Part I
Item 1 - Business
The Registrant, John Hancock Realty Income Fund-III Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), is a Limited Partnership organized on November 4, 1988
under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act. As of December
31, 1996, the partners in the Partnership consisted of a General Partner,
John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), John Hancock
Realty Funding, Inc. (the "John Hancock Limited Partner"), John Hancock
Income Fund-III Assignor, Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner") and 2,612
Unitholders (the "Investors"). The Assignor Limited Partner holds 5
Limited Partnership Interests for its own account and 2,415,229 Assignee
Units (the "Units") for the benefit of the Investors. The John Hancock
Limited Partner, the Assignor Limited Partner and the Investors are
collectively referred to as the Limited Partners. The initial capital of
the Partnership was $2,100, representing capital contributions of $1,000
from the General Partner, $1,000 from the John Hancock Limited Partner and
$100 from the Assignor Limited Partner. During the offering period, the
John Hancock Limited Partner made additional capital contributions of
$3,863,366. The Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorized the sale of up to
5,000,000 Assignee Units, representing economic and certain other rights
attributable to Investor Limited Partnership Interests.
The Units were offered and sold to the public during the period from
February 17, 1989 to February 15, 1991 pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership sold the
Units for $20 per Unit. No established public market exists on which the
Units may be traded.
The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of acquiring, improving,
holding for investment and disposing of existing, income-producing, retail,
industrial, and office properties on an all-cash basis, free and clear of
mortgage indebtedness. Although the Partnership's properties were
acquired, and are held, free and clear of mortgage indebtedness, the
Partnership may incur mortgage indebtedness on its properties under certain
circumstances, as specified in the Partnership Agreement.
The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is December
31, 2019, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement. It is expected that in the ordinary course of
the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership will be
disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31, 2019.

<PAGE>
Item 1 - Business (continued)
The Partnership's equity real estate investments are subject to various
risk factors. Although the risks of equity investing are reduced when
properties are acquired on an unleveraged basis, the major risk of owning
income-producing properties is the possibility that the properties will not
generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses and to fund adequate
reserves for repair, replacements, contingencies and anticipated
obligations. The income from properties may be affected by many factors,
including: i) adverse changes in general economic conditions and local
conditions, such as competitive overbuilding, a decrease in employment, or
adverse changes in real estate zoning laws, which may reduce the
desirability of real estate in the area or ii) other circumstances over
which the Partnership may have little or no control, such as fires,
earthquakes and floods. To the extent that the Partnership's properties
are leased in any substantial portion to a specific retail, industrial or
office tenant, the financial failure of any such major tenant, resulting in
the termination of the tenant's lease or non-payment of rentals due, would
likely cause at least a temporary reduction in cash flow from any such
property and might result in a decrease in the market value of that
property.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in
its property. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to
whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release
of such hazardous substances. If any such substances were found in or on
any property owned by the Partnership, the Partnership could be exposed to
liability and be required to incur substantial remediation costs. The
presence of such substances or the failure to undertake proper remediation
could adversely affect the ability to finance, refinance or dispose of such
property.
On December 28, 1988, the Partnership acquired a 0.5% interest in JH Quince
Orchard Partners (the "Affiliated Joint Venture"), a joint venture between
the Partnership and John Hancock Realty Income Fund-II Limited Partnership
("Income Fund-II"). Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of
the Affiliated Joint Venture, the Partnership had the option, exercisable
prior to December 31, 1990, to increase its investment and interest in the
Affiliated Joint Venture to 50%. During the second quarter of 1989, the
Partnership exercised such option and Income Fund-II transferred a 49.5%
interest in the Affiliated Joint Venture to the Partnership. The
Partnership has since held a 50% interest in the Affiliated Joint Venture.
On December 28, 1988, the Affiliated Joint Venture contributed 98% of the
invested capital of, and acquired a 75% interest in, QOCC-1 Associates, an
existing partnership which owns and operates a three-story office building
and related land and improvements located in Gaithersburg, Maryland (the
"Quince Orchard Corporate Center"). The partnership agreement of QOCC-1
Associates provides that the Affiliated Joint Venture shall contribute 95%
of any required additional capital contributions. Of the cumulative total
invested capital in QOCC-1 Associates at December 31, 1996, 97.55% has been
contributed by the Affiliated Joint Venture. The Affiliated Joint Venture
continues to hold a 75% interest in QOCC-1 Associates.

<PAGE>
Item 1 - Business (continued)
The Quince Orchard Corporate Center is 100% occupied by Boehringer Mannheim
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. under a ten-year lease which expires in February
2004. The tenant has two options under the lease agreement, one, to
terminate the lease at the end of the seventy-sixth month of the lease, or
June 2000, and, two, to extend the term of the lease for an additional five-
year period.
On December 28, 1989, the Partnership acquired the Palms of Carrollwood
Shopping Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Tampa, Florida.
Although real estate market conditions for retail properties in the market
in which the Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center is located have declined
since the Partnership acquired the property, occupancy levels and rental
rates have stabilized during recent years. However, market conditions
remain competitive due to the new construction of retail space. The
General Partner anticipates that retail market conditions will remain
competitive during 1996 and, therefore, will continue to offer competitive
leasing packages in order to attract new tenants as well as retain existing
tenants at the property.
The Partnership acquired the following warehouse properties on the
following dates. On July 17, 1991, the Partnership acquired Yokohama Tire
Warehouse located in Louisville, Kentucky. On December 27, 1991, the
Partnership acquired the Purina Mills Distribution Building located in St.
Louis, Missouri. On March 6, 1992, the Partnership acquired the Allmetal
Distribution Building located in Carrollton, Texas. On March 16, 1992, the
Partnership acquired the Stone Container Building located in Cincinnati,
Ohio. On March 27, 1992, the Partnership acquired the Business Center at
Pureland located in Bridgeport, New Jersey.
The Partnership's warehouse properties are presently 100% occupied. The
following table sets forth the names of the lessees at each of the
Partnership's warehouse properties and the earliest date on which the
applicable lessee's lease obligations may terminate.

Item 1 - Business (continued)
Within the power accorded to the General Partner under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner contracted, effective as of
January 1, 1992, with Hancock Realty Investors Incorporated ("HRI"), a
wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("John Hancock"), to assist the General Partner in the performance
of its management duties as enumerated in the Partnership Agreement.
Effective May 28, 1993, HRI subcontracted with John Hancock to assist HRI
in the performance of its duties as enumerated in the January 1, 1992
contract. The Partnership has not incurred any additional costs or
expenses as a result of these agreements. The General Partner is further
described in Item 10 of this Report.
Industry segment information has not been provided since the Partnership is
engaged in only one industry segment.
Item 2 - Properties
As of December 31, 1996 the Partnership held the following investments in
its portfolio:
JH Quince Orchard Partners
- --------------------------
On December 28, 1988, the Partnership acquired a 0.5% interest in JH Quince
Orchard Partners (the "Affiliated Joint Venture"), a joint venture between
the Partnership and John Hancock Realty Income Fund-II Limited Partnership
("Income Fund-II"). The Partnership had an initial 0.5% interest and

remains fully liable to perform all of its obligations under the lease and
BPN, as assignee, is also liable to perform all obligations under the

the existing 80,000 square foot area of the building. The General Partner
agreed to construct the additional office space in exchange for i) an
increase in the tenant's rental rate in an amount equivalent to the total
cost of constructing the additional office space, through the end of the
existing term of the lease (December 2001) and ii) the tenant exercising
its two five-year options to extend the term of the lease to December 2011.

<PAGE>
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
In February 1996, a putative class action complaint was filed in the
Superior Court in Essex County, New Jersey by a single investor in a
limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership. The complaint named
as defendants the Partnership, the General Partner, certain other
Affiliates of the General Partner, and certain unnamed officers, directors,
employees and agents of the named defendants.
The plaintiff sought unspecified damages stemming from alleged
misrepresentations and omissions in the marketing and offering materials
associated with the Partnership and two limited partnerships affiliated
with the Partnership. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the
marketing materials for the Partnership and the affiliated limited
partnerships did not contain adequate risk disclosures.
On March 18, 1997, the court certified a class of investors who were
original purchasers in the Partnership. The certification order should not
be construed as suggesting that any member of the class is entitled to
recover, or will recover, any amount in the action.
The General Partner believes the allegations are totally without merit and
will continue to vigorously contest the action.
There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Partnership, to which
the Partnership is a party or to which any of its properties is subject.
Part II
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the
Partnership during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Item 5 - Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security
Holder Matters
(a) Market Information
The Partnership's outstanding securities consist of 2,415,229 Units
originally sold for $20 per Unit. The Units were offered and sold to the
public during the period from February 17, 1989 to February 15, 1991. No
established public market exists on which the Units may be traded.
Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their
investments in the event of an emergency, or for any other reason.
Additionally, the assignment or other transfer of Units would be subject to
compliance with the minimum investment and suitability standards imposed by
the Partnership and by applicable law, including state "Blue Sky" laws.

(c) Dividend History and Restrictions
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
distributed cash in the aggregate amounts of $3,645,723 and $3,050,815,
respectively, from Distributable Cash from Operations (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement). These amounts were allocated 5% to the General
Partner and 95% to the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner, in
accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
The following table reflects cash distributions made during the two year
period ended December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>
During 1996, the General Partner estimated that the Partnership's Cash from
Operations for the year then ending would be sufficient to provide the
Limited Partners with cash distributions at an annualized rate of 7%.
Therefore, effective with the May 15, 1996 quarterly cash distribution, the
Partnership increased cash distributions to Investors from an annualized
rate of 6% to an annualized rate of 7%. The Partnership also made cash
distributions to the John Hancock Limited Partner at an annualized rate of
7% during 1996. The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership's
Cash from Operations will be sufficient to make cash distributions in 1997
comparable to those made in 1996. For a further discussion of the
financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership see Item 7
of this Report.

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $2,663,859 in cash and cash
equivalents, $17,739 in restricted cash and $90,220 in long-term restricted
cash.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Partnership has a working capital reserve with a current balance of
approximately 3.3% of the offering proceeds. The General Partner
anticipates that such amount should be sufficient to satisfy the
Partnership's general liquidity requirements. Based upon the balance of
the working capital reserve and the projected level of cash flows to be
generated from the Partnership's properties, the General Partner determined
that the Partnership's Cash from Operations would be sufficient to provide
the Limited Partners with quarterly cash distributions at an annualized
rate of 7%. Therefore, effective with the May 15, 1996 cash distribution,
the Partnership increased quarterly cash distributions to Investors from an
annualized rate of 6% to an annualized rate of 7%. The Partnership also
made cash distributions to the John Hancock Limited Partner at an
annualized rate of 7% during 1996.
The Partnership's liquidity would, however, be materially adversely
affected if there were a significant reduction in revenues or significant
unanticipated operating costs, unanticipated leasing costs or unanticipated
capital expenditures. If any or all of these events were to occur, to the
extent that the working capital reserve would be insufficient to satisfy
the cash requirements of the Partnership, it is anticipated that additional
funds would be obtained through a reduction of cash distributions to
Investors, bank loans, short-term loans from the General Partner or its
affiliates, or the sale or financing of Partnership investments.
During 1996, cash in the aggregate amount of $372,615 was used for the
payment of leasing costs incurred at the Business Center at Pureland, the
Stone Container Building and the Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center
properties. The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will
incur an aggregate of approximately $487,000 in leasing costs at two of its
properties during 1997, the majority of which is forecasted to be incurred
at the Palms of Carrollwood property. The current balance in the working
capital reserve should be sufficient to pay such leasing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
During 1996, approximately $112,000 of cash generated from the
Partnership's operations was used to fund non-recurring maintenance and
repair expenses incurred at Palms of Carrollwood. The General Partner
anticipates that the Partnership will incur non-recurring repair and
maintenance expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately $157,000 at
its properties during 1997. These expenses will be funded from the
operations of the Partnership's properties and are not expected to have a
significant impact on the Partnership's liquidity.
Cash in the amount of $3,645,723, generated from the Partnership's
operations, was distributed to the General Partner, the John Hancock
Limited Partner and the Investors during the year ended December 31, 1996.
These amounts were distributed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement
and were allocated as follows:
Investors $3,260,558
John Hancock Limited Partner 202,879
General Partner 182,286
----------
Total $3,645,723
==========
The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be able to make
comparable distributions during each of the four quarters in 1997.
One of the anchor tenants at the Palms of Carrollwood vacated the property
during June 1995. In July 1995, the General Partner secured a new anchor
tenant to occupy this space under a lease commencing in November 1995.
Three tenants' leases at the Palms of Carrollwood contain clauses that make
reference to the situation in which the former anchor tenant ceases
operations at the property. The following table sets forth the approximate
amount of square feet leased by these three tenants, their applicable lease
expiration dates and the applicable lease clauses relating to the
replacement of the former anchor tenant:

replacement tenant is not a food store, in accordance with the
terms of the lease, or terminate lease obligations if former
anchor tenant ceases to operate for more than 90 days.
10,500 February 1997 Terminate lease obligations if a
similar replacement tenant is not secured.

- -------------------------------
The tenant leasing approximately 38,000 square feet reduced its rental
payments effective November 28, 1995. In the General Partner's opinion,
the replacement tenant is acceptable (in accordance with the terms of the
tenant's lease) and, therefore, the tenant does not have the right to such
a reduction. During March 1996, the General Partner filed a complaint
against this tenant demanding payment in full of all unpaid rent. The
General Partner will continue to use all available legal remedies in order
to obtain collection of all outstanding amounts due under the lease
agreement resulting from this rental reduction.
The tenant leasing approximately 10,500 square feet, and whose lease is due
to expire in January 2005, reduced its rental payments from May through
August 1996. Subsequently, the General Partner negotiated an agreement
pursuant to which all future rental payments will be made by the tenant at
100% of the contracted amount, but unpaid deficiencies in back rent from
May through August 1996, in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,500,
will be forgiven. In addition, the General Partner agreed that the tenant
could vacate an adjacent space of approximately 1,300 square feet without
further rental liability.
The other tenant leasing approximately 10,500 square feet made its
scheduled rental payments through February 1997, at which time the lease
expired.
With respect to the 38,000 square foot tenant mentioned above, the General
Partner does not believe that any reduction in its rental payments
resulting from the replacement of the original anchor tenant will have a
materially adverse affect on the Partnership's liquidity.
In addition, the General Partner obtained legal judgments against two
former tenants that vacated the Palms of Carrollwood and ceased paying rent
prior to the expiration of their respective leases. During January 1996,
the Partnership received approximately $7,100 from a bankruptcy court,
representing the final settlement of the Partnership's judgment amount
against one of these delinquent tenants. With respect to the other
delinquent tenant, although the Partnership continues to pursue collection
of a summary judgment in the amount of $57,000, based upon such tenant's
financial condition, it is doubtful that the Partnership will be able to
collect all, or any, of this amount.
As of the date hereof, the Palms of Carrollwood is 78% occupied. During
the remainder of 1997, no significant leases are scheduled to expire. The
General Partner will continue to offer competitive leasing packages in an
effort to secure lease renewals with existing tenants as well as to secure
new tenants for the remaining vacant space.

The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership's warehouse properties
and Affiliated Joint Venture investment should, in the aggregate, provide
the Partnership with stable income performance during 1997.
During 1995, a tenant holding a lease for approximately 60,500 square feet,
or 51%, of the Business Center at Pureland property, renewed its lease for
an additional three-year term which commenced in January 1996. During
1996, the Partnership paid approximately $169,000 in leasing costs in
connection with this renewal.
During 1995, Stone Container Corporation, the sole tenant at the Stone
Container Building, requested approval from the Partnership to construct
additional office space within the existing 80,000 square foot area of the
building. The General Partner agreed to construct the additional office
space in exchange for i) an increase in the tenant's rental rate in an
amount equivalent to the total cost of constructing the additional office
space through the end of the then existing term of the lease (December
2001) and ii) the tenant exercising its two five-year lease options to
extend the term of the lease to December 2011. The General Partner
incurred approximately $124,000 in construction costs in connection with
this transaction during 1996.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
The General Partner had the Stone Container Building property independently
appraised during the first quarter of 1996. Based upon the appraiser's
investigation and analysis, the property's market value was estimated to be
approximately $2,100,000. Further, the appraiser estimated that, upon
completion of the additional office space described above, the property's
market value would be approximately $2,200,000. The carrying value of the
Stone Container Building property of approximately $1,956,000 at December
31, 1996 was evaluated in comparison to its estimated future undiscounted
cash flows, the independent appraisal and a recent internal appraisal.
Based upon such evaluation, the General Partner determined that the
property's estimated future undiscounted cash flows were expected to exceed
its carrying value. Therefore, no impairment in value existed and a write-
down in value was not required. The Partnership's cumulative investment in
the property, before accumulated depreciation, is approximately $2,089,000.
The General Partner had the Allmetal Distribution Building property
independently appraised during the second quarter of 1996. Based upon the
appraiser's investigation and analysis, the property's market value was
estimated to be approximately $1,750,000. The net book value of the
Allmetal Distribution Building property of approximately $1,415,000 at
December 31, 1996 was evaluated in comparison to its estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, the independent appraisal and a recent internal
appraisal. Based upon such evaluation, the General Partner determined that
the property's estimated future undiscounted cash flows were expected to
exceed its carrying value. Therefore, no impairment in value existed and a
write-down in value was not required. The Partnership's cumulative
investment in the property, before accumulated depreciation, is
approximately $1,636,000.
The General Partner had the Yokohama Tire Warehouse property independently
appraised during the third quarter of 1996. Based upon the appraiser's
investigation and analysis, the property's market value was estimated to be
approximately $10,000,000. The net book value of the Yokohama Tire
Warehouse property of approximately $7,786,000 at December 31, 1996 was
evaluated in comparison to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows,
the independent appraisal and a recent internal appraisal. Based upon such
evaluation, the General Partner determined that the property's estimated
future undiscounted cash flows were expected to exceed its carrying value.
Therefore, no impairment in value existed and a write-down in value was not
required. The Partnership's cumulative investment in the property, before
accumulated depreciation, is approximately $9,352,000.
The General Partner evaluated the carrying value of each of the
Partnership's other properties and its investment in the Affiliated Joint
Venture as of December 31, 1996 by comparing such carrying value to the
related property's future undiscounted cash flows and the then most recent
internal appraisal in order to determine whether a impairment in value
existed. Based upon such evaluations, the General Partner determined that
no impairment in values existed and, therefore, no write-downs were
recorded as of December 31, 1996.

The General Partner will continue to conduct property valuations, using
internal or independent appraisals, in order to determine whether an

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Average occupancy for the Partnership's investments was as follows:
Years ended December 31,
1996 1995 1994
---- ---- ----
Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center 80% 76% 80%
Yokohama Tire Warehouse 100% 100% 100%
Purina Mills Distribution Building 100% 100% 100%
Allmetal Distribution Building 100% 100% 100%
Stone Container Building 100% 100% 100%
Business Center at Pureland 100% 100% 100%
Quince Orchard Corporate Center
(Affiliated Joint Venture) 100% 100% 83%
Results of Operations - 1996 compared with 1995
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $2,616,017 as compared
to net income of $2,776,632 in 1995.
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by $202,305,
or 6%, as compared to 1995. This increase is primarily due to increases in
rental income at the Palms of Carrollwood, Yokohama Tire Warehouse,
Allmetal Distribution Building, Stone Container Building and Business
Center at Pureland properties. Rental income increased at the Palms of
Carrollwood property primarily due to the fact that a new anchor tenant at
the property pays a rental rate greater than that which the former anchor
tenant paid. In addition, a 4% increase in average occupancy at the
property between periods contributed to the increase in rental income.
However, this increase in rental income at the Palms of Carrollwood was
partially offset by another anchor tenant at the property reducing its
rental payments, as described above. Increases in the rental rates paid by
the sole tenants at the Yokohama Tire Warehouse, Allmetal Distribution
Building and Stone Container Building properties and by one of the tenants
at the Business Center at Pureland property, in accordance with the terms
of their leases, resulted in increased rental income from these properties
during 1996 as compared to 1995. Rental income from the Purina Mills
Distribution Building was consistent between the years.
The Partnership's allocation of income from the Affiliated Joint Venture
for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased by $53,210, or 7%, as
compared to 1995. This decrease is due the manner in which the partnership
agreement of QOCC-1 Associates calculates the income allocation to its
partners. (see Note 6 included in Item 8 of this Report and the audited
financial statements of QOCC-1 Associates filed as an Exhibit to this
Report for additional information).

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------------------
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased by $16,598,
or 10%, as compared to the same period in 1995. This decrease is primarily
due to a decrease in the interest rates earned on the Partnership's working
capital reserves as well as a decrease in the amount of the Partnerships
working capital reserves.
The Partnership's share of property operating expenses increased by
$59,289, or 22%, as compared to 1995 primarily due to an increase in such
expenses at the Palms of Carrollwood Shopping Center. Property operating
expenses at each of the Partnership's warehouse properties were consistent
between years.
Property operating expenses incurred at the Palms of Carrollwood Shopping
Center during 1996 increased by 35% as compared to 1995. The property
incurred approximately $112,000 and $6,000 of non-recurring maintenance and
repair expenses during 1996 and 1995, respectively. These amounts were
incurred to maintain the property's competitive position within its market.
Excluding these amounts, the partnership's share of property operating
expenses decreased by 24%. This decrease is primarily due to the increase
in tenant reimbursements paid by the new anchor tenant as compared to the
former anchor tenant.
Amortization of deferred expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996
increased by $118,042, or 56%, as compared to 1995. This increase was
primarily due to the leasing activity which occurred at the Palms of
Carrollwood and the Business Center at Pureland properties during 1995 and
the amortization of the leasing costs associated with these new leases.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996
increased by $115,781, or 48%, as compared to 1995. This increase is
primarily due to legal fees incurred by the Partnership in connection with
the class action complaint in which the Partnership is one of the
defendants (See Item 3 of this Report for information regarding the class
action complaint). Excluding such legal fees, general and administrative
expenses were consistent between periods.
Results of Operations - 1995 compared with 1994
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $2,776,632 as compared
to net income of $2,543,261 in 1994.
The Partnership's allocation of income from the Affiliated Joint Venture
for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $214,011, or 40%, as
compared to 1994 primarily due to a 17% increase in average occupancy at
the Quince Orchard Corporate Center.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $56,415,
or 53%, as compared to 1994 primarily due to an increase in the interest
rates earned on the Partnership's working capital reserves as well as an
increase in the amount of such reserves.

Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------------------
Amortization of deferred expenses in 1995 decreased by $16,501, or 7%, as
compared to 1994. Included in the 1994 results is a deferred expense write-
off of $47,880 resulting from tenants who vacated their spaces prior to the
termination of their respective leases. Excluding this write-off,
amortization of deferred expenses in 1995 increased by 18% as compared to
1994, primarily due to an increase in deferred expenses relating to leasing
costs incurred at the Palms of Carrollwood and the Business Center at
Pureland properties.
General and administrative expenses in 1995 increased by $52,765, or 28%,
as compared to 1994. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the
time required to be expended by the General Partner and the expenses
incurred in connection with securing a new anchor tenant at the Palms of
Carrollwood Shopping Center and in attempting to collect delinquent rental
amounts from two former tenants at the Palms of Carrollwood.
The General Partner believes that inflation has had no significant impact
on income from operations during the last three fiscal years and the
General Partner anticipates that it will not have a significant impact
during 1997.

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities, net change in operating
assets and liabilities, and net cash provided by operations are as
calculated in the Statements of Cash Flows included in Item 8 of this
Report.
(b) As defined in the Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash from
Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(i.e. not an indicator of performance) or to reflect cash flows or
availability of discretionary funds.
On February 14, 1997, the Partnership made a cash distribution in the
aggregate amount of $961,006 to the General Partner and Limited Partners.
This distribution was based on Distributable Cash from Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1996 less amounts previously distributed. This
amount was allocated 5% to the General Partner and 95% to the Limited
Partners, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Of
the amount distributed to the Limited Partners, the Investors received
$845,330, and the John Hancock Limited Partner received $67,626. Such
amounts represent a 7% annualized return on Limited Partners' Invested
Capital. The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will be able
to make cash distributions during 1997 comparable to those made during
1996.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
General Partner's directors and executive officers, as well as any person
holding more than ten percent of the Units, are required to report their
initial ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Partnership (such requirements hereinafter referred to as "Section 16(a)
filing requirements"). Specific time deadlines for Section 16(a) filing
requirements have been established.

<PAGE>
Item 10 - Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership (continued)
To the Partnership's knowledge, no officer or director of the General
Partner has or had an ownership interest in the Partnership during the 1996
fiscal year or as of the date hereof. In addition, to the Partnership's
knowledge, the County Employees Annuity and Benefit Fund of Cook County,
the greater than 10% holder of Units, was not required to file any reports
relating to Section 16(a) filing requirements during the 1996 fiscal year.
Item 11 - Executive Compensation
None of the officers or directors of the General Partner or any of the
members of the Real Estate Investment Committee referred to in Item 10(c)
receive any current direct remuneration from the Partnership in their
capacities as officers, directors or members of the Real Estate Investment
Committee, pursuant to any standard arrangements or otherwise, nor is any
such remuneration currently proposed. In addition, the Partnership has not
given and does not propose to give any options, warrants or rights,
including stock appreciation rights, to any such person in such capacities.
No remuneration plan or arrangement exists with any such person in such
capacities resulting from resignation, retirement or any other termination.
Therefore, tables relating to these topics have been omitted.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation:
The Partnership did not have a Compensation Committee in 1996 and does not
currently have such a committee. No current or former officer or employer
of the General Partner or its Affiliates participated during the 1996
fiscal year in deliberations regarding the General Partner's compensation
as it relates to the Partnership.
Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners
No person or group, including the General Partner, is known by the General
Partner to own beneficially more than 5% of the Partnership's 2,415,229
outstanding Units as of December 31, 1996, except as follows:
Title of Name and Address of Amount and Nature of Percent of
Class Beneficial Owner Beneficial Ownership Class
----- ---------------- -------------------- -----

director of the General Partner possesses the right to acquire a beneficial
ownership of Units.

Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(continued)
(c) Changes in Control
The Partnership does not know of any arrangements the operations of which
may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Partnership.
Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of
this Report for a description of certain transactions and related amounts
payable by the Partnership to the General Partner and its Affiliates during
1996, 1995 and 1994.
The Partnership provides indemnification to the General Partner and its
Affiliates for acts or omissions of the General Partner or its Affiliates
performed in good faith on behalf of the Partnership, subject to certain
specified exceptions, as described in the following paragraph.
The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that neither the General Partner
nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall be liable, responsible or
accountable in damages to any of the Partners or the Partnership for any
act or omission of the General Partner or such Affiliate in good faith on
behalf of the Partnership within the scope of the authority granted to the
General Partner by the Partnership Agreement and in the best interest of
the Partnership, except for acts or omissions constituting fraud,
negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty. The General Partner
and its Affiliates performing services on behalf of the Partnership shall
be entitled to indemnity from the Partnership for any loss, damage, or
claim by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the
General Partner or such Affiliates in good faith on behalf of the
Partnership and in a manner within the scope of the authority granted to
the General Partner by the Partnership Agreement and in the best interest
of the Partnership, except that they shall not be entitled to be
indemnified in respect of any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of
fraud, negligence, misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty. Any indemnity
shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only.
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner and its Affiliates (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) are
entitled to the following types of compensation, fees, profits/(losses),
expense reimbursements and distributions:
A reimbursement for Acquisition Expenses (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) incurred by the General Partner or its Affiliates was payable at
cost to the General Partner or its Affiliates. The Partnership completed
its property acquisitions on March 27, 1992 and, therefore, did not pay any
such reimbursements during the years ended 1996, 1995 or 1994.
25
<PAGE>
Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (continued)
An Affiliate of the General Partner may receive a Property Management Fee
for providing property management services for the Partnership's
properties. The Partnership is obligated to pay a fee equal to the amount
customarily charged in arms-length transactions by other entities rendering
comparable services for comparable properties in the localities where the
Partnership's properties are located but in no event may such fee exceed 6%
of the gross receipts of the property under management. To date, no
Affiliate of the General Partner has provided property management services
to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership did not pay any such fees
during the years ended 1996, 1995 or 1994.
The General Partner and its Affiliates are also entitled to Reimbursement
for Expenses relating to the administrative services necessary to the
prudent operation of the Partnership, such as legal, accounting, computer,
transfer agent and other services. The amounts charged to the Partnership
for such administrative services may not exceed the lesser of the General
Partner's or such Affiliate's costs or 90% of those which the Partnership
would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable services in
the same geographic area. The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner
or its Affiliates for $179,330, $156,119 and $121,196 of such expenses
during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
A Subordinated Disposition Fee (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
for selling properties is payable to the General Partner in the amount of
3% of the sales price of each property sold. However, no such Subordinated
Disposition Fee may be paid to the General Partner unless and until the
Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner have received a return of
their total Invested Capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) plus
the Cumulative Return on Investment (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) of 12% per annum for all fiscal years ended prior to the date of
payment. Such Subordinated Disposition Fee may not exceed 50% of the
competitive real estate commissions in the area where the property is
located or, together with any other brokerage commission payable to or by
any other person, exceed 6% of the contract sales price of such property.
The Partnership did not pay any such fees during the years ended 1996, 1995
or 1994.
In accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (as described
more fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report), 5% of Distributable Cash from Operations is distributable to the
General Partner and the remaining 95% in the following order of priority:
first, to the Investors in an amount sufficient to provide a non-
cumulative, non-compounded cash return equal to 7% per annum on their
Invested Capital; second, to the John Hancock Limited Partner in an amount
sufficient to provide a non-cumulative, non-compounded cash return equal to
7% per annum on its Invested Capital; and third, to the Investors and the
John Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their respective capital
contributions. The General Partner's share of Distributable Cash from
Operations was $192,201 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $152,541
for each of the two years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the John Hancock
Limited Partner was entitled to a share of Distributable Cash from
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996. The John Hancock Limited
Partner's share for 1996 was $270,506. Distributable Cash from Operations
was insufficient to provide the John Hancock Limited Partner with such a
distribution during the either of the years ended 1995 or 1994.
26
<PAGE>
Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (continued)
A Share of Cash from Sales or Financings may be distributed to the General
Partner and the John Hancock Limited Partner. Cash from Sales or
Financings are distributable in accordance with Section 8 of the
Partnership Agreement (as described more fully in Note 3 to the Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of this Report). No Sales or Financings have
occurred during the years ended 1996, 1995 or 1994 and, therefore, no such
distributions were made.
A Share of the Partnership's Profits or Losses for tax purposes is
allocable to the General Partner and to the Investors and the John Hancock
Limited Partner. Such allocation generally approximates, insofar as
practicable, their percentage share of Distributable Cash from Operations
and of Cash from Sales or Financings. The General Partner will generally
be allocated 1% of Partnership Losses for tax purposes, and the John
Hancock Limited Partner will be allocated tax losses associated with the
Partnership's sales commissions funded by the John Hancock Limited
Partner's Capital Contributions. The General Partner's Share of such
Profits or Losses were profits of $189,088, $178,928 and $168,666 during
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. In
accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the John Hancock
Limited Partner was allocated $280,404 of profits during the year ended
December 31, 1996. The John Hancock Limited Partner was not allocated any
such profits or losses during either of the years ended 1995 or 1994.
The following table reflects all compensation, fees, profits/(losses),
expense reimbursements and distributions from the Partnership to the
General Partner and/or its Affiliates for the three years ended December
31, 1996:

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Partners
John Hancock Realty Income Fund-DIII Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of John Hancock Realty
Income Fund III Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item
14(a). 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. The financial statements
of QOCC-1 Associates (a limited partnership in which JH Quince Orchard
Partners, a joint venture in which the Partnership has a 50% interest, has
a 75% interest) have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us; insofar as our opinion on the financial statements relates
to data included for QOCC-1 Associates, it is based solely on their
reports.
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 are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of John Hancock Realty Income Fund-III
Limited Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its 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 related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization of Partnership
---------------------------
John Hancock Realty Income Fund-III Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on November 4, 1988. As of December 31, 1996, the
Partnership consisted of John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the
"General Partner"), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company; John Hancock Realty Funding,
Inc. (the "John Hancock Limited Partner"); John Hancock Income
Fund-III Assignor, Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"); and 2,612
Unitholders (the "Investors"). The Assignor Limited Partner holds
five Investor Limited Partnership Interests for its own account and
2,415,229 Assignee Units (the "Units"), representing economic and
certain other rights attributable to Investor Limited Partnership
Interests in the Partnership, for the benefit of the Investors. The
John Hancock Limited Partner, the Assignor Limited Partner and the
Investors are collectively referred to as the Limited Partners. The
General Partner and the Limited Partners are collectively referred to
as the Partners. The initial capital of the Partnership was $2,100,
representing capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner,
$1,000 from the John Hancock Limited Partner, and $100 from the
Assignor Limited Partner. The Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement")
authorized the issuance of up to 5,000,000 Units at $20 per unit.
During the offering period, which terminated on February 15, 1991,
2,415,229 Units were sold and the John Hancock Limited Partner made
additional capital contributions of $3,863,366. There were no changes
in the number of Units outstanding subsequent to the termination of
the offering period.
The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of acquiring,
holding for investment and disposing of existing income-producing
retail, industrial and office properties on an all-cash basis, free
and clear of mortgage indebtedness. Although the Partnership's
properties were acquired and are held free and clear of mortgage
indebtedness, the Partnership may incur mortgage indebtedness under
certain circumstances as specified in the Partnership Agreement.
The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is
December 31, 2019, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with
the terms of the Partnership Agreement. It is expected that, in the
ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the
Partnership will be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated,
before December 31, 2019.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------
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 statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.
The Partnership maintains its accounting records and recognizes rental
revenue on the accrual basis.
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less when purchased. These investments are recorded
at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
Restricted cash represents funds restricted for tenant security
deposits and has been designated as current or long-term based upon
the term of the related lease agreement.
Investments in property are recorded at cost less any property write-
downs for impairment in value. Cost includes the initial purchase
price of the property plus acquisition and legal fees, other
miscellaneous acquisition costs, and the cost of significant
improvements.
Depreciation has been provided on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the various assets: thirty years for the
buildings and five years for related improvements. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method.
Acquisition fees for the joint venture investment have been deferred
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of
thirty-one and a half years. Other deferred acquisition fees are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eighty-four
months. Capitalized tenant improvements and lease commissions are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases
to which they relate.
No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
statements as such taxes are the responsibility of the individual
partners and not of the Partnership.
The net income per Unit for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994 is calculated by dividing the Investors' share of net income
by the number of Units outstanding during each year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-------------------------------
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" (the "Statement 121"). Statement 121 requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amounts. Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The adoption
of Statement 121 had no effect on the Partnership's financial
statements at December 31, 1996.
3. The Partnership Agreement
-------------------------
Neither the General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner
shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages to any of the
Partners or the Partnership for any act or omission of the General
Partner or such affiliate in good faith on behalf of the Partnership
within the scope of the authority granted to the General Partner by
the Partnership Agreement and in the best interest of the Partnership,
except for acts or omissions constituting fraud, negligence,
misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty. The General Partner and its
affiliates performing services on behalf of the Partnership shall be
entitled to indemnity from the Partnership for any loss, damage, or
claim by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the
General Partner or such affiliates in good faith on behalf of the
Partnership and in a manner within the scope of the authority granted
to the General Partner by the Partnership Agreement and in the best
interest of the Partnership, except that they shall not be entitled to
be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage, or claim incurred by
reason of fraud, negligence, misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty.
Any indemnity shall be provided out of and to the extent of
Partnership assets only. The Partnership shall not advance any funds
to the General Partner or its affiliates for legal expenses and other
costs incurred as a result of any legal action initiated against the
General Partner or its affiliates by a Limited Partner in the
Partnership.
Distributable Cash from Operations (defined in the Partnership
Agreement) is distributed 5% to the General Partner and the remaining
95% in the following order of priority: first, to the Investors until
they receive a 7% non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash return on
their Invested Capital (defined in the Partnership Agreement) second,
to the John Hancock Limited Partner until it receives a 7%
non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash return on its Invested
Capital; and third, to the Investors and the John Hancock Limited
Partner in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions
(defined in the Partnership Agreement). However, any Distributable
Cash from Operations which is available as a result of a reduction in
working capital reserves funded by Capital Contributions of the
Investors will be distributed 100% to the Investors.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
-------------------------
Profits for tax purposes from the normal operations of the Partnership
for each fiscal year are allocated to the Partners in the same amounts
as Distributable Cash from Operations for that year. If such profits
are less than Distributable Cash from Operations for any year, they
are allocated in proportion to the amounts of Distributable Cash from
Operations for that year. If such profits are greater than
Distributable Cash from Operations for any year, they are allocated 5%
to the General Partner and 95% to the John Hancock Limited Partner and
the Investors, with the allocation made between the John Hancock
Limited Partner and the Investors in proportion to their respective
Capital Contributions. Losses for tax purposes from the normal
operations of the Partnership are allocated 1% to the General Partner
and 99% to the John Hancock Limited Partner and the Investors, with
the allocation made between the John Hancock Limited Partner and the
Investors in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions.
However, all tax aspects of the Partnership's payment of the sales
commissions from the Capital Contributions made by the John Hancock
Limited Partner are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
John Hancock Limited Partner, and not to the Investors. Depreciation
deductions are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Investors, and not to the John Hancock Limited Partner.
4. Transactions with the General Partner and Affiliates
----------------------------------------------------
Fees, commissions and other costs incurred or paid by the General
Partner or its Affiliates during the three years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, and to which the General Partner or its
Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership were
$179,330, $156,119 and $121,196, respectively.
The Partnership provides indemnification to the General Partner and
its Affiliates for any acts or omissions of the General Partner or
such Affiliate in good faith on behalf of the Partnership, except for
acts or omissions constituting fraud, negligence, misconduct or breach
of fiduciary duty. The General Partner believes that this
indemnification applies to the class action complaint described in
Note 9. Accordingly, the Partnership has accrued $41,475 for the year
ended December 31, 1996, which amount is included in the Statements of
Operations and represents the Partnership's share of costs incurred by
the General Partner and its affiliates relating to the class action
complaint.

4. Transactions with the General Partner and Affiliates (continued)
----------------------------------------------------
Accounts payable to affiliates represents amounts due to the General
Partner or its Affiliates for various services provided to the
Partnership, including amounts to indemnify the General Partner or its
Affiliates for claims incurred by them in connection with their
actions as General Partner of the Partnership. All amounts accrued by
the Partnership to indemnify the General Partner or its affiliates for
legal fees incurred by them shall not be paid unless or until all
conditions set forth in the Partnership Agreement for such payment
have been fulfilled.
The General Partner serves in a similar capacity for two other
affiliated real estate limited partnerships.
5. Investment in Property
----------------------
Investment in property at cost, less any write-downs, consists of
managed, fully-operating, commercial real estate as follows:

=========== ===========
The real estate market is cyclical in nature and is materially
affected by general economic trends and economic conditions in the
market where a property is located. As a result, determination of
real estate values involves subjective judgments. These judgments are
based on current market conditions and assumptions related to future
market conditions. These assumptions involve, among other things, the
availability of capital, occupancy rates, rental rates, interest rates
and inflation rates. Amounts ultimately realized from each property
may vary significantly from the market values presented and the
differences could be material. Actual market values of real estate
can be determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales
transaction.
The Partnership leases its properties to non-affiliated tenants
primarily under long-term operating leases.

6. Investment in Joint Venture
---------------------------
On December 28, 1988, the Partnership invested $75,000 to acquire a
0.5% interest in JH Quince Orchard Partners (the "Affiliated Joint
Venture"), a joint venture between the Partnership and John Hancock
Realty Income Fund-II Limited Partnership ("Income Fund-II"). The
Partnership had an initial 0.5% interest and Income Fund-II had an
initial 99.5% interest in the Affiliated Joint Venture. Pursuant to
the partnership agreement of the Affiliated Joint Venture, the
Partnership had the option, exercisable prior to December 31, 1990, to
increase its investment and interest in the Affiliated Joint Venture
to 50%. During the second quarter of 1989, the Partnership exercised
such option and Income Fund-II transferred a 49.5% interest in the
Affiliated Joint Venture to the Partnership for cash in the aggregate
amount of $7,325,672. The Partnership has held a 50% interest in the
Affiliated Joint Venture since the second quarter of 1989.
On December 28, 1988, the Affiliated Joint Venture contributed 98% of
the invested capital of, and acquired a 75% interest in, QOCC-1
Associates, an existing partnership which owns and operates the Quince
Orchard Corporate Center, a three-story office building and related
land and improvements located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The
partnership agreement of QOCC-1 Associates provides that the
Affiliated Joint Venture contribute 95% of any required additional
capital contributions. Of the cumulative total invested capital in
QOCC-1 Associates at December 31, 1996, 97.55% has been contributed by
the Affiliated Joint Venture. The Affiliated Joint Venture continues
to hold a 75% interest in QOCC-1 Associates.

---------------------------
Net cash flow from QOCC-1 Associates is distributed in the following
order of priority: (i) to the payment of all debts and liabilities of
QOCC-1 Associates and to fund reserves deemed reasonably necessary;
ii), to the partners in proportion to their respective invested
capital until each has received a 9% return on invested capital and
iii) the balance, if any, to the partners in proportion to their
interests. During 1996, the partners received a return on invested
capital in excess of 9%. Prior to 1996, QOCC-1 Associates had not
provided the partners with a return in excess of 9% on their invested
capital
Income and gains of QOCC-1 Associates, other than the gains allocated
arising from a sale other similar event with respect to the Quince
Orchard Corporate Center, are allocated in the following order of
priority: i) to the partners who are entitled to receive a
distribution of net cash flow, pro rata in the same order and amounts
as such distributions are made and ii) the balance, if any, to the
partners, pro rata in accordance with their interests.

JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
9. Contingencies
-------------
In February 1996, a putative class action complaint was filed in the
Superior Court in Essex County, New Jersey by a single investor in a
limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership. The complaint
named as defendants the Partnership, the General Partner, certain
other Affiliates of the General Partner, and certain unnamed officers,
directors, employees and agents of the named defendants. The
plaintiff sought unspecified damages stemming from alleged
misrepresentations and omissions in the marketing and offering
materials associated with the Partnership and two limited partnerships
affiliated with the Partnership. On March 18, 1997, the court
certified a class of investors who were original purchasers in the
Partnership.
The Partnership provides indemnification to the General Partner and
its Affiliates for acts or omissions of the General Partner in good
faith on behalf of the Partnership, except for acts or omissions
constituting fraud, negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary
duty. The General Partner believes that this indemnification applies
to the class action complaint described above. Accordingly, the
Partnership has accrued $41,475 for the year ended December 31, 1996,
which amount is included in the Statement of Operations and represents
the Partnership's share of costs incurred by the General Partner and
its Affiliates relating to the class action complaint.
At the present time, the General Partner can not estimate the impact,
if any, of the potential indemnification claims on the Partnership's
Financial Statements, taken as a whole. Accordingly, no provision for
any liability which could result from the eventual outcome of these
matters has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
10. Subsequent Events
-----------------
On February 14, 1997, the Partnership made a cash distribution in the
aggregate amount of $961,006, based on Distributable Cash from
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 less amounts
previously distributed. This amount was allocated 5%, or $48,050 to
the General Partner and 95%, or $912,956 to the Limited Partners, in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Of the amount distributed
to the Limited Partners, the Investors received $845,330 and the John
Hancock Limited Partner received $67,626. Such amounts represent a 7%
annualized return on Limited Partners Invested Capital.

the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The partnership was organized on December 27, 1988, as a general
partnership under the laws of the State of Maryland for the purpose of
operating an office building with approximately 99,782 of net rentable
square feet in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The building was acquired in
December 1988. The partnership conducts its rental operations under a
lease agreement with one tenant.
Use of 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Rental Property
---------------
Rental property is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided for in
amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations
over their estimated service lives by use of the straight-line method.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the partnership considers
all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less
to be cash equivalents.
Rental Income
-------------
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. For instances in
which rent concession periods are involved, rental income is recognized
using the straight-line method over the term of the lease, which includes
the rent concession period. The amount applicable to the rent concession
is recorded as a deferred asset against which future collections are
applied. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.
The lease between the partnership and the tenant of the property is an
operating lease.

Income Taxes
------------
No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these
financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and
is reportable by, the partners individually.
Prepaid Leasing Commissions
---------------------------
Prepaid leasing commissions are charged to operations using the straight-
line method over 76 months.
Leasing Costs
-------------
Leasing costs were incurred to obtain a new tenant for the office
building and improve the rental space. These costs are being written
off using the straight-line method over the ten-year term of the lease.
NOTE B - RENTAL INCOME UNDER OPERATING LEASE
The partnership has leased the office building to a new tenant effective
March 1994 under a ten-year term with a five-year renewal option at the
discretion of the lessee. The tenant may terminate the lease after the
76th calendar month of the term by notifying the landlord as outlined in
the lease agreement. Rental income consists of fixed base rent and
variable lease escalation reimbursements, calculated annually.
Future minimum base rental payments due under the noncancelable
operating lease are as follows:

for the first 76 months of the tenant's lease, which began March 1994. If
the tenant does not exercise its option to terminate the lease after the
76th month, additional commissions in the amount of $376,198 for the
remaining 44 months of the tenant's lease will be due at that time.

by each bank. As of December 31, 1996, the uninsured portion of the cash
balances held at the banks was $303,566.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1994
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The partnership was organized on December 27, 1988 as a general
partnership under the laws of the State of Maryland for the purpose of
operating an office building with approximately 99,782 of net rentable
square feet in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The building was acquired in
December, 1988.
Rental Property
---------------
Rental property is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided for in
amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations
over their estimated service lives by use of the straight-line method.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the partnership considers
all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less
to be cash equivalents.
Rental Income
-------------
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. For instances in
which rent concession periods are involved, rental income is recognized
using the straight-line method over the term of the lease, which includes
the rent concession period. The amount applicable to the rent concession
is accrued as an account receivable against which future collections are
applied. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.
The lease between the partnership and the tenant of the property is an
operating lease.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these
financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and
is reportable by, the partners individually.
Prepaid Leasing Commissions
---------------------------
Prepaid leasing commissions are charged to operations using the straight-
line method over the ten year term of the lease.

building. The tenant has executed a lease beginning March, 1994. These
costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the ten year term
of the lease.
NOTE B - RENTAL INCOME UNDER OPERATING LEASE
The partnership has leased the office building to a new tenant effective
March 1994 under a ten-year term with a five-year renewal option at the
discretion of the lessee. The tenant may terminate the lease after the
76th calendar month of the term by notifying the landlord as outlined in
the lease agreement. Rental income consists of fixed base rent and
variable lease escalation reimbursements, calculated annually.
Future minimum base rental payments due under the noncancelable operating
lease are as follows:

The partnership has entered into a lease commission agreement with Carey
Winston. The agreement provides for $546,696 of commissions to be paid
for the first 76 months of the tenant's lease, which began March 1994.
Of this amount, during 1994 the partnership paid the remaining balance
due of $273,348 upon commencement of the lease. If the tenant does not
exercise its option to terminate the lease after the 76th month,
additional commissions in the amount of $376,198 for the remaining 44
months of the tenant's lease will be due at that time.
NOTE E - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000
by each bank. As of December 31, 1994, the uninsured portion of the cash
balances held at the banks was $304,309.
