1.    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

         The financial information as of and for the periods ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of PaineWebber
R&D Partners III, L.P. (the "Partnership"), such information includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
presentation. The results of operations reported for the interim periods ended
September 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the most recent annual report of the Partnership on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1997, and the previously issued quarterly
reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1998.

         The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership that commenced
operations on June 3, 1991. Paine Webber Development Corporation ("PWDC" or the
"General Partner"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group
Inc., is the general partner and manager of the Partnership. The Partnership
will terminate on December 15, 2015, unless its term is extended or reduced by
the General Partner.

         The principal objective of the Partnership has been to provide
long-term capital appreciation to investors through investing in the development
and commercialization of new products with technology and biotechnology
companies ("Sponsor Companies"), which have been expected to address significant
market opportunities. The Partnership has been engaged in diverse product
development projects (the "Projects") including product development contracts,
participation in other partnerships and investments in securities of Sponsor
Companies. Once the product development phase has been completed, the Sponsor
Companies have the option to license and commercialize the products resulting
from the product development project, and the Partnership has the right to
receive payments based upon the sale of such products. The Partnership obtained
warrants to purchase the common stock of Sponsor Companies to provide additional
capital appreciation to the Partnership which was not directly dependent upon
the outcome of the Projects (see Note 5).

         All distributions from the Partnership to the General Partner and the
limited partners of the Partnership (the "Limited Partners"; collectively, the
"Partners") have been made pro rata in accordance with their respective capital
contributions. The table below sets forth the proportion of each distribution to
be received by the Limited Partners and the General Partner, respectively:

         30, 1998, Contribution Payout was $1,363 per Unit .......................         99%            1%

    II.  After Contribution Payout and until the value of the aggregate

   III.  After Final Payout.......................................................         75%           25%
</TABLE>

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership made no
cash or security distributions. At September 30, 1998, the Partnership has made
cash and security distributions, as valued on the dates of distribution, since
inception of $1,143 and $98 per Unit, respectively.

         Profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated as follows: (i)
until cumulative profits and losses for each Unit equals Contribution Payout,
99% to Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, (ii) after Contribution
Payout and until cumulative profits and losses for each unit equals Final
Payout, 80% to Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner, and (iii) after
Final Payout, 75% to Limited Partners and 25% to the General Partner. As of
September 30, 1998, the cumulative profits of the Partnership were $553 per
Unit.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions include the
carrying value of non-marketable securities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

         In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("Statement No. 115"), the Partnership accounts for its investments
in restricted common stock (where the restriction period expires in one year or
less) at market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in the
Statements of Operations during the period in which the change in value occurs.
Investments in restricted common stock, whereby the restriction period exceeds
one year, are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(NOTE 2 CONTINUED)

         Marketable securities consist of a money market fund and common stock
which are recorded at market value. Marketable securities are not considered
cash equivalents for the Statements of Cash Flows.

         The Partnership's investments in stock of non-public companies are
subject to fluctuations in value dependent on the underlying value of the
issuing company. Non-publicly traded securities are valued at cost. The carrying
value of these securities is adjusted when changes in their fair values are
readily ascertainable. Downward adjustments relating to such securities are made
in the event that the value as determined by the General Partner's evaluations
of the project technology or Sponsor Company is deemed less than the carrying
value. These evaluations of value are made based on currently available
information and may not necessarily represent the amount, if any, which may
ultimately be realized.

         Realized and unrealized gains or losses are determined on a specific
identification method and are reflected in the Statements of Operations during
the period in which the change in value occurs.

         The Partnership invests in product development contracts with Sponsor
Companies either directly or through product development limited partnerships.
The Partnership expenses product development costs when incurred by the Sponsor
Companies and such costs are reflected as expenditures under product development
projects in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income received and/or
accrued from investments in Projects is reflected in the Statements of
Operations for the period in which the income is earned.

         The Partnership's warrants are currently exercisable and the Sponsor
Company's stock is publicly traded, therefore, the warrants are carried at
intrinsic value (the excess of market price per share over the exercise price
per share), which approximates fair value.

         Biocompatibles International plc ("Biocompatibles") is a development
stage company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of
coatings and new materials which reduce compatibility problems associated with
certain medical devices. The market value of the shares at September 30, 1998,
was $1.527 per share as compared to $1.99 and $8.124 per share at June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized
unrealized depreciation on its investment of 815,000 shares for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1998, of $377,068 and $5,376,278
respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold
45,000 shares of Biocompatibles with a carrying value as of June 30, 1997 of
$974,089 ($21.646 per share) for total proceeds of $1,032,133. Accordingly, the
Partnership recognized a gain for the three months ended September 30, 1997 of
$58,044. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold
1,285,000 shares for aggregate proceeds of $28,017,867. The carrying value of
the shares at December 31, 1996 was $17,912,749 ($13.94 per share) and,
accordingly, the Partnership recognized a gain for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, of $10,105,118. The remaining investment of 815,000 shares
was recorded at the market value of $10.136 per share as of September 30, 1997.

1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Accordingly, the Partnership
recognized unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $8,611 and $(241,170) for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

         In 1997, upon the acquisition of GenPharm International, Inc.
("GenPharm") by Medarex, Inc. ("Medarex"), the Partnership's investment of
1,000,000 GenPharm convertible preferred shares was converted to 281,708
restricted shares of Medarex. The Partnership (as a former GenPharm shareholder)
also received certain contingent payment rights (the "Rights") entitling the
Partnership to additional Medarex shares to be received prior to December 31,
1998. The Medarex shares received in 1997 are saleable on or after January 1,
1999. In accordance with Statement No. 115, at March 31, 1998, the Partnership
reclassified the securities from investments (where they had been recorded at a
zero value) to marketable securities since the restriction period was less than
one year and recorded its investment in the Medarex shares at market value. The
market value of the shares at September 30, 1998, was $1,109,225 ($3.9375 per
share) as compared to $1,866,315 ($6.625 per share) at June 30, 1998.
Accordingly, the Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation of $757,090 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998. In July 1998, pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase by a third party, the Partnership partially assigned its interest in
the Rights for cash proceeds of $598,750 and recognized income from the sale of
this amount for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. In September 1998, the
Partnership received 441,207 unrestricted Medarex shares in connection with its
remaining interest in the Rights. The Partnership recorded the shares as of
September 30, 1998, at the aggregate market value of $1,737,253 and recognized
unrealized appreciation of this amount for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

         A restructuring by GenPharm in 1995 resulted in the spin-off of its
European subsidiary, Pharming BV. In connection with this spin-off, the
Partnership (as a shareholder of GenPharm) received 14,395 shares of Pharming BV
Class A restricted stock which the General Partner valued at $1,150,000 based on
the current and future financial prospects of Pharming BV at that time. In
connection with an initial public offering in July 1998, the company was renamed
Pharming Group N.V. ("Pharming") and the Partnership's investment was converted
into 129,555 ordinary shares (after a 9:1 stock split). The shares are not
saleable until January 1, 1999. At September 30, 1998, in accordance with
Statement No. 115, the Partnership reclassified the securities from investments
to marketable securities and recorded its investment at a market value of
$1,632,393 ($12.60 per share) as compared to a carrying value of $1,150,000 as
of June 30, 1998. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized unrealized
appreciation of $482,393 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

         Upon the acquisition by Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") of
PharmaGenics, Inc. ("PharmaGenics") to form Genzyme Molecular Oncology ("GMO"),
the Partnership's total investment in PharmaGenics preferred shares was
converted into 713,091 restricted common shares of GMO, subject to certain
adjustments. GMO common stock is not publicly traded; therefore, the Partnership
recorded its investment in GMO stock at the carrying value attributable to its
original investment in PharmaGenics preferred stock of $1,000,000. Pursuant to
the terms of the acquisition, the Partnership will be entitled to sell its GMO
stock approximately nine months following the completion of an initial public
offering by GMO.

4.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The General Partner is entitled to receive an annual management fee for
management and administrative services provided to the Partnership. As of
January 1, 1997, the General Partner elected to discontinue the management fee
charged to the Partnership.

         The money market fund invested in by the Partnership is managed by an
affiliate of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI").

         PWDC and PWI, and its affiliates, have acted in an investment banking
capacity for several of the Sponsor Companies. In addition, PWDC and its
affiliates have direct limited partnership interests in some of the same product
development limited partnerships as the Partnership.

5.    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

         Of the Partnership's seven original Projects, the following two
Projects are currently active: a $6.0 million investment in Alkermes Clinical
Partners, L.P., a $46.0 million limited partnership formed to fund the
development, clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of Receptor-Mediated
Permeabilizers for use in the treatment of diseases of the brain and central
nervous system by enabling the delivery of drugs across the blood brain barrier;
and a $6.0 million investment in Cephalon Clinical Partners, L.P., a $45.0
million limited partnership formed to fund the development, clinical testing,
manufacturing and marketing of Myotrophin(TM) for use in the treatment of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and certain other peripheral neuropathies.

         For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized
income from its investment in Gensia Clinical Partners, L.P. ("GCP") in the
amount of $936,540 which represented the Partnership's allocable share of income
recognized by GCP pursuant to the terms of certain product agreements between
GCP and Gensia, Inc. ("Gensia").

         If the Projects produce any product for commercial sale, the Sponsor
Companies have the option to license the Partnership's technology to manufacture
and market the products developed. In addition, the Sponsor Companies have the
option to purchase the Partnership's interest in the technology. In
consideration for granting such purchase options, the Partnership has received
warrants to purchase shares of common stock of certain of the Sponsor Companies.
At September 30, 1998, the Partnership owned warrants to purchase 133,000 shares
and 252,700 shares of Repligen Corporation at an exercise price of $2.50 per
share and $3.50 per share, respectively. The exercise period expires March 2001.
The market value of Repligen Corporation stock at September 30, 1998 was $1.3125
per share. The Partnership's warrant to purchase 35,512 shares of Cayenne
Software, Inc. at an exercise price of $25.91 per share expired in July 1998.
The Partnership did not exercise the warrant since, during the exercise period,
the market price of the stock never exceeded the exercise price.

         Upon the exercise by the Partnership of its exchange option with
PharmaGenics in 1997, the Partnership's warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
PharmaGenics at an exercise price of $2.15 per share was terminated. In
addition, the Partnership's purchase option warrant to purchase 666,667
PharmaGenics' shares was canceled upon the closing of the acquisition of
PharmaGenics by Genzyme.

6.    INCOME TAXES

         The Partnership is not subject to federal, state or local income taxes.
Accordingly, the individual partners are required to report their distributive
share of realized income or loss on their individual federal and state income
tax returns.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Partners' capital decreased from $10.6 million at December 31, 1997, to
$ 8.8 million at September 30, 1998, resulting from the recognition of a net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, of $1.8 million (as discussed
in Results of Operations below).

         The Partnership's funds are invested in a money market fund and
marketable securities until cash is needed to pay for the ongoing management and
administrative expenses of the Partnership or upon the remittance of cash
distributions to the Partners. Liquid assets decreased from $8.5 million at
December 31, 1997 to $7.8 million at September 30, 1998 resulting primarily from
a decrease in the market values of marketable securities held as of these dates
of $5.6 million offset by the receipt of additional shares of Medarex with a
market value at September 30, 1998 of $1.7 million, the reclassification of
securities from investments to marketable securties aggregating $2.7 million
(which includes unrealized appreciation of $1.6 million) and the receipt of $0.6
million from the sale of an investment.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997:

         Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1998, was $1.7
million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The variance of $10.1 million was due to an increase in
revenues of this amount.

         Revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $1.7
million and $(8.4) million, respectively. The increase of $10.1 million resulted
primarily from an increase in realized gains on sale of investments and
marketable securities of $0.5 million and a favorable change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of marketable securities of $10.5 million, offset by
a decrease in income from product development projects of $0.9 million. For the
three months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership recognized net unrealized
appreciation of $1.1 million resulting from its investments of 0.815 million
shares of Biocompatibles, 0.130 million shares of Pharming, and 0.723 million
shares of Medarex. The market value of Biocompatibles decreased from $1.99 per
share at June 30, 1998 to $1.527 per share as of September 30, 1998, resulting
in unrealized depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $0.4
million. Likewise, the market value of Medarex decreased from $6.625 per share
at June 30, 1998 to $3.9375 per share as of September 30, 1998, resulting in
unrealized depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $0.7
million on the Partnership's investment of 0.282 million shares. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership (as a former GenPharm
shareholder) received 0.441 million additional Medarex shares and recorded the
shares at September 30, 1998 at an aggregate market value of $1.7 million
recognizing unrealized appreciation of this amount. Also for this period, in
connection with an initial public offering in July 1998, the Partnership's
investment in Pharming Class A stock was converted into ordinary shares with a
restriction period expiring January 1, 1999. In accordance with Statement No.
115, the Partnership recorded the shares at an aggregate market value of $1.6
million ($12.60 per share) as compared to a carrying value of $1.1 million and
recognized unrealized appreciation of $0.5 million. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation of $9.4
million on its investment of 0.815 million shares of Biocompatibles as a result
of a decrease in the market value of the shares from $21.646 per share as of
June 30, 1997 to $10.136 per share at September 30, 1997. During the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized income from product
development projects of $0.9 million resulting from its investment in

         OF OPERATIONS.

Gensia Clinical Partners, L.P. During the three months ended September 30, 1998,
the Partnership partially sold its Rights as a former stockholder of GenPharm
and received proceeds of $0.6 million upon the sale. Accordingly, the
Partnership recognized income of this amount for this period.

         There were no material variances in expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997:

         Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $1.8 million
compared to net income of $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. The unfavorable variance of $9.8 million was due to a decrease in revenues
of this amount.

         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, were
$(1.7) million and $8.1 million, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to
a decrease in income from product development projects of $0.9 million (see
Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997) and a decrease in realized gains on the
sale of investments and marketable securities of $9.5 million offset by a
favorable change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $0.8 million. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership recognized net
unrealized depreciation of $2.3 million resulting from its investments of 0.815
million shares of Biocompatibles, 0.138 million shares of Gensia, 0.723 million
shares of Medarex and 0.13 million shares of Pharming. The market value of
Biocompatibles decreased from $8.124 per share at December 31, 1997 to $1.527
per share as of September 30, 1998, resulting in unrealized depreciation for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $5.4 million. Likewise, the market value
per share of Gensia decreased as of these dates from $5.813 to $4.063 resulting
in unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $0.2
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, in accordance with
Statement No.115, the Partnership recorded its investment in Medarex restricted
shares (with a restriction period of less than one year) at a market value of
$3.9375 per share at September 30, 1998 and, accordingly, recognized unrealized
appreciation of $2.8 million. Previously, such shares were recorded at zero
value. The Partnership recognized unrealized appreciation on its investment in
Pharming of $0.5 million (see Results of Operations - Three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997). For
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized unrealized
depreciation of $3.1 million on its investment in 0.815 million shares of
Biocompatibles to reflect a decease in the market value from December 31, 1996
of $13.94 per share to $10.136 per share at September 30, 1997. Realized gains
on the sale of marketable securities and investments was $10.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. During this period, the Partnership sold
1.285 million shares of Biocompatibles with an aggregate carrying value at
December 31, 1996 of $17.9 million for proceeds of $28.0 million. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership recognized a realized gain of
$0.6 millon from the sale of Medarex rights.

         There were no material variances in expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

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

YEAR 2000

         The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Calculations
performed with these abbreviated date fields may misinterpret the Year 2000 as
1900 resulting in erroneous calculations or program failures. Currently, the
Partnership utilizes computer programs, through services provided by a
third-party servicing agent, that can adversely affect the Partnership's
operations if they are not Year 2000 compliant. The servicing agent has informed
the Partnership that it is executing a plan to modify or replace significant
applications as necessary to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Programming changes
and initial testing are in progress and expected to be completed by year-end.
Final testing is expected to be completed by May 1999. Conversion of client
databases will commence in May 1999. The servicing agent has not quantified the
extent to which their plan has been completed to date. Incremental costs
associated with the development and implementation of the above plan have been,
and will continue to be, borne by the servicing agent. The status of the
Partnership's investments in Sponsor Companies could be adversely affected if
the computer systems of the Sponsor Companies are not Year 2000 compliant. Based
on the most recent available public disclosure of those Sponsor Companies in
which the Partnership has investments of value, these Sponsor Companies have
stated that they have undertaken programs to insure Year 2000 compliance. As of
the dates of disclosure, the Sponsor Companies do not expect that the Year 2000
Issue will adversely effect their future financial condition. However, they
cannot provide assurances that unanticipated problems or costs will not arise.
To date, the Partnership has no contingency plan in place but intends to
evaluate in March 1999 the status of the Year 2000 Issue with third parties to
determine whether such a plan is necessary.
