ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              ---------------------------------------------

      On  February  2,  1998,   Participating   Income  Properties  III  Limited
      Partnership,  a Delaware limited  partnership,  (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.
      Subsequently, the Registrant entered into purchase agreements with respect
      thereto  on  September  4,  1998.  In  accordance   with  the  partnership
      agreement,  sale  of  substantially  all of the  assets  would  result  in
      dissolution  of  the  partnership  and  liquidation  of  the  Registrant's
      remaining assets, net of liabilities. The limited partners have received a
      proxy  statement  describing  the proposed  transaction  and were asked to
      consent to the proposed  transaction by October 26, 1998. The following is
      a summary of the  results of the  voting:  16,193  units For,  1,470 units
      Against,  377 units  Abstain.  An  affirmative  vote of  limited  partners
      holding a majority of the partnership  units was achieved.  In addition to
      the majority vote,  certain other conditions and contingencies must now be
      satisfied prior to the  consummation of the sale  transaction as set forth
      in the letter of intent  between the  Registrant  and Flying J. Inc. Among
      these conditions are the finalization of financing  arrangements by Flying
      J. Inc.  in order for it to  complete  the  purchase  of the assets of the
      Registrant.  The sale and subsequent  liquidation  of the Registrant  will
      occur as soon as practical if, and to the extent that,  all conditions and
      contingencies have been satisfied or waived.  There can be no assurance as
      to whether or when the transaction will be consummated.

      The Registrant  declared a cash  distribution  to the limited  partners of
      $579,421 for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1998 (the  period)  which,
      combined with the first and second  quarter  distributions  of $1,158,832,
      amounts to $1,738,253  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 $167,629 for the quarter ended September
      30, 1998,  representing an increase over participating rentals of $153,436
      for the  comparable  period in 1997.  The  increase  was due to  increased
      volume at the  travel  plaza  properties.  Participating  rentals  for the
      corresponding year-to-date periods were similarly affected.

      Total expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased  $13,863
      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 based on the Registrant's  disbursable  cash (generally,  cash receipts
      from operations less cash operating  expenses) and 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 $8,060
      during the period resulted  directly from the increase in the Registrant's
      disbursable  cash due to the increase in  participating  rental  revenues.
      Operating  expenses  increased $5,803 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 three- and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30, 1998
      remained relatively unchanged from the comparable periods 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.
