partnership's accruing real estate taxes relating to the Property
in Chicago, Illinois.  Payment of these taxes remains the responsibility of
the tenant of this Property; however, because of the current financial
difficulties of the tenant, the general partners believe the tenant's ability
to pay these expenses is doubtful.  The Partnership intends to pursue
collection from the tenant of any such amounts paid by the Partnership and
will recognize such amounts as income if collected.

      The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in
administrative expenses associated with the processing services provided for
investors.
