                                            (Unaudited)
                                           June 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

   Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited
Partnership, was formed October 17, 1991 under the laws of Florida. 
Gateway offered its limited partnership interests in Series.  The
first Series for Gateway is Series 7.  Operations commenced on July
16, 1992 for Series 7, January 4, 1993 for Series 8, September 30,
1993 for Series 9, January 21, 1994 for Series 10 and April 29,
1994 for Series 11.  Each Series invests, as a limited partner, in
other limited partnerships ("Project Partnerships"), each of which
owns and operates apartment complexes eligible for Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits ("Tax Credits"), provided for in Section 42 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Gateway will terminate on
December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the
Limited Partnership Agreement.  Gateway received capital
contributions of $1,000 from the General Partners and $36,799,000
from the investor Limited Partners.

   Raymond James Partners, Inc. and RJ Credit Partners, Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the
General Partner and Managing General Partner, respectively.  The
Managing General Partner manages and controls the business of
Gateway. 

   Gateway received capital contributions of $10,395,000,
$9,980,000, $6,254,000, $5,043,000 and $5,127,000 from the investor
Limited Partners in Series 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively.  Each
Series is treated as though it were a separate partnership,
investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project Partnerships. 
Income or loss and all tax items from the Project Partnerships
acquired by each Series are  specifically allocated among the
limited partners of such Series.

   Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations
and Tax Credits from each Series are allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners in that Series and 1% to the General Partners.  Profit or
loss and cash distributions from sales of property by each Series
are allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

   Gateway utilizes an accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues
are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as obligations
are incurred.

   Gateway accounts for its investments as the limited partner in
Project Partnerships ("Investments in Project Partnerships") using
the equity method of accounting and reports the equity in losses of
the Project Partnerships on a 3-month lag in the Statement of
Operations.  Under the equity method, the Investments in Project
Partnerships initially include:

   1)  Gateway's capital contribution,
   2)  Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services
   rendered in selecting properties for acquisition, and
   3)  Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and
   other miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.

Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or
decreased as follows:

   1)  Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in
   losses of the Project Partnerships, 
   2)  Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project
   Partnerships,
   3)  Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and
   expenses,
   4)  In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's
   investment was greater than Gateway's pro-rata share of the
   book value of the underlying assets, decreased for the
   amortization of the difference; and 
   5)  In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's investment
   was less than Gateway's pro-rata share of the book value of the
   underlying assets, increased for the accretion of the
   difference.

   Amortization and accretion is calculated on a straight line basis
over 35 years, as this is the average estimated useful life of the
underlying assets.  The net amortization and accretion is shown as
amortization expense on the Statements of Operations.  

   Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the Project
Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are
allocated to the general partners of those partnerships.  In
subsequent years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the
general partners to the extent of the allocation of prior years'
cash losses.

   Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not
obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions,
it does not recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships
to the extent that these losses would reduce the investment in
those Project Partnerships below zero.  The suspended losses will
be used to offset future income from the individual Project
Partnerships.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash
Equivalents.  Short-term investments are comprised of money market
mutual funds.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a
money market mutual fund that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. 
These estimates are based on management's knowledge and experience. 
Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

     Effective April 1, 1994, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115").  Under FAS 115, Gateway is
required to categorize its debt securities as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading securities, dependent upon Gateway's
intent in holding the securities.  Gateway's intent is to hold all
of its debt securities (U. S. Treasury Security Strips) until
maturity and to use these reserves to fund Gateway's ongoing
operations.  Interest income is recognized ratably on the U.S.
Treasury Strips using the effective yield to maturity.

Receivable from Project Partnerships

     Receivable from Project Partnerships represents amounts due from
the Project Partnerships due to a change in the amount Gateway
agreed to pay the Project Partnerships and is secured with cash in
restricted escrow accounts.

Offering and Commission Costs

     Offering and commission costs are charged against Limited
Partners' Equity upon admission of Limited Partners.

Income Taxes

     No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial
statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather
than of Gateway.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The fair value of investment securities is discussed in Note 3. 
The fair value of current assets and current liabilities is assumed
to be equal to their reported carrying amounts due to their short
term nature.  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of
the long term payable to the general partner because it is
attributable to a related party transaction for which there would
be no fair market equivalent.

Basis of Preparation

     The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1996.  In the opinion of management these financial
statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly summarize the Partnership's
financial position and results of operations.  The results of
operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to
be expected for the year.

  The June 30, 1996 Balance Sheet includes Investment in Securities
consisting of U.S. Treasury Security Strips which represents their
cost, plus accreted interest income of $106,214 for Series 7,

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

  The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset
management fees owed to the General Partners at the end of the
period.  It is unsecured, due on demand and, in accordance with the
limited partnership agreement, non-interest bearing.  Within the
next twelve months, the Managing General Partner does not intend to
demand payment on the portion of Asset Management fees payable
classified as long-term on the balance sheet.
 
  The Payable to Project Partnerships represents unpaid capital
contributions to the Project Partnerships and will be paid after
certain performance criteria are met.  Such contributions are in
turn payable to the general partners of the Project Partnerships.

  For the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 the General Partners
and affiliates are entitled to compensation and reimbursement for
costs and expenses incurred by Gateway as follows: 

  Acquisition Fees - Acquisition fees are paid for services
rendered by the Managing General Partner in selecting properties
for acquisition and providing other services in connection with the
acquisition of interests in Project Partnerships.  The acquisition
fees paid or payable to the General Partners will not exceed the
amount that is equal to 8% of the gross proceeds.  For Series 11
the fees will not exceed an amount that is equal to 5% of the gross
proceeds.  The fees paid are included in Investments in Project
Partnerships on the Balance Sheet.

     The capital resources of each Series are used to pay General and
Administrative operating costs including personnel, supplies, data
processing, travel and legal and accounting associated with the
administration and monitoring of Gateway and the Project
Partnerships.  The capital resources are also used to pay the Asset
Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only to the
extent that Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund
Gateway's ongoing needs. 

     The sources of funds to pay the operating costs of each Series
are short-term investments and interest earned thereon, the
maturity of U.S. Treasury Security Strips ("Zero Coupon
Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for this
purpose, and cash distributed to the Series from the operations of
the Project Partnerships.

     Series 7 - Gateway closed this series on October 16, 1992 after
receiving $10,395,000 from 635 Limited Partner investors.  Equity
in losses of Project Partnerships decreased from $278,001 for the
three months ended June 30,1995 to $230,910 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  In general, it is common in the real estate
industry to experience losses for financial and tax reporting
purposes because of the non-cash expenses of depreciation and
amortization.  As a result, management expects that this Series, as
well as the Series described below, will report its equity in
Project Partnerships as a loss for tax and financial reporting
purposes.  Overall management believes the Project Partnerships are
operating as expected and are generating tax credits which meet
projections. 

     At June 30, 1996, the Series had $254,142 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  It also had $486,432 in
Zero Coupon Treasuries.  Management believes the sources of funds
are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee. 
 
     As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a
net loss of $251,641 for the three months ending June 30, 1996. 
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $230,910 and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $9,322. 
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $3,682 primarily
consisting of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships of
$7,286.  There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

     Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
comparable to the three months ended June 30, 1995.   Interest
income decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to June 30, 1995 due to lower interest rates and a
decrease in the average balance of cash available for investment. 
There were no unusual variations in the operating results between
these two periods.

     Series 8 - Gateway closed this Series on June 28, 1993 after
receiving $9,980,000 from 664 Limited Partner investors.  Equity in
losses of Project Partnerships increased from $128,039 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 to $206,775 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was due to the addition of one
property in the Series.

     At June 30, 1996, the Series had $320,389 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  It also had $458,114 in
Zero Coupon Treasuries.  Management believes the sources of funds
are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee. 
 
     As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a
net loss of $226,442 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. 
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $206,775  and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $9,026. 
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $34,394 and was
primarily due to the reduction of a receivable from the Project
Partnerships and cash distributions from the Project Partnerships
of $12,437.

     Expenses for the three ended June 30, 1996 were comparable to
the three months ended June 30, 1995.   Interest income was also
comparable for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
June 30, 1995.  There were no unusual variations in the operating
results between these two periods.

     Series 9 - Gateway closed this Series on December 31, 1993 after
receiving $6,254,000 from 406 Limited Partner investors.  Equity in
losses of Project Partnerships increased from $15,452 for the three
ended June 30, 1995 to $114,657 for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This increase was due to 3 properties moving from the
construction and rent-up phases to fully operating in 1996.

     At June 30, 1996, the Series had $112,210 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  It also had $310,953 in

Project Partnerships.  There were no unusual events or trends to
