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

      As  of  June  30,  1998,   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.

      On February 2, 1998, the  Registrant  entered into a letter of intent with
      Flying J. Inc. to sell  substantially  all of the Registrant's  assets for
      cash of  approximately  $27  million.  The  sale  is  subject  to  certain
      conditions  specified in the letter of intent,  including the  negotiation
      and execution of definitive sale and financing  agreements with respect to
      the assets of the Registrant  and the approval,  by vote, of a majority of
      the  limited  partner  interests.   In  accordance  with  the  partnership
      agreement,  sale  of  substantially  all  of the  assets  will  result  in
      dissolution  of  the  partnership  and  liquidation  of  the  Registrant's
      remaining assets, net of liabilities.  There can be no assurance as to the
      final  terms of the  proposed  transaction,  that the  conditions  will be
      satisfied  or that  the  proposed  transaction  will be  consummated.  The
      limited  partners  will  receive a proxy  statement  containing a complete
      description of the proposed transaction.

      The Registrant  declared a cash  distribution  to the limited  partners of
      $579,416 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 (the period) which,  combined
      with the first  quarter  distribution  of $579,416,  amounts to $1,158,832
      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 period  (year-to-date base rental revenue and mortgage loan interest
      income are similarly unchanged).  In addition,  the Registrant received or
      accrued  participating  rentals of $153,548 for the quarter ended June 30,
      1998,  representing an increase over participating rentals of $136,589 for
      the comparable period in 1997. 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 June 30,  1997 as compared to the quarter
      ended  June  30,  1998.   Participating   rentals  for  the  corresponding
      year-to-date periods were similarly affected.

      Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased  $16,878 over
      the  comparable  period of the prior  year due to an  increase  in general
      partner  fees and  operating  expenses.  As  described  more  fully in the
      Registrant's  partnership agreement,  the general partner's management fee
      is subordinated  to a 9% return to the limited  partners on their Adjusted
      Capital  Contribution,  as defined.  The increase in the general partner's
      management  fee of $4,395  during the period  resulted  directly  from the
      increase in the Registrant's  disbursable  cash (generally,  cash receipts
      from  operations  less  cash  operating   expenses).   Operating  expenses
      increased  $12,483 during the period due to an increase in  administrative
      expenses   related  to  the   proposed   transaction.   Expenses  for  the
      corresponding year-to-date periods were similarly affected. Net income for
      the six months ended June 30, 1998 remained relatively  unchanged from the
      comparable period in 1997.
<PAGE>
      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.
