                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                                 MARCH 31, 1999
                                 --------------

1) PARTNERSHIP LIQUIDATION:

On March 22, 1999,  Participating Income Properties III Limited Partnership (the
Partnership) sold  substantially  all of the Partnership's  assets (those assets
comprising  the travel  plazas)  and  recognized  a gain of  approximately  $7.8
million on the sale. The sale of the travel plazas represents the disposition of
substantially all of the Partnership's assets and the Partnership has no further
liability in connection  with any of the travel plazas.  In accordance  with the
partnership agreement,  sale proceeds have been allocated to the General Partner
in an amount equal to its deficit  capital account  balance,  with the remaining
sale proceeds allocated to the limited partners.

In April 1999, the General  Partner began the Partnership  liquidation  process,
which includes the  distribution of assets to the limited partners in accordance
with the partnership  agreement.  The liquidation of the Partnership is expected
to be completed in June 1999 and an estimate of the cost of the  liquidation has
been  included in the  Partnership's  statement  of  operations.  The net amount
ultimately available for distribution to the limited partners depends on various
factors,  such as the actual cost of the  liquidation and the amount of interest
income from temporary  investments  received by the Partnership until completely
liquidated. The General Partner estimates that the liquidating distribution will
approximate $1,015 per limited  partnership unit, of which  approximately $6 per
unit will be deposited in a trust (the Trust Fund) with a bank.  The Trust Fund,
including interest income, would be available to satisfy claims made directly or
indirectly with respect to the liquidation of the Partnership for a period of up
to 24 months following the effective date of the trust agreement, at which time,
as long as there are no unresolved  claims,  the remaining  balance of the Trust
Fund will be disbursed to the limited partners.

2) GENERAL PARTNER FEES:

As described in the 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  disbursable  cash generated  during the quarter
ended March 31,  1999 did not exceed the 9% return to the limited  partners as a
result of the sale of the travel plaza property;  therefore, the General Partner
did not receive a management fee for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

PART I  -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Participating  Income  Properties III Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware  limited
partnership,  (the  Registrant)  entered into purchase  agreements with Flying J
Inc. on September 4, 1998 to sell  substantially all of the Registrant's  assets
(those  assets  comprising  the  travel  plazas)  for cash of  $25,482,518  (the
original  sales price of  $27,220,000  less the partial pay down of the mortgage
loan received by the Registrant in December 1998). The limited partners received
a consent  solicitation  statement  describing the proposed  transaction  and an
affirmative  vote of the limited  partners holding a majority of the partnership
units was achieved on October 26, 1998.  The sale  transaction  was completed on
March  22,  1999 and the  Registrant  recognized  a gain of  approximately  $7.8
million on the sale. The net cash proceeds from this sale are being held in U.S.
government securities pending distribution to the limited partners.  The sale of
the  travel  plazas  represents  the  disposition  of  substantially  all of the
Registrant's  assets and the Registrant  has no further  liability in connection
with any of the travel  plazas.  In April 1999,  the General  Partner  began the
Registrant  liquidation  process that includes the distribution of assets to the
limited partners in accordance with the partnership  agreement.  The liquidation
of the  Registrant  is expected to be  completed in June 1999 and an estimate of
the cost of the liquidation has been included in the  Registrant's  statement of
operations.

The net amount  ultimately  available for  distribution to the limited  partners
depends on various  factors,  such as the actual cost of the liquidation and the
amount of interest income from temporary  investments received by the Registrant
until completely liquidated.  The General Partner estimates that the liquidating
distribution  will  approximate  $1,015 per limited  partnership  unit, of which
approximately  $6 per unit will be  deposited in a trust (the Trust Fund) with a
bank. The Trust Fund,  including interest income,  would be available to satisfy
claims made  directly  or  indirectly  with  respect to the  liquidation  of the
Registrant  for a period of up to 24 months  following the effective date of the
trust agreement,  at which time, as long as there are no unresolved  claims, the
remaining balance of the Trust Fund will be disbursed to the limited partners.

The Registrant  declared a cash distribution to the limited partners of $579,453
for the quarter  ended March 31, 1999 (the  period)  representing  travel  plaza
operations  through the date of the sale of the travel plazas on March 22, 1999.
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 $446,770.  Rental revenue and mortgage loan interest income were lower
in 1999 because the travel plazas were sold prior to the end of the quarter.  In
addition,  the Registrant received or accrued  participating rentals of $120,632
for the quarter  ended  March 31,  1999,  which was  relatively  unchanged  from
participating rentals for the comparable period in 1998.

Operating  expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased  $72,007 from
the  comparable  period of the prior year primarily due to a decrease in general
partner  fees  and  depreciation   expense.  As  described  in  the  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
disbursable  cash  generated  during the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1999 did not
exceed  the 9% return  to the  limited  partners  as a result of the sale of the
travel  plaza  property;  therefore,  the  General  Partner  did not  receive  a
management  fee for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  Depreciation  expense was
also lower this period due to the sale of the travel plaza property.

The increase in total assets reflected in the Registrant's  financial statements
filed with this report is  attributable  to the cash proceeds  received from the
sale of travel  plaza  property  (prior to  distribution  of the proceeds to the
limited partners).

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,  except  those  adjustments  related  to the
liquidation and dissolution of the Registrant.

ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
- -------       -----------------------------------------------------------

The financial  instruments  held by the  Registrant at March 31, 1999 consist of
cash  equivalents   (primarily   investments  in  U.S.  Treasury  securities  or
repurchase  agreements that are  collateralized  by U.S. Treasury and government
obligations)  and receivables from lessees that are short- term in nature and do
not subject the Registrant to a material exposure to changes in interest rates.
