                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    Quarters Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


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, 1996, may not be indicative of the results
      that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  Amounts as
      of December 31, 1995, included in the financial statements, have been
      derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

      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, 1995.

      The Partnership accounts for its 69.07% interest in Tuscawilla Joint
      Venture using the consolidation method.  Minority interest represents
      the minority joint venture partners' proportionate share of the equity
      in the Partnership's consolidated joint venture.  All significant
      intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted 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 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.  Adoption of this standard had no
      material effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of
      operations.

2.    Commitments:
      -----------

      In May 1995, the Partnership received notice from the tenant of its
      property in Bradenton, Florida, that it intends to exercise its option
      to purchase the property in accordance with the terms of its lease
      agreement.  As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership and the tenant had not
      yet entered into a purchase and sale agreement relating to this
      property.

      In March 1996, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale
      agreement with an unrelated third party to sell the Partnership's Po
      Folks Property located in Hagerstown, Maryland.  The closing is
      scheduled to occur no later than July 1996.

3.    Subsequent Event:
      ----------------

      In April 1996, the Partnership entered into a promissory note with the
      corporate general partner for a loan in the amount of $124,200 in
      connection with the operations of the Partnership.  The note is
      uncollateralized, non-interest bearing and due on demand.







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 restaurant properties, 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.  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, 1996, 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, 1996 and 1995, 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 $544,559 and
$572,033 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
decrease in cash from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, is
primarily a result of changes in income and expenses as discussed in "Results
of Operations" below and changes in the Partnership's working capital.

      Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

      In January 1996, the Partnership entered into a promissory note with the
corporate general partner for a loan in the amount of $86,200 in connection
with the operations of the Partnership.  The loan was uncollateralized, bore
interest at a rate of prime plus 0.25% per annum and was due on demand.  As of
March 31, 1996, the Partnership had repaid the loan in full along with
approximately $660 in interest, to the corporate general partner.

      In addition, in April 1996, the Partnership entered into a promissory
note with the corporate general partner for a loan in the amount of $124,200
in connection with the operations of the Partnership.  The note is
uncollateralized, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

      In May 1995, the Partnership received notice from the tenant of its
Property in Bradenton, Florida, that it intends to exercise its option to
purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of its lease agreement.  As
of April 30, 1996, the Partnership and the tenant had not yet entered into a
purchase and sale agreement relating to this Property.  In addition, in March
1996, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an
unrelated third party to sell the Partnership's Po Folks Property located in
Hagerstown, Maryland.  The closing is scheduled to occur no later than July
1996.  These transactions, if they occur, are not expected to adversely affect
the Partnership's operations in 1996 and future years.  Any proceeds received
from the sale of these Properties will be reinvested in additional Properties,
distributed to the limited partners or used for other Partnership purposes.

      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, 1996, the Partnership had
$258,323 invested in such short-term investments as compared to $312,814 at
December 31, 1995.  The funds remaining at March 31, 1996, will be used
towards the payment of distributions and other liabilities.

      Total liabilities of the Partnership, including distributions payable,
decreased to $753,815 at March 31, 1996, from $764,449 at December 31, 1995. 
Liabilities at March 31, 1996, to the extent they exceed cash and cash
equivalents at March 31, 1996, will be paid from future cash from operations,
from the loan received from the corporate general partner in April 1996
described above, and, in the event the general partners elect to make
additional capital contributions or loans to the Partnership, from future
general partner capital contributions or loans.

      Based on current and anticipated future cash from operations, and to a
lesser extent, the loan received from the corporate general partner in April
1996 described above, the Partnership declared distributions to limited
partners of $594,000 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
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, 1996 and 1995.  No amounts distributed or to be distributed to the
limited partners for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, 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 intends to continue to make distributions of
cash available for distribution to the limited partners on a quarterly basis.

      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 Partner-ship'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, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership and
its consolidated joint venture, Tuscawilla Joint Venture, owned and leased 31
wholly owned Properties to operators of fast-food and family-style restaurant
chains.  In connection therewith, during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, the Partnership and Tuscawilla Joint Venture earned $547,420 and
$580,914, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned
income from the direct financing lease.  For the quarters ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, the Partnership also earned $30,825 and $33,773, respectively, in
contingent rental income.

      The decrease in rental and earned income is primarily a result of the
fact that in February 1995, the tenant of the Po Folks Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, ceased operations of the restaurant business located on such
Property.  As a result of the Partnership discontinuing the recognition of
rental income relating to this Property, the Partnership recorded no rental
income relating to this Property for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to approximately $27,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 
Currently, the Partnership is pursuing collection of the past due amounts and
will recognize any such amounts as income if  collected.  In addition, during
March 1996, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an
unrelated third party to sell this Property as discussed in "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" above.

      During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, rental and earned income also
decreased by approximately $15,000 as the result of the fact that the
Partnership increased its allowance for doubtful accounts for the Property in
Chicago, Illinois.  The tenant of this Property remains responsible for
compliance with the terms of the lease (including the payment of scheduled
rent increases as they become due); however, the general partners believe that
collection is doubtful due to the continued financial difficulties the tenant
is experiencing.  The Partnership intends to pursue collection of amounts due
in accordance with the lease and will record such amounts as income if
collected.

      The decrease in rental and earned income during the quarter ended March
31, 1996, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995, was partially
offset by an increase of approximately $9,200 as a result of the fact that in
June 1995, a new operator began operating the Property in Page, Arizona, on a
month-to-month basis.  The Partnership is currently negotiating a new lease
for this Property with the new operator and anticipates executing such lease
in 1996.

      For the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership also
owned and leased one Property indirectly through another joint venture
arrangement.  In connection therewith, during the quarters ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, the Partnership earned $2,725 and $3,341, respectively,
attributable to net income earned by this joint venture.

      Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $183,217 and $155,452 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995, is primarily
the result of an increase in (i) accounting and administrative expenses
associated with operating the Partnership and its Properties and
(ii) insurance expense as a result of the general partners' obtaining
contingent liability and property coverage for the Partnership, effective May
1995.  This insurance policy is intended to reduce the Partnership's exposure
in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance policy lapses or is insufficient to
cover a claim relating to the Property.  Operating expenses also increased due
to the fact that during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership
incurred professional services as a result of appraisal updates obtained to
prepare an annual statement of unit valuation to qualified plans in accordance
with the Partnership's partnership agreement.  During 1995, these professional
services were incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

      In addition, the increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995, is partially
attributable to the Partnership's accruing 1996 real estate taxes of
approximately $7,200 relating to the Denny's and Po Folks Properties in
Hagerstown, Maryland.  The Partnership also continued to accrue real estate
taxes during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, for the Property in
Chicago, Illinois.  Payment of these taxes remains the responsibility of the
tenants of these Properties; however, because of the current financial
difficulties the tenants are experiencing, the general partners believe the
tenants' ability to pay these expenses is doubtful.  The Partnership expects
to continue to incur real estate tax expense relating to the Property in
Chicago, Illinois, due to the continued financial difficulties of the tenant. 
The Partnership also expects to continue to incur real estate tax expense for
the Denny's Property in Hagerstown, Maryland, until such time as a replacement
tenant is located, and for the Po Folks Property in Hagerstown, Maryland,
until the Property is sold under the agreement discussed in "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" above.  The Partnership intends to pursue collection from
the tenants and any such amounts paid by the Partnership and will recognize
such amounts as income if collected.
