PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1 - Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements of Southeast Acquisitions III, L.P.
(the "Partnership") at March 31, 2003 are attached hereto as Exhibit A.


Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.


Background

The Partnership was formed to acquire, own and realize appreciation in
the following properties by holding them for investment and eventual sale (each
a "Property", collectively the "Properties"): 208 acres of undeveloped land in
Fulton County, Georgia; 265 acres of undeveloped land in Henry County, Georgia;
24 acres of undeveloped land near Nashville, Tennessee; 48 acres of undeveloped
land near Fort Myers, Florida; and 51 acres of undeveloped land near Columbia,
South Carolina. There can be no assurance that the Partnership's objectives will
be realized. At March 31, 2003, there remained approximately 105 acres of the
Fulton County, Georgia property.


Results of Operations for First Quarter of 2003 Compared with
First Quarter of 2002

The Partnership activities for the first quarter of 2003 and the first
quarter of 2002 were focused on the sale of Partnership property. During the
first quarter of 2003 there were no land sales as compared to the first quarter
of 2002 when the Partnership sold all of the remaining land in Columbia, South
Carolina, approximately 33 acres, for a sales price of $500,000. The Partnership
recognized a loss of $1,850 from this sale. During the first quarter of 2003 the
Partnership earned $437 in interest income as compared to $1,141 in the first
quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest earned was a result of having a lower
average cash reserve during the quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2002.
The decrease in the average cash reserve resulted from a distribution to the
limited partners that had been made in March of 2002.

Expenses in the first quarter of 2003 included general and
administrative expenses of $6,578 versus $6,518 in the first quarter of 2002.
Real estate taxes in the first quarter of 2003 were $999 compared with $1,199 in
the first quarter of 2002. The 2002 taxes included greenbelt rollback taxes of
$270 related to the sale of Columbia, South Carolina property. There were no
rollback taxes in the first quarter of 2003. Insurance in the first quarter of
2003 was $54 as compared with $92 in the first quarter of 2002.

Inflation did not have any material impact on operations during the
first quarter of 2003 and it is not expected to materially impact future
operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership had cash reserves of $47,865 at March 31, 2003, which
will be used to cover the following estimated annual costs: accounting fees of
$17,880, legal fees of $8,000, insurance costs of $216, property taxes of
$3,994, and other general and administrative expenses $12,000. In the General
Partner's opinion, the Partnership's reserves will be sufficient for an
additional year. However, if additional expenses






are incurred, then the reserves may be inadequate to cover the Partnership's
operating expenses. If the reserves are exhausted, the Partnership may have to
dispose of some or all of the Property or incur indebtedness on unfavorable
terms.


Item 3. Controls and Procedures

(a) Within the ninety day period prior to the date of this report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our management,
including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer,
concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to timely alert them to any material information
relating to the company that must be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to
the date we carried out this evaluation.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

None


Item 2 - Changes in Securities

There were no changes in the Partnership's securities during the first
quarter of 2003.


Item 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

There was no default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking
or purchase fund installment or any other default with respect to any
indebtedness of the Partnership. The Partnership has issued no preferred stock;
accordingly, there have been no arrearages or delinquencies with respect to any
such preferred stock.


Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to the Partners for a vote during the first
quarter of 2003.


Item 5 - Other Information
