PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

The Registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-III (the
"Partnership"), is a Delaware Limited Partnership organized in 1983, pursuant to
a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement"), under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act. The Partnership's general partners are Realmark Properties,
Inc. (the "Corporate General Partner"), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph M.
Jayson (the "Individual General Partner").

The Registrant commenced the public offering of its Limited Partnership
Units, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended on February 1, 1984, and concluded the
offering on January 31, 1985, having raised a total of $15,551,000 before
deducting sales commissions and expenses of the offering.

The Partnership's primary business and its only industry segment is to own
and operate income-producing real property for the benefit of its partners. As
of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned one (1) apartment complex with 280
units and two office buildings with 124,960 total square feet of rentable space.
Each of the complexes is managed for the Partnership by Realmark Corporation, an
affiliate of the General Partners.

The Partnership's acquisition and disposition of rental property, as well
as its future plans concerning dispositions, is described in Note 3 to the
financial statements.

Occupancy for each complex as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was as
follows:

1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----

Ambassador Towers/Canterbury Court 87% 81% 80%
(formerly Cedar Ridge)
Perrymont 51% 75% 68%
Inducon Amherst 79% 82% 91%


The operations of the Partnership's properties are consolidated. The
following chart lists the percentage of total Partnership revenue generated by
each complex for the year indicated:

Inducon Amherst 17% 19% 3%
Castle Dore - - 35%

The business of the Partnership is not seasonal. As of December 31, 1999,
the Partnership did not directly employ any persons in a full-time position. All
persons who regularly rendered services on behalf of the Partnership through
December 31, 1999 were employees of the Corporate General Partner or its

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although the Partnership had negative cash flow from operations during the
year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership has been able, due to the sale of
three properties in the last three years, to maintain sufficient cash to enable
it to not only fund operating activities, but also to provide for significant
capital improvements at the remaining properties.

In the beginning of April 1998, management satisfied the mortgage on the
Perrymont Building. This mortgage was in default and the lender was threatening
to begin foreclosure procedures. As a result of the payoff of the outstanding
mortgage, the lender gave the Partnership a sizable discount on the mortgage
resulting in an extraordinary gain totaling $318,213 being recognized in 1998
due to this extinguishment of debt.

In January of 1998, a contract for the sale of the Perrymont Office
Building was signed. The contract had a sales price of $1,750,000. The contract
was soon canceled by the potential buyer and management did not continue to look
for a purchaser for the property and determined instead to undertake renovation
work. Ambassador Tower/Canterbury Court was held for sale in 1997, 1998 and
until June 30, 1999. Management determined to remove it from the market in order
to undertake renovations which could potentially increase the sales price when
the property is ultimately sold.

Increasing occupancy, as well as decreasing delinquencies, remains the
major focus of management. Management's plans include considerable renovation
work at Perrymont Office Building including re-facing of the exterior of the
building to give it a more updated appearance, landscaping, redecorating of all
common area restrooms, and a new sprinkler system. The work cost approximately
$336,000 in 1999 and was funded by proceeds from previous sales of properties.
By improving the physical appearance of the building, both inside and out,
management is hopeful that new tenants will be attracted to the building. Still
to be completed are the replacement of hallway carpeting, fresh paint throughout
the building, foyer alterations, new signage, new doors, fencing at the entrance
and driveway repairs which are expected to cost approximately $147,000 and are
expected to be funded by proceeds from previous sales of properties.

Low occupancies required capital improvements due to the aging portfolio of
the Partnership, and the repayment of a mortgage loan have reduced the
Partnership's cash reserves, however management believes there is still adequate
liquidity and reserves to otherwise pay its expenses. The Partnership made no
distributions during 1999, 1998 or 1997. It is uncertain as to when the
Partnership will be in a position to resume making distributions, although
management is hopeful that a distribution will be made in the coming year once
the capital improvement work scheduled at the properties is either completed or
the full costs may be measured.

Ambassador Towers/Canterbury Court, since the end of 1999, has seen a
significant improvement in its occupancy (i.e., as of April 2000, occupancy
reached approximately 93%). The success seen by this complex is primarily the
result of new on-site staff who came to this complex from one of the
competitors; these employees came with considerable experience and innovative
ideas. The complex began offering new services in 1998 to its residents such as
a concierge office which provides dry cleaning services and travel services, and
a van service taking residents to the bank, the post office, the grocery store,
etc. Additionally, the complex offers free cable to all of its residents (rents
were increased on a per unit basis to cover these costs to the complex). This
has continued in 1999 and has contributed to its success. Management also
believes that the property has become more attractive to

6



ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T.)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONT'D)

potential renters since the construction of a plaza containing a large grocery
store chain, completed during 1998 immediately next to the property. All
hallways in the building have been re-carpeted and freshly painted and
wallpapered. Carpets and appliances within units of this complex are being
replaced on an as-needed basis; moreover, new cabinets, countertops and mirrors
are being added to units when such improvements are deemed necessary to rent
vacant units or retain current tenants. Management is optimistic that this
complex will continue to see increased occupancy in the coming year.

The three complexes held by this Partnership are all deemed to be in "good"
locations and competitive rental markets. With this in mind, management
continues to monitor its expenses closely while also closely monitoring the
rents charged and services offered by its local competition.

The Partnership conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the
systems that could have been affected by the "year 2000 issue" and implemented a
plan to resolve such issues. The year 2000 issue is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could have resulted in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
Management contracted with outside independent computer consultants to resolve
this issue. The majority of the software in use is "2000 compliant" or was added
at no significant cost. Management also engaged a computer firm to re-write its
tax software making it Year 2000 compliant. Management did not experience any
significant problems with its computers as a result of the year 2000 issue and
does not anticipate any such problems in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership incurred a net loss
of $520,868 or $32.49 per limited partnership unit. For the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had net loss of $90,112 or $5.62 per limited
partnership unit and net income of $1,800,830 or $105.38 per limited partnership
unit, respectively. The net income in 1997 was the result of the gain on the
sale of Castle Dore Apartments. The Partnership had a net loss before the gains
recognized upon this sale of $1,294,546 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 totaled
$2,714,957, consisting of rental income of $2,400,717 and other income, which
includes interest, laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of
$314,240. Rental revenue in the year ended December 31, 1998 amounted to
$2,050,131 and in the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled $2,828,947. The
rental income increased $350,586 from 1998 to 1999. The increase in rental
revenue is attributed to the increased occupancy of Ambassador Tower/Canterbury
Court. In 1997 the partnership owned more residential apartment complexes which
were reporting income (i.e., in 1997 there was one more complex which reported
rental income of approximately $976,000).

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T.)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D):

A decrease in rental income at Perrymont of approximately $8,000 or 2.3%
was noted when comparing 1999 and 1998. Occupancy at December 31, 1999 was 51%.
The decrease in occupancy occurred toward the end of 1999 due in large part to
the loss of the building's major tenant. There was also a decrease of
approximately $68,000 in the Partnership's total interest and other income
between the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. This decrease is the result
of lower interest income earned on the investment of the proceeds from the
previous year's sale of Castle Dore Apartments.

Partnership expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 totaled
$3,235,825, a significant increase from the $2,840,623, in expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1998, and a decrease from the $4,196,309 in expenses in 1997.

The increase totaled approximately $395,000. This was due to an increase in
property operation expenses of approximately $318,000. Approximately $133,000
was spent on new appliances at Ambassador Tower/Canterbury Court. The capital
improvement to Perrymont of $336,000 also took place in 1999. In 1998 and 1999
the Partnership has one less property contributing to the total expenses as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997, when expenses related to the
property, which was sold, totaled approximately $1,600,000.

Most other expenses for 1999 remained consistent with 1998 except for an
increase in depreciation expense of $118,180. This was due to Ambassador
Tower/Canterbury Court no longer being held for sale after June 30, 1999 and the
capitalization of the Perrymont capital improvements. There was a decrease in
expenses of $960,484 or 23% between years ended December 31, 1999 and 1997. The
decrease is not only attributed to there being fewer properties owned by the
Partnership during 1999 as compared to 1997, but also that there is no longer a
mortgage on the Perrymont Office Building; in the beginning of April 1998,
management satisfied this mortgage with the lender giving the Partnership a
sizable discount on the mortgage resulting in an extraordinary gain on
extinguishments of debt totaling $318,213 in 1998.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the tax basis loss was $621,698 or
$38.78 per limited partnership unit compared to a tax basis income of $372,451
or $23.23 per unit for the year ended December 31, 1998 and income of $2,135,244
or $133.19 per limited partnership unit for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The gain for tax purposes resulting from the sale of Castle Dore Apartments in
1997 totaled $4,003,583.

The executive officers receive compensation from J.M. Jayson & Co., Inc.
Any portion of an officer's compensation attributable to an officer's services
to the Partnership are immaterial. The directors receive no compensation from
any entity. The Corporate General Partner is entitled to a continuing
Partnership Management Fee equal to 7% of net cash flow (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement), of which 2% is subordinated to the receipt by the
Limited Partners of a noncumulative annual cash return equal to 7% of the
average of their adjusted capital contributions (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement). The Corporate General Partner is paid its 5% Partnership Management
Fee annually as cash flow allows. The 2% subordinated fee will not be paid or
accrued until such time as the Limited Partners have received their 7% return
and payment of the fee becomes probable. The General Partners are also entitled
to 3% of Distributable Cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and to
certain expense reimbursements with respect to Partnership operations.

The General Partners are allowed to collect property disposition fees upon
the sale of acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed the lesser of 50% of
amounts customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering
similar services for comparable properties or 2.75% of the sale price. The
property disposition fee is subordinate to payments to the limited partners of a
cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% of their average adjusted
capital balances and to repayment to the limited partners of a cumulative amount
equal to their capital contributions. The fees earned on the sales of Bryn Mawr
Apartments in 1986, Parc Bordeau Apartments in 1988, Williamsburg South
Apartments, Pleasant Run and Castle Dore will not be recorded as a liability in
the Partnership's financial statements until such time as payment is probable,
which is not anticipated to occur.

REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - III

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997



(1) Formation and Operation of Partnership

Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - III (the
Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on November
18, 1983, to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-producing
real estate investments, its only industry segment.

In February 1984, the Partnership commenced the public offering of units
of limited partnership interest. Other than matters relating to
organization, it had no business activities and, accordingly, had not
incurred any expenses or earned any income until the first interim
closing of the public offering of limited partnership units, which
occurred on April 26, 1984. All items of income and expense arose
subsequent to this date. The maximum offering of the Partnership was
$20,000,000 (20,000 units). The offer terminated January 31, 1985 with
gross offering proceeds of $15,551,000 (15,551 units). The general
partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the corporate general partner)
and Mr. Joseph M. Jayson (the individual general partner). Mr. Joseph
M. Jayson is the sole shareholder of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc.
Realmark Properties, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson
& Company, Inc. Under the partnership agreement, the general partners
and their affiliates can receive compensation for services rendered
and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership
(note 7).

The partnership agreement also provides that distribution of funds,
revenues, costs and expenses arising from partnership activities,
exclusive of any sale or refinancing activities, are to be allocated
97% to the limited partners and 3% to the general partners. Net income
or losses and proceeds arising from a sale or refinancing shall be
distributed first to the limited partners in amounts equivalent to a
7% return on their average adjusted capital balances, plus an amount
equal to their capital contributions. The agreement also provides for
payment of property disposition fees to Realmark Properties. Inc.,
prior to additional distributions to limited partners in amounts
equivalent to 5% of their average adjusted capital balances.
Additional proceeds shall then be allocated to all partners in amounts
equal to their respective positive capital account balances and the
remainder, if any, in the ratio of 87% to the limited partners and 13%
to the general partners. Income and losses from the sale of properties
is to be allocated first to the limited partners to the extent they
receive their average adjusted capital balances plus a preferential
return of 7% and an additional 5%; after this, the income is to be
allocated 87% to the limited partners and 13% to the general partners.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.


F-8


REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - III

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(b) Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets
to operations over their estimated service lives using the
straight-line method. The estimated lives of the Partnership's
assets range from 5 to 25 years. Depreciation expense totaled
$345,876, $227,696 and $232,606 for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Improvements are capitalized,
while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the
appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and
accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are
reflected in the statements of operations. The accelerated cost
recovery system and modified accelerated cost recovery system are
used to calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes.

(d) Cash
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes money market
accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less.

(e) Escrow Deposits
Escrow deposits represent cash which is restricted for the payment of
property taxes and insurance in accordance with the mortgage
agreement.

(f) Mortgage Costs
Mortgage costs incurred in obtaining the property mortgage financing
are recorded at cost less applicable amortization. Amortization is
being computed using the straight-line method over the life of the
respective mortgages.

(g) Rental Income
Rental income is recognized on the straight line method over the term
of the lease. Leases for residential properties have terms of one
year or less. Commercial leases generally have terms of one to
five years.

(h) Income Per Limited Partnership Unit
The income per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the
year.

(i) Accrued Residential Rent Receivable
Due to the nature of accrued rent receivable, all such receivables are
fully reserved at December 31, 1999 and 1998.


F-9



REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - III

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(j) Investments in Mutual Funds
The investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value, which
approximates cost.

(k) Income Taxes
No income tax provision has been included in the financial statements
since profit or loss of the Partnership is required to be reported
by the respective partners on their income tax returns.

(l) Comprehensive Income
ThePartnership has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as "the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
sources." Other than net income (loss), the Partnership has no
other sources of comprehensive income.

(m) Segment Information
SFAS No. 131 - "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" establishes standards for the way public
business enterprises report information about operating segments
and annual financial statements. The Partnership's only operating
segment is the ownership and operation of income-producing real
property for the benefit of its partners.

(n) Accounting Changes and Developments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 - "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes
revised accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
measure all derivative instruments at fair value and recognize
such instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance
sheets. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative instrument will depend on the intended use of the
derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a
foreign currency hedge. The effect of the changes in fair value of
the derivatives and, in certain cases, the hedged items are to be
reflected in either the statements of operations or as a component
of other comprehensive income, based upon the resulting
designation. As issued, SFAS No. 133 was effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 137 - "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133." SFAS No. 137 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for
one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Since the
Partnership does not currently have any derivative instruments or
hedging activities, management does not believe that SFAS No. 133
will have a material effect on the Partnership financial
statements, taken as a whole.

In June 1985, the Partnership acquired a 200 unit apartment complex
(Williamsburg South Apartments) located in Atlanta, Georgia, for a

from the seller a purchase money mortgage in the amount of $3,300,000.

In August 1985, the Partnership acquired an office complex containing
approximately 40,000 net rentable square feet (Perrymont Office
Building) located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of
$2,078,788, which included $168,697 in acquisition fees.

In November 1985, the Partnership acquired a 130 unit apartment complex

(3) Acquisition and Dispositions of Rental Property, Continued

In December 1996, the Partnership sold the Williamsburg South Apartments
and Pleasant Run Farms Apartments for a sales price of $4,831,000 and
$3,350,000, respectively, less related fees of $93,000. The sales
generated a total net gain of $3,501,323 for financial statement
purposes.

In November 1997, the Partnership acquired the remaining 50% interest in
Inducon Joint Venture Amherst through a buyout of the other joint
venturer. The Partnership owns 100% of the property.

In December 1997, the Partnership sold the Castle Dore Apartments for a
sales price of $5,160,000, less related fees of approximately
$174,000. The sale generated a total net gain of $3,095,376 for
financial statement purposes.

During the first six months of 1999 (through June 30, 1999), management
continued its plans to sell the assets of Ambassador Towers. Effective
July 1, 1999, management discontinued its plans to sell the property,
as this was determined to be in the best interests of the investors.
The carrying value of the assets was $3,516,633 at December 31, 1998,
and the property generated a net loss of $134,630 during the year
ended December 31, 1998.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - "Accounting, for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be
Disposed Of " (the Statement) requires that assets to be disposed of
be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs
to sell. The Statement also requires that such assets not be
depreciated during the disposal period, as the assets will be
recovered through sale rather than through operations. In accordance
with this Statement, the long-lived assets of the Ambassador Towers
are recorded at the carrying amount which is the lower of carrying
value or fair value less costs to sell, and have not been depreciated
during the disposal period. Fair value is determined based on
estimated future cash flows. Depreciation expense, not recorded during
the disposal period, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 totaled approximately $111,000, $222,000 and $173,000,
respectively. Management believes that the property's fair value has
not changed significantly since being classified as held for sale.

(4) Mortgages Payable

The Partnership has the following mortgages payable as of December 31,
1999 and 1998:

(a) Perrymont
The outstanding mortgage of $1,259,701 at December 31, 1997 was
satisfied in April 1998. The satisfaction of the mortgage resulted

(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value of certain financial instruments. The fair value of
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deposit
liabilities approximate the carrying value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.

Management has estimated, based on current interest rates for similar
mortgages, that the fair values of the mortgages payable on Ambassador
Towers and Inducon Amherst approximate $3,260,000 and $1,909,000 at
December 31, 1999, respectively. The carrying values of the mortgages
were approximately $3,117,000 and $1,818,000, respectively. The terms
of these mortgages are described in note 4.
