PART I
Item 1.   Business

          Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III
          ("Partnership") is a Missouri limited partnership formed
          pursuant to the Missouri Revised Uniform Limited
          Partnership Act on April 20, 1988.  James R. Hoyt is the
          Individual General Partner.  SIR Partners III, L.P., a
          Missouri limited partnership, and Nichols Resources Ltd.,
          a Missouri corporation, are the General Partners.  James
          R. Hoyt is the managing General Partner.  The Partnership
          has no predecessors or subsidiaries.  The Partnership was
          formed to engage in the business of acquiring, improving,
          developing, operating and holding for investment,                     
          income-producing real properties with the objectives of (i)
          preserving and protecting the Partnership's capital; (ii)
          providing cash distributions from operations; (iii)
          providing capital growth through property appreciation of
          Partnership properties; and (iv) increasing equity in
          property ownership by the reduction of mortgage loans on
          Partnership properties.

          On December 7, 1990, the Partnership closed its offering
          having received gross proceeds of $4,842,500 from the
          sale of 9,685 units of limited partnership interests.

          The Partnership acquired two apartment communities in
          1989.  The General Partners feel that these properties
          met the Partnership's investment criteria and objectives. 
          Because of many factors, the Partnership did not raise
          the level of capital anticipated.  Accordingly, the
          General Partners were unable to obtain the targeted
          leveraged ratio and a residential/commercial property
          mix.

          As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has made cash
          distributions to Limited Partners of $363,928 for the
          period April 1, 1989 through December 31, 1996.  No
          distributions have been made since July 1990.  Future
          distributions will only be made from excess cash flow not
          needed for working capital reserves. 

          As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had no
          employees.  Employees of SPECS, Inc. provide services to
          the Partnership.  The individual General Partner is a
          shareholder in SPECS, Inc.

          Competition

          The real estate business is highly competitive and the
          Partnership competes with numerous entities engaged in
          real estate activities, some of which may have greater
          financial resources than those of the Partnership.  The
          Partnership's  management believes that success against 
<PAGE>
Item 1.  Business--Cont'd.

          such competition is dependent upon the geographic location of the
          property, the performance of property managers, the amount of new
          construction in the area and the maintenance and appearance of the
          property.  With respect to residential property, competition is
          also based upon the design and mix of the units and the ability to
          provide a community atmosphere for the tenants.  The Partnership's
          management believes that general economic circumstances and trends
          and new properties in the vicinity of each of the Partnership's
          properties will also be competitive factors.

          Inflation

          The effects of inflation on the Partnership's operations or
          investments are not quantifiable.  Revenues from property
          operations fluctuate proportionately with increases and decreases
          in housing costs.  Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also
          affect the sales values of properties and, correspondingly, the
          ultimate gains to be realized by the Partnership from property
          sales.

          Results of Operations

          Revenue for the partnership achieved an all time high in 1996 of
          $2,858,000 compared to $2,825,000 (1.2%) in 1995.  This increased
          revenue was the result of a marketing plan implemented by
          management in early 1991 that was designed to simultaneously
          increase gross possible rental rates and increase occupancy levels. 
          During 1996 the operating and administrative costs decreased
          $44,000 (3.4%) primarily in the areas of services, payroll and
          marketing.

          Total expenses decreased $56,000 (3.5%) for 1996 operations
          compared to 1995 results.  The decrease in expenses was primarily
          due to a decrease in administrative, marketing, and payroll costs.

          Interest expense increased from $930,000 in 1995 to $1,202,000
          (29.2%) in 1996.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased
          4.3% from $507,000 to $530,000. The 1996 net loss increased by
          $206,000 or 120.3%.

          Revenue for the partnership was $2,825,000 for 1995 as compared to
          $2,400,000 (17.5%) in 1994.  During 1995 the operating costs
          increased only slightly, $20,000 (1.7%) primarily in the areas of
          repairs, payroll, and utilities.

          Interest expense declined slightly from $931,000 in 1994 to
          $930,000 (.1%) in 1995.  Depreciation and amortization declined
          21.6% from $648,000 to $507,000. The 1995 net loss decreased by
          $457,000 or 72.7% primarily due to the increase in revenues.

          Total expenses increased $106,000 (7.3%) for 1995 operations
          compared to 1994 results.  The increase in expenses was primarily
          due to an increase in professional services of $64,000. 

          Revenue for the partnership achieved an increase in 1994 of
          $2,404,000 compared to $2,364,000 in 1993.  The operating costs
          increased $172,000 (16.7) primarily in the areas of repairs,
          payroll, and utilities.

          The partnership anticipates that 1997 operations will improve as
          the result of planned increases in rental rates and decreased
          promotional rental incentives.  This planned increase in net rental
          income will be coupled with a close monitoring of costs.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

          Liquidity and Sources of Capital

          During 1996, the primary source of working capital was provided by
          existing cash balances.  Operations used $26,000, investing
          activities consumed $207,000 and financing activities used
          $170,000.  During the year accounts payable and accrued expenses
          decreased by $339,000 and accrued interest increased by $142,000. 

          On July 8, 1996 the partnership refinanced the matured $8,400,000
          first mortgage on Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments.  The terms of
          the new mortgage are $8,100,000 at 9.0% interest with monthly
          principal and interest payments in the amount of $65,000 through
          the loan maturity date of August 1, 2001 (5 years).

          In addition, a second mortgage note was signed by the Partnership. 
          The terms of the new note are $400,000 with interest paid monthly
          at the rate of 9% with a maturity date of July 31, 2001 at which
          time the principal shall be due.  The past due real estate taxes on
          Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments were paid in full from a portion
          of the proceeds of this note.  

          During 1995, the primary source of working capital was provided by
          existing cash balances and net cash provided by operating
          activities.  Operations generated $666,000, investing activities
          consumed $230,000 and financing activities used $94,000.  During
          1995 accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $12,000 and
          accrued interest payable increased by $240,000.        

          During 1994, the primary source of working capital was provided by
          existing cash balances and net cash provided by operating
          activities.  Operations generated $132,700 investing activities
          consumed $151,000 and financing activities consumed $31,000. 
          During the year accounts payable and accrued expenses increased
          $67,000 and accrued interest increased by $37,000.

          As a result of declining cash flows for KC Club Apartments, at
          December 31, 1996, the mortgage interest was delinquent by $466,490
          and principal payments have been suspended.  The cash generated
          from operations for that property is insufficient to service the
          mortgage under the current payment requirements.  The General
          Partner has had ongoing negotiations with the lender concerning a
          complete restructure of the mortgage and related debt service.

          The funds due from Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. began to
          be repaid including 9% interest, beginning in May, 1995.  Principal
          payments received in 1996 aggregated $2,440, while interest accrued
          into the note balance was $6,142.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations--Cont'd.

          Liquidity and Sources of Capital--Cont'd.

          The General Partners believe that sufficient working capital will
          be available during 1997 to fund known, ongoing operating and
          capital requirements of the Partnership.  In 1997, the Partnership
          anticipates cash flow from operations will improve because
          management intends to 1) achieve rental rate increases; 2) decrease
          the amount of promotional rent discounts offered on the residential
          properties; and 3) continue to maintain stringent controls over
          expenses.

          The General Partners intend to evaluate the property portfolio to
          determine if it is prudent to offer one or more properties for sale
          or possibly restructure the related financing packages.  Any
          unleveraged portion of the net sales proceeds or favorable
          refinancing terms will generate additional working capital.

          The General partners have determined it prudent to discontinue cash
          distributions until such time that adequate working capital
          reserves are available.

          All statements contained herein that are not historical facts
          including the Partnership's current business strategy, the
          Partnership's projected sources and uses of cash, and the
          Partnership's plans for future operations, are based upon current
          expectations.  These statements are forward-looking in nature and
          involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may
          differ materially.  Among the factors that could cause actual
          results to differ materially are the following: the availability of
          sufficient capital to finance the Partnership's business plans on
          terms satisfactory to the Partnership; competitive factors; changes
          in regulations affecting the Partnership's business; general
          businesses and economic conditions; and other factors described
          from time to time in the Partnership's reports filed with the
          Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Partnership cautions
          readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
          statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private
          Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the
          date made.

         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Partners
Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III
Mission, KS 

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III and affiliated companies as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
partnership (deficit) capital and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996.  We have also audited the
schedules listed in the accompanying index.  These financial statements
and schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based upon our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and schedules are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements and schedules.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements and schedules.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     As discussed in Note C, the Partnership has a mortgage loan that is
delinquent on scheduled payments and real estate taxes.  The Partnership
is in current negotiations with the mortgage holder to extend or
refinance this obligation.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III at December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Also in our opinion, the schedules present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business--Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P.
III ("Partnership") is a Missouri limited partnership formed
pursuant to the Missouri Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on
April 20, 1988.  The General Partners' and Limited Partners'
interest in Partnership earnings or loss initially amounts to 1%
and 99%, respectively.  The allocation of the 1% interest between
the General Partners is discretionary.  At such point in time cash
distributions to the Limited Partners amount to their original
invested capital plus interest at a rate of the greater of 12% (14%
for those investors who subscribed for units on or before 90 days
after December 7, 1988) or the increase in the consumer price index
per annum, cumulative non-compounded on their adjusted invested
capital, net income or loss will be allocated 15% to the General
Partners and 85% to the Limited Partners.

Consolidated Limited Partnerships
To satisfy current real estate lending requirements that real
estate assets be in single asset partnerships, the Partnership has
formed a new single asset partnership by the name of Bicycle Club
Joint Venture, L.P.  The partnership retained the same partnership
structure as Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III, with
Secured Investment Resources Fund, L.P. III being the sole Limited
Partner.  The result of operations of this single asset partnership
have been consolidated with the Partnership.

Depreciation--Investment property is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the property (30 years for
buildings and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment).
Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.  Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to
operations as incurred.

Income Taxes--Any tax liabilities or benefits arising from the
Partnership operations are recognized individually by the
respective partners and, consequently, no provision will be made by
the Partnership for income taxes or income tax benefits.

Partnership Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit--Partnership loss per
limited partnership unit is computed by dividing the loss allocated
to the Limited Partners by the weighted average number of limited
partnership units sold.  The per unit information has been computed
based on 9,685 weighted average limited partnership units
outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONT'D.

NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONT'D.

Debt Issuance Costs--Loan costs, when incurred, are capitalized by
the Partnership.  These costs are amortized over the term of the
related loans.

Restricted Deposits--Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Security
are anticipated to be held to maturity as they are pledged as
collateral as described in Note D.  These instruments are reported
at cost, adjusted for accretion of discounts which are recognized
in interest income using the interest method over the period to
maturity.

Accounting Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

New Accounting Standards--In March 1995, the FASB issued its
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of ("SFAS 121").  SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets
and certain intangibles to be held and used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  In
addition, SFAS 121 requires long-lived assets and certain
intangible to be disposed of to be reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  SFAS 121 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The
application of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on
the financial statements of the Partnership.

KC Club Apartments

The KC Club Apartments' mortgage note payable is collateralized by
the apartment buildings, personal property and assignment of its
leases and rents.  The interest rate for this mortgage as of
December 31, 1996 was 8.45%.

As a result of the declining cash flows for the KC Club Apartments,
at December 31, 1996, the mortgage interest was delinquent by
$466,490 and principal payments have been suspended. The General
Partner and the lender are engaged in ongoing negotations to 
restructure this debt.  It is anticipated that the restructuring
will be completed in 1997.  The Partnership is currently paying
debt service of $25,000 per month which represents the cash flow of
the property.  It is anticipated those payments will continue until
a restructuring or refinance is completed.

The net book value of this property was $3,562,000 as of December
31, 1996.

NOTE C--NON-RECOURSE MORTGAGE DEBT--CONT'D.

Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments

On July 8, 1996 the partnership refinanced the matured $8,400,000
first mortgage on Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments.  The terms of
the new mortgage are $8,100,000 at 9.0% interest with monthly
principal and interest payments in the amount of $65,000 through
the loan maturity date of August 1, 2001 (5 years).

In addition, a second mortgage note was signed by the Partnership. 
The terms of the new note are $400,000 with interest paid monthly
at the rate of 9% with a maturity date of July 31, 2001 at which
time the principal shall be due.  The past due real estate taxes on
Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments were paid in full from a portion
of the proceeds of this note.

Cash paid for interest totaled $984,531, $886,813, and $888,570
during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

Maturities of mortgage debt are as follows:

          1997                         $  4,508,400
          1998                               62,367
          1999                               68,217
          2000                               74,616
          2001                            8,217,403         
                                        $12,931,003

NOTE D--LEASES

The Partnership entered into a land lease agreement for the land
underlying the KC Club Apartments for a term of twenty years.  The
lease payments for years 1 to 15 are calculated at 50% of that
year's net operating income in excess of an ascending scale from
$650,000 to $800,000.  During years 16 to 20, the annual lease
payments are 10% of the land's then appraised value.  For the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the net operating income
did not exceed the land lease requirements which resulted in no
lease payments.  In addition, the Partnership is obligated to pay
real estate taxes assessed on the land value.  

At all times during the term of the lease, the Partnership (or its
assignee) has the right to purchase the land at a price equal to
the greater of $2,000,000 or fair market value at the time the
option is exercised.  Should the buildings and improvements be sold
prior to the end of the land lease agreement (20 years), the
Partnership is under no obligation for payment of the land rental
assessments for the remaining portion of the land lease agreement.

The Partnership invested $500,000 (currently held as a Certificate
of Accrual with a market value of $1,037,000 as of December 31,
1996) which is pledged as collateral until the property's net

the first mortgages for a consecutive 24-month period or May 31,
2004, whichever is earlier.

NOTE F--RELATED PARTY--NOTE RECEIVABLE

On April 12, 1995, the SIR Partners III, L.P. executed a note in
the amount of $522,004.  The interest rates on the notes for 1993

NOTE G--SYNDICATION FEES AND ACQUISITION FEES

Because of many factors, the Partnership did not raise the level of
capital anticipated during the offering period.  As a result,
syndication and acquisition costs and the Related Party Note
Receivable, outlined in Note F, exceeded the amount allowed per the
Partnership Agreement.  The General Partners are obligated to
reimburse these excess costs/fees.   

SIR Partners III, L.P., a General Partner of the Partnership (or
its assignee), has been paid an acquisition fee of $680,000.  This
fee was for selecting, evaluating, negotiating, and closing
services on the acquisition of KC Club Apartments and Greenhills
Bicycle Club Apartments.  As stated in the Prospectus, acquisition
fees may not exceed 11.5% of the gross proceeds of limited
partnership interests issued ($556,888).  The General Partners are
obligated to reimburse these excess costs/fees.

On December 28, 1995, the excess costs and fees were reduced to
$21,751 pursuant to an assumption agreement between the
Partnership, SIR Partners III, and James R. Hoyt.  In exchange for
payment of the excess costs and fees, (as well as the note
receivable described in Note F) the General Partner assumed full
responsibility for the matured second mortgage on Greenhills
Apartments.  Subsequent to year end, the Partnership was provided
with an executed release of the note and second deed of trust
relating to the Greenhills mortgage.

NOTE I--INCOME TAXES

The Partners' capital accounts differ for financial reporting purposes and
federal income tax purposes.  The primary differences result from
depreciation.  The effect of these items is summarized as follows:

NOTE J--CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

No distributions have been made since July 1990.  Future
distributions will only be made from excess cash flow not needed
for working capital reserves.

NOTE K--PARTNERSHIP LIQUIDITY

The Partnership operates within the real estate industry and is
subject to its economic forces, which contributes additional
liquidity risk to the Partnership's investment portfolio.  These
risks include, but are not limited to, changes in general or local
economic conditions, changes in interest rates and the availability
of permanent mortgage financing which may render the acquisition,
sale or refinancing of the property difficult or unattractive,
changes in real estate and zoning laws, increases in real estate
taxes, federal or local economic or rent controls, floods,
earthquakes and other acts of God and other factors beyond the
control of the Partnership's management.  The illiquidity of real
estate investments generally may impair the ability of the
Partnership to respond promptly to changing economic conditions.

The General Partners believe that sufficient working capital will
be available to fund known, ongoing operating and capital
expenditure requirements of the Partnership during 1997.  The
anticipated working capital sources are payments received on notes
and miscellaneous receivables and cash flow from operations during
1997, which is expected to improve over that of the previous year. 
Several factors which could positively affect 1997 operations are
the implementation of rental rate increases at both properties and
decreases in the amount of promotional rent discounts allowed for
the leasing of apartment units.  Accomplishment of these objectives
is partially predicated on the real estate economic conditions
discussed above, which are beyond the control of the Partnership,
and will influence the achieved results. 

The Partnership is currently in negotiations with the mortgage
holder on KC Club Apartments concerning a restructure of that debt. 
More favorable interest rates and possible principal write downs
are under consideration. The Partnership currently makes monthly
cash flow payments of $25,000 on this mortgage and anticipates
making those payments until a restructure is completed.

The availability of the liquidity sources and accomplishment of
these objectives are partially predicated on the real estate
economic conditions discussed above, which are beyond the control
of the Partnership, and will influence the achieved results.

NOTE L--DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values reflected in the balance sheets at December 31,
1996, reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash
equivalents.  The Partnership cannot estimate the fair value of its
fixed-rate borrowings at December 31, 1996, as there is no readily
available market value for instruments with similar
characteristics.


NOTE M--SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Non cash activity for the year ended December 31, 1995 is as
