GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND III LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004

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. As of June 30, 2004, Gateway had received capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partners and $36,799,000 from the investor Limited Partners.

   Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, 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 will be 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 will be specifically allocated among the limited partners of such Series.

   Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and Tax Credits from each Series are generally 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, because management believes that Gateway does not have a majority control of the major operating and financial policies of the Project Partnerships in which it invests, 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
       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, and
   3)  Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and
       expenses.

   Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over 35 years, as this is the average estimated useful life of the underlying assets. The amortization 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.

   Gateway reviews its investments in Project Partnerships to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the investment, Gateway recognizes an impairment loss. No impairment loss has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

   Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control, such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of tax credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide funds in order to protect its investment. Gateway does not guarantee any of the mortgages or other debt of the 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.

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.

Reclassifications

   For comparability, the 2002 and 2003 figures have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform with the financial statement presentation used in 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

   In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No 144 provides accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption did not have an effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.

   In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2004. The Partnership does not feel that there will be any effects on its results of operations as a result of the adoption of FIN46. Prior to the effective date of FIN 46, Ga teway is required to disclose its maximum exposure to economic and financial statement losses as a result of its involvement with variable interest entities. Gateway's exposure to these losses is limited to its investment in the Project Partnerships which is $7,023,821 at June 30, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures:

   Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's management, including the Partnership's chief executive and chief financial officers, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was performed. Based on this evaluation, such officers have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of that evaluation in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in this report and the Partnership's other reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The proceeds from Limited Partner investors' capital contributions available for investment are used to acquire interests in Project Partnerships.

   As disclosed on the statement of operations for each Series, interest income is comparable for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. The General and Administrative Expenses - other was also comparable for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. However, the General and Administrative Expenses - General Partner was significantly lower. This decrease was due to lower administrative costs. Except as described above, there were no unusual variations in the operating results between these two periods.

   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. (Payment of any Asset Management Fee unpaid at the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project Partnerships is subordinated to the investors' return of their original capital contribution.)

   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 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased slightly from $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $41,397. 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 those 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, 2004, the Series had $340,706 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $270,404 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $72,000 in fiscal year 2005 increasing to $86,000 in fiscal year 2008. 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 $70,712 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $41,397 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $10,753. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $7,586, consisting of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships.

   Series 8 - Gateway closed this Series on September 28, 1993 after receiving $9,980,000 from 664 Limited Partner investors. Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased from $20,608 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $16,434 as a result of an increase in rental revenue. At June 30, 2004, the Series had $366,554 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $256,760 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $67,000 in fiscal year 2005 increasing to $82,000 in fiscal year 2008. 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 $46,021 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $16,434 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $11,866. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $4,521, consisting of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships. There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

   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 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased from $61,035 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $50,811 as a result of an increase in rental and other income. At June 30, 2004, the Series had $245,435 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $182,137 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $39,000 in fiscal year 2005 increasing to $47,000 in fiscal year 2009. 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 $67,293 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $50,811 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $5,905. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $2,438, consisting of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships. There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

   Series 10 - Gateway closed this Series on January 21, 1994 after receiving $5,043,000 from 325 Limited Partner investors. Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased from $40,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $39,274 as a result of an increase in rental and other income. At June 30, 2004, the Series had $245,729 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $162,893 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $28,000 in fiscal year 2005 increasing to $40,000 in fiscal year 2010. 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 $50,165 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $39,274 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $4,248. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $2,130, consisting of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships. There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

   Series 11 - Gateway closed this Series on April 29, 1994 after receiving $5,127,000 from 330 Limited investors. Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased from $22,316 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $38,922 as a result of a decrease in rental and other income. At June 30, 2004, the Series had $244,700 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $184,978 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $34,000 in fiscal year 2005 increasing to $44,000 in fiscal year 2010.
