PART I  -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
- -------       Financial Condition and Results of Operations
              ---------------------------------------------

      As of September  30, 1997,  Participating  Income  Properties  III Limited
      Partnership,  a  Delaware  limited  partnership,   (the  Registrant),  had
      received  $26,709,000  in gross  proceeds from its offering of Units.  Net
      funds  available  for  investment,  after  payment  of sales  commissions,
      organization  costs and acquisition  fees,  amounted to  $23,012,902.  The
      offering of Units is the  Registrant's  sole source of capital,  and since
      the final  closing of limited  partnership  units was held on February 28,
      1992, the Registrant will not receive  additional funds from the offering.
      The Registrant was fully invested in travel plaza properties and mortgages
      by June 30, 1993 and does not anticipate any further capital expenditures.

      The Registrant  declared a cash  distribution  to the limited  partners of
      $579,419 for the quarter ended  September  30, 1997 (the  period),  which,
      combined with the first and second  quarterly  distributions of $1,158,843
      amounts to $1,738,262  year to date.  During the period,  all net proceeds
      not invested in travel plaza  property and the mortgage loan were invested
      in Government Agency discount notes and bank repurchase  agreements (which
      are secured by United States Treasury and Government obligations).

      During the  period,  the  Registrant  received  base  rental  revenue  and
      mortgage loan interest  income pursuant to its travel plaza lease and loan
      arrangements in the amount of $530,495,  which remains  unchanged from the
      prior year  (year-to-date  base rental  revenue and mortgage loan interest
      income are similarly unchanged).  In addition,  the Registrant received or
      accrued participating rentals of $153,436 and $401,758,  respectively, for
      the quarter and nine months  ended  September  30, 1997,  representing  an
      increase   over   participating   rentals  of   $124,377   and   $380,590,
      respectively,  for the  comparable  periods in 1996. On June 1, 1996,  CFJ
      Properties (lessee of two of the Registrant's travel plazas) curtailed its
      relationship  with a large third party  billing  company for the  trucking
      industry.  The billing company requested changes to its contract that were
      unacceptable  to  CFJ  Properties'   management  due  to  the  significant
      long-term  ramifications of the proposed change on CFJ Properties'  future
      business.  This resulted in reduced volume and margins,  which contributed
      to low  participating  rental  revenues in the quarter ended September 30,
      1996 as compared to the quarter ended  September  30, 1997.  Participating
      rentals  for  the  corresponding   year-to-date   periods  were  similarly
      affected,  although to a lesser extent. Total expenses for the quarter and
      nine months  ended  September  30,  1997  increased  $29,237 and  $19,890,
      respectively,  over  the  comparable  periods  of the  prior  year  due to
      increases  in general  partner fees  resulting  from  increased  operating
      revenues.  Net income for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,
      1997 remained relatively unchanged from the comparable periods in 1996.

      The  decrease in total  assets  reflected  in the  Registrant's  financial
      statements   filed  with  this  report  is  mainly   attributable  to  the
      depreciation allowance, which is deducted for accounting purposes from the
      cost of the assets on the Registrant's books.

      In the opinion of management,  the financial  information included in this
      report reflects all adjustments necessary for fair presentation.  All such
      adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
