                                  PART I

This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.  Actual  results could differ  materially  from those  projected in the
forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors,  including those
identified herein.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Krupp  Insured  Plus-III   Limited   Partnership   (the   "Partnership")   is  a
Massachusetts  limited  partnership  which was  formed on March  21,  1988.  The
Partnership  raised  approximately  $255  million  through a public  offering of
limited partner interests  evidenced by units of depositary  receipts  ("Units")
and used the net proceeds primarily to acquire  participating  insured mortgages
("PIMs") and  mortgage-backed  securities  ("MBS").  The  Partnership  considers
itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, investment in mortgages.

The  Partnership's  investments in PIMs on multi-family  residential  properties
consist of a MBS (the "insured  mortgage")  guaranteed as to principal and basic
interest and a  participation  feature that is not insured nor  guaranteed.  The
insured  mortgages  were issued or originated  under or in  connection  with the
housing programs of the Government  National  Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA") or
Fannie Mae. PIMs provide the Partnership  with monthly payments of principal and
interest on the insured mortgage and also provide for Partnership  participation
in the current  revenue stream and in residual  value,  if any, as a result of a
sale or other  realization  of the  underlying  property from the  participation
feature.  The  borrower  conveys  the  participation  rights to the  Partnership
through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage.

The  Partnership   also  acquired  MBS   collateralized   by   single-family  or
multi-family mortgage loans issued or originated by Fannie Mae, the Federal Home
Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC")  or the  Federal  Housing  Administration
("FHA").  Fannie Mae and FHLMC guarantee the principal and basic interest of the
Fannie Mae and FHLMC MBS,  respectively.  The  Department  of Housing  and Urban
Development ("HUD") insures the FHA mortgage loan.
The Partnership  must  distribute  proceeds  received from  prepayments or other
realization  of the  mortgages to the  investors  through  quarterly or possibly
special distributions.

Although the  Partnership  will  terminate no later than December 31, 2028 it is
expected  that  the  value  of  the  PIMs  generally  will  be  realized  by the
Partnership  through  repayment  or sale as early as ten years from the dates of
the closings of the  permanent  loans and that the  Partnership  may realize the
value of all of its other  investments  within that time frame thereby resulting
in a dissolution of the Partnership significantly prior to December 31, 2028.

The  Partnership's  investments  are not  expected  to be  subject  to  seasonal
fluctuations.  However,  the future  performance of the Partnership  will depend
upon certain factors which cannot be predicted.  Such factors  include  interest
rate  fluctuations  and the credit  worthiness of Fannie Mae, HUD and FHLMC. Any
ultimate realization of the participation features on PIMs is subject to similar
risks associated with equity real estate investments, including: reliance on the
owner's  operating  skills,   ability  to  maintain  occupancy  levels,  control
operating  expenses,   maintain  the  property  and  obtain  adequate  insurance
coverage; adverse changes in government regulations, real estate zoning laws, or
tax laws; and other  circumstances over which the Partnership may have little or
no control.

The  requirements  for compliance with federal,  state and local  regulations to
date have not had an  adverse  effect on the  Partnership's  operations,  and no
adverse effect therefrom is now anticipated in the future.

As of  December  31,  1999,  there were no  personnel  directly  employed by the
Partnership.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no material  pending legal  proceedings to which the  Partnership is a

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
        STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There currently is no established trading market for the Units.

The number of investors  holding Units as of December 31, 1999 was approximately
10,400.  One of  the  objectives  of the  Partnership  is to  provide  quarterly
distributions  of cash flow  generated  by its  investments  in  mortgages.  The
Partnership  anticipates  that future  operations will continue to generate cash
available for distributions.

During January 2000, the  Partnership  made a special  distribution of $1.17 per
Limited Partner interest from the principal proceeds from the Marina Shores PIM.

During 1999, the Partnership made special distributions  consisting primarily of
principal proceeds from the Windsor Court and Mill Ponds PIM prepayments.

During 1998, the Partnership made special distributions  consisting primarily of
principal proceeds from the Woodbine,  Ironwood,  Sundance, Rosewood, Forth Ward
Square and Meredith  Square PIM  prepayments  and the repayment of the Brookside
and Regency Park multi-family MBS.

The Partnership may make special distributions in the future if PIMs prepay or a
sufficient amount of cash is available from MBS and PIM principal collections.

The Partnership made the following distributions, in quarterly installments, and
special  distributions,  to its Partners during the two years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations  contains  forward-looking   statements  including  those  concerning
Management's  expectations regarding the future financial performance and future
events.   These   forward-looking   statements  involve   significant  risk  and
uncertainties,  including  those  described  herein.  Actual  results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

Starting  in  1997  the  General   Partners   conducted  an  assessment  of  the
Partnership's  core  internal  and  external  computer  information  systems  to
understand  the nature and extent of work required to make its systems Year 2000
ready.  The Year  2000  readiness  issue was  concerned  with the  inability  of
computerized  information systems to accurately  calculate,  store or use a date
after  1999.   The  General   Partners   believed  that  a  system   failure  or
miscalculation could cause disruptions of operations.

As  a  result  of  this  concern,  the  General  Partners,  along  with  certain
affiliates,  upgraded  their  computer  systems  including  their  hardware  and
software so they would be Year 2000 ready.  In  addition,  the General  Partners
surveyed  the   Partnership's   material   third-party   service  providers  and
significant  vendors and received assurances that they were Year 2000 ready. The
General   Partners   also   developed   contingency   plans  for  all  of  their
"mission-critical functions" to insure business continuity. As a result of these
efforts  and the efforts of third  parties,  the Year 2000 did not result in any
disruption of activities to the Partnership.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The most  significant  demands on the  Partnership's  liquidity  are the regular
quarterly distributions paid to investors,  which are approximately $2.4 million
each  quarter.  Funds  for the  investor  distributions  come  from the  monthly
principal  and  basic  interest  payments  received  on the PIMs  and  MBS,  the
principal  prepayments  of  the  PIMs  and  MBS,  and  interest  earned  on  the
Partnership's cash and cash equivalents. In general, the General Partners try to
set a distribution rate that provides for level quarterly  distributions of cash
available for  distribution.  To the extent that quarterly  distributions do not
fully utilize the cash available for distributions  and cash balances  increase,
the General Partners may adjust the  distribution  rate or distribute such funds
through a special distribution. The portion of distributions attributable to the
principal  collections reduces the capital resources of the Partnership.  As the
capital  resources  decrease,  the total cash flows to the Partnership also will
decrease and over time will result in periodic  adjustments to the distributions
paid to investors.  Based on current  projections,  the General Partners believe
the Partnership will need to adjust the current distribution rate beginning with
the August 2000  distribution.  The General Partners will determine the new rate
during the first quarter of 2000.

<PAGE>

In December of 1999, the Partnership  received a prepayment on the Marina Shores
PIM in the amount of  $14,491,746  along with  $426,321  of Shared  Appreciation
Interest.  A special  distribution  in the amount of $1.17 per  Limited  Partner
Interest was paid during January 2000.

The Partnership  made two special  distributions  during 1999 as a result of the
following  PIM  prepayments:   In  February  1999,  an  $.88  per  Unit  special
distribution was made with the prepayment  proceeds in the amount of $10,876,051
from the Windsor Court PIM that was received in January 1999. In September 1999,
an $.80 per Unit special  distribution was made with the prepayment  proceeds in
the amount of  $9,751,550  from the Mill Ponds PIM that was received  during the
third quarter of 1999.

The Partnership  made six special  distributions  during 1998 as a result of the
following  PIM   prepayments.   In  January  1998,  a  $2.30  per  Unit  special
distribution  was made with the  prepayment  proceeds of the three  Paddock Club
PIMs that were received  during the fourth  quarter  1997.  In February  1998, a
$1.01 per Unit special  distribution  was made with the  prepayment  proceeds of
Fourth Ward Square and Meredith  Square PIMs that were received  during  January
1998.  In April 1998,  a $.42 per Unit  special  distribution  was made with the
prepayment  proceeds  of the  Rosewood  PIM that was  received  during the first
quarter of 1998.  During July 1998, a $1.28 special  distribution  was made with
the prepayment  proceeds of the Sundance PIM and the Regency and Brookside MBSs.
In December,  1998, two special  distributions  totaling $.77 per Unit were made
with the prepayment proceeds of the Ironwood and Woodbine PIMs.

In  addition  to  providing  guaranteed  monthly  principal  and basic  interest
payments,  the Partnership's PIM investments also may provide  additional income
through its participation  feature in the underlying  properties if they operate
successfully.  The  Partnership  may receive a share in any operating  cash flow
that  exceeds  debt  service  obligations  and  capital  needs or a share in any
appreciation in value when the properties are sold or refinanced.  However, this
participation  interest is neither  guaranteed nor insured,  and it is dependent
upon whether  property  operations or its terminal  value met certain  criteria.
During 1999, the Partnership  received  approximately  $172,000 in participation
interest  from  operating  cash flow from the Mill  Ponds  PIM  investment.  The
Partnership  also  received  approximately  $829,000 in  participation  interest
related to the sale or  refinance  value  from the Mill Ponds and Marina  Shores
PIM's.

During 1998, the Partnership  received  approximately  $832,000 in participation
interest  from  operating  cash  flow  from six of its PIM  investments:  Marina
Shores,  Mill  Ponds,  Rosewood,  Ironwood,  Woodbine  and  Windsor  Court.  The
Partnership also received  approximately  $1,261,000 in  participation  interest
related to the sale or  refinance  value from the  Rosewood,  Ironwood,  Windsor
Court and Woodbine PIM's and the Brookside MBS.

The Partnership's only remaining PIM investments are the MBS backed by the first
mortgage loans on Casa Marina, Harbor Club and Royal Palm Place. Presently,  the
General  Partner does not expect any of these  properties to pay the Partnership
any participation interest or to be sold or refinanced during 2000. Casa Marina,
located  in North  Miami,  is a forty-  year old  property  where  the  costs of
maintenance,  repairs and replacements  have escalated as the property has aged.
Occupancy  generally  hovers in the 90% range,  and the property only  generates
sufficient  cash flow for  adequate  maintenance  and not enough to provide  for
major capital improvements or any participation  interest.  Harbor Club operates
successfully in Ann Arbor,  Michigan,  which is a very  competitive  market with
many newer apartment  properties.  Although Harbor Club has maintained occupancy
rates in the mid 90% range for the past two years,  most cash flow  generated by
the  property is used for capital  replacements  and  improvements  that help it
maintain its strong market position. Royal Palm Place operates under a long term
restructure  program.  As an on going result of the Partnership's 1995 agreement
to modify the payment  terms of the Royal Palm Place PIM, the  Partnership  will
receive basic interest only payments on the Fannie Mae MBS at the rate of 7.875%
per annum during 2000.  Thereafter,  the interest rate will range from 7.875% to
8.775%  per annum  through  the  maturity  of the first  mortgage  in 2006.  The
Partnership  also  received  its pro rata share of the  January  2000,  $250,000
principal payment.

During the first five years,  owners are prohibited  from prepaying the mortgage
loans underlying the PIMs.  During the second five years,  owners may prepay the
loans by incurring a prepayment premium.  The Partnership has the option to call
certain PIMs by accelerating their maturity if they are not prepaid by the tenth
year after  permanent  funding.  The  Partnership  will  determine the merits of
exercising  the call option for each PIM as economic  conditions  warrant.  Such
factors as the  condition of the asset,  local market  conditions,  the interest
rate environment and availability of financing will affect those decisions.

Assessment of Credit Risk

The  Partnership's  investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by Fannie
Mae,  FHLMC or HUD and  therefore the certainty of their cash flows and the risk
of material  loss of the amounts  invested  depends on the  creditworthiness  of
these entities.

Fannie  Mae  is  a  federally  chartered  private  corporation  that  guarantees
obligations  originated  under  its  programs.  FHLMC is a  federally  chartered
corporation  that guarantees  obligations  originated  under its programs and is
wholly-owned  by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks.  These  obligations are not
guaranteed  by the  U.S.  Government  or  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Board.
Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government,  are backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

At December  31,  1999 the  Partnership  includes  in cash and cash  equivalents
approximately  $18.7  million of commercial  paper,  which is issued by entities
with a  credit  rating  equal  to one of the  top  two  rating  categories  of a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Interest Rate Risk

The  Partnership's  primary market risk exposure is to interest rate risk, which
can be defined as the exposure of the  Partnership's  net income,  comprehensive
income or  financial  condition  to adverse  movements  in  interest  rates.  At
December 31, 1999, the Partnerships PIMs, PIMIs and MBS comprise the majority of
the Partnership's assets. As such decreases in interest rates may accelerate the
prepayment of the  Partnership's  investments.  The Partnership does not utilize
any  derivatives  or other  instruments  to manage this risk as the  Partnership
plans to hold all of its investments to expected maturity.

The Partnership monitors prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as
distribution  requirements of the  Partnership,  when setting  regular  dividend
distribution policy. For MBS, the fund forecasts  prepayments based on trends in
similar  securities  as  reported  by  statistical  reporting  entities  such as
Bloomberg.   For  PIMs  and  PIMIs,  the  Partnership   incorporates  prepayment
assumptions into planning as individual properties notify the Partnership of the
intent to prepay or as they mature.

The table below provides  information about the Company's financial  instruments
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For mortgage  investments,  the
table presents  principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates
by expected maturity dates. The expected  maturity date is contractual  maturity
adjusted for expectations of prepayments.

The following  discussion relates to the operation of the Partnership during the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

                                                                             (Amounts in Thousands)
                                                             1999              1998                 1997
   Interest income on PIMs:
<S>                                                       <C>                  <C>                 <C>
     Basic interest                                       $ 4,210              $6,195              $10,066
     Participation interest                                 1,001               2,093                5,996
   Interest income on MBS                                   1,071               1,695                2,390
   Other interest income                                      488                 800                  444
   Partnership expenses                                      (732)             (1,005)              (1,549)
   Amortization of prepaid  fees
    and expenses                                           (1,107)             (2,065)              (2,453)

        Net income                                        $ 4,931            $  7,713              $14,894

</TABLE>

Net income  decreased  during  1999 as  compared  to the same period in 1998 due
primarily to lower basic interest on PIMs, lower participation  interest,  lower
interest  income on MBS and lower  other  interest  income.  This was  partially
offset by a decrease in partnership expenses and amortization.

The significant decrease in basic interest on PIMs was caused by the prepayments
of the Windsor Court and Mill Ponds  Apartment PIMs in 1999 and the  prepayments
of the Sundance,  Rosewood,  Woodbine and Ironwood  Apartment  PIMs in 1998. The
decrease in  participation  interest was  primarily a result of the  Partnership
receiving a lower level of  participation  interest and shared  interest  income
from PIM  prepayments  occurring  during the twelve month period ending December
31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.  The  decrease in MBS  interest
income was primarily due to the prepayment of the Brookside and Regency Park MBS
in 1998. The decrease in other interest income was due to the Partnership having
lower  average  short-term  investment  balances  during the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999 when compared to the corresponding period in 1998.

The decrease in partnership expenses was primarily due to lower asset management
fees which were a result of the reduction in the asset base  occurring  from the
prepayments  mentioned  above. The decrease in amortization for 1999 as compared
to the same period in 1998 was a result of the Partnership  fully amortizing the
costs  associated  with the PIMs that were prepaid in 1998  exceeding the amount
that was fully amortized associated with the PIMs that were prepaid in 1999.

Net income  decreased  during  1998 as  compared  to the same period in 1997 due
primarily  to lower basic  interest on PIMs,  lower  participation  interest and
lower  interest  income on MBS. This was partially  offset by increases in other
interest income and a decrease in partnership expenses and amortization.

The significant decrease in basic interest on PIMs was caused by the prepayments
of the Sundance,  Meredith Square,  Fourth Ward Square,  Rosewood,  Woodbine and
Ironwood  Apartment  PIMs in 1998, and the three Paddock and two Paces PIMs that
occurred in 1997. The decrease in participation  interest was primarily a result
of the Partnership receiving a lower level of participation  interest and shared
income  interest  income from PIM  prepayments  occuring during the twelve month
period  ending  December  31, 1998 as  compared to the same period in 1997.  The
decrease in MBS  interest  income was  primarily  due to the  prepayment  of the
Brookside and Regency Park MBS.

The increase in other interest income was due to the  Partnership  having higher
average short-term  investment  balances during the twelve months ended December
31, 1998 when  compared to the  corresponding  period in 1997.  The  decrease in
partnership expenses was primarily due to lower asset management fees which were
a result of the  reduction  in the asset  base  occurring  from the  prepayments
mentioned  above.  The decrease in amortization for 1998 as compared to the same
period  in 1997 was a result  of the  Partnership  fully  amortizing  the  costs
associated with the PIMs that were prepaid in 1997 exceeding the amount that was
fully amortized associated with the PIMs that were prepaid in 1998.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS







To the Partners of
Krupp Insured Plus-III Limited Partnership:

In our opinion,  the accompanying  balance sheets and the related  statements of
income and  comprehensive  income,  of partners'  equity and of cash flows, and
Schedule IV, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Krupp Insured Plus Limited  Partnership (the "Partnership") at December 31, 1999
and 1998 and the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended  December 31, 1999 in  conformity  with auditing
principles  generally accepted in the United States.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We
conducted our audits of these  statements in accordance with auditing  standards
generally  accepted in the United  States which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in the financial  statements,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our audits  provide a reasonable  basis for our opinion  expressed
above.

                    KRUPP INSURED PLUS-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.    Organization

Krupp Insured Plus-III Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  was formed on
March  21,  1988  by  filing  a  Certificate  of  Limited   Partnership  in  The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Partnership was organized for the purpose of
investing in multi-family loans and mortgage backed securities.  The Partnership
issued  all of the  General  Partner  Interests  to Krupp Plus  Corporation  and
Mortgage  Services   Partners  Limited   Partnership  in  exchange  for  capital
contributions  aggregating  $3,000.  The Partnership  terminates on December 31,
2028,  unless  terminated  earlier upon the  occurrence of certain events as set
forth in the Partnership Agreement.
The  Partnership  commenced  the public  offering  of Units on June 24, 1988 and
completed its public offering having sold 12,770,161  Units for $254,686,736 net
of purchase volume discounts of $716,484 as of June 22, 1990. In addition, Krupp
Depository owns one hundred units.

B.    Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership uses the following  accounting  policies for financial reporting
purposes,  which differ in certain  respects from those used for federal  income
tax purposes (Note G):

MBS

The  Partnership,  in accordance  with Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board's
Statement  115,   "Accounting  for  Certain   Investments  in  Debt  and  Equity
Securities" ("FAS 115"), classifies its MBS portfolio as available-for-sale.  As
such the  Partnership  carries its MBS at fair  market  value and  reflects  any
unrealized  gains  (losses) as a separate  component  of Partners'  Equity.  The
Partnership  amortizes  purchase  premiums  or  discounts  over  the life of the
underlying mortgages using the effective interest method.

Effective  January  1,  1998 the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 130, 'Reporting  Comprehensive  Income' (FAS 130). FAS
130 established standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive income and
its components.  FAS 130 requires  comprehensive  income and its components,  as
recognized under accounting standards,  to be displayed in a financial statement
with  the  same   prominence  as  other  financial   statements,   if  material.
Accordingly,  unrealized gains (losses) on the Partnership's  available-for sale
securities have been included in other comprehensive income.

The  Federal  Housing  Administration  (FHA)  insured  mortgage  is  carried  at
amortized  cost. The  Partnership  holds this loan at amortized cost since it is
fully insured by the FHA.

PIMs

The Partnership accounts for its MBS portion of a PIM in accordance with FAS 115
under the  classification  of held to  maturity.  The  Partnership  carries  the
Government  National Mortgage  Association (GNMA) or Fannie Mae MBS at amortized
cost.

Basic interest on PIMs is recognized based on the stated coupon rate of the GNMA
or Fannie  Mae MBS.  Participation  interest  is  recognized  as earned and when
deemed collectible by the Partnership

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership  includes all short-term  investments  with maturities of three
months or less from the date of  acquisition in cash and cash  equivalents.  The
Partnership  invests its cash  primarily  in  commercial  paper and money market
funds with a  commercial  bank and has not  experienced  any loss to date on its
invested cash.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued


B.       Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Prepaid Fees and Expenses

Prepaid fees and expenses  consist of prepaid  acquisition fees and expenses and
prepaid  participation  servicing fees paid for the acquisition and servicing of
PIMs.

The  Partnership  amortizes the prepaid  acquisition  fees and expenses  using a
method that  approximates the effective  interest method over a period of ten to
twelve years,  which represents the actual maturity or anticipated payoff of the
underlying mortgage.

The Partnership  amortizes prepaid  participation  servicing fees using a method
that approximates the effective interest method over a ten year period beginning
at final endorsement of the GNMA loan and at closing if a Fannie Mae loan.

Income Taxes

The  Partnership  is not  liable  for  federal  or state  income  taxes  because
Partnership income is allocated to the partners for income tax purposes.  If the
Partnership's  tax returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state
taxing  authority  and such an  examination  results in a change in  Partnership
taxable income, such change will be reported to the partners.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the  reported  amount of assets and  liabilities,  contingent  assets and
liabilities  and revenues and expenses  during the period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

C.    PIMs

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership had investments in three PIMs and
six PIMs,  respectively.  The Partnership's PIMs consist of a GNMA or Fannie Mae
MBS representing the securitized first mortgage loan on the underlying  property
and a  participation  interest in the  revenue  stream and  appreciation  of the
underlying property above specified base levels.

The borrower  conveys this  participation  feature to the Partnership  generally
through a subordinated  multifamily mortgage (the "Agreement").  The Partnership
receives  guaranteed  monthly payments of principal and interest on the GNMA and
Fannie Mae MBS and HUD insures the first mortgage loan  underlying the GNMA MBS.
The  borrower  usually can not prepay the first  mortgage  loan during the first
five years and may prepay the first  mortgage  loan  thereafter  subject to a 9%
prepayment  premium in years six through nine, a 1%  prepayment  premium in year
ten and no prepayment premium  thereafter.  The Partnership may receive interest
related to its participation interest in the underlying property,  however, this
amount is neither insured nor guaranteed.

Generally,  the  participation  features consist of the following:  (i) "Minimum
Additional  Interest" rates ranging from .5% to .75% per annum calculated on the
unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage on the underlying property,  (ii)
"Shared  Income  Interest"  ranging from 25% to 30% of the monthly  gross rental
income  generated by the underlying  property in excess of a specified base, but
only to the extent  that it exceeds  the amount of Minimum  Additional  Interest
received during such month (iii) "Shared Appreciation Interest" ranging from 30%
to 35% of any  increase in the value of the  underlying  property in excess of a
specified  base.  Payment  of Minimum  Additional  Interest  and  Shared  Income
Interest from the operations of the property is limited to 50% of net revenue or
surplus cash as defined by Fannie Mae or HUD, respectively.

C. PIMs, Continued

The total amount of Minimum  Additional  Interest,  Shared  Income  Interest and
Shared  Appreciation  Interest  payable on the maturity  date by the  underlying
borrower  usually can not exceed 50% of any  increase in value of the  property.
However, generally any net proceeds from a sale or refinancing will be available
to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Shared Income or Minimum Additional  Interest.
Shared  Appreciation  Interest is payable when one of the following occurs:  (1)
the sale of the underlying  property to an unrelated third party on a date which
is later than five years from the date of the  Agreement,  (2) the maturity date
or accelerated maturity date of the Agreement,  or (3) prepayment of amounts due
under the Agreement and the insured mortgage.

Under the Agreement, the Partnership,  upon giving twelve months written notice,
can accelerate the maturity date of the Agreement and insured mortgage to a date
not earlier than ten years from the date of the Agreement for (a) the payment of
all  participation  interest  due  under  the  Agreement  as of the  accelerated
maturity  date, or (b) the payment of all  participation  interest due under the
Agreement plus all amounts due on the first mortgage note on the property.

In December of 1999, the Partnership  received a prepayment on the Marina Shores
PIM in the amount of  $14,491,746  along with  $426,321  of Shared  Appreciation
Interest.  A special  distribution  in the amount of $1.17 per  Limited  Partner

Interest and Shared Income Interest in July,  1999. The Partnership  distributed

distribution  of $.36 per  Limited  Partner  interest  from this  prepayment  on
December 4, 1998.

On June  15,  1998,  the  Partnership  received  a  prepayment  of the  Sundance
Apartments  PIM in the amount of  $7,187,778.  The property  had been  operating
under a modification agreement with the Partnership;  consequently no prepayment
premium or  participation  interest was due at the time of the  prepayment.  The
Partnership  made a special  distribution of $.56 per Limited  Partner  interest
from this prepayment on July 24, 1998.

income to the  Unitholders  for federal  income tax purposes was $.34,  $.57 and
$1.11, respectively.

The basis of the Partnership's  assets for financial  reporting purposes is less
than its tax basis by  approximately  $1,129,000  and $1,336,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The basis of the  Partnership's  liabilities  for
financial  reporting purposes are the same as its tax basis at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.

H.     Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

The Partnership uses the following  methods and assumptions to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.

H.     Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments, continued

MBS

The  Partnership  estimates  the fair value of MBS based on quoted market prices
while it estimates the fair value of insured mortgages based on quoted prices of
MBS with similar  interest rates.  Based on the estimated fair value  determined
using these methods and assumptions,  the  Partnership's  investments in MBS and
insured mortgages had gross unrealized gains and losses of approximately $90,000
and $213, 000 at December 31, 1999 and $327,000 and $0 at December 31, 1998

PIMs

There is no active trading market for these  investments.  Management  estimates
the fair value of the PIMs using  quoted  market  prices of MBS having a similar
interest rate.  Management  does not include any  participation  interest in the
Partnership's  estimated  fair  value  arising  from  the  properties,   because
Management  does not  believe  it can  predict  the time of  realization  of the
feature with any certainty.  Based on the estimated fair value  determined using
these methods and assumptions,  the Partnership's  investments in PIMs had gross
unrealized gains of approximately  $176,000 and $1,753,000 at December 31, 1999,
and December 31, 1998, respectively.

          (a)  The Participating  Insured Mortgages ("PIMs") consist of either a
               mortgage-backed  security  ("MBS")  issued and  guaranteed by the
               Fannie  Mae or an MBS  issued and  guaranteed  by the  Government
               National  Mortgage   Association   ("GNMA")  and  a  subordinated
               multifamily  mortgage with the  underlying  Borrower that conveys
               participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of
               the underlying property above certain specified base levels.

          (b)  Represents the permanent  interest rate of the GNMA or Fannie Mae
               MBS.  The  Partnership  may  also  receive  additional  interest,
               consisting of (i) Minimum Additional  Interest (ii) Shared Income
               Interest and (iii) Shared Appreciation Interest

          (c)  Minimum  additional  interest  is at a  rate  of  .5%  per  annum
               calculated on the unpaid principal  balance of the first mortgage
               note.

          (d)  Minimum  additional  interest  is at a rate  of  .75%  per  annum
               calculated on the unpaid principal  balance of the first mortgage
               note.

          (e)  Shared  income  interest is based on 25% of monthly  gross rental
               income over a specified base amount.

          (f)  Shared  income  interest is based on 30% of monthly  gross rental
               income over a specified base amount.

          (g)  Shared  appreciation  interest is based on 30% of any increase in
               the value of the project over the specified base value.

          (h)  Shared  appreciation  interest is based on 35% of any increase in
               the value of the project over the specified base value.

          (i)  The Partnership's GNMA MBS have call provisions,  which allow the
               Partnership to accelerate their respective maturity date.

          (j)  The normal monthly  payment  consisting of principal and interest
               is  payable  monthly at level  amounts  over the term of the GNMA
               MBS. The normal  monthly  payment  consisting  of  principal  and
               interest for Fannie Mae MBS is payable at level  amounts based on
               a 35 year  amortization  and all remaining  unpaid  principal and
               accrued  interest is due at the end of year ten. The GNMA MBS and
               Fannie Mae MBS may not be prepaid during the first five years and
               may generally be prepaid  subject to a 9%  prepayment  premium in
               years six through nine, a 1%  prepayment  premium in year ten and
               no prepayment premium after year ten.

          (k)  During December 1995, the Partnership agreed to a modification of
               the Royal Palm PIM. The  Partnership  received a reissued  Fannie
               Mae   mortgage-backed   security   ("MBS")  and   increased   its
               participation  percentage in income and appreciation  from 25% to
               30%.  The  Partnership  will  receive its  pro-rata  share of the
               annual principal payment totaling $250,000 due in January 2000.

          (l)  The approximate  principal  balance due at maturity for the Royal
               Palm PIM is $14,946,849

          (m)  The  aggregate  cost of PIMs for federal  income tax  purposes is
